Save the Children

Ninety-nine of every one hundred
diseases that children have are due to
disorders of the stomach, and these dis
orders are all caused by indigestion.
KodOl Dyspepsia Cure is just Is good

'My little boy is now three years old
and has been suffering from indigestion
ever since lie was born. / have had the
best doctors in Nashville, but failed to

Der of the New Idea Woman's Maya

Speaking of bleeding Kansas, til

Speaking of bleeding Kansas, the
Fayette (Kan.) Journal says the ac-
count of a recent race trouble in its
town was grossly exaggerated" 1t
gives the simple" facts without ex-
aggerating them, as follows: "Ihe white
people of the town simply tied four ne
groes-one man aud three women-to a
tree and horsewhipped them till they
were bloody and the mar tainted. The
women, however, were handled a little
lrougher than they ought to have been,
being dragged from their beds in their
night gowns. The people of Fayette
are %penceable and quiet. and will not
adopt severe measures unless driven
to it.n
What would fanatic John Brown say
of such treatment to "a race, in his own
State, too, in whose defence he and his
followers lost their lives some forty odd
years ago. Things have changed in
bleeding Kansas since then.

than a horse power machine or a kilo-

the question from the %plutocratic stand
point. IL the laboring man can be con-
