Keep Gut Of Debt.

The Retail Grocers association
are pushing n bill which they think
will help TO collect debts. This
enables them TO reach the laboring
innHs wages now exempt from gar
nishment. 1t il our opinion that
the bill will not prove beneficial to
the creditor or the debtor The
hill If passed will encourage poor
men TO 20 in debt for many things
which they can do without. As n
general rule no man should be en-.
cournyed in going in debt. In
Maine, for instance, n mnn can be
imprisoned on n Judgment of ten
dollars or could few years ago.
In Massachusetts, so sends man
To n felon's cell at the will Of his
creditor. Once in debt his wages
are no longer his own; they are ms.
signed to his grocer who pays his
rent and other necessary expenses
aud from the balance his family is
fed ut such profit N may suit the
creditor. Such man never sees
n cent of wages from one years end
to another. Once in Jail the debt.
or takes tn. poor mans oath and
h~ is let out. That forever pays
the hill. Stringent collection laws
encourage the giving Of credit,
aud there il not on. man IN n hon.
dred but who Hbnee. his credit
They see things they wan. aud
think that in 60 or 81 days they
can pay for them. but at the end OF
tlmt time when they have the mon.
ey there are other needs TO be sup.
Piled and the creditors are stood
oiY. The best rule in the world IL
~ pay m you go. Ia some states
there NJ. practically no laws 10 "n.
force the collection of debts, And
yet men aro trusted upon their
honor. Those debts nrc s.cred

NUMBER 789
n FARMERS TRUST.

W hile congress is trying to de-
stroy or control the trusts of the
capitalists the farmers are eudeav-
oring to organize a combina-
ton to hold up prices of their pro
ducts. The latest elfor. in this di-
rectlon is The organization of The
American Society of Equity with
headquarters at indianapolis.
They say that in Kansas casesare
on record where corn sold for 10
cents to SlOO bushel and the
next year, on account of a good
crop, down to u cents bushel,
aud that no business can thrive
under such uncertainties. BY CO.
operation the farmers can fix a
minimum for all their products.
They assert that it is the surplus
of any crop THAT fixes the price on
all. Therefore, if we have enough
farmers who will abide by the in
structions of the Society, to repre-
sent the surplus, the results are
accomplished.
The American Society of Equi-
ty, 1t says, will make an ideal
condition on the farm. 1t will
make farming the preferred pro-
fession and farmers the best peo-
pie in the land. 1t will remove
the drudgery of farming and farm
ers Will become rich. They will
work shorter hours and pay better
wages; educate their children and
build new houses aud barns. The
whole country will be transformed
into n beautiful paradise of happy,
prosperous homes"

ADVICE TO JIM.

ADVICE TIC JIM.
Not long ago a newspaper man
who had met with some degree Of
| success in the country, sold his
weekly newspaper and resolved to
60 to Chicago to work. With a de-
termined mind he arrived in the Hi
nois metropolis and began a search
for a position. To his surprise he
was discouraged on every hand.
The newspaper men Of the city off.
ces who were not too busy to talk
to him, all advised him to return to
the country. Finally he found an
old-time friend, now a business
manager Of one Of the big city's dali
lies. To him he confided his ambi-
ton. The old friends advice came
readily:
"Don't do it, Jim-stay where you
arel You have children to clothe
and educate; you have comforts and
enough to make home happy. You
know with a reasonable degree Of
assurance that your business will
give you as good a living tomorrow
as it does today. You will work no
harder there, and with less brain
wear. You will accomplish more
and save double! If you begin here
it means a paltry sum of SIS per
week. You alone cannot exist for
long onsthis sum, and what Of the
wife and children? The rise is slow
and the rewards are few. About
the best you al hope for is a posi-
ton as copy reader at $50 per weel.
Years hence you may become an ed
~itorial writer at $50, $75 or 800 a
week, but you must excel many 9th
ers to reach this goal. If you fail
you are worn out timber, good only
for q copy holder or a drudge. Go
back to the country, buy another
newspaper and shut your eyes to
the city mirage. AS yo,r friend, as
one who knows whereof he speaks, I
advise you, for the sake Of yourself
ind your loved ones, 60 back to the
countryl'
And Jim went!

A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
The Way Physicians Now Treat
Catarrh.

Physicians who formerly depended
upon inhalers, sprays and local washes
or ointments now use Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets because az one of the most
prominent stated, these tablets contain
IN pleasant, convenient form all of the
really efficient and reliable catarrh rem
edies. such as red gum. blood root and
Hydrastin.
They contain no cocaine or opiate $50
common in liquid catarrh medicines
and cough syrups) and they are given
to little children with entire safety and
benefit
Dr. ]. ]. Reitinger says: II suffered
from Catarrh in my head and throat
every winter and it would hang on clear
into summer, with stoppage of the nose
and irritation in the throat affecting
my voice so that I was continually
clearing my throat before l could speak
plainly; it finally extended to the stom-
ach. causing catarrh of the stomach.
81 bought a fifty-cent box of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets at my druggists,
carried them in my pocket and used
them regularly several times day,
and the way in which they cleared my
head and throat and improved my hear
ing and general health l consider little
short of remarkable. 1 had no catarrh
last winter and spring and know l am
entirely free from any catarrhal trouble
whatever"
Mrs. Jerome Ellison of Wheeling
writes: II suffered from catarrh near
1y my whole life, and last winter my
two children also suffered from ca
tarrhaI colds and sore throat so much
they were out of school a large part of
the winter. My brother who was cured
of catarrhal deafness by using Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets urged me so much to
try them that | sent to the drug store
and bought a package and 1 am truly
thankful for what they have done for
Inc and my children. I always keep
box of the tablets in the house and at
the first appearance of a cold or sore
throat one or two of the catarrh tablets
nips it in the bud and Catarrh is no
longer household affiiction with u.s.
