A weak stomach weakens the man,
because it cannot transform the food
he eats into nourishment. Health and
strength cannot be restored to any
sick man or weak woman without first
restoring health and strength to the

ATTEMPT TO WRECK
TWO NEW BUILDINGS
Explosion in New York Structures
Against Which Sam Parks I'm

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Two explosions
occurred between midnight and daylight
in new buildings against which Sam
Parks union of housesmiths is making
war. The contractors are convinced that
some members of the union are at the
bottom of these jobs.
The first explosion, in the new Broad
way Tabernacle, at Fifty-sixth Street
and Broadway, was at 1880 a. m. There
was an odor Of gunpowder. Examination
by Police Captain Handy, Chief Muir
ray. of the bureau of combustibles. and
J. Stewart Barney. architect of the
building, disclosed not the faintest trace
Of an explosion.
The second attempt to damage a
building job was made in the eight
story steel frame structure going up at
130-136 West FOrty-third Street, for
Acker, Merrell & Condit. at 4:55 a. m.
There was an explosion which showed
that an attempt was made to wreck an
engine and its boiler. A bomb or a mine
OF some explosive had been set down on
the BOOSTING engine, close to its drum,
and exploded.

GREENWOOD. Del. Dec. IA
glance over this devastated Delaware
town furnishes proof positive that some
thing more deadly than 100 pounds Of
dynamite exploded in the wreck of two
freight trains on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road here ten days ago.
The public has been told that dyna-
mite was the cause of the fearful ex-
plosion. and 100 pounds was named as
the amount No one who is acquainted
with the mower of dynamite will accept
the statement. This If a dynamite ex-
plosion. was a thousand-pound job.
But IL was not a dynamite explosion
that wrecked half Of Greenwood and
damaged the other half The car which
blew up was loaded in New York, and
was consigned to the Government. it's
destination being Newport News. 1t

which experiments have been made in

Too High.

CINCINNATI. Dec. 14-While the en-

here are bewailing the prospective loss
of their Christmas turkeys, 1t is little
satisfaction for them to know that Pres
ident Harper. OF the Chicago Universe
ty. is expecting a big donation from
John D. Rockefeller for the benefit of
the institution.
For many years the Standard Oil men
have been given a turkey and a quart of
oysters. or a $2.50 gold piece as a holiday
gift. Alexander Mcdonald inaugu-
rated the plan a long time ago.
/ The directors this year decided that
turkeys are too high in price. and agreed
to dispense with the custom. The en-
/ ployes are bordering on the fact that
the price Of $3.50 gold pieces is the
same, and cannot see why the direc-
tors. If they cannot afford TO buy tur-

ENEMY FROM WITHIN
AMERICAS WORST FOE

CHICAGO, Dec. 14-''In my opinion
the men who have palmed Off bogus
securities on the public have done more
harm to American institutions. to Amer
lean spirit. unity. good feeling. and
prosperity than IL they had deliberately
spread over this land pestilence and
fever" Thus spoke Judge Grosscup, Of
the Federal court, to the Merchants
Club.
IF the American Republic ever comes
TO grief il will not be due to any for
eign foe. not from any outside enemy,
but from one within. 1t is the result
of this sense of being wronged hon
estly entertained in many instances.
which has brought most of the middle
class to believe that a few of our citi-
zens enjoy better opportunities than do
others. and that there is no bond of
faith to unite the two"
He asserted that two great forces con-
fronted the American people. ''One is
that of the labor union, which in itself
represents a certain sort of paternalism,
and the other is the paternalism of the
corporation"
