The State Republican thinks the way to
men who agree with him on the lynching
question to the p~enitentiary for life as
accessories to the crime. Wouldn't it be
better for the State Republican to advise
its vicious colored political associates to
quit committing the crime?

Henry Clews says the recent slump in
stocks shows that the trust-building syn
dica ties had overloaded the country with
Watered stock and there had to be a day
OF unloading. He says the stock market
Las had forty per cent break in ten
months. Of this he thinks twenty-five
per cent justified as a reaction from an
excessive SIX years imitation and fifteen
per cent due to sandbagging the market.
He predicts a recovery Of the fifteen per
cent.

the growing crops and ruin their pro-
ductiveness.
Diseases are to the body what weeds
are to the soil. They divert the nutri-
ton which is necessary to sound health,
and the body, instead of being strong
and hardy, drags out a sickly existence.
When + 2 stomach is diseased, and the
other o. ans of digestion and nutrition
are involved with it, there is a constant
loss of nutrition by the body. The stom-
ache and its allied organs are not able to
convert the foods into nourishment, and
hence the body and its several organs are
deprived of the necessary elements of
vitality. What is known as vweak
heart or uweakn lungs, vweak" nerves
and other forms of so-called weakness, are
generally caused by "weak" stomach.
When the stomach and the other organs
of digestion and nutrition are cured, then
the other diseases are cured with it. Dis
eases which are caused by a diseased
condition of the stomach are cured
through the stomach. DR., Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases
of the stomach and its associated organs
Of digestion and nutrition. 1t cures
through the stomach diseases of heart,

of health.
