1t had not been for the papers. Others
owe much OF their political prestige to
the newspapers. Editors go to trouble
and expense to boost the politician
and to advance the interests of the
community, but the state does not in

with their services. The laws relating
to the services of newspapers in the
various sorts of litigation in this state
are very lax and oftentimes work not
only hardship on the publishers but
also entail financial loss. 1t is oppor-

should pay the debt it owes to the
newspapers and pass laws which will
protect them in their honest efforts to
serve the state and the people. 1t ap-
pears to us that the Editorial Associa-
tion might have had this matter in
hand, instead of junketing over the
country.

U. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble
Catarrh Of The Stomach IS Generally
Called dyspepsia Something
to prnaaaes A Artificial llgaS-
tlOa is Generally Taken.
Hence pspsin, pancrsatin and a Host
Of Other Digestive OsmHdiss
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach The
Seat Of Difficulty, Which
Is Really Catarrh.

Ex-U, s, Senator NJ. q. Butler from
South Carolina. was senator from that
state for two terms. In recent letter
to The Peruna Medicine Co., from
Washington, D. O., says:
al can recommend Peruna for dys-
pepSia and stomach trouble. ! have
been using your medicine for q short
period and feel very much relieved.
Il Is indeed wonderful medicine be-
sides good tonic. M. {. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dys.
pepsia is to remove the catarrh.
Peruna cures catsrrh. Peruna does
not produce artificial digestion. 1t
cures catArrh and leaves the stomach to
perform digestion in natural way.
This is vastly better and safer than re.
sorting to artificial methods.
Peruna has cured more cases OF dys-
pepsia than all other remedies com.
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. II catarrh is To-
Gated in the head. Peruna cures it. Ii
catarrh has fastened itself in the throat
or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it,
When catarrh becomes settled in the
stomach, Peruna cures 1t, rs we'll in
this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is catarrh rem
edy. Peruna cures dyspepsia because
it is generally dependent upon catarrh.

HOLLAND cAARlrAsLe WORK
Church and Private Institutions HI.
eel In the Aid Granted,

Church and Private Institutions HI.
eel In the Aid Granted,
A recent report OF the minister OF tie
interior Of the Netherlands is of par
tIcular interest, giving complete str
tlstlcs Of the amount expended In char
table work In Holland, says the Revue
Sclentlnque, This matter IL regulated
In Holland by the law OF June 2S, 1854,
which recognizes four sorts OF charlt
able lnstitutlons--those which are nd
mlnlstered by the state, the provinces
or the communes. those which abelong
to a church and are for the purpose OF
assisting the poor OF the parish; the
Institutions founded by lay bodies or
private individuals, and mixed institu'
tlons which are directed by the public
authorities, together with the church
or private individuals. In all OF these
cases there IL a distinction made be-
tween assistance given to those who
ask 1t OF their own will and those who
are ashamed to ask and are sought out.
In an average year the assistance at
the homes Of the INDECENT amounts to
little more than lA,000.000 francs,
Of which 100000 Is in money and tho
rest In provisions, the whole being
distributed among about $4,000 poor.
In this total Of expenditures the part
played by public funds Is 100000
francs, the rest being almost entirely
furnished by the churches, tho private
institutions distributing hardly 100000
francs. The churches distribute more
money than the public institutions.
The poor who do not apply for as
sistance are almost exclusively cared
for either by the churches or private
institutions, as the public officials do
not possess sufficient initiative to seek
out the sufferers. The amount dIstrib-
uted to these ashamed" poor repre-
sents an expenditure Of some 1900, 900
francs, which is divided almost equally
between the private and lay institu-
tions and the churches.
The distribution Of provisions and
fuel reaches the modest total Of 10000
francs distributed among 1900 poor.
The source OF most Of this assistance
is the private institutions, the public
granting but little more than $4,000
francs to 500 poor. The explanation OF
the relatively modest part played by
the government lies In the specification
In the law mentioned above that pub.
lie assistance shall DO granted only
when other agencies are inadequate.
The charitable institutions OF Holland
are public. 3,4O0 supported by the
number about 1900, Of which 1900
church and 450 are private.

This scar which you see on the
back OF my right hand has a history,
and whenever | look at IL drift back

not suppress a feeling that somehow
men are often forced Into channels
which are not exactly what they would

with regrets l feel that this Is true

would heighten the color Of the yarn

this is simply a gamblers story and,

ting into my blood. One night l fell
into game with crowd OF men, all
of them but one strangers to me. The
game had not progressed far before I
became aware Of the fact that l was
playing against two card sharks. Luck
was my way on the last round and
my hand called for the stake. But one
Of the sharpers was bent on getting
my last penny, and he threw down a
better hand than mine and one which
l knew he had faxed. A quarrel be-
gan and reached out for the stake,
covering the money with my right
hand. As did so one Of the shApers
whipped out a long-bladed knife ana
stabbed at my hand. The blade pass
ed through my hand and into the table.
Hand, money and all were pinned to
the table. and until my friends came
to my rescue I was In helpless con-
dition. Ny friend pulled the knife out
and released me. 1 got the stake and
the scar which you see on the back Of
my hand is only part Of the price,
and small part at that, which I made
for It The excitement and novelty Of
the experience intensified the gambling
impulse which had fevsred the blood
and tissue Of my nature, and since that
