their prejudice against SO called patent
medicines and recommend it to their
patients.

Says Dr.. Gee.
DIR. M. c. Gee is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In a letter writ
ten from 513 Jones street, San Fran
cisco, CAL, he says:
Their is a general objection on the
partof the practicing physician toadvo-
cate patent medicines, but when any one
medicine cures hundreds of people, it
demonstrates its WI value and hoes not

"Peruna has performed so many
wonderful cures In San Francisco that

Mrs. E. T. Gaddis, Marion, N. c., is one
OF DIR. Hartman's grateful patients. She
consulted him by letter, followed his
directions, and is now able to say the
following:
Before I commenced to take Peruna

MEGLECTof Bible Reading.-The liv-
Nv ing Word of God is the only thing
that the soul can feed upon. AS surely
as it is fed upon the husks of mans rea-
son, 1t will starve and die. There is aw-
full peril In this our day with it's multi
piled newspapers and magazines and
books.
What man has written is so volumi-
nous that when the daily newspaper and
the magazines are read there is no time
for the reading of Gods Word. How
much time each week do you devote to
newspaper and magazine reading, and
how much to the Bible? Be honest with
yourself, look the question squarely in
the face, and see if you are not treading
the pathway over which Demas walked.
How can the Bible be a Lamp unto
your feet and a Light unto your path
unless you let it shine daily in your
life? How can it "be the power of God
unto salvation" unless you knowi it well
enough to tell out the Gospel story?
How can the Sword of the Spirit, which
is the Word of God, be effectively used
unless you become familiar with it?
Neglect of the Bible will make a Demas
of any Christian.
Forgetfulness of the cleansing power
of Jesus blood. We do forget it. We
unconsciously take our eyes off the
cross OF Christ and SOC get away from
Him. We ought to pray with Paul:
God forbid that l should glory save
IN the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ"
David cries: Restore unto me the JOY
OF Thy salvation" And the same cry
needs to go up from our hearts. We
need daily renewal of the consciousness
OF what God has done for us through
His crucified and risen Son. If we keep
our eyes on Him, we will lever wander
far. We will be nerved to face trial
and danger. Demas had his eyes turned
towards the worlds pleasures and had
lost the vision of his Lord crucifed for
him, and it was not strange that he
could desert Paul in his distress and
seek ease and pleasure instead of the
hardships and prosecutions of the Chris
tan life. Keep your eyes on Jesus!

DISOBEDIENCE to the Spirit
~ "Grieve not the Spirit" God tells
us. HI Spirit operates on the con-
science, like the magnetism of the north
pole acts upon the compass. If the con-
science is tender towards God, the voice
OF the Spirit can be heard whispering:
This is the way; walk We in it." To
disobey that voice is to scar the con-
science, to stile the voice of the Spirit,
and drive Him in grief from the heart.
Demas, long before his final ~forsaking
of Paul, had been rejecting the leading
Of the Spirit. How plainly the ac-
count OF Paul and the spread of the
Gospel. as recorded in the Acts, sets
forth the Importance of the Christian
being filled with the Holy Spirit! The
first question Paul asked on visiting
believers in Christ was, have We re-
ceived the Holy Ghost?
And the work was carried on by
Spirit-flled disciples. That is the rea-
son there were such faithfulness and
mighty results. But Demas, by disobey-
ing the voice and leading of the Spirit,
lost the presence of the Spirit from his
heart. He ceased to strive with him
and off he goes to Thessalonica, leaving
Paul behind in prison. We must obey
God promptly, as He speaks to us by
His Spirit, if we would walk safely.
NJ EGLECT of personal work for
~ Christ will also lead us to the fail
ure of Demas. This last is drill ground
on which is proved the faithfulness Of
our praying, our Bible reading, our real
ization of the saving power of Jesus;
our yielding to the leading of the Spirit.
Here is where the'need of all these con-
ditions are realized and here is where
their efficiency is manifested. Demas,
no doubt. ceased to be the personal
worker for Christ he had been. Per-
haps when he got back to Thessalonica
he observed in a p~erfunctory way his
religious obligations. He mixed
enough religion with his worldly pleas
ures and love of ease to keep up his
standing in the church and community,
but he gave up personal work for Christ.
He went to church, perhaps. He felt
proud that out of his worldly prosper
ity, which came to him at T~hessalonica,
he could give to religious work. But he
had long since ceased to deal with lost
sinners and seek to lead them to Christ.
But, Notwithstanding his share in the
world, its prosperity and pleasures,
down deep in his heart there was un-
rest, and unhappiness. The unhap-
piest person in the world is the Demas
who has forsaken the Lord, whom he
has professed and served, and gone back
to the old life. There Is desperate ef-
fort to forget 1t all. To ease the trou-
bled conscience. To say peace, peace;
but there is no real peace. The unrest
and unhappiness follow to the valley
Of the shadow of death, and the bitter
ness and despair Of asfaithless life rise
specter-like before the dying eyes. and
the soul goes out to meet its God. Let
u3 not attempt to follow. Let us who
read these words. resolve that, God
helping us, we will not join the ranks
Of Demas, but will remain at the side
of the Paul whom God has called US to
labor with, and viii choose hardship,
and trial and persecution, yea, even
death, with Christ, rather than all the
riches and honor and pleasure which
the world can o6eyl

great delight in burnt offerings and sacri-
fees, as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,

The candidacy Of j. B. Sullivan for
governor Of Iowa seems to be giving
some Of the newspapers Of Iowa, on the
republican side, a real pain. The Sioux
City Journal seems to be taking it as
though Sullivan really had a chance to
defeat the two-sided candidate of the re-
publican party, in the gubernatorial
race, and that paper every day has car
toon on Sullivan, and some editorial
criticisms of his candidacy. The repub-
lican pap-sucking editors of Iowa will
be more worried before the campaign is
over. Mr.. Sullivan will give them q
run for their money. He is metal
worthy of Cummins' best steel, at any
stage Of the game. -Ottumwa Democrat

Evidences Of the general prosperity
of the country are still plentiful in New
York, but it is also quite palpable that
less money is now being expended for
luXuries and that there is less useless
extravaganza than in many months. the
course taken by the stock market is I'M
doubtedly the principal cause of this
unusual economy. The wealth of holders
of securities as estimated by the stock
tape has decreased over S1,00O,OOO,0OO
and they feel that they must reduce
their expenditures. Many large jewel
ers are holding orders in allegiance until
the hoped for turn in the market should
come, while all complain that little
money comparatively is being spent for
costly trinkets. Conservatism in OK
penditures seems to be the order Of the
day even among the wealthy, while alb
solute economy is being practiccd by
many erstwhile high livers.

Speaking of the platform adopted by
the recent Iowa republican state con
vention, Congressman Champ Clarl;
makes this observation:
That platform is set, like the Negroes

ton to that remarkable utterance,
Duties that are too low should be in
creased and duties that are too high
should be reduced" u self evident prop
osition. How the Iowa republican
leaders must have laughed in their
sleeves when they perpetrated that
huge joke on the convention and on the
country! How can they look honest
men in the face? AS jugglers they are
entitled to the blue ribbon.

PASSING OF THE TRUST CRAZE,

At no time has the Chronicle inclined
to despair in view of the multiplication
of trusts and their apparently growing
power.
The most of them derive their power
for evil from the tariff, which shelters
them while they ring unearned millions
from the American public. All that is
necessary in order to break their
power for evil is to divcst them of the
power to extort With which congress
has invested them by law.
Aside from this there is a limit, as
the Chronicle showed more than wear
ago, to the magnitude of an undertaking
which can be successfully carried for
ward under a single management. In
dications are multiplying that in more
than one instance the limit has been
passed already. The great steel cor
poration and the great shipping COM
bine may be mentioned especially as
instances.
The recent course of the stock mar
llct goes to show as to combines in gen
cral that the public has lost faith in
their ability, even with the powerful
aid of a monopoly tariff, to extort from
consumers enough to enable them to
make satisfactory dividends on double
the capital of their constituent com
panies.
1t indicates a general perception of
the limitations upon the power of single
combines and general recognition of
the force Of the law Of competition, to
which after all monopoly must bow.
The collapse in industrials probably
marks the end Of implicit faith in the
competence of combines both on the
part of inventors and Spectators who
hoped to profit by the supposed omni-
potence and on the part of those who
were in mortal fear of being consumed
by the trust dragon.
We may fairly expect that saner views
will hereafter prevail. We may look
on the one hand for less clamor for the
lndiscriminent smashing Of great corpo-
rations and on the other for less rj;(;;nr
OF money upon the theory that there is
no end to the ability Of great corpora
ton to declare dividends Chicago

PATRIOTISM AND LOCKJAW.

Apparently the Chicago Tribune has
not completely covered the field in
gathering statistics as to the casual
ties incident to the celebration of the
Fourth of July. A few days ago the
'Tribune's list of dead for the United
States was lib and the list of injured
something more than 5000. But up to
last night forty-onc deaths had occur
red from lockjaw alone in the single
state of Pennsylvania. If the truth
were known Mr.. Henry Watterson's
charge that we kill 800 persons a year
to make holiday would not appear as
a startling cxaggeration.
1t should be obvious to all that the
dangers and the decentralization of the
unrcStraincd celebration OF lndcpend-
cncc day, as now conducted, arc far
too great to be permitted even in the
name OF patriotism. A particularly
pitiablc thing about it all is that most
OF the fatal accidents occur to small
boys, who do not realize the dangers to
which they arc exposed, but simply
employ the means of celebration pro-
vidcd for them by men who make and
sell fireworks. There is Il phase of
criminal negligence OH the part of par
cnts who permit their children to use
the dangerous toy pistol and cannon
cracker. There is certainly painful
lack of civil duty Oh the part of public
officials who do not endeavor to reduce
the number of deaths and accidents
incident to the observance of the Fourth
of July.
Aside from the barbarous, cruel sac
rificc of children and the ruthless
manning of thousands every year the
real spirit of the day is lost in the en-
The chief ambition of those who go in
for the observance Of the holiday is to
make us much noise as possible. Such
indulgence is dcmoraliZing even when
it does not result in death or injury.
! Americans as a race are pretty high
strung. Their nerves arc near the
surface, SO to speak. The busy, exact
ing lives they lead prevents most OF
them from becoming phlegmatic. To
a majority Of them the hideous and
startling noises OF the Fourth of July
arc torture. They look forward with
dread to the celebration, and for days
afterward remember t with Il shudder

proudly call the first nation of the
