Trinmnhs off Modcrn surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely bones are spliced pipes take tt
place of diseased sections of veins; anti
septic dressings are applied TO wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries before
Inflammation sets in, which causes them
to heal without maturati0n and in one
third the time required by the old treat
ment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. 1t is an antiseptic
and when applied tosuch injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t a'so
allays the pain and soreness. Keep a
bottle Of Pain Balm in your home and
it will save you time ana money, not to
mention the inconvenience and suffering
which such injuries entail. For sale by

Pension Crop in Doubtful States.

There Is considerable comment just now
touching the alleged use OF pension funds by
the administration for political purposes,
The order under fire, known generally as
order No. 70, was issued in the spring of this
year at the instance OF President Roosevelt.
the versatile President therein playing the
role OF legislator.
1t provides that 'eyery Federal veteran e.
years OF age shall be entitled to n pension Of
Sc a month G5 years of age IS; GS years OF age
$40, and 20 years OF age 81 q month. the age
limit to be accepted as sufficient evidence of
disability" This Is termed "a service PEN
sion."
Some canting Democrats, especially here
amongst the Philistines where mama does
not fall in heaps, are uncharitable enough to
say that the funds arising from this order
are being used for the political persuasion of
veterans in the doubtful States"
1t Is said that the claims of widows. with
hords OF dependent orphans of all ages and
conditions, are being held up while those Of
the ballot welding veteran are "privileged"
and receive immediate consideration.
It is, OF course, uncharitabl Bile 10 suppose that
the Republicans would, if they could, Use this
fund for political purposes, and 1t is still
more uncharitable TO suppose that the ad-
ministration had this object IN view In pass
Ing the order in an election year. II Is a
mere coincidence with no significance. but 1t
has un% fortunately put the administration to
some trouble in explaining certain alleged
rush orders as TO pensions of this character In
doubtful States.
Dapon . q n - n hnrn II Iol-ar ~ q, Thnu
object to feeding trusts at the government
table they want 10 withdraw their protec-
ton from "intant industries" scarcely gray
with age, and they think SGG0. 900, 900 expended
in taking and retaining our Island possessions
downright extravaganza. They have always
condemned the Republicans for levying trib-
ute on Wall Street for campaign purposes;
and now they have the hardihood to say that
the Republicans should not use Uncle Sans
treasury TO further their interests In doubt
full States. There have been family quarrels
In these doubtful States, and who will say
thai 1t is wrong to try TO bring about a recon-
Citation.
Democrats haye ANTICIPATED notions of cleo
ton methods, and hence they can not fully
appreciate the importance OF unity and
brotherly love in the opposing party. They
do not realize the good that will follow the
distribution Of this money amongst grateful
pensioners in sections where 1t is most need
ed. Surely they would not stay the admins
tration in such an act Of benevolence or deny
the pensioner the opportunity of remember
ing the kindn ess in his own humble way. 1t
is only a little remembrance direct from the
President to his friends, and we should not
restrict him In the selection of those friends.

A Cure For Laziness.
BY ROBERT

The longer I live the more I see of
suffering and complaining humanity,
the more I wish that I could persuade
everyone to follow the three-quarters
of an hour a day system of physical
exercises. Where the best doctors
fail these exercises will succeed, If they
are persisted IN. But the curse of laz-
mess, which makes 20 many thousand
of peevish invalids, must be combated.
| Will power must be used. Regularity
must be observed. The task must be
a daily one, and to doit will requie res
olution.
Another mistake people fall into is,
weak persons-especially weak wo-
men-cannot attempt the exercises;
that before you begin them at all you
must be fairly strong. This Is all non.

necessary is it for you to begin the
! physical culture without delay. II
you feel languid and inclined to be In
cessantly on the sofa {; If your back
bends like q reed in the wind, and you

disastrous effect upon the mind and
temper-can be entirely done away

The cult of completely has them In

dumb-bells, an "~exerciser," one or two
weights, these things are too cheap and

innumerable and superbly healthy exer
cises one can do without any appliance
at all in ones bedroom at night and
morning- they of course are for school,
