OF the STOMACH,
A Remedy Has Been Discovered and

Study Which Will Positively
Cure Catarrh of the Stomach
Even in Its Worst

There is probably 10 disorder in the list
OF stomach ailments SO prevalent as Ca
tarrh of the Stomach. This disease is
often caused by an irrational mode of liv-
ing. fast eating. resulting in imperfect
mastication Of the food: overlooking the
stomach with too large quantities Of
rich or highly spiced dishes; ice-cold or
strong alcoholic drinks: the abuse of to-
bacco. especially chewing, all tend to irri-
tate the stomach and to cause catarrhal
condition Of the digestive organs.
Even people of regular habits may de-
velop gastric catarrh. An unhealthy con-
teeth. is liable to produce the disease. be-
cause the food cannot be chewed thor
oughly and becomes our. AS a rule the
disease develops slowly, the appetite be-
comes variable. a sensation of fullness
after meals. palpitation of the heart and
shortness of breath is experienced; also a
burning sensation at the pit of the stom-
ach. bad taste in the mouth and vomiting
or nausea after morning meal. There is
considerable headache, a heavy feeling in
the limbs, with little inclination for work,
and the mental faculties are sluggish or

senate, the old governor concludes
that Brokenstraw ranch is the best
spot on earth for him and retires to
spend his remaining years there. But
he continues to keep a keen eye on
politics. Back in the old district a
young protege, Ned, is at the begin
ming of a political career and the book
has been given in the form of a series
the governor out of the wealth of his
experience to his young friend.
Like Lincoln, Governor Bradley is
constantly reminded of a story. The
political maxiIns and epigrams and
warnings are driven home with a
series of stories, so full of humor and
life and revelation that the general
reader is loath to lay the book down
and the politician is simply fascinated.
These stories relate actual expert
ences of real men. There has been an
attempt to disguise the identity of
these men, but it is evident from the
start that the old governor is really
tattling and knows whereof he speaks.
In the opening chapter with the in
teresting caption, "Still Hunts and
Stolen Marches it would seem that
wider constituency than his friend
Ned who has written that he has a
cfnch on reelection to the legislature,
and proposes to take it easy in this
campaign.
The governor says that he is glad
of his prospects, but my observation
reminds me that straight roads to the
state house have an amazing way of
wandering off in the underbrush and
that public sentiment can blow more
different ways, at one and the same
time, than the flame Of a campaign
torch in a fall wind. Any good aver
age ballot box has thrown down more
cock-sure men than ever won election
bets or saw the man that struck Billy
Patterson. And you may draw sight
drafts against the fact that when
there's a whole lot depending on one
of these heaven insured certainties it's
time to get scared and hustle
1.-The man who lies down and goes
to sleep on the soft side of a political
cinch stands a good chance of waking
up just in time to see his hide nailed
to the barn door by the fellow who
couldn't sleep because he had to whis-
tie in the face of expected defeat in
order to keep his courage up"
This is practical, political doctrine
which many politicians could well
take to heart.
Then comes the inevitable story to
illustrate this point, bit of we'll told,
realistic and humorous political ex-
In subsequent chapter he says:
After you've shot your rocket, don't
play fifth the stick Start something
new Even the importunate widow
of the parable had the god grace to
let up after she'd landed what she
was after. And it's mighty risky for
politicians to rush in where widows
fear to tread"
The fact that John T. McCutcheon
is the illustrator adds interest to the
book Mr.. McCutcheon has become
famous through his cartoons in the
Chicago Tribune and his own books
of cartoons; in fact, he is one of the
most popular delineators of political
life in America. In "TattHngs- of
Retired Politician" he enters the field
of pure illustration and his So full
pages will be hailed with delight.

WILLIAM CowPER's LETTERS.
Correspondence of Poet to Be Printed
in America.


in America.
In the early autumn Dodd, Mead and
company will issue THE Correspon-
dence of William Cowper'' arranged in
chronological order, with annotations
by Thomas Wright author of The
Life of William COwper."
More than a hundred years have
elapsed since the death of William
Cowper and only now has the greatest
of English letter-Writers received the
tardy nOnor of a scholarly and exhauS-
tive edition. If the tribute has been
long deferred, it has now at least been
fully paid. Every admirer of CoWper
will rejoice that to Mr.. Thomas Wright,
whose devotion to all that pertains to
the life and writings of the poet is IA
miliar knowledge to every scholar, has
now fallen the honor of preparing the
standard edition Of one of the most de-
Hghtful books in the language.
Mr.. Gosse has happily characterized
the letters of Cowper as ''incomparably
witty, tender and graceful No single
letter, out of the one thousand and
fOrty-One which Mr., Wright for the
first time has brought together unmuti
lated and in proper sequence, was writ
ten with a thought of publication. Hence
their abiding charm, and their fasci-
mating revelation of every facet of the
poets character. The letters in them
selves are a. complete biography. No
poet was ever better loved by his
friends than Cowper, and in his letters
to them he unburdens himself with the
most engaging and delightful candour.
Many of the letters reflect the under
lying sadness of the poets life; but it
is safe to say the book contains at least
five hundred of the wittiest letters in
our litera ture.
The previous editions of Hayley,
Grimshawe, and Soutney are incom-
plete and confused to a degree. AS the
result of ten years research, Mr..
Wright presents US now with an ac-
curate text and no fewer than two
hundred and thirty-seven letters which,
In whole or in part, are new. Every
allusion has received careful annexation
and where it is conducive to clearness,
Mr.. Wright has interpolated between
the letters the briefest biographical
facts.

by Forrest Crfssey is the title of a
book just issued from the press of

his stories and anecdotes he cuts
close to the BONE and beneath a
thinly disguised identity he reveals

with the lid off, in fascinating detail.
A politician who has worked his
way up to the United States senate,
serving SUCCESSFULLY in the state leg

governor, naturally knows something
of what has been going on in the
country. Such man is William
Bradley, the sturdy old politician of

and tie them to the bedpost a good
many times to do it.

between the two old enemies wou d
mean that France must enter the field
as an ally of Russia, against Great
Britain and Japan. In view of her re

her old neighbor and enemy England,
France is probably not half so much
delighted with her Russian alliance as
on the day. only few years ago, when
Paris literally went wild to do honors
to the Car and celebrate the accom-

to have shown that France made a bad
bargain.
