IF YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHAT AUS YOU
the U. s. mail will bring you the best medical
advice for only the cost Of writing

Many people owe their present good
health to the fact that they consulted DR..
Pierce by letter, giving him all possible in
formation about their condition, symptoms,
etc, and received in return good medical
advice uhich COST them nothing. Write to
DR.. X. v. Pierce, founder of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.
DR.. Pierce by no means confines himself
to prescribing his well-known medicines.
He tells you in the most cominon-sense
way what ails you, what you ought to do,
what line of treatment should be followed
out in your particular case, and if your case
does not indicate the need for this proprie-
tary medicine, he tells you plainly and
frankly Whdf you do need, and the best
possible method of improving your health.
DR.. Pierce treats many chronic cases at a
distance, through the mail and all you have
to do is to write him your symptoms.

Minnesota Forests Disappearing at q Rate
Which Means Extinction in Fifteen Years.
The great pine forest in the North
west has vanished under the axe OF
the lumberman. according to report
just made public by the Forest Fire
Warden of Minnesota. The region
covered the Saginaw and Huron Shore
districts of Michigan. In 1898 there
was cut in that district S5S,OOO,OOO
feet OF pine. During the next ten
years the axe wrought such havoc that
in 1908 only 52,OOO,OOO feet were cut.
The virgin forests of the Northwest
are being destroyed at a rapid rate.
In Minnesota, this last year, 100000
feet Of pine logs were cut. As much
more was taken from the districts OF
Duluth, Minneapolis and above, and
st. Croix. Thee e now remaining in
Minnesota only ZS,OOO,OOO,OOO feet of
standing pine.
In fourteen years, at the present
rate, it will all be gone. The standing
timbers of all kinds in the forest of
the State is now estimated to be worth
$1OO,OOO,OO0. In years gone by the
State has received $1,000 900 for the
timber from its own land.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Secretary Shaw, with astounding
frankness, acknowledges that many
millions of dollars worth of American
manufactures are sold in Europe
cheaper than they are sold to Ameri.
can consumers here at home. Is this
disgraceiul state of things to continue
forever?
Josiah Quincy, ex.Mayor of Boston,
publicly announces that he thinks
Massachusetts, will elect Democratic
Governor. Undoubtedly the tide is
turning in that direction, thanks to
Senator Lodge and his opposition to
reciprocity with Canada.
Judge Parker has been revising the
Democratic campaign book, the first
edition of 10000 of which will soon
come from the press. Some disap-
pointment has been manifested over
the Judges decision that he will not
take the stump in his own behalf. He
will give an extended summary OF his
political views in his letter of accept.
ance.
American manufacturers are ex.
porting their goods to the ends Of the
earth at the rate of nearly $500, ,0OO,- :
600 year. The question before the
people is why these hoary-headed mo-
nopolies need to be forever coddled
and pampered on fifty per cent. tariff
pap. to project them from competitors
who they are underselling in the mar
kets of the world. That's the ques-
ton, brethren read it over again and
solve the puzzle if you can.
Republicans in Indiana are lying in
ambush for Bryan and declare that
they will make it hot for him when he
mounts the Hoosier stump. This
temperature is to be caused, they
think, by asking him questions about
silver, and Parker and the Comnaoner.
These expectations are evidently en-
tertained only by yokels who have
never seen Billy Bryan on his feet in
the presence of an audience.

CHARMING CANDOR!
THE REASON WHY THE ENEMY
is DiSGRUNTLED.

The Party Has no Hanna to Issue an "Emers-
ency Calr'-The Workers are Disappointed
Over the Prospect Of Empty Pockets-Pre-
sentiment Is Apparent and Revenge I'm
minent-And CortsIyou and Roosevelt are
Too Honest to Use a Campaign Fund if
They Had It!
In referring to the Presidential
campaigns of 1896 and 1900 the Re-
publican organs are becoming wonder
fully candid these days. For instance,
in recent issue of Harper's Weekly, it
is said:
"Our present. practical diagnosis of
the situation is that the chief danger
to the Republican ticket lies in the
big campaign funds utilized success
fully by Mr.. Hanna in 1896 and 1900.
Each year more than five millions of
dollars we're raised and expended. A
good many OF these dollars went, of
course. for literature, clerical and ora
tOrical expenses, etc., but a very fair
percentage must have gone to "work-
ers." There is no such direct vote
buying nowadays as there was when
Indiana was split up into blocks OF
five, but there is no doubt that many,
many thousands of tried and true
citizens, who incidentally have the
privilege of voting, were paid pretty
literally for the time they gave to the
service of the Republican manage
ment in 1896 and 1900. Now every
politician is awake to the danger of
suddenly Withdrawing rations prev
iously supplied to the class of mer-
cenaries. Resentment but mildly ex-
presses their sentiment; revenge takes
possession OF their hearts, and is sup
plemented by a very practical de-
termination to "teach 'em a lesson"
How large the class is. this year, can
not be estimated with accuracy by one
not in possession of the private records
of the recent campaigns, but it is
pretty big and it is confined within
the borders of States where every vote
counts. There are two reasons why
we consider that in this condition lies
the chief menace to Republican pros
poets. One is that there exists no
common peril making possible the
raising OF so great a fund, and the
other is that Mr.. Cortelyou would not
know what to do with it if he had it.
Moreover, we do honestly believe that
both he and his chief would rather be
beaten than profit by unworthy agen-
cies. So there you are"
What charming candor is manifest.
ed in this "practical diagnosis of the
situation" as our eminent contempor-
ary calls it! What a reckless aban-
donment OF all consequences of ac.
knowledged guilt is shown by this
whited sepulchre under the evident
plea that the end justified the means!
Then how audacious the assurance
that Mr.. Cortelyou would not know
what to do with campaign sugar." and
that Roosevelt would rather be beaten
than to profit by such unworthy
agencies" admittedly used in former
campaigns OF that party!

Rarest Bird in the World.

A certain kind Of pheasant found
in the mountains between Anam and
Loas is said to be the rarest bird in
existence. For a long time its ex-
i.tence was known only by the fact
that its longest and most splendid
plume was much sought after by the
mandarins for their headgear. A
single skin is worth $500, and if the
bird would live in captivity its value
would be fabulous.

when he said, "That the happiness OF

From time to time, during the past
few weeks, there have been vague ru-
mors of a wonderful submarine boat
which was being built for Russia in
the United States. 1t seems, after all,
that there is something in it. 1t is
now definitely stated that the vessel,
which is called the Protector" has
been shipped on board Scandinavian
tramp steamer at New York. Much
secrecy WAS maintained as to her des.
tination, and it was given out that she
was bound for a port in England.
This was mere blind. however. and it
seems to be beyond doubt that she is
destined for Russia. 1t is uncertain
whether the steamer with the sub.
marine boat will attempt to reach
Vladivostok or will made for Cron.

How to Hear Plants Grow.

Two Germans have discovered a
method by which they can hear plants
grow. In the apparatus the growing
plant is connected with disk, having
in its center an indicator which moves
visibly and regularly, and this on a
scale fifty times magnified denotes
the progress in growth. Both disk
and indicator are metal, and when
brought in contact with an electric
hammer, the electric current being
interrupted at each OF the divided
interstices Of the disk. the growth Of
the plant is as perceptible to the ear
as to the eye.

GERMAN OFFICERS AS "SPIES."

What Is Expected When They Spend Vacations
in Foreign Countries.
ellison willets' Berlin Letter in Leslie's Weekly.
How many know that every Ger.
man naval officer who is ostensibly
taking holiday in the United States
is in reality spy? That is the plain
English word that best fits the case,
though, of course, even the Germans
do not call their officers in foreign
countries by that same name. The
reason is that the German naval officer
is never off duty. When on "visits"
to Fort Wadsworth and to our coun.
try. he is expected to 60 to foreign
countries, where he must endeavor to
visit arsenals, inspect battleships, and
acquire a. much information as posi-
BILE, backed up by rough maps and
sketches, all of which he sends to the
German admiralty. Hence, when. q
German naval officer visits" the
United States, his navy yards and the
shipyards are not entirely disinterested.
Every officer in the German navy is
taught to sketch from memory, and,
according to his skill in drawing, he is
marked out for promotion. When the
German training ship Charlotte, with
the crown prince aboard, "visits" the
United States, as she will in month
or two, on her cruise around the world,
certain it is that the officers will 60
ashore and make memory sketches"
which will after ward be made into
maps. Thus, should Germany ever be
at war with the United States, the fact
that we have Hospitality afforded op.
portunitiee for sketching our. fortified
positions will prove of immense advan.
tage-to the Germans. For every
German experience in such matters is
recorded, as have said, for future use,
and thus holiday" experiences are
utilized for checking, correcting and
enlarging German naval maps and
charts of places not only in the United
States, but also in all parts Of the
world. Turning to the German army,
the same "memory sketching" and
the same making OF maps are expected
of all officers "off duty" particularly
in the United States and England.

four, native of Stanford, KY, and the
wife of the millionaire vice President of

AN UP-T0-DATE CHANGE.

Geo. A. Crosdale will, September
move his restaurant to the handsome
new Elks' building, and will conduct
an up to-date establishment, known al
the Elks Cafe. He will occupy all OF
the down floor (save the back room) and
two rooms on the second floor.
The rear room will be occupied by
that popular dispenser of liquids, Mr..
Harry James. who will spare no money
to make his bar the very best Paris has
ever had. Orderly parties can be sup
piled with anything in his line at the
tables on application.
The front corner room will be for
ladies and gentlemen, and the rear
room for gentlemen only, which has a
side entrance next to the bar, or can be
entered through the front hall, near the
elevator.
1t has always been the aim and pur-
pose of Mr.. Crosdale to conduct as
nearly as possible strictly first class
place, as his contemplated change would
indicate. He caters only to thorough
ly respectable trade and no rowdyism or
ungentlemanly conduct is countenenced
for moment. He has been hampered
in his efforts and desires in the general
lack Of proper convenience, and the
scarcity of competent help, 1t being al
most impossible during the summer
months TO secure any servants at all.
He hopes to remedy these difficulties
and defects in q great measure and
make his place more and more accept
able to the public as time goes on.
There will be a few changes in the
rules and regulations of the place as
follows:
The lunch room will be omitted;
board, 81 per week straight; regular
meals, so cents; aud q new bill of fare
so classified as to enable those who pre-
fer to make special order to do so at a
nominal cost.
A speciality will be made of table de
hote O'Clock dinners on Sunday even
ings.
We have made the sch ,dule of prices.
both as pertains TO the regular meals
and the bill of fare as moderate and
reasonable as the markets and expenses
of the hosiery will permit and justify.
We will aim to always give the people
the full equivalent Of their money, but
it should be sensibly considered that
they must not expect necessarily to go
into we'll appointed, we'll regulated
and we'll kept expensive place and get
things for the same money that they
might obtain them in some more hum
BILE and obscure quarters.
Goods are goods with many people
and ssores are stores, no discrimination
being made as to quality, classification
or the character and ability of the
parties canduc,ing the same.
To be brief and to the point: II the
citizens of Paris and the best country
people, want an inviting, up-to- date, re-
fined eating establishment, there is
only one way to encourage the same,
and that is by liberal support"
Terms will be spot cash, with abso-
lutely no credit, as we will keep no
books whatever. Thanking our many
friends who have SO generously patro-
nized rs in the past, and soliciting a
continuance of their trade and others In
the future, we remain, most humbly,
