The Stomach is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the
man, because it cannot transform
the food he eats into nourish-
ment. Health and strength can
not be restored to any sick man
or weak woman without first re-
storing health and strength to the
stomach. A weak stomach cannot
digest enough food to feed the
tissues and revive the tired and
run down limbs and organs of the
body. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure d.
gests what you eat, cleanses and
strengthens the glands and men,
branes of the stomach, and cures
indigestion, dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles. Sold by Opera

Boston, Mass, Oct. 2S.-Thos.
w. Lawson last night issued a re-
ply to the Standard Oil statement
put out yesterday morning, in
which he says:
"For 40 years the thumb
screws of legislation, the rack of
the courts and the straitjackets of
society have failed to coax, force
or surprise from Standard Oil any
other answer than I'VE will see

fore we will consult them about

During the past live years
Mother Nature has been working
wondrous changes in men and in

of the twentieth, been accomplish
ed by that most potent Of modern

John D. Rockefeller did all the

has done it, and he dictated the
statement that startled the bust

Il am no prophet, and there is
no need l should be to make this
prediction: When history sets
down for unborn generations the
doings Of Standard Oil and the
system it will read: The first in

most cruel machine of the times,
the instrument for plundering the
many for the benefit of the few,

40 years of insolent silence. John

The story of how Countess Cassini
won her present position outranhng
every Ambassadors wife in the corps
reads like a romance.
OF course when she had made her
formal bow 10 society she was included
in the list of invited guests to all White
House functions as any other member
of an Ambassadors family.
The late Lord Pauncefote was Dean
of the Corps. and therefore Lady
Pauncefote and the Hon, Misses
Pauncefote outranked her. The French
Ambassador was also married. and
therefore Madam Cambon, when she

titled TO outrank her. From the Ger

cepted the situation and hided her time.
The diplomatic dinner at the White
House having been abandoned. the fol-
lowing early Summer the Cassinis went
abroad.
Away over in Russia Ambassador
Cassini formally drew up papers of
legal adoption of his young niece, upon
whom the Car thereupon bestowed the
hereditary title of Countess. And in
deciding this honor the Gear and his
Ambassador to America conferred long
and earnestly upon many things.
1t might have been noted that grad
ually one after the other, before the
Summer waned, each of those five Min
listers who had gone to the White
House on their errand of protest
against Countess Cassini, were quietly
eliminated from the Washington land
scape and transferred to far distant
posts. All of which only goes to show,
of course, that when the diplomacy Of
a Car is invoked. the foreign offices

this stand the Countess held tenaciously
to il. 4
1t was during the Mckinley admins
tration, and the vital contest was to be
fought out at the White House dinner
to the Diplomatic Corps. which was
twice postponed and finally abandoned
owing to the illness of Mrs. Mckinley
on the date set for the splendid func-
ton.

lady of the land.
Mrs. Roosevelt. mistress of the White
House, is first. Mrs. Payne whitney.
eldest daughter of the Secretary OF
State, is. in the event of absence or i'll
ness of her mother, the ranking second
lady OF the land. And after her comes
third in line the Secretary's youngest
daughter. another charming young
matron. Mrs. James Madsworth. Jr.
BY this ruling of official etiquette
both daughters Of the Secretary OF
State outrank Miss Alice Roosevelt, as
the latter. being unmarried, holds in
reality no official position other than
that given by courtesy to unmarried
daughters of Cabinet officers.
In the Diplomatic Corps.
In the Diplomatic Corps the ranking
lady is Countess Marguerite de Cas-
sini, daughter of the dean Of the DipIo-
matte Corps. Very enthusiastically,
after having won her battle, the
Countess yields her point on state oc-
casions because she is but three years
nut of her teens and unmarried, and
valves her right in favor Of Madame
Aspiroz. wife of the Ambassador rank
ing next in line TO the dean of the
corps.
But Count Cassini is dean of the
corps, and all Ambassadors must call
on him at the outset of each season.
The Count invariably receives with his
young daughter beside him. So every
matron in the Ambassadorial set must
once a year make formal call upon this
girl Countess.
The Cabinet girls are entitled to stand
in line at any afternoon receptions
which the wife of the President may
care TO hold That is any formal ones.
But Mrs Payne Whitney. and, in her
absence, Mrs. James wadsworth, Jr,
must be asked to stand next to the
first lady of the land az state receptions
and lead the company on the arm of
the President at the State Cabinet din
ners.
The Cabinet Girls.
Miss Wilson. as daughter Of the
widower who holds the portfolio of Sec
rotary Of Agriculture. represents her
father by standing In line in accord
ance with the creation of the office
held by her father. Until the present
Winter she has therefore always stood
at the end of the line. Now that there
has been new Cabinet portfolio added
Mrs. Cortelyou, as wife of the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor. occupies the
last place in the line of the Cabinet
women at state receptions
But, though she stands one ahead OF
Mrs. Cortelyou in the line. Miss Wilson
can never hope for the honor OF stand
ing second lady in the land since i'm
order for that TO come TO pass, every
other Cabinet woman who now outranks
her would either have 10 be incapacitat-
ed by illness or be absent from the city
This would be rendered an ever

that in the event of the illness or alb
sence of Mrs. Hitchcock the latter
would be represented by on Of her twS
daughters. and Miss Knox would come
