Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
given to the subject. IL is easier and
better TO prevent than to cure. II
has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most dangerous
diseases that medical men have. To
contend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Pneumonia always results from a cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip)
and il has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency of
these diseases toward pneumonia
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this rem
edy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm.
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no dan
ger is apprehended until IL is sudden
ly discovered that there is fever and
difficulty in breathing and pains in the
chest, then IL is announced that the
patient has pneumonia. BE on the
safe side and take Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted II always cures. For

Thomas Huxley II was, who described
the brain as perfect logic engine, work
ing without friction. without fret and
without fear, with the strain equally
divided. "The question then becomes"
says DR.. Pierce, "how to run this engine
without blowing up the boiler, without
accident, and without sending the loco
motive 10 the repair shop. An ignorant
man cannot run an engine; neither can
a man over-work his brain unless he
observes certain laws of health without
meeting with some disaster" If the
engine is properly oiled and cared for it
will last great many years, and in the
same way if the human mechanism is
properly looked after it will last the
allotted three score and ten years AS
civilization progresses, the draft on the
brain and nerves increases, but no class
OF work burns up blood as fast as brain
work. Hard work confined to shop or
Office, without the invigorating air and
sunshine becomes the pace that kills
the muscles and flesh become flabby and
the blood watery. The human system
must be a laboratory for the constant
manufacture of rich, red blood. Success
and courage depend upon the blood and
the blood depends upon the stomach,
for the stomach, when healthy, takes
up from the food We eat the elements
required for the blood. If the stomach
cannot assimilate the food taken up,
then the blood and the nerves starve for
the proper nourishment they require.
This human machine soon breaks down,
like the engine without coal for its boil
ers, because the heart, liver and lungs
do not receive the pure blood neces-
sarY to keep them strong and active.

RULES OF HEALTH.


Remember this, that our bodies will
not stand the strain of over-work with
out good, pure blood any more than the
engine can run smoothly without oil -
After many years of study in the active
practice of medicine, DR.. K. V. Pierce
found that when the stomach was out of
order, the blood impure and there were
symptoms of general break down, a
tonic made Of the Alternative extracts of
certain herbs and roots was the best cor
receive. This he called: Dr. Pierce 5
Golden Medical Discovery. For over a
third OF century this tonic and altera-
tive has been more largely sold than any
other blood medicine OF nerve tonic.
Being made without alcohol, this Med
ical Discovery" does not shrink uD the
red blood corpuscles, but on the other
hand II increases their number, and they
become round and healthy. II helps
the stomach to assimilate or take up the
proper elements from the food, thereby
helping digestion and curing dyspepsia,
heartburn, and many uncomfortable
symptoms, such as heart palpitation due
TO gas formed in the stomach. II is
especially adapted in diseases attended
with excessive tissue waste, especially in
convalescence from the various spring
fevers, whether of malarial or typhoid
character AS tonic and reconstructive

BRYAN'S ATTITUDE.
To Hasten Time For the Triumph
of Democratic Principles by Sup
port of Parker,

Persistent reports are being circu-
lated both East and West that Colonel
William ]. Bryan will not support the
Democratic nominees in the coming
Presidential election. The latest of
these reports is attributed to Chan
cel;or Z. Benjamin Andrews, of Ne
braska University.
AT the present time" Chancellor
Andrews is quoted as saying, there is
every chance that Roosevelt will secure
the electoral vote of Nebra ska, that
the Republican State ticket will be
elected, and that the Fusion element
will dominate the Legislature and elect
w. ]. Bryan next Senator from that
State"
In complete refutation of the sugges-
ton quoted above, one has only to read
Colonel Bryan's attitude to the Ma
tional ticket as set forth in q ringing
speech delivered by him in Missouri
in the early part of the campaign, in
which he urged all Democrats to sup
port the ticket faithfully. In the
course of this speech, Colonel Bryan
said:
4 believe in the triumph of every
righteous principle and have such
faith in the rightness of our cause that
I am not afraid that any policy in
which we have confidence can be de-
feated by the election of Democratic
President. even though he may not
agree with us on all questions. If he
will help us remove the issues which
now distract attention and prevent n
consideration of economic questions,
we can await the time when the peonle
can again give their attention to the
industrial situation. You can hasten
the coming Of this time by your sup
port Of the Democratic ticket"

marty wanted TO do! The Justice. we
dare say. would draw Himself up IL any
suggestion We're made to him that he

Ion. would reduce him to impotence"

EOuSES SUSPICION.
Everlasting Habit Of Republicans of
Grasping Creuit For All Good.

Claiming all virtues for the Repub-
lican party, and telling what 1--WE"
have done does not stop criticism, but,
rather. tends to arouse suspicion that
the charges made against Republican
policies and practice cannot be dis
proved. That the tarifr-fostered trusts
are plunderlng the people by greatly
Increasing the cost of living is too pat
ent for n bold denial to count with a
voter, who is paying from thirty to
forty per cent. more for necessarles OF
living than in 1897.
Claiming that wages have been ad-
vanced Mt the same ratio as the cost
of living will not convince the work
man that has had his wages reduced
that prosperity is rampant, although
Roosevelt may boast and Fairbanks
smilingly may say so.
Standing pat may suit the trusts. but
claiming that everything is SO IA
vorable under Republican policies that
no change Is needed is poor consolation
for those who find themselves being
plundered by the trusts. with their In
come standing still SO that their abil-
ity to pay has decreased one-thlrd. II
Is easy TO claim. but difficult to eX-
plain when the facts are against you.

MARRYING IN THE ARMY.
Class Distinction 10 10 Fos.ered by
CorLin's Proposition.

General Corbln's idea that army life
should be governed as social and ar
istocratic organism was probably I'M
bibed in Germany, where the General
appeared on dre-s parade a year or so
ago as guest of the Kaiser. That his
idea has the cordial appreciation of
President Roosevelt, there can be little
doubt. For it is at least minor step
in the Presidents grand march toward
full-fedged imperialism"
In brief. General Corbin proposes
that no officer In the army shall marry
without the authority OF the Secretary
OF War. and not then unless he can
prove to the satisfaction OF the Secre-
tary. that his income will be sufficient
TO support himself and his family. Such
rule prevails in Germany. with the
result that lot of rich. and in many
cases. silly girls. have been brought in
TO army circles: class distinction has
been fostered and army officers there
have become indolent, insolent and
profiicate.

ATTEMPT TO JUSTIFY
President Roosevelcs Pension Order
by Commissioner Ware.

Commissioner of Pensions r. F.
Ware undertakes to Justify President
Rooseveifs action in the matter of
the age limit pension order, which is
declared to have been unconstitutional
by the Parker Constitutional Club of
New York and in contravention of Sec
tion of Article l., which reads as
follows:
"NO money shall be drawn from the
Treasury, but in consequence of appro-
priations made by law"
In the course of his argument In de-
fense of the Presidents action, Mr..
Ware says:
THE passage of the appropriation
bill recognizing the validity of the
order and voting the money to carry it
out ended the considerat ton of the rem
edies proposed"
That settles it, according to the
reasoning of Mr.. Ware, but the fact
remains that It was an action which he
should not have presumtd to take un-
der the power of making regulations
for carrying into effect the statute of
Congress. Congress had right to en-
act that the attainment of certain
age created presumption of inability.
1t was besOught to do it and it refused.
1t has been besought to do it at every
session since the disability act was
passed, and it has not done it. The
proper discretion of the Executive in
making regulations was limited to car
rying out the law as enacted, and did
not include regulation relieving the
applicant from the operat ton of the law
which required that actual disability
should be established by proof. Ac-
cording to the Eew regulation, disabii-
ity needs not to be proved, but must
be assumed on an age basis, precisely
what Congress has never sanctioned.

HIT A SORE spoT.
Determination Against Home Buyers
ami FavOrlny Foreigners.

The Democratic charge that the
American people are paying higher
prices for articles Of domestic manu-
facture than are paid by foreigners for
identical articles exported from the
United States has hit the G. o. p. in
a sore spot. This subject Is gone into
very thoroughly In the Democratic
Campaign book, where 1t Is shown that
Americans are compelled to pay from
ten to thirty per cent. more for articles
made in this country by protected"
mr nufacturers. than is paid by Euro
peans and Asiatics for identical,y the
same articles made here and shipDed
abroad. Many instances of such dis
elimination against our home people
are cited, particularly in the lines Of
agricultural implements and builders
hardware.
To break the force of this charge the
State Department prints string of
statements made by American Con-
suls in European countries, in which
1t is alleged that manufacturers in
England and Germany also sell manu-
factured articles abroad cheaper than
they Go Mt home. 1t Is plain that these
statements were put forth under orders
from the Administration. and that little
care was taken to have them accurate.
But even IL 1t be true that European II
manufacturers sell their surplus odds
and ends" abroad at reduced prices,
ms one Consul says they co. of what
interest is that to the average Amerl-
can who Is held up by our protect
ed" manufacturers ard compelled to
nay. not for "odds and ends" but for
his farming tools and implements. his
engines and machinery. and scores of
other articles, from ten to thirty Der
cent. more than his European brother
has TO pay TO the same manufacturer
for like articles?
The American people are not COM
nlalning because manufacturers ship
their "odds and ends to foreign coun-
tries and sell them Mt low prices. Their
complaint Is that they are discriminat-
ed against in favor of the foreigner:
that they are being robbed right and
left by manufacturers who shield
themselves behind the Dingley tariff.
