MILLIONAlhE'S POOR STOM-
ACH.

The WOrn-OUt stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often pdraded in
the public prints as a horrible ex-
ample of the evils attendant on the
possession Of great wealth. But mill
lionaires are not the only ones who
are afflicted with bad stomachs. The
proportion is far greater among the
toilers. Dyspepsia and indigestion
are rampant among these people, and
they suffer far worse tortures than
the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of a standard medicine
like Green's August Flower, which
has been a favorlte household remedy
for all stomach troubles for over
thirty-fve years. August Flower
rouses the torpid liver, thus creating
appetite and insuring perfect diges-
ton. It tenes andsvitalizes the en-.
tire system and makes life worth liv.

TREE THAT LIVED OVER
TWENTY CENTURIES.

Congress has of late years concern
ed itself with the preservation of
forests and other works of nature
against the steady inroads of mater
ial progress and commercial vandal-
ism. In this line, the pending bill
to prevent the destruction of the few
remaining giant redwoods of Cali
fornia by lumbermen is interesting.
These Titans of the forest are we'll
worth the respect of eve our mod
ern commercialism. One fine sPeci-
men recently felled on the Pacific
slope was pronounced by scientists
to be 2,171 years old, and yet it was
perfectly sound and had for unknown
centuries held its proud head TO the
blasts at a height Of 800 feet above
the ground.
According to what science read
ON its PROSTATE trunk, this monster
tree began its existence in 271 B. G.
In 245 A. D.. it passed through a
! great fire, and 1O5 years were con-
sumed in healing the burn.
For 1,196 years the great tree grew
peacefully. No man may tell what
happened beneath its mighty limbs.
Nations were born and died while
the Sequoia drank the rains and
breathed sunshine and added slowly
to its stature.
| In 1441 there was another fire and
| 139 years were required to hide the
scars. In 1880 came another burn,
which was healed in Sc years. In
1897, when the giant had passed the
age of twenty centuries, there came
a tremendous forest fire, burning a
scar Is feet wide. When the tree
was felled in 1900 the width of the
scar had been decreased TO IA feet.
In each of the three O der burns the
wounds were fully covered, and the
new tissue above was even and con-
tinuous.
Surely such a record were enough
to give pigmy man pause in his VAN
dalism and set him to moralizing
from the open book of nature. A
living thing SO venerable has the
right to continued lie, and it's de-
struction seems worse than sacrIlege
in natures temple.
The idea may be sentimental, but
ublic sentiment approves of the
preservation of the California red
woods.
