Read what her husband says:
About four years ago my wife
began falling in health, caused
by stomach trouble. She first
lost her appetite and then grad

able to do any work at all. She
suffered q great deal with pain
in her stomach and at times
would go for days without eat

kinds of medicine and doctored
with the best doctors in town,
but got no better. About one
month ago a friend at Ingleside
advised her to take Hobart's
Vin-Seng Tonic. She began tax
ing it, and in a few days she
began to get better. Her appe-

Physical Effects of septim.nt.

It has recently been discovered by Pro- lessor Elmer Gates that unpleasant emo- tons create harmful chemical products Ill the body, which are physically injuri- ous. Good, benevolent. cheerful feelings are said to create beneficial chemical pro- ducts. which are physically healthfuI These products, 1t is declared. may be de- tected by chemical analysis in the pers- pIratior of the individual. Professor Gates says he found more than forty O. the bad products and as many of the good Every one knows that grief will poison mothers milk; in fact, it gener- ates an injurious quality so intense in character as to sicken an infant.
 Of all the chemical products of emotion that of guilt is said to be the worst.

The British Income Tax.

Sydney Brooks, in Harper's Weekly.
 The income tax was introduced into England by William Pitt-who other wise had his points-iu 1799 under the stress of the Branch war. It ceased in 1916. but was revived by the dastardly Sir Robert Peel in 1s42, and extended by the iniquitous Gladstone in 1853. From being temporary war-tax 1t has now become a permanent part of tho British financial system, and Is resorted to by every Chancellor who finds him. self in difficulties. It is not such an inquisitorial tax as you would think, as over half-I have seen 1t stated two- thirds--of the amount collected is not assessed directly on the ultimate pay CTS. but at the source of origin. I own stock. let us say, in a railroad and in- dustrial company. The income tax Is assessed on and collected from the rail. way company in one sum. and the bur den of 1t distributed among the stock holders in proportion to their hold ings. My dividends, that is. reach me Tess income tax" In this way eva sion is made extremely difficult, the productivity of the tax is largely in- creased, and it's incidence Is deprived of that personal element and that direct contact between the individual and the tax-collecting agency which are usually responsible for the unpopularity of im- posts. On the whole, 1t is probably true to say that in no other way can the wealth derived from property and in- yestments be so adequately, so regu- larly, and so equally laid under contrf- button.

Gowns for Street Wear.

5 todZdIs
 Colored linens are very fashionable this year. They are made in blouse
 waists and skirts, and In the most fam tastic little jackets with skirts to match--to be worn over the thinnest of waists of muslin or batiste or lace; or so arranged that they can be worn with what used to be known as chem isettes of lace or muslin or batiste. All skirts for this style of gown should be made short. no matter what the ma terial may be.
 Dark muslins are really the most suitable for street wear, as the light muslins look shabby and become soiled so quickly. However, there are shades of gray that are charmIngly dainty. proving the exception to tho rule. and some in light tan; but as rule the dark coiors are infinitely smarter, and they should not be trimmed with white lace-that is, on fthe skirts. A sensi- ble fashion of this year is that of mak- ing skirts that require no trimming ex- cepting the material itself, the cord ings, shirrings, tucks and pleats giv- ing all the contrast needed. White lace in collars and cuffs Is always effective and becoming, and these can be taken out, laundered, and replaced; but white lace or embroidery on skirts soon be- comes soiled and loses its freshness. and then the whole gown Is shabby.

There is such a thing as getting the shoe on the wrong foot and that might happen in Boston or any other city where the bakers go on a strike, if the people were as independent as American citi- zens ought to be. If. in such case, the people, rich and poor, would at once fix themselves for cooking their own bread and all resolve to buy no more bakers g bread. they would teach strikers a les son that would prove salutary. and one that is often badly needed. It would not be an impossible or even difficult thing to do. if the proper determination could be brought to bear. and it might be that the people would be better of for the change.

A HONEST oppoNENr.

We can but like the good old Hartford Courant, Republican. as it is. It Is fine example of. clean journalism. always fighting in the open. and generally fair to it's opponents. A recent issue has this:
 The saner and soberer the Democratic Party comes out of it's approaching or deal at St. Louis, the better we shall be pleased. It is not well for the coun- try that the minority party should be running wild on the mountains and among the tombs like Gaddara's demo- niac. That does not make for healthy politics, xor for the permanent welfare of the Republican Party, Theodore Roose- velt's election next fall Is desirable, and assured: we cannot think it desirable that a fresh access of political dementia at St Louis should turn the Presidential race into a walkover.
 That is putting patriotism above par tisanship. There is also just a shadow of uncertainty in its mood, although 1t speaks of Roosevelt's election as assured. Evidently it is not sure of the result and in its sollcitude for the welfare of the entire country 1t wants the Democrats to nominate good and safe man. so that. in the event of his election, the country would have good President.
 But if we read carefully between the lines, we will find another reason, also patriotic one. why She Courart wants a strong and sane Democratic Party. Plainly it is not at ease about its Pres ident or its party. With only disor- ganized and inpotent Democracy to con front it, the Republican Party would feel itself secure and become even more reck- less and dangerous than 1t now is. With no powerful party opposed to him. the President would throw off all restraints and become serious menace to the Gov ernment.
 - This is just what may be expected if the Democracy yields to the discreditable and weakening influences threatening it and becomes poweriess for good.x The domination of Hearst and Bryan would make of the Democracy a poor weakling with neither power nor influence. There is something of vastly more importance than party success at stake in the con- test. Not only partisanship. but patriot Ism demands of Democrats that they shall unite In defence of the time-hon- ored principles of the Party, and labor both for Party success and good govern ment. If We cannot elect our candidate, we can make our Party so strong that it will be a constant menace to the Re- publicans and an ever present rod of cor rection in the eyes of Roosevelt. The Ccurant is to be commended for it's sent iments

Spencer on George Eliot.

Herbert Spencer's autobiography, re- viewed in last Saturdays Press, con- tains the following. physical portrait and character sketch of George Eliot whom the philosopher knew long be- fore she became a celebrity: In physique there was, perhaps, a trace of that masculinity characterizing her intellect; for though, of but ordinary feminine height, she was strongly built. The head, too, was larger than is usual in women. It had. moreover, peculiarity distinguishing it from most heads, whether feminine or mas culine: namely, that its contour was very regular. Usually heads have here and there either flat places or slight hollows, but her head was everywhere convex. Striking by its power when in repose, her face was remarkably trans figured by a smile. The smiles of many are signs of nothing more than amuse, ment; but with her smile there was habitually mingled an expression of sympathy, either for the person smiled at or the person smiled with. Her voice was contralto of rather low pitch. and, I believe, naturally strong. On this last point I ought to have a more definite impression, for in those days we occasionally safg together; but the habit of subduing her voice was so constant that suspect It's real power was rarely if ever heard, Its tones were always gentle, and, like the smile, sympathetic,

Frrnch Languare In Louisiana.

Congressman Broussard Of Louisiana never spoke any English until he went to Georgetown University at the age of Is, and even now he probably uses his mother, tongue-French--wit the greater fiuehcy.
 Tt is a curious thing" said Mir. Broussard, how the French language has remained the dominant tongue in my home country. Brought there by Acadians of Nova Scotia in the cigh- teenth century, 1t prevails today, and I believe always will. Curiously enough, you will find plenty of men in my dis trict with such unmistakable English names as Jones and Hayes who can't read, speak or write word in Eng black people. Their negro French would be unintelligible in Paris, and yet it is the softest, sweetest, most mu- sicaT speech I ever heard from human lips. 1t knows no grammar, but 1t IS ody"

A WISE DECISION.

The New York Court of Appeals has recently rendered an opinion holding, in effect, that street railway company is liable for the language and conduct of It's employees as well as for the safe trans that of woman who asked a street car conductor to give her the change due her. He not only refused. but abused her. and denounced her as a dead-beat in presence of the other passengers. The lower court gave her a verdict for only the % cents change due her. but the high O. court reversed 1t as stated above.
 This. ali must admit, was a wise and righteous decision. To hold otherwise would be virtually to relieve the company of all liability for the acts or conduct of those who manage it's business. If a passenger Is injured by the carelessness or incompetency of an employe, the com pany is certainly responsible. If a con auctor should collect more than the legal fare from passengers, would not the com pany be bound to make 1t good? And if a conductor Is abusive and insulting. the company is the one responsible for it.
 We should thiuk that railway compa- ries themselves would not be dissatisfied with such a decision as the New York court made. if they will look at it in the right way. The success and profit of their business depends largely on the manner in which it is conducted. If the conduc- gtors and other employees are rude. dis courteous and insulting, it Is plain that the passenger business Of the road must suffer. As a matter of self-interest alone they should employ courteous men. es- pccially as conductors, and when one of different kind is exposed, the road should be glad to learn of it and even to pay for It. if necessary. The court did wisely and we'll. As The Toronto World says;
 4 good many of the disputes between passengers and officials are traceable to inconveniences suffered by passengers for which the company, not the officials. are responsible The official. as the visible embodiment of the company, receives the angry criticism which ought to be hurled at the directors. It Is a sound rule to make the company responsible -not only for the service, but for the conduct of It's employees.

many humble family, unable to speak a word of English. unfamiliar with the
 ways of a strange country and people, finds life a too bitter struggle, and among the inmates of the asylum are great many little ones "surrcndered' by parents unable to provide them with food and clothing.
 Others of those who come from homes of Restitution, instead of being volun- tarily sent to the institution by their parents, are handed over by the Depart ment of Charities. while third class is composed of those committed by the courts for minor offences. These last are the only inmates of the institution to whose support the city of New York contributes, and 1t pays but sSo year for the lodging, feeding, clothing and care of each little culprit. The other chil- dren.. who are in great majority. of course, are maintained wholly on con tributed funds which, with the increas- ing demands on the asylum, have con stantiy heavier proportion of expenses to meet.
 Standing in the gateway through which most foreign-born Americans first enter the country and where many of them must bring up their families, the New York Juvenile Asylum is really a na- tional institution: its maintenance the length and breadth of the nation share moro largely each year. The magni- tude of Its work is indicated by the plans for the community at Echo Hills and it's scope of usefulness has always increas- ed steadily and as rapidly as it's financial would permit.

nEEYING THE LAW.

The esteemed Charlotte Observer takes occasion, as it says, ito butt into a de- bate between The Montgomery Adverti- ser. which is generally right about things, and The Norfolk virginian-Bilot, which is almost uniformly wrong, to take the side of the latter on the latest subject of discussion between these ancient con- troversialists."
 The occasion for the putting is on ac- count of opinion between these two pa- ,2ers on the subject of the Presidents s pistol-toting The Advertiser condemned it, just as it would condemn 1t in a pri- vate citizen, holding that the Presidents position gives him no more privileges in the premises than any other man has. Tho Virginian-Pilot takes issue with this view and declares that "The right of self defense is paramount to the law. No law can or will impair it. It is as funda- mental as common sense."
 Our Charlotte contemporary not only endorses this view, and goes it one bet ter and insists that ''the State has as much right to forbid a man carrying A tcothpick as to forbid his carrying a pistol" Well. if 1t were one of the fa- mous Arkansas toothpicks." perhaps The Observer is right. but does 1t mean to take the position that the State by legal enactment has no right to prohibit car rying concealed weapons? If 1t does that ends the argument, so far as we can see. though it does not change our contention that if it is wrong for private individ- ual to go around with pistol concealed in his hip-pocket. it is equally wrong for the President of the United States to do tha same thing. And our contemporaries must pardon us. if we are too dense to sec where the plea of self-defense comes id

Such names as Cauquomogomoc. Chimquassa- bomtook and Molechunkamunk are fair samples of what the people up there have to contend with. These words belong to the Alonquin tribe of Indians, whose lan- guage lacks the softness pertaining to many of our Southern dialects. The lam guage of the Greeks. Choctaws, Semi holes and some other Southern tribes is as soft and musical as are any of the languages of Europe, but the Maine local names are as jaw-breaklng as anything Russia can show.
