To THE EDITOR OF The LEADER
| would ask that you kindly give
me space in your paper for a state
ment to the general public regard
ing the matter between my daugh-
ter and Mr.. Fred L. Harris, Of the
Mclean county Miner, publisheda at
Underwood. | will say as father and
protector of my unfortunate daugh-
ter, that it grieves me that this
matter should be aired in the news
papers the way that it has been.
This publicity makes my family
and myself feel the disgrace more
than can be appreciated by those
not directly concerned. My feel
inys in this matter I cannot express
but [ want the good people Of Nc
Lean county to know that the state
ments Of Mr.. Harris made in his
newspaper regarding this case are
entirely false and untrue. That I
and my family, and no one else
whatsoever have taken my daugh-
ter's part in this matter, and what
ever we have done or caused to be
done in the premises have been at
her or my instance. That we have
acted independently and without
solicitation from anyone. That I
know no politics and have taken
no interest IN politics during my
residence in Mclean county, where
[ have lived for more than twenty
years. That as soon as my daugh-
ter confessed her trouble to me, I
took the matter up with Mr.. Harris
us her father and representative,
and knowing that he wasa married
man realizing that he could not
protect my daughter by marriage,
| consented that Mr.. Harris should
pay her a certain sum of money
which was to be used to aid in sup
port of the child. This he agreed
to do. I felt SO bad about the whole
matter that I decided that my fam
lily and myself would leave the
scene of our trouble, our acquaint-
ances and friends, among whom we
had arranged to spend our declin-
ing years. However, Mr.. Harris
failed to make the payments agreed
upon, and [ heard Of him making
misstatements and slandering my
daughter. Then, after another in
terview with Mr. Harris, [ took the
matter up with the proper legal au-
thorities and I had my daughter
make the complaint. And now that
the matter is before the courts for
adjustment, I would ask all good
Christian people of our county not
to give any credence to newspapers
and the talk of idle gossip, but to
await the decision of the law.

The Apple.

The apple is not considered to be a complete food in itself, but on the food list it has a value far above the nutri- meut it possesses. Apples aid the stomach in the digestion of other foods, and therefore the best results are oE taincd from eating them after rather than before meals. After partakins of an unusually heavy dinner the eltins of an apple will be found to facilitate an early digestion and afford great re. lief from the suuerings attendars upon LmLl.nsLLnn.

HAIR TELLS CHARACTER
Color of Hair Said to Indicate a Per

Many people believe that blonde or light hair denotes affection and dark hair cOnstrucy, a person without hair iS not devoid of character; far from it. The disposition of the av. rage bald. headed man is to show such sulicitude for the welfare of others, that he neg lect himself "A germ causes badness. Prof. SabJuraud, of Paris, France, in- nOcculated a rabbit with Dandrut germs, caused it to become totally bald in hve weeks time. To rid the scalp of these dangerous germs it is neces- sary to apply Newbro's Herpicide.

WORK N WORK..
How Much Labor May Be Done With
out HURTING Mind or Body.

How Much Labor May Be Done With
put Hurting Mind or Body.
It is sometimes a slight compensa-
ton for the man who is broken down
physically or mentally, the man with
early heart disease or kidney disease,
or the neurastlenic, to boast that
hard work was the cause OF his undo
ing. It is a much more respectable
cause than dissipation, or at least it
would be if it were the cause. But
the best medical authorities and n.y.
gienists, believe that few men have
ever been seriously injured by hard
work properly done. It is hard work
combined with worry or hard work
performed in the wrong way that e
the mischief in the majority OF cases.
OF course there may be such a thing
as too much work-too constant appli-
cation without recreation of any sort;
but even in such a case inquiry will
usually show that there is a want
of system which increases the hours
of work and induces a state of worry
and hurry. Some of those who &C
complish the greatest tasks seem to
have the least to do. and the reason
for this is that their work is thorough
ly systematized. The day is not be-
gun with a despairing glance over all
that must be done before night, and
a hesitation where to begin. On the
contrary, each hour has it's appointed
task; one thing is taken up, and for
the time being the mind is ~concentrat-
ed upon that alone, as if nothing else
pressed for the day. When this is
done the next is taken up, and the
next and the next; and when night
comes there is no accumulation of un-
finished work, and no worry for the
morrow.
It is the lack of system, the in
ability to concentrate the mind on the
work of the moment that makes for
failure and for breakdown.
Another reason why overwork kills
is that the mar wilfully or ignorantly
neglects the laws of health. He eats
too much under the mistaken idea
that food is needed to help him bear
the strain. He neglects physical ex-
ercise in the open air, and the sys
tenn becomes clogged with waste ma
terials.
System, a quiet perseverance in talk
ing up and completing one thing at
a time, moderation in eating, one
hour at least each day in the open
air and seven hours sleep will en-
able a nan to put behind him an
enormous amount of work every day
without hurt to mind or body

Catarrh Of the Stomach is Generally
Called Notwithstanding
10 Produce Artificial Diges-
ton is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat Of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

DIX. u. S.. Senator M. G.. Butler from
C. South Carolina was Senator from that
State for two terms. In a recent letter to
The Peruna Medicine Co., from Washing
ton, d. c., says:
II can recommend Peruma fordys-
pepsin and stomach trouble. L haze
been assisg yOur medicine for a short
period and I1eeL Uerynsuch relieved.
It is indeed a aComde7fuL nfedicine
besides a good tonic. I'm. G. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh. Peruna does not produce arti-
fetal digestion. It cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in a natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial meth
DDS or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dyspep-
sia than all other remedies combined,
simply because it cures catarrh wherever
located. If catarrh is located in the head,
Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened it.
self in the throat or bronchial tubes,
Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes
settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it,
as well in this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Perunia is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is gen.
orally dependent upon catarrh.

HOW THE JAPANESE KNEW.
Had Spies to Watch Building Of Rus
sian Battleship at PhiIadelphia.

Had Spies to Watch Building Of Rus
sian BattIeship at Philadelphia.
A story is being told which sheds an
interesting light on the marvellous
foresight and precaution that charac-
terized the preparations of the Japan
csc for the present war. Some years
ago a Japanese agent came to Phila-
delphia with a letter of introduction
to a prominent Philadelphia who had
Travelled in Japan. This Philadelphia
tells the story.
The letter was written by a Japan
csc official who knew the Philadel.
phian, and it stated that If he would
help the bearer in what he desired the
favor would be greatly appreciated.
The favor was for the ~Philadelphian
to simply introduce the agent to a
frst-class firm of detectives. This
was done and the agent described as
a responsible person. He had plenty
of money, and a bargain was. made
with the firm, the latter to receive a
large sum of money.
F., Inc detectives were required to
dress in the clothes of laborers and
secure work in Cramps shipyard and
then to gather full information about
the Russian battleship Variag, then
in early course Of construction. This
they did, and the Japanese govern.
ment was supplied with every detail
of the construction and armament of
the Variag. The officials at Cramps
do not yet know exactly how the Japs
obtained it.-Philadelphia Press.

FIRE ENGINE COST $4,000.
Wealthy Men Of York, Pa, Have Cost
ly Equipment.

Iy Equipment.
Fire fighting is a fad among the
wealthy business and professional
men of York, Pa, and n of the in
dependent companies there has just
had manufactured at the local plant
of the American Locomotive works
ore of the finest steam fire engines
ever constructed. 1t is a machine Of
the first class and built after the ia.
nous Amoskeag pattern. The ordinary
cost of a steamer of this type is
5000, but this ~luxuriously equipped
and lavishly ornamented piece OF ap-
paratus is so rich in costly embellish'
ments that a check for about $4,000
will be necessary to settle for it. Elk
pense, however, was not a matter to
be long considered by the company
which ordered the machine. Three
members Of the company are said to
have pledged $1,000 each toward de-
fraying the cost. It seems that the
company is determined to have every
thing about it's quarters in keeping
with the character of the ma
chine. A handsome and commodious
new engine house is now being erect
ed, in which will be stalled three mag
~niicent, coalblack horses, to be pur'
chased regardless of price, so long
as they are perfectly matched and
not marred by a single spot Of white.
Three black grooms will be engaged
to care for these animals. The new
engine is now ready for shipment,
which is being delayed until the build
ing in which it is to be housed is
completed.
