WHY DO AMERICANS SUCCEED

WHY DO AMERICANS SUCCEED?
Why do we lead all the nations of
the earth in prosperity, happiness and
individual contentment?
Why are we, IS a people, regarded as
an invincible power of impregnabIe
strength?
And why do we compel the admira-
ton of the whole world-at times
grudgingly given, but given, anyhow ?
1t is because we are free and indie
PENDENT in the trueSt meaning of the
words.
We think for ourselves, act for our
selves, govern ourselves more than the
people of any other nation.
We are absolutely self-reliant a ma
tional trait that renders US independ-
ent of all other nations. independence
is the keynote of our supremacy.
And this is the reason why up-to-
date grocers and storekeepers appreci-
ate the fact that Americans of both
sexes have strong wills of their own,
and do not need interested advice.
Every up-to-date grocer knows per-
fectly we'll that for more than a quar-
ter of a century Lion Coffee has been
the leading package coffee and a well
come drink at the tables of millions of
American homes.

that it has always kept its old
friends and steadily made new ones.

on having Lion Coffee and no other. no

NAMES BEST DOCTOR
MR.. BAYssON PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Reioices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.


Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion.
They have been my best doctor" he
says. II was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for Dr. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Raysson is a native of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
Mt No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea. pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness of the digestive organs by the
use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and q
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat," may be obtained by any one who
makes request for it by writing to the
DIR. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
ny. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the cure of constipation.

cADETsHIPs IN JAPAN.
They Are Open to Every Subject in
JAPANESE Empire

Cadetships in the Japanese navy
are open to every subject in the en-
pire, as are also commissions in the
army and all civil appointments IN
der the government. There is no sys-
tenn of nomination, and the successful
candidates are chosen entirely by
competitive examination. The naval
exploits during the present war have
naturally given a strong impetus to
the eagerness of high-spirited youths
to enter a service which has won such
glory for their country, and the ap-
plications for naval cadetships during
the present year already far exceed
in number those of any preceding en-
tire year. In one district of the four
in which they are received they al
ready amount to over 800 as against
5000 in 1903, and $500 in 1904.

TALKS ABOUT MOVING
NJ. j Demorest Contsmplates Going
To Ann Arbor-Mixer May Be
Manufactured There.

Milan j. Demorest is thinking very SER
ously Of moving to Ann Arbor and looa-
ting there for the. next four years at
least. His son Irving who is now East
with Mrs Demorest. will begin a four
years course in the university this fall
and Mr.. and Mrs. Demorest desire to be
with him.
Another re son why the change may
be made is the fact that he has received
very flattering offers for locating there
and beginning the manufacture of the
Demorest Mixers on large scale. One
of the most practical mechanics in that
city and an expert in concrete work has
investigated his invention and states that
it is certainly one Of the best and most
simple in construction OF any yet made,
and does not see how it can be improved
upon.
The whole community will regret very
much the removal of Mr.. Demorest from
the city as he is an excellent citizen and a
valuable man to have for neighbor and
friend
His invention is one which is destined
to grow into large business interest and
the manufacture Of it and headquarters
for the sale should remain right here in
Belding his home town.
Mr. Demorest says il he decides to &c
he will sell all his property here as he in
tends making that city his home.
