Many Ailments-One Cause.

I have called these the inside nerves
for simplicity's sake. Their usual name is
the sympathetic nerves. Physicians call
them by. this name because they are so
closely allied-because each is in such
close sympathy with the others. The re-
suit is that when one branch is allowed
to become impaired, the others weaken.
That is why one kind of sickness leads
into another That is why cases become
complicated" For this delicate nerve IS
the most sensitive part of the human sys-
TEN.
Does this not explain to you some Of the
uncertainties of medicines it not a good
reason to your mind why other kinds OF
treatment may have failed2
Don't you see that THIS Is NEW IN
medicine? That this is not the mere patch
work of a stimulant-the mere soothing of
a narcotic? Don't you see that it goes
right to the root of the trouble and Grad
icates the cause?
But do not ask you to take a single
statement of mine-I do not ask you to
believe a word / say until you have tried
my medicine in your own home at my ex-
pense absolutely. Could offer you
full dollars worth free If there were any
MISREPRESENTATION? Could I let you go to
your druggist-whon you know and pick
out any bottle he has on his shelves of my
medicine were it not UNTO FtMLY help
ful2 Gould I AFFORD to do this if I
were not reasonably SURE that my med
icine will help you2

Of some so summers, who said that
while he had served some seven years
at Joliet and was generally known as
George Harris, his real name was
Thomas Clark and that he had at one
time worked for the Santa Fee COM
pany as a telegraph operator. and
seeing from the stolen papers that Mr..
Jobes was connected with that COM
pany, he had taken the precaution to
mail the documents (Which were of
no value to him) to Mr.. Jobes at
Wichita. He expressed great plea~-Ire
in meeting his victim personally, and
was profoundly sorry that he could
not offer him one of the choice cigars
which he had thoughtlessly given to
the police officers before Mr.. Jobes ar
rived. and as the officer in charge OBJ
jected to his going out and having the
elegant flask ref1lled with good old
rye, he would have to appear as
somewhat lacking in those amenities
Of polite society, characteristic of a
true Kentucky gentleman, and return
the flask to its owner as he had re-
ceived it-that is, empty. He ex-
pressed the hope, however, that
should Mr.. Jobes ever happen to drop
in at Joliet that he would not fail to
look him up.

A JOKE ON JOBEs.
Has His Overcoat and SatcheI Stolen
Enroute East.


Wichita, Jan. 1.-THE Eagle says:
A. c. Jobes, president of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce. who has
| just returned from a trip to New
York, relates an experience in which
he had his OvercOat and bag stolen
from his section in the sleeping car at
Chicago on Monday, the End inst,
while enroute to New York. He had
engaged space on Erie train No. 4,
which leaves the Dearborn street sta
car ten minutes before time for the
departure of the train and finding 1t
too dark under the train shed to read
the paper which he had just pur-
chased he opened the bag and took a
cigar from box of the Wichita Com
mercial clubs best, which he always
has with him, and stepped into the
smoking compartment to consume it.
Shortly after the train left the station
he returned to his section to read the
paper and was surprised to find his best
winter overcOat and alligator bag con-
tanning necessary toilet articles, FUR
nishing goods, cigars, valuable papers
and an expensive (but empty flask,
had disappeared. Mr.. Jobes was
grateful to discover that the thief had
graciously left his suit case, but as a
storm was raging and reported as be-
ing still more severe in the east, the
prospect of entering the metropolis
without a comfortable top coat was
not inviting. Mr.. Jobes imme diately

to procure from a lady passenger in the
carr had the train conductor sign it

tied down to mediate and to con-
template his 1000 miles journey with
out cigar to smoke, a gown to sleep
in or even a cork to smell.
The Pullman conductor however.
was one of those genial, resOurceful
and sympathetic fellows and very
thoughtfully wired New York to have
an overcoat in waiting upon arrival of
the train, which request was compiled
with and Mr.. Jobes was therefore pro-
tected from the wintry blasts while
crossing the ice choked North river.
The Wichita banker provided him.

sary articles next morning and on Sat

he called upon the Pullman people,

He of course agreed to go at once

where he could find that.

is A PITIFUL CASE.

Wichita. Jan. 14-AIrs. Shields, the
police matron, had among other callers
yesterday, one that appealed to her more
strongly than any that has come to
her attention this winter. The caller
was a woman IS years old who is re-
fined and well educated and who has
at some time been wealthy. She is now
reduced to extreme poverty, and has
not a relative in this city to whom
she can apply for assistance. When
asked why she did not apply to the poor
commissioner for assistance she said:
I cannot do it. I have given much
TO others in my time, but cannot bring
myself to ask. for public charity. I
would rather starVe. IN fact I believe
I might as well die of starvation as
any other way but I do not want to
die and leave rent unpaid
The woman told the police matron
that she lived in one small room in a
lodging house and that for some time
she had lived on % cents a week With
five cents she said she could buy buns
enough to last her nearly a week and
ten cents would buy a bucket OF coal
which she usually made to last nearly
as long little butter and a little
coffee was all her other expenses. She
said at times when she was in pain
from hunger she had prayed that she
might die. She said she had always
tried to live right and was not afraid
to die; in fact she believed that she
would feel better in the next world
than she did here where she could only
be a burden on some one.
If some charitably inclined person who
can understand the feelings of this SEN
Eative but unfortunate woman could
find it in his heart to leave a small con-
tribution with the police matron he car
rest assured that it win be applied &c

Kansas City, Jan. I4.-Dale Gear,
who will manage the Little Rock team
of the Southern league next year, has
secured a number of new players for

the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Bender,
who is a backstop, has made quite a
name for himself on western grid
irons, but very little is known of his
work on the baseball diamond.
Gear has also made a trade with
Percy Chamberlain of the st. Joseph
Western league team whereby he Sc

Lecture by Charles NJ. Harger Before
q University OF Kansas Class.

Lawrence, Kas., Jan. 14.=Charles
M. Harger. of the Abilene Reflector,
lectured to the University of Kansas
class in Journalism. A large crowd
greeted him. Mr.. Harger's address
was interesting and instructive. He
said in part:
Newspaper men are newspaper
men and as a rule not Journalists.
Book writers and some magazine
writer's are literary men, but you sell
dom could call a newspaper men a
writer of literature in the proper
sense of the word. Either for news
paper work or work of the high lit
erary class too much education is i'm
possible"
Mr.. Harger added that a proper
ratio of experience with education
was a good thing for newspaper men.
The class in Journalism is doing more
real newspaper work and is much
larger than ever before. It has an
enrolment of about thirty-f1ve stu
dents.

A Bond of Sympathy

The inside nerve system is plainly the
most important system in the human
body. Our life rests on the action of the
vital organs While they work we live
When they stop we die. While they per
form their duties properly we are we'll
When they perform their duties poorly
we are Ill. And the vital organs, each and
every one, depend upon the inside nerve
system, for Ii not only regulates them-it
operates and controls them.
The work of the inside nerves is not on
" the most important-it is the most Ia
boriOus. For our other nerves are exert
ed only at will. We think and talk and
exercise only as we feel inclined. and
when we are tired we rest. But the stOm-
ach. the heart, the liver, the kidneys, must
constantly and continuously-day and
night-fresh or tired. perform their nee
essary duties. We have no way OF know
ing even that they are tired or at fault
save the weakening of the organs they
supply.
But this strong bond Of sympathy has
useful purpose For 1t shows us clearly
that ali are branches Of one great system
that If we make the system strong we
strengthen every branch. This. is why so
many ailments can be cured by one form
of treatment For almost all sickness is
nerve sickness-inside nerve sickness and
other kinds of sickness, such as purely
organic arrangements, are frequently due
to lack or proper inside nerve treatment.

Inside Nerves.

Only one out OF every 50 has perfect
health. OF the 81 sick ones, some are
bed-ridden. some are half sick. and some
are only dull anad Iistless.' But most of
the sickness comes from a common cause.
The nerves are weak. Not the nerves
you ordinarily think about-not the nerves
that govern your movements and your
thoughts.
But the nerves that, unguided and I'M
known, night and day, keep your heart in
motion-control your digestive apparatus
regulate your liver-operate your kid
neys.
These are the nerves that wear out and
break down.
1t does no good to treat the ailing or
gan-the irregular heart-the disordered
liver-the rebeliious stomach-the derang-
ed kidneys They are not to blame But
go back to the nerves that control them.
There you viii find the seat of the trou-
BILE.
There is nothing new about this--noth
ing any physician would dispute. But it
remained for DIT. Shoop to apply this
knowledge-to put it to practical use DR..
Shops Restorative is the result of a
quarter century of endeavor along this
very line. 1t does not dose the organ or
deaden the pain-but it does go at once
to the nerve-the inside nerve-the power
nerve-and builds it up and strengthens
It and makes it well.

THE CASE DISMISSED.
Criminal CareIessness Charge Against
Kansas City Doctor Fails.

Burlington, Kan, Jan. 1.-THE
case of the state of Kansas against
DR.. z. p. Notrebe, of Kansas City,
and Drs. c. c. and G. G. Kesner. of
Leroy, was dismissed by the county
attorney, after all the states wit
nesses and two for the defense, had
been examined
The doctors were charged with
criminal careIessness in administering
chloroform to, and performing an
operation upon Mrs. NJ. Short. Of Lee
Roy. She died while under the in
duence of chloroform. The dismissal
was due largely to the expert testi-
mony of DIR. Moses T. Runnels, of
Kansas City. A letter was produced
purporting to be from Mr.. Short, the
prosecuting witness, in which the
writer offered to stay away from the
trial if DR.. Notrebe would pay him.
