Business Depression Already.

Already there is general business depression on account of the uncertainty caused by the rumors of President Roose- Velt's intentions to mangle the tariff. He is the person who will do 1t beca use all of the congressman are aITaId of him because he has the patronage It is Just such mangling of the tariI as he pro- poses that brought on the civil war If Polk had not tampered with the tariff that was framed by the democrats and which he pledged himself to support the mills and factories of the south would not have been idle, and there would not have been d class of poor white trash. as they were called. 10 be as clay in the han1s of a few demagogues
 You can never stir up rebellion in a community which is employed. Idle ness breeds discomfort.

H. C Baird of Philadelphia
 Writes Caustic Letter
WOULD CAUSE CIVIL WAR
Claims That If Tariff Is ManoIed Is Will Produce Idle People, Who Will Foment a Re-
 belIion.

Washington, January u.-(SpeciaI.)- Polls of republican delegations on the subject of tariff revision bring out little favorable to the wishes of the President on the subject. Not a few of the re- publican members say that the party went before the people in the last cam paign and deecaded the present tariff rates and that there is no demand for a revision at this time, except on the part of the Independents and democrats who, 1t is claimed, are influencing the Presi- dent on the tariff subject
 Henry Cary Baird of Philadelphia, a high priest of protection and we'll known as a writer on economic questions, has written Senator Lodge a caustic letter on President Roosevets revision vows MT. Baird opens his letter by saying: Theodore Roosevelt has been elected un- der false pretenses and betrayal has fol- lowed quickly" Mir. Baird in explaining his charge says: "I have a right to believe that this man was d stauncn pro- tectionist. 1 gathered this from his let ter of acceptance. Now even before he has been inaugurated the President al- lows it to be known that he is heartily in favor of tariff revision
 Tt is no more than 1 expected, though l voted for him in the first place under protest. 1 have 1t from man who has written and studied widely upon the tariff that Roosevelt Is a free trader at heart.

Quickly Cured by a Short
Course of Pe-ru-na.

Mrs. MINNIE E. McALLIsTER,
IL wife of Judge McAllister, writes
from 1917 West 33rd street, Minneap-
oils, Mimi, as follows: ~ Z
al suffered for years with a pain In
the small of my back and right side. II
inferfered often with my domestic aud
social duties and never supposed that
would be cured, as the Doctors n7edi-
cine did NOT seem to help me any. (
Fortunately member of our Order
adviser me to try Peruna and gave it
such high praise that decided to try
it. Although started in with little
faith, felt so much better in a week
that felt encouraged.
II took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that am entirely cured.
"W0rds fai! 10 express my gratitude.
Perfect health once more Is the best

Peruna, 4 enjoy that now F"
Pain in the back, or on the right side.
How often physician hears this
complaint!
Over and over we hear women say:
81 have paid in the small of my back.
have pain in my right side, just be-
low the ribs.
These symptoms indicate pelvic or
abdominal catarrh.
They indicate that the bowels are not
acting properly-that the liver is out
of order-that the pelvic organs are
congested.
Pelvic catarrh-that is the name for it.
Peruna cures pelvic cafarrh, when
all of these symptoms disappear.
The catarrh may be all in the abdom-
inal organs, when it would be properly
called abdominal catarrh.
At any rate, it is one of those cases Of
internal catarrh which can be reached
only by course of treatment with
Peruna.
We have on file thousands of testi-
monials similar to the above. 1t is i'm
possible here to give our readers more
than one or two specimens of the num-
Der of grateful and commendatory let

Healthv Place to Live.

st. Vincent de Tyrosse, a French
village with a population of some five
hundred people, must be a healthy
place to live, if the old age of it's in.
habitants is any criterion. On single
day recently no less than five couples
of the village celebrated their golden
wedding together.
The five couples have combined
age of 765 years, and are named OAR
cant, Fabes, Latailade, Fortabat and
Coustets. A sixth couple in the viii
lage only lacked a few months of be-
ing able to join in the celebration. All
of the parties concerned are agricul-
tural laborers, and they are all in
good health, and every day finds
them at their usual tasks.

MIRRORS COVER HIS WALLS.
Rich Man Says They Teach Grace to
Members of His Family

Rich Man Says They Teach Grace TO
Members of His Family.
A rich man has the walls of his
house covered with mirrors instead of
pictures. In every room he can see
himself in profile, from the rear, from
the left, from the right-in twenty
different ways. He claims that these
mirrors promote grace. He asserts
he has these mirrors on his children's
account.
Mirrors, according to this mans
view, do not promote vanity. They
promote self-study and, in conse-
quence, self-improvement.
If young girl is round-shouldered
she is hardly aware of her defect in
the ordinary course of life, but if she
lived in home lined with mirrors
she would see all the time the ugly,
slovenly curve Of her back, and, NOR
titled and grieved, ~she would at once
set to work with suitable exercises to
become straight.
All sorts of ugly habits-ugly ways
Of sitting, of standing, of smiling, OF
gesturing-are pictured in true and
unflattering way by mirrors. The av-
erage man or woman, perceiving these
lglinesses, would set to work to re-
move them. The trouble is, accord
iEg to the rich man, that the average
person does not perceive his several
uglinesses and no one is frank enough
to point them out to him.
This innovator, opposing holly the
contention that mirrors foster vanity,
looks at himself at home nearly all
the time, and continually he urges his
children to look at themselves, to
study themselves and to try daily to
improve in grace.

WHY ONE IS SLEEPY.
Many Hypotheses Are Advanced by
the Scientists.

MdHy VypotucscS arc AoNdnCSo py
the Scientists.
Scientists disagree as to the cause
of drowsiness. Some curious and re-
markable reasons are assigned for the
desire everybody has for sleeping. II
is attributed by some people to an
accumulation in the system of the
poisonous products of the wear and
tear of the body during the day.
There seems to be some measure OF
truth in this, for in many diseases
the patients are often sleepless. An.
other hypothesis Is that the nerve
cells of the brain dwell apart from
each other, as it were, during sleep.
The brain is composed of millions Of
tiny bodies called cells, each having
several delicate prolongations. or
branches, for the purpose of communi.
eating with other cells. When the
brain Is fully active all these cells are
in contact, or ready to be in contact,
with one another; but the time &C.
casionally comes. it is thought, when
the branches of all the cells curl up,
and their isolation means that com.
plete communication between the cells
ceases. The state of body and mind
that follows is what we call sleep.
The most probable explanation Of
sleep, however, is that in some way or
other the internal condition of the
cells is changed. partly from exhaus.
ton and partly because of diminished
stimulation from other parts of the
