NO MAN Is STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsi.
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food II 8
man has sufficient food he loses strength.
II he has no food he dies. Food Is con-
verified into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on the
strength Of the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digeSted and aSSimilated.
People can die OF starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
gan of the body. If the stomach is weak
the body will be weak also, because it is
upon the stomach the body relies for its
strength. And as the body, considered al
whole, is made up OF its several men,
bers and organs, SO the weakness OF the
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. Ii the
body is weak because 1t is illnourished
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs-heart, liver, Kidneys etc.
The liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise to biliousness, loss OF appetite,

backache and kindred disturbances and

Mr.. Louis Pare. Of Quebec writes: sFoy

Limit of Power to Contro,

We don't know much about politics,
but if the president is to have power
to control, through men appointed by
him, the prices charged for transpcr-
tation on our railroads, we do not
quite understand why he should not
have the same power in regard to
steamboats,, interstate express compa-
MES, telegraph and telephone compa-
MES, and so on to the end of the chap
ter, including, perhaps, the prices of
things in states where they are not
manufactured, and if one of these
days an ambitious rascal of the Ma
poleon stamp should manage to get
into the White House, with all this
power and the army and navy behind
him, and should take a fancy to dis
tinguish himself, under the Monroe
doctrine, by attempting to conquer the
world, we wonder what would become
of our free epublic?-George T. An

Lincoln and Masonry.

Col. =. B. Bierce of Springfield, H.,
while visiting in N0rdin last week, dis,
cussed the question of whether or not
President Lincoln was a Mason. Al
though statements to that effect have
been made, Col. Bierce says that he
was not. He says that just after Lin
coins election in 1860 his petition
for membership was received by
Springfield Masonic Lodge No 4, of
which Col. Bierce is still a member,
and acted upon favorably, but that in
view of the exciting events which
came on apace during that fall, and
the many things which occupied the
attention OF the president-elect, he
never found time to go any further in

for several years he had drank three

Remarkable Invention Promises to
Reduce Cost 25 Per Cent.
Many mechanical cotton pic1ers
have been invented to gather the cot
ton from the plant. Some picked ev-
erything in sight, lint, leaves and
bolls. Some were made principally to
sell stock in the companies that ex-
plotted them, and never picked at all.
One ran away on plantation in Mis-
sissippi and destroyed half an acre Of
cotton. Cotton pickers and gold
bricks are III the same category to
the average farmers mind. Yet there
is mechanical cotton picker that has
worked. Mr.. George Lowry has made
one which with it's five operators
picked 1,4S4 pounds in a day. thou
sand pounds is good days work for
five hand pickers. The machine with
five men did the work of seven or
eight hands. 1t is not yet in it's final
shape. The promoters admit that it
is not adapted to all kinds of cotton.
Yet, with its limitations, if it could
save even one-quarter of the STE, O0O,-
600 or more annual expense, and rem.
der the present labor supply adequate
for the gathering of the crop, Mr..
Lowry would go down in history with
Eli Whitney.

This Will Give Her Pretty Arms

Here is a physicians remedy for
superfiuous hair on the arms, the
growth of which spells the pleasure
of wearing short sleeves. 1t has been
used with excellent results by the fam
lily of girls to whom he gave it: One
part quicklime, two parts carbonate
of soda, vaseline eight parts. This
forms paste, which should be spread

smart or burn it should be washed off.

with the third or fourth application.

Eighty-cent Gas.

New York is now enjoying So-cent gas
with string to 1t. The Consolidated Gas
company will render its bills for all gas
used up to and including May l, at 81 a
thousand feet and thereafter will charge
the new rate-S0 cents-fxed by the legis-
lature But the gas trust will not give
up the 20 cents a thousand feet with
out a struggle. Across each bill this no.
tiee will be printed in red ink:
Under compulsion of chapter l25 of
the laws of 1876, and of an order of the
State Gas commission, made pursuant
to chapter 737 of the laws of 1905 the
company. for the purpose of avoiding
the penalties and consequences of DISC
bedience to the said acts and order, rem
ders the within bill at the rate of 50
cents instead of 81 per thousand cubic
feet of gas. In case. however it shall
be judiciously determined that the COM
pany is not restricted to the said rate,
the consumer will be held liable for the
additional amount to which the COM
pany is entited.55
The company has already taken steps
in the courts to test the matter and the
litigation will probably be prolonged.
