!, in life; because # draws off the enef- 1 gy. saps the vitality and force which ought 10 be made to tell ones success 1 in life; because it blunts the sensioili- ! ties and deadens the thinking facih-. fties: because 1t kills the ambitions and the finer instincts and the more deli cate aspirations and perceptions; be- cause it destroys the ability tc concen- trate the mind. which is the secret of all achievement. The whole tendep- cy of the cigarette nicotine poison in the youth is to arrest functions. It blights and blasts both health and morals. It not only ruins the facul- ties. but it unbalances the mind as well. Many of the most pitable cases of insanity in our asylums, are cig- arette fiends. It creates abnormal ap- petites. strange. underlined longings, r
 discomfort uneasiness. and in many, an almost irristible inclination to crime. In fact, the moral depravity which follows the cigarette habit. is something frightful. Lying, cheating, impurity, loss of moral courage and manhood. complete dropping of life S standard all along the lines, are it's general results. A chemist. not long since, took the tobacco used in an average cigarette and cooked it in several spoonfuls of water and then in- liected a portion of if under the skin of cat. The cat almost instantly went into convulsions and died in fifteen minutes. Dogs have been killed with single drop of nicotine. Young men and boys, heed the admonition of one who wishes you well, in this and the life to come.
 The crop prospects, both corn and cotton, are very promising at this time-the 18th of June; but the corn needs rain. This section has had no rain since the first of June. Cotton is fine where it has been properly worked.

CHAIRMAN OF SSION
DRAWS TWO SALARIES.
CALLED ON FOR STATEMENT.
AS President of the Glover Leaf Route
He Receives $4,000 Per Year But
Denies Giving Any of His Time to
the Road.
the Road.

Washington, Jan. 80. - That he
draws $4,000 annually from the Glow
er Leaf route is an admission made
by Theodore p. Shonts. chairman of
the isthmian canal commission, which
may have an important bearing on
the canal investigation. Mr.. Shonts
was called by the senate interoceanic
canal committee to make general
statement of all matters over which
he exercises control. He was asked
to state his former employment. He
said that he had been president of the
Glover Leaf route After giving the
mileage of that road and some other
general information it was brought
out that he still receives $4,000 a
year and continues to hold the Office
of president. He says that he does
not give any time to the management
of the road, but that reports are sent
to him and frequently officials of the
road come to Washington to consult
him.
fact that Mr.. Shonte receives 100000
a year from the United States the
chairman of the commission was al
lowed to proceed. 1t was stated by
that when they take up the question
of salaries Mr.. Shonts' case will be
met. Mr.. Shonts, in interesting testi-
mony, admitted that the commission
had paid for the importation OF wo-
men into the canal zone, the women
being the families of laborers from
Martinique, and that there is no way
for the government to recover this
money. Mr. Shonts expressed the
opinion that the canal commission
should feed it's laborers. but said sew
eral older men in the isthmian SER
vice believed in the contract system.
Prices for all foodstuffs were high
when the present commission took
hold of affairs on the isthmus, said
Mr. Shonts, and he then told of open
ing the commissary department to
the laborers in order to remedy these
conditions.
mo matter how the canal is built"
he said, there are two things over
which the United States should al
ways exercise control-the govern
ment of the zone and the sanitation.
No trouble was experienced in get
ting plenty of Martinique. and Jamai-
can laborers but there had been diff
Guilty in getting the best class of la
Dor. according to Mr.. Shonts.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and STOMACH
Trouble. x

Q. What is the beginning of sicknessf
A. Constipation.
Q. What is Constipation
A. Failure of the bowels to carry off the
waste matter which lies in the alimentary
canal where it decays and poisons the en-
tire system. Eventually the results are
death under the name of some other dis
ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever
and appendicitis, stomach and bowel
trouble at the present time.
@. What causes Constipation
A. Neglect to respond to the call of ma
sive brain work Mental emotion and i'm
Q. What are the results Of neglected
Constipation
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. 1t causes rheu-
matism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel,
kidney, lung and heart troubles, otc. 1t is
the one disease that starts all others.
Indigestion, dyspepsia. diarrhoea, loss OF
sleep and strength arc its symptoms-piles,
appendicitis and fistula, are caused by
Constipation. Its consequences are known
TO all physicians, but few sufferers realize
their condition until it is too late. Women
become confirmed invalids as result of
Constipation
Q. Do physicians recognize this'
A. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you is ''are you constipatedf" That
is the secret.
Q. Can it be cured'
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics, such
as pills, salts, mineral water, castor oil, in
jections, etc, every one of which is in
furious. They weaken and increase the
malady. You know this by your own ex-
pericnce. -
.. What then should be done to cure it,
A. Get a bottle of Mull's Grape Tonic at
once. Mull's Grape Tonic will positively
cure Constipation and Stomach Troubl2 in
the shortest space OF time No o&er
remedy has before been known to Cure
Constipation positively and permanently.
Q. What is Mull's Grape Tonic!
A. 1t is Compound with 40 per cent. Of
the juice of Concord Grapes. 1t exerts a
peculiar strengthening, healing influence
upon the intestines, so that they can do
their work unaided. The process is gradual,
but sure. 1t is not u physic, but it cures
Constipation, Dysentery, Stomach aud
Bowel Trouble. Having q rich, fruity
grape favor, it is pleasant to take. AS a
tonic it is uncqualled, insurng the system
against disease. 1t strengthens and builds
up waste tissue.
@. Where can Mul's Grape Tonic be
hadl
A. Your druggist sells it, The dollar
bottle contains nearly three times the 80
cent size.
Good for ailing children and nursing
mothers.
A free bottle to all who have never used
it because we know it will cure you.

Whose Say-so is Best?

With nearly all medicines put up for
sale through druggists, one has to take
the makers say-so alone as to their cura-
tive value. or course, such testimony is
not that of dlsinterested party and
accordingly is not to be given the same
motives. DIR. Pierce's medicines. how
ever. form single and therefore striking
exception to this rule. Their claims to
the confidence of invalids does not rest
solely upon their makers say so or
praise. Their ingredients are matters OF
public knowledge, being printed on each
separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid
sufferers are taken into Dr. Pierce's full
confidence. Scores OF leading medical
men have written enough to fill volumes
in praise OF the curative value of the
several ingredients entering into these
we'll known medicines.

1t is only a few short years since
the impression prevailed that large

extent did this impression prevail
that districts larger than European
