NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail Physl-
cal strength is derived from food. If a
man has Insufficient food he loses strength.
II he has no food he dies. Food is con-
verted 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.
Thus the stomach Is really the vital or
gan of the body. II the stomach is eweak"
The body will be weak also, because it is
upon the stomach the body relies for its
strength. And as the body, considered as
a whole, is made up of its several mem
bers and organs, so the weakness of the
body as a consequence of rweakD stom-
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. If the
body is weak because it is ill-nourished
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,
weak nerves, feeble or irregular action OF
heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.
Mr.. Louis Pare Of Quebec, writes: rFor
years after my health began to fall my head
grew dizzy. eyes panied me. and my stomach
was sore all the time. while everything |
would eat would seem to lie heavy like lead
on my stomach. The doctors claimed that
1t was sympathetic trouble due to dyspepsia.
and prescribed for me. and although i took
their powders regularly yet felt no better.
My wife advised me to try DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery-and stop taking the doc
tors medicine she bought me bottle and
we soon found that | began to improve, so
kept up the treatment. took on f1eSh my
stomach became normal, the digestive organs
worked perfectly and l soon began to look
like different person. l can never cease to
be grateful for what your medicine has done
for me and certainly give 1t highest praise"

DIR. Pierce's medicines recommended to
be rjust as good.'

The American taste is not yet edu-
Gated up to the point of appreciating
good meat. 1t is aid that quite a
number of dressed goats were recent
ly marketed in Portland. They were
sent in by shippers who believed they
would readily take the place of sheep,
which are scarce and high. Portland
consumers showed no liking for Ango-
ra meat, for the commission dealers
who were so unfortunate as to receive
any Of the carcasses found it difficult
to move them at low prices. Fat, well
dressed kids are passable substitute
for spring lambs, it is said, but old
goats are tough chewing.

The manager Of the packing house
at Vincennes, Indiana, while filling a
case of eggs, found one on the little
end of which was perfectly formed
capital letter "P", after which was a
neat little period. The ldtter measur-
ed three quarters of an inch long and
sixteenth OF an inch wide. We
would suggest that the Indiana man
forward this egg to Col. Wood. the
Gardena rancher, that be may start a
breed of literary chickens. AS a
chicken fancier, Wood might not be
the false alarm that he is as potato
king.

Elijah's best suit was sheepskin coat,
his habits were simple and inexpens-
i've and he was never charged with
ny crooked dealing. Should he come
to earth now, his first act no doubt,
would be to swat" the pompous
fraud who scandalized his name, just
as he smote the false prophets of Baal
at the foot of Mt. Carmel. Dowie
should have reincarnated Jonah, as
he is certainly the worst Jonah that
ever gold -bricked a lot of credulous
fools. Crestfield, the 'Holy Roller, "
has passed in, Dowie is about to do
the same. What freak creed are we
to expect next?

ATHENA, JUNE Is. ....... 1906

Wheat sales day looks as good to the
farmer as wool sales day does to the
wool grower. The success of wool
sales made on certain days advertised,
when buyers congregate for the pur-
pose Of bidding on the product, has
long been established, and it looks to
us, all that remains for the wheat
growers to do, is to fall in and follow
the footsteps of the wool men. A
wheat sales day in Athena would virtu-
ally mean a mammoth transaction in
grain, perhaps larger than was ever
before transacted here. By this meth
cd of selling grain, generally speak
ing, about all the wheat in storage
would virtually be in one big "pool.
This fact alone would seem to at
tract buyers and result in spirited bid
ding. It has been demonstrated in
the past that pooling Of large holdings
of wheat in storage here, has been the
incentive, as rule, for better prices.
Instances could be cited where farm
ers pooling their wheat in one big lot
have" crowded the market price from
a half cent to cent more per bushel
than the individual with merely sew
eral thousand bushels could get at the
time for his grain. A nice lot or a
big dab, always interests the hea d
office aud sets the wires working, re-
sulting usually in the local buyer re-
ceiving instructions from down be-
low" to "close the deal" With the
Inauguration of wheat sales day,
the old man in the head office would
doubtless find it convenient to take a
trip up country for the time being.
Then he would not have to trust to
wires, but would be on the grounds to
help the local agent out.

How the wealth of the south Is
growing may be estimated from the
fact that the value of the cotton crop
for the past five years exceeded by
nearly $4OO, 100000 the entire produc-
tion of gold and silver in the world
during that time. And this was only
one of the great crops of this mighty
republic. 1t is pleasing to know that
the South has long since recovered
from the devastation of the civil wal
and was never so prosperous in all its
history as right now.

Congressman Watson, of Indiana

Congressman Watson, of Indiana,
says unless we are willing to grant
the Philippines free trade with this
country we should abandon them al
together. The only way they can be of
benefit to rs is by helping to build up
an oriental trade, and if we make it
impossible to do this by holding
them off at arms length, tLey be-
come a mere costly appendage and an
international nuisance. If you can't
feed your dog you would better give
him away.

John Alexander Dowie, whose an
tics have filled the papers of Chicago
for weeks, is great failure as a
prophet and, if his enemies in Zion
city are to be believed, he is failure
in all other respects. He seems to
have bankrupted Zion and many Of
his followers, by his extravugance,
bad busi:ess management aud riot
Gus living. Having set his brethren
by the ears aud busted up" the whole
community, we have doubtless the be-
ginning of the end Of the remarkable
religious delusion. Dowie's first mis-
take was reinoarnating Elijah, who
was entirely unlike the modern fakir
who assumed his name. Elijah was a
plain old farmer who had no money
and cared nothing for it. Neither did
he dress in silk'gowns or live in 800,
900 houses or galivant over the coun-
try with troop of unattached women
playing the adopted daughter racket.

Senator Clark, of Montana, an
nounces that he will not be a candi-
date for reelection to the Senate. 1t
will be news to the country that they
have elections of Senators in Montana,
the impression being that the copper
kings just passed the thing around.
AS for Clark, he has been mere
nonentity in the Senate and the only
service he can do the body is the leav-
ing of it.

1t is not generally known that the
hay crop of this country is worth con-
siderably more than the cotton. The
order is corn first, hay second, cot
ton third. So the cotton, once king
of all the push, has been twice dethron-
ed. Corn crowded him off his pedes-
tai and became king himself. Now
hay takes precedence of the dethroned
white monarch, but both are far be-
hind the emperor of all the grains.

how would it do to put some of the

The first attack upon any Of the
big insurance companies or their
official heads was made by Thomas
w. Lawson when he began the Sc
rial publication of his 'F fenzied FL
nance" in Everybody's.7 He open
Fy charged mismanagement of trust
funds and alleged that the insur
anes concerns were all manipulat-
ed by Wall street gamblers. His
charges were taken up by Preside nj
Mccall of the New York Life and
ridiculed as ridiculed as ridiculous
and Lawson was openly accused ol
falsehood.
Then came the quarrel between
young James Hazen Hyde and
President Alexander of the Eqnita
bic, and the sensational charges re-
sulting in the Frick COMMITTEES in
vestigation, followed bv the legis'
lative investigation. In this all the
insurance companies were shown
to have been illegally conducted
and their trust funds and surplus
used by schemers to float their va
rious projects.

suffered from the inquiry were Geo

New York Life, whose funds were
made Use of by the firm of J. Pier
