Everybody His Own Mint

NOU will remember that in December, 1900, after
the election of Lincoln, several of the Southern
States seeded, and appointed delegates to meet in
convention on February A. 1901, at Montgomery.
At this convention February 49, Jefferson Davis
was elected President and steps were at once taken
to ralse money. On May FL the Capital OF the
COnfederaCy removed to Richmond, and there
the Confederate Congress authorized the printing
and issuance of legal-tender notes to defraV the
expenses of the newly formed government
Meanwhile, everything in the shape of a gold
silver coin began to disappear from circulation,
until tradesmen found it necessary to print and
issue their own notes first with common type, and
later on with Autographs from old bank-note dies.
few months later these notes superseded by
the genuine Confederate notes, printed in Rich
mOnd. Though poorly executed, they were univer-
sally accepted thrOug the South par in gold
Indeed, such was the scarcity of currency and
eager were the demands OF trade, that everywhere
the SouthernerS jumped at the chance sell their
lands, goods, or slaves for them. Some of these
notes having reached the North their poor execution
and the ease with which they could be initiated
caused an lrishman named Haney, news-vender
in Washington, to counterfeit them.

NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
 ills STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia and his muscles would soon fail PhySi- cal strength is derived from food. If a man has insufficient food he loses strength If he has no food he dies. Food is con verted into nutrition through the stom- ach and bowels. It 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. If the stomach is weak" the body will be weak also, because it is upon the stomach the body relies for it's strength. And as the body considered as whole, Is made up of it's several mem bers and organs, so the weakness of the body as consequence of weak 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, oackache and kindred disturbances and weaknesses.
 MT Louis Pare. of Quebec, writes: UFor years after my health began to fail. my head grew dizzy. eyes pained me. and my stomach was sore all the time, while everything I would eat would seem to lie heavy like lead on my stomach.

ordinary circumstances a stronger
market might have been expected,
but packers are determined to hold
prices down, in which they had less
opposition from outside sources than
usual. On the basis of steady prices,
offerings changed hands promptly. A
good clearance was made at opening
prices. Sales ranged from $3.50 to
$3.50, and the bulk of the supplies
sold at s6.350640 although there
were several at s6.45.
