A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have ILL
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close confine-
ment to home, office or factory, and in con-
sequence the stomach must be treated
In natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin -blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS result
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead of the supply. To insure perfect
muscle should take from the blood cer-
tain materials and return to it certain
others. 1t is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work OF taking up from
the food what is necessary to make good,
rich, red blood. We must go to Nature
roots known to the Indians of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came to the knowledge Of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly in professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet Ger.
tain in their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach, liver aud blood.
These are: Golden Seal root, Queens
root, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root. Then there is Black Cherrybark.
The medicinal principles residing in these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigorator when combined in just the
right proportions. as in DR.. Perce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
is bankrupt vitality - such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition and thin
blood, the body acquires vigor and the
nerves, blood and all the tissues feel the
favorable effect of this sovereign remedy.
Although some physicians have been
aware Of the high medicinal value of the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
used pure glycerine as solvent and
usually the Doctors prescriptions called
for the ingredients in varying amounts,

The Golden Medical Discovery is q
scientific preparation compounded of the
plyceric extracts of the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains no
alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs.

Get RID OF THE GAS
Or. Williams Pink Pills Strenqthea
the Stomach and Enable 1t to
Do Its Work.

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undlgested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach and cause inter.
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, 1t needs Il tonic that will
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourishment
Miss Minerva c. Ladd, of Ipswich,
Mass, says: : Il had weak stomach.
from the time | was a little child.
Whenever | took hearty food it would
cause terrible faintuesS, and l would
finally vomit what | had eaten. At
times there would be the most intense
pains through the upper part of my
body. For days III succession, I would
have to lie down most of the time.
The distress was often so great that I
could hardly bear it, and the frequent
and violent belching spells were very
disagreeable, too.
"My doctors medicines gave me little
relief and it was not until [ tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills that | found q cure.
Within three weeks a decided improve

WASPS BENEFIT THE FIGS.

Insects Arc Necessary to the Fruits
Successful Cultivation.
xhe long-continued effort to produce
Smyrna fig of commerce in Cali
iornfa has been crowned with success.
The history of the experiment is in
teEes-ing. 1t began over twenty years
ago with importation of cuttings from
Nsia Minor. Figs have been produced
from these and other imported cut
tings, but they were not the famous
white fig of commerce. The credit of
producing the latter in California be-
longs to George c. Roeding Of Fresno.
Until this summer every true Smyrna
fig tree planted in California which
bore fruit failed to mature it; the figs
were unfertiliZed and witheyed and
dropped. 1t was finally discovered that
the fertilization of this fig depended
upon the service of the blastophaga
wasp. whose habitat is in the capri,
or wild fig. The latter was imported
and thrived amazingly, bat the balsto-
phaSa did not accompany it. Special
importatiOns of the wasp followed. but
it thrived only for a season on the
capri fig and then disappeared It was
assumed that it could not survive our
winters. Last year the department OF
agriculture took the matter In hand,
A fresh consignment was imported and
its care !ntrusted to Mr.. Roeding. Last
April the young insect colony emerged
IN full force from tho first capri cot
enIGed the second, emerged again. and
tr took possession Of the Smyrna
n. trees, the fruit on which was ready
for fertilization. Mr.. Roeding reports
that this experiment has been perfectly
successful. A ton Of the fruit has a.
ready been picked from his trees and
tho entire crop will yield ave q nix

when Tempest had handed him the

They felt along the moist, slippery
walls, and slowly made their way from
one cavernOus chamber to another. but
without success. After several hours at
this work they seemed to have accom-
plished nothing.
And. in fact they had not accom-
plished anything.
The caverns in which they were were
not under the castle of Salvarez. But
they were not far away from it.
From the entrance at the river bank
to the opening in the foundation walls
the way was crooked enough. One
needed to be familiar with the passage
to find his way,
Medworth and Tempest were at least
two hundred feet from the true pas
sage, and were going round and round,
following upon their own footsteps.
I'VE shall die here" said Medworth.

Again they tried to find the entrance
but did not succeed.
Meanwhile, what Of Salvarez?
When he retreated from the Zambos
he picked up his wife and daughter,
and withdrew to safe distance from
the castle to allow his, soldiers time
to recuperate.
He remained here until nirhtfall.

Fate of the Ole Presidents.

In the autumn of 1901 Mrs. w, of
Roxbury, spent few weeks with her
daughter in Nova Scotia, returning
home shortly before President Nc
Kinley was shot, bringing her niece
Bessie F., aged six years, home with
her. OF course, the child heard a
good deal Of talk in the house about
the shooting of the president.
One day Bessie said to her aunt
Aunt Minnie, who is king of the
United States?" her aunt replied
I'VE have 90 kings in the United
States like you do in your British
country. We have presidents We
have an election every four years and
elect new one"
"Oh, yes" the child replied, "and
then they shoot the old ones, don't
they?"

Salvarez.
The battle over, the victorious
troops had given themselves up to
feastng and drinking to celebrate the
defeat of Salvarez.
The coronation Of PAilip had been
postponed. The battle had interfered.
and the troops were not now in a
condition to realize the glory Of such
an event
While the eating and drinking,
smoking and the singing Of Spanish
songs went on among the soldiers,
Philip sat alone in the library Of Sal
varez, now called the council room
of the king.
His reveries were interrupted by the
entrance of Don Juan, who burst in
upon him like whirlwind.
Il am undone," he cried There is
an enemy among u.s."
Philip, seeing the frenzied look on
Garza's face, started to his feet.
What do you mean, Cara? Speak!
What has happened?"

Juan, unable to say more.

placing his hand on the hilt Of his
sword.
'She is gone from the castle!' Don
Juan walked back and forth nervous

Il do not know. I have not seen
him
"Send for him. Let us see what he
has to say If Gomez has taken her
away, he must die
'Yes-he must die-by my hand"
said Don Juan.
An orderly was called.
Request General Gomez to come
here at once" said Philip.
The orderly saluted.
General Gomez is not in the castle,

A quick look of intelligence flashed
between Don Juan and Philip.

Thus they talked, Gomez all the time

in the fight
An hour passed, and burned powder
on each side was the only result

Don Juan began to grow impatient
"Of what use is this?" he exclaimed.
The fools will play with those guns
all day and all night. This kind of war
fare grows monotonous When they get
weary they will depart, only to annoy
us again"
What would you advise, Don

Attack. Drive them. Cut them
down! 1t is only by destroying this
army of Salvarez that we can carry
our banners from this place toward

From the battlements outside the
castle came a company to drive the be-

SalvareZ shouted out an order to his
soldiers They had been impatiently
waiting for the time to come when
rifles and pistols could be used in the
defense of their country, instead of
cannon, which accomplished nothing.
They rallied around their courageous
leader.

A voiley was fired, and dozen of
the men of Philip lay dead, and a score
wounded. Yet the remainder did not
slacken the speed at which they ad-
vanced.
They returned the fire
Several of the soldiers of Salvarez
fell
Salvarez gave the command to fire

He gave the word to Mattazudo.
The two hundred Zambos under the
command of the rascally half-breed
swept out of the battlements, and
gaining the rear OF Salvarez, began an
attack.
Men of the republic fell by dozens
'It is of no use," said Salvarez Our
men canont hold out. We cannot hope
to win. Another time, and the castle
shall be ours
He gave the order to retreat.
His men. being familiar with the
ground, melted away from before the
Zambos, and when there were no more
soldiers to pursue. the Zambos re-
turned to the castle.
Philip, Gomez and Don Juan stood
and watched the return of their army
from the scene of its second victory.
1--WE are invincible," said Philip.
"You are king" said Don Juan.
