Good Health and Good Mental Powers
Always Follow Normal Conditions.

If you are suffering from any chronic
stomach or bowel trouble, such as ner.
vous indigestion, dyspepsia, gastric
disturbances, or constipation, you can
be easily and permanently cured by the
proper use of "Dewberry's Delight" a
scientific preparation that is so we'll
known for its curative powers. 1t acts
gently and mildly on the liver, bowels
and kidneys, thereby removing the
refuse waste matter from the system
so that the determining powers can re-
main at the surface toward off cold and
fermentation, which is forerunner of
all diseases. That is why such marvel
Gus results follow the use of "Dewbera
ry's Delight" as it removes the cause
at its very outset. 1t induces good
sound sleep and rest, which is very es.
sential in restoring the nerve force.
Do not put off, but buy bottle today
Everybody should know that food nu-
triton is required for the growth and
preservation of our bodies. Each day
nature requires supply of nourish-
ment to supply life. 1t matters not
what your trouble is, whether of long
or short staEding, you must first re-
move the cause before nature can cure.
That is what "DewbeTry's Delight"
does, removes the cause and nature
cures. It should be in every home as
a safeguard against sickness No home
is complete without it, as it can be used
Internally and externally, by old and
young alike. and nothing but benefit
can possibly be derived from it's use.

Gun-MaIxing ii, China.

A correspondent of the Lahore
Civil and Military Gazette visited one
of the Chinese arsenals, and thus put
down his impressions: Finally we
were taken-among other places
to the great Chinese arsenal, some
way beyond treaty limits, where
cory form of munition of war, from
rifles to forty-fve-ton guns, was seing
made. We wandered through will
derness of factories, covering acres
of ground, and were shown the whole
process of manufacture. And there
were powder factories and other in
stitutions not far away, which we had
no time to visit.
'That was, perhaps, the most sig
nificant experience of ALL You may
have seen gun factories before, but
have you seen place turning out
great guns by the dozen, and ma
chine guns by the hundred, perfect
in design and construction, run, from
coolie to head mandarin, entirely by
Chinese, and with only couple of
Englishmen engaged solely in con-
suitative supervision? Have you seen
a roomful of Chinese draughtsmen
and designers. in piGtaiis and blue
gowns, solemnly, stolidly and assidu-
ously getting out the drawings for a
new gun? 1t is sight that fur
nishes food for thought. And as you
leave you ask yourself the question::
If these men can make the guns,
why may they not work them some
day?'"

Conceding that the salaries paid
women are not as high as those paid
men. Miss Phoebe Couzins AYERS,
boldly and emphatically, that there is
no reason why they should be. To
her way of thinking. there are two
great things which prevent women
from reaching high success in any
line: first, her nature; second. lack
of incentive. Woman" thinks Miss
Couzins, twas not intended to reach
a high position in the professional
world. Her place is at the home,
and try though she win to kill her
real nature. she cannot pass a GER

that he may win some good woman.
What woman enters the business
world that she may win a husband

speaking of the Likelihood of &c

Speaking of the likelihood of Con-
gress compelling roads to adopt the
block system the Brooklyn Eagle
says: This is an effort in the right
direction. The loss of life ON our
American roads is very much heavier
than in England or on the continent,
where automatic block signals are far
more generally used than here. The
deaths in proportion to the number
of passengers carried per mile are
very much heavier here, and the con-
trasting figures make our American
recklessness of life even more re-
markable than our indifference to
to equal and equitable rates for our
railroad service. Public safety de-
tnands that every precaution which
will reduce the chances of accident
shall be employed, regardless of cost
This is a good year to enforce such a
demand, because the railroad earn
lngs have been unprecedentedly
large, and the railroads are in condi-
ton to meet the extra cost. In the
end the railroads will be the gamers
