THE SECRET OUT.
a wide open Statement.

To rafute the many false and mali
eious attacks, bogus formula and other
untruthfu statements published concern
ing Doctor Pierce's WOrd-famed Family
Medicines, the Doctor has decided TO pub
fish all the ingredients entering into his
vFavorite Prescription for weak women
and his equally popular tonic Alternative
known as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Hereafter every bottle Of
these medicines leaving the great Labo-
ratory at Buffalo, n. Y, will bear upon it
q full list Of all the ingredients entering
into the compound. Both are made
entirely from native medicinal roots.
The ingredients of the cGOlden Medical
Discovery" being nOn-alcoholic extract
Of Golden Seal root, Queens root,
Black-cherry bark, Mandrake root, Blood
root and Stone root, preserved by chemi-
cally pure glycerine.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
being made OF native medicinal roots, Is
next 10 Nature and Is the best tonic you
can use. It fills the blood with rich, red
blood corpuscles. 1t gives you feeling
OF strength, and IL puts sunshine into
your system as no other remedy can.
That IS why DIR. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery has been such a favorite
for the past forty years. No man or
woman can be either healthy or hand :
some who has impurities in the blood,
for IL will show in pimples, boils, and
eruptiOns, In the dark circles under the
eyes and in the sallow complexion. After
taking oGolden Medical Discovery you
are bound to have pink cheeks and a
fresh complexion. The muscles get the

obtained, note the following letter:

THE CALL TO THE MINISTRY.

An elderly woman now living in
the west, formerly a resident Of Al
lentown, Pa, not long ago visited
her relatives in that town. She was
especially interested in the progress
of a nephew who had entered the
ministry. She had not seen him
since his boyhood, and was, there
fore, anxious to attend service at
his church. -'atgy 'SsEFaa1 ag@-as
At dinner, subsequent to the Sun
day sermon she heard delivered by
her nephew, it was observed that the
old woman was singularly reticent.
Suddenly she broke her long ST.
lence by asking her nephew
Frank, why did you enter the min
istry?"
"Why, aunt!' exclaimed the
young divine. "What a question I
entered the ministry because I was
called"
Just a suspicion of a smile came
to the old woman's face, as she re-
sponded: "Are you sure, Frank,
that it wasn't some other noise you
heard?"

THE NEW PERUVIAN ARMY
French Officers Who Have Reorgan.
lied II Now Conduct the
Field Exercises.

For the last ten years or so ten
French army officers and four nom
commissioned officers have been re-
organizing the Peruvian army, and
a general mobilization was recently
carried out with an efficiency that
would have done credit to any Euro
pean force.
The head of the recognizing
commission is COmmandant Paul
Clement, and his work has covered
every detail Of military life. He
has devised new uniforms for all
the corps closely resembling those
of the French army.
Modern weapons of all grades
have been procured. The officers
have been put through rigid courses
of instruction and the men thor
oughly drilled.
The mobilization and field exer-
cises were held in the valley of
Jauja, at height of more than
1000 feet above sea level. The
troops were transported to Huari
by rail and marched the rest of the
distance, some 80 miles, through a
mountain country of the widest
character. All the provisions and
supplies were transported on mule
back and only the lightest artillery,
the mountain batteries, were taken
along.
A reserve body recruited among
the Indians took part in the maneu-
vers. 1t was the first time they had
been called out. They we're all
dressed in the poncho and wide
straw hat, but they showed great
aptitude, and the official report says
that after the three weeks during
which the drills lasted, they were
as proficient in all essential move
ments as the regulars.
The military training school is
at Chorillos. The regular army
consists of 1000 men. The size OF
the reserve is not revealed.-Wash-
ington Post.

articles concerning various ADVERTISED

PERFECT CONFIDENCE.
Hopkinsville People Have
Reason For Complete
Reliance.

Do you know how
To find quick relief from back
ache;
To correct distressing urinary
ills;
To surely cure sick kidneys?
Just one way-your neighbors
know
Have used Doan's Kidney Pills;
Have proved their worth in many
tests.
Here's Hopkinsuille testimony.
Mrs. w. C. Davis, 829 West
Seventh street, Hopkinsville, KY,
says: "Mr. Davis has never had an
occasion to use Doan's Kidney Pills
or any other kidney medicine since
he recommended them in the sum-
mer of 1903. For years prior to that
time he had been an almost constant
sufferer from kidney trouble. He had
lIlIClloS pains III Illo OdCh WHICH SA-
tended to his shoulders and annoyed
him all day. They prevented him
from sleeping during the night.
The relief he obtained from the use
of Doan's Kidney Pills which he got
at L. A. johnson & Co.'S drugstore
was surprising. They acted differ
emily from any remedy he ever tried
and he has never had a recurrence
of the trouble since using this valu-
able remedy four years ago. 1t
speaks pretty strongly for Doan's
Kidney Pills that cured him."

LOST HIS COAT.
Rather Expensive Drive For
A Hardware Clerk.

A young clerk in one Of our stores
took his best girl out for a drive
Wednesday evening. AS the mer-
curry had attained an attitude close
to the century mark he obtained per
mission to take off his coat, which he
did and hung it on the back of the
buggy seat. When he drove back
to the city he discovered that his
coat was gone. His fellow clerks
have not given him much Of rest
since.

against the excessive fees and
commissions paid to tax cOllec-
tors and sheriffs has begun.
Here Is probably the field of the
greatest abuse. There are
many reasons why there should
be a change in the law concern
ing the manner and amount of
compensation of this official.
First, the services rendered
are not worth the money which
we, the people, pay for them.
1t will be observed that the du-
ties of a sheriff and tax collector
are generally such as may easily
be relegated to deputies at a
mere trife of a salary. The du-
ties of the office do not in many
instances require the personal
attention of the officer, who has
nearly all his time at his disposal
to devote to private interests.
The argument is sometimes ad
vanced that the life of this officer
is exposed and that he should for
that reason receive a large com
pensation. The lives of his dep
uties are, as a rule, exposed even
more frequently. The lives of
the soldiers of our National
Guard are frequently exposed
for from ST. to SIS a month.
The lives of the posses that very
frequently assist the sheriff in
the performance OF his duty are
exposed for nothing. The very
adventuresomeness of spirit of
the American man would cause
him to seek the glory of this life
risk were there nothing in it
! financially.
Again, scores of other officers,
national, State and parish, e
ceive a much smaller income, al
though the duties of the other
officials are of equal or greater
Importance than are those of the
sheriff and tax collector. And
not only are the duties of Office
more arduous, and the RESPONSE
bility as great, but the public and
the law demand of many of these
other officials higher qualifica-
tions. For the parish sheriff is
better paid than the clerk of the
court, assessor, treasurer, and
school superintendent; better
even than district Judge, SUI
preme Judge, Governor and
Congressman.
A third very important reason
why our Legislature should
change the present system is
that the excessive salaries paid
to these and other officials are
responsible for the corrupt poll
tics that is known to exist to-day
in many parts of Louisiana. The
ardent desire to procure such
Offices for the sake Of the large
remuneration results in q strong
tendency to bribery, and the
heavy stakes involved appeal to

To the Editor of The Times-D Democrat:
Your editorials and those OF
the country papers throughout
the State, concerning the large
emOluments derived from the
Office of sheriff and tax collector,
are. well timed. Whatever issues
may arise, or have arisen, in the
gubernatorial campaign. none
can be of any greater Importance
to the people at large than that
advocating the readjustment of
the manner and amount of com
pensation awarded to the public
officials for public services.
We have reached a stage in the
Development Of our State where
we shall have to require our leg
islators to carefully study public
services and utilities from the
standpoint of economics. At
the last session of our Legisla-
turey for instance, many appro-
priations were necessarily cur
tailed and a number of demands
refused because of lack of
funds. The various institutions
and causes for which these ap-
preparations were sought were
absolutely worthy, but the
budget from the beginning was
in excess of estimated revenues.
Such a conditions as this de-
mands the earnest consideration
of citizen and lawmaker, for an
important problem in economies
presses for solution.
The more money needed to
meet the growing demands of a
progressive State must come
from some source. The diff
Guilty of the problem, however,
is obvious when we consider that
while the cry on the one hand is
for more money for public utilti-
ties, on the other hand there
comes q call to reduce the rate
Of taxation and even to provide a
sinking fund in order to gradu-
ally retire the State debt. Par
adoxical as it may seem, the
public to-day wants more in
public services and utilities for
the money they invest in taxes,
while at the same time they bit
terly complain of the prevailing
high rate of taxation. In view
Of these facts, every effort should
be exerted to revise our system
Of governmental maintenance in
such = way as to exercise . more
careful surveillance Of public
funds, and to see to- it that no
public Tc c::sys are wasted in
IxorbitAnt salaries OF for useless
expenditures of government
Il lie well that the campaign

too, recognizes the Office as a
political plum, and partly iusti-
fies his illegal acceptance of the
bribe on the ground that it is
only fair that the candidate
should divide with HIM the SUI
perabundant proceeds OF the
public office. And not alone is
bribery one of the evils arising
from our present system, but
false returns, ballot box stuffing.
and various forms of election
frauds are traceable to this un-
fair and unjust condition.
Still another reason in favor of
this change is one that we point
ed out at the beginning of this
article-the money is badly
needed elsewhere. Our public
roads. public schools and public
charities are far from being ade-
quately provided for. Our State
institutions are taxed to their ut
most to accommodate those com
mitted to their care. Our public
servants in many departments
are being nsufficiently rewarded
for their services.
A question arises shall the
fee system in the various Offices
continue to prevail, and merely a
reduction in fees and commits
sions be made? We oppose the
system. 1t appears undemOcra-
tic. Under our form of govern
ment. we. the people, have a
right to know just exactly what
our servants n being paid.
The present plan savors of graft
and makes e~xtOrtion possible.
Give US a straight salary for
each and every parish officer, just
as our State officers and our
judiciary receive. Not the
sheriff alone, but the clerk of the
court, the treasurer and the
assessor should receive a salary
commensurate with the duties
they perform. Let the Legisla-
ture and the police juries fix the
salaries of these officers accord
ing to the size, population and
assessment of the parish, in the
most equable manner possible.
Let the duties of these officers
be clearly and fully defined that
there may be little or no call for
extra compensation. Our gov
eminent should be conducted on
a business basis to make it pay.
Not only is it unfair and un-
ju st that the percentage system
still prevails, but it is contrary
to the spirit of the times. In
the management of our great
business enterprises there is
nothing wasted and no employed
overpaid. The slogan of abate-
ment of wasteful public expendi-
lures should be taken up at this
time, and should continue for
the next twelve months to ring
in the ears of every candidate
for the Legislature.
