Sharpens Appetite
Improves Digestion

Besides restorative influence on
the whole system, DR.. A. w. Chase's
Nerve Pills have an immediate and d.
rect effect on the organs of digestion.
They stimulate the nerves of taste
and induce a good flow of saliva to aid
digestion. They excite the glands of
the stomach and produce a plentiful
supply Of the gastric digestive fluids.
They sharpen the appetite and arouse
hunger.
Especially where appetite and the
ability to digest food have diminished
as in nervous exhaustion, anaemia, the
result OF sickness, overwork or worry,
DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills are by
all odds the most effective treatment
that can possibly be obtained.
They, assure good digestion, regular,
healthful action of the liver, kidneys
and bowels and the building up and
revitaIizing of the whole system

congress sessions. The excellent condi
tion of the treasury is due to the heavy
income from customs. internal revenue
and miscellaneous sources. Revenue
from these quarters is growing by leaps
and bonds, and keeping pace with the
vast expansion of the business and in.
dnstrial affairs of the nation.
A few months ago customs officials
were talking abont breaking the record
for customs receipts this fiscal year
with a total that they thought would
reach S330.0U0, 000.- Last year the total
was $3D,0O0,000. which broke alllrecords
up to that time. 1t is possible the total
may reach 1895 ,OOO.UUO.
The way the customs receipts are
growing there is no telling where they
will stop. April closed with the total
customs receipts for the first ten
months OF the fiscal year above. $2I7,.
100000. or about $280OO00O ahead OF
the same time year ago. The general
cause is given for the heavy returns
from customs and the constantly ey-
panding revenue from this source is
that the country is enjoying wide,
spread prosperity and is buying more
freely abroad.

DOING GOOD WORK.

Notwithstanding the apparent in.
difference of many of our business. men
toward the Commercial club, that or
ganization is doing splendid work in
the direction of road improvement. Its
latest act in securing the cooperation
of the AIankato town board in the good
roads movement is worthy of common
dation. and the board is to be praised
for the interest it has displayed in this
al-important undertaking.
Good roads mean great deal for the
country and Mankato. The better the
highways, the easier it will he for peo-
pie to reach this city and trade with
the merchants. .Mankato can well af-
ford to expend money on the country
roads which tonch her outskirts, The
Free Press is pleased to note the act
witty the Commercial club is displaying
in. the matter of road improvement
Its labors have not been in vain. The
residents of the rural districts have
been quick to seize hold of the stu
alton and lend a helping hand
What the Commercial club has al
ready accomplished in the Improvement
of the roads is worth all the money
that has been paid into the organiza-
ton in the shape of membership fees
If nothing else had been done. if the
club had no other one thing to its
credit, there could be no cause fol
complaint among the merchants and
others who seek the trade of the
farmers. The Commercial club has
done splendidly.

Henry Clews' current review of the

dition is somewhat optimistic. Conval-
essence il in progress, and both the
money and security markets show an
improvement Easier rates for money are
the result, Confidence is returning. Mr..
Clews did not say so. but the confidence
he refers to is that which has its habitat
in the make up of the Wall street specu-
lators. The people have had plenty of
confidence in themselves to get along
very nicely notwithstanding the furries

who infest that thoroughfare.
The season is now approaching when

some injury is reported TO both wheat
and cotton. but planting of the crops

one can tell as to how far the impetus
thus gained will carry us. Indications
do not point to a runaway market, but

more popular than those on the reverse.

ines. This sum was carried by the ON
nibus appropriation bill, as passed by
the state legislature, and is the largest
amount of money ever given the local
| institution.
Two new buildings, ward for the
care of tubercular patients and a hos
pital for the detention of the criminal
insane, are provided for by the appro-
priation, and it will permit of extensive
repairs being made on three others, the
administration building, the south wing
and the south detached ward. Of the
total amount voted, 1904 900 becomes
available July 81, 1908, and included IN
this is $50 900 for the construction of a
; tubercular ward. This building KS
been needed at the institution for years,
and repeated requests have been made
to the legislature for money with which
i to erect it. Work on it can be begun
this spring, and when it is completed
the hospital will have facilities for
separating patients suffering with "the
great white plague from those not
afflicted.
Another $4,000 is provided for the
completion of the administration build
ing, practically out of use for four
years. The legislature of 1902 appro-
priated money to have the building re-
modelled and made tireproof, but the
work had to be abandoned year ago
owing to lack of funds. It's functions
correspond to those of a general hos
pital, and when it is restored the in
stitntion will secure greatly needed
space.
Other important items are 81 500
each year for fireproofing the south
wing, the only portion of the main
building not equipped in this manner,
and $4,000 each year for remodeling
the south detached ward The latter
has been in use twenty-five years and
Is in wretched condition. 1t has no
system OF ventilation, its ceilings and
walls are out of repair, and it is regard.
ed as very unsanitary and unwholesome.
Owing to its crowded condition, how
ever, the work of repairing it cannot
be allowed to extend over a period OF
two years, and nothing will be done UNI
til the spring of 1905 when the entire
appropriation of $4,000 will be avail
| able.
An allowance of $lS0,0OO year was
made for current expenses, and the sum
of 100000 set aside for the criminal
insane hospital, which may be built
next year. The remaining items in the
budget are: Ten thousand dollars for
the reconstruction of the heating plant;
j $1,000 a year for geenral repairs;
! So 900 for the erection of COW barn;
] 81 900 for laboratory furniture and
! fixtures; $500 for a farm engine and
feed mill; and $500 for an addition to
