DOCTORS MLSTHKES

Are said often to be buried six feet unoef
ground. But many times women call Oh
their family physicians, suffering. as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kld-
ney disease, another from nervous pros
tration, another with pain here and there,
and In this way they present alike 10
themselves and their easy-going or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for when
be, assuming them to be such, prescrlbes
bis pills and potions. In reality, they are
gil only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant OF the

Miss Farrow, city treasurer of
Kansas City, said to the writer that
there has never been more cash in
the city treasury than now; all
judgments have been paid and the
city employees are paid in cash i'll
stead of script, as heretofore. The
income of the city is just as large,
despite the fact that hundreds of
saloons or joints have been closed.

politician, says the business and
professional men are aroused at the
statements sent broadcast by brew
cry interests, that Kansas City is
suffering in a business way because
of the saloons being closed. Bus
mess was never better" is the
general sentiment of every business
man in the Kansas town. The
laboring man, as we'll as the
business man, is realizing that the
city is far better off without liquor
stores.

TIE Disression and the Argument

TIE DEPRESSION and the Argument
A favorite anecdote which GEORGE
WILLIAM CURTIS liked to quote In his
lectures and the Easy Chair told oil
the patience Of Sir FRANCIS WALsING-
HAM, n of EIlzABETH's Secretaries OF
State. He was disputing, \ perhaps
about religion, with somebody, a zeal
ous and cholerio person. The jealous
and choleric person overlooked with
choler and spat in Sir FRANors's face.
-That, sir, is a DEPRESSION said Sir
francis, calmly wiping his face; now
for the argument
Now when the lie Is being hurled,
when eminent persons are batting away
at one another viciously and resound-
fnely, when the combat deepens, the
ungodly r~eioioe and a few old fashioned
folks remember that the Presidency
used to be considered a post Of dignity,
let It be remembered that tho issues
between Mr.. TAFT and Mr.. BRYAN are
what they were; that the reputation OF
Mr.. FORAKER or Governor HASKELL ID
not n Of those issues; that all this
boxing match, If there Is to be one, be-
tween Mr.. ROOSEVELT and Mr.. BRYAN,
or between Mr.. ROOSEVELT and the
field, however lively and %uproarious it
may be, is a depression.
The argument remains. For his part,
Mr.TARTseems to be sticking to it.
