The old fashioned way of dosing

Heart or Kidneys are all wrong.
DR.. Shoop first pointed out this
error. This is why his prescrip-

is directed entirely to the cause of
these ailments, the weak inside or
controlling nerves. 1t isn't so
difficult, says DR.. Shoop, to
strengthen weak Stomach,
Heart, or Kidneys, if one goes at
it correctly. Each inside organ
has its controlling or inside nerve.
When the nerves fail, then those
organs surely must falter. These
vital truths are leading druggists

tion to change the location of the
Jail. Citizens who desired a

the amount of 81, 900 and urged
the advantages of change of To-
cation. After looking over the
ground the commissioners decided
that if a lot is given the county
free of cost, between the present
all and the Lutheru church, and
adjoining property owners Of
fer no objection, the location will
be changed. This is practically
impossible proposition and means
that the site of the jail will not
be changed. The contractor, who
was in town yesterday, says ma
terial will begin arriving in about
two weeks and work on the exca-
vation will begin in about two
weeks. The idea is to locate the
new jail between the present jail
and the court house, near the pres
ent structure and use the old Jail
until the new one is completed.

SENATOR BAILEY TALKS,
Expresses Opinion About Presidents Prep
aration for the High Office.

| aration for the High Office.
| Asserting that he had heard it
reported that President Taft would
veto the pending census bill if it
did not provide for the placing the
appointments of census employees
under the civil service commission,
tSenator Bailey, in spe Oh
on the bill in the Senate to-day,
declared that if the "President
had thus early in his administra-
tion undertaken to coerce Con-
gress, he would find that the ex-
perience of the last seven years
was holiday compared with what
the next four years would be-"
MI. Bailey said: II am one of
the men who sincerely hope that
the president will distinguish him
self in his great office. I hope
that his administration will be an
unmixed blessing to all the peo-
pie, but 1 do not hesitate to say
that no man ever had a less de-
slrable preparation for it than the
present occupant of that high Of
fee. He went from the bench,
where the tendency is toward a
certain kind of tyrany. There is
scarcely Federal judge in the
United States Of 20 years of SER
vice who has not become arbitrary,
irritable and sometimes tyranic.
I do not mean that this experience
would corrupt him in the sense of
making him veneal, but it tends
to corrupt him in the sense that 1t
teaches him to oppose his will
against all obstacles.''
Mr.. Bailey continued "This
distinguished gentleman went
from the bench to the Philippine
Island, which country is without
any constitution and where his
single word WIS the will Of great
people. He deserves the highest
eulogy that human language can
frame, or human lips can pro-
nounce, if IN the surroundings he
kept burning in his breast the de.
vine fire of constitutional liberty
He came back and then entered

absolute control of the great
work of building a canal on the

could have done, l tear cheerful
witness.

went to worse school in which
to learn to be President of the

occupant of the White House. I
hope, and I do not expess the hope
without coupling it with belief
that morally and Intellectually
he has been strong enough to pro-
tect himself from this baneful in.

Tribute to the Doctor.

From this human bond between
doctor and people and from the
peoples utter dependence upon
him for the ministry of his pro-
fession it follows that the doctors
relation to the people should be
one Of sympathy. No normal hu-
man heart is hard. No rightl
poised human spirit is impervlous
to the mute appeal of helplessness
or is unmpved by the cry Of suf-
fering wrong from a man by the
power Of pain? There is a soul
sympathy essential to the doctors
work which links him to suffering
man. As comrades in common
conflict they jointly fight the bat
tie of health against disease, of
life against death. Down through
the valley where the river and
ocean meet, in dark uncertainty
the fight goes on. And if the VIC
tory is achieved and death is van
unished and the sick one lives the
faithful doctor feels virtue 60 out
of himself because upon the alter
Of that ones safety he has laid a
lavish contribution from heart
as we'll as from head.-From an
address Of DR.. McGenee, of Reids.
