Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any Of these organs are weak,
it is the fault OF the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.

If the sons of Theodore Roose-

the Atchison Globe, it will be
strong evidence that there are
those whom publicity does not
injure, or laudatory remarks in
fate. For eight years they have
been drawn into the spotlight by
their fathers prominence, and
because enterprising young cor
respondents needed the money.
Just what the result has been, it
is little early to determine, but

Rural Delivery.

In a recent publication to the
rural delivery service, the state
ment is made that an order has
been issued by the postofice de-
partment requiring patrons OF
rural routes to buy in the aggre'
gate so cents worth of stamps
per day in order to have route
continued.
Postmaster General Hitchcock,
referring to the matter today,
said that the department had not
issued such an order, nor had any
instructions to statements been
issued by the department which
could have given rise to the ar
ticle, unless it was that, in con-
nection with rural route which
was not being sufficiently pat
ronized, postmaster had been
advised, as in usual in such cases,
that unless the patronage on a
route was increased and there
was a more extended use OF the
mails by the patrons the route
would be put on a triweekly
basis or discontinued
: Mr.. Hitchcock says it is barely
POSSIBLE that the erroneous state
ment may have originated in
another way: Owing to hard
ships and delays to rural carriers
occasioned by patrons placing
loose coin in mail boxes for post
age when desiring to dispatch
mail, postmasters are directed
by the department to urge upon
patrons the desirability of pro-
viding a supply of stamps in adj
vance of their needs. :
But there is nothing contained

Haaaries OF Taxation.

When you tax the insurance
companies, they make thepolicy-
holders pay it by an increased
rate.
When you tax mortgages, not
the mortgage-holders but the
men who borrow the money, pay
the tax.
When you tax an imported ar
ticle, the foreigner adds the tax
to his price to the American i'm
porter; he adds the tax to the
wholesaler; he adds the tax to
the retailer; he adds the tax to
the consumer-who pays the en-
tire bill.
While this is going on, the
American manufacturer who pays
no tariff tax, adds the tariff to
the price of his products, and
down the line it goes until it
reaches the consumer.
This is what they call PRO
lection to American industries. "
It has been going on for decades
and the American manufacturer
has become many times million
aire through the tariff profit he
has received over and above a
big profit over the cost of pro.
duction of his goods.
The chumps of this country
seem to like it, for they continue
to vote for it.

Arrangement for the coming
big reunion are well in hand,
and everything is moving along
very smoothly, indeed. Great
improvements have been made
in the camp ground arrangement,
and people who come this year
to camp out and stay all week
will find some sort of system
which has been lacking in past
years. This is especially true
on that part of the grounds
known as citizens ground. "
Heretofore there has been a wild
scramble for choice locations on
the bluff row. The ground has
been laid off in lots and blocks
along the bluff, now, and ono
location is practically as good as
another. There will be nice
streets running from east to west
on the bluff section, and every
camper will have an outlet to thu
bluff. The water system has al
so been improved, and there will
be no more mud holes from leaky
hydrants. The pumping plant
has been overhauled and will be
tested the fore part of the week.
Everything is going to be mighty
nice out at Reunion Park, and 1t
ought to be, for this years re-
union is going to eclipse all OF
them.
