Ever since boyhood 1 have been

masticate my food properly.
1.-The result was that I found myself,
a few years ago, afflicted with all

which interfered seriously with my
business
"At last 1 took the advice of friends
of the heavy meats, etc, that had con-
stituted my former diet.
Il found that I was at once benefited
by the change, that 1 was soon relieved
from the heartburn and the indiges-
ton that used to follow my meals. that
the pains in my back had ceased en-
tirely.
My nerves which used to be I'M
steady. and my brain, which was slow
and Iethargic from heavy diet of
meats and greasy foods, had gradually,
but none the less surely, been restored
to normal efficiency.
Now every nerve is steady and my
brain and thinking faculties are quick
er and more acute than for years past.

PLEA FOR THE BIRDS.
Mrs. Rowley Calls Attention to Cruel
Senseless Slaughter in Topeka.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Before there is noticeable de-
crease in the gas bill to formally an
nounce spring may be on its way, early
some morning while we are waiting
for the necessary courage to leave
those delicious half dreams and COM
mence the day, there will come in the
early hours a timid half-ap ologetfcs
trill of joy. 1t is the Robin Red
Breast. He is telling US that out in
his world. under the gray mantle of
winter the sleeping things are awaken
ing. Then as the days 1engthen and
the air grows warmer his song is more
assertive and he sings positively of the
joy that is to come. Later will come
the shy Oriole. the Blue bird, and some.
seasons If you are very appreciativc
the Red bird. There is more in their
tuneful happiness than Just the melody
of their song; it is the voice of the
great unknown.
In the radical cry for reform the
song of the birds have been drowned.
There are men and boys about town,
plenty of them. that can find no bet
ter past time that shooting at birds.
My yard for years has been the nest
ing place for both Robins and Orioles
but this year the air gun has driven
them away. The early Robin came
with his timid call of spring, then the
neighbors got busy with their little
quarters. Mrs. ]. p. ROWLEY. z

DEEP SEATED COUGH
CURED IN S HOURS

From Boston Press.

Progress in medical compounds never
ceases, and now it is stated by a
prominent medical man that any deep
seated cough or cold on the lungs can
be actually cured in five hours by the
clock Opium and morphine have been
resorted to in the past, as relief meas
ures. But now it is learned that the
system must be treated to rid it of
Inflammation and congestion. A tonic
laxative cough syrup does the work so
quickly and thoroughly as to be almost
magical. What heretofore has taken
weeks to cure can be accomplished in
hours. Get this formula filled or mix

twenty drops every half hour for four

spoonful three or four times a day
until the system is purified and toned
up. Give children less according to

MAY LOSE OFFICES.
Union Pacific May Take Trainmaster
From Salina to Ellis.

Salina, Kan. April 5.-The latest
talk among Union Pacific railroad men
is that the offices of trainmaster and
chief dispatcher are soon to be moved
to Salina from Ellis. Local Union Pa
cific authorities will not confirm the
report as being absolutely true, but
admit the change is likely to be made.
The reason for the change is that
Salina is a much better location for
the offices. Ellis is located on the west
end of the territory which is the main
line from Ellis to Junction City, the
Beloit branch. Plainville branch and
the Mcpherson branch. 1t can be
readily seen that the business could be
handled better from Salina.
The Office force at present consists of
Harry Richards, trainmaster, and one
clerk; ]. L. Chandley. chief dispatch
