No Man Is STRONGER

strong man is strong all over. No man can be
strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its
consequent Indigestion, from some other disease
of the stomach and its associated organs which inn
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach
is weak diseased there is loss of the nutrition
contained in food, which is the source of all physical
strength. When man doesn't feel just right"

MORALS OF THE TARIFF.

"As n result of my observations
upon the different tariffs ef the world,
find that wherever there is pro-
tectiye tariff il has built up system
of morality of its own, and / never
found its rules of morals were in ac-
cord with any other rules of morals
religious or secular, ever framed in
this world. 1t has built up n system
of morality in this country that
not only Il wicked, but it allows to
be done by authority OF law what
the man who does it, would never
do in his private capacity as citi-
zen. 1t permits man not only to
cOvet his neighbours goods, but to
take them away from him by force
of law. When we consider that we
collected IA little over $500 ,O00, 900
last year, and the people OF this
country pay in taxation to these
protected interests s., 100, 200 600, |
think ii is about time we are con
sidering whether We are not taxing
the American people little too
far
How does this sound coming from
one of the great leaders of the Re-
publican party? Does il not indicate
that the fairminded Republicans see
the breaker trhead of their party and
want to call halt before ii Is ever
lastingly too late?
John =. Dolliver, senator from
Iowa, and one of the ablest men of
his party used the above in IA speech
in the Senate last week. Would he
have used such language did not the
exigency of the case demand II?
Never! for he loves power as well
as all other Republicans, but he
sees into future. He can see the
revolt that will come in Republican
ranks and the hocking of the plain
people to the Democratic standard.
The people are long-suifering but
there always comes time when
they will not stand the last straw
That time is nearly here ow.-St.

THE CONTROL OF HOG CHOLERA

1.-The Control OF Hog Cholera Is
the subject OF a very valuable
bulletin prepared by DR.. j. VIC on
naway, professor of Comparative
Medicine aud Veterinarian OF the
Missouri Agriculture Stations, Col
lege of Agriculture, University Of
Missouri. This bulletin has just
been issued by the Missouri State
Board of Agriculture, and may be
had free by addressing Secretary
George Il. Ellis, Columbia, Mo.
DR.. Connaway is native Mis-
sourian, and Is today generally rec
ognized as the greatest living au-
thority on hog cholera. Hcnot only
knows what he is writing about, but
he tells what he knows in such n
plain, easily-understood way that
the reader IL not left to wonder or
to guess Mt the meaning. During
the last few months more than 5000
hogs have been treated with the
"immunizing serum" aud nj this
number % per cent. have been saved.
The only trouble has been that DR..
Connaway has not been able tn meet
the demands for the serum, but with
increased facilities he will be able to
attend to larger per cent. Of calls.
In his latest bulletin DR.. Con-
naway has so fully described every
symptom of hog cholera that any
farmer, after reading the descrip-
ton, will be able to readily recognize
the disease. There are also num-
Der of good illustrations which serve
to make palmer, il possible, the
text.
One Of the best features of the
bulletin Is the strong common sense
side. Effective as is the remedy
used by DR.. Connaway, farmers are
urged not to rely entirely upon it,
but the nesesssity of proper mea-
sures for prevention and control is
pointed out. We're there no other
reasons why such bulletin should
have been issued, this one alone Is
sufficient. II every Missouri far
mer will follow the suggestions made
in DR.. Connaway's bulletin and
when necessary make use Of the
minimizing serum" 1t will mean n
saving OF thousands, perhaps mill
lions of dollars, annually.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Mary Jane Horton HOlk,
wife Of A. r. Halk and second daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph and Eta
! TullOck- Horton, was born February
18th, 1883, and died June Dist, 1909,
at the home of her parents, near
| sunlight, Mo-, after over two years
intense suffering from consumption,
aged III years, 3mOnths and - days.
Mrs. Halk was born and reared in
! Washington county, Mo-, and in
the year 1901 she professed n hope
in Christ, was baptized and united
with the Mount Zion Missionary
Baptist Church, and lived consis-
tent member until death. Four
| years ago while she was staying ut
Leadwood she met Mr.. A. T. Halk
| Of San Antonio, Texas, and ON
April eth, 1906, they were married
and went to Texas. When there
only few months she fell from II
flight of stairs, crushing In her left
side and causing the disease from
which she died.
Though sick and helpless most all
her married life, her kind, devoted
husband made life an ideally happy
one for her, in trying to supply her
every want, They were living at
Butte, Montana, when he brought
her home to her parents last Febru-
airy, as 1t were to die and be buried
with loved ones.
Mr.. Halk was at Butte when the
death angel came and took her from
her suffering; and it was touching
scene when he arrived Thursday af-
ternoon and found that her sweet,
cheerful smile could never more
greet him, and that the last farewell
could never be spoken, but that her
feeble spirit had taken its flight to
that home where no farewell tears
are shed. We commend him to her
Friend, who was her ever comfort
ank stay in all her dark hours and
at last led her out more than con
queror over all.
Her funeral was conducted by her
pastor, Rev. Tom Hill, from the
family residence Thursday after
noon in the presence of large au-
dience of sympathizing friends, after
which his remains were inferred in
the Horton cemetery near by. She
selected the songs to be sung ut her
funeral, ain That City, and "We
Shall Know Each Other There"
She leaves, besides her husband and
little son Edgar, her parents, four
brothers. two sisters, and host of
other relatives and friends to mourn
her death. May our Heavenly
Father deal gently and scatter the
clouds which overshadow so many
hearts on account of this loved one
who has left us.

.SENSA TIONAL FINISHES IN
 SOUTHERN LEA CUE HISTORY

Little Rock Ark, April 3-(Special.)- Probably no league in organized baseball has had so many close and exciting races and finishes as has the Southern league It is only since the advent of President Kavanaugh as head of the league that any record has been kept of the league races Of the struggles before the season of 1903 there Is absolutely no official record -.t..-.-
 However, the five dusty volumes which Secretary Clark Miller so carefully treas ures in his office tell eloquently with their columns of dry-looking figures of con- tsts that attracted the attention of all Dixie---of money, energy and brains ex- pended with a lavish hand-all for the sake of bringing to one particular city piece of bunting and the glory that goes to a champion.
 The records in Secretary Miller's office show that there has been but one year in which the championship was not in doubt right up to within a brief period from the fnish-sometimes not until the last day.
 In 1905 New Orleans took the lead on May 24 and held 1t to the finish. During the greater part of the season the Peli- cans had a big lead, but at the finish Montgomery was coming fast, although the rally was too late to endanger New Orleans. chances.
 Campaign of 1903.
 The record of the season of 1903 does not start until June 26. On that date Memphis was in the lead with a percent age of .GS1. Little Rock was second with GIT; Montgomery, third, and Nashville, fourth, were close together. more than 100 points behind. Atlanta, Birmingham, Shreveport and New Orleans, in the order named, were pretty far behind. Through the early part of July they raced, witt
