Mo,honrne McCain's valedictory at the Ping Bluff High School Frloay ,;oh+ was on such a high order of excellence that many requests nave hoan made that the Graphic publish if MT. Mccain spoke as follows:
 Dear Class Mates:-
 It is hard to realize that today we sra tS take'fin leave of school life and school friends and enter lnto life in it's broader and fuller sense vet it is true. No more shall the measures and duties that await us here be. No more shall our hearts thrill with equal joy and fear at the anticipation of our annual examlna- ton and no more perhaps i'll al me years to come shall we feel again as we do today, that life has held only happiness and peace and content. To me the past like some beautiful landscape grows more lovely as 1t recedes from view.
 How well do I remember the day when I first entered the dear and familiar halls df this Institution and began the struggle with ignorance, often time fondly dreaming of this my graduation day. The intervening years seemed long and full of duties but the tedium and monotony of the present were almost lost sight of ill the anticipation of that brighter time to come, when knowledge should min- ister unto me as a willing hand maid and all the realms of nature, art, and science should be made clear to un- derstanding. As the years slipped by this impression was naturally modi- fled, changed indeed, though I still continued to ldok to this hour as the brightest and most important era of my young life, regarding the manifold hopes, fears and pleasures XQf each recurring commencement as 3nly faint reflex of the glory of this my graduation, when l should have finished my course and re- caived my diploma.
 As look back upon the time that have spent here, all the pain in cident to, it, vanishes as it were leaving in my memory only its better and brighter scenes and so all the happy hours known within these walls the kind consideration of teachers-the close companionship of school friends-crowd fast upon me-rise in my heart and gather to my eyes in tears-that are but an ln- voluntary tribute to the sacred sweetness of this our last hour to- gether.
 X Who shall tell where Fate shall Nnd us in years to come-that SC few shadows have fallen athwart tht morning of our lives should not make Us forgetful of the fact that the three grim sisters who weeve our des' ine' in the dim shadows of that mysteri ous6 siience-where nci sye cal pierce work into every life nor

JUGGLING OF FIGURES.
Is Charged at the Pan-AmePican Conn
mercial Conference.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Sensational
charges were made at the Pan-Ameri-
can Commercial conference today that
the government bureau of statistics of
the department of commerce and la
Dor was issuing misleading statistics
on the export trade of the United
States. The charges were made by
Francis J. Lowe of New York. who
read an affidavit made by a former
confidential clerk of the bureau.
Mr.. Lowe. representing a number of
export merchants of New York, inn
mediately following a speech by o. P.
Austin, chief of the bureau of statis-
tics, announced that the exporters of
New York wanted to know whether
the bureau still was issuing misIead-
ing statistics on export trade of the
United States.
He then read an affidavit made in
1907 by Charles S. Price, for three
years the confidential clerk of the bu-
reau, stating that Instructions were
issued in regard to the export of man
ufactures which would tend to mislead
and that the proof could be shown by
referring to schedule E of the bureau,
in which raw materials are described
as wholly or partly manufactured
and which made a trem endouS differ
ence in the declared exports of manu-
features wholly.
Mr.. Austin denied the accusation,
asserting the full summaries of the
bureau gave accurate and detailed in
formation.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Eff
fectual Cure For 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in.
durable. The usual symptoms are
full or blOating sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, a formation of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inter-
iOr of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inf1amed con-
dition.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in a treat
ment which causes the food to be
readily, thoroughly digested before it
has time to ferment and irritate the
delicate mucous surfaces of the stom-
ach. To secure a prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing
to do and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the
safest and best treatment is to use af-
ter each meal q tablet, composed of
Diastase, Aspetic Pepsin, a little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and not being patent
medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy ap-
petite and thorough digestion will fol-
| low their regular use after meals.
The plan of dieting is simply an
other name for starvation, and the use
of prepared foods and new tangled
! breakfast foods simply makes mat
tiers worse as any dyspeptic who has
tried them knows.
| AS DR.. Bennett says, the only reas-
on can igamine why Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets are not universally used
| by everybody who is troubled in any
way with poor digestion is because
many people seem to think that be-
| cause a medicine is advertised or is
sold in drug stores or is protected by
| a trade mark it must be a humbug
| whereas as matter of truth any
\ druggist who is obServant knows that
