Remarkable New Tonic Removes Con
dition and ~AeeompIishes De-
sired Results.

The sooner a man reaches a state
OF mind that keeps continually before
him. as "A living. active, impelling
force. the fact that good health means
real happiness. the better of he will
be" said one OF the experts who were
herr recently introducing the remark
able new tonic. "Tona Vita" at the
Chas II. Goethe Drug Company's store.
A great majority Of those who called
ut he above drug store TO have the
specialists explain the nature OF their
preparation. frankly said that they
were suffering with nervousness and
were all run down. with no energy or
ambition. These symptoms indicate
only one thing and that is that they
were suffering with the same trouble
which affects more than one-half of
the population. The strain OF modern
life produces the modern plague,
nervous debility.
We are living In n fast age. 4 high
state OF civilization makes us ambi-
tious and in our mad rus TO achieve
success we find ourselves carelessly
exceeding natures limitations. We
do not stop for repairs. until our con
dition Is serious and alarming and we
can't go any further along. Finally.
in the grasp OF debility. we lose our
ambition and in its place assume a
state OF languor. decline and de-
preston.
Nervous debility is a miserable and
most dreaded condition OF the body.
The organs are all disordered and
nine times out OF ten. the system
needs a complete ~rejuvenation. Nerve
food is required. new blood is needed
and buoyant spirits are necessary to
make us feel that we are once more
In a healthy. original condition.
fiona Vita" will relieve those suf-
fering from such complaints as nerv-
business. stomach and bowel troubles,
poor circulation. headaches. pains in
the back. poor digestion. cold feet, de-
preston and dependency. The prepa-
ration is pleasant 10 take, its effect

The terrible fatigue and spirit OF
lassitude. superinduced by the extra

In such a shape that he can stand the
effects OF these hot days.

THE COMING OF CEMENT.

The Romans used form Of cement
or mortar in the building of Rome.
Thy made arches, great bridges. grea;
drainage systems and the Via Romae''
[by the use of a compound of lime,
clay and certain volcanic rocks. The
Greeks used similar substance in
the erection of their buildings.
But it was not until the middle Of
the alst century that Portland cement,
the hydraulic compound that we know
today. was invented. Joseph Apsdin,
the inventor was born 100 years ago
in Leeds. Yorkshire, England. He oe-
came a brick-mason and after several
decades of experimenting perfected
Portland cement.
It's use at first was limited because
of the narrowness of the knowledge
regarding it. In 1880 there were A.
900 barrels manufactured and sold ct
an average price of 50 per barrel.
In 1880 the production was 335 barrels
which were sold at 81 barrel. In
1900, S,4S3, 900 barrels were nranufac-
tured and the price dropped to 81 a
barrel. Nearly nine times that amour.
was manufactured in 1910, the out
put being over 74,o00.0Oe barrels, and
the average price was IS cents a bar
rel.
This is the cement age. Concrete,
which is used now as substitute for
stone and brick, requires Portland ce-
ment. It is said that the Panama
Canal would have been impossible
were it not for the use of concrete and
To date there are five mill
ion cubic feet Of such construction
used in the Panama Canal. Every
home and industry now use Portland
cement. There is no more important
substance in the modern age than
his material whose varied uses are
greater than the years Of its exist
nee.

The fame Of Colonel Richard Love
lace is perpetuated only by a few 70
mantle poems. His career is forgotten
and all Of his works, except a few re
ALLY beautiful poems, are forgotten.
Loveless was an ally of Parliament
in the troubles with Charles I. He
was captured by the royalist forces
and released on $4,000 bail furnished
by members Of Parliament. He was
born in Kent in 1913, was for years =
colonel in the British Army, and died
In obscurfty in 1858.
When he left England to take part
in war with France he was in love
with Miss Lucy Sacheverell and to her
he wrote the poem printed below.
When he returned from France he
found that che had married another.

MIssouRps WEALTH.

Missourrs taxable wealth for 1911
is $l,547,5s3,2ss. nearly d hundred
million dollars more than it was in
1910. This Indicates that the wealth
ofMissouri in increasing with a rapid
ity that will sooH make the state one
Of the richest in the Union.
Tie taxable property is taken from
the assessors books and is suppos-
ediy 40 per cent of the actual value
This would make the actual value of
Missouri's real and personal property
almost four billion dollars. But other
statistics show Missouri to possess
wealth nearer five billion dollars, in
dicating that full 40 per cent assess
ment is not being made
The city of st. Louis has the largest
assessment, having valuation of
$5S4,433.2 .29O. jackson county leads
the counties, It's assessable property
being valued at $t72,236.120.
It is estimated that there are a
million horses in Missouri. and their
value shows no change over the pre-
vious year. The mule, whose "nativ-
ity" is Missouri, numbers 31s,003.
and the value of these mules is al
most fourteen and a quarter million
dollars, nearly a million more than q
year age The total valuation OF live
stock in the state is $ss,141, ,s35. a ma
terial increase over that of year ago.
With an assessed valuation of bill
ion and a half dollars and an actual
wealth Of three times that amount.
Missouri ist among the first states in
the Union. Comparison with the
states of Illinois, outside of Chicago,
Kansas and Nebraska, is decidedly in
Missouri's favor. Mtssourian's may
look to the past with feeling of
achievement and to the future with
the promise of increased prosperity.

fsFoand. The keystone Is President
Diaz and the arch his cabinet that has
Just resigned.
Diaz for three decades has controll-
led the desinies of Mexico. He has
held in his hand the future Of the coun-
try and the lives of his people. Nomi-
nally republic. Mexico has in reality
been a monarchy with Diaz using the
Presidents chair as a throne. But now
the supporters of the monarchy have
drawn away. frightened by bravado
and powdersmoke Of the insurrectos.
Not one of the resigning ministers
was under 65 years Of age and the
younger Mexicans demand a cabinet
OF more youthful men. Minister Lam
antour. however, may remain. The
Iresigning cabinet contains many men
OF ability and craftsmanship. Dur
ing the Diaz regime they have aided
the president in all his work.
If Diaz resigns what does the future
hold for Mexico? A republic that has
never been a republic. Mexico needs
the authoritative hand of an autocrat
to control her. The fevolutionists
are men of destructive, not construct
i've temperament. Many times have
men attempted to obtain for them
selves throne in Mexico and at other
times the people OF that country have
been under the rule Of virtual mon
arch.
The Latin American needs some one
to govern him. The history of South
and Central America Is that of revolu-
ton and chameleon change Of govern
ment. II Diaz resigns what in the
future of Mexico?
