DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hungry
nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and its accompanying mia
cries.
A Phila. lady said:
MY husband and l have been sick
and nervous for 10 or 20 years from
drinking coffee-feverish, indigestion,
totally unfit, good part of the time,
for work or pleasure. We actually
dreaded to eat our meals (Tea is

HIS INFLUENCE FOR HARMONY
Wilson's Aid In Settling Senate Dis
pute Is Good Augury For Future.

There are many reasons why the
Democratic party should be gratihed
at the early settlement Of the senate
dispute. Although it is doubtless true
that in case of an ugly and prolonged
quarrel the progressive senators even
tually would have won their point
against the conservatives, it is much
better that the Democrats in the up
per branch Of congress should reach
an understanding, as such agreement
now will afford ample time to get to-
gether and to work out plan for the
forthcoming session. 1t is intimated
in the Washington dispatches that Mr..
Wilson had a hand in bringing the
progressive and conservative senators
together on committee appointment.
This is an indication that the presi-
dent-eleCt will be a source of strength
and harmony for his party in congress,
and it is confidently expected that
the influence which he has thus early
made manifest will be felt throughout
his administration.
The next congress will be one Of
peculiar personnel The house will be
tremendously Democratic; and while
the senate, in a pinch, probably will
be able to register safely its Demo
cratic preferences, it will present a
situation that will demand the con-
slant and undivided attention of the
members of the controlling party. So
it is doubly apparent why the early
settlement of the Democratic senator's
differences should be welcomed I'm
der the agreement the old members
will reap the reward of their long
service Such senators as Martin, of
Virginia, and Simmons, of North Caro-
lima, will have powerful places. Chair
manships will go mostly to the old
membership here the claims of
these elders terminate. The progress
sive Democrats will be in control
They will say who shall and who
shall not become committee members
and under this new arrangement it is
the committee as a whole-and not
merely it's chairman-that has the
power.

PANIC is NOT COMING
HONEST BUSINESS IS STEADILY
GROWING GREATER.
Does Not Depend on Robber Tarih
or Thlevina Trusts, and Country
Has Confidence In the In
coming Administration.

The financial history OF the laat
few months serves 70 reinforce Presi-
dentelect Wilson's sharp warning
against makers OF panics.
II Is many weeks since Mr. Wilson
was elected. Il Is many months
since his election became a certainty.
In those months, business has steadily
Increased and bank clearings have
mounted higher and higher. There
has never been so large a volume OF
trade continuing month after month
In the west as since the election OF
Woodrow Wilson and downward re-
vi.ion Of the tariff became certain.
From all parts OF the country come
reports that Christmas buying was
never SO large nor done by so many
people.
This fact disposes Of the last ex-
crse panic makers could invent. Il
proves that the country has confidence
In The incoming administration. II
proves that honest business does not
depend on robbcr tariffs nor on thtev-
iis trusts
In 1907 the steel trust said in sub
stance to then President Roosevelt:
Give us permission to break the law
and absorb our only dangerous com
petitor, or we will turn the present
panic into a crash that will bankrupt
the country" Mr.. Roosevelt trembled
al the threat, and personally author
tied the strel trust 20 break the law
ard take possession OF the properties
Of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany at panic prices.
No trust magnate will ever dare go
to Woodrow Wilson with a threat
like that. The country's present pros
perity proves that there is no possible
excuse for a panic, and Mr. Wilson, as
president, will see to it that no panic
is manufactured for trust purposes.

VIEWS OF Ex-SALOONKEEPER
Former Owner Of Many Dramshops
Details Some Of His Experiences
Drunkard 10 Idiot.

Ben Parker, at one time the owner
OF many saloons In Des Moines, backed

Of his former experience:
II defy any man 70 present one

game. have Witnessed the working
man spend for drink the money that

children; have watched the business
man spend money over the saloon bar
that belonged to other people, and
have been particeps criminis to more
woe than the bubonic plague ever
spread In It's most aggressive form.
l tell you that the drunkard is more
to be pitied than censured. He is a
helpless, weak-brained idiot. and is
fostered In his prostration by the evils
OF his surroundings. II all men were
strongminded the saloon would soon
go out of business, but unfortunately
most men are weaker than their en-
vironment and fall before the allure
ments OF vice. II is the absolute ire
moyal of these surroundings that will
assure the betterment of society, and
the way to do Il is to stamp out the
saloon, the brewery and the distilery.
Il will require the united effort Of the

BACK DOOR TO THE SALOON
Made Use of by Liquor Dealers &c
Cast Out Those No Longer Profit
able to Their Trade.

1t is said that it is better to have
the front doors of a saloon open
than it's back doors" Many of us
think that it is much better that
any business which tends to the de-
moralization of a community, should
be done on the sly, and in violation
of law, and amid conditions tending
to disgust and repel, rather than un-
der the sanction of law, and with sur
roundings calculated to attract Gus
toners. But, however that may be,
the open door saloon THAT is, the
saloon that pretends to observe the
restrictions in a license law is al
ways attended by its back door sa-
tellites, or those saloons that cater
to the poor creatures who have been
first lured to ruin by the open door"
and then cast out as no longer fit to
be served at so-called decent bars
