A DIVINE COVENANT.

man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy

by amending an agreement to which
she was not party
Woman, remember that the lsraelite
scorned u divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God Likewise
man should remember that 1t is a
dangerous thing to debase woman by

standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes Off the backs of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and un'

Frankfort-Kentucky spring wheat
will be tested out at the agricultural
experimental station as the result OF a
successful trial made by F. c. Dickson,
of Tiptop, with sowing secured from
Duluth. He planted the wheat in
April and in ninety days reaped har-
vest of hard wheat with heads from
three and a half to four inches long,
as compared with heads averaging
two to two and half inches for the
fall wheat. Garnett Zorn, OF Louis
Vile, who sent Commissioner of Agri'
culture j. w. Newman specimens OF
the wheat, said he understood the
same quality of wheat sold in Duluth
for $1.9O. The advantage, besides the
larger yield and higher price com
manded by this wheat, is that the
farmer can SOW cover crop in the
fall and pillow it under in the spring
before planting the wheat, thus in
creasing the productivity of the soil
This is the first known successful eff
fort to raise spring wheat in Ken

TAINTED POLITICS
By Peter Radford.

This country is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time. There is
scarcely a campaign speech made, a
platform demand written or mea-
sure enacted into law that does not
carry the faint of personal gain OF
some politician or political faction
thereof
There is more blue sky in cam
paign promises Of many politicians
running for Office than was ever con-
tanned in the prospectuses of the bold
est. promoters of chimerical business
schemes. There are more secret COM
binatlons formed by politicians in the
name Of my Country" than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden in the phrase BE it en-
acted" than were ever concealed I'M
der any and all other DISCUSSES.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress in
this nation than the greed for gold,
and it ought to be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than political party
that seeks to make junk OF an in
dustry, or cripple business for party
success, through tariff measures, po'
litical supervision and ofttimes de-
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story of the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their consummation
about as far.fetched. Self-gain is the
first law in politics. There are many
men in office today who, If they
could not shake plums off the tree OF
American liberty or cut melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public
The country is surfeiting with patri

lets in defense Of their country, but
there are few men in public life who

representative of the people, who will
permit personal prejudice to dethrone
justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the rancor of q political
campaign to influence judgment car
render capable service.
The preservation of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government, and the Amer
lean voter should seek these attri
butes as implicitly as the Wise Mer
followed the Star of Bethlehem ant
they will often be found to rest over
the stable; the plow or the stan Of
the Shepherd. The surest cure fol
tainted politics and machine rule is
fresh air and sunshine and these i'm
portant elements are most abundant
upon the farm, and when farmers
bankers and merchants are elected t

appear.

IN FIVE MINUTES NO SICK KSTOMACH.
 INDIGESTION, GAS
"PAPE'S DIAPEPSIN" ISN THE QUICKEST AND SUREST
 STOMACH RELIEF.

If what you just ate is souring on your stomach or lies like a lump of lead, refusing to digest, or you belch gas and eructate sour, undigested food, or have a feeling of dizziness, heart burn, fullness, nausea, bad taste in mouth and stomach headache, you can surely get relief in five minutes.
 Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula, plainly printed on these fifty-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will understand why dys- peptic troubles of all kinds must go, and why 1t relieves sour, out order stomachs or indigestion in five min utes. 'Pape's Diapepsin" is harmless; tastes like candy, though each dose will digest and prepare for assimila- ton into the blood all the food you eat; besides, it makes you go to the table with a healthy appetite; but what will please you most, is that you will feel that your stomach and intes- tines are. clean and fresh, and you will not need to resort to laxatives or liver pills for biliousness or constipation.
 This city will have many "Pape's Diapepsin" cranks, as some people will call them, but you will be enthusiastic about this splendid stomach prepara- tion, too, if you ever take it for indf- gestion, gases, heartburn, sourness, dyspepsia, or any stomach misery.
 Get some now, this, minute and rid yourself of stomach misery and indi- gestion in five minutes.
