A. failing tiny nerve—no larger than the finest silken thread—takes from the Heart its impulse, its power, its regularity. The Stomach also has its hidden, or inside nerve. It waß Dr. Shoop who first told us it was wrong to drug a weak or failing Stomach, Heart or Kidneys. His prescription—Dr. Shoop’s Restorative —is directed straight for the cause of these aliments —these weak and faltering inside nerves. This, no doubt clearly explains why the Restorative has of late grown so rapidly in popularity. Druggists Bay that those who test the Restorative even for a few days soon become fully convinced of its wonderful merit. Anyway, don’t drug the organ. Treating the cause of Bicknesß is the only sensible and successful way. Sold by all dealers.

LETTER FROM lOWA. Industry, lowa, March 10. Editor Democrat—l will add a few more lines to your paper about our storm, as it was the worst that we have had yet. The snow Is two feet on the level, and drifted so that it is impossible for teams to travel the roads. It begun the Bth and lasted until’ the 10th, about 2:30, and then it began to slow down. Trains were eight hours late. Interurban cars did not run from Tuesday noon until Wednesday afternoon as the wind and snow affected this line. The wind kept up one continual roar as if a cyclone was at hand, but it is not very cold, just being below freezing. S. < fe. GALBRAITH.

EASY TO MIX THIS.

Simple Recipe for Kidney or Bladder Trouble or Rheumatism. What will appear very Interesting to many people here is the article taken from a New York daily paper, giving a simple prescription, which is said to be a positive remedy for backache or kidney or bladder derangement, if taken before the stag' of Bright’s disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A well-known druggist here at home, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good prescription pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He further stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic afflictions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be a splen did remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and backache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most Important organs and helping them to sift and Alter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering. Those of our readers who suffer can make no mistake in giving it a trial.

7,500 GO OUT ON STRIKE IN PARIS

Telegraphers and Girl Operators Stop Work. OBJECT TO AN OFFICIAL Postal Department Wires Practically Out or Commission and Messages Are Going From France to England by Way of America—Check For |5,000 Sent From British Union to Help Their Gallic Fellow Craftsmen. Paris, March 16. —A general strike of the telegraphers of the postofflce department has been declared. Orders have been issued immediately for the withdrawal of the 7,500 operators emthe department. The unanimously adopted resolution recites that the strike action is taken as a protest against the arbitrary and tyrannical administration and that the decision was precipitated by an insult addressed by M. Simyan, under secretary of posts and telegraphs, to the officials of the association. The girl operators employed in the telephone bureaus In the afternoon had unanimously decided to abide by the decision of the night meeting, while 350 mall clerks, due to leave on out going trains during the course of the evening, also decided to await that decision. The government put forth every effort to preserve international communication, but the centra] telegraph station was demoralized and practically out of commission. Both telegraphic and telephonic communication with London was greatly interrupted. Some of the London correspondents are sending their dispatches by way of New York, to which both land lines of the cable remain open. The English postmen have telegraphed $5,000 to the strikers.

The Real Ruler.

I wish I were the weather man V To say when it would snow And whether weather would be fair And when the winds would blow. To touch the button and produce A regular full blown storm, To have it chilly if.l chose Or change around to warm. I’d be the finest weather man^_ That ever raised a breeze Or caused the peaches In the sun To ripen on the trees. If friends were going to the woods To pas!» the time away, I’d take a note of it and have A made to order day. If there should be a pretty girl Who once had turned me down. Who passed me with a haughty air Or chilled me with a frown. I think I’d order up a shower Some sweet revenge to get When she walked out where I might see Her brand new hat get wet. In winter time I think I would Select my dearest foe Whose sidewalk ran around a block And make him shovel snow. If one who claimed to be a friend Could just make good his case, Td have the sunshine all the year On four sides of his place.
