Not a drop of Alcohol Doctors prescribe very little, if any, alcohol these days. They prefer strong tonics and alteratives. This is all in keeping with modern medical science.

Senator Beveridge’s well-known predeliction for Roosevelt and Taft prior to the last Republican national convention “queered” him with the old Indiana guard that stood true to Mr. Fairbanks. And now comes President Taft and reads Beveridge out of the party because he voted against the Payne-Aldrich-Cannon tariff bill. If this is not ingratitude, what is it? It seems to be perfectly clear that there is a determination on the part of the leaders of the Anti-Saloon League to keep up their agitation, not for the purpose of upholding the county option law, but tor the purpose of passing a state prohibition law. If the question is injected into the next campaign it will be a direct issue between those who favor prohibition and those who believe in strict local regulation. The county option law has been used merely as a stepping-stone.

President Taft has made a lot of trouble for the Republicans of Indiana. He has put it up to them whether they shall be loyal to him or to Senator Beveridge. Indeed, he goes even further than that,‘for by declaring that the Republican senators who voted against the new tariff bill took themselves out of the party, he puts the Republicans of Indiana in a position where, if they endorse Beveridge's course, they take themselves out of the party. And if they fail to endorse Beveridge they leave him entirely without a political home. MR. TAIT’S EXPENSES. During his journey about the country President Taft is making Republican speeches—that is, he is making speeches which are evidently intended to aid that party as a political organization He is speaking more as a party leader than as president of the United States, And yet it is said that he travels at the public expense, on money, paid into the treasury by men of all parties. This does not look fair. It Is not at any rate,, fair to the millions of people who disagree entirely with the partisan views expressed by the president in his speeches. If he is traveling as a party leader, he should either pay his own , expenses or call on the Republican national committee to pay them. In defending a tariff laW which is regarded as nothing less than a law to give enormous riches to a few at the expense of the many—and traveling at public expense to do it—Mr. Taft adds Insult to injury whether he so intends It «r net.

A TARIFF LESSON FOR WOMEN. Says President +aft in his speech defending the new tariff law: . “The high cost of living, of which 50 per cent is consumed In food, 25 per cent in clothing and 25 per cent in rent and fuel, has not been produced by the tariff.” Says Harper's Weekly, also a Republican authority: “Last year, Mr. Con Sumer and his wife made a New Year resolution. They agreed to keep an Item- <• - u

I Ized account of all their expenses and save S3OO toward a house. They kept half the resolution; that i is, they made the itemized account, ' but not only did the S3OO die an ini glorious death, but the pair just ' managed to see the 31st day of De- ; cember die away before the last cent of Mr. Sumer’s yearly salary had disappeared. Yet this gentleman is a confidential clerk; he gets a salary of $3,600 a year and makes a noble attempt to keep up a good appearance. j ‘‘Mrs. Sumer bought two street Presses and an evening dress during the year, and even Mr. Sumer had no cause to object to the price. For her spring dress she paid S2O, and for ner winter dress she paid $25; while for her evening dress she paid $35. Now for these precious dresses, when they are imported, the customs authorities come along and collect a duty of 44 cents a pound, and in addition 60 per cent ad valorem, which means that Mrs. Sumer had to pay $9.31 duty on the S2O dress and $11.32 on the $25 dress. In other words, if there were no duty on dresses, she could buy these same dresses for $lO-69 and $13.68, respectively; or the two for less than one paid last year for one. “For that evening dress that she paid $35 for she had to disburse a duty of exactly sl4, to that if there had been no duty the dress would have cost s2l. In other words, these three dresses that she paid SBO for cost her just $34.63 in customs duties. The actual cost of the dresses without duty would be $45.37, so that the duties ate up the cost of her evening dress. That $34.63 which she directly paid in duties would have bought an extra dress that she felt she sorely needed, but instead some manufacturer got probably S3O of it and invested it in real estate in his wife’s name.” It is again stated in a newspaper dispatch that “Senator Beveridge will return to Indianapolis within a few days to remain until congress is convened.” If he does this it- will mean that he will stay in Indiana for two whole months. That will just about break Mr- Beveridge’s record. He has spent so little time in this state since he has been in the senate that he is practically a non-resident.

Going Berrying.

The pleasure of buckleberrying is partly in the season—the late summertime, from the middle of July to September. The poignant joys of early spring are passed and the exuberance of early summer, while the keen stimulus of fall has not yet come. Things are at poise. The baying is oxer The meadows, shorn of their rich grass, lie tawny green under the sky. and the world seems bigger than before. It is not a time for dreams nor a time for exploits. It is a time for—fur-well, berrying! But you must choose your days carefully. as you do your tishing and hunting days. The berries “bite best” with a brisk west wind, though a south one is not to be despised, and a north one, rare at this season, gives a pleasant suggestion of fall, while the sun has still all the fervor of summer. Choose a sky that has clouds in it. too. for you will feel their movement even when you do not look up Then take your pall and set out. Do not be In a hurry and do not promise to be back at any definite time. And. finally, go either alone or with just the right companion. I do not know any circumstances wherein the choice of a companion needs more care than In berrying. It may make or mar the whole adventure.—Atlantic.

The Weather.

For most of us the weather is still one of those minor unaccountable powers, too capricious to be either quite divine or quite devilish, whom our savage ancestors used no doubt to placate with offerings. We no longer do that, partly because we have learned to distinguish between religion and superstition. partly because we do not believe that the weather would care for any offerings of ours. But still we keep that primitive lingering idea of the weather as something with personality enough to make us angry with it. and we still get some satisfaction from telling It what we think of it. The poets pay their tribute to good weather and talk about the sun and the ralu nnd the wind as If they had a wonderful nnd beautiful life of thelf own. and their poetry makes us love sun nnd ruin and wind as if they were Indeed living creatures. But there are many prosaic people who would despise such poetry for Its unreality and yet who personify bad weather just as much as the poets personify good; to whom the rain, when they have no umbrella, Is as much an enemy as the cloud was a friend to Shelley. We can all abuse bad weather so well that it is a pity we cannot learn to praise good weather better.—London Times.

It’s a pity when sick ones drug the stomach or stimulate the Heart and Kidneys. That is all wrong! A weak Stomach, means weak Stomach nerves, always. And this is also true of the Heart and Kidneys. The weak nerves are instead crying out for help. This explains why Dr. Shoop's Restorative is promptly helping Stomach, Heart and Kidney ailments. The Restorative reaches out for the actual cause of these ailments—the falling inside nerves". Anyway test the Restorative 48 hours. It won’t cure so soon as that, but you will surely know that help is coming. Sold by all Dealers.

’ ■♦'HtitH-> jj]7 farmers and the railroads are natural partners, o Their interests are inseparably linked. The pros- • • *4 o perity and success of one depend upon the prospero ’ty and success of the other. Moreover, the PROSPERITY OF ALL BUSINESS IS DEPENDENT ♦<*♦♦*»♦♦♦ ON THE FARMER, for the farm is the basis of the nation’s credit and wealth. The THINGS MOST NEEDED BY THE FARMER AND THE RAILROAD, but which are neglected to the detriment of both, ARE A BETTER ACQUAINTANCE AND CLOSER WORKING RELATIONS. These mutual benefits can be attained through dealing directly with each other. Many controversies will arise before important questions can be settled, but they can better be thrashed out between the representatives of the two interests direct THAN THROUGH POLITICAL CHANNELS. We should not depend upon the professional politician, whose interest too often is to CREATE PREJUDICE AGAINST CORPORATIONS AND AGAINST ALL COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL ENTERPRISES, regardless of whether they are honestly or dishonestly conducted. This is a nation of organized interests, and UNDER PROPER MANAGEMENT THE COUNTRY IS BETTER OFF BECAUSE OF THEM. When your products leave you, they are taken by the railroads, which are organ ized. lhey then go to the manufacturers, who are organized, and when they reach you again as a finished product they come from mercantile organizations. THE PRODUCERS OF ALL THIS GREAT WEAL'IH represent the only link in the chain that is not strongly organized. WE SHOULD FIND A WAY THROUGH WHICH WE CAN WORK TOGETHER FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF THE PRODUCERS AND THE TRANSPORTERS. SUCCESS CAN BE ATTAINED ONLY THROUGH CO-OPERATION AND CO-OPERATION ONLY THROUGH SYSTEMATIC ORGANIZATION.

Idleness Affects Morality

By JOHN F. WALLACE.

Tk /V ORA LIT Y is a mental or spiritual state, not physical. I I Ihe more active and occupied the community the I X. higher its standards of morality. A RELAXED CONZ DITION, PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL, BUT ESPECIALLY PHYSICAL, LEADS TO IMMORALITY. In the tropics, as in the temperate countries, you find that THE ACTIVE, INTERESTED POPULATION IS MORAL; THE from the States sent out by the government, corporations and individual employers are men of the highest moral, mental and physical standard. THEY ARE PICKED MEN—PICKED BECAUSE THEY MUST HAVE THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL ENDURANCE TO OVERCOME DIFFICULTIES, BEAR SEPARATION FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND FOR LOVE OF WORK, NOT SALARY ALONE. THESE MEN ARE NOT IDLE; THEREFORE THEY ARE NOT IMMORAL. YOU CANNOT BE OCCUPIED AND IMMORAL AT THE SAME TIME. • But in summer you have peculiar conditions. Decidedly the immorality is due not to temperature, but to idleness—to what we lightly term needed relaxation of the vacation season.

Race Imperiled by Vanity of Women.

By Rev. J. J. SULLIVAN.

f OMEN do not want higher education or culture, if we are X® I to judge from the energy and ambition of that body of them who have wealth and leisure to enable them to get it. They do not EXERT THEMSELVES OTHER THAN TO ACQUIRE A FEW CHARMING SUPERLATIVES, varied by an appropriate giggle, which equipment is sufficient to get them along in polite society. THE MORAL CONDITION OF THE RACE DEPENDS FAR MORE UPON WOMAN THAN MAN. BY KEEPING UP THE STANDARD SHE HAS EVERYTHING TO GAIN AND BY LOWERING IT EVERYTHING TO LOSE. I'he inordinate trivialities of modern feminity do ijot point to desire for mental development, and in losing thpir reverence for older responsibilities in an attempt to overstep their limitations these women have been thrown upon a sea of vapidity and discontent. They like to be and are admired, NOT FOR WHAT IS IN THEM, BUT RA I HER TOR WHAT IS ON THEM. As woman is neither the mental nor physical equal of man, she will be compelled to suffer when she shall have taken from her her only prop, masculine chivalrv.

College Girl’s Ambition Is To Be a “Good Fellow.”

By Rev. Dr. CHARLES B. MITCHELL.

TO I since Paul’s day has there been a greater need for a like I exhortation to youth. Young men are going athletic mad. I v. Even our girls have caught the spell and are PROUD OF 7 THEIR BROWN FACES, SUNBURNT HAIR AND MASCULINE WAYS. THE GIRL'B AMBITION IS TO BE A GOOD FELLOW WITH THE BOYS. HER MANNER IS AS ROWDYIBH AND HER SPEECH AS SLANGY AS HER BROTHER’S. THE MODERN COLLEGE GIRL TALKS A 8 LOUDLY IN THE STREET CAR AND SCREAMS HER COLLEGE YELL IN PUBLIC PLACES AS RAUCOUSLY A 8 HER MASCULINE COMPETITOR. Boys and girls go to college NOT SO MUCH FOR THE MENFAL CULTURE AS FOR THE FUN. One football game stirs up more enthusiasm than all the rewards and prizes for scholarship. The college hero is the leading athbte.

Heart Strength Heart Strength, or Heart Weakness means Nervs Strength, or Nerve Weakness—nothing more. Poeitively. not one weak heart in a hundred is. in itwit, actually diseased. It is almost always a hidden tiny little nerve that really is all st fault. This obscure nerve—the Cardiac, or Heart Nerve —simply needs, and must have, more power, mors stability, more controlling, more governing strength. Without that the Heart must continue to fail, and the stomach and kidneys also bars these same controlling nerves. This clearly explains why, as a medicine, Dr. Bhoop s Restorative has in the past done so much for weak and ailing Hearts. Dr. Shoop first sought the cause of all this painful, palpitating, suffocatIng heart distress. Dr. Shoop's Restorative—this popular prescription—is alone directed to these weak and wasting nerve centers. It builds; it strengthens: it offers real, genuine heart help. If you would have strong Hearts, strong digestion. strengthen these nerves re-establish them as needed, with Dr. Shoop's Restorative “ALL DEALERS”
