Mr. Dyspeptic, would you not like to feel that your stomach troubles were over, that you could eat auy kind of food you desired without injury? That may seem so unlikely to you that you do not even hope for an ending of your trouble, but permit us t assure you that it is not altogether imposf ible. If others can be cured permanently, and thousands have been, why not you? John R. Barker, of Battle Creek, Mich., is one of them. He says, I was troubled with heartburn, indi gestion, and liver complaint until 1 used Chamberlain's Tablets, then my foible was over."

Ruddiness of complexion was a crime when a gaunt visage was regarded as an outward sign of sanctity. Dr. Echard, writing in the early eighteenth century, remarks: "Then it was they would scarcely let a round faced man go to heaven. If be bad but a little blood in his cheeks bis condition was accounted dangerous, and I will assure you a very honest man of sanguine complexion if he chanced to come nigh an official zealot's house might be set in the stocks only for looking fresh on a frosty morning." Few of the January faces to be seen In a London street, however, would run any risk of drawing down this penalty. London Chronicle. Murder as a Fine Art. It has been popularly supposed that Napoleon was directly and indirectly responsible for more deaths than any one else of modern times. But that estimate must be revised if the statement of Miss Southey in "Storm and Sunshine In South Africa" is to be accepted about the great Zulu king Tshaka, a contemporary of Napoleon, who "Is believed to have accounted for the lives of over a million of his fellow creatures." There still existed at the time of Miss Southey's visit a very old lady who had known the des pot and bad many reminiscences of "ISu Wse Obliae." In Mrs. W..VVd'8 story of Lord Mansfield in her book entitled "Recollections of a Scottish Novelist" the top note of propriety is reached. ' The noble lord's young nephew, seeing him annoyed at a railway station at having no servant at hand to get bis newspapers, ran posthaste and procured them.

The Courier Wooes the Times. Old Miss New Castle Courier, that venerable Henry county spinster, has been acting in a most scandalous way this week. She has actually been flirting with her neighbor. The Times, that sassy publication which brazenly poached on the Courier's preserves about three years ago. Not content with this impudent action the Times also began to preach the doctrines of Democracy, which the Courier regarded as high treason up to the present week, when the old lady dropped the broom with which she has been belaboring the Times and extended the olive branch by reprinting a Times editorial, in which the latter publication threw bouquets to itself, and then the following day editorially complimenting the Times for the success it had made in the field the Courier had once monopolized. But in this editorial, filled with belated expressions of high regard for its Democratic rival, the Courier lets the cat out of the bag in the concluding sentence: "It will be a long time, unless New Castle should take on a phenomenal growth and conditions vastly change, before newspaper readers and advertisers will wish for more than two daily newspapers." To the uninitiated let it be ex-plained that the foregoing extract from the Courier's deluge of praise for the Times was prompted by the announcement of Art Tracey, former editor of the Times and a prominent member of the Washington corps of newspaper correspondents, that he intended to establish a morning newspaper in New Castle which would champion the cause of the Progressive party. The statement of the Courier that there is not room for three newspapers in New Castle is probably correct, but the Palladium, after glancing over the last election results in Henry county, believes the New Castle field is plenty large enough for a good Progressive and a good Democratic newspaper. Probably before there has been many issues of the new Tracey paper the publishers of the Courier will wish they had been a little bit more fair in their treatment of the Progressive party during the last campaign.

Its Up to Mr. Wilson.

This reported opposition of the Democratic senators to the appointment of Col. Goethals, builder of the Panama Canal, as the civil governor of the zone, resulting in President Taft's decision not to send the colonel's appointment to the senate, leaves a bad taste in the average American's mouth. President Taft was advised by a prominent member of the interoceanic canals committee of the senate that Goethal's appointment would precipitate a fight in the upper house, whereupon the president wisely and justifiably decided to leave the establishment of a civil government in the canal zone to the Wilson administration rather than involve Goethals in a political squabble, for he knew that efficient army officer would decline to be a candidate for the post if he had to make a contest against pie-hungry and undeserving Democratic leaders who seek rewards for political services rendered. Does the opposition by the Democratic senators to placing the administration of the Panama Canal into the reliable and expert hands of the man who built it forecast the re-establishment of the disgusting and disgraceful spoils system after the fourih of next March? Evidently such is to be the case if the Democrats in congress have their way. The one hope of the merit system appears to be Mr. Wilson. He has always been its friend, but will he be strong enough to stand off the array of job hunters and their allies in both branches of congress?

A newspaper man of Washington was approached one morning by a friend who wanted to borrow $5. The newspaper man, assuming an expression of great sorrow, pulled 20 cents out of his pocket and remarked: . "I'm sorry, old man, but you've struck me just before pay day, and I'm broke." Having made this crafty excuse, he, mentally speaking, pinned a gold medal on himself for having evaded the prospective borrower. "When is your pay day?" asked the friend. "Tomorrow afternoon," replied the newspaper man. "All right," said the friend. "I'll come around then." And he did. Popular Magazine. Merely a Test Case.

Tests That Will Determine the Quality of the Fabrics. If you wish to find out whether the material sold to you as all wool or all silk is really so make a 5 per cent solution of caustic potash and in this boil your sample of silk or wool. If the entire sample is consumed in the boiling your material 1$ what it pretends to be; If there is a residue that residue is cotton. The caustic solution consumes the animal fibers. If you wish to find out whether the silk that seems to be heavy silk is weighted with mineral burn the sample and the ash will show you how much mineral weighting there is. The pure silk will be wholly consumed. In buying supposed linen goods of toweling or suiting, dip your sample into concentrated sulphuric acid for two minutes and wash it out carefully. The cotton will have been consumed, the linen will have resisted the action of the acid. This test is one that should be made with precaution, S3 vitriol is not a thing to De tampered with. Mary Ileaton Vorse in Success Magazine. Right and Wrong Exercise. The word "exercise" covers a multitude of sins. It is a very loose term used for any form of phys'cal exertion, be it sweeping out a factory, walking home from the office or lifting dumbbells. To say "Exercise is beneficial" is a very inaccurate remark and a very dangerous belief. It is necessary to distinguish between right and wrong exercise. As often as not big muscles in arms, chest or legs are a calamity, for they actually shorten life unless the vital organs are proportionately developed to take care of them. Men are constantly wearing out their hearts and arteries with some form of violent work they call "exercise." If continued they would die of arteriosclerosis. A pretty good general rule for these men to go by is to take no form of exercise after they are grown up that they cannot keep on with until they are old men. J. Edmund Thompson in National Maeazine.

: W9 ! I SS BY W. . Q. j

What are you going to do next vacation time? Generally speaking the average traveling man don't know at this early date whether he will even get a vacation or not. Not so with Larl Holmes better knou perhaps; at Pete Holmes. He has been having visions of an ideal vacation for him- i self and his running mate ""Sally" that I was some dream. The scheme was I to buy a prairie schooner, fully equipped, and with a trusty rifle and three ; "houn dawgs" strike out south and j go and go, and w hen he had gone as far as time would permit then sell out j his paraphernalia and come home via ' a pullrnan. Beautiful plans but about ag feasible as going to the moon. So i thousht Shorty Shreeve at least. How-! ever to make some realism in the j scheme for Pete, Shorty bought a toy j schooner and three toy "houn dawgs" and presented them to him for Christ- I mas. Was he tickled? Well almost j to death. Thought it was just what he was looking for, even thought the ' size was all right and practices daily trying to load himself and his good j wife in the wagon and sings the j "houn dawg" song, while he plans and j plans for the big trip now that he I thinks his outfit is complete. Really ! it is a pitiful case of mental illusion, ! ' aul Pete's friends ought to try and p., i ilia luiiiu uMiiu tiviu isio uvi'UJ or something Berious may result. The smoker was a success last Saturday night in every respect with the possible exception of the number in attendance. The entertairiment was , good and the lunch provided by the arrangement committee was fine. Re- ( ferring to the size of the crowd: The' press has heard expressions from members who do not take an interest . in the social advantages offered by ' the post, to the effect that certain ac- j tive members are guilty of saying that ' some members only came up when j there was something to eat. If any member of Post C is guilty of seriously thinking or saying anything of this ' kind about that part of the memberj bhip that does not frequent the rooms, i jt i8 entirely wrong, and is done with- . out tne knowledge or approval of the! officers of the Post. A member who j w ill so express himself is doing and talking in a way not in harmony with I the Intent of the Post and Buchex-J pressions have no place in the grand . scheme of T. P. A'ism. Every member I of Post C is welcome to headquarters at all times and on all occasions, and especially on nights when entertainments are being given. These entertainments are gotten up for the whole membership and the. luncheons are prepared In the same way, and everyone is expected to come up and partake. Any member who expresses any other kind of sentiment is ex pressing something that does not exist J in Post C as a body. Come up all of ! you as often as possible. We are in receipt of news that A. D. Gorrell, of Marion, will be a candidate for State President at the Fort Wayne convention next May. We are i sure the Indiana Division can make no ' mistake if they elect Mr. Gorrell as their president as be is a man of ability, good address, and a hale fellow well met. He has a number of very warm friends in Richmond. Our congratulations are extended to our fellow member, Charles B.

No, I am not quitting the insurance business. I am In It more thoroly than ever. This being a day of specialization, it is my purpose to specialize in Life Insurance, assigning my Fire Insurance business to Dougan-Jenkins & Company who are specialists in that particular line. I shall continue to represent the PROVIDENT LIFE & TRUST COMPANY, of Philadelphia, a company that stands unrivalled in security and low cost of life insurance. To anyone considering the purchase of life insurance in any of its forms, I respectfully solicit consideration and an opportunity to submit rates and estimates. I wish to advise my Fre insurance patrons that no change will be made in their insurance, and unless otherwise advised I will continue it in the same company it is new in. I believe the merger will afford my Fire policyholders more efficient service, and I can assure them of our cooperation in the securing of adequate rates based on scientific schedules; prompt settlements and a square deal throughout. In recognition of such service it is hoped that continued confidence and increased patronage will result. E. B Knollenberg My cwn office will continue to be in the Knollenberg Annex

CHANGED HIS OPINION. He Guessed Four Times Before He Properly Labeled the Crewd. At a banquet attended by nearly 300 members of a fraternal order in one of the large cities not long ago, given in honor of a citizen who had been elected president of the order, the orchestra, after playing several selection, struck op "Wearing of the Green.' Apparently everybody present began to sing It, almost drowning out the instruments. "It's easy to see." remarked one of the guests, "that this is an Irish crowd." Presently the orchestra began the well known strains of "Die Wacht am Rheln." and the audience sang It en masse. "I see I was wrong," said the guest. "This is a German crowd." A few minutes later the musicians started up "Dixie." There was the usual clapping of bands, and everybody present turned his voice Uose. "Again I was wrong." he said- "This Is a southern crowd." At last the orchestra began to play "My Country. Tis of Thee." It U scarcely necessary to say that everybody stood np and sang with all bis might. "1 take It all back." said the guest. "This is an American crowd." Yet be was right, in one sense, la all four of bis guesses. Yes, this U a wonderful country. Youth's Coni-nsnion.
