a hot discussion in politics by mud

IRONICAL IFS
If some men were to conceal what
they know they would be more popu
lar
If you think life isnt worth living
you should take something for your
liver
If you are ambitious to become a
prominent citizen locate in a country
towrn
If a female alligator could talk she
would probably insist that she had a
small mouth
If a man is smart he can always
manage to catch on and if he is wise
he will also know when it is time to
let go
What He Was Doing
Joseph Jefferson stocked the lake on
his Louisiana farm with bass and
other game fish Not long ago he
came upon astranger fishing in his
lake
See here said the great come
dian what do you mean by catching
my fish
Begorra replied the fisherman
slowly removing his pipe from his
mouth Im not fishing Im teaching
these worms how to swim
A Mean Fling
Well said a young doctor fresh
from the hospital I suppose the next
thing will be to hunt a good location
and then wait for something to do
like Patience on a monument
It wont be long said a friend
after you do begin before monuments
will be on the patients
IN COLONELS TOWN
Things Happen
From the home of the famous Keyh
nel Keeyartah of Cartersville away
down South comes an enthusiastic let
ter about Postum
I was In very delicate health suf
fering from indigestion and a nervous
trouble so severe that I could hardly
sleep The doctor ordered me to dis
continue the use of the old kind of
coffee which was like poison to me
producing such extreme disturbance
that I could not control myself But
such was my love for it that I could
not get my own consent to give it up
for some time and continued to suffer
till my father one day brought home a
package of Postum Food Coffee
I had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions and
gave it a fair trial It proved to have
a rich flavor and made a healthy
wholesome and delightful drink To
my taste the addition of cream great
ly improves it
My health began to improve as
soon as the drug effect of the old
was removed and the Postum Cof
fee had time to make its Influence felt
My nervous troubles were speedily re
lieved and the sleep which the old cof
fee drove from my pillow always came
to soothe and strengthen me after I
had drunk Postum in a very short
time I began to sleep better than 1
had for years before I have now used
Postum Coffee for several years and
like it better and find it more benefi
cial than when I first began It is an
unspeakable joy to be relieved of the
old distress and sickness Name

BIG TRE PLANTING PLANS
Pikes Peak Reserve to Have 50000
to Save the Water
The United States bureau of forestry-has
begun three extensive projects
under its forestry planting operations
for the season Fifty thousand trees
are to be planted in the Pikes peak
forest reserve 300000 along the lines
of the Delaware Hudson River rail
road planted In co operation with the
railroad tbmpany while a similar co
operation with the Northern Pacific
railroad Is under way The Pikes
peak forests are for water conserva
tion while the railroad- projects are to
supply crossties for the roads
In co operation with officials of
New Hampshire agents of the bureau
of forestry have commenced to make
maps of the southern part of that
state which will show the timber
land the agricultural land and the
barren areas suitable for tree-planting
It Is proposed to map 4000 acres
this summer Forest work in the
state will be done chiefly with the
view of advising farmers and owners
of second growth forest as to the best
management for the production of
pulpwood boxboards firewood etc
Another object is to complete a for
est policy for the state covering legis
lation upon fire and forest taxation
also a system to protect timber land
and to encourage conservative forest
management
Under the supervision of the Unit
ed States bureau of forestry a forest
of 35000 trees has been planted on
the slopes of the San Gabriel moun
tains of California for the purpose of
conserving the water of the mountain
streams for irrigation purposes The
entire cost of raising and transplant
ing the new forest has been but 1

MUNICH THE CITY OF BEER
Consumption of Beverage In That
Town 700000 Barrels a Year
Munich is the great beer city of the
world said Fritz Sommersen Mem
phis who has recently returned from
a continental trip There are nearly
6000 breweries in Bavaria big and
little or about one to every 1000 in
habitants The largest are in Munich
one of which produces annually 7000
000 gallons of beer and there are two
others not far behind
The city of Munich drinks every
year 700000 barrels of beer or nearly
two barrels to every man woman and
child in the place and pays more than
6000000 for it Taking the whole
country the consumption of beer is
260 quarts a head of population Mu
nich alone has nearly 300 breweries
there having been a steady increase
in the number for the last 200 years
In 1600 there were sixty breweries in
the capital but the first records con
cerning the brewing of beer date back
to 1150 For several centuries after
that time mead a concoction of water
and fermented honey was the com
mon drink of the people
In 1615 the hofbrau or royal brew
ery was established which is still
a flourishing institution and puts a
great deal of money yearly into the
kings coffers When Gen Grant was
in Munich the hofbrau was the only
one of the citys sights that he chose
to see and he was so well pleased
with the beer that he gave the wait

Theodosia Garrison In Harpers Bazar
Why He Paid the Fare
Three small boys who were in a
crowded car going to a suburban ball
game were discussing the effect the
cost of the trip would have on their
supply of pocket money and reached
the point where they were deciding
if they wouldnt have to walk home
if they had to pay to get into the
grounds
I wont declared one of the boys
Why not asked his incredulous
companions The boy with the five
cent surplus jerked his head In the
direction of a young man on the end
of the seat and explained He paid
my fare
Oh I know what he did that for

ITHE MONTHLY TRIAL
HEADACHE DIZZINESS BEARING
DOWN PAINS
A Woman Tells How She Han Become Well
and Strong after Years of Misery
Due to Irregular Functions
The fact that one woman is bright
eyed rosy cheeked strong and cheerful
while another is pale weak and de
pressed is duo more often than other
wise toitho regularity in the one case
and the irregularity in the other of tfie
functions that are peculiar to the sex
When these are disturbed everything
goes wrong pain and discomfort are
felrall over the body the sensations are
often terrifying
For four years said Mrs Davis re
cently I suffered indescribable misery
from sick headache every mouth ac
companied by fainting spells shortness
of breath and severe pain in my left side
There were also bearing down pains at
times so acute that I could not stand up
and my head was full of ringing sounds
It seemed as if everything was going to
hit me in the eyes I was compelled to
lie down with closed eyes for hours to
get a little relief When I attempted to
arise everything would whirl arouud and
it would grow so dork that I could
scarcely see any object
Couldnt your doctor help you
Five doctors in all treated me but I
got no lasting benefit Besides I used a
lot of advertised remedies The only
medicine however that had the de
sired effect was Dr Williams Pink Pills
and they are truly a godsend to women
I did not have much faith in them when
I began to tako them I found myself
however so much better after using two
boxes that I began to believe in them
They checked right away the decline
into which I was going My troubles
kept lessening and finally disappeared
altogether
How long did it take for a cure
After I had used several boxes my
health was all right I had taken on
flesh and was strong and hearty I feel
today in spirits more like a girl of six1
teen than a woman of my years

Decrease on Selling Fish
Fish because of its tendency rapid
ly to decompose holds a peculiar posi
tion among foods In England It is
the subject of a special act of parlia
ment So long ago as 1698 men knew
the evil consequences resulting from
eating mackerel of uncertain post
mortem age So they passed an act
providing that except during the hours
of divine service this fish could not be
sold on Sunday That act has never
been repealed
Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time because it
never sticks to the iron but because
each package contains 16 oz one full
pound while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in -pound pack
ages and the price is the same 10
cents Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals If your grocer tries to sell you
a 12 oz package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures 16 ozs Demand De
fiance and save much time and money
and the annoyance of the iron stick
ing Defiance never sticks

Man is an open hook only some

wont shake out or blow out by using
Defiance Starch you obtain better re

His Life
Wilbert Thompson never knew a well day he had been constipated all his life many doctors treated him but all failed to even help him
his health failed rapidly and on January 21 1903 Mrs Thompson asked us to suggest a treatment for her husband We thought the case too serious
and recommended that a specialist be consulted but he also failed to help the patient NOW HE IS WELL
Mulls Grape Tonic Cured Him
Mrs Thompson first wrote us as follows My husband aged 23 suffers from sharp pains in his stomach
and sometimes thinks it is his heart Let me know by return mail what causes the pain if you can Mr
Thompson has been treated by several doctors but they have given him up
We promptly advised that a first class specialist be consulted Wequote We want to sell Mulls Grape
Tonic because we know it will cure constipation but 0ca bottle is no object to us when a human life is at stake
and if your husbands case is as serious as you state we suggest you consult a reliable specialist not the adver
tising kind promptly At the same time knowing that Mulls Grape Tonic could dc no harm we advised its
use until a physician could be consulted January 25th Mrs Thompson wrote that a physician had been con
sulted He diagnosed the case as being chronic constipation and dyspepsia His treatment was followed
faithfully but there was no perceptible improvement in Mr Thompsons health Then he began taking Mulls
Grape Tonic and on September 3 1903 we received the following letter from Mrs Thompson
You will remember that I wrote to you last January In regard to my
husbands health It is four months since he quit taking Mulls Grape Tonic for
constipation which he suffered from since birth He took Just 24 bottles of it
and is perfectly cured He is much stronger and has gained considerably In
flesh I cannot thank you enough for Mulls Grape Tonic It is worth its weight
In gold Just SI2 cured him and he has spent hundreds of dollars with
doctors who did him no good It did all you claimed It would
Very respectfully yours MRS W H THOMPSON 801 Nrain St Peoria III
Mr Thompson stopped taking Mulls Grape Tonic in June 1903 He has been completely cured and
has taken no other medicine since that date Almost two years and no return of the disease should prove
a permanent cure
