OVER THE LINE.
Procrastination is the
Thief of Health.
Nature Is a very wise and careful mother
but sho Is dumb. She speaks by signs.
The man or woman who does not heed her
signs or falls to understand them must
pay tho penalty. Some day thero will bo a
Htef OVOP Ihn linn I.ai.s..,,I .t.l.l .nn.n.
...i... . i ,.i . , i
warning, cease and her penalties begin. !
i-or instance, thero Is a man who for years
never knew he had a stomach, It performed,
us work so perfectly. Some day after cat- j
lng ho has a little sour or bitter rising In
tno throat. Ho does not heed It. Itcr he
feels an uncomfortable fulness after cat
Ins, a distress In the region of the stom
ach, ond perhaps bo Is uncomfortable
nough to wonder whether ho ought not to
"do something" for himself. Hut ho does
not get nny further thon wondering. He be
comes sleepless, loses llesh, nnd has other
warnings of tho development of disease but
he still tries to work. Some day bo col
lapses, drops down perhaps at his task and
'when ho comes to himself In bed ho Is se
riously III. Ho Is paying tho penalty for
his heedlessness of Nature's warnings.
Whenever thero aro unduo fullness after
eating, sour or bitter eructations, belchlngs
nnd kindred symptoms, It Is the sign thnt
dlscosi) Is fastening on the stomach and
digestive nnd nutritive truets. Disease un
less chocked Is always progressive, and tt
Is only n question of tlmo In such cases,
when the health and strength will bo se
riously undermined.
TAKE NO 1USKS.
Tho wlso man or woman will take no
risks but will attend to the llrst symptoms
of disease of the stomach. Doctor I'lerce's
Golden Medical Discovery which has cured
thousands of people who were suffering
from tho most aggravated forms of disease
of tho stomach and Its nllleil organs of di
gestion nnd nutrition may be relied on
quickly ond permanently to cure such dis
eases In their earlier stages. Its action Is
prompt nnd efficient. Its effects aro last
ing. Tho whole body being fully nour
ished Is built up with sound llesh, not with
llabby fat.

Coffee Is no respecter of persons when
lt'comes to tho poisonous effects thereof.
A prominent physician's wife of Monti
cello, lnd., says that coffee treated her
very badly Indeed, giving her a serious
and i.aliifu' stomach trouble, and n
wrotcjicd, muddy complexion.
Her husband is a physician of tho reg
ular school and opposed to both tea and
roffeo, so ho induced her to leave them oil
nnd tako on l'ostum Pood Coffee.
Tho stomach trouble disappeared almost
like magic, and gradually her complexion
cleared up; now she It in excellent condi
tlou throughout.
Thero nro thousands of highly organized
people who nro mado sick In a variety of
different ways by tho use of coffee, nnd
roost of theso people do not suspect the
cause of their trouble. They think that
others can drink coftco nnd are well, and
they can, but about ono person out of overy
threo la more or less poisoned by coffee,
ond this cau bo proved by leaving off cof
fee and' taking l'ostum Food Coffee. In
nearly every case tho disorder will bo
greatly relieved or entirely disappear. It
Is easy enough to make n trial and see
whether coffee U a poison to you or not.

HOW STltENOTH 13 11EST0HHD.
1'coplo tin a rule havo somowhnt of a
vague Idea of tho manner In which life Is
sustained and supported. They know they
must cat to live. But they .do not consider
that when tho stomach nnd digestive and
nutritive tracts ure diseased, the object
of eating, which Is the nutrition of tho
body, cannot hi perfectly attained. Only
part of tho food eutcn Is converted Into
nutrition, and the body Is but partly nour
ished. Yet tho body Is required to do as
much dally as if It were brim? fully nour
ished. Tha result Is tho wasting of tho
flesh, loss of weight which goes hand in
h , , h ,08S f , ,h am, ncrn,
debility. When tho diseased stomach Is
cured by "Golden Medical Discovery," the
food Is digested and assimilated and In the
form of nourishment restores tho strength
and vigor of the body, tho proof of this
being written In tho pounds and ounces of
lost flesh which are rapidly regained. Tho
only way In which physical strength can
bo mado Is by food, digested and assimi
lated. When tho stomach and
Its allied organs arc diseased
the digestion Is Imperfect, the
nsslnlllatlon partial, conse
quently there Is a dally loss of
strength. When Dr. l'lerco
Golden Medical Discovery cures
the diseases of tho stomach mid
other organs of digestion and
nutrition, tho food eaten Is
properly digested and assimila
ted, the body la adequately
nourished and thus Its strength
Is restored.
"I will express my thanks
to you for tho kindly advice
you havo given me In regard
to my case," writes Miss Carrie
J. Wharton, of Dmiuvant, Spott
sylvanla Co., Va. "When I
wrote to you last spring I was
In a terrible state of health.
Hod given up nil hope nf cVcr
being better. I spit up my food
nil tho time nnd It ceomed sour
ns vinegar. I would have n bad
nlr.k headacho every other
week; In fact, my head never
felt clear, and I was perfectly broken down
under tho strain of losing my food, con
stantly. 1 wns nut able to have si physician
attend me, but had read u great deal In
your books of what your medicine had
done for others, so I wrote you and got
your ndvlce. Bought two bottles of 'Golden
Medical Discovery' and the Ilrst doso I took
I folt better. When I had finished taking
the two bottles the spitting up hail entirely
stopped and my bead was much better. I
do not say It has yet made an entire cure
of me, os It required raoro than that for
me, ns 1 was bo very bad, but 1 believe
your medicines nro Just what you have
said of them.
"I carefully read the books you rent me
nnd shall nlways speak a good word for

I havo a chance.
"You con publish this If you think It
worth while. It might Induce Home one

WASHINGTON, March The crisis lit
the Chinese question brought about through
the expiration of the period allowed for
the signature by China of the Manchurlan
agreement was tho principal topic today.
The conviction that tho United States had
done all that It tould to prevent tho con
summation of this arrangement, und to
make cltar to tho public tho complete dis
approval which Is entertained by the United
States government for this sort of secret
treaty-making, It was deemed proper to
give out for publication the following mem
orandum: . "Chlnpse correspondence, March 1, 1901.
Telegraphic Instructions sent to the rep
resentatives of the United States In Deri In,
Vteuua, Paris, London, Home, Toklo and
St. Petersburg.
Department of State, Wnshlngton, I). C,
March 1, 1001. Tho following memorandum,
which was handed to the Chlneso minister
on February 10, Is transmitted to you for
your Information and communication to the
government to which you nre accredited;
"The preservation of tho territorial In
tegrity of China having been recognized by
ull tho powers now engaged In Joint nego
tiation concerning tho Injuries recently
tnlllcted upon their ministers and nationals
by certain ofllclols and subjects of the
Chlneso empire. It Is evidently advantage
ous to China to continue the present Inter
national understanding upon this subject.
It would bo, therefore, unwise nnd dangerous
In tho extreme for China to make any
arrangement or to consider any proposition
of n private nature involving the surrender
of territory or tlnancial obligations by con
vention with any particular power, and the
government of tho United States, aiming
solely at tho preservation of China from
tho danger Indicated und the conservation
of tho largest anil most bcnellclnl relations
between the emplro and other countries, In
accordance with tho principles set forth In
Its circular note of July II, 1900, nnd In a
purely friendly spirit toward the Chinese
empire nnd nil tho powers now Interested
In tho negotiations, desires to express Its
sense of tho Impropriety, Inexpediency, nnd
-'ven extreme danger to tho Interests of
China of considering any private territorial
or tlnancial arrangements, at least without
tho full knnwledgo and approval of all the
powers now engaged In negotiation.
"HAY."
.No Cli i.i ie In Miitim.
AsHUinlng that tho arrangement Is to be
carried out, It Is still the contention of
tho State department that nohlng has oc
curred to change the status of the United
States toward tho open door as applied to
nny part of China, Including Manchuria.
As far as written pledges can commit n
power, Kussia stands pledged to accord to
tho United Stntcs tho open door If sho
tnkes control of Manchuria, either directly
by annexation or Indirectly, but quite ob
effectually, by the means as shown In this
Husso-Chlneso agreement. That Is the view
of tho Stuto department, and that view Is
endorsed by tho entire cabinet.
Tho' administration believes tho secret
agreement between Russia and China Is In
violation of the spirit. If not tho letterof
tho general understanding to which all the
powers subscribed last summer, anil tho
United States government is prepared to
uso all Its moral suasion and Inllilenco to
prevent Its consummation. Further than
that, however, this government Is not pre
pared to go. Tho piesldent und members
of the cabinet believe It Is conceivable that
Kussia is entitled, perhaps, to some rep
uraio guaranties from China for tho pro
tection of Its railroad concession in Man
churia, but not to the extent
which It Is understood tho czar's
government Is to obtain by tho
secret treaty. This government has
information regarding this treaty, and while
thero Is no indication of tho exact nature or
source of tills information, It Is considered
accurate and definite. The president and
cabinet, it is understood, havo no direct in
formation concerning tho imminent rupture
between Russia and Japan, or Its extent,
but tho developments are being watched
with eager Interest. Generally It Is not bo
llovcd hero that thero will be a collision
between tho two powers, us there Is a
strong impression that Japan would not un
dortuko a war with Russia single-handed
and there Is no Indication that she would bo
Joined by another power. (
Tho news from tho Philippines, as com
municated to tho cabinet by Secretary Root,
continues not only reassuring, but much
more favorable than could havo been antici
pated. The president Informed tho mem
bers of the cabinet that ho had sent for
Mr. P. C. Knox of Pittsburg, who was In
Southern California, and that upon his ar
rival hero on Thursday It was his Intention
to formally offer him the attorney general
ship.

storm will probably never bo known. Many
who sustained comparatively trilling Injuries
paid no heed to their wounds In their anx
iety to fut" their scattered houshold effects
and to look after their dead and those who
wero seriously Injured. Tho names of about
llfty Injured havo been obtained, but this
number Is thought to be about half thoso
who wero really hurt. Tho property loss
Is estimated In tho city at from $200,000
to $300,000.
A careful revision of the death list places
the total number of dead In tho city at thir
teen, several persons who were missing and
had been reported dead having been located.
Two negro workmen reported missing at
Irondalc nro believed to be dead under
wrecked buildings. If they nro. dead this
will Increaso tho total number of deaths in
Irondalc to live, making a grand total of
eighteen dead In Birmingham and vicinity.

Paine's Celery Compound Was a
elation to E, G. Machen.
Machen Is one of tho makers of the now
South. Ho has changed tho map of Central
Georgia. Flourishing towun havo sprung up
along tho railroad lines ho has developed.
Hon. Clark Howell, In nn editorial In the
lUhintu Constitution, snld nf him: "Tn tho
peoplo of Georgia, Machen is known prin
cipally by the roads he has built lu tho
South. He has brought nil Georgia within
hand-rench of Atlanta, He Is n public ben
efactor." While nt work on tho Covington nnd Ma
con railroad, Machcn's health failed. After
much useless expenditure of tlmo nnd
money ho wnB Induced by n friend who had
been cured of nervous prostration to try
Paine's celery compound. That tho remedy
was a revelation to him no ono can doubt
who reads .Machcn's letter.
G'J Wall Street, New York.
Gentlemen: I spent many thousands of
dollars, Including eight months abroad, for
nervous prostration, and then found Pnlne's
celery compound the remedy I ought to
havo taken at Ilrst. Doctors periodically
tinkered nt nnd patched mo up so that my
nerves would hold together for n Bhort
while, seemingly JiiRt long enough for my
bank account to get a respite. However,
your mcdlclno has side-tracked the doctors.
My nerves don't seem to require any rest,
and I am In such good spirits these days It
doesn't matter much whether I hnvo any
bank account or not. I havo determined
on Paine's celery compound an my family
remedy from now on. E. C. MACHEN.

ITS
TO HIM.
Rev-
As the pioneer of a new Hyatcm of rati
road building In tho South, Machen knows
what It Is to Uvu under Intense nervous
strain. His Joy at llndtng lu Pntno'n cal
ory compound n rellablo means of restor
ing his nervous eneVgy Is shown In every
lino of his letter to the proprietors of this
greut remedy.
When thousands of men and women in
overy walk of llfo, from tho humblest to
the most famous and honored, voluntarily
go out of their way to tell others tho
great good Pnlno'H celery compound has
done them; when the ablest physicians
nnd thu best informed pharmacists not
only prescrlbo and recommend, but them
selves uso and find health In Paine's cel
ery compound, tho presont great demand
for the spring remedy Is not to bo won
dered at.
Paine's celery compound Is tho ono real
spring remedy known today that nqver falls
to benefit. It cures illscnscn duo to nerv
ous weakness or n bad jitato nf tha blood.
Tho most wldo-awako. Intelligent part of
overy community In this country aro
among Its most enthusiastic; vouchers and
endorsers.
The agreement of opinion among the
best Informed, most observant class of peo
ple. In tho well-to-do homes of our largest
cities, as well us In the moro frugal town
communities, places Paine's celery com
pound far lu advance of any spring remedy.
It is, lu fact, the only spring remedy
over heard of lu tho homes of practising
physicians.

appreciated by fond
parents who guard
the welfare and health
of their children.
