If tho reports of the medical ex

wya Professor Jacob Gould Schurmau,
"has changed form." That's right;
the straight front Is no longer fashion
ible. Tho mere thought of Undo Sam's
ilcbrated Pills for tho Cure of Hesi

for tho bettor In the condition of (lie
ilck man of Europe.
Tho Wall Street Journal has llgured

From the composing-room stand
point of the newspaper there Is one
;asy thing about the Itusso-Jnpunese
war. No one knows how to spell any
f the names, and all that Is necessary
to toss In a lot of J's, It's, l's and v's
ind'end It up with Itch, vltch or ski
nd they have It.
Wo have millionaires who make the
ntolleetual betterment of their fellow
men the means of returning to society
wmi! of that which society lias given
:o ward their fortunes. Too often In
:hese socialistic times their benefac
tions are sneered at as Incidents In a
jrogram of se.f-glorlllcation, yet there
' always a sutllclent number ready lo
'ake real advantage of the opportunl
ias thus afforded, and there Is no
food reason to believe that, In the
main, the Intention to do something
worthy Is not genuine.
Until mankind shall have developed
'lie souse of Intuition to a point, far
ibove nn. I beyond present abilities in
hut direction, dm public will probably
umtbtue lo be deceived Into parting
with its hard-earned dollars for the on
Idling of keen-witted and unscrupu
lous individuals. There should be no
relaxation of tho law with regard to
airworthy business schemes. Indeed,
ho law should be made more strin
gent, if It Is altered at all. Rut It Is
vldent that the law can never render
the public entirely Immune to erratic
i ltd spasmodic attacks of foolishness
villi regard to Investment schemes.
When the now steamship Baltic first
icllcd out of tho harbor of Nw York
It was said (o be "many years In nd
ranco of the port." She was obliged
to clear with 0.000 tons less than her
jargo capacity. It Is hoped that In
'our years the harbor improvements
will have boon sutllelently carried out
o enable her to take her full load.
It was noted that had she sailed out
it high time about l,fi00 tons more
rotilrt have been carried, but even then
'.ho margin between the capacity of the
hlp and what the depth of water per
mitted her to carry would equal the
rr.rgo of an average tramp steamer.
Ships, as well as, reformers and mar
tyrs, may thus como "before their
time."
General statements as to tho prog
ress made In chocking tho ravages of
consumption are always Interesting,
but It Is much better to have speelllc
statistical information upon tho sub
ject Vital statistics have been taken
In Massachusetts sluco IS 12. In all
tho years bel'oro 1S57 the annual death
rato from consumption was nearly or
quite four thousand to a million Inhab
itants. Tho rato has declined almost
steadily ever since. It was about U.200
to a million In W2, less than 2,500 In
181)2, and less than 1,000 In 1003 -tho
lowest point reached up to that Umo,
Corresponding figures for England
show n similar decrease. The sy.steni
of keeping vital statistics has not been
general enough to mako sure that all
tho Slates can present a,s good a rec
ord as Massachusetts, but all the facto
tlmt aro available aro encouraging.
Much happiness comes from regu
lar occupation, provided (ho work Is
somowhat In accordance with the
tasto and one Is not overworked. ISvon
when tho work of Itself Is not Interest
ing, If tho remuneration is at all ade
quate there Is Joy In the activity be
cause of tho thought of Uio comforts
or luxuries Unit tho pay will bring.
President Roosovelt not long ago, ad
dressing a body of laboring men, said
with his usual directness: "Your work
Is hard. Do you suppose I pity you 7
No; not a bit I don't pity anyono who
does hard work worth doing. I pity
the creature who doesn't work, at
whichever end of the social scale he
may be." Henry Ward Beecher onco
fin Id: "The primal curso Is not labor
but drudgery," but even drudgery, n
William C. Gannett has so ably shown,
may be a blessing, If It Is the menus
of leading to something that Is worth
having.
It scorns probable that tho last few
months, beginning wiUt tho Iroquois
disaster In Chicago, and Including the
Genera! Slocum horror In New York
harbor and a .series of most distress,
lug railroad accidents, will mark a pe
riod notorious In the annals of the
country for Its heartrending calamities
Although each of these catastrophe?
had Its own speelllc cause, Uio under
lying reason for many of Utom Is the
same. As a people we suffer from
lack of respect for law. Sometimes II
Is a corporation which neglects to pro
vldo tho safeguards required by stat
utes and ordinances; at other times nu
employe thinks that he can Interpret
his orders liberally disregarding the
plain mandate of authority because it
seems best to him to do differently.
In one of the recent railroad accidents
Uie testimony was given that tho engi
neer often ran into a section of the
track which was blocked by a signal,
but tho engineer pleaded in excuse tha1
he ran slowly, and only as far as i
water tank, where the tender could Ik
filling while he waited for the block
to clear, That was killing two birds
with one stone. But the time thus
wived was not worUi the risk to hu
man life Involved. Owners of proper
ty, corporate ami private, in times ol
serenity often boast of their success
ful evasion of various legal require
incuts, which may be costly and vex
atlons. Many of the requirements seen;
to tho violators of the law to be un
necessary and absurd, but It Is the
business of Uio lawmakers to decide
that. The bestowal of passes und priv
ileges upon olllcers sworn to admlnls
ter the law often acts as a virtual
bribe. Once In a long while the grea.
crash comes, and then the lunocen'
sufTer. Xo mechanism can be nuuk
so perfect that It will not depend great
ly for Its successful operation on Uu
human element The greatest vlrtuf
which the man behind the lever or ir
the signal tower can have is respeel
for the law, for ills orders, for tin
regulations, which are usually right.
Hi Prance and Germany employers fro
qucntly give preference to men whe
have served in the army because itj
discipline makes them valuable. Amer
icans cannot all have the soldier'
training. But a soldierly respect foi
orders should be cultivated In the great
Industrial army, and especially anionic
those who hold the lives of others li
their keeping.

"Charles," said a sharp-voiced worn
an to her husband in a railway car
rlttge. "do you know that you and 1

"Never heard of It," replied Charles.
In a subdued tone.
"I thought you hadn't; but don't
you remember It was that pair of slip,
pers I presented to you the Christina!
before we were married that led tc
our union? You remember how nice
ly they tltted, don't you? Well,
Charles, one day, when we wore golitfl
to a picnic, you had your feet up or

I took your measure. But for tha'
pair of slippers I don't believe we'd

Mrs. E. M. Do Long, of No. 100 West

herself suddenly attacked by rheuma

tho doctor u chunco to help her, which
ho failed to improvo, nud then sho did
Homo thinking and experimenting of hor
own. Sho was so successful that sho
dooms It her duty to toll tho story of her
escnpo from suffering :
"My brothor-in-law," sho nays, "was
enthusiastic on tho subject of Dr. WJ1
linms' Pink Pills as a purifier of tho
blood, and when I was Buffering cxtremo
pains in tho joints of my anklea, knees,
hips, wrists and dhows, mid tho doctor
was giving mo no relief, 1 began tore
flock that rheumatism is a disease of
tint blood and that, if Dr. Williams' Pinlc
Pills are so go mI for tho blood, they
must bo good for rheuniatiam and wcrth
a trial.
" I was in bed half the time, suffering
with pain that cannot bo described to
ouo who has never had tho disease. It
would concentrate sometimes in ono set
of joints. When it was in my feet I
could not walk, when it was in my el
bows and wrists I could not even draw
tho covorlotfl over my body. I had suf
fered in this way for weeks beforo I be
gan using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Two weeks after I began with them I
experienced relief and alter I had taken
six boxes I was entirely well. To mako
euro I continued to uso them nbout two
weeks longer and then stopped alto
gether. For several years I have had no
rcumm to nse thorn for myself, but I
havo recommonded them to others as uu
oxcellent remedy."

An excellent method In the treat
ment of consumptives Is pursued in
Germany. When a sufferer from that
disease is seriously ill lie Is sent to
a governiuentt sanitarium vvbero lie
Is kenb until ho recovers or dies.
In the meantime his family receives
a wceklr nonslon from a fund to
which the patient himself contri
buted when he was in good IicaHU.
By this means the risk of spreading
tho disease Is avoided.

years of ae. Twlco has sho been

Tooth-pullng is a very simple and
paiuless process in China. The den
tist rubs a sccrot pewder on tho
gum over the allccted tooth, and
after about live minutes, the patient
is tnid to sneeze. The tooth then
falls out. Many attorr pts have been
made by foreign dentists to ascertain
the nature of this powder, but none
havo ever succeeded in doirg so.

Cure to Stay Curod.
Wapello, Iowa, Oct. 10. (Special.)
One of the most remarkable cures ever
recorded In Ixmlsa County Is thut of
Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place. Mrs.
Hart was In bed for eight months and
when she was able to Hit up she was
all drawn up on one sldo and could
not walk across the room. Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking of
her cure. Mrs. Hart says:
"Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after' I was In bed for eight months
and I know the cure was complete for
that was three years ago and I have
not been down since. In four weeks
from the time I started taking them I
was able to make my irarden. Nobody
can know how thankful I am to be
cured or how much I feel I owe to
Uoiltl's Kidney Pills."
This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodd's Kidney Pills and niutMcuth
of the suffering the human futility It
heir to will disappear.
