The Ruin of Nations.
History teaches us that the ruin
of the greatest nations was caused
by perverted appetite, by over
indulgence. The prosperity reach
ed such a stage that, the people re
fused to eat, ordinary, strength
ening food, but. were seeking
delicacies all over the world. They
overate, became lazy, fat and un
lit for work. Then came the end.
This should be a warning to all of
us." We can see, in this country,
how people, as soon as they reach
a certain stage of prosperity, try
to ruin their digestion. We
should eat good, nutritious food
and never neglect the slightest in
disposition, knowing that Triner's
American Elixir of Hitter Wine
will, in all such cases, give quick
relief and new strength. It is a
very good remedy in diseases of
the stomach, the liver and the in
testines. It will clean out the
body and keep it clean. At drug

or elect John II. Morehead la pledged
not to accept a legislative appropria
tion lor the running expenses of the

or's office and filed in the state aud
itor's office showing the amount need
ed for the coming biennium contains
in item for $5,500 for the maintenance
of the mansion, Including servant
hire, $1,000 for traveling expenses and
Jj'Ji for contingent outlays.

direction of the governor, also calls
for $10,000 in salaries and $2,000 to
meet the ordinary expenses of the gov
ernor's office.
