FACTS IN NATURE, Sot Only Do Wo Get Inspiration From Nature, But Health ae Well. For people who are run-down and nerv ous, who suffer from indigestion or dys pepsia, headache, biliousness, or torpid liver, coated tongue with bitter taste in the morning and poor appetite, it be comes necessary to turn to some tonic or strengthener w'hich will assist Nature and help them to get on their feet and put the body into its proper condition. It Is becoming more and more apparent that Nature’s most valuable health - giving agents are to be fonnd in forest plants and roots. Nearly forty years ago. Dr. R. V. Pierce, now consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y„ discovered that by scientifically extracting and combining certain medici nal principles from native roots, taken from our American forests, he could pro duce a medicine which was marvelously efficient in curing cases of blood disorder and liver and stomach trouble as well as many other chronic, or lingering ail ments. This concentrated extract of Nature's vitality he named "Golden Med ical Discovery.” It purifies the blood by putting the " stomach and liver into nealthv condition, thereby helping the digestion and assimilation of food which feeds the blood. Thereby it cures weak stomach, indigestion, torpid liver, or bil iousness, and kindred derangements. If you have coated tongue, with bitter or bad taste in the morning, frequent headaches, fee! weak, easily tired, stitches or pain in side, back gives out easily and aches, belching of gas. constipation, or irregular bowels, feel flashes of heat al ternating with chilly sensations or kin dred symptoms, they point to derange ment of your stomach, liver and kidneys, which the "Golden Medical Discovery” will correct more speedily and perma nently than any other known agent. Con tains no alcohol or habit-forming drugs. All its ingredients printed in plain Eng lish on wrapper. The sole motive for substitution is to permit the dealer to make a little more profit. He gains: you lose. Accept no sub stitute for "Golden Medical Discovery." Constipation cau*e« and aggravates manv serious diseases. It is thoroughly cured by l>r. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. One a laxative: two or three are cathartic. Deity and the Coinage. The word “God” never appeared in any government act until the year 1SG4. when, at the suggestion of the director of the mint, former Governor Pollock of Pennsylvania, ‘“In God We Trust” was stamped on the copper 2 cent piece. Before that time “E Plu ribus Cnum” had been the motto. Strange to relate, “E Pluribtis Vnum" on coins never was authorized by law. 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 fall pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in \-pound packages, and the price Is the same, Ifi cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because be has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before be puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures *'16 ozs.” Demand Defiance and save much time and money and tbe annoy ance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. A Quorum. A quorum is a sufficient number of the members of an association to leg ally transact business. Unless a quo rum is present no business is rn or der. except to adjourn. A majority of the members constitutes a natural quorum, but the by-laws of an asso ciation may prescribe a smaller num ber. The Arl-lmportant Question. If the mother of a home were to paint a green ring around her nose and dye her hair bine, the first words of her husband and children on com ing home would still be, “is dinner ready?"—Atchison Globe. Why It Is the Best is because made by an entirely differ ent process. Defiance Starch is un like any other, better and one-third more for 10 cents Garibaldi’s Gaiter. According to La Tribnna efi Roma, ■one of the gaiters worn by Baribaldi when he was wounded in the battle of Aspromonte August 28. 1862. has been presented to tbe mayor of Some. Defiance Starch Should be in every household, none so good, besides 4 oz. more for IS cents than any other brand of cold water ' starch. __ Preparation the Wain Thing. Frequently the number of hours spent at work In tbe office are simple inverse proportion to the months and years spent in preparation for the task.—John A.

There are 1.840.280 more men than women in the United States, the same : proportion prevailing in almost every other country. The only exception is in Paraguay, where there are more j then twice as many women as men. This is cue to the fact that some 1 years ago, in a political revolution !' and a war with Brazil and the Argen- 1 tine Republic, tbe men were almost j exterminated. -t Furnace Ventilation in Mines. The furnace as a means of ventila tion is said to be more economical in deep mines than in shallow ones, as it acts by heating a column of air; j the higher that column the greater j will be the difference in the weight of air in the upcast and downcast shafts, and consequently the greater the mo tive power. Africa's "Sneeze-Wood” Tree. One of the natural curiosities of South Africa is the “sneeze-wood" j tree, which is so-called because one cannot cut it with a saw without sneezing, as the fine-rust has exactly the effect of snuff. No insect or werm will touch it; it is very bitter to the taste, and when p'aced in water it sinks. New Species of Bird. Dr. E A.

Would Scratch and Tear the Flesh Un less Hands Were Tied—“Would Have Died But fcr Cuticura." “My little son. when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physi eip.n treat him. but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come on his arms, then an other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than tlje others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year I and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in clothB at | night to keop him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to bt> a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of the Soap and a box of the Oint ment. and at the end of about two months tbr sores were all well. He has never bad any sores of any kind since. He is now strong and healthy, ; and I can sincerely say that only for I your moBt wonderful remedies my precious ctfld would have died from those terrible sores. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon. R. F. D.

J1 ._•__ - <' rOOK OLD GENTLEMAN'S ADVICE Just the Counsel Fond Lover Was Looking For. “The late Bishop Thomas Frederick Davies of Detroit,” said a Detroit man,- “once told me an interesting story of an elopement. He figured in this elopement as the officiating cler gyman. It was in Philadelphia, dur ing his rectorship of St. Peter's. “It seems that the proprietor of one of the largest dry goods houses in t*hiladelphia had noticed for some months the melancholy of his head clerk, a young man whom he held in high regard. “The clerk’s pallor and increasing 'eanness. his frequent sighs and absent-mindedness worried the mil lionaire proprietor. He questioned the young man daily. And finally the clerk admitted to him that he was in love. “ ‘Well.’ said the head, ’marry her. Your salary is big enough.’ “ ’Ah.’ said the clerk sadly, ‘you do not understand. She belongs to one of the first families of Philadelphia and her father is a millionaire.’ “ Well, maybe he wasn't when he j married. You have a good position j and a good name. You are a fair 1 match for any girl,’ said the other. “ ‘It’s no use,’ sighed the clerk. ’Her parents would not listen to me for one moment.' “ ‘Then,’ said the other, ‘elope with her.’ “ 'Do you advise that ?' the clerk asked excitedly. “ ‘Certainly, I do. Is she—do I know her?' “ ‘Yes. She will be at your dance at Devon to-morrow night.’ “ Well, see here.’ said the head, ‘i’ll have my coachman out in front of my gate at 9:30. Rush the girl off into town and marry her. 'i ll arrange with a clergyman for you.’ “ ‘By Jove,' said the clerk. ‘I'll do it’ “And he did. The next night Dr. Davies performed the ceremony and an hour or two later the millionaire found his daughter missing and was .elcgraphing in every direction to the the young couple to come home and all would be forgiven.” QUESTIONS HARD TO ANSWER. i Prospective Jurors Greatly Puzzled By Legal Terms. Some of the strange makeshifts to which a man will resort to conceal his lack of knowledge on any particu lar line were graphically related by Attorney Elliott, who had hard work In his share of the imraneling of the now famous Gilhooley jury. A taTI Swede was brought in. He gave his name, etc., and was then o.uestioned by the attornev as to l°cal terms to be used in the cas°. “What do 1 mean when I say, 'ft trill devolve on the prosecution to produce the pre ponderance of evidence'?” “Veil, what you say evolve, dissolve, I don’t know." came the answer. A German entered and 'his phrase was put to him: “It will he the task of the defense to show mitigating cir cumstances, if such exist.” Hopeless stumbling followed, one thought chasing the other w ith the dignity of Germanized English, which takes a long time to pass any one given point. Bohemians. Poles and many others followed. From some or all these nationalities came intelligent an swers, but some who had never before met the words which now confronted them in awe-inspiring array were hopelessly confused. One day the best of the many origl nal definitions was given by an Irish man. “What.” said the lawyer, “is meant by this, 'The defense will show that there was adequate provoca tion'?” The whole phrase was too much, so the inquisitor 3aid, “Well ^11 me in your own words the mean ing of ‘provocation.’” “It means.” said the wonld-be juror “that a man has done something to me that makes me feel 1 must get busy with him.”—Chicago Chronicle Golf In Cactus Center. We was propped against the dobe of that joint o' Poker Bill's When a tenderfoot was spotted, actin’ queer-like In the hills; He'd a ball of gutta percha. and was puttin' in his licks Jest a-knockin’ it to glory with a bunch o' crooked stick*. Well, we went up there quite* cur'ous. and we watched him paste the ball. Till a-ltchin’ fer to try it seemed to get a-holt of all. And at last Packsaddle Stevens asked to give the thing a swat. And we gatheied round to see him show the sti anger what was what. Well, the golfer stuck the spheeroid on 0 little pile o' dirt And Packsaddle swiped and swatted, but he didn't do no hurt; He barked his shins terrific, and he broke hi# little stick. And when he heard a snicker, his guns came out. too quick. We dropped behind the cactus with some holes clipped in our clothes. While the golfer lor the sky-line waggpd his checker-boatded hose; And when we took home Stevens, ami three others that was hurt. The golf hall still was settin’ on its little pile o' dirt. So we ain't no new St Andrew’s, and we hope no goiter thinks He can cut lo> se here in Cactus with a set of offtmeai links; We go in fer games that's quiet, and stir up no blood and fuss. And down in Cactus Cqnter poker's good enough for us. —Denver Republican. Quit French Islands. Owing to the emigration of 1.000 persons during three months from St. Pierre and Miquelon—islands im mediately south of Newfoundland—out of a total population of 6,500, the French authorities are beginning to fear that the colony is threatened with extinction. The rush of emigra tion is likely to continue. The poor er inhabitants advocate the transfer of St. Pierre by France to Newfound land. Secretary Taft Rides Much.

Williams’ Pink Pills the Tonic That Most People Need for Blood and Nerves. In winter the air of the close rooms in which we spend so much of the time ioeg not fnrnish enough oxygen to the lungs to burn ont the foul matter in the blood. In the cold season we do not exer cise as much and the skin and kidneys do ■ not throw off the waste matter as freely as usual. The system becomes overloaded with poisonous matter, and too feeble to throw it off. Relief can be bad only through the use of a remedy that will promptly and thoroughly purify and strengthen the blood, ami the one best adapted for this purpose is the great blood tonic known as Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. “They acted like magic in my cases” said Mrs. Clam L. Wilde, of No. 377 Farnsworth avenne, Detroit, Mich. “I was weak and thin and could not sleep. My stomach and nerves were ont of or der. I can't describe»how miserable I really was. I dragged through six months of feebleness, growing weaker all the time until I finally hadn’t strength enough to leave my bed. “Then a glad day eame, the day when I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They made me feel strong right away. My appetite came back, I took on th-sh and the color returned to my checks. People wondered that these pills did for me what the doctors couldu't do. I took only six 1 coxes and then I was perfectly well. If I had not found this wonderful remedy I surely think that I must have wasted to death. Believing firmly that these pills saved my life by the strength which they gave me at a critical mo ment, I unhesitatingly recommend them to others.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain no stimulant but give strength that lasts. They may be obtained at any drug store. ___ When a man confesses it is gener ally safe to assume that he thought he was going to be found out. Shake Into Tonr Shoes Allen's Foot-Ease, a powder.

The persistent effect upon the heart of caffeine in coffee cannot but re sult In the gravest conditions. In time. Each attack of the drug (and that means eac4 cup of coffee) weakens the organ a little more, and the end is almost a matter of mathematical demonstration. A .lady writes from a Western state: “I am of German descent and It was natural that I should learn at a very early age to drink coffee. Until I was 23 years old I drank scarcely anything else at my meals. "A few years ago I began to be af fected by a steadily increasing nerv ousness, which eventually developed into a distressing heart trouble that made me very weak and miserable. Then, some three years ago, was add ed asthma in its worst form. My Bufferings from these things can be better imagined than described. "During all this time my husband realized more fully than I did that cof fee was injurious to me. and made ev ery effort to make me stop. “Finally it was decided a few months ago, to quit the use of coffee absolutely, and to adopt Postum Food Coffee as our hot table drink. I had but little idea that it would help, me, but consented to try it to please my husband. I prepared it very carefully, exactly according to directions, and was delighted with itB delicious flav or and refreshing qualities. "Just as soon as the poison from the coffee had time to get out of my system the nutritive properties cf the Postum began to build me up, and I am now fully recovered from all my nervousness, heart trouble and asth ma. I gladly acknowledge that now, for the first time in years, I enjoy perfect health, and that I owe it all to Postum.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. • There's a reason. Read the little book, “The Road to WelMlle” in pkgs. Postum Food Coffee contains no drugs of any description whatsoever. Reptiles in Winter. Frogs and toads can stand freez ing and thawing a few times, though the experience seems to be “wearing.'' as most of them succumb after re peated trials. Just how snakes pass , the winter we do not know. Two or three speciments of the common strip ed snake which we have dug from stone heaps in the winter appeared to be frozen stifT, though a natural re pugnance to the reptiles prevented close observation.—Exchange. Swinging in Middle Ages. In the middle ages swings were hung by an ingenius pullv device. The rope was passed over a groved whepl that was fastened to the ceil ing by a bracket. The one who was swinging was not only pushed from behind by one of his fellows, but was also helped from the fronWby striking with his fot the outstretched foot of another comrade. This sport was a favorite pastime of pages. Forest Area cf Siberia. Siberia has the biggest forest area of any country on earTh, yet the tim ber for the construction of the east ern end of the trans-Siberian railway came from the United States. It was .brought from Oregon, being shipped across to Vladivostok, thence trans ported by rail to the banks of a tribu tary of the Amur and loaded into barges to be towed to its destination. The world’s yearly use of postcards is enormous. Germany uses 1.161,00©, 000. the United States 770.500.000. Great Britain 613,000.000. As to let ters. however, the United States is far ahead of all other countries. The total number of letters posted here during 1903 was 4.109,000.000. - I * Insist on Getting It. Pome grocers say they don’t keep Defiance Starch. This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands I containing only 12 oz in a package, i'which they won t be able to sell first. ■ because Defiance contains 16 oz. for i the same money. Do you want 16 oz. Instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking. A friend in word is not always a ( friend indeed. All Up-to-Date Housekeepers use Defiance Told Water Starch, be cause it is better,.and 4 oz. more of it for same money. The trouble with taking a day off is that you can't put it back.
