Only a Penny
To Get Well.
I ask only a postal, stating whioh
book you wish. No money is wanted.
I want you to know how nerve
power alone operates upon bodily func
tion. If some organ is weak, and fallB
in its duty, I want to tell you how
more nerve power will correct it. 1
want you to know, as I do, that a per
nlanent cure can come in no other way.
I have spent my lifetime on this
problem.
I will send with the book an order
on your nearest druggist for 6 bottles
Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Every drug
gist keeps it. I will ask you to accept
-the Restorative and test it for a month.
If it cures, pay $5.50; if it fails it is
free. I will pay your druggist myself
for it.
This offer in five years has been ac
cepted by 550,000 people. Practically
all of them had difficult troubles, long
endured. Most of them were discour
aged. Yet 39 out of 40 who received
those six. bottles paid for them. They
paid because they were cured, for
otherwise no druggist asks a penny fov
it.
I cannot better prove my own faith
In this remedy. No physician can do
more than pay for your treatment if it
fails. Nq other does so much. Won't
you' write a postal to learn if I can
help you.
Mild cases, not chronic, are often
cured by one or two bottles. At all
druggists.
Simply ctato which
book you want, and
address Dr. Bhoop,

Arizona's Hope.
Arizona has petitioned for statehood
many times during the thirty-eight
years of her territorial organization.
But in pleading before" the coming ses
sion of congress that she may be
come No. 46 in the sisterhood of states
she means to make her most deter
mined effort. A committee headed by
,the copper magnate William C. Greene
has been appointed to carry on the
campaign at Washington, and tho
neighboring territory of New Mexico
u will join, perhaps not all unselfishly,
in the struggle.
Arizona, judged'by the precedents of
past admissions, has the requisite
population for a state and has gained it
rapidly. The census of 1870 accounted
for 9,658 people; that of 1880 gave
40,440; in 1890 the figures were 59,620;
in 1900 the total was 122$31, a larger
population than that of Wyoming and
almost three times that of Nevada.
By the time of the next census Dela
ware may be left behind by her far
western sister.
.Aside from the practical considera
tions of population and unquestioned
wealth, Arizona may urge a sentimen-'
tal .reason for the favor she seeks. The
aame year, 1903, which will mark the
centennial of the Louisiana Purchase
will bring the semi-centennial, of the
Gadsden Purchase, through which was '
settled the southern boundary line of
both Arizona and the republic. It
would be. at least poetic justice If state
hood were to give a golden-jubilee turn
to the end of the fifty years. From this
point , even the strongly republican
congress may look with lenient eyes
upon the rather persistent democracy
of this aspiring territory. New York

Transient Troubles.
Of every trouble under the sun,
This truth is writ in gold,
Long ere tho passing year is run,
'Twill be as a tale that Is told.
You sit in the shadow and- mourn to
' day,
But you'll dry your eyes tomorrow;
There's never a trouble that comes to
stay,
And there's ever joy after sorrow.
So lift your head, and look up to the
sky,
So valiantly take the road,
There's gladness waiting you bye and
bye,
Soon you will drop the load.
God sends us our troubles one at a
time,
But our joys make haste in troops;
There's a place to rest, If you'll only
climb,
And the coward it is that droops.
No matter how dark the present hour,
There's sunlight to follow the rain,
The barest field with bloom and flower",
And the birds come back again.
There's never a trouble that's here to
stay,
You'll dry your eyes tomorrow;
You. may sit in. the shadow and mourn
. today
But bliss will banish sorrow.

the possibility of mistakes. Their re
ports are all made under oath and
the owner and all assistants sign those
reports under oath. Under these offi
cial records for the past year Alta
Posch, a yearling, made 16 lbs. 3.4 oz.,
Almeda Luecko, 2 years old, 18 lbs. 10.1
oz., Katie Spofford Corona, 3 years old,
26 lbs. 0.4 oz., Lilith Paulino DeKol,
4 years old, 28 lbs. 3.8 oz. Under the
same method of examination with tho
food at a fixed price charged to the
cow, Rijavieta Clothilde, a three-year-old
cow, made butter at a cost of 4.1
cents per lb. for seven consecutive
days.
At our state fair tests tho Holstein
is usually the winner. Thero, amid
the noise and confusion, a cow never
does her best; for a milch cow wants
quiet and to be at home. At our last
state fair my cow Sharon Queen, a
three-year-old, made over 2 lbs. butter
a day. I believe the Holstcins have
won flrat'prize in butter tests at our
state fairs for over 15 years. The Hol
steins are a very large, healthy breed
of cattle. As noted, my last four herd
bulls have each weighed over a tou.
Owing to thoir slzo they are capable
of eating and assimilating tho hay
and roughage of our farms and while
they are not a beef breed, they are
better for beef on account of their size
than any other dairy breed.

The Holstein Cattle.
Mr. J. C. Doubt of University Plaie,
Neb., a breeder of high grade Hol
stein cattle,- recently gave out an in
terview in which he set forth the good
points of the Holstelns. The readers
of The Commoner will be interested
in the facts wMch he presents. He
says:
"The black and white cattle called
Holstein Priesian come from Frlesland,
Holland, where they have been fam
ous for their milk, ,butter and cheese
qualities for centuries.
"They have made little Holland a
very wealthy country. They yield
from 30 to 100 lbs. of milk per day and
while the milk does not contain as
large a per cent of butter fat as milk of
breeds giving a smaller quantity, they
will make more butter than any other
breed,
"The Holstein Frleslan association
has offered prizes for cows of the breed
making the beat yield of butter in
seven consecutive days under an exam
ination made by officers of agricultural
colleges and experiment stations, or
authorities vouched for by such officers
who supervise the process of milking
and test the quality and weigh the
milk, guarding at every step against
A Wrong Step.
Collector Bidwell, of the port of Now
York, Is one of the most conscienti
ous and efficient servants in the em
ploy of tho federal government. Yet
while his public record is without a
flaw, President Roosevelt has deter
mined not to reappoint him at the end
of his term, which will shortly explro,
and to appoint State Senator Strana
han. Behind the executive decision
lies an Interesting story which Wal
ter Wellman relates for the informa
tion of the country:
Some time ago it became necessary
or Collector4 Bidwell, whom the pres
ident has declined to reappoint, to
dismiss fifty-one customs Inspectors
who were under suspicion of having
accepted bribes from passengers ar
riving with big trunks full of good
things purchased in Europe. Among
those discharged happened to be a
few personal friends of Governor
Odell. Mr. Odell asked Collector Bid
well to reinstate them. Mr. Bidwell
declined. Mr. Odell persisted, and be
came so urgent that Collector Bid
well refused point-blank, adding:
"Not for a million dollars would I
reappoint these men, because I believe
them to be crooked. I could not face
Secretary Gage at Washington and
explain why I had done soj'
Now It bappens that one of Pras
Ident Roosevelt's closest friends, per
sonally and politically, in the stare
of New York Is Governor Odell. The
President and Governor have virtu
ally formed a political alliance. Gov.
ernor Odell asked President Roose
velt not to reappoint Mr. Bidwell,
whose term expires In a short time,
and, although Secretary Gage and
Senator Piatt and many other men
of high standing and influence fav
ored the retention of Bidwell, he Is
permitted to go. His successor Is a
straight and competent man.
After the death of President Mc
Klnley, on the way from Buffalo to
Washington, Governor Odell pledged
his support to the new president'The
state of Now York will stand as sol
idly behind you as the state of Ohio
has stood behind the late president'
ho said. To please the maker of this
pledge and enable him to keep It, cht
President has deferred to his wishes
in tho disposition of tho collectorshlp.
No ono denies that Mr. Bidwell ha?
been energetic, honest, fearless and
competent. Ho is to be dropped not
for any fault, but for his virtues. Tho
objection to him is that ho did njt
betray tho government he is sworn to
servo by keeping in the service cor
rupt Inspectors. Thero was a timo
when Mr. osovolt would have char
acterized the dropping of such a man
for such a reason as an Injury to tho
public interests and an outrage upon
decency. Now that the ambition for
a nomination has taken full posses
sion of him, he forgets his former
principles and eagerly consents to
what he would have scorned and con
demned. As Bidwell is to be shelved
because he would not tolerato dis
honesty to please influential politi
cians, it is a corollary that his suc
cessor will not be burdened with
like scruples, and that the next ad
ministration of the collectorshlp will
be grossly corrupt. Now that tho
test hao been applied, it developed that
President Roosevelt is for a principle
while it is to his personal advantage
and against it when it is not. He
was for cvil service reform, when it
offered him. tho best means of pro
motion; he is against it now that tho
spoils system Is better adapted to hi
ends. If the President shall continus
as he has begun in the Bidwell case,
he will make friends of tho manipu
lators of conventions, but forfeit tho
esteem and confidence of the million
who have admired him because of
their belief in his steadfastness to
high ideals. Telegraph-Herald (Du

by the individual
before consump

who have been af

been perfectly and permanently cured
by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. It cures the cough,
heals the lungs, and builds up the body
with solid flesh.
"When I commenced taking- your wedi&aes,
eighteen months ago, my health was completely
broken down." writes Mrs. Cora 1. Sunderland,
of Chancyville, Calvert Co., Md. "At times I
could not even walk across the room without
pains in ray chest. The doctor who attended me
said I had tune trouble, and that .would never be
well again. At last I concluded to try Doctor
Pierce's medicines. I bought a bottle f Gold
en Medical Discovery,' took it, and soon com
menced to feel a little better, then yon directed
me to take both the ' Golden Medical Discov
ery' and the ' Favorite Prescription,' which I
did. Altogether I have taken eighteen botties
of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' twelve of the
'Favorite Prescription,' and five vials of 'Pel
lets,' I am now almost entirely well, and do all
my work without any paia whatever, and cam
run with more ease than I could formerly walk.
