Record-Herald dispatch says: "Al
bert P.Hopp, a saloon keeper, was
admitted to citizenship, although it
was shown that he transgressed the
law In that he kept his place open
on Sundays, the court said: 'The
Roman maxim that tho voice of the
people is the voice of God is just
as'true today as it was then. Any
legislature that r establishes police
regulations in defiance of public sen
timent must suffer the humiliation
ofif seeing their mandate disregard
ed;' The court pointed to the fact
that 75 per cent of the population
of Milwaukee was foreign born and
that a majority of its 350,000 inhab
itants were of German extraction.
He said that in Milwaukee there
were 2,000 saloons, and that, al
though the Sunday closing law had
been on the books for forty years,
no attempt had been made to enforce
it. 'The old German adheres with
tenacity to the habits and customs of
his fatherland,' said the court, 'and
goes to the saloon on Sunday, not for
the purpose of revelry and debauch,
but as a meeting place where he may
meet his friends and neighbors, to
sip his beer and smoke his pipe.' "

No Man is Stronger
Than His Stomach
A strong man is strong all over. No man can bo
strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or from some other disease
of the stomach and its associated organs, which im
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach
is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition
contained in food, which is the source of all physical
strength. When a man "doesn't feel just right,"
when he doesn't sleep welt, has an uncomfortable
feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond
at, he is losing tho nutrition needed to make strength.
Such a man should use Dr. Pierce 8 Golden Medical
Discovery, It cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood.
Invigorates tho liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes
the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH 2WD STRENGTH TO
THE WHOLE BODY.
You can't afford to accept a secret nostrum as a substitute for this non
