Rupture Kills
7 $00 Annually
Serea tkoasewl persoas each year are laid
away the burial certificate being marked
Rupture." Why? Because the unfortunate
ones had neglected themselves or had bocn
merely taking care of tbealgn (swelling) of the
affliction and paying o attention to the cause.
What ore yoa dolngT Are you neglecting
yourself by wearing a truss, appliance, or
whatever mbis you choose to call it? At beat,
tho truss is only makeshift a false prop
against a collapsing wall -and cannot bo ex
pected to act as more than ft were mechanical
support. The binding pressure retards blood
circulation, tints robbing the weakened
muscles of , that which they need most
nourishment. But science has found a-way, and every truso
sufferer in the landia invited to make a FREE
teat right in the privacy qt their own home.
The PLAPAO method is unquestionably the
most scientific, logical and successful self
treatment fer rupture tke world has ever
known.
The PLAPAO-PAD when adhering olosely
to the body cannot possibly slip or shift out
of place, therefore, oannob chafe or pinch.
Bof E as velvet easy to apply inexpensive. To
be used whilst you work" and whilst you sleep.

BRYAN MISQUOTED
(The Catholic Columbian, Columbus,
Ohio.)
My dear Columbian; On August
6th The Columbian contained a clip
ping frdm "America," credited by
that magazine to the "Salt Lake
Tribune," charging William J. Bryan
with having made the following un
kind reference to the Vatican in one
of his letters:
"But the lights are out in tho capl
tol, so to speak; the advocates of
wine and beer have come up against
wail. Tiiev nave uuum.cu
noses, regardless of color, and they
find that they can not hope to poll a
majority, probably not a third in
favor'of any wot plank, no matter
how ambiguous its terms m igh t be.
Nothing having the odor of the Vati
can can hope ULrtcftlvo the approval
of the ".onvention."
I have been a constant reader of
the "Commoner," Bryan's paper,
from its first issue to the present
llZ and never saw a gy"e uwtar
Uable reference to tue Latnouc

words of commendation' of the

I think that no Catbqlic paper can
afford to do tho humblest citizen an
injustice, and I foel that this unjust
