ICO MAN IS STRONGER THAN HIS STOMACH/ Lot the greatest athlete have dyspepsia tad his muscles would soon fail Physi cal strength is derived from food. If a raan has insufficient food he loses strength. If ho has no food he dies. Food is con verted Into nutrition through the stom ach and bowels. It depends on the strength of the stomach to what extent food eaten is digested and assimilated. People can die of starvation who liavo abundant food to eat , when the stomach tV ? ass9ciato organs of digestion and nutrition do not perform their duty. Thus tho stomach is really the vital or gan of the body. If the stomach Is "weak" tho body will bo weak also , because it is upon the stomach the body relies for its atrength. And as the body , considered as a whole , is made up of its several mem bers and organs , so tho weakness of tho body as a consequence of "weak" stom achwill bo distributed among the or pins which compose tho body. If the body is weak because it is ill-nourished that physical weakness will be found in all the organs heart , liver , kidneys , etc. The liver will be torpid and inactive , giving rise to biliousness , loss of appetite. weak nerves , feeble or irregular action of heart , palpitation , dizziness , headache. backache and kindred disturbances and Weaknesses. Mr. Louis Pare , of Quebec , writes : "For years after my health began to fail , my herwl trcw dirzy , eyes pained me. and my stomach was tore all the time , while everything I would eat would seem to llo hoary like lead oa my stomach. The doctors claimed that It was sympathetic trouble due to dyspepsia , mnd prescribed for me. and although 1 took their powders regularly yot 1 felt no better. My wife advised me to try Dr. Plerce's Golden Medical Discovery and stop takine the doc tor's medicine. Sho bought me a bottle and we soon found that 1 beeran to improve , so I kept up the treatment J took on flesh , my stomach became normal , tho digestive oreans worked perfectly and 1 soon bejran to look like a different porson.

We suffer from the spirit of unrest , which frequently prompts us to ill consider and take thoughtless action often merely for the sake of doing something. We are inclined to applaud the manvho does , not so much because he accomplishes anything useful as because he accomplishes something , be it good , bad or indifferent. This spirit of unrest permeates our whole national life , political , social , educational. Contentment bids fair to be banished from our existence. He who is content is sneered at as being without ambition. Contentment and happiness are synony mous , but we refer to both in a struggle for the obtain able. Were our ambitions laudable our state of mind would be most comfortable , but unfortunately we scarcely know what we are striving for. THE ARMY AND ITS DETRACTORS. By Secretary of V/ar Taft. The statement that the American army is "rotten" is the result of an ex treme prejudice and hostility angainsk an organization concerning which the detractor has no knowledge. Our army is in an excellent state of effi ciency. It is lacking in men for ser vice at the coast defenses and in that respect must be increased somewhat in the next two or three years. In all respects , man for man , our army will challenge comparison with any army BEGBEIAXV TAFT. The army is rather a skeleton army than an organization for the Held. It is much larger in cavalry and artillery in proportion to tho Infantry than it would be for campaign purposes. It would take compar- atirsJy short time to increase our infantry arm , and a much longer time to increase the cavalrj * and artillery I branches of the lino. The army has not had the educa tional benefit of extensive maneuvers that large European armies have , and perhaps there would be less experience on the part of our officers in commanding forces in the field than there would be among European commanders. In the Philippine uprising it became necessary to divide the army into GOO posts , and thus to have a great many Independent commands by captains and lieutenants , and in some cases by noncommissioned officers. This was a great strain upon the discipline of the army , but it showed a capacity of the American soldier , the noncommissioned offi cer and the company commander to exercise successfully the responsibilities of separate commands in a way , I ven ture to say , that could have been equaled in no other army. The constant offer of better wages and greater oppor tunities to improve themselves furnished in the United ' FARMER REFUSES $16,500 PENSION MONEY. William S.

The man who thinks 'may be a greater patriot than the man who does. It has been said that no amount of means and light will avail unless accompanied by action , which Is the same as saying that the brain would be useless without the power of ex pression. We have defined action as the two prizes of thought The good old motto. "Act in haste ; repent at cumulated until it amounts to ? 1G- 500.

ELLIOTT. he replies : "What claim have I on the govern ment ? I did only my plain duty , and am not entitled to any reward for that" Elliott was a private in Company H , One Hundred and Forty-seventh Indi ana Infantry , and was six mouths in service during the Civil War. For several weeks he was in the hospital at Harper's Ferry , suffering from ill ness that resulted in a disability that became permanent. This , he says , could have happened to him at home as well as in the army. " is in the de "Yes , my pension lying partment unclaimed , " said Elliott. "It amounted to $15,000 three years ago , and I suppose it ambunts to $10,500 now. I do not need the money , neither does my family. If I felt that I had earned the money I would take it , but I am unable to x.jure out how I am entitled to it I have a large and pro ductive farm , well stocked , and every thing to make me comfortable. I have earned these conveniences by daily labor. "Suppose I had taken the $30 a month pension and I and my children had lapsed into idleness , as so many would under the circumstances ? The gift would be a curse instead of a blessing. " President Eliot's Simple L.ife. President Eliot , of Harvard , lives a life of the greatest possible simplicity. After seventy years of life , more than lialf passed as head of the university , he declares that one of the most de- , eirable satisfactions of his life comes from having had nothing to do with the attainment of wealth. Erect , light of foot and alert as a youth , he eats well , sleeps well , walks rapidly with his shoulders thrown back , and is as eager to get new facts as "when he en tered Harvard as a student fifty-six years ago. "I am satisfied with the rewards of my life , " Jbe said , simply.

Tuberculosis injures the individual but con fers resisting power on the race. Every race is resistant to every disease strictly In proportion to its past experience of it. Thus Englishmen , who have suffered much from tuberculosis , are more resistant to it than West African negroes , who have suffered less , and much more resistant than Polynesians , who have had no previous experi ence of It Englishmen , under given conditions , contract the disease less readily , or , if infected , recover more frequently , or , if they perish , do so after a more pro- longer resistance than negroes and Polynesians. In America , when negroes were first taken to it , the dis ease prevailed to a comparatively slight extent , especially amongst the agricultural population ; but the conditions slow ly'became worse , and the descendants of the early slaves underwent concurrent evolution. To-day they are able to persist in the Northern cities , though their death rate there is abnormally high. But though a constant stream of negro slaves and soldiers was poured for centuries into parts of Europe and Africa , they have left no trace on the popu lation. All perished in a few generations , the elimination being so stringent as to cause extinction , not evolution. It is tolerably certain that a fresh immigration of African negroes to America would end disastrously. It is not necessary , of course , to believe that variations are never caused by the direct action of environment Pre sumably the insusceptibility of the germ-plasm is due to evolution , and evolution is never perfect It is only neces sary to believe that in circumstances normal to the specios the insusceptibility is so high that the amount of variation produced by the direct action of the environment is so minute as to be negligible that is , not a cause of racial change. HOW TO MAKE EAPPY MARRIAGES. By Mrs. T. P. O'Connor. Marriage is an institution of the State ; there fore she should put it out of the bounds of possi bility that people can marry each other in two days or a week. How many marriages would be broken off if the State required a three years' engagement before people are married ? After all , if a woman wants to become a nun in two months , no convent in the world will accept her. She must be a novice for two or three years ; during that time she has to make an examination of her conscience every dajand to find out if she has a vocation for a nun. But women and men marry without the slightest prep aration , without the slightest thought of the future , while dame Nature laughs at her most odd pairings. She wants her world peopled , that is her part ; the men and women who are ill-suited to each other are not her affair. Girls and boys at school should be taught to look upon marriage as the most beautiful , the happiest , the most desirable and the most possible thing in the world. Boys should be taught to keep their minds and their bodies pure for the state which they will probably enter , and to have a sense of protection and loyalty to girls ; and girls should be taught industry , self-sacrifice and responsibility for the married state. WHEN MEN DO HOUSEWORK. When men more furniture they .will Uave In tho house a set of adjustable trucksNo man will ever stand by the side of an ironing board until his heel and bore holes in the base of bones push through up his legs to his spine his brain. He'll fix up a steel winger , heated by artificial means and run by some power other than that lodged In his strong right arm. Tho necessi ties , the conveniences , even the luxuries that will'make play out of labor will'find a place in the home when man usurps the throne. But there isn't a man who is more than half the time ignorant of the lifting and tugging and hard labor that his wife is doing. Because he is norant he has to be told. When a wife asks her husband to buy a horse to run her washing machine or to turn her wash wringer he will begin to wake up. It costs money to fit up a house with labor and strength-saving devices. But it costs money to buy drills , drags , roll-top desks , etc. , and to hire office boys and janitors. If father can afford to hitch an expert stenographer to his correspond ence , a woman is Justified in demanding an air plant to sweep her rooms , and improved machinery to do the heavy housework.

He is 50 years old. As a boy he was an office boy in a railroad office , where he learned telegraphy. He be came successively operator , assistant Who ever heard cf a woman hav ing a horse hitched to her wash wring er ? Yet that is tho way man would make work easy if he had housework to do. He would hitch a horse to it , press a button or lift a lever. He ' and scrub him wouldn't lift and tug self into an early grave as long as there was at his command horse pow er , water power and electricity. To use more strength than is abso lutely necessary to accomplish a task is reckless extravagance. If men had the heavy furniture to drag about ev ery sweeping day , would they strain their muscles and break their backs over it as women do. No , indeed , dispatcher , assistant conductor , and conductor in the service of the New York Central. In an interview he said he does not believe in government own ership of railroads and that in his be lief a railroad operative gives the best service after he has reached 40. lie Knew Mankind. A group of microbes were convers ing on the lip of a pretty girl. Suddenly a young microbe burst in upon them , greatly excited. . "Doomed ! " he cried. "We are doom ed ! Mankind lias discovered that kiss ing is the chief cause of onr multipli cation. " But the others laughed easily , and an old , wise microbe said : "Don't worry , lad. Despite that dis covery ' , we'll still continue to multiply at the'same old rate. " Thera is a difference : A woman can laugh if a man shocks her , but wiien a' woman shocks a man , ho couldn't laugh if some one tickled him. The patch is apt to come off in a patched-up quarrel.
