BRYAIM'S The ToKi of 1'ntriofiKin. At the first reunion of the Spanish wnr veterans of Nebraska held at Lin coln Thursday , June 4 , Mr. Bryan de livered n brief address , taking as his sub ject. "The Test of Patriotism. " Below will be found a brief extract from Mr. Bryan's address : Meeting again the men'with whom I served for a few months ten years ago. my memory recalls many pleasing inci dents and many sad experience * connected with the service. Among those who are missing 1 recall with great distinctness my lieutenant colonel. Gen. Victor Yif- fliiain , who some four years ago answered to the roll call of the Great Commander. Those who served with me in I he Third Nebraska will never forget him. Of all the members of our regiment lie was the liief in all that related to army life and he won his way into the hearts of the ' members of the j'cgiment by his kindness and consideration for all. We miss him to-night. \ would not take a great deal for what I learned about human nature in the army. Military service iriu s out the 'best , as well as the worst , that is in men , and there is no place where we c.iu learn how to know each other more completely. 1 became well enough acquainted with many of my regiment to feel sure that if rlut.v required them to march straight up to the cannon's mouth , they would have exhibited as much courage as any of the heroes who have fallen upon the battle field. I think I learned in the army what 1 never could have learned outside of the patient suffering endured by those wiio spent a lingering illnos in the hospital. Those who die upsn the battle field are inspired by the fife and drum and PHS- iained by the ardor of their companions , but those who are fever stricken and who. a bat < * * field and every day there is n call t- ' ; -.en'ice. War might be describe' ! as Hi- surgical operation that severs a limb i -.t might be saved by earlier treat ment In proportion as we discharge our civic ities in time of peace we can pre vent the resort to war. The world is moving avay from bloodshed and the time will yet come when men will be able to settle their differences without killing each other. Lincoln , in his' incomparable speech at Gettysburg , spoke of the unfinished work to which the nation should consecrate itself til * . ; work of preserving the govern ment of the people , by the people and for the people. This is a continuing war. The war of government , the war of so ciety , the war of civilization is never ended. Each generation finds an unfin ished work when it outers upon the stage and leaves the work still unfinished when it departs. The generations which hiive preceded ours have done their duty , they have given us a wonderful heritage. Those who have worked in peace and those who have striven in war liavo alike contrib uted to the great structure which the rev olutionary patriots planned. Our nation is die world's leader in all that goes to make up a great nation and a high civil ization and we. the people of the nation , mu < t prove our patriotism as generation after generation is called upon to meet new problems and new difficulties. The Spanish war removed the prejudice that the Civil War arous"d. The sons of those who wore the blue .ind the sons of those who wore the gray marched with each oilier ton yeurs ago and vied with each other in their loyr.lty to the govern- m nt and to the governir iit's ideals. The soldiers mingled together without regard to section , or parly , or creed and proved that in a great emergency our people are patriots by every test that can be applied. ta ! fact init the word "pressing" wa subs'iuued for the word "pre.xfnt. " This may have been a typographical error , or the reporter may have written the word carelessly. I : will be noticed also that the word "leading" was inserted before the won ? "issue. " The two words ' 'press- ins : * ' and "leading" change the entire meaning of the sentence. Mr. Bryan stat ed that it would not be a I'I'KSKNT issue ; that is. not an Issue to be consid ered nt this time , and that he did not in tend that it should be made an issue by those who were using it to escape from the real issue. Tiien the word ' 'rates' was added , and this limits the railroad question to the subject of rates , whereas the term us"d .by Mr. Bryan , "effective regulation of railroads. " covers othei things besides rates. It will be seen , therefore , that the reporter by using three words tht : Mr. Bryan did not use. gave the opposition pre s a chance to misrepre sent Mr. Bryan's attitude. If Mr. Bryan had actually said that the railroad ques tion was not a pressing is-nie. it would have been equivalent to saying that it was an issue but not as important as som * other , but to .say that it was not a present is < nie was equivalent to saying that it is not an issue at all at the present time. If Mr. Bryan had said that it would not be a leading issue it would have infant that , it would have been a minor issue , but he said that it \\o ld not be an issue at all , which is aa entirely different proposition. There is no way to prevent these mis representations ard this is only an illus tration without a refusal to answer questions. The newspapers are doing a great work and the repre. > entativcs are , a a rule , conscientious and anxious to report correctly , but it is not always pos sible to have an interview taken down in longhand and the memory is not infallible. With the very best of motives a newspaper - paper man may unintentionally omit a word or a phrase or unintentionally add a word or phrase , and the phrase omitted or added may change the entire sense of the sentence or may uive unfriendly critics a clKiiuv to draw wrong conclusions from the interview. Mr. Ur.ian has stated time and time again that the question of government ownership of railroad ? is not an rue aw7 MERGENCY"CURRENCY ! . < r - < I \ rs'&z : ' " ' ' : - .y.- ' ' - < % - . , i > * I i ! . : . * r . - . ij t' I ia : In -i \i iH ' ; ; The A5drich = Vreelasid law in a i3 t sheii f r rJJ JJ JJv \v vK !

I never knew so much of sickness as I earned in the hospitals and my experienci vith the sick pugjrested an iinprovenu-nt ivhich I think mitdit he made in our mili- ary .service. The chaplain is n necessary iart of the army and the difference hc- .v/cen tlie religious form of various Churches Las convinced me that we oujjhi o have t\vo chaplains in each regiment instead of one. I had in my rejoini-nf , oth < Catholics and Protestants and I ioarned hew jjreat a solace it is to a lying ; soldier to have one of his faith 1v ivith him to administer the last rites and vI peak I words of hope and comfort- him. The Protestant clergyman can not at such Limes fully meet the needs of the Catho lic soldier and the Catholic priest can not it such times fully meet the needs of the Protestant soldier. Can not our govern ment in its abundance supply the needs f both and contribute in this way to the peace of the last hours of those who en list in their country's service ? The moral needs of those in health ould be more fully met also by this recos- litSou : of. religious preference and surely is important that the morals of our soldiers should be guarded and cared for IK well as their physical well-being. Those who are called upon'for military .orvice prove their patriotism by an obvi- 3iis test , for no one can doubt the love of ountry of those who are willing to ' ' > for their country. I can not , however , illow such an occasion to pass without uiwstini : that a man's patriotism can lie estcd in other ways than by army service. : ! -lation has grown up since the Civil tt'ar and until the Spanish war tln-se lever 1-ad occasion to respond to a call to inns and only a few of the present gen- Tat ion were needed in the Spanish war. would be sad indeed if only those vould be regarded as lovers of their coun- ry who had had the occasion to don the jujforni. The real test of 'the patriot is be- found in his willingness to perform ivliatever duty his country calls for , and a country like ours every year furnishes _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ And I have no doubt that in rieeting th ; issues presented by peaceful progress we . - hall ha equally successful in proving that Vncarh our minor differences there is : i unity of purpose that binds us all logetho- ind insures the triumph of every rightcou.- cause.

Th hu YOU'RSi TOO TKINJ Even Stight Catarrkal Dsraxgtmente ( f the Stomach Produce Acid Fer mentation of the Food. Ifs Stomach Catarrh Some people are thin and always re main thin , from temperamental rea sons. Probably In such cases nothing can bo done to change this personal peculiarity. But there are a largo number of people ple who get ttiin , or remain thin , who naturally would be plump and fleshy but for some digestive derangement. Thin people lack in adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of fat. fat.Fat Fat is derived from the oily constit uents of food. The fat-making foods are called by the physiologist , hydrocarbons. This class of foods are not digested in the stomach at all. They are digested in the duodenum , the division of tlie ali mentary canal just below the stomach. The digestion of fat is mainly , if nofc wholly , the work of the pancreatic juice. This juice is of alkaline reac tion , and is rendered inert by the addi tion of acid. A hyperacidity of the digestive fluids of the stomach passing down into the duodenum , destroys the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur poses. Therefore , the fats are not di gested or emulsified , and the sysfcemiis deprived of its duo proportion of olry constituents. Hence , the patient grows thin. The beginning of the trouble is a catarrhal - tarrhal condition of the stomach which causes hyperacidity of the gastric juices. This hj-peracidity is caused by fermentation of food in the stomach. "SVheu the food is taken into the stomach ach , if the process of digestion does not begin immediately , acid fermenta tion will take place. This creates a hyperacidity of the stomach uiceg which in their turn prevent the pan creatic digestion of the oils , and the emaciation results. A dose of Peruna before each meal hastens the stomach digestion. By hurrying digestion , Peruna prevents fermentation of the contents of the stomach , and the pancreatic juice is thus preserved in its normal state. It then only remains for the patient to eat a sufficient amount of fat-forming foods , and the thinness disappears and plump ness takes its plase. TO PSSVEN3 ? A WOULD FALffilE.

But v/ituin a year of his .statement the alarming condition he predicted has been reached.

'Tho United States has a surplus available for export of four hundred and ninety- threc millions of bushels , against a minimum requirement of over live hun dred millions. We can supply the de mand only by .selling from our euu rgen- cy supply. " The population of the United States increases much -more rapidly in pro portion than the acreage added to farm ing lands usxMl for the great primary crops. Since 1SOS the area devoted to wheat growing has been increased by only a few thousand acres ; corn acre age has increased a little more ; but , comparatively speaking , only a trifle ; oats are * on a par with wheat.
