Manager Rosewater of the Department of
Publicity and Promotion left last night for
Washington to endeavor to Induce President
McKlnlcy and the members of his cabinet
to participate In the peace Jubilee celebra
tion early In October. He will first call on
the various members of the cabinet , Includ
ing Postmaster General Smith , who has al
ready consented to deliver the oration at the
exposition on Pennsylvania day October C
and secure thtlr co-operation In his appeal
to the president. He will go from Washing
ton to New York to call on Chauncey Depcvv ,
president of the New York commission , who
will deliver the oration on New York day
October 6. If his mission Is successful the
exposition wll attract more attention from
the great papers of the country than any
amount of personal solicitation could possi
bly secure.
When asked whether Dr. George L Miller
would acompany him to Chicago , N'e.v York ,
Philadelphia and Boston , Manager Rosewater -
water replied that Dr. Miller had declined
the Invitation for two reasons. In the first
place ho had stated that he is out of touch
with the present generation of publishers
and managing editors , and second , because
he does not think that any material good
could be accomplished by his visits. Dr.
Miller had called OP him and stated that he
docs not share the opinions of G. M. Hitch
cock and other people who have recently
made a raid on the Department of Publicity
on the ground that the exposition Is not ad
vertised. Dr. Miller had further stated that
Mr. Dun , a government revenue officer who
could not bo prejudiced one way or the
other , and who has attended all expositions
from Chicago to Nashville , declared that no
other exposition has been as well advertised
as this except the Columbian fair , and had
It not been for the war , which has dis
tracted public attention from the press
notices and general advertising matter , no
one would have dared to find fault.
IIItclivocU'N Exhibition of Gnll.
"By the way , " added Manager Rosewater ,
"I am decidedly amused at the recent dis
play of conceit by my amiable colleague ,
Hitchcock , who , after parading the streets of
Omaha behind a prancing team with a col
ored footman , Is now cooling his heels at
the foot of Pike's Peak. That letter of ad-
\lce to the exposition managers is the most
subllmo piece of coagulated gall that has
over been exhibited in these parts. While 1
am putting in fifteen hours a day to ad
vertise the exposition , this wonderful genius
tells us that nobody cast of the M'ss. ' ' .slppl
knows anything about the exposition or has
ever heard of It. He cites a letter written
by one of our eminent directors who is af
flicted with stomach trouble and liver com
plaint as proof that no one In Boston has
heard of the exposition , when , as a mrtter
of fact , the Boston papers have been for
the last year discussing its merits. You
will remember the controversy In the Bos
ton papers over the letter of Miss Dutcher ,
to which Architect Walker took exception.
Hitchcock has probably forgotten , or does
not know , that Mr. Llndsey and mvself
were In Boston twice last winter , and my
mission at that tlmo was to promote the
work that , resulted In the appropriation
made by the Massachusetts legislature. The
action of that body was discussed In every
Boston paper foi weeks before the lieuten
ant governor and members of both houses
of the legislature started for Omaha. The
state papers were full of it and all Ne.v
England was stirred up over what they
thought was a waste of money that might
bo needrd to carry on the war. The de
parture of the delegation for Omaha and Its
return were heralded all over New r-.gland ,
The party was accompanied by press - representatives
resentatives , who wired long jpecl.il dis
patches from Omaha , describing their rrccp-
tlon and what they saw. On their return
the members of the delegation were nter-
vlowed , not only by the Boston papers , hut
in Springfield , Worcester , New Bedford ,
Salem and other Massachusetts towns.
Since that tlmo the Boston papers have
printed columns of Associated Press reports
descriptive of the flower parade , the Indlar
congress and , important events at the expo-
Bitlon.

"The mean and despicable spirit In vvhlcl
Hitchcock's letter and suggestions ar <
penned , " continued Manager Rosewater , "li
emphasized in his sneers about the expos !
tlon being no better known than the Slou :
City Corn Palace and his assertion that th <
net result of the expenditure of $65,000 bi
the Department of Publicity Is tndlfferenci
and Ignorance of the exposition among east
ern papers. When a man lives In glasi
houses he should never throw stones. As i
matter of fact , $9,000 of this was squanders
by Hitchcock himself by his mlsmanagemen
o' the Department of Publicity , In which hi
proved himself such a wretched failure
When he turned over the department th
Bum and substance of his efforts was a craz ;
quilt scheme to brltig 60,000 militia ti
Omaha at an expense of $3,000,000 , and Jus
three state appropriations and commissions
with one of which Iowa ho had nothing t
do. In six months after the dcpaitment wa
turned over to me I bad thirty states In lln
in addition to what he had left. Amoni
these was Illinois , with Its { 45,000 approprla
tlon , which was secured only through m ;
personal appeals to the legislature and gov
crnor and the Influence of the Illinois sena
tors at Washington. In the states of Wls
consln , Minnesota , Kansas , Colorado , Mis
Eourl , the Dakotas , Texas , Oklahoma , Nev
Mexico , Wjomlng , Washington , Oregon an
California , as well as New York , Massachu
Belts and Ohio , the work bad to bo organize
at a great expense. In most of these state
missionary work had to be done not only b
myself personally , but also by special com
mlssloncrs. All this expenditure Is charge
to the Department of Publicity and Promo
tlon.

Mrs. S. M. Idol , AVinaton , N. 0. ,

to be wise , and In Hitchcock's case Ignor
ance Is not the only characteristic. When
he had charge of the Department of Promo
tion he did not put In an hour a day , but left
his work to he done by a fakir who spent
most of his time playing cards and loafing.
As to the cost of advertising , it has been for
less money than that of any exposition that
was ever undertaken. The World's fair paid
(200,000 at one time to one advertising
agency. The newspapers , magazine and
press advertising has so far cost this exposi
tion $10,000. The expenditure has been
chiefly for printing lithographs , posters and
literature in the shape of pamphlets , of
which more than 1,000,000 have already been
sent out.
Ailv ertlneil by the Government.
"Tho exposition postage stamps has not
been an Insignificant feature In advertising
the exposition. Before these were Issued
bushels of clippings from papers all over the
country relating to the stamps had accumu-
I latcd at the Department of Publicity. The
I accumulation has continued to Increase from
day to day since the Issue. Every post-
I master in the United States has received
| blanks descriptive of the stamps and blank
requlsltons nnd every postmaster ' re
minded of the exposition every time be re
ports his sales of clamps or orders an addi
tional supply. .
"Tho exposition has been advertised not
only In the newspapers , but the railroads
have Issued hundreds of thousands of Il
lustrated folders and Ravmond a Whltcomb
jhave distributed over 100,000 Illustrated fold-
. crs for the department. The various tourist
agencies have Issued thousands of Illustrated
guide books , also advertising the exposition ,
'he chief trouble with long-distance travel
o the exposition Is on account of the rall-
oad rates.
"I am curious to know whether since I
ave been charged with the light attendance
f the first one or two months , I am to bt >
redlted with the Increase since August 1 ,
nd whether the million of visitors who are
uro to come In September and October will
o credited to me or to the malcontents
nd malicious backbiters. In a hypocritical
vay Hitchcock tries to make out that the
ountry press Is offended , but If any dls-
atlsfactlon exists It has been caused by him
nd nobody else.
But , " concluded Manager Rosewater , "It
s hardly worth while to enter further Into
his howl about want of advertising. Every
enslble persons knows that the war has dls-
racted people's attention not only from the
xposltlon , but from all amusement centers.
Cearly all the summer resorts have suffered
nd It Is apparent that the exposition has
lecome widely and favorably known In spite
f the most adverse conditions. "

Object lu the Snntli fnte.
The proposition to open the south gate
to the Indian congress grounds has raised
a protest among the exhibitors in the Trans
portation , Apiary and Dalr > buildings , who
contend that such a proceeding would work
an Irreparable Injury to thorn. They say
that at the present tlmo all of the people
who visit the congress are compelled to pass
the buildings In which they are located and
that naturally many of the visitors , both
men and women , drop In to Inspect the ex
hibits , which they would not do if the lower
gate was opened.
In oupport of the position which they
take , the exhibitors in the main buildings
on the north tract , say that there would
be no saving of distance to the Indian con
gress by going through the south gate.
They urge that the Indians are nearly all lo
cated on the north side of the grounds anO
to reach them the distance Is the same , nc
matter through which two gates the people
ple go.

A program has been outlined for a bli
celebration at the Indian encampment Sat
urday afternoon. This will be entirely frei
to exposition visitors and will be the mos
elaborate Indian feature that has jet beet
given on tr-e grounds. It will begin at '
o'clock with a series of Indian pony racei
in which a big field will participate. Thi
events will Include a one mile , half mil
and quarter mile dash , and In each case thi
winner will bo rewarded with an exposltloi
souvenir medal. The pony races will be foi
lowed by foot races between members o
the various tribes , and dances by the Slous
Asslnnabolnes and Apaches. Then tner
will be wrestling matches on foot and 01
horseback and a bow and arrow contest , li
which the crack marksmen of the encamp
ment will participate.

The Society of American Florist ? xvas
slow In assembling for its second day's ses
sion. The trade exhibit was opened to the
public for the first time , and the visitors
spent considerable tlmo looking over the
dlsplavs and discussing the various bulbs
and plants shown. After the meeting was
Inally called to order the. balance of the
forenoon was taken up in debating small
matters , so that little was accomplished In
the regular business of the society.
The committee on nomenclature , through
Prof. Trelease of the Shaw Botanical Gardens
at St. Louis , reported on the sjnonomous
naming and double names of plants , the only
special feature of It being that the names
Climbing Kalserlne rose and Mrs. Robert
Perry rose are svnonomous.
The committee on fire Insurance reported
tbat a fire association had been organized ,
and Mr Ellser of the association Informed
the society that unless creater Interest Is
shown in the work of the fire association
by January 1 next , It will be disbanded and
the premiums returned to those who carry
policies In It. A resolution was then adopted
calling upon the members of the society to
Investigate the Insurance association and
pledging them to Its support.
The judges on the trade exhibit made
their report , mentioning In detail the
character of the displays made by each of
the exhibitors.
A proposed amendment to the by-laws
regulating the nomination of candidates for
the ofilccs In the society occupied n good
deal of time , but was finally defeated.
The recommendations of the executive
committee on the establishment of special
branches of work In connection with the
society were taken up and discussed , the
noon recess being taken before this work
was completed.
The society has decided by almost
unanimous vote to hold Us next annual
session at Detroit.
At the Ktenlnie Seimlon.
With the exposition and all Its attractions
to be enjojed very few of the florists were
left to take part In the evening proceedings.
The paper of E. H. Cushmau of nuclld , 0 ,
on "The Value of Trade Exhibitions to the
Florists' Business" was not read , because
Mr. Cushman was not present nor was his
paper In the hands of the secretary. The
paper from L K. Peacock of Atco , N. J. , on
the subject of the dahlia , however , was
read. The sale of dahlia bulbs , according to
the writer , had increased 50 per cent alto
gether In six jears. The cactui variety ,
though , did not seem to do as we'l. He
predicted the production of the ' Little
Beauty , " a fine pink flower , for next > ear.
In conclusion the writer expressed the hope
that at the next convention the American
Dahlia society would bo offlMally repre
sented and work In conjunction with the
florists' society. In the discussion which fol
lowed by Henry A. Slebrecht of New- York ,
E. G. Hill of nichmond , Ind , C U. Whlt-
nall of Milwaukee and others It wa" brougnt
out that the demand for this ilowervaried
In different sections of the country. Mr.
Hill said the cactus did splendidly where
the climate secm d to favor it better than
In this country. Mr. Slebrecht thought the
dahlia was a favorite with the poorer
classes.
During the question box , which took up a
good part of the evening session , the rmtter
oC express rates was referred to the proper
committee. The committee In the past ltd
secured from the express companies a re
duction of 20 per cent from the regular
merchandise rate , but It was said that In
Iowa , Missouri , Nebraska and Kansas the
reduction had not alwajs been conceded.
Conflict ivith the State.
A question , "Is there any way of pre
venting state Inst'tuttons ' from competing
with florists and , If so , what Is the best
way ? " brought out a desultory talk of a
general nature. U was thought by some
that there was grave danger of certain ele-
mosvnary Institutions , particularly hos
pitals for the Insane , encroaching on the
business of the florists , and that. In New
York for instance , even the parks were
damaging the business by the sale of flow
ers. On the whole , however , It was thought
the danger from state institutions was very
slight and that the parks did a great deal
more good than harm , as they educated the
public up to a better appreciating of flowers.
The last and , perhaps , most Important sub
ject considered was that of bulb growing In
America , upon which a letter from Prof. W.
F. Massey of the North Carolina experi
mental station , was read. Prof. Masse's
communication was very optimistic. His ex
periments had been more particularly with
lilies , narcissi and Roman hyacinths. In
his opinion the South Atlantic soli Is even
better adapted for bulb growing than that
of the Bermudas. In the Item of tube roses
North Carolina bids fair to supply the whole
country , completely dispensing with the ne.
cesslty for Importing the bulbs from Italy.
Georgia and California , thinks the writer ,
are setting a good pace in the direction of
bulb production.
Messrs. Slebrecht , Caraody of Evansvllle ,
Ind. , Hill of Richmond , Ind. , and Essler of
Saddle River , N. Y. , were all of the opinion
that a suggestion from Prof Massey to the
effect that the Department of Agriculture
bo Induced to devote some of Its appropria
tion to the distribution of bulbs grown la
this country , be acted upon in some way.
President Gude said Secretary Wilson hag
personally assured him he stood ready to da
anything ui'hln his power to encourage this
branch of floriculture. The president and
secretary were therefore Instructed to visit
Mr. Wilson and take along with them the
fine exhibit from George Glbbs of San Juan
county , Washington.

The convention of Nebraska Photographer
was almost doubled In size yesterday ,
when nearly seventy-five new member !
joined the association and swelled the entln
membership present to nearly 173. Presl
dent Lancaster read a paper on photograph ]
and advice to photographers , after whlcl
there was a general discussion on the besi
methods to be pursued In turning ou
photos. The most Interesting address of tht
morning was a speech by Prof. A. H. GrilTHl
of the Art exhibit at the exposition. Hi !
remarks were Interesting , instructive and ti
the point and hardly a person could llstet
to them and not be Interested , whether hi
bo a photographer , or artist , or simply oni
of the ordinary run of humanity.
Prof. Griffith spoke of the works of thi
old masters. He exhibited a dozen or so o
photographs taken from the original paint
ings , and illustrated how these old master
excelled In their lights and shades , of thel
fine qualities with the palette and brush
which could well be studied and copied b ;
the photographers of today. Photograph ;
has undoubtedly reached a high state of per
fec'lcn , but when some of the best worl
turned out by Chicago photographers Is con
trasted with Rembrandt's study of hi
mother , Paul Potter's farm scene , which b
painted for two weeks' board , and which th
German government now values at J200.00C
the difference Is seen to be striking.
"The best artist is the trickster , " sal
Prof. Griffith. "He Is the man who can foe
the public and make It believe that blac
s white. For the man never lived who
could paint nature as It really Is. "
The convention will meet ncaln tlili
morning , when Prof. Griffith will speak and
he election of officers will take place. Yes
terday morning a group picture of the con
vention was taken In front of the postofllcc.

At this time the Indians are laying plans
for organizing a couple of foot ball elevens.

vesterday and some of the joung Indians
were given a chance to chase the sphere.

Exhibit In Inrrenned.
More than a dozen big cases were received
at the Georgia state building vesterday and
upon the sides , each had four sheet posters ,
on which were printed In tvpe that could be
read at almost any distance the Inscription
"I am going to the Omaha exposition ; keep
me dry. " When opened , ex-governor Nor-
then found many things that he wanted to
ompleto his exhibit. The new stuff will
a arranged so that It will bo ready for In-
pection today.
One thing , Governor Northen says , has
dded much tothe , wealth of Georgia during
lie past few " > ears Is the shredded corn.
This shredding Is something new , not only
n the south , but throughout the entire
ountry , though some experiments have
ecu made In Nebraska. Speaking of
hredded corn , the professor in the Georgia
tate experimental station savs : "Careful
ests show that shredded cornstalks or
ornstalk hay Is a palatable and nutritious
cod. Not so good as clover or pea vine
ay ; not so good as crab grass hay , but bet-
er in my Judgment than most of the west-
rn hay that is sold in the south. It Is
lean , free from weeds and briers and their
eeds and is relished by horses , mules and
attle. With a fair allowance of concen-
rated food , cattle do exceedingly well on
orn hay. It Is not particularly suited for
torses on account of its great bulklness
he horse having a much smaller stomach
ban the cow. "
Shredded corn Is simply the leaf and stalk
if the corn ground and put into bales the
amo as hay. All of the shredded stalk Is
aten , even the pulp , and with cows It is
aid to be a great milk producer.
Ex-Governor Northen has written to each
if the railroads In his state , asking theme
o send a statement of the number of crates
hipped from Georgia during the present
leason and when this Is received he expects
o prove that his state is the greatest peach
raising state la the union. In his stock of
xhiblts received he has thirty varieties of
canned peaches , twentj of pears and nearly
orty of grapes. These cans he will arrange
on shelves and tables and when in place
hey will fill about all of the space that has
heretofore been vacant in the building.

Douglas county has the distinction of
showing a fig tree , something seldom seen
n this latitude , and what Is the remarkable
feature , the tree is bearing and has a large
number of figs growing upon Its branches.
The tree Is the property of Paul Floth of
: his city and is 12 years old. Last > ear it
lore a number of figs , but this jtar It is
oaded. The tree is about six feet high and
appears to bo healthy. It was reared in a
greenhouse , but there are things to Indicate
.hat this climate Is adapted to the culture
of figs , and as evidence of the statement ripe
figs grown In the Nebraska ozone will be
shown during the next ten days. Hon.
Robert W. Furnas of Brownvllle has written
: o Superintendent Youngers that he has a
half dozen fig trees bearing and that the
Fruit is almost ready to pluck. As soon as
it is ripe samples will be sent to Omaha and
placed in the Nebraska fruit exhibit.
Nebraska clogged the peach exhibit at the
exposition vesterday and the same time the
state made a showing that caused the eves
of the easterners to bulge. Early in the
morning some sixty crates came In from the
southern part of the state and a few minutes
later another consignment almost as large
came in from Arcadia. In addition to this
there were any quantity of grapes and new
apples , so that long before night the state
exhibit was made to look as fresh as thougt
It bad just come from the orchard.

The dairymen of the transmlssisslDoi re
gion are making great preparations for the
butter scoring contest that will occur in the
Dairy building , probably on Monday next ,
when the products from Nebraska , Iowa ,
Kansas , Illinois , Minnesota and Wisconsin
will be entered. At present twenty-two ex
hibitors are In , fifty others have applied for
space and ten more are expected. The
building Is In much better condition for the
receipt of the butter than at the time of the
July scoring as the refrigerating apparatus
is now working In good shape and is capable
of running the temperature down to twent-
two degrees and holding It there. The great
difficult ) seems to be In getting the buttei
to the grounds in prime condition. It is sent
hero in small parcels in express cars , not
packed in tee. Consequently it is soft upon
its arrival and not as fresh appearing as II
should be.
Since the last scoring contest ( he case :
have been materially changed with refer
ence to the cooling process and some thai
were then absolutely worthless are now It
fine shape and hold the cold in the mosl
satisfactory way. Both creamery and coun
try butter will be entered In the contest ani
will be considered in scoring for points.

"Star Spangled Hanner" with commendable
precision. An Itnocatlon by Kcv. W. K. De-
Clayborn of Den\er preceded an address by
E. R. Cherall of Omiha , who dlscusstd the
sentiment of the occasion and the objects
of the congress. He said that the highest
prosperity of a country Is only possible
hen the heartiest sjmpathy and good will
xlst between the people. The differences
if racial prejudice , In his opinion , are
argely due to Ignorance , which results In
ontlnucd friction. An Interchange of
lews will be of Incalculable benefit In
romotlng a better understanding between
he races. He deprecated the establishment
the color line In Industrial occupations
nd contended for more effectl\e protection
r colored prisoners , The colored American
hould now bo assigned to a higher place
efore the world than he occupied at the
me of bis emancipation. He had deserved
his by his ad\ancement In education and
nduEtry and his well cstab'ished loyalty to
mcrlcan Institutions.
( JoM-rnor llnrrU Welcome * Them.
Lieutenant Qo\ernor J. E. Harris extended
welcome In behalf of the state govern-
mcnt. He said that no class of American
Itlzcns has more reason to be lojal to the
, ag than the colored race. All Americans
re facing a great responsibility at this
Ime , In which white and colored people
hould meet on the common ground of man-
, ood. The colored people excel In orator } ,
music and religious Instincts. Let It take
: are to be manly and pure and honest , and
God will take care of the rest.
H. S How ell of Kansas City responded
n behalf of the congress , and declared that
he time Is fast approaching when the world
will place Its stamp of appro\al on manhood
nd womanhood , and the man who has
cmonstrated his power and ability will be
hen his proper place regardless of the color
f his skin. The colored man should not be
loutcnted to work out his destiny with a
Ick and shovel. Wherever brains or skill
s wanted he should make his way. If ho
: annot succeed In this country he cannot
, ucceed an > where. Thirty vears ago scarcely
colored man lu the south could read. Now
olored law } era and phvslclans and states-
nen are assisting to work out the problem
f their race to a successful Issue.
After another selection b > the chorus ,
ilajor Moores was Introduced to welcome
.he congress to the city of Omaha. He do-
lared that since It had been ln\cstcd with
he panoply of citizenship the course of the
tolored race has been steadily upward and
inward. A progress that would be remark
able as the product of a centurj had
marked the last forty jcars. The courage
and daring of the colored soldier had been
ndlcated at Santiago , where they have
shown that they are as good soldiers on
he battlefield as on the parade ground.
He expressed the hope tnat the day will
soon come when no man , white or black ,
will be punished for a crime until he has
been convicted by a Jury of his peers. In
closing he extended to the delegates the
freedom of the city and assured them of his
deep Interest In their deliberations
W. E. Oladner of Colorado responded
briefly to the sentiments of the preceding
speaker , In the absence of J. G. Jones of
Chicago , who had been expected to perform
hat office , and the remainder of the pro
gram consisted of music and recitations by
delegates. P. J. Lowery of Topeka con
tributed a very well rendered cornet solo
and Miss Victoria E. Overall of Kansas City
a recitation. The song , "The Boys Who
ft'ore the Blue Are Turning Graj , " was
rendered by a quartet and was recel\ed
with hearty appro\al.

called to order at 3 o'clock at Crelghton hall

vention , addressed the meeting. Major
Bailey was In Virginia at the time of the
hanging of John Brown and was a witness
to the execution and Is well prepared to
speak as ho did on the history and strug
gles of the negroes. He spoke of the many
obstacles the race has encountered In Us
freedom and praised the heroism colored sol
diers have dlsplajed In our wars from the

minded the men present that the white am
colored people are both at fault in the pres
ent condition of the race problem ; conces
stons are necessary on both sides , and uutt
they are made there will be no be temen
of affairs.
Rev. J. Albert Williams , pastor of th
Church of St , Philip the Deacon , spoke ncx
and set forth some standards for which col
ored people must strive before they cai
hope to get recognition from their whit
brothers. The most Imperative thing I
that negroes develop a strong , manly
virile character. He Insisted that If negroe
cultivate a belt-respect and Independenc
and prepare themselves well for whateve
field they wish to enter , they will find tha
they way will be opened.
Rev. W. E. Clav brook , pastor of Zlo
church of Denver , said in his opinion th
thing which the colored man needs to rea
llze more than an ) thing else is that com
mon labor is dignlQed and that It Is Jut
as honorable to till the soil as it is to writ
books or engage In any of the professions ,
> ettro Can Win 1IU Wa > .
Major Bailey spoke of many experience
he has had In the south which have led hit
to believe firmly In the ability of the negr
to work his own salvation. He told of th
Improved educational advantages and ex
pressed a belief that the south is gradual !

serves.

Clnrknon Vetoes the 1'lnn.
The Idea of giving a llto saving exhibition
Thursday evening has been vetoed by the
exposition management. A large number of
people have requested that the experiment
should be tried and Captain Knowlcs and
his crew expressed their readiness to accom
modate them. But the proposition was
turned down by General Manager Clurkson
on account of the fact that a band concert
and the Auditorium concert were already
scheduted for the same evening and It was
feared that the additional attraction might
detract from the attendance at the other
features.

What a man
attains to seems
for a little time
to be the high
est rung in the
ladder , and dur-
Ingr that brief pe
riod he may be
content , but when
he discovers that
there arc other
rungs , still higher
up , ambition gives
, birth to discontent ,
and he begins once
more to climb. To
climb \3 \ really man's
chief end. It iin't in
e attainment , but in
work , that man finds his
real happiness , consequently
d
quently it is not strange
that we find men working
until they break down
when there is no real
necessity for it.
If men only knew St , they could work to
almost any extent on through taiddlc life
and into old age , if they would only take a
little common sense care of their health.
The trouble is that they do not take the lit-
tic stitches here and there that are neccs-
sary to preserve health. They pay no at
tention to the signs of on-coming ill-health.
s A little biliousness , a little indigestion , a
little loss of sleep and appetite , a little
nervousness , a little headache , a little
shalciness in the morning , and a little dullness -
ness all day , a little this and a little that-
all these little things they neglect. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes
the appetite keen , digestion and assimila
tion perfect , the liver active , the blood pure
and the nerves steady. It is the great
blood-maker and flesh-builder. It is the
jrreat liver invigorator and nerve tonic. It
fits a man to work and work and work.
