QUMERI
IN ftll) ACT the question of beai'
III VLU l becomes mainly a
question of nutrition. If the stomach
and other organs of digestion and nutri
tion are kept in a healthful condition
there will be a well-nourished body, and
little liability to disorders of the liver,
bowels or such other disorders as may
result from in
nutrition and
lack of exer
cise. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Med
ical Discovery
cures diseases
of the stomach
and other or
gans of diges
tion and nutri
tion, and also
diseases of oth
erorganswhich are caused by
he diseased
condition of the
stomach. By
enabling the
perfect nutri
tion of the
body it increases the vital power
promotes a vigorous old age.
I was a sufferer from chronic diarrhea for five
years," writes Mrs. Mary A. Aaron, of Rolla,
Phelps Co., Mo. I tried different remedies,"
which would give me relief for a short time
rnniv. Mv trouble would return as bad as ever.
I consulted you in July, 1900, and by your advice
commenced using Dr. Pierce's remedies. I took
two bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery,'
three vials of the ' Pellets,' and some of the
Extract of Smart-eed,' as you advised. I
slave not had any return of my trouble since
using your medicines. Am now seventy-one
years old and I never had anything to relieve
jne so quick. I think Dr. Pierce's medicines the
greatest on earth. Should I ever have any re
turn of my trouble shall use your medicine.
My thanks to you for your advice and thank
to Almighty God for restoring me to health
through your hands."
Accept no substitute for "Golden Med
ical Discovery." There is nothing "just
as good" for diseases of the stomach,
blood and lungs.

Important changes this year in the
government's rlan of distributing seeds
and plants will interest the farmers of
the United States and the Senators an 1
Representaties in Congress. To handle
seeds intelligently, adapting them to the
sections 01 tne country wnere tney win
best grow, the United States has been
divided into large agricultural districts,
and maps showing this arrangment win
be furnished to members of Congress.
In addition to the usual allotment of
miscellaneous vegetable seed, of which
each Senator and Representative will
have 12,000 packages to his credit, there
will be for every one of these statemen
500 package including five new varieliea
of seeds with full directions for plant
ing and cultivation. To all the recipients
of these novelties a frank postal card
will be supplied, with a request that he
make a report to the Department of
Agriculture as to his euccess in raising
the plants.
In this ' way the many scientific
achievements of specialists in the gov
ernment service will be diverted to
practical fields. There have been de
veloped within the past few years many
agricultural noveliies which give prom
ise of greatly benefiting the farming in -dustry
of the United States, and Secre
tary Wilson Is anxious tbat.the tillers ol
the soil shall read the harvest of these
propagating experiments.
That city people may also enjoy the
advantages of scientific advancement in
plant cultivation, allotment ot flower
seeds to Senators and Representatives
has been increased to 500 packages, Bach
containing hve packets, and arrange
ments have been made to enable every
member whose constituments are wholly
or in the main dwellers of cities to ex
change his 12,000 packages of vegetable
seeds for the seeds of flowers. Mote'
over, for these strictly city constituents
a special collection is being prepared of
seeds of flowers suitable for small door
yards, lots, balconies and window-boxes.
The number of trees for each member
to distribute has been increased to 100.
Bulbs are now ready for distribution.
In addition to the regular consignments
of seeds, members will be provided with
a miscellaneous assortment of seeds to
meet without delay demands that come
for mixed varieties in small lots. Mem
bers will be furnished envelopes for
sending these through the mails. This
system will enable them to send out
more than five packets to one address, n
that is desired.
An important item was provided for
by the last session of Congress. The
Public Printer was authorized to lurniBD.
the Secretary of Agriculture with the
frankB of Senators and Representatives
These will be supplied in sufficient
quantities to enable members to send
out all tne seeds allotted mem wunoui
having to resort to document slips. In
the matter' of cotton and tobacco, the
method adopted last year of sending out
special collections adapted to certain
districts will be continued.- me Bureau
of Plant Industry is conducting exten
sive experiments in cotton culture, and
the methods of distributing seed are in
keeping with this scientific work. With
some of the seed to be sent out tnis year
will go the announcement to cotton
planters tha' the varieties they are re
ceiving are new and of the greatest
value and cannot be bought on tne
market at any price. Tbey will, there
tore, be asked to plant, with care, report
results, and carefully save the seed 01
the matured plants.

the Best Asset
Character is above everything else
the most important factor in achieving
success.
The young man should guard it as
the most precious asset he can possi
bly possess with which to commence, as
well as to finish, nis career.
Great brains with little character do
not count for much in the long run in
competition with moderate brains and
blifb character.
Absolute loyalty to his emplover
whether it be a corporation or an indi
vidual and the constant manifestation
of a desire to do the best he knows bow
to ac Vance the work 0' interests entrust
ed to nun are essential.
This is an almost certain road to ad
vancement for himself, for corporations
as well as individual employers are gen
erally on the lookout for young men of
character and fidelity to duty in their
employ, with a view to their promotion.
A young man should be satisfied to
fill the niche he occupies until he raises
himself to a higher one, and not to try
to appear to fill another than that in
which be is actually placed.
No end of men wreck their careers by
endeavoring to lead a life which is a lie.
They would wish to be considered richer,
or more important in the world, man
tbey really are, and this leada to their
downfall.
A young man should make it a cardi
nal principle of his life to act and be
what he is. and not pretend to be some
body else, whom he knows very well he
in nnt.
He ebnuld be careful in the selection
of his companionship and friends. Men
are judged largely by the company they
kfifin The maxim that "birds of a
feather flock together" is as true today
aa it ever was.
The young man should not. In the
outset of his life, make the mistake of
believing that the mere accumulation
of waalth constitutes success. He who
bends a 1 of his energ e to that one end
navsthe oena tv at theeloaw of lite, even
if successful in its accomplishment, of
finding himself possessed of a mind sor

Coughs, Colds and Constipation.
Few people realize when taking cough
medicines other than Foley's Honey
and Tar, that they contain opiates which
are constipating besides being unsafe,
particularly for children. Foley's Honey
and Tar contains no opiates, is safe and
sure, and will not constipate. It has
lonir been a household favorite for
coughs, colds, crouo andl all throa'
and lung troubles. It is pleasant to take
an acta promptly. Unarm an & uo.

HINDOO CUSTOMS.
The Sword Flays a Prominent Part
In Oath and Marriages.
The sword plays many different roles
to Hindoo manners and customs. There
are certain warlike tribes among whom
oaths taken over the sword are bind
ing, while taken otherwise they are
not. A- similar sentiment prevails
among some predatory classes of Eu
rope, where oaths taken over their
weapons of offense a dagger, a pon
iard, a rapier are considered binding.
The idea with these classes seems to
be that perjury committed after taking
oaths over their weapons recoil; that
they die by the weapon against which
they perjure themselves.
In Berar, In India, women who are
about to lead an Irregular life marry
a sword. This marriage in name, as
an emblem of conjugal life, serves as
a ray of consolation to them in the
midst of their evil doings. In certain
parts of India when a Hindoo is about
to marry a third wife, which marry
ing is considered an 111 omen, he mar
ries a tree, for obviating the ill omen,
before he marries the third lady.
In Kathlawar there is still the cus
tom for rajput princes who are much
married to marry other wives by
means of a sword. They send ovei
their sword to the bride's people. The
bride Is married to it with all the re
quired pomp and splendor, the only cur-,
ference being that the prince's sword';
becomes " a substitute for him, the;
bridegroom. The legality of this niar-j
riage to a sword is indisputable. The;
bride married to it enters the rajputl
zenana as a legally married wife.
