THE MOKNTNG OttEGCOTAN,, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1901. GQ8T OF THE FIASCO Cincinnati Saengerfest As sociation a Heavy Loser. BRADY AND MADDEN ALSO OUT Jeffries' Manager In Disgusted With Championship Contests Athletic Club Pay Its Forfeit Gov ernor Xnsh's Intentions. CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 15. The Jeffries Ruhlln contest, scheduled for tonight. "was declared oft judicially yesterday and officially today. Judge Holllster today in dorsed the entry of the decree forbidding the contest. A significant feature of Judge Hollister's decision Is that the Saengerfest Athletic Club Is enjoined also from accepting hereafter from the Mayor any permit for a sparring match, a glove contest or a prizefight. The entry is made bo sweeping as to apply to all such events in Hamilton County and other places in Ohio. Jeffries Is billed to appear at Co lumbu tomorrow night, and Ruhlln at Marietta. It "was announced today that Governor Nash not only intends to stop boxing contests in Ohio, but also Intends to investigate these sparring exhibitions. They will both keep their engagements, and no trouble is feared, for they simply give an exhibition of sparring. Instead of an influx of visitors to wit ness a championship contest today, there has been a general "breakaway." About 550,000 taken in for tickets will be re funded on the presentation of tickets. After a Joint meeting of the Saenger fest Athletic Association directors and the fighters, the 510.000 forfeit this after noon was turned over to Brady and Mad den. They had each deposited 52500 of this amount, and received the same back in qual amounts. Of the 55003 forfeit de posited for the Saengerfest Athletic As sociation, Brady received 53750, and Mad den only 51250. This was due to the fact that Brady had borne all expenses, ex cept those at the training quarters of Ruhlin. Brady was the manager for the Saengerfest Athletic Association, as well as for Jeffries. Manager Brady later, on behalf of him self and the pugilists, expressed their en tire approval of the course of the direc tors of the Saengerfest Association and their regret that the undertaking had met with failure. Mr. Brady offered fur ther to conduct an entertainment at any time during the coming week for the ben efit of the Saengerfest Athletic Associa tion, and on behalf of himself and Jeff ries. The association formally accepted the nropositlon, and announced there "woula be an auction of seats for the per formance early next week. George Moser, Eastern representative of the San Francisco Athletic Club, today telegraphed Brady an offer for the Jeff-rles-Ruhlln fight, saying that the men could fight under the same conditions that were to govern the contest in Cin cinnati. There were, in fact, other prop ositions, but the managers of both Jeff ries and Ruhlln denied the acceptance of any of them up to the time of their departure tonight. Manager Brady said that he would not accept any proposition for Jeffries to engage in any contests in the future until there was a legal, as well as a financial, guarantee. "We will go ahead with our theatrical venture for the present," said Brady, "and will pay no attention to any propo sitions for Jeffries to meet Ruhlln or any other man. Our experience here has been a warning to us, and I, for one, do not care to go through the worry and loss that this match has occasioned me. In Tegard to the Denver offer, I will say that the only condition under which we will go to Denver is for Mr. Floto to offer a purse of 523,000, the money to be de posited in bank before the contest, and to be forfeited in case the contest is pre vented by legal measures." The Saengerfest board, that lost 557,000 originally In the structure, Tecently ex pended about 55000 more in remodeling the hall for the proposed boxing contests, and now. Instead of paying off deficits, is settling on a basis of largely increased expenses. In addition to remodeling the hall, and thousands of dollars of other expenses, it had the forfeit with the con testants to adjust. Manager Brady can celled profitable dates for many weeks lor Jeffries and his company, so that he could go Into training, and has been at a great expense in maintaining his train ing quarters. His loss is estimated at about 518,000. Manager Madden has had a similar experience In taking Ruhlin off the road, and he estimates his loss at almost 510,000. Jeffrie and Ruhlln May Wreatle. CHICAGO, Feb. 15. A special from Cin cinnati says Manager Brady, on behalf of Jeffries, today accepted the offer of a purse of 55000 for a wrestling match to take place in Chicago between Jeffries and Ruhlin. Brady said the only con ditions on which he would go to Denver would be the offer of a purse of 525,000. the money to be deposited in a bank be fore the contest, and to be forfeited in case the contest is prevented by legal means. Not "Wanted In Louisville. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 15. A report having reached the city that the Jeffries Ruhlln promoters were on the way to Louisville to pull off the fight here, the grand jury at once notified the city offi cials that it would go into immediate ses sion to consider the matter. PIERCE SLUGGING MATCH. Kid Parker Defeated By Buddy King at Denver. DENVER, Feb. 15. In a fierce 10-round battle before the Colorado Athletic Asso ciation here tonight. Buddy King, col ored, of Denver, won the decision from JKId Parker, in spite of the fact that Parker was the aggressor throughout the fight and landed oftener during the first eight rounds. In the ninth and tenth rounds King .jabbed his left into the Kid's nose persistently, and had Parker's face and breast smeared with blood. But his Jabs were placed as he retreated" from Parker's rushes, his long reach coming Into good play. Both men were groggy at times, as much from the pace they were going as from the blows received. It was a slugging match most of the time, led by the Kid, who gave the colored boy no rest. Parker lacked his old-time speed and strength, but retained his appetite for punishment. Two boys from San Francisco fought Jn the preliminary. Abe Attell had Young Buck nearly out and was given the de cision at the end of a five-round go. Eddie Toy struck Danny Coogan. of Denver, while he was on his knees, the blow put ting him out. Because of the foul the referee decided against him. Defented the "Terrible Turk." ST. LOUIS, Feb. 15. Hall AH, the "Ter rible Turk," met with defeat, in a wrest ling bout tonight. He agreed to throw six local men within an hour. He disposed of his first man in 2 minutes. His next and last opponent was George Baptiste. a well-known local athlete and wrestler. Baptiste had no trouble in delaying the rest of the hour, and made the Turk look like a novice, being the aggressor through, out. Neil Knocked Out Burns. HOT SPRINGS. Ark., Feb. 15. Al Nell, of San Francesco, knocked out Charlie Burns, of Cincinnati, tonight. In five rounds, at Whittington Park, by a. ter rific ewingm the jaw. THE DAY'S RACES. IUcm nt Xerr Orlcnns. NEW ORLEANS.

McCloekey, manager of the Ta coma baseball team, formerly of Louls llle, and manager of the Great Falls team in the Montana League last season, arrived in Portland yesterday for a con ference with the organizers of the Port land team. Mr. McCloskey said last even ing that on Puget Sound everything was in readiness to begin work In the league. "The teams are all ready," said he, "to deposit their guarantee of 5500 to finish the season, and everything now Is wait ing on Portland. If Portland deposits its 5500. Interest will be stimulated In the league, players can be engaged before the other leagues gobble them all up, and the local men will have until May to raise the rest of their money. With Portland In, the success of the league is assured, and from looking over the local situation here, I can see no reason why the Port land ..team should not be a good paying proposition, as well as a good advertise ment for the city." Gilbert Won the Handicap. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Feb. 15. Fred Gilbert won the Grand Central handicap at live pigeons today. The conditions were 25 birds. Gilbert, Crosby, Marshall and Heikes divided first money. In the shoot-off, miss and out, Gilbert killed 13, while Crosby and Marshall each fell down on his last bird. Heikes missed his first bird. - MARTIAL LAW. Idaho House, After Sharp Fight, Votes, for Its Maintenance. BOISE, Idaho. Feb. 15. A sharp fight was precipitated in the House by the Introduction of a resolution urging the Governor to abolish martial law In the Coeur d'Alenes. After a very vigorous debate, the resolution was defeated by a vote of 24 to 21. The House, in committee of the whole, recommended the passage of the bill mak ing an appropriation of 525,000 for an ex hibit at the Buffalo exposition. Three bills passed the Senate, by Moody, requiring all pharmacists to pass exam ination before licenses are issued, and providing for physicians to keep a record of prescriptions, and the druggist to preserve the same. The bill does not ap ply to the manufacture of proprietary medicines. By Donnelly, providing for the assessment of voters for the estab lishment of free libraries in any town or city. By Donnelly, reducing the number of regents of the State University from nine to five. The Jones Sunday closing bill was prac tically killed in committee. Moore's Salmon River wagon road bill passed the House. "Will Sot Visit Olympla. , BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 15. The House to day voted down the Senate resolution providing for a visit to the Washington Legislature. Shoshone Falls Not to Be Park. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. The Commis sioner of the General Land Office, with the approval of the Secretary of the In terior, has revoked the order withdraw ing Shoshone Falls, Idaho, for a pro posed National park and has restored the falls to settlement or other disposal under existing laws. The Governor of Idaho and the Congressional delegation requested the revocation of the order because it was thought that the waters of the falls should be utilized for electric power pur poses and for the irrigation of the ad joining arid lands. Indians to Move Back to Old Home. TACOMA, Feb. 15. Alaska advices state that the Taku Indians, of Juneau, are go ing to move in a body back to the old village whence they came. When the white settlers found gold at Juneau and established a camp there, the Indians de serted their village which they had found ed 200 years before, and flocked to Ju neau, where they have lived ever since. They are now to return as the- growth of Juneau has lessened the area of the lands allotted to their use. Their old home Is also nearer their fishing grounds. Defenses for Port Orchard Dock. TACOMA, Feb. 15. The work of laying mines and torpedoes about the entrances to the Port Orchard drydock is soon to begin. A shipment of five cars of mush room anchors has been received by the Quartermaster's Department, consigned to the United States Engineer by the Ordnance Department of the Army. They arc to be used to hold down the guncotton mines and torpedoes. , To Fipht the Vaudeville Trust. CHICAGO, Feb. 15.Morrls Meyerfield and Charles A. Kerman, of San Francis co, president and vice-president of the Orpheum Company, are said to have com pleted arrangements for the purchase of the Chicago Opera-House, the Olympic and the Haymarket Theaters, of Chicago, and will endeavor to break the so-called trust of the Eastern vaudeville managers and prevent their managers from securing all the best attractions, as is the case now. So Violence at Wlnfleld. WINFIELD, Kan., Feb. 15. There has been neither violence nor rioting today, and the worst of the conditions arising from the closing of the "Joints" seems to be oyer, SPAIN IS AGAIN CALM BUT MARTIAL LAW WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT CARNIVAL WEEK. Probahle Change In the Ministry Soon Tvro Persons "Were Killed nt Granada. MADRID, Feb. 15, Midnight. The Min ister of the Interior, Senor Urgarte, in the course of an interview, asserted that calm reigned in the provinces, and that if the same pacific behavior of the people continued, after the carnival next week, martial law would be discontinued in Madrid and throughout Spain, except In Catalonia. Madrid remains perfectly calm, although the talk of the probable. change of ministry after the carnival Is very strong. All the troops have been withdrawn, and the censorship is less vigorous, but no reference to the disorders of the past few days is permitted to appear. All dis patches are now revised and delayed. The streets are now guarded by only the or dinary number of police. The weather is bitterly cold and not conducive to mob manifestations. There is not the slightest foundation for the statement circulated In the United States on the authority of a news agency, that the government had placed restric tions on the sending of messages regard ing the royal wedding. Two persons were killed and several others wounded yesterday at Grenada. The Count and Countess of Caserta ar rived at Hendays. France, today. They met with no special Incident en route, and continued the journey to Nice. Cause of the Disturbances. NEW YORK, Feb. 15. A special to the Times from Washington says: The disturbances which Geperal Wcy ler is now trying to quell, are not. It Is said, by persons familiar with the situa tion, of either Carllst or Republican or igin, although both parties are no doubt active in trying to take advantage of the trouble. It Is declared that the upris ing is in reality an outbreak of the dis contented. Those taking part In it com prise all classes of malcontents, and Its causes are like those which brought about the French Revolution. Poverty has been increasing, the bur den of taxation has been growing heavier, and the laboring classes are ripe for revo lution. At the same time the ruling dynasty is unpopular. All these compli cations and a number of others have brought about a widespread feeling of unrest, and great events are looked for in Spain unless the incipient revolution is quelled. Spain has been tending to ward a rebellion for some time. THE KING'S COLOR. PreHented by Edward to Strath cona's Horse. LONDON, Feb. 15. King Edward, ac companied by Queen Alexandra, today in spected, at Buckingham Palace, 330 officers- and men of Strathcona's Horse. His Majesty presented the regiment with the Klng'6 color, and gave medals to the men. The company present Included Earl Roberts, In full uniform; General Buller, the Duke of Connaught, Joseph Chamber lain, the Secretary of State for the Colo nies;. Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, who organized Strathcona's Horse, and many army and court officials. The King addressed the troops as follows: "Colonel Steele, Officers, Non -Commissioned Officers and Privates I welcome you here to our shores on your return from active service in South Africa. I know it would have been the urgent wish of my beloved mother, our revered Queen, to welcome you. Alas, that was not to be. But. be .assured, she deeply appre clted the services, you have, rendered, as I do. I felt sure that, "in entrusting the King's color to you. Colonel Steele, and those under you, you will always de fend it and do your duty, as you have done during the past year In South Africa and will do on all future occasions. I am glad Lord Strathcona is here to day, and It is owing to him that this magnificent force was equipped and scrit out I can only hope your short sojourn in England, will be agreeable, and that you will return safely to your homes, friends and relations. Be assured that neither I nor the British Nation will ever forget the valuable services you have rendered In South Africa." The Gazette this evening announced that King Edward has bestowed on the Czarowltch the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. At a special meeting of the Grand Lodge of Free Masons this afternoon the Duke of Connaught was unanimously elected grand master In place of King Edward. German Comment on KIiik'h Speech. BERLIN, Feb. 15. The Lokal Anzelger says King Edward's speech at the open ing of Parliament yesterday Is more re markable for what it omits than for what It says, adding: "It passes over Eng land's foreign policy, momentarily so in teresting, with a meaningless allusion, and entirely avoi-ls touching on the subject of Emperor William's visit and the at tendant circumstances which, at least, open important prospects, unless changed relations hnve intervened. What he says about the Transvaal appears decidedly too optimistic to any person who has fol lowed South African events. Those who indulged In hopes of peace will be thor oughly disappointed with the King's words." Empress Frederick's Condition. NEW YORK. Feb. 15. A dispatch to the Herald from Berlin says the condi tion of Empress Frederick is causing the most serious anxiety. All the physicians can do is to mitigate the pain she is suf fering and defer the Inevitable catastro phe. The extreme danger of the Empress' state Is proved by the fact that the Kaiser and the members of the royal family stay continually in the neighborhood. OTHER FOREIGN NEWS. Railroad Y. M. C. A. in Russia. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 27. Tho work of the railroad department of the Young Men's Christian Association In the United States will probably be adopted as a model by the Ministry of Railroads, which 13 planning to ameliorate the eco nomic, intellectual and moral status of its employes. A delegation from the Young Men's Christian Association visited Mos cow last Summer and made a thorough investigation of the railroad hospitals and other charitable institutions of the old capital. The Russian Government recip rocated the compliment by sending Coun cillor Chidlovskl and his wife as delegates to the congress held In the Interest of the railroad department in the Autumn. They have Just returned and made their report to Minister Khllkoff, and he has ordered them to make an exhaustive report on the congress In writing, and to recommend those arrangements which were observed in the United States that seem best adapt ed for Russia. It Is said that the population of St. Petersburg, as indicated by the census taken In December, at 1.440,000, or an In crease of 177,000 since 1896, and of 405,500 since 1890. Official estimates are that the naphtha production of Russia exceeded GOO.000,000 poods, or 10,800,000 tons last year. The product per annum has accordingly dou pled within seven years, while the price has rapidly riFen from 3.1 copras per pood to 15 copras. Bebcl Criticised Von Wnlderiee. BERLIN. Feb. 15. During the debate on the third reading of. the China bill in the Reichstag today, "the Minister of I War, Genera von Goesler, replying to Herr Bebel's attacks on the conduct of the troops in China and Field Marshal Count von Waldersee's methods of war fare, said Herr Bebel's statements were without foundation. When Herr Bebel asserted that a Prussian Sergeant-Major could have better conducted the cam paign than Field Marshal Waldersee he displayed extraordinary Ignorance of the circumstances and country. - Labor Riots In Budapest. BUDAPEST. Feb. 15. Several thousand persons out of work marched through the principal streets here today carrying mottoes and singing the "Marseillaise." They began smashing the windows of restaurants and stores, when the police dispersed the mob making many arrests. Criminal Commiisloner Sentenced. BERLIN. Feb. 15. Criminal Commis sioner Thlel was today sentenced to three years' penal servitude and five yeans' de privation of citizenship, owing to the charges brought against him on account of Ms connection with the Sternberg case. INFLUENCE OF TEE PRESS. Some Prominent Persons Tell How It Can Be Increased. NEW YORK. Feb. 15. The following are excerpts read at the dinner of the Correspondents' Club last night, from some of the responses received from prominent persons In answer to the ques tion, "How can the influence of the press be Increased?": Secretary of State John Hay I do not consider myself competent to give advice on this subject. ,' Horace White By an honest effort to deserve it. f Joseph Jefferson Th b"est means of in creasing the influence of journalism, or. Indeed, any profession, is by bringing to bear on It industry, ability and integrity. It would be a grandideparture if the best newspapers were to Inaugurate a system whereby only known facts would be published, and would search out and ex pose every fraudulent JoUrnal; under such conditions a confidence would be aroused In the public mind that perhaps does not now exist. Susan B. Anthony By advocating the ballot to all women as well as to all men. H. H. Kohlsaat, editor Chicago Times Herald There Is a widely recognized de mand that the Influence 61 the press shall make for those things tljat are of good re port and exalt a people more than it does. It can be less cynical and more sincere. Itt can be more optimistic in its views of' life. It can be more considerate to ward the unfortunate and more generous In the treatment of those with whom It may not be in accord.. The truth, how ever, should be told with all the vivacity of Action, or the press will suffer. Stu pid veracity is the rock upon which more than one truly good newspaper has foun dered. Veracity with vivacity Is my pre scription for what I think your club Is seeking after. W. J. Bryan A newspaper will exert a great influence, other things being equal, if it Is known to represent on public questions the convictions of some person, a person of flesh and blood, not a cor poration. The Influence of a newspaper, other things being equal, will be greater If It Is known who owns the paper and controls Its policy, and that that person has no Interest adverse to the Interests of tho readers. The Influence of the press will be increased by greater unity in the support of any good cause, and in the condemnation of any bad practice. Jeanette L. Gilder I should say by less sensationalism and more truth. Arthur F. Hadley, president of Yale University It is not the -question how the influence may be increased, but rather how that Influence can be so directed that it shall work more toward permanent ends and less toward temporary ones. General R. A. Alger Let the press be zealous in ascertaining whether Its pub lications ara founded upon facts or not. Thomas A. Edison By publishing-a fact .now and then. , Nikola Tesla The influence of the press might be greatly Increased by adopting a better system of informing the world of technical and scientific advances; or, generally speaking, of such news as con cerns professional men. Rev. Lyman Abbott The proprietor must put Influence above commercial success. To secure this influence the editor must have both definite and In telligent convictions on the subjects on which he wishes to exert Influence. Ho must be fair to those who do not share these convictions. He must convince his readers that he is seeking the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. He must deal with topics which are both of real Interest and of real Importance to tho public. f Cardinal Gibbons The influence of the press would be much Increased by a strict adherence to facts In recording events, and by a scrupulous accuracy in reporting the expressions of public men. Andrew Carnegie The paper which ob tains a reputation for publishing authen tic news and only that which is fit to print, and which, editorially, writes tem porarily, although always decidedly, will steadily Increase its Influence. Wu Ting Fang, Chinese Minister I will simply say that the influence of the press can be Increased by strict adherence to facts. Bishop Henry C. Potter By the educa tion and elevation of Its readers. A de cent. Intelligent, thoughtful constituency will 'compel a decent press. B. B. Odell, Jr., Governor of New York Accuracy and reliability are the prime requisites. Whltelaw Reld By the most scrupulous effort In giving the news to tell the exact truth, without exaggeration and without guesswork, and by discussion based upon fair-minded study and conducted with the courtesy that commands a respectful hearing.

CARTER AGAIN DEFEATED FEDERAL JUDGE REFUSED TO AD MIT HI3I TO BAIL. 3Iust Walt Until His Case Is Decided by the Snprcme Court He Al leges a Conspiracy. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Feb. 15. Ex Captaln Obcrlln M. Carter, United States Army, serving a sentence In the Federal Prison at Fort Leavenworth for defraud ing the Government on harbor contracts, today suffered another defeat in his at tempt to tecure a release Judge Hook, In the United States District Court, re fused to release the prisoner on ball, and ordered that he .be remanded to the peni tentiary to await the action of the United States Supreme Court on appeal in hl3 habeas corpus case. After a brief argu ment by his attorney, J. H Atwood, who contended that the court had the power to admit the prisoner to ball, and the reading of two affidavits of physicians re garding Carter's health, Judge Hook handed down his decision. He held. In sub stance, that the Judgment of the court martial was final, unless set asiue by the Supreme Court of the United States. "I cannot," said Judge Hook, "even had the court the power, which is doubt ful, feel a reason for liberating the pris oner on bail. Such a case has not been presented that would authorize anything of th kind, and the motion is denied and the Judgment of the court-martial stands." Carter flushed as these words were spoken, but soon regained his composure, quietly put on his overcoat and left the courtroom with Warden McCIaughrey, to return to the penitentiary. When he appeared In court today to hear the arguments in his behalf, Carter was by far the best-dressed man In the room, and appeared to be in good health. There was a crowd of nearly 300 in the courtroom and along the corridors, and they manifested a great desire to get a look at the prisoner. This annoyed Car ter, and he flushed and tried to avoid facing the spectators. Before being taken back to the Federal prison Captain Carter made the following statement, through Warden McLaughrey: "I am absolutely innocent. I was mis takenly condemned by a tribunal which had no power to compel the testimony of civilian wltnessps, simply on a majority vote, for an alleged civil offense which the ablest engineers of America, both civil and mlHtary. swore did not exist. "When ex-Senator Edmunds, appointor by Ihe prosecution to review the pro ceedings In my case, declared that illegal evidence was admitted on my trial, but that, nevertheless, I was not proved guilty of the offense of which I now stand condemned, and It thus became known that the verdict of the military tribunal was a mistake, a man was em ployed by the prosecution to conduct a secret investigation. Thus, while I was led to believe that my casp whs again being passed upon judicially, I was in fact being tried In secret on a mattpr not before the military tribunal, not taken In my presence, and Blrce proved to be false. I pleaded for a trial In a Court of Justice, but I was Informed that Interests higher than mine might suffer by the disclosure of the Incidents attending my prosecution, and I was Im prisoned, where It was known I was pow erless to compel a trial. "Now, for the Tlrst time, has a way appeared In which I may secure a trial in a court of Justice of full powers, and thus establish my Innocence. "I have, however, no word of criti cism of the Army at large, which knows nothing of the facts In this case, nor of the President, who had no time person ally to examine into my case, and who had the right to assume b'is advisers In this matter were honest: but I shall not cease to demand an opportunity legally to establish the truth, no matter whom it hurts, !t only to Indicate my manhood and the stain upon the honor of the Army caused by the conviction of an Innocent man." Mixed Motive at Seattle. Spokane Spokesman-Review. It would be difficult for the uninitiated to determine, from the utterances of that paper, whether the Seattle Post-Intelll-gencer Is "afoot or horseback" on the railroad Issue. It seems the Portland Oregonlan, from hasty reading, derived the Impression that It favored a railway commission. But the Seattle paper glee fully quotes from the Spokesman-Review to prove The Oregonlan was mistaken It Is a matter of small consequence, but It is well to have correct understanding, even of trifles. It Is an easy task to "place" the Post-Intelligencer. Nominal ly that paper is owned by ex-Senator John L. Wilson. That Is, he holds a majority of the stock; but the concern is bonded for all it is worth, and the bonds are owned by a distinguished railway king. The bonded end wants no commission. Harbinger, Homan & i jT A rum I Ui WJtfl in m Wm I - Up E U a WW Is iSrj iSSiljlSyp PP HPi PW w w w g, mlriffM ( Or"""? wWiM""" ) ) IllllliliP BETTER THAN YEARS OF DOCTORING Only Paine's Celery Compound Did Her Any Lasting Good. It can be truthfully said of no other remedy In the world what Is so often said of Paine's celery compound, that in no single Instance has it failed to benefit, and benefit permanently and there's tho point that no sufferer should lose sight of. The whole stock-in-trade of the ordi nary, plausible-sounding, but wholly Ir responsible remedies Is to bring about the appearance of health, to cover up symptoms and to stave off break-downs, making the permanent cure all the more difficult. Other remedies, because they can ef fect no lasting cure, do harm. The same words that fairly and ac curately describe Paine's celery com pound, a remedy that every day proves Its worth, are boldly used to exploit con coctions that can by no possibility do anything but harm. More brains and ingenuity Is expended on the label and wrapper than on what Is put Into the bot tles. Persons who try this remedy and that. In the foolish hope that they may hit on the right one by chance, and at any rate It can do them, no harm, should know that they are doing their system In calculable mltchlef and putting off the day of complete recovery by such experi menting. Paine's celery compound must not be judged by the standard of any of these superficial medicines. It Is a great, re sponsible, scientific discovery, singularly unlike any remedial agent that ever aimed to effect a similar purpose to make peo ple well. It Is not an ordinary remedy. The results from its use have been so extraordinary and so gratifying that busy men and women have gone out of their way to send letters of thanks and to al low their names to vouch for every state ment they have made In praise of It. The following acknowledgment from Mrs. George F.
