Prayed
To Be Released
From Life.
Almost Insane From
Nervousness.
Dr. Miles' Nervine My
Salvation.
Do you enjoy life, or do you sleep so poorly
that you are more tired when you get up
than when you goto bed ? Is your appetite
failinL', are you getting thin; does your head
ache,back ache, eyes tire easily ? These are
symptoms of a nervous disorder, which
should be promptly treated or fainting spells,
mental and physical nervousness, morbid
fears and loss of control will lead to insanity
or mental irresponsibility. Strengthen the
nerves with Dr. Miles' Nervine. It quickly
supplies nerve-force and vitality to the weak
ened system, bringing sleep, appetite and
health.
"1 was almost insane with nervous trouble.
Could not eat or sleep. Could see no pleas
ure in life; indeed, life was a burden to me,
and I even prayed God to release me from
it. Three doctors did all they could for me,
all to no purpose. I was in despair of ever
getting better when 1 saw the advertisement
of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. I got a
bottle, commenced taking it and wrote you for
ail vice. I followed it carefully, taking your
Nervine, Restorative Tonic, and Nerve and
l.ivsr Pills. Those remedies were my sal
vation. It is some months since I stopped
taking the Tonic but I keep the Nervine in
the house all the time, as it is a friend that I
do not feel safe w thout. If any sufferer
snould doubt the truth of this statement, let
tiiem write to me and I will do my best to
drive all doubt from their mind.' —MßS.

Seeking nnd Searching.
The spirit of Christ is a spirit of
seeking und searching. It is a spirit

that the spirit of mo? Vet we call our

lost their habit of going to church,
what does it mean? It means that
they are suffering from a diminution of
spiritual Interest. Rev. Dr. Alsop,

The Present Doty.
Our duty to put oa the harness was
never so great as today, that we may
plant the religion of love on the basis
of the higher philosophy of observa
tion and experience, the basis upon
which must rest all permanent and all
future forces of society. It is the form
of religion which harmonizes best with
the advancing civilization of this coun
try. It Is the true republicanism of
Christianity, recommending to all na
tions liberty, justice and love.—Rev.
Dr. Harris, Universalist, Worcester,
Masa.
A Thanksgiving Dinner.
Heavy eating is usually the first cause
ot indigestion. Repeated attacks inflame
the mucous membranes lining the stom
ach, producing a swelling uf'ter eating,
heartburn, headache, sour risings and
finally catarrh of the stomach. Kodol
relieves the inflammation, protects the
nerves and cures the catarrah. Kodol
cures indigestion, dyspepsia, all stomach
troubles by cleansing and sweetening the
glands of the stomach.
The School of Suffering.
Suffering is a great school. We learn
our best lessons in this school of suf
fering. We learn, for instance, to love
truth and to know it by suffering from
errors. We learn to love righteousness
as we suffer from sin. But the greatest
lesson we learn from our experience In
life is the great central lesson of obe
dience. Do you know that it Is the
hardest thing in the world for you and
me to become obedient as we pass
through the school of suffering? I
have learned obedience by the things
I have suffered. Not only do we learn
the lesson of obedience in the school of
experience and suffering, but we really
develop and consolidate our character.

That Is where faith must come In.
You must rest on that. Take God at

about my acceptance? When my life
is abandoned to Christ, he takes me,
and I become a part of himself, and

SOUND TARIFF VIEWS
REPUBLICAN LEAGUE AND MASSA
CHUSETTS CONVENTION.
Botli I'rse l|ion Republicans I'mrttT
crliiK Adherence to the Protection
Policy nnil No Chanlng Off Alter
Tariff Tinkering Scheme*.
In the proceedings of two Important
Republican gatherings on the 3d of Oc
tober 110 evidence Is to be found of in
satiate longing for tariff revision. At
Chicago the Xatlonul League of Repub
lican Clubs expressed its views in fortn
direct and easily understood as fol
lows:
"The unexampled prosperity that has
attended the full exercise of Republic
an tariff policy is obvious and com
mands unwavering adherence to that
policy as one of cardinal importance in
protecting American labor, maintain
in;; American Industries and sustain
ing American institutions."
Unwavering adherence to the protec
tion policy and no chasing off after
visionary schemes of tariff tinkering
wns also the keynote of the platform
adopted 011 the same day by the Massa
chusetts Republican state convention.
Efforts were made by a few revision
and reciprocity cranks to secure a dec
laration in favor of reciprocity wiili
Canada and an Immediate revision of
the Dingley tariff such as should pro
vide for free trade in coal, iron, steel
and hides. Senator Lodge was equal
to the occasion. In a powerful speech
he succeeded In making clear the fact
that the protective tariff Is not a thing
of shreds and patches, not a mere local
thing to be twisted and manipulated to
suit individuals in particular sections,
but a broad, general, national i>ollcy
which takes account of the greatest
possible good to the country as a
whole. In response to this well con
ceived appeal the convention by au
overwhelming majority voted down the
reciprocity and tariff ripping amend
ment and adopted as its tariff planks
the following:
"The Democratic plan of free trade
in all products made by a so called
trust ignores the economic fact that
the tariff has no connection with trusts
or with the size of corporations except
so far os it affects all productive indus
tries, great and small alike. It would
mean the greatest possible Injury to all
the competitors of the trusts and the
least possible injury to the trusts them
selves: it would mean incalculable
loss to all wage earners employed in
every Industry thus recklessly assailed;
It would mean the domination in our I
markets of foreign trusts, and It would
neither control nor regulate the great
corporations which are necessary to
modern business and which It is the

"To the application of the policy of
protection ns embodied in the Dlngley
tariff nre due the high wages and con
stant employment of labor, and, In a
large measure, our phenomenal nation
al prosperity for the last Ave years.
This policy should be adhered to, but
changes which the world's progress
and the Interest of the American peo
ple may suggest should and will be
mude by the Republican party when
ever they are of sufficient importance
to Justify the check to business which
inevitably attends any revision of the
tariff. Such changes can only be made
successfully and with the least possi
ble injury to business by the Republi
can party and In accordance with the
principles of protection. They should
be undertaken only after thorough in
vestigation by congress or by a commis
sion of experts, as suggested by Presi
dent Roosevelt. Massachusetts has and
desires no unfair tariff advantages
over other states. Protection should be
national and uot sectional. Impartial
between Industries and those who are
engaged in them. The habit of charg
ing to the tariff whatever evils, real or
imagined, a (II let the country, has be
come an evil of Itself. It Imperils busi
ness, panders to Ignorance and preju
dice and tends to prevent that study of
the real causes of social and industrial
Ills which must precede their correc
tion. Protection Invites investigation
and the Republicans of Massachusett
challenge comparison between Its tuag'f
nltlccnt results from the beginning of
the government to the present time and
the disasters and failures which have
resulted from the opposite policy when
ever it has been put In practice."
in the clear cut and sharp pointed
statement that "the habit of charging
to the tariff whatever evils, real or Im
agined, alllict the country has become
an evil of Itself" is found an expres
sion of truth worthy of the highest ad
miration. It is precisely this truth
that needs to be kept In mind In these
times of "progressive" tendencies and
the evolution of the lowa idea—"pro
gressive" toward the fatal folly of
free trade, with the vicious and false
Idea that the tariff must be torn In
pieces In order that foreign competi
tion may be brought Into regulate do
mestic prices. The Massachusetts Idea
Is better—to touch the tariff only when
the proposed changes "are of sufficient
Importance to Justify the check to
business which Inevitably attends any
revision of the tariff." Of course
changes In the Dlngley tariff will at
Bome time be made, but not now. There
Is no change required now that Is so
urgent as to Justify the damage that
would come to all business, all Indus
try. In making this matter clear the
Massachusetts Republicans have earn
ed the thanks of every lover of his
country and Its prosperity,.
Religion Enriches Life.
Religion satisfies because it enriches
life. It opens the way into a new kind
of joy. It brings Into play a new
range of activity. Thus Jesus said
that he came that we might have life
and that we might have it more abun
dantly. He came to widen out the cir
cle of human appreciation. The pur
pose of religion thus considered is akin
with the purpose of all progress. It Is
to teach new truth, to awaken new
aspiration, to develop new possibilities,
to round out more fully the natural Ufa
of man.—Kev. George Hodges, Pitta
