DYSPEPSIA. Nervous Dyspepsia. Caused me Great Distress for a Number of Years. Finally I was Cured by D*. Miles' Nervine. An active mind, suffering from overexertion, grief, trouble, worry of household cares, demands from the body a greater amount of fuel for the vital fires than the digestive organism can supply. It requires a certain amount of vital force to operate the human machine, and when all the available supply of force is absorbed by the overworked brain there is noth ing left for the stomach. It is easy now to understand why irritability and dyspepsia have become almost synonymous; why a nervous person is usually so very particular and capri cious about food. It is an almost un disputed fact that no marked progress can be made toward the ultimate cure of any disease until the mind is put into that calm, serene condition which is natural to people in full bodily health and vigor.

It is a brain and nerve food and tonic whose important ele-j ments, acting upon tiie body and mind! with equal force, possesses remarkable! efficiency in nervous disorders. "I had been troubled with dyspepsia, for nearly thirty years and two years ago I was taken with a nervous trouble which caused me much distress. I could not eat nor sleep, was losing strength and flesh and was melancholy and very unhappy. I employed the best phy sicians who said the trouble was with my nerves, but they were unable to do me any good. I tried several advertised medicines and at last began taking Dr. Miles' Nervine. By the time the first bottle was half gone I could sleep some, could eat a little and the world seemed to get right side up agaiu. I kept right on taking the Nervine and when I had used fifteen bottles my stomach trouble was gone, and I felt well and strong. I feel very grateful for the good I have received FREELAND TRIBUNE.

Under the heading "Whiskey Perdi tion in Manila," the Michigan Christian Advocate prints the following choice excerpt, which It, characterizes as "glee ful," from the Wine and Spirit News , one of the leading liquor papers of the country. It indicates in a very untuistak ablo way a phase of tho vaunted enter prise that is pushing this nation into imperialistic expansion wherever it can in the earth, and with all the power 1 hat is involved in and lies behind it. The excerpt is called a choice one, ; because it is believed to bo a piece of • writing difficult, if not impossible, to ! match in certain qualities and a tono ! whicij, if he can sufficiently master his j disgust, the reader can bo trusted to ! discern and feel the force of more effect ■ ually left to himself than by any aid I that may be proffered him. Said ex- I ponent, as we may venture to call it, of the prevalent commercialism of the land at tiiis hour, says: As one result of American occupancy of Manila, the liquor business has reached enterprising proportions, and is now considered as one of the leading, as well as one of the respectable, kinds of business. Nays one correspondent: "On the Escolta, tho principal street, only a quarter of a mile long, there were but two places where intoxicating liquors were sold when we entered the city, whereas now there are eighteen. There are 300 licensed places in the city where liquors may be obtained, licenses costing three dollars a year. • The income of the largest, the Alhatu bra, is stated on good authority to be S7OO a night. Already the street-cars are topped with large signs detailing the exquisite qualities of certain whiskies. One-quarter of the daily I issue of the principal English newspaper published is devoted to extolling the A Cure for Constipation. I have been troubled with constipation for years. It was ruining my health, my com fort and my complexion, and I am glad to aay that Celery King has restored all three, and this after trying many other medicines that were supposed to he good, but which were of no value whatever. I would like to tell every suffering woman what (Celery King has done for me.—Nellie Gould, Medina,!Jhlo Celery King cures Const! pat ion and all dis eases of the Nerves, Stomach, Liver and K id nejs. bold by druggists. 25c and 50c.. 8 from Dr. Miles' Nervine and would be glad if I could induce some other poor suffer to give it a trial." MRS. JENNIE COE, Warren, Ohio. "I was very nervous and restless and weak and through the advice of a friend I bought a bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervine, which cured me entirely. Seeing how much benefit I received from the medicine, my husband, who suffered from nervous dyspepsia and indigestion in a very severe form, thought he would give it a trial, fie was very weak and nervous and was able to sleep but little. After using three bottles of the Nervine he could eat well and sleep well. My husband is very happy to think he has recovered from that terrible dis ease which had made his life miserable for over three years and he says he will always speak a good word for Dr. Miles' Nervine."

Ind. perfection of a brand of beer, while the largest drug store in town devotes a whole column to advertising its fine line of liquors, with no mention of Its j medicines." The Advocate in commenting upon this remarkable declaration, speaks in strong terms of the "ire" which almost necessarily must be aroused "against a national administration which will per mit such a diabolical revolution as the above indicates in a conquered city." The Pennsylvania Methodist , employing still more vigorous and pointed lang uage, says: It is a condition of affairs in Manila that President McKinley could have prevented with the same authority that he put a stop to the bull fights of the Spaniards, and the chicken lights of Malays. Ho, however, permitted that over which the liquor paper gloats, and did it in the interest of the American distiller and brewer, and evidently for the purpose of capturing in a second election the saloon vote. Then, quoting the question of another, the editor of the Methodist pointedly asks: What could tho boss distiller, brewer, or saloon-keeper of this country have done for tho saloon if he had been president that McKinley has not done? Let tho reader not get angry, but calmly and candidly think that query over. Suffering Porto Rico. From the Philadelphia North American. Dispatches from Porto Rico show that the condition of the island which wel comed our troops so enthusiastically is most deplorable. "There is no money to plant now crops or to pay laborers, thousands of whom are on the point of starvation. The local press expresses the opinion that the conditions were better during tho darkest days of the Spanish regime." Imagine that, and try to put yourself in the place of the American citizen who is willing to have that shame re main upon the American Hag because ho thinks that if the starving Porto Ilicans were allowed to sell their pro ducts freely in our markets, as the president has recommended, his profits might be diminished by their competi tion. Suppose that when we were expanding so blithely in August, 1898—when the Porto Ricans were scattering (lowers before our invading soldiers and shout ing "Vivan los Americanos!"—some cynical, unpatriotic, Small American had said: "What fools! These people have seen their best days. Spain has been their true benefactor. Spain has made them prosperous. Under our rule their industries will decay, their labor ers will starve, their crops will rot on their wharves, and we shall let them go to ruin, so that they may not bother us in our markets." What should we have said to the base libeler of his country? The present condition of Porto Itico would have been absolutely incredible and inconceivable to Americans of two years ago. We thought we knew our own hearts, and we should have said with entire confidence that wherever our flag went it would go as a messen ger of benediction. lias a year and a half of empire stripped us of all the fine feelings of humanity with which we wont into the war for Cuban liberty and turned us into a race of mercenary op pressors? Many Pennsylvania towns voted favorably on Tuesday on the question of municipal ownership of light and water plants. A GIRL OUTLAW. Remarkable Career of "the Wild Rose of Wilton." Within the gloomy walls of a Con necticut prison, drooping and pining for the wilderness of the forest, lan guishing for the lack of the sunlight, is "the Wild Rose of Wilton," says the New York Herald. Not yet out of her teens. Minnie Sturm, brown eyed and beautiful, has had a career that well might puzzle a philosopher to account for. Reared in a quiet, old fashioned house near Norwalk, thiß girl, with a rich profusion of dark brown hair, with hands soft and white, with a beauty such that many a maiden of lordly birth might envy her, untutored and in tatters, is yet a queen of men, lawless men though they are. Not more than a mile from her home, beneath the shelter of two great rocks, was a rendezvous of a maraud ing band of idlers. There this farmer's daughter found them about two years ago. She cast her life with theirs. When a raid on neighboring cellars and hen roosts made provisions plentiful there in the rendezvous, it was Minnie Sturm (Minnie Brotherton) who cook ed the viands over a fire of logs. But the band became too daring. The band of the low seized them. Some were imprisoned and the others scat (Minnie Sturm.) ' tered. Minnie Brotherton promised to mend her ways and the lenient authori ties let her go her way. For a short time she lived quietly, but not contentedly, in the old house. A few months later she married Valen tine Sturm, of Norwalk, and went to live with the family of her husband. Her stay there was remarkably short. Seven months after she left him, and in the winter of 1898 applied to the Se lectman of Norwalk for support. Bhe was sent to the Town Farm. Even there she showed her wild ten dencies. She fell in love with a pauper, "Jim" Collins, a gray bearded man with a wooden leg. One day they eloped from the Almshouse, an 1 for several days there was no trace of them. Then Collins limped back to the institution and was restored to his former place, but the "Wild Rose" had no love for life in an Almshouse, and she soon found a companion In Howard Dauchy. A few days ago Dauchy and the "Wild Rose" entered the Norwalk Selectman's office and applied for ad mission to the Poorhouse. Instead of accommodating them the Selectman notified Strum. ho pre ferred a charge of infidelity against his wife. It was learned, too. that they had borrowed a horse and wagon to drive to the Town Clerk's office, say ing they wished to get a marriage li cense. The horse and wagon were not ieturned, and a charge of horse theft v/as made. The "Wild Roff's" indignation was aroused. She first pleaded with the owner to withdraw his charge, promis ing to bring back his horse and wagon. He was determined to send her to Jail, and refused. "You'll never see that horse again!" the "Wild Rose" ex claimed. "I'll go to jail and stay there." And she did. An Historic Farm. The Warwick farm of 515 acres, five mile* !rom Spring Field, Chester Coun ty, Pa., around which cluster interest ing memories, was the other day sold by the heirs of Thomas K. Sterrett tJ Albert Maerz, of Reading, for 112.000. On the farm stood the old Warwick furnace, built in 1730, and at which many of the cannons used in the Rev olutionary army were cast. In the meadows many of them were buried to prevent them from falling into the hands of the British after the battle of Brandywine, in 1777, when General Washington and his army were re treating northward through Chester County, leaving this important iron furnace exposed to the mercy of the enemy. Several of the cannons were dug up and some sent to the Centennial Expo sition in Philadelphia in 1876 and ex hibited as relics. The old bell cast in 1777 at this furnace and used in the belfry for a great number of years is now in Independence Hall, in Philadel phia, as a relic. The Word "Admiral." The word "admiral" is of Arabic crJgin, and dates back to the time of ihe Crusades; it is but another form of the familiar Eastern titles, Emir and Ameer, and simply signifies prince. The D is intrusive and there is no connec tion with the Latin "mare," the sea. or vith the root from which we get ad miral. In European mouths the word has been variously contorted; the Teu tonic races have Introduced the D and suffixed, instead prefixing the article, or we may consider it as a contraction of some such phrase as Admir-al-Bahr. prince of the sea. The Portuguese, again, have taken the article for the first syllable, and make Almirante, but there can be no doubt as to the identity of the word. As a nation the Arabs were never a maritime power, but after their conquest of Spain they found It necessary to have a naval force, and from them both office and name were adopted by the neighboring Powers. An Appalling Famine. The famine which Is spread over the greater portion of Bombay is daily be coming more acute. The enormous number of 951,523 men are employed on various relief works, but there are still millions of persons destitute for whom no relief can be provided and who must Inevitably starve to death unless im i mediate outside assistance is forth coming. THE EXPOUNDER. _ Love and money are dear absent fiiends that almost never meet. The pocket is the heart's ther mometer. Love may be a dream, but, thank God, it is a progressive and revolution ary dream. Eternity will show self-love to have been a horrible illusion. Creed crucifies love dally, not with a groan, but with a chuckle. "Good stuff," sayß man to money; "stuff,'' says echo. Every man thinks himself taxed for more than he is worth —and he gener ally thinks rightly. To shift capital is no great hardship —to shift without it is the rub When you get down to the bottom of human nature what do you find? Wickedness? Not at all—only weak- A thousand dollars for your dreams —lf you tell them true. "Arise, let us go," is Bible. "Let's sit down and dream" is /mother book. The timid soul is like the frog who dried up ashore for fear his colors wouldn't wash. Go ahead! Help yourself! Nobody will stop you, man, woman or child (in the way of honesty, of course), provid ed you are bold enough, and not too bold. No close time in "shooting folly as it flies"—if you see the game pull the trigger any day you like. To look man in the eye is the art of the commander—to look him in the soul is the gift of the poet. One half of the sum total of human energy is wasted in combatting its own inherent laziness. If all the actors would stop and think and all the thinkers start and act, the world would be better present ly. Nature is too straightforward, man is too twisted. Hearts are ventured once too often and are broken at last. When two meet, one must yield—ex cept in love. 0 We are being whirled along, like leaves in a gale, to tremendous issues —conscious, but careless. Heaven gives us enough to experi ence, more to hope, everything to im agine. Although charity cannot purchase heaven, heaven will gladly be given in exchange. Thank God, it does not require strength to build up strength—only vir tue and patience. All sins are equal or the penalty would not be the same. Some of the best souls have con quered the worst vices. The finishing touches of goodness are often wanting, so that what is excel lent is not charming. Our angels—those whom we are privileged to love and help.—H. A. Kendall, in the Boston Transcript. THE FOREIGNER. Ten days per annum is the average sickness in human life. Nearly 10 per cent, of the recipients of the Victoria Cross are military doc tors. Only one person In every four of the Inhabitants of London earns more than £1 a week. No person in Norway may spend more than threepence at one visit to a public-house. It is estimated that considerably over a million's worth of property is stolen annually in the United Kingdom. More than 2,000 people make a liv ing in Paris by fortune-telling, th lr total yearly earnings being estimated at £BOO,OOO. Iron visiting-cards, with the name printed in silver, are used in Germany. The cards are one four-ttundredth of an inch in thickness. Someone has calculated that the postmen of London walk, together, something like 48,360 miles per day, a distance equal to twice the circum ference of the globe. A vineyard on the Moselle, which contained only one acre of ground, re cently sold for £II,OOO, which is the highest price ever paid for the vine land in the Moselle territory, or, prob ably, in the whole of the Rhine d.s trict. The German Emperor's new stables are to cost about £400,000, and will ac commodate 270 horses and 300 vehicles. There will also be lodging-rooms for fifty married grooms and coachmen and their families, and for eighty single hostlers and other servants. THE MORALIST. The Intoxication of anger, like that of the grape, shows us to others, but hides us from ourselves. An old man is easier robbed than a young one, for his locks are few, and his gait is generally broken. Ever since Rebecca met Jacob at the well, mothers have been taking their marriageable daughters to watering places. It is said that people who change their minds often never get a betier one. They are, perhaps, not to blame for trying. There is a club in Penang, on the west coast of the Malay peninsula, composed of Chinese who hold debates in English. In Ireland an acre comprises seven ty-eight hundred and forty square yards, while in Scotland sixty-one hun dred and forty go to the acre. I find nothing so singular in life as this, that everything opposing appears to lose its substance the moment one actually grapples with It.—Hawthorne. Character is power; it makes friends, creates friends, draws patronage and support, and opens a sure and ea-y way to wealth, honor, and happiness.-- J. Hawes. THE MORALIST. Industry gives the devil no elbow room. Culture will never convert tares Into wheat. Many are sick of evil, without the courage to be well. True education never Induces con tempt of the Ignorant. To love upward is human, to love downward is divine. A good conscience is the best armor against column*. The Book of Life will last when all other biographies have burned. The body is the temple, the heart is the altar, love is the incense. A crack in a wall may be very small, Dut you can see a great deal through 't.
