more to you than most people's, for we
offer to give you the first bottle of our

refund their money.
All we ask of you Is to try Dr. Miles’
Restorative Nervine for your complaint.
If you suffer fiom sleeplessness, nervous

cular twitchlngs, melancholy, loss of
memory, weak stomach, poor blood,
bilious troubles, cpil^isy, St. Vitus'
Danco, etc., wc will guarantee to benefit
you or refund your money.
You are the doctor.

“I was troubled for several
years with chronic indigestion and
nervous debility,'’ writes F. ,1.
Green, of Lancaster, X. II. “No
remedy helped me until 1 began
using Electric Bitters, which did
me more good than till the medi
cines 1 ever used. They have also
kept my wife in excellent health
for years. She says Electric Bit
ters are just splendid for female
troubles; that they are a grand
tonic and invigorator for weak,
run down women. No other med

HALE SEX DEGENERATING?
Secretary Shaw Says the World is
Producing Higher Class of
Women Than Men.
The following by Secretary of
the Trt'U-ury Shaw should be of
intere i u> all parents. The fu
ture of the count.\ depends large
ly upon how we raise our hoys.
In this connection we would like
to say that we believe it is to the
interest of our people to assist in
enforcing the curfew law recent
ly passed by our town council.
The place for every boy—or gill
either—after the day is spent is at
home. It is bad enough for boys
to loaf around on the streets
through the day, as we see many
of them doing, but it is far worse
for them to be out after night.
Make home pleasant for them and
remember that there is more truth
than poetry in the old adage that,
“As the twig is bent, so the tree
grows.’” Head what Secretary
Shaw says:
“It may- always have been so,
but it is specially true today that
the world is producing a higher
type of womanhood than of man
hood. In all our towns and cities
there are more young women
whom you would welcome to your
homes as daughters-in-law than
young men whom you would wel
come as sons-in-law.”’
“There are reasons why this is
so, but there is no excuse that it
is so. There is nothing in the
world so well worth looking after
as the boy. and there is no being
in the world so neglected as the
boy. There is little place, scant
room for him. lie is welcome in
the home as a baby, and he is wel
come as a man, but there is scant
welcome for him as a boy.
“We chaperon our girls, and
not too carefully, but we leave the
boy to choose his associates and
his achievements with much advice
and very little guidance. Girls
are naturally winsome, gentle,
companionable, and they win their
way to, and are welcome in all
homes, but I do not know of many
homes where boys are invited,
About the only door that
swing.-? with sure welcome to the
boy; about the only chair that is
shoved near the fire especially for
the boy; about the only place
where he is sure of a cordial greet
ing, is where you do not desire
him to go.
“It is about the hardest tiling in
the world to get hold of a boy—to
get a sure grip on him. It is pret
ty hard to win the companionship
of your boy.
“You think you know some
thing about him; but perhaps that
is very little, Very likely he knows
more about you than you do about
him. Yet that boy is hungry for
companionship and he will have it.
He wants the companionship of
boys. Nothing will take its place.
I think that boys, as a rule, pre
fer boys’ schools.
“If permitted to they will quit
the public schools if given nothing
I but young girls as teachers. They
may remain under the tuition of
matronly women, but not under
the tuition of girls. It is not a
question of who is the best teach
er. It is a question of compan
ionship.
“If the Twentieth Century shall
succeed in finding the boy, it wil
be because the boy succeeds ii
| finding himself.”

The Candidate.
(). he's a jolly fellow and full of
vain conceits, and sees a bosom
friend in every one he meets. He
asks about your family, your
horses and your hogs, and takes a
friendly interest in the children
and the dogs. Oh, he's a jolly
gentleman, gamesome as a lamb,
lithesome as a meadow lark, happy
as a clam. 11 is prospects are the
brightest, and his chances they are
sure, and he spends his money
freely and helps the needy poor.
He goes to church on Sunday and
his quiet traits appear, but when
necessary lit will then set up the
beer. Oh, he's a sanguine, bouy
ant duck, fclu jocund candidate, he
starts out early in the morning
and stays until it's late. His pa
tient wife unlocks the door, and
with a look of pain she says: “You
needn't lie to me; your leg’s been
pulled again.'’—Ex' ,

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE
Something of the Vast Wealth of
the Territory Bought From
the Great Napoleon.
Now that great preparations are
being made at St. Louis for the
celebration of the one hundredth
anniversary of this great event in
our nation’s history. Jt will be of
interest to our readers to have set
before them in epitome what the
domain then purchased now em
braces.
1 lie western boundaries or the
territory indued in that purchase
were somewhat indefinite, but the
area involved consisted of nearly
one million square miles. Four
teen of our states and territories
now lie wholly or in part within
the limits of the purchase. This
area is about seven times that of
Great Britain and Ireland; it is
four times the size of the German
Empire, and is greater than Great
Britain, Germany, France, Port
ugal and Italy combined.
Within the territory then pur
chased from France there now
dwell fifteen million people' That
is to say, by a curious co ii idenee,
a century after the purcuase of
Louisiana took place tha> tcrn <<
contains a human being fm
dollar paid for it. In St. Louts,
where the purchase is to be cele
brated, the United States govern
ment now collects each year a re
venue greater than the price pc"* .
Napoleon for relinquishing In
dream of colonial empire on tin
side of the Atlantic.
At the time when Livingston
and Monroe committed their coun
try to the transaction, the price of
fifteen million collars was consid
ered an enormous sum. Within
the territory thus pui - d the
value of the manul
ducts alone in 1900 uas. ;»1 192,
863,129, while the value of farm
products in 1899 wa Si,457.f>38,
338. In each of the-e years the
value of one class of product -done
was one hundred times tie price
of the purchase.
