The Pace That Kills.
Fast Work and Fast Eating Make Three
Score Years and Ten a Ripe Old
Age in Tbese Days. : -
(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Tbe American people live too fast, eat
too fast and drink too fast. This has
brought upon many of ns a train of nervous
and stomach disorders that are very diffi
cult to manage. Investigation and chemical
analysis to discover such compounds as will
help those suffering from such ills has re
sulted in the discovery of Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, which has taken
very high rank as a specific remedy. -
H. P. Owens, a traveling man thirty
years of age, who is well known in this
community and generally liked because he
is a bright, energetic young fellow, resides
with his mother at 835 Central Avenue,
Cincinnati, Ohio. He has been a victim of
dyspepsia which took the form'of continu
ous constipation, and, strangely enough,
his mother suffered from the same trouble.
Mr. OweDs testified to the merits of Pink
Pills in a most enthusiastic way, and said
to the Enquirer reporter:
' "I am glad to say anything r can for Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, because they did me
great good, and other people ought to know
of their virtues as a medicine in stomach
troubles. It was some, time ago when I
felt a heavy feeling in my stomach, and I
grew very constipated. I did not consult a
doctor, but having heard of the Pink Pills I
bought a box of them. In two or three
days the heavy feeling in my stomach dis
appeared and my bowels were regular. I
did not have to use more than a box of
them before I was well. Since that time I
have only occasionally been troubled with
constipation, and I never get worried, be
cause I know just what to do. Mother was
also troubled with indigestion and the
Pink Pills did the sumo for her they did
for me cured her, didn't they, mother."
When appealed to Mrs. Owens answered:
'That is right. I found it was a great
med icioc, so easy to take and so quick and
lasting in its results."
Mr. Owens continued:' "I believe that
these pills are also good for nervousness.
When I had my stomach trouble I was also
quite nervous and that disappeared with
the dyspepsia. The Pink Pills were all that
is claimed for them. You can make any
use of this testimonial you 6ee lit."
H. P. Owens has occupied several posi
tions of trust in this city. Ho was for a
time an employe of the Commercial-Gazette.
He will go on the road in a few days for a
prominent business liouse hero. Mrs.
Owens is quite as enthusiastic as her son
about the Pink Pills and her host of lady
friends can verify her good opinion of this
wonderful remedy if they feel disposed to
do so at any time. Where the. testimony
is so general and unanimous as to the ex-
cellcncies of Pink Pills as tho Enquirer has
found it to be there is certainly good reason
to believe all the good things said about
the safe and simple remedy.

llroke the Tobacco Trust.
St. Louis, Mo., (Special) Col. Wm.
A. Kirchhoff, general western manager
of the American Tobacco Co.. has
startled his numerous friends by stop
ping the use of tobacco. For years na
had smoked twenty strong cigars dally,
and a lees quantity would leave mm
nervous and ill. The habit was under
mining his health, and he tried to quit,
but could not, until he took No-To-Bac,
the medical miracle that has cured
so many thousands of tobacco-usera.
Col. Kirchhoff's craving for tobacco haa
entirely gone, and he feels better than
ever before. He is a great No-To-Bac
enthusiast now. Over 300,00 bad tobacco-users
have been cured by No-To-Bac,
and the loss to tobacco manu
facturers is easily over 110,000,000 a

Agricultural Chemistry.-
Chemistry as the handmaiden of agri
culture has achieved a wonderful suc
cess. Fertilizing the fields has not only,
become a well understood business, but
is an exact science. There are methods
of recovering waste products and utiliz
ing heretofore useless matter. It is
known what is required to produce the
best potatoes and other crops, each ona
having supplied to it the chemical ne
cessities of its existence. Land, sea
and the elements are taxed to furaisa
the constituents necessary to the best
growth of vegetation. It would have
been a surprise to our . ancestors had
they been told that there are common
plants which derive a very small por
tion of their subsistence from the soil,
but are fed from the air and water;
therefore, to understand the theories of
drainage, rainfall, evaporation and ab
sorption are matters of the utmost mo
ment. To nothing does agriculture owe
such a debt as to science, for by Its
means the waste places of the eartn
can be made ppductlve, and by the
introduction of new chemical elements
malarial and unwholesome soils are
made fertile and transformed into
bealthy and agreeable dwelling places.
CONGRESSIONAL.
: Jan. ft, The session ot the House was exceed
ingly brief. Mr. Brodcrick of Kansas preferred
a request for unanimous consent for the swear
ins in of Clarence E. Allen, elected to represent
hi new State of Utah. He explained that
.Mr. Allen's election was regular, and there
was no contest, but, as tho Governor and
other State ofh'ceri did not assuma tlmr
:offices, under tho President's proclama
tion, until to-day, their signatures) to
-Mr. Allen's credential of coarsa had not
been attache!. Mr. Criip did not question the
jfacts, as stated, but thought Mr. Allen should
Jnot be sworn in until a report had baea made
jupon the case by a committee. The matter was
(therefore referred to the judiciary committee,
'with leave to report at any time. On Mr Hitt's
.'motion a resolution was adopted appointing
; Hon. William Ij. Wilson on the board of re
:sents of the Smithsonian institute. . At 12:.0
! the house adjourned uatU ta-:corrjw.
! Jan. 7. The Senate was treated to one of
'Senator Vest's characteristic speeches. He ar-'
raigned tho Supreme court for th income tax
.decision: he laid tho responsibility for tho
; lack of revenue at their door, when they ex
empted the "sordid wealth cf the land" from
.'taxation; he contrasted the records of the
present and past administrations; he de
;no:liced finansial dependence of this country
;aad others upon the monied influence;
he attacked tli3 President and Secre
tary of Treasury for their proposition
to retire the frreenbacks and piace the ciriula
;tion in the hands of the National banks;
quoted Secretary Carlisle against himself, and,
-in conclusion, declared tho conflict between bi
metallism and gold standard was irrepressi
ble, and that ths sooner it was decided the
,'bett.T it wou'd bo for our public and private
life The other feature of tho session grew out
of ths introduction by Mr. Chandler of a bill
.'for a popular loan thiousjh tho issuo of postal
pavings certificates In the courseof Mr. Chand
; ler's remarks, the cable replies of the Prince of
; Wales, the Rothschilds and others to the Xew
;York World woro allulsd to, and Mr. Lodge
claimed that the editor of tho World had been
'.guilty of violating Section 5;3j ol the Revised
I Statutes, in holding communication
j with official of another government,
.til 3 purpose of which "was to interfere with a
j measure of tho United States." Mr. Gray, of
Delaware, rebuked both Mr. Lodge and Mr.
; Chandler for the suggestion that public opinion
; could not be solicited either hero or abroad on
'.any question, and affirmed that a just public
opinion in all civilized C3nters mnst both final
f arbitrator of all disputes. Mr. Jones, Demo
jcrar, of Arkansas, reported from tho finance

House bond bill an 1 gavs notico that ho would

The . The The
Best Msto Test
There are two kinds of 'sarsaparilla: The best and the
rest. The trouble is they look alike. And when the rest
dress like the best who's to tell them apart? Well, "tho tree
is known by its fruit." That's an" old test and a safe one.
And the taller the tree the deeper the root. That's another
test. What's the root, the record of these sarsaparillas ? The
one with the deepest root is Ayer's. Tho ono with tho richest
fruit ; that, too, is Ayer's. Ayer's Sarsaparilla has a record of
half a century of cures; a record of many medals and awards
culminating in the medal of the Chicago World's Fair, which,
admitting Ayer's Sarsaparilla as tbe best shut its doors against
the"rest. That was greater honor than the medal, to be the only
- Sarsaparilla admitted as an exhibit at the World's Fair. If you
want to get the best sarsaparilla of your druggist, here's an
infallible rule : Ask for the best and you'll get Ayer's. Ask
- for Ayer's and you 11 get the best. - - -
