ST. JOSEPH, MICH.,'Sept., 1901.-Last
winter I caught a sudden cola which, de
veloped into an unpleasant catarrh
of the.head and throat, depriving me of my
tppetite and usual good spirits. A friend
who had been cured by Pcruna adrised me
to try it and I sent lor a bottle at once,
and I am. glad to say that in three days
the phlegm had loosened, and I felt better,
- my appetite returned and within nine days
I was m my usual good health.

"About a year ago," writes a N. T.

especially during the forenoon. ]
tried several remedies without any
permanent improvement.
"My breakfast usually consisted ol
oatmeal, steak or chops, bread, coffee
and some fruit.
"Hearing so much about Grape
Nuts, I concluded to give It a trial
and find out if all I had heard of lt
was true.
"So I began with Grape-Nuts and
.cream, two soft bolled eggs, toast, a
cup of Postum and some fruit. Be
fore the end of the first week I was
rid bi the acidity of the stomach and
felt much relieved.
"By the end of tne second week all
traces of indigestion had disappeared
and I was in first rate health once
more. Before beginning this course
of diet I never had any appetite for
lunch, but now I can enjoy a hearty
meal at noon time." "There's a Rea

IS HE LEPER OR NOT?
Early Declares He is Being
Held Without Just Cause
HIS WIFE MAY STAY WITH HIM
Former North Carolina Man, in Spite
of the Fact That the District of
Columbia Health People Are Abso
lutely Certain aa to Their Diagno
sis, Declare* He Is Not Afflicted
With Leprosy and Refuses to Al
low Injections of Filtrate Dato His
Body.
--\
"Washington, D. C., Special.-John
R. Early, formerly of Lynn, N. C.,
.who has been pronounced a leper, and
on this account has been kept isolated
in a tent under the guard of the health
authorities of the District of Colum
bia, declares that he does not now and
never has admitted that he is afflicted
with leprosy. He took a stiff, decided
stand against the idea of bis having
leprosy Friday. when the physicians
who have charge of his treatment
proposed to inject what is known as
the Nastin treatment, being a series
of injections of a filtrate of leprosy
into his body. He said that he did
not have leprosy and that the injec
tion might give it fc> him.
Dr. W. C. Fowler, of the District
health department, claims, on the
other hand, that he and the other
physicians who have examined Early
are "absolutely certain" that Early
has leprosy. ' Says he:
"If Early is not suffering from lep
rosy, no man ever had that disease.
There is no doubt in the world about
his having leprosy, and we infer from
the fact that he has remained silent
throughout the past month that he is
convinced. We appreciate, as much
as Early or any one else, what a se
rious thing it would he to isolate a
man unless we were absolutely certain
he was afflicted with leprosy."
Early insists that there is fi mis
take and expresses a desire and an in
tention, if it shall be allowed, of hav
ing himself examined by other physi
cians. Dr. Fowler says further:
"The health office does not deny
Early the right to have himself ex
amined by any doctor, scientist,
pathologist, or medical man he may
see flt to employ. He was pronounced
a leper by a doctor who has seen
hundreds of cases. Besides this, the
appearance of his face and *body, the
swellings so characteristic of -leprosy,
and the way he tells attending doc
tors how he feels prove beyond any
shadow of a doubt that he is a leper
and should be isolated for the com
mon good."
Since it has been decided that the
State of North Carolina cannot be
required by law to take care of Early,
and since he has been granted a pen
sion by the Pension Bureau, careful
consideration has been given to the
question as to what shall be done
with him. He is still in his tent over
on the banks of the Potomac river,
near the smallpox hospital, in what
has been termed by some an exceed
ingly unhealthful locality, though
there is another opinion about the
healthfulness of the place. His wife
has rented a cottage nearby, and she
visits him every day, spending several
hours talking with him. Guards are
stationed there to see that she does
not come into personal contact with
him, and she is kept under watch,
and will be. So long as she does not
touch him, the authorities say there
is not the slightest danger of con
tagion through her..
The health officials have a plan for
erecting a cottage for Earlv and his
family, maintining a guar? at the
home day and night. It may even
be that Mrs. Ear?y will be permitted
to live with her husband in the same
room, provided she agrees to isolate
herself" for the rest of her life. But
the details of the plan have not been
completed yet. The health officials
realize the great difficulty of keeping
husban 1 and wife apart when they
are determined upon uniting. It is
about as difficult a task as making
husband and wife Uve with each other
when they do not want to. But they
are turning their minds to the solu
tion of the problem, however difficult.
Early meantime continue to read
his Bible and to philosophize, as has
been his wont since his-first segrega

Scheme Projected
JUDGE TAFT SPEAKS ON PLAN
Officers of the Lakes to the Golf
Deep Waterway Association, Which
Met in Third Annual Session Wed
nesday in Chicago, Believe That
Some Day There Will Be a Deep
Channel From Lake Michigan to
the Gulf bf Mexico.
Chicago, Special-A picture of days
when stately ships shall carry the
rich products of the central States
from the Great Lakes to the Gulf
of Mexico through a deep waterway,
returning with produets of no leas
value, was conjured up before the
delegates and visitors to the third
annual convention of the Lakes to the
Gulf Deep Waterway Association by
?ble speakers headed by Winiam H.
Taft. The day's utterances were au
thoritative for they came from Secre
tary Saunders, of the association;
President Kavanaugh, head of the or
ganization; Governor Charles S. De
neen, of Illinois, 'who spoke of the
first link of the great waterway, the
Chicago drainage canal and William
EL Taft, who had the general supervi
sion in Washington of the building of
the Panama canal until he resigned to
become the presidential nominee of
the Republican party.
The need of such a waterway was
insisted upon by every speaker. The
question of transportation, it.was de
cleared, is one of the most serious
questions with which this country has
to deal. Mr. Taft's insistence that
the deep waterway and the conserva
tion of the national resources were
related subjects; which called for
immediate action, elicited great ap
plause. His statement that the'wa
terway was not a project, but a pol
icy, found a ready response in cheers
of his auditors. .
"We find," said Mr. Taft, "'that
during the ten years ending with 1905
the internal commerce of our country
increased 113 per cent, while railroad
transportation facilities during the
?ame time increased only 20 per cent,
[t has been pointed out that to supply
this deficiency by the construction of
additional railroads and necessary ter
aiinals would require a capital invest
ment of $5,500,000.000 and this con
struction when completed would make
no provision for the further increase
of our commerce. The only solution
of this problem, the speaker found in
deep waterways.*'
Thc convention opened at 10 o'clock
with a prayer by Bishop Samuel Fal
lows, of Chicago. William K. Kava
naugh, president of the association,
then delivered his annual address and
William F. Saunders, secretary, read

GETTING CHILDREN TO CHURCH.
The mother of seven sons, three
of whom were ministers of the gos
pel, one a United States senator, and
the rest prominent business men, said
recently:
"When my boys were small, my
toilet on SUD day morning was fre
quently completely under cover of a
'circular' while on the way to church,
but I always got my seven little
men to morning service!"
A herculean task! some of us,
whose families are smaller, will ex
claim. But it really ls not so, If
preparations are commenced in time,
and that time is Saturday night. Get
the children to bed a full hour earlier
than usual on that- evening. Aftt;
a long day's play out of doors, they
really require more rest. See that
thoy get it, that. there may be no
"sleepy heads" on Sunday morning.
But it is just as important that the
mother should wake up on that morn
ing with no dragging trail of weari
ness from the day before. Just thia
little thread of exhaustion makes the
task of dressing the children seem
interminable. Even if some dutieE
have to remain undone until Monday,
get to bcd In sufficient season to
secure a good leng night's rest on
Saturdry night. Saturday is always
a. tiring day, anyhow. **But do not
allow it? claims to take too much
of your vitality. Remember that the

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.
Does Not Need the Sympathy of Aay j
One, Thank You.
Every once in a while there is a
leluge of articles on the country edi
or, says the Washington (Iowa)
Democrat. The big papers are al
vays discussing the country rditor.
rhey handle them with glove.: on,
is if they were some pest that had to
>e handled gingerly or that might be
latching, like measles or smallpox.
Dr they might he liable to break out'
n a new place, like wild Indians.
What is the use? Who asks the
)ig papers for any patronage or for
tnj encouragement, or for any odds,
'or that matter? Surely, we do not.
tYe say, we get tired of it.
The country editor is as indepsn
lent as a hog on ice, compared to the
)ig city editor. O?. course, he defers
o his biggest advertiser. When his
biggest advertiser's daughter gets
named he swears by the long horn
ipoon that she is a fairy nymph
vhen ten to one her feet don't track
ind her hat is on crooked. He defers
o his "oldest subscriber," who pays
:or a dozen copies to send to kin, and
vhen he comes to town he speaks of |
'our prominent citizen, Mr. Doo
lab," and writes nice pieces about
he team he drives and about how
iberal he is at the church and in
sharity, when he knows doggone well
hat he pays the preacher in scabby
)otatoes and talks low to save wear j
ind tear on his vocal cords and makes
lis wife go barefoot in summer to
?ave shoe leather. However, aside
'rom that the country editor is as
ndependent as we said he was.
But he asks no odds from his city
?rother, and, dad bump his pictures,
ie doesn't ask for any nice pieces
o be written about him. He eats
liree square meals a day if he can
fet them, and if not he writes nice
>:eccs about a land that flows with
uilk and honey and swears, "by
rum," that his party is entitled to
he credit.
Ask favors from our city broth
es?
Not on your chin whiskers. The
irfuntry editor breathes the pure,
'ree air of liberty, and you get more
>atriotism in the average country
lapcrr in a week than you get in the
>ig city daily in a coon's age. The
ountry editor thinks he believes
vhat he writes, while half the city
di tors-we paean thc political and
eligious writers-write what they
ire paid to write. Thus many a
Democrat is boosting for the Repub
ican party, while the Republican ed
tor writes nice pieces about Bryan,
n the country, bless your life, we
ive near to nature and near to our
ri tics, who find us out before we
ind out ourselves. If we renig on
ny proposition, before sundown half
. dozen offended subscribers- are- in
he office trying to stop their vile
?aper.
Tell us . the country editor has a
lard lot? May be he has, but he is
t least on the square. He believes
irhat he says, unless it is his big ad
crtiser, who believes it for him. But
ou come a good deal nearer to the
acts than you do in the city paper,
vhere the work is done by scores of |
i-riters, and nobody is actually re
ponsible, because nobody knows who
lie guilty party may be.
The -country editor-bless you, 1
ces just as many funny things u..d
aughs up his sleeve at them just the
ame as you big city editors do. He
ces shams and pretense and the new
ich and the men who work religion
md those who try to work the lodge
md those who are bosses and those
vho think they are, but he jnst
aughs. As James Whitcomb Riley
ays of Old Jap Miller, "He just
hawed on." So we just chaw on.
Never mind writing nice pieces
ibout the. country editors. You may
'eel sorry for them, but don't let
hem find it out, or you might find
?ourself in contact with a stuffed
:lub. It is all right to feel sorry
'or them, but you had better not say
inything about it. Many of them are
vhere they are from choice. There
ire country editors who could com
mand more conspicuous positions, but
hey prefer that life of ease and lux
iry and affluence and high living and
ndependencc and independent think
ng to any of your measly little
ooped-up, narrow, hack-writing city
iditorships. Now, is that clear? If
o, then pass the pie.
Embarrassing.
A colored woman of Ak-xandria,
Virginia, was on trial before a magis
rale of that town charged with in

A Thought For Today.
Above all, that I may not be a cow
ard. That I may have courage-cour
age to be unmoved by the uncertain
ties of life, and without dread of loss,
whether of friends, of health, or of
fortune. That I may come with a finn
aad tranquil mind to the work of this
day, fearing nothing-ready to meet
bravely failure or deprivation.
That I may bring to the day's ef
forts, good humor and cheerful regard
for all with whom I may come into
contact.
That I may be diligent in the per
formance of duties and cheerful iv
manner. That I may be earnest in
pursuit of the right.
That I may stand with open mind
ready to receive the Truth in small
affairs and in large-whether in learn
ing new and better methods, or in re
ceiving that philosophy necessary to a
brave, tranquil, well-poised, well-har
monized life.-John Brisben Walker,
in Cosmopolitan.

Backache and Kidney Trouble Slowly

Mrs. R. Crouse, Fayette St., Manz

my back was weak
and rheuma tic. Pains
ran through my back,
hips and limbs. I
could hardly get
about and lost much
sleep. The action of
the kidneys was much
fl disordered. I began
using Doan's Kidney
Pills, and the result
was remarkable. The kidney action
became normal, the backact.e ceased

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with" local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
Catarrh lo be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

THE FUTILE WAY.
(S. E. Kiser, in Chicago Record-Her
ald.)
Sou cannot aid by sitting back
And scoffing at what others do,
Or sighing for the things you lack,,
Or wishing luck might come to you.
You cannot aid by looking sad
Or envy some favored one
Who, with a chance you never had,
Has done what you, too, might have
done.
Sou cannot win by sitting still
And waiting for the lucky day,
While some one else goes forth to fill
The part you have the gifts to play.
