Adopted by the 14th District
W. C. T. U. Conventiou
Held at N'apoleon, Juno
15, 10, 187.
Itesohed, lhat we are unalterably
true to the great work of suppressing
the manufacture, sale, importation,
exportation and transportation of in
toxicating liquors.
We emphatically declare against
"taxation without representation, "and
the recognition of sex in citizenship,
and in the name of right and justice
and eaualitv we pledge ourselves to
make everv possible effort to secure
the enfranchisement of woman,
That our W. C. T. U. women wear
the white ribbon on all occasions as a
badge of purity and loyalty
At our county fairs shows have
been admitted that were acknowledg
ed immoral in character by the very
fact that only men and boys were ad
mitted. As women we do most earn'
estly protest against the admission
of anv entertainment of a character
unfit for us to see. We believe that
it is as great a sin to deule the
thoughts and imaginations of one sex
as of the other, and while we value
our own purity too much to visit
such shows, we value equally the puri
ty of our sons, husbands and brothers,
and we most earnestly entreat that
the authorities governing thil matter
shall recognise their responsibility in
protecting the dignity of true man
hood. We beiieve that a great inteiest
should be aroused in the work of the
Purity Department, reaching, as it
does, into the homes and effecting in
dividual hearts and lives.
We will, therefore, watch the liter
ature that comes into our homos, and
the pictures displayed on our streets,
and we heartily endorse the action of
Congress in suppressing the display
of pictures of prize fights, that our
boys may not be educated in prize
fighting.

That we extend to the
Napoleon our Bincere
the cordial welcome to
citizens of

their homes giving to the members of
the 14th District W, C. T. U. Conven

Methodist and Presbyterian churches
who have so freely opened their hous

who have contributed to our happi

especially to the flower Mission for
their beautiful flowers, and the L. T.

in meeting us at the trains; to the lo

to make this convention a success; to
the entertainment committee and the

Losing
Flesh
You naturally lose flesh In

Is so easy. You get a little
weaker each day without hard
ly noticing it. There Is loss of
appetite, headache, weakness
of the muscles, disturbed sleep,
weakness of memory, and these
are the beginning of nervous
prostration. Iron and tonics
and bitters may afford some
temporary relief, but what you
need is a food for body, brain
and nerves.

Fmm Ute Evening
rjsinr as a nnclrat for his investigation
the rumor that the life of the daughter of
rranfc . Irout, well known in Detroit,
Mich., real estate cirrles, had been saved, a
reporter called on Mr. Trout at his office,
1U3 Uriswold Avenue. Sir. Trout showed
some hesitancy in giving his opinion for
publication, but finally laid: "Circnra
stances ana a father's love for his child
forced me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People, bat not until tiie whole medical
profession had exhausted their skill. At
the age of fourteen we had to take our
daughter from school owing to her health,
lieforo this she had been in the best of
health, happy and in the best ot spirits. She
began to fall away and became pale and
languid. She was so weak that she would
fall down in a faint every time she tried to
walk unsupported. The best of physicians
attended her, hut she continued to frow
weaker and seemed to be gradually fading
away.
" When she was fifteen she weighed only
ninety poumlj. and the doctors said it was
anxmia. Several physicians said she might
outerow it, but that it would no doubt ter
minate in consumption. No doctor we hod
could help her, and we concluded ourselves,
we must lose our child, as she was growing
weaker every day.
" We had tried all the well-known reme
dies, and finally nhout a vcar n!o I bought
box of Dr. Williums' Pink Pills for Pule
People and took them home. That day I
had read of a case about the same as my
daughter's, and decided to uiva them a
trial, though I must confess I did not
have much faith. Ilcfore she had taken all
of the firt box we noticed a clm:itfe for the

That we urge upon the young peo

The president of Henry county
spoke encouragingly of the increase
of temperance sentimont in this coun
ty, called Napoleon and its union the
Hub" around which the rest of the
county revolved, and said the North
west and Signal deserved a vote of
thanks for giving the W. C. T. U. so
generously space in their columns.
The L. T. L's. were enthusiastic ov.
er the convention, and met morning
and afternoon trains, with drums
beating and banners flying.

a constant inspiration. Although in
her seventy-ninth year, she is full of

May she live to be one hundred
and be with us at every convention.
Mrs. Felarice Hixson captured the
convention by her womanly grace as
well as the keenness and logic of her
lecture.
She is herself a mo3t beautiful il
lustration of the ideal "New Woman."
The music throughout was fine,
and the recitations most highly ap
preciated.
In our own individual opinion the
"School of Methods" was the finest
thing of the entire convention, and
we would that every man and woman
in the three counties had heard it.
It gave us all a better idea of the
wonderful results possible in the dif
ferent departments of Vi. 0. T. U.
work.

that Nicola Testa believes that the
day is not far distant, as science
measures time, when a serious at
tempt may be made to transmit in
telligence to the planet Mars,
1 he belief is the direct out growth
of his discovery that the earth is the
greatest conductor of telegraphic
messages, and that news, and even
power, may be conveyed from one
part of the the globe to another with
out the use of wires.
The incalculable forces stored in
the earth's bosom he lias learned to
chain, and chaining it has learned
how mighty it is. It is sufficient, he

does he believe that the intelligence of other
worlds is akin to that of our that he con
ceives and outlines a theory of rudimentary
signals upon which a code of communica
tion may be built up.
He is elate. "I firmly believe," he said
to a Journal reprtsantative who visited him
at nis laboratory, '"that this transmission is
immediately possible, sud on a large scale."
"And have you faith that the communica
tion may be extended to the stars r"
ONLY SYSTEM THAT IS POSSIBLE.
"I cr 'fer to nhrase mv answer this war
That if it ever is achieved it will be by this
means tne utilization of tne statio electri
city of the earth. There is no other system
oy which it is possible, serious considers.
tiou has been given by scientists to the
scheme of signaling by means of enormous
lights, but what that is not, to my thinking,
practicable. Whyr Uecanse there is no
means of concentrating it upon any given
point.
"A light might be genora'ed which would
seem enormous, and which would in fact be
enormous, tint theoithculty is that in its
journey to Mars that light would be scatter
ed, diffused so that it would fall over the
greatest circumference of the planet. 8o in
receiving any light signal which might be
transmitted to us we wouldr be practcally
helpless. Of course we might employ a
mirror twenty feet square, tor example.
Bat that would be infinitesimal compared
with the whole area over which the light
must fall. Any concentrating agent repre
senting only a millionth or a hundred mil
lionth of the whole area would be useless.

whici can be summoued for such service is
stupendous."
"And do yon actually believe that Buch
communication is possible?"
xes, i do, nnd it is plain that the teller
is not an uncommon one among scientific
men. Aside from popular and imaginative
writing, the serious essays of scientists and
their studies looking toward the perfection
of devices give proof that the belief has be-
some concrete and practical."
ATTEMPT WILL 0ON BE MADE.
"Do yon not believe, gauging the future
steps by past progress in science, that an
ettempt at communication with Mars will
be made within a comparatively short time,
as time is connted in human progress?"
"Yon mean a eerioua attempt?"
"Yes."
"Yd6, 1 do. And that point of the ratio of
human progress is a very interesting one,
too. One upon which I began many years
ago to make mathematical calculatoin. I
was curious to know at what rate soience
moved."
"The projression mnst be geometrical?"
"Vastly more than that," answered the
inventor. "It is more nearly like the multi
plication of germ life. It is almost in
oredibie of carbon. Eooh for example, the
baoteriaof carbon. Take one of millions
produoes millions. It preys upon organio
inattet and destroys it, but, fortunately, in
so doing destroys itself. That is the only
safeguard that living beings- have. If it
were not for that we would be utterly de
stroyed. It is the same way with races. A
race grows in civilization and power until
at last its over-civilization weakens it and
some barbarian people oome in and destroy
it. But the seed of that civilization left be
hind is taken np and developed nntil the
barbarian himself becomes, over -civilized
and in his turn fails. So history goes on
forever, bnt the sum total of all these ac
complishments furnishes u3 the rate of
human advancement, and it is enomons.
"It is npon the result of that calculation
that f base the declaration of my belief that
a serious attempt at transfer of intelligence
to Mars will be made within a short time.
Of course I mean 'short' in the soientifio
sense. Bnt I would not undertake to say
how short or how long that time wilt pro
bably be."
But it is 6H8y task to read, in the enthu
siasm of Tesla npon this appealing question,

achieved end speech journey across infinite
space.
Man that is born ot woman is of
few days and full of microbes. The
moment he hits the earth he starts
for the grave, and the longer he trav
els the faster he goes. His visible re
ward for long days of labor and
nights of walking the floor
with a teething baby is an
epitaph he can't read and a tomb
stone he doesn't want. In the first
of the seven ages of man he's licked,
in the last he is neglected and in all
the others he's a target for the lying
meddlesome mischief-maker a wo
man who won't attend to her own
business. If he does not marry his
first love he'll always wish he had,
and if he does he'll always wish he
hadn't. Yet no man ever follows
freedom's flag for patriotism (and a
pension) with half the enthusiasm
that he will trail the red. the white
and blue that constitutes the banner
of female beauty. He will brave the
lion in bis den, face tne booming
cannon, tread the ocean from be
neath his feet and yet will tremble
like a half-frozen ecrer-sucking dog
when called to account by his wife
for his cussedness. He goes forth in
the mornme to plow corn witn a cross
eyed mule and a roan steer, works
hard all day comes home at night to
nnd his seven half-clothed children
as hungry as bears and no bread in
the house and his wife over to one of
the neighbor's to borr6w a hat to
wear to a church social. Troy, Kan

Food, undigested, is poison. Di
gested, it is life and strength. Mil-
linns of us suffer from indigestion.

it is something else. Even doctors
often mistake the symptoms.

worked, who need strength, who
seem in want of proper food, should
take Shaker Digestive Cordial. It is
astonishing what food will do, when
properly digested.

Of Mercury!
Mr. Henrv Roth, of 1848 South 9th
Street, St. Louis, was given the usual
mercurial treatment for contagious
blood poison. lie was twice pronounc
ed cured, but the disease returned each
time, he was seized with rheumatic
pains, and red lumps and sores cov
ered his body.
"I was in a hor
rible fix " he
says, "and the
more treat
ment I receiv
ed, the worse I
seemed to get.

treatment did
me no cood
whatever. I was stiff and full of
pains, my left arm was useless so
that I was unable to do even the
lightest work. This was my condition
when I began to take S. S. S., and a
few bottles convinced me that I was
being benefitted. I continued the
medicine, and one dozen bottles cured
tne sound and well. My system was
under the effects of mercury, and I
would soon have been a complete
wreck but for S. S. S."
S. S. S., (sruaranfeed purely vegetable)
is the only cure
for real blood dis
eases. The mer
curial treatment
of the doctors al
ways does more
harm than good. Beware of mercury!
