Stomach Trouble?
Health' is Most Important to You.
Columbus, Ga. "Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is certainly
a grand medicine for stomach trouble.
I have suffered greatly all my life
from a disordered stomach. My food
eeemed to set so heavy, no matter what
I ate. I have taken many of the medi
cines advertised for this trouble, but
none of them has ever come up to
Golden Medical Discovery for giving
frompfc and lasting relief. Whenever
have a sluggish liver, with sick
headaches and constipation, I have
found Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets a
very efficient remedy. They do not
gripe or cause any other distressing
condition such as a great many pills
do." Mrs. Laura Kimbrough, 3503
JSrlene Avenue.

Doctor Pierce' s at your nearest drug

Whoever Wins, the Public Loses.
The issues of the coal strike, both
in the anthracite and the bituminous
districts, are so farfrom clear that
it will be hard to decide, even when
it is all over, whether anybody won
or not, or whether there was any
thing to win. '
The bituminous miners have voted
to strike for a renewal of the existing
wage scale; they have also agreed
to meet the operators to discuss the
matter. The operators, on the other
hand, have refused to meet represent
atives of the miners. They insist oil
a strike. No doubt the men need all
the wages they are receiving, yet the
soft-coal industry is so much over
manned, overcapitalized and overde
veloped that there are not wages and
profits enough to go around.
Anthracite production is not over
manned or mismanaged. It is one of
the most profitable industries in the
country and could almost certainly
afford to pay a wage increase. But
the anthracite miners are fairly well
paid already. Though they are strik
ing technically for more money, what
they really wanted was a vacation,
and the operators were quite willing
to grant it in the hope of propping
their summer market.
If the bituminous operators win,
then, it will mean that the union is
broken and the miners are to work
for less than a living wage. If the
anthracite operators win, it will
mean only that the vacation is over.
If the bituminous miners win, it
will mean that many union mines
will have to go out of business be
cause of the impossibility of com
peting with the non-union fields a
healthy deflation but accompanied by
a lack of jobs. If the anthracite
miners win, it will mean a raise in
wages which is probably unneces
sary. And in any case tne public
will lose. New York World.

Hickman Relieved.
Hickman, Ky., March 28. The
Mississippi River has fallen three
inches, and will continue falling.
With the river falling every one
here now feels that the worst is oyer,
but every precaution will continue to
be taken until the river has fallen
below danger line on levees. The
C. M. & G. Railroad, .operating be
tween Hickman and Dyersburg, is
now running one train a day into and
out of Hickman, instead of four
trains, due to their tracks being
flooded at Miston, Tenn., where the
water has backed up through the
Obion River, from the Mississippi,
and flooded that section. This one
train is a mixed train of passengers
and freight.
A professor in the University of
Wisconsin regards Thomas A. Edi

very much whether at your age, and
what seems to be your present state
of mind, it would be worthy of one's
while to attempt to teach you any
thing." Still , if a smart college
professor had gotten hold of Edison
when he was young, he probably
could have made something out of
him. Memphis News-Scimitar.
