They lived out-doors, ate plenty of fruit, and all of their food We modern people are different. little fruit; and our food is teo ng We can’t have the bowels clogged up and keep well. It means that the food retained there decays. The decay .creates poisons. And those poisons are sucked into the blood through the very ducts intended to suck in the nutriment. We must live, to.an extent, like the primitive man, else we must eat Cascarets do what the right food would do, what plenty of exercise does, The effect is as natural from one as the other. The question is one of convenience. If you choose Cascarets, take them as you take food. Not in large doses rarely, but a tablet at a time. Cascarets are candy tablets. They are sold by all druggists, but never in bulk. Be sure to get the genuine, with CCC on every tablet. The'price 10 Cents per Box.

a é : _, Then weigh yourself again.- The expe- States building the best warships in the world.”’ according to Admiral George A. Converse, head of the Board of Con- atruction to the Senate. Committee on Naval) Affairs, at the beginning of its investigation of recent criticisms. Admiral Converse took up the maga- gine article of Henry Reuterdah!l, in which the writer declared that, American battleships were obsoléte before comple- tion. At the close Senator Perkins said: ‘“] thinks this committee owes an apology to Admirals Converse and Capps for calling them here to,make serious an- awer to charges with no foundation.’ No member dissented. Reuterdah! Ie With Fleet. Admiral Converse described Reuterdah!l as an artist who had been employed by the Navy Department in designing gun- prize trophies, and, in that connection, he had been with battleships in action on several occasions. He now is with the battleship fleej in the Pacific. Admiral Converse declared that not a single accident that has happened on any of the American battleships was due to the open tirret; all had orig- inated at the breach of the gun. The obvious remedy is additional ecreens be- twéen the breech and the ammunition _charges prépared for. reloading. Compres Ships to Prize Fighters. Mr. Hale directéd the Admirals atten- tion to Reuterdah!'s criticism of Amer- joan vessels for having their armor beit submerged; while foreign vessels are constructed with the belt above the water line. “When a etrips for it,” man goes into a fight le said the Admiral. ‘‘He dees not 20 In with overcoat on and Goes not carry unnecessary baggage. Ships act in the same way.” It was charged by Reuterdahl that ~~) navy. Admiral Converse said the White- A. head torpedo was designed for use at 4 890 yards, and that battle would not be % = given now under four thousand or five arte ‘had attempted to get through every Municipal Assembly in the-last nine years. The bill authorizes the City: Treasurer t»“pay Pohlman $3588, rep- resenting fees and salaries which he dis. bursed from his own funds in 1899. When the bul was put to a vote tin thé House of . Delegates, Fay of the twenty-fourth ward interrupted the pro- ceedings to ask whether the House could vote money to a dead man. No one being able to answer the question, the vote continued and the bill passed. It has already been passed by the Council. the

Proper food (containing the food elements that re- build brain cells) is neces- sary for their repair and re- placement. This is life— tear down to build up better. Grape-Nuts food contains the rebuilding elements of wheat and barley and at the same time requires little ef.- fort on the part of the digest- ive organs to appropriate it.

—Auto - Vivisection— Do You Deliberately Torture Yourself Alive by Neglecting Your Stomach? Remedy Free For the Asking. A great outery has arisen during the last few years against scientists who torture dumb animals ative in the in- tereats of science. How many people are there, however. who needlessly tor- ture themselves by causing their stom- achs to overwork. Dyspepsia, indiges- tion, heartburn, sleeplessness, loss of vim and energy are the inevitable re- sults. Are you one of these? Why not give your stomach a rest? Stuart’s OT cs Tablets will re- lieve vour stomach of all its work and do it for you. They are compounded of the very elements and do the work which the stomach ‘performs when in normal health, aseptic pepsin, malt diastase and like ingredients, Dr. Richardson in writing a thesis on treatment of dyspepsia and indigestion, closes his remagks by Saying, “For those suffering from acid dyspepsia, shown by. sour, Watery risings, or for flatulent dyspepsia shown by gas on stomach, causing heart trouble and dif- ficult breathing, ag well a8 for all other forms of stomach trouble, the safest treatment is to take one or two of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. I advise them because they con- tain no harmful drugs, but are com- posed of valuable digestives, which act romptly upon the food eaten, I never te a case of indigestion or even chronic dyspepsia which Stuart’s Tab. lets would not reach.” Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to cure dyspepsia and indigestion can have no effect whatever in actively dj. gesting the food, and to call any ca- thartic medicine a cure for indigestion is a -nisnomer. or Every druggist in the United States and Canada sells Stuarts Dpspe sia Tablets, and they af® mot only the safest and most snecesafel but the most scientific of any treatment for indiges.- tion and stomach trou

The Supreme Court of the United States is far removed from the people. Its members are appointed for life. They are men of gravity and they do not appear on the hustings. The court moves slowly and it never decides more than one Its judgments usually rest upon principles of general application and they question at a time. have to be interpreted. ror these reasons this great court has - al- the vtolent, the dis- contented and the superficial. When it the if the tendency Las been not to amend or repeal the law, but to When it sures of right pursued in the wrong ways invited attack from has ceclared law, unpopular, assail the court. has vetoed mea- way the babit has been to criticise the court rather than the blundered. When it enunciated or confirmed some great principle of legislators who has liberty its solemn pronouncements have gone upheeded or been accepted as a matter of course. If this ters of this day have said it is—a mere reposi- august tribunal were what the agita- tory of privilege and a buttress of wrong—it would not have rendered the judgment that it cid Monday case. Here was a finé opportunity, if the couri on in the Great Northern rebate were in fact what our apostles of discontent have declared it to be, to defeat justice by ghastly technicalities—by what has been called “eon- structive jurisprudence.” The point involved was the same as that which appearcd in the Standard Oil case before Judge Landis. In the recently enaeted Hepburn rate law (1906) is a clause repealing the first section of the Elkins law (1903) providing for the pun- ishment of railroad rebating by fines. It was urged in the Standard Oil case and in the Great Northern case that this repeal grant- ed immunity to all who had committed offenses under the act that had been rescinded. The Su- preme Court, sustaining the view taken by Judge Landis as to Standard Oil, ruled otherwise. It that the Elkins law are still punishable under that law maintains offenses committed under and that violations of the later act are to be dealt with under that act. This judgment is vital as to most of the pro- ceedings now in progress in many courts against the outrageous injustices which the railroads of the country have been in the habit of inflicting If sympathy upon shippers. the court had been in any manner in with corporate wrong-do- irg or with predatory wealth, a fine opportunity was thus presented to wipe the slate clean so far as anything taking place before the adoption of the Hepburn act was concerned; and if the tend- encies of that body had been such as they are said to be by our agitators, there can be no doubt that it wottld have met the occasion glad- lv. Its ruling leaves all of these prosecutions in tull force and so hastens the day when the con- dign purishment of past offenses will safeguard the people against their repetition in future. There are people who believe that the repeal- ing section of the Hepburn act was deliberately designed, in the expectation of aid by a friendly court, to preclude the punishment of offenses That men who connived at the villainy misjudged the artedating that law. being the case, the federal judiciary as flagrantly as those who, for other reasons, attempt to belittle it in tbe estima- tion of the people. If all the agencies of Federal power were found as uNvaryingly on the side of law, justice and reason as the Supreme Court of the United States Las proved itself to be, this would be a much better governed Republic than it is. ——-99> THROWING BOUQUETS AT POKER. A poker-playing Missouri preacher who was caught at it made the defense to his congrega- tion that “there is no vice which so consumes a man as gambling.”’ Perhaps when he is in a less penitential mood he will modify this assertion to some extent. Be- sctting sins depend upon the man. Vanity, all is vanity, says Ecclesiastes, but most men are im- mune against some vanities. For example, there are vessels of wrath on all sides whose particular vanity is “taps” and who could not be hired or eoaxed to play poker. The gambling instinct or weakness or whatever it may be is not often found in a minister of the sespel. For that and other reasons there will be a better prospect of reformation in this case if the erring brother will dwell with greater severity upon the offender and throw fewer bouquets at the poker table.

0-4 ams FIVE CENTS’ WORTH OF SCHMIERCASE. One does not have to go fathoms deep into the Philosophy of life to see what was the original status of a late decedent and her former servant girl to whom she willed 5 cents worth of schmier- case by way of a posthumous insult, ins ead of willing her a generous sum of money, as she seems to have promised. . It appears on the surface that she had once withheld a considerable sum of wages from the servant, which the latter eventually sued for and recovered. We may deduce from these few facts that it was the decedent's original and generous purpose to have the girl work without wages in consideration of the promised legacy, the net re- sult of which we have observed. The whole makes e chapter of a not very pretty human nature. It may be observed in general that the generos- ity made up of future promises which is so often offered as a substitute for present justice rarely pans out better than 5 cents worth of schmiercase: and the fact is worth heeding by everybody, in- cluding voters as well as: servant girls. = = .

THOMPSON. The Chouteau Avenue Car, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There are three cars going @a8t over Twenty-first street. If a Chouteau car were put on persons trans- ferring south could make good connections on at least eight lines. I came that way Sunday evening and at least nine persons got off at Twenty-first street and walked to their transferripge point. In doing this they saved time at extra expense and very likely made their car and by riding over Twenty-first might .have ,missed it. It is not very pleasant to walk eight or ten blocks in the cold, but [I admit it is better than waiting one hour at a corner. a <. OS Organization of Workers. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The working man in_the past has mouth agape while someone else worked for his ben- efit. At the present time he is willing to share in the benefits acquired at someone else's expense. gut he wouldn't lose an hour of sleep or sacrifice a glass of help in his own betterment. You workers who are iuterested in the future welfare of your children, teach them the value of concentrated ef- fort. Demonstrate its value by organizing yourselves and whatever your organization may be, political, labor or social, keep the betterment of your condition as the paramount issue, not as individuals but as an organization. And not until the brotherhood of man is firmly established will the common worker have the temerity to demand his birthright. CHARLES CLAY CLARK, Kast.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Drunkenness. a toxic disease, is the cause which prompts the ire of th: churches; if drunkenness, one of the toxic disea can be obviated by legislativ: action. why not. legislate against the of al toxic disease? Why not prohibit the art of painting houses because occasionally painters suffer with lea: colic? Why not prohibit the use of rve flour because thousands of people have died through the ergot in fection of rye? Why not prohibit the use of maize or indian corn beciuse hundreds of thousands of people in Southern Murope have died after guffering agontes from the known pellagra? Why not discontinue the use of milk and the flesh of cat tle, as articles of food, of tuberculosis and other it's of the human family have been traced to it? Why not discontinue the use of river water because epidemics of typhoid re- sulted from its use? So much for the pathological argument against prohibition.

Until we progress to the point where we can send to the Senate something more. than the biggest political, rogue in the State, the gods are choosing for us the lesser of two evils. ($LAUCON: Which is to say ? SOCRATES: That millionaires as an element are vastly to be preferred to the element from which a crude State would elect its Senators? POLEMARCHUS: But vou do not defend the millionaires in the Senate except as a matter of expediency ? SOCRATES: Not the millionaire who buys his seat. It is only as an ex pedient that | defend him.

CARDINALS MAY GET NEW CATCHER — —_>

Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—With the Pul- liam-Herrmann controversy sidetracked, the two big leagues will make speedy work of their sessions, which begin to- day. There will be no changes in the rules, according to Ban Johnson, but it is probable a ball will be adopted that has no gloss on it. The trades will be few, but the St. Louis Nationals are likely to get a catcher. They need one, as Noonan has been released to St. Paul. Many players are likely to go back to minors, Columbus, Newark, Indiana- polis and other smaller clubs having rep- resentatives on the spot ready to do business. Newark will not be for the Highlanders, George Stallings having “heefed”’ vociferously when asked to take some of Griffith’s dead ones. All the managers are mad because the a farm Meetings are held so late, claiming they are due to start South with their teams. Resolutions will be adopted making the ‘time of the meetings in future not later than the middle of February. Comiskey, Mack and Griffith, mem- bers of the American League Rules Committee, will not be here and Ban Johnson will have to appoint a new committee.

En Poval Crichton Brown, of Congress of the [Institute of Public Health in London gave a lecture on old age. He states that if every person should live right and take the proper care, to live one hundred vears would be a matter o! course. There is no the age of fifty, sixty, or.even seventy. In every person there is a constant change taking place in the system. and just ao long as the supply equals or exceeds the waste, just so long will old age be warded off, When one finds their energies flag ging, the organs acting slowly and less effectually, the blood slaggish. and nh fact “feels old.” then there is nothing known to mé@dicine that will restere elasticity to the step, brightness to the eves, vigor to brain and muscle, and strength to every organ in the body so surely as our real cod liver and iron preparation, Vinol. Vinol contains in a concentrated form all of the medicinal body-building elements of cod liver oi! actually taken from fresh cods’ livers, the usele*s oil eliminated and tonic iron added. x We ask every aged person in 5t.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISO, Feb. That Attell will have the toughest propo- sition of his career to go up against when he fights Eddie Kelly next Fri- day is the general opinion of those who have watched the progress of the train- ing of the two fighters. Kelly is con- sidered the hardest hitter of any boy of his weight by Johnny Frayne, who has been sparring with the newsboy ever since he took up training here. l'rayne also was trainer for Frank Neil and says while Neil was consid- ered a wonder for the strength of his punch in his palmy days, he didn't have near the amount of steam Kelly puts behind a punch. Where Neji] swung, he says, Kelly sends one straight from the shoulder. “If Kelly gets through Attell’s guard a few times the Hebrew certainly will know he is hit,’ he declared. M. A.C.
