Doctors try Scott’s Emul
sion of Cod Liver Oil, when
they think it is caused by im
perfect digestion of food.
You can do the same.
It may or may not be caused
by the failure of stomach and
bowels to do their work. If
It is, you will cure it; if not,
you will do no harm.
The way, to cure a disease
is to stop its cause, and help
the body get back to its habit
of health.
When Scott’s Emulsion of
Cod Liver Oil does that, it
cures; when it don’t, it don’t
cure. It never does harm.

ROUNDLAP PREMIUM $2 44 NET
Thata What Farmers Made by Us-
Ing the Starkvllte Round
lap Press.
The Southern Farm Gazette, of
Starkville, Miss., published the
following about a test made to
show the relative value of roundlap
and square bales: ‘‘The first day
the roundlap plant was operated
was Friday Oct. 12. The great
majority of the cotton put on the
roundlap bale press that day was
sold for 10.35 cents. Some of these
samples taken at random were car
ried to W. W. Scales, one of the
leading cotton buyers of this sec
tion, who was asked what its value
was in the square form. He said
9.50 would be the best our market
could pay. The same samples
were taken to Stern & Goodman,
also large cotton buyers, and they,
believing it was square cotton,
made 9.50 as their best offer. This
showed a difference of 85 points, or
about $4.25 a bale. The next day
cotton was lower and the round
bale cotton brought 10.15 on an
average, while the same grades of
square cotton brought 9.375 or
points difference. We also weigh
ed the wrapping on the two kinds
!of bales and found 14 pounds dif
ference in favor of square bale.
So, if a certain amount of cotton
made into a round bale weighs 500
pounds the same amount in a
square bale would weigh 514
pounds. The 500 pounds round
cotton at the average price of the
two days, 10.25 cents, would bring
$51.25. Deduct ginning $1.50,
rental of press $1.09, and wrapping
40 cents, and we have a net price
of $48.35. The 514 pounds square
cotton at its average, 0.4375 cents
would bring $48.51. Deduct gin
ning $1.50, price of bagging and
ties SI.OO and weighing 10 cents,
and we have net $45.91 for the
square cotton. This gives a dif
ference of $2.44 net in favor of the
roundlap bale.”

. MR- BRYAN INJdfICAGO.
Declare* He Will Remalntn Politics
as Lon as He Lives.
Chicago, Nov. 24. —Mr. Wm. J.
Bryan arrivtd in Chicago this
morning from Lincoln. He drove
to the Auditorium annex, where
he did not register, but was at once
showm to the room occupied by
Chas. A. Towne, of Minnesota.
There he remained in consultation
with Mr. Towne and former Sena
tor Fred T. Dubose, of Idaho, un
til tonight, when he returned to
Lincoln.
Mr. Bryan refused to say what
was discussed during the meeting,
but did not deny that the future
policy of the democratic party was
one of the topics discussed.
‘T expect to remain in politics
as long as I live,” said Mr. Bryan.
“I shall continue to advocate aud
work with both tongue and pen
for the principles for which I have
fought so long. I shall continue to
reside in Lincoln, Nebraska.”
To the question of what he
thought of the proposed reorgani
zation of the democratic party, he
said:
“I have nothing to say on that
subject at this time. When the
opportune time comes for me to
express myself I shall be heard. I
shall write my view's out carefully
in order that my position may not
be misunderstood. I have neither
the inclination nor time to do so
now'.
“I have received innumerable of
fers tor my services, comprising
opportunities in nearly all walks
of life, but I am not looking for a
position—not now r ,” and he joined
in with Mr. Towne in a hearty
laugh. “I am in the best of health
and expect to be busy for some
time to come. I have not seen
any of the local politicians. I
came here to con.->ult with Mr.
j Towne and one or two other men
;in regard to matters w'hich I do
not care to talk about.”
Mr. Bryan appealed in the best
of spiiits and had none of the
, marks of a man crushed politically,
j As compared to his appearance 011
| the evening of the election, when
he plainly bore the signs of the
strain under which he was label*
ing, he looked like anew man.
HARSH MEASURES.
War In Phillippines to Ba Vigorous-
Iv Prosecuted.
New York, Nov. 19. —Forbear-
ance has ceased to be a military
virtue in the Phillippines, accord
ing to news that comes from the
war department. So says a Wash
ington correspondent in a dispatch
to the Herald.
Lord Kitchener’s plans of opera
tions in South Africa, harsh though
it appears to be appeals to the offi
cials of the war department, and
during the coming campaign in the
Phillippines no mercy is to be ex
tended to those in active rebellion,
or to give aid and comfort to the |
insurgents.
The administration, according to
a high official, has become weary
of the long drawn out war. It has
been conciliatory in dealing with
the insurgents, and the efforts to
accomplish peace by this means
have met with contempt.
It is now proposed to give them
a taste of real war, and, though the
innocent may suffer, it is only by
this means, it is believed, that the
guilty can be reached.
