The Woman’s Natioual Federa tion Club is a body that has 763 organizations, represented in 39 dif ferent states in the Union. The reports indicate that they came 50,000 strop g in their celebra ted gathering in Los Angeles. We do not wish to give any of fense by what we say, but simply call attention to some things that obtain in bur social life which we regard as npt being wholesome to the family, which is a necessity to our civilization. The purpose of this organization, as reported in the daily papers, is to establish libraries and traveling li braries, industrial Bohools, and ob tain for them, where possible, legis lative appr.opr ationB, supply pic tures for public schools, positions for women on the school boards, and as teachers on hospital boards, and as nurses; also positions having charge of children in police stations, poorhouses, jails, etc, Ab though ,thiB work could not be the better looked after by men. Its purpose, also, is to stimulate the men in lines not only of philan thropy, but also in education and in general literary matters, as is por trayed in the following statement taken from ihe report of their pro ceedings, to-wit: "It has long been felt among club women that, taken iu the great mass, the business men, husbands of the club women, are not keeping pace with their wives iu altruistic and literary matters.” Poor men! If they have been be hind their wives in literary matters hitherto, how in the name of com mon sense do they expeot the hus- baud to keep paoe with his wife in literary matters henceforth, when by conditions that are bound to obtain under the proposed regime, he will have to remain at home and take oare of the crying children, dose them to slumber on grandmother’s soothing syrup, while his wife is off attending a woman’s club? For the husband to work all day, and returning home at night, have to take up such duties would be no speoial affliotion upon the true man who loves his wife and has no hap piness except his good wife is the larger participant with him; but the affliction falls on the home like a pall of dense night when a woman con cludes she can wield a wider influ ence for good to the race by ventur ing into public life,or contribute her foroe in the aggregate, as in a wo man’s club. Indulging such thoughts unfits her for wife or mother, and when she assumes such duties she is unworthy of either, and the greatest blessing God could sand to her day and generation, with reference to her, would be to smite her and her home with the awful plague of bar renness. Wonderfully true and fearful is the voice of nature, howe\er, about this very thing in declaring with fearful judgments that such a home where these things obtain either be comes unfruitful or void of the sweet, motherly influence, drifts in to the wildest oonfunsion, anarchy and ruin, Wliooping Cough. A woman who has had experi ence with this disease, tells how to prevent any dangerous oonse- quenoes from it. She says: Our three children took whooping cough last summer, our baby boy Wug only three months old, and -owing to our giving them Cliam- 'b'erlain’s Oough Remedy, they ilOst none of their plumpness and -came out in much better health than other children whose parents did not use this remedy. Our old est little girl would call lustily for oough syrup between whoops— Jessies Pinkey Hall, Springville, Ala. ’This Remedy is for sale by all dealers in Perry, Warren & Lowe, Byron. ' V ; • Andrew Carnegie refers; to himself as a “reformed” business man. In London the other day he said: "I am not in the navigation syndicate, having retired from business and re formed.” What does Mr. Carnegie mean by "reformed?” There are, by the way, some persons who are-of the opinion that while he was in business he stood . sadly in need of reformation.

An Irresistible Partnership, There is a partnership of three in the industrial world when an enter prise is planned. The first of these, not in importance, but in time, is Capital Without it nothing costly can be built. From it comes the first breath of life into matter previ ously inert. s The structure reared, equipped and ready to begin in any line of in dustrial activity, the second partner comes into operation. That is Bus- ness Ability. Capital has done its part. It has provided all the instru mentalities of production; but unless it can command the services of able men to manage the business, all that Capital has done crumbles into ruin. Then coraeB the third partner, last in order of time, but not least, La bor. If it fails to perform its part, nothing can be accomplished. Capi tal and Business Ability, without it brought into play, are dead. The wheels cannot revolve unless the hand of Labor starts them. Now, volumes can be written as to which one of the partners is first, second or third in importance and the subject will remain just as it was before. Political economists, speculative philosophers and preach ers have been giving their views on the subject for hundreds of years, but the answer has not yet been found, nor can it ever be, because each of the three is all-important, and every one is equally essential to the other two. There is no first, Becond or last. There is no preced ence? They are equal members of the great triple alliance which moves the industrial world. As a matter of history, Labor existed before Capital or Business Ability, for when "Adam digged aud Eve span” Adam had no capital, and if one may judge from the Boquel neither of the two was inordinately blessed with business ability, but this waB before the reign of industrialism be gan and huge investmen ts'of capital were necessary. The three are equal partners of a grand whole. Combined, they wi-rk wonders; separate, neither ip > f much aocount. Thus far, notv nli standing the differences that from time to time have unfortunately rent them apart, they have made the closing century the most benefi cent of all that have preceded it. Humanity, the world over, is better than it has ever been, materially and morally, and I have the faith that it is destined to reach higher and loft ier places than even the most san guine have imagined. Capital, Business Ability and La bor must be utilized. He is an ene my to all three who seeks to sow seeds of disunion among them.— From Andrew Carnegie’s "The Em pire of Business.” Like a Drowning Man. “Five years ago a disease the doctors called dyspepsia took such hold of me that I could scarcely go,” writes Geo. S, Marsh, well- known attorney of Nocona, Tex. “I took quantities of pepsin and other medicines but nothing help ed me. As a drowning man grabs at a straw I grabbed at Kodol. I felt an improvement at once and after a few bottles am sound and well.” Kodol is the only prepa ration which exactly reproduces the natural digestive juices and consequently is the only one which digests any good food and cures any. form of stomaoh trouble.

Oharles Battell Loomis, the au thor and lecturer, in a recent article in the Saturday Evening Post, tells a little bit of a narrative with a large moral to it. It is about a young man who once wrote a story. It was accepted by and published in a magazine, and made quite a hit. But the young man was not quite sure it was a good story. He want ed somebody who was competent to speak to tell him it was meritorious; to set his fears at rest; to enco..rage him to go on and write more. But not a soul of all his readers said one word to him about the matter. He became discouraged and went into a business for which he was totally unfitted, and his life was a failure. That, in substance, is the story. The moral of it is: “Any flattery is far too much flattery, but sincere and discriminating praise is what makes tie wheels go ’round. Don’t with hold it.” This moral is applicable in every line of human endeavor. Discrim inating praise is one of the most powerful Btimulants to higher en* deavors and loftier purposes. Un fortunately a great many who are in a position to bestow it are blind to that fact. They go rather upon the principle that any criticism must be necessarily adverse and severe, and that the best way to improve a struggler is to find as much fault as possibh, and "rub it in” as hard as possible every time a fault is found. Good points, creditable achieve ments, are never mentioned; they are regarded as a matter of course; but let an error occur, and there is the mischief to pay at once. Many a poor working boy and girl has sobbed his or her heart out on the pillow at night because the employ er had not only neglected to com mend some meritorious deed of the day, b.it had actually been brutish because of some picayunish over sight or shortcoming not actually worth a moment’s thought. Noth ing can be more discouraging to o oisniuntious, loyal, painstaking en- d-avor on the part of an employe Uutu the total lack of appreciation a.ul sympathy on the part of the employer. And the same is true of the scholar and his teacher; of the author and the painter and their publio. Sincere and discriminating praise, a few words of encouragement well timed, may not “make the wheels go ’round,” bat it will unquestiona bly make them run much smoother and do more and better work. The Chicago Chronicle (Don-.) says: "There is at least one very cheering piece of news from the na tional capital. It is that there is no longer a ghost of a chance for the Hanna-Payne subsidy bill, at least during the present session of con gress, and probably not at any time. It is the steamship merger that has done it. Congressmen are satisfied that it will not do to vote money to that huge combine, at< least so long as elections are impending. We are indebted to this great combine of Laborer Morgan, therefore, for one good result.” Won’t Follow Advice After Pay ing For It. In a recent article a prominent physician says, “It' is next to im possible for the physician to get his patients to carry out any pre scribed course of hygiene or diet to the smallest extent; he has but one resort left, namely, the drug treatment.” When medicines are used for chronic constipation, the most mild and gentle obtainable, such as Chamberlain’s Stomach & Liver Tablets, should be employ ed. Their use is not followed by constipation, as they leave the bowels in a natural aud healthy condition. For sale by all dealers in Perry,'Warren & Lowe, Byron. A H0M&-UKE H0JF&1.
