Habit Worse Than
the Disease. >
Dr. Miles* Nervine Cured
Me.
When the nervous system has been shat
tered by the use of deadly drugs there is
nothing to equal Dr. Miles’ Nervine in restor
ing it to health and normal activity.
“I feel so grateful for what Dr. Miles’ Re
storative Nervine has done for me that 1
must tell it for that part df humanity t|ial
suffers as I have. During the three years
1 suffered from nervous prostration 1 found
no relief except when doctois gave morphine.
To get rid of suffering' T took morphine my-
, self as it was the only thing that would give
ease, and now you, who point with scorn at
morphine using, how could you, when in
such agony, knowing it nbout the only thing
that would give relief, resist it? I knew it
was a terrible habit and l knew of its deadly
grasp, but I never fully realized its signifi
cance until 1 had used it a number of months.
Oh, the misery of being uddicted to such a
habit. I resolved then and there to quit it
and resolved I would never be a slave to any
such'deinon, ■ About this time I happened to
notice Dr, Miles’ Restorative Nervine adver
tised and ordered a bottle. After using five
bottles I can truthfully say I am cured of
using morphine, Now. however much per
sons may doubt it, God is my witness I am
cured. This testimonial is unsolicited but I
feel it my duty to give it for the benefit of the
suffering."—Mattik Phillips, Prescott, Ark.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence,
The republican leaders are all at
sea and absolutely unable to agree
on wbat legislation is necessary by
the- coming congress. President
Roosevelt demands that the Cuban
reciprocity treaty must first be at
tended to, and says he will call an
extra session of congress for that
purpose. The republican leaders in
the sepate are all opposed to recip
rocity legislation, and Senators Al
drich, Platt, Depew, Hanna, Quay
and Spooner have all advised him
not to call an extra session this fall,
and they are all opposed to his poli
cy. There is a like division of sen
timent on the necessity for financial
legislation, and even those who de
sire a change in the law are hope
lessly divided on tbe scope of the
alterations that Bhould be made.
On the trust question the president
nas declared for publicity, but he is
powerful slow iu putting it into op
eration, and a majority of the re
publican leaders are for letting well
enough alone, so anti-trust legisla
tion will be at a standstill. There
are a respeotable minority of the
party in power who believe in some
sort of tariff changes, and who are
being pressed by their constituents
to that end, but thoy will not meet
with any success, unless they work
in harmony with the democrats,
which they will not do, and the
most of them are talking only to
fool the voters of the country, The
republican politicians are abo at
loggerheads over the Panama canal
question, Many of the leaders are
controlled by the transcontinental
railroads of the country, and really
do not want any canal, while others
favor the Nicaragua route, and in
consequence there has been nothing
done, and won’t be during,the next
session.
One thing they always unite up
on, and that is "the old flag and
an appropriation,” official graft and
plenty of loot for themselves and
their political strikers.
Tho republican leaders pretend to
be unanimous for the nomination of
Roosevelt, yet more than half of
them are opposed to him. The co
hesive power of public plunder holds
them together, but long-headed men
like Root and Quay know that the
end is near aud are leaving the rat-
infested ship. There iB an universal
unrest, and even the chief of the
prophets, if in the flesh, could not
psedict what the present republican
president or the coming republican
congress will do. The democratic
troubles are infinitesimal compared
to the republican factional djsagree-
ments.
. Every democrat is united upon
opposition to trusts, upon tariff re
form, upon equal taxation and Upon
equal rights to all and special privi
leges to none, aud that is the win
ning platform.

The nutmeg supply of England
and her colonies is almost entirely in
the hands of Dutchmen. The bulk
comes from the Island of Banda,

crop from the Dutch West Indies.
The fruiting powers of the trees
are remarkable. They start fruiting
when about twelve years old, and
yield regularly for sixty or eighty

THE NATIONAL, 334 Dearborn St., Chicago.
Proved Its Accuracy.
"It’s an heirloom,” he said, as he
took out of his pocket a watch as
big as an ordinary alarm clock and j
shook it to hear the wprks rattle,
"My great-grandfather carried it.”
"^ith what—a truck?” asked his
friend, according to the Chicago
Rost,
“Oh, that’s all right,” responded
the man with the watch. "Have all
the fun you want, but you couldn’t
duplicate it to-day for $200.”
"I suppose not. How much do
you think the freight charges on it
would be from here to New York?”
"I know it’s big, but I tell you
it’s priceless. It’s old fashioned,
but it’s all there.”
"Yes, with some additions and
bay windows. But, really, is it re
liable?”
“I can tell the time to a half-min
ute by it and swear to it. I’ll bet I
can come closer to the exact time
than you now.”
•Tll'vgo you.” He pulled out a
handsome little stemwinder, glanced
at it, and said: "It’s 12:35. Now
get a crowbar and open your old
safety depasit vault and see what
time you make it.”
The other pried the old watch
open with the back of a knife blade,
studied a moment and then said:
"Let me see. This is Saturday,
and I set , it last Thursday evening
at 6. That is a trifle over forty-two
and a half hours ago. At half a
raiuute an hour the total loss would
be twenty-one and a quarter min
utes. I now make it 12:14^, and
I’m willing to leave it to any chro
nometer iu town* Talk about your
reliable watches?! Why, you can bet
on this old heirloom and win every
time. It’s lost half a minute an hour
for sixty-three years. All you’ve got
to do is to remember when you set
it and you can figure the time down
almost to quarter seconds.”

When a Bued sprouts, the first
thing it docs is to put forth a root
for the purpose of absorbing water
and other mineral matter necessary
for the further development of the
plant. ThiB root pushes itself into
the soil by cell multiplication at its
tip, and gets thicker by new layers
all around it. We thus see that the
root extends itself into the soil by
almost irresistible force, and is able
to penetrate hard substauces that it
never could penetrate if it grew
from behind and pushed itself for
ward as the nails of our fingers do.
This mode of growth also makes the
soil tightly packed around the en
tire root surface, even to the minut
est fibres, and thus enables them
readily to absorb such nourishment
as the soil may contain for the plant.
The power to absorb is greatest in
the small root fibres, or spongioles,
as they are oalled, and gradually di
minishes as the roots grow older and
thicker. Now, when we remove a
plant from the soil we break off
thousands of these spongioles, no
matter how much care we take, or
how much we believe in the whole
root theory; and thus the power of
the plant to absorb is greatly dimin
ished. When we place it in the soil
again, we are unable. to make the
soil come into suoh close contact
with the roots as it was when the
roots had extended themselves into
the soil by their grov/th; but this
may be done to a certain extent by
having the soil well pulverized and
then pouring wateraround the plant
immediately after it has been set in
the pulverized soil. This will cause
the soil to settle around the roots,
though the roots will not press
against it until they resume their
growth.—Prof. H. W. Specking.
What is Life?
In the last analysis nobody
knows, but we do know that it is
under strict law. • Abuse that law
even slightly, paiii results. Irreg
ular living means derangement of
the organs, resulting in constipa
tion, headache or liver trouble.

re-adjust this. They are gentle,
yet thorough. Only 25c at Holtz-
claw’s Drugstore.
The mint at Philadelphia has coin

them.
