Is Life
Worth Living?
That depends upon the
Liver. If tho Liver is
inactive tho wholo nys
ttm is out of order tho
. "breath is had, digestion
poor, head dull or aching,
energy and hopefulness
gone, the spirit is de
pressed, a heavy weight
exists after eating, with'
general despondency and
the Hues. The Liver in
the 'housekeeper of the
health; and a harmless,
simple remedy that acta
like Nature, does not
coustipato afterwards or
require constant taking,
does not interfere with
Imsiness or pleasure dur
ing its use, makes Sim
mons Liver Regulator a
medical perfection.

BOM SOME MORE EDITORIALS IN THE
1'HOdllKSSIVE FARMER.
May 2(3,1891: -We think tho Alii-
UK-email who cannot stand tho full, freo
and temperate diseusnion of . all public
nations is made of mighty poor tiuibir
and is not fitted to bo useful in such
uiovuuicmh as ours. This alliance move
ment lias been and is a groat educational
movement precisely because it has pro
yoked aud taken part in the discussion of
all sorts of public questions.
June 10, 18111: "Is it wio for the
Vic-nds of reform in our national offices
to ignore the refund of the tariff and put
all their strength into the agitation in
favor of the sub treasury bill and in favor
of the free coinage of silver. Wc answer
this question without one moment of
hesitation with an emphatic negative. It
is constantly assumed by the reform press
that the tariff is not a financial measure
at all. This assumption is violent and
unfair. It is iadeed the most vital fi
nancial question that is now before the
people or that come before the people.
Any other measures nf financial reform
must bo only partial and unsatisfactory
without such a modification of our tariff
system as will amount to the entire re
generation of our customs regulation.
The mere statement of this truth must
carry conviction to any mind that is cap
able of reasoning upon these questions at
all."
Dec-ember 1, 1891: "President Polk's
address (at Indianapolis) was squarely
anil boldly against allowing tho Alliance
to bo subordinated to the purposes of any
party and that address was enthusiastic
ally eudorsed by true Alliaucemcu."
HOME HAS THE 1ST CLAIM.
The first thought of a wife or a moth
er should be her home; all things,
matter how important is secondary to
that. No matter how rampant may be
come certain public evils, let her 6ee to it
that she keeps the evil out of her home
and she performs her greatest duty to her
God, her family and mankind. When a
woman tries to remedy an evil by striding
the lecture platform, warning others, when
that very evil is invading her home by
her absence, she is mistaking her mission
in life, and she cannot realize it too soon.
The good that a woman can do toward
the great world at large is as nothing
compared to her possibilities iu her home
if she be wife or mother.
And the first duty of man, as well as
of woman, is to home; to his wife and his
children. As a husband, a father, an
example to his his sons and daughters,
their counselor and friend, he should be
the light and joy of his household, their
strength for duty, their encouragement
to excellence, their comfort and help in
all that prepares for usefulness and makes
home attractive to all. When husband
and wife, father and mother, make home
what it should be, the false temptations
nf tho world will lose their power, and
children will grow up to be the joy of
parents and a blessing to themselves and
to the woild.
SUFFICIENT.
An Irishman and a negro agreed to
settle the question of who was the better
man. They also agreed that as soon as
one was i-atisfk'd he should indicate the
fact to tho other by simply saying: "Suf
ficient." After poundiug each other
for suiue time the Irishman sang out:
"sufficient," when, much to his disgust
the nrirro exclaimed:- "Sho I ve been
trtin' to think of dat word for twenty
miuutes."
It Won't Do. You may bridle tb
arjpetite but you cannot bribe the liver to
do its work well. You must be honest
with it, help it along a little now and
then with a doso of Simmons Liver Keg

sometimes and needs some stimulation
to keep off those attacks of Indigestion
and Biliousness. A good active liver,
promotes digestion and prevents Malaria
TOO MANY GIRLS.
81'ARKIN GOING ON ALL OVER THE
FLACE.
Them girls'll bo tho death of mc,"
.rhud Mr. Plug, the other day as he came
up the street.
"Why, I thought they were nice girls,"
said a sympathetic friend.
! So they are nice enough, but there's
too many of them, and they're too at
tractive," said the disconsolate patriarch.
Them three daughters of mino were
enough in-all conscience, but now my
niece is up here from Boston, and it
seems as if old scratch had got into them.
don't object to young folks havin' beaux
and all that, but when it comes to havin'
sparkio' going on all over the place its
too bad," said Mr. Plug. "Last night
Sue had a fellow courtin her at the gate;
and Julia had her chap in the parlor; and
when I got ready to go to bed, bless me,
if Andromache, (that's my niece from
Boston) didn't have young S by
spooning her on the stairs. She says
that's Newport style. Sich nonsense!
couldn't get up stairs to go to bed
without climbing over them, so I thought
'd go out to the barn and sleep on the
ay; but durn my pictur, if I didn't
stuble over Milly and some young spooner
sitting in tho barn door. This thing's
got to stop before cold weather, for I
can't afford wood and kerrysene for any
such nonsense, when its too cold for
sparkiu' out o' doors."

Tho Republican campaign text book
for 1892, just published, ou page 198
defends the force bill at consid
erable length ns an exemplary se
ries of statues, comparable with the ten
commandments. The election bill is
described as a bill designed simply to . se
cure an immaculate free ballot. Nothing
is said of tho partisan machinery by
which it is to work out majorities for
Republican candidates every time. On
page 197 it is indicated that it is "demo
crat frauds" it is aimed at, not Republi
can frauds. Democratic frauds "in many
Southern States" and in New York are
specially mentioned as the ones requiring
to be reached. The reader searches in
vain for mention of the Republican frauds
by which Mr. Tilden was deprived of the
Presidency, There is not a word about
the theft of Montana, of New Hamp
shire, and of the governorship of Connec
ticut. The buying of Indiana in 1880
and of New York and Indiana in 188
is ignored. Tho guilty party accuses
the defrauded party of all the wickedness
To cap the climax the campaign text
book says the force bill is "no more a
force bill than are tho Ten Command
ments."

to support the Church. Bhaiue on us.
This Cure has not yet failed where the
party was iu earnest about tjuittiiig and
followed directions. Thousands have been
cnieil of chewing, smoking and dipping.
