The Chicago Record-Herald is a con­ spicuous exampl^ of the success with which the public rewards fearless non- partisanship in the columns of a great metropolitan dailjl paper. It is an in­ dependent newspaper in which men and measures are iry^asiably viewed wholly from the standpoint of the public good and not from that of the interests of any particular political party. It is the very reverse of neutral--fearless and outspoken on all the great questions of the day, but presenting its editorial opinion upon independent judgement and entirely regardless of political affilia­ tions. Partisanship is barred as strictly from the news columns a i from the edi­ torial page. All political news is given without partisan coloring, thus enabl­ ing the reader to form correct conclu­ sions for himself. In the ordinary par­ tisan newspaper political news is ordi­ narily colored to such an extent as to make it difficult if not impossible for the reader to secure a sound basis for intellectual judgement. Saw Death Near. '.'It often made my heart ache, "writes L. C. Overstreet, of Elgin, Tenn., "to hear my wife cough until it seemed her weak and sore lungs would collapse. Good doctors said she was so far gone with Consumption that no medicine or earthly help could save her,but a friend recommended Dr. King's New Discov­ ery and persistant use of this excellent medicine saved her life." It's absolute­ ly guaranteed for Coughs, Colds, Bron­ chitis, Asthma and all Throat and Lung diseases. 50c and $1.00 at Julia A. Story's. Trial bottles free.

When we say that a person Is Mas fast as a por­ poise," We hardly atssodate a quick rate of swimming with that individual, yet be and everybody else would like to be able to get through the water as rapidly. Porpoises have been seen to dart round and round a steamer travel. Ing seventeen miles an hour, thus prov­ ing their c&pftcity to swim it a gwatec rate than that. The dolphin may be placed on *-level with the porpoise, but the bonlto has occasionally been known to approach forty miles for short distances. a rate between ten and twelv« tuijeai mackerel swim much faster; and both trout and salmon go at a rapid pace when migrating up a stream for spawn- Whales ace not fish in the scientific 5S€52£SP but It U Interesting to note that these monsters swim at a rate of SIXP teen miles an hour when excited, at though their ordinary speed is estimate ed at between floor and five miles.

Dear Sirs:--For almost fifteen years I suffered from indigestion and last winter thought I would die, when my physician. Dr. A. J. Lieurance of this place, advised my trying Dr. Caldwell "a Syrup Pepsin, which I did, and two bot­ tles cured me. It not only relieved me, but it cured tile so that I have not been troubled tince.

CASES OF DEAFNESS OR® HARD HEARING ARB NOW CURABLE by our new invention. Only those born deaf are incurable. HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY. P. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS J BALTIMORE, Md., March 30, 1901. CtntUmtn : -- Being: entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give yOS a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for eatnrrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num. ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearinp in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat­ ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my bearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank JW, 1 heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours, F. A. WERMAN, 730 S.
