Iter Dr Waddell n long time resident
j of New 7caland Is In the city I hat
ountry has been pointed to for n great
number of yeara as the leader of progress
owing to Hs alleged application of the
true principles of taxation and govern-
ment To obtain from tho evangelist his
conclusions on his ohscrwitlons since ho
has been there a lost representative called
upon him yesterday lie said Well air
It Is a government composed of the direct
1 representatives nf labor but they ham
i been successful lu aaialillahlng it prosper
ous condition of affairs which not only
protect the laborer MUllled and unskilled
but which does not lit the least luterfeie
with tho legitimate rights of capital
When questioned ua to the laud tax lawn
of New onlaud about which so much
has been written lu recent jears he said
The giont majority of the people In my
opinion aie MitlHled with the land lux
as applied theiu ami It would be lmpo bl
ble to repeal the law and go back to the
old Hjwiem which Is tho one still In vogue
lu the United tttutcsthat Is to say iho
taxation of lmpioemcutH and personal
proudly Tho effect or the land tax was
to break up large holdings of vacant laud
which hud1 been held out of uho for specu
lation und tu open up tho name for the lue
of farmers and tho poor und tmemplojeil
of tho largo cities Au other great factor
lu tho growing prosperity of the farmer
and laborer Is the ownership of rallioads
and other public utllltliui which prevents
me unjust taxation of tho farmer in the
shape or exorbitant freight rates etc The
principle of municipal ownership Is so
geueiallv accented that It has censed to
lie a debatable subject Should public
oftlelals so fur forget theinscUes as to pro-
pose to give nway a public fninclilso the
indignation of the people would bo go
gtcat that tho proposition would never
reach llnnl loglilnthe action and tho pro
poser of such a measure would be relegated
to political oblivion The boards of con-
ciliation and the court of arbitration lmvo
given New Zealand the name of a land
without strikes nil differences between
employer and employes luulug been ad
justed amicably tor tho past Uvo jcars
lion John McKcnale he said Intro
duced u Itil which was passed giving the
State power io force the owners of large
tracts of vacant land to sell the same to
the btale at n price eoual to 10 per cent
above the assessed valuation of tuo land
lu ordor to be able to buy thli land the
state of New 7enhiml bonowed money at
a very low rate of Interest resold the
land to the people on long time nnd In
many Instances loaned tho farmers sufU
dent rush to support them for tho llist
year wallo their first crops were being
made This legislation has reduced the
rate of Interest aud prevented usury on

A COFFEE SWORD
The Old Things Would Bob Up
Coffee puts Its sword Into people first
one placo and then another You may de-
pend upon It If you arc a coffee drinker
and have ailments In some of the organs
of the body that coffee Is doing Its work
You may prove whether It Is or not by
leaving it off for ten days or two weeks
although It often takes from nine months
to two years to recover from Its effects
Mr J W Ashby Mt Airy N C sais
I was n coffee drluker for twenty five
years About three years ago I suffered
greatly with palus In the region or mv
heart and the pit of my stomach Thras
pains appeared about the same time each
day
I wondered If coffee might net be the
fault so began the test ef leaving off coffee
The palus ceased but when I began to use
coffee again tho same old pains would boh
up 1 have now been using Pvstiim t r
some time In plsee of coffee ami am en-
tirely cured of the old neursigla of its

THE U STANDARD
No Man Is Stronger Than
His Stomach
The man who seeks to enlist in the
H S Army must lie physically sound
There is n minimum standard of height
and men under that standard no matter
how healthy will not be accepted Hut
aside from height the requirement is a
sound physical condition ntul this con-
dition dcjiends in chief upon the health
of the stomach and its allied organs of
digestion nnd nutrition Many a man
has been rejected by the medical ex-
aminer who uppenrcd externally to
possess nil the physical requirements of
n good soldier Itut the examiner looks
below the surface He knows when the
stomach is weak and he knows also that
no man ih stronger than his stomach
Most people look upon indigestion as-
a discomfort rather than a disease But
in reality indigestion or dyspepsia is the
disease of all diseases It makes other
diseases possible It involves the blood
and the heart lungs lier kidneys
every organ of the tody
WKAK STOMACH WKAK MAN
That a weak stomach causes gen-
eral physical weakness may easily be
understood Food is the staff of life
The source of all physical strength is
food Hut before the body cau receive
strength froui what is eaten the food
must be digested and assimilated To
convert the food eaten into nutrition is
the office of the stomach and the other
organs of digestion and nutrition When
the stomach is weak the food received
into it is only partly digested nnd as-
similated the body loses its proper sup-
ply of nutrition nnd grows proportion-
ately weak The capacity of the stomach
in its normal health and use equals the
nutritive demands of the body State
that normal capacity as equal to loo
When the stomach is weak its capacity
is reduced proportionately It may be
that ten or twenty per cent of the uutn
tive values of the tood eaten are lost or
wasted That ten or twenty per cent of
lost nutrition must then represent a ten-
or twenty per cent loss of physical

WniJRK STRENGTH COMES FROM
Physical strength comes from food and
from food alone If a man has enough
to eat and eats enough theres no reason
why he should not have a perfectly
nourished and healthy body If he is
not well nourished if he is losing weight
then the stomach is weak or diseased
whether he knows itornot If he knows
he has stomach trouble then he may
be sure that the trouble xvill not slop
with the stomach but will reach out to
other organs of the body dependent on
the stomach for nutrition
Dr Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
has restored lost health end strength to
thousands of suffering men and women
because it cures diseases of the stomach
and other organs of digestion and nutri
tton and enables the building up of tiio
Iwdy in the onv way known to nature
by the assimilation of the nutrition ex
traded from food Oolden Medical
Uiscovcry makes the weak stomach
strong and so makes the weak man
strong by perfect nutrition
I had been suffering from indigestion
so badly that I could not work more thnn
half the lime writes Mr Victor L Hay-
den of Blackstone Nottoway Co Va
But now I can work every day and eat
anything I want Why Because I took
Dr R V Pierces Golden Medical Dn
covery It has put new life and energy
in me restored my health and made a
man of me once more I used to weigh
170 b ut had gotten down to 144 now am
back to 150 and will soon be back at my
old weight if nothing happens Your
medicine has done it all I cannot thank
you enough for your advice and think if
it had not been for your medicine I
would not have been here many years
A CORNliatD LUSSON
The average person seems entirely un-
aware of the depeudencc of the several
organs of the body upon the stomach for
their health and strength
But if a weak stomach
makes a weak man that
weakness must be distri-
buted among all the parts
and organs which taken
as a whole make up the
physical man The rela-
tion of the stomach to the
physical organs is like the
relation of the corn to the
soil in which it grows If
the soil abounds in the
nutrition which makes
corn then the stalk is tall
the leaves broad the ears
heavy If the soil is poor
or weak then the corn is
weak nnd it is weak all-
over in stall leaf and ear
Every part of the corn
shares lu the lack of nu-
tritive elements in the
soil Its so with the
stomach When it is
weak and there is loss
of nutrition every organ
shares that loss heart
liver luug3 kidneys etc
Dr Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of organs remote from the
stomach when these diseases have their
origin in disease of the stomach and its
allied organs of digestion and nutrition
In numerous cases men and women who
have takenGolden Medical Discovery
to cure disease of the stomach have been
astonished to find themselves cured of
diseases of heart lungs liver kidneys
or other orgsno
Words fail to express what I suffered
for three years with cold chills palpita-
tion of heart shortness of breath nnd
low spirits writes Mrs A C Jones of
Walterboro Colleton Co S C I could
not sleep and really thought I would
soon die Had a peculiar roaring through
my head all the time Was so emaciated
and weak I could not feed myself My
aunt induced me to try Doctor Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery which I did
only to please her and six bottles cured
tne Today am sound aud well Dur
iug the three > cars I was sick I liad five
different physicians
Dr Pierces Tleasant Pellets assist the
action of the Discovery
Dont be fooled into trading a sub-
stance for a shadow Any substitute
offered as just as good as Golden
Medical Discovery is a shadow of that
medicine There are cures behind every
claim made for the Discovery which
no just as good medicine can show
