i THE XEW CASTLE WEEKLY HERALD FOUR THOUSANDS HERALD OF FAIR WOMEN PRAISES FOR PERUNAi Catarrhal Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration Makes Invalids of More Women Than all Other Diseases Combined argument in support of lengthening the term is' to be accepted as a good argument, why not elect our Presidents for life? If business stability is the desideratum, why not, indeed, adopt a monarchical system, in which policies are fixed for at least a generation and are safe from disturbance by anything short of revolution? Mr. Sibley is voicing a commercialism whose patriotism is measured in dollars and cents. If there is one fault in our governmental system that is graver than another, it is that it is not sufficiently flexible. The legislative and the executive are not so quickly responsive to public opinion as they should be. Changes in policy demanded by public sentiment are more quickly brought about in monarchical England than in Democratic America, as it is.

Here, several years must elapse before the complexion of the government can be changed entirely. For example, should Judge Parker be elected in November, the policies for which preference would thus be indicated could not be made effective for several years, or until the Republican majority in the Senate had been destroyed. We agree that the cure for democracy's evils is more democracy; we believe that if the Presidential term is changed it should be shortened, and believe that United States Senators should be elected by the people, and for terms of two years. The most democratic government is that which is most quickly and completely responsive to the will of the majority. Flexible governments can bend to a storm.

Many inflexible governments have broken. As to the second argument of Mr. Sibley, we have only to remind our leaders that history is against him. For example, Cleveland was a better President in his first when he hoped for re-election, than he was in his second, when he knew, after its first year, that a Republican would succeed him. ing inflammation and catarrh.

BISHOP POTTER'S ACT The Right Reverend Henry Codman Potter, bishop of the Episcopal diocese of New York City, has brought a storm of denunciation about his ears by helping to found a saloon and by personally conducing semi-religious exercises upon the occasion of its opening. That Bishop Potter expected censure is more than likely; but he is not a man to shrink for prudential reasons from what' he conceives to be duty. During his episcopal career he has been, perhaps, the most frequently and most bitterly ecclesiastic in the United States.

It would appear that some of the bishop's critics very seriously misunderstand his views, and that a vast deal of the indignation that is finding expression arises from Ignorance of his Position. He believes the liquor traf-c a serious evil; and while not a Pro-tbitionist, would probably abolish it he could. But he Is an essentially man and is, moreover, the vver a diocese in which conditions Jieally different from those of 4 other diocese in America, excepting perhaps that including Chicago. As a student of sociology whose investigations are made in the street, rather than in the library, he has come to believe that there is in New York a large class of people to whom the saloon is the only social center open, and thut Until the system by which it is made such can be changed, the most effective temperance work that can be done in certain districts of New York city is along the line of saloon reform. The so-called Potter saloon is less of a saloon than a coffee house.

Hot and cold soft drinks are invitingly offered, and beer and whiskey are kept in the background as much as may be. The man in charge is interested in "pushing" soft drinks, for on their sale he receives a commission, and gets none cn sales of intoxicants The experiment is not altogether new, for it has been tried with success by the Rev. George Rainsford, rector of St. George's Episcopal Church, New York, whose work has the endorsement of men such as J. P.

Morgan. Rainford's experience has practically destroyed drunkenness in St. George's parish. In any event, it must be understood that the Potter saloon idea is not that of the Episcopal Church, nor that of tha Episcopal diocese of New York, nor of Bishop Potter as head of that diocese. It is the idea of Henry C.

Potter, sociologist. Some of his bitterest critics are bishops, priests and laymen of the church in which he is a prelate. It is as well, too, to note that a prelate so fair and enlightened as the Right Rev. Bishop Potter probably understands conditions in his diocese better than do people who reside outside its' bounds. THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM Congressman Sibley favors the lengthening of the Presidential term to six years, with an amendment that will render a President ineligible for the term ensuing that for which he is elected.

He employs the stereotyped arguments, two in number, which are: 1. Presidential elections disturb business conditions, and should be no more frequent than public policy demands. 2. Knowledge of the fact that he could be President but once "would deter the incumbent from doing the many things that Presidents do towards the end of their first term in the hope of being elected again. It would make honesty and a clean administration the thing sought after, not another nomination." There is something of force in these arguments, of course, but to our way of thinking the changes suggested by Mr.

Sibley are not advisable. If bis Rive all the credit to Peruna." Mrs. Leone Dolehan. Peruna will be found to effect an Immediate and lasting cure in all cases of systemic catarrh. It acts quickly and beneficially on the diseased mucous membranes, and with healthy mucous membranes the catarrh can no longer exist.

Miss Louise Matt, 1259 Van Buren Chicago, Illn writes: Peruna is a most wonderful medicine for catarrhal and stomach troubles. I suffered so long with indigestion and dyspepsia, and tried many things to enre me, without relief. I finally bought a bottle of Peruna and in just six weeks I was entirely rid of my stomach trouble." Louke Matt. MISSIONARY DELEGATE MAKES A REPORT The board meeting of the Women's Home Missionary Society held at Chautauqua July 21st, was unanimously declared to be the best ever held In the'Erie conference. There were good gains In all lines of the work save in subscriptions to C.

H. where there was a loss of seventy-six. New Castle district alone paid $618.97, a gain over iast year of $188.32. In supplies it is the banner district of the conference, having sent supplies valued at $905.13, $180.04 being cash. There were 90 new members added in New Castle district, but the loss in membership reduced the net gains to only seventeen.

It was decided to pay what is given to Italian work directly to treasurer of board of Italian missions and his receipt will be accepted by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Thompson same as cash, and credit given.

On Sunday morning at both the First and Central Piesbyterian Churches interesting talks weie given by Miss Beulah Wilson, of Cuba, to the Sun day schools.

Miss Wilson is a former county girl, her parents residing in Hoytdale, and" is a graduate of the New Castle High School. In her talk she spoke of the work among the Cubans, their pecuianties and habits, and their homes. They are very anxious to learn and especially to become familiar with the Engilsh language and customs. They are very fond or children ana tue workers find ready access to their homes when accompanied by little people. Two children of Dr.

Stevenson, superintendent of missions in Cuba, aro special favorites. The people appreciate the work of the missionaries and Miss Wilson spoke of when- a man who, when he observed how well a little girl visiting at his home behaved, asked where she had learned such nice manners. When informed that the child was a mission student he said he would send his daughter there, too. The homes of the natives are built with one large door, through which every one and everything en ters or leaves the house; the family, their horse and carriage, their visitors and all. The windows do not have glass In them, but are covered with a grating, through which they get plenty of air.

A low wall is built around the yard. Miss Wilson -said that many Cubans have blue eyes and clear white skin and that not all of them are dark as many people imagine. A young Cuban boy whom Dr. Stev enson brought from Cuba, talked at the Westfield church on Sunday morning, and at the Mahoning church In the On next bnmlay Dr. hteven-son will pre ach at the First Presby terian Church.

Each county in Pennsylvania is to place in the new State Capitol, upon its completion, the statue of one of its distinguished citizens. In a number of counties great interest is already being taken in the matter of selection, but in Lawrence county there has been no discussion as to a choice. Many names might be suggested.

For obvious reasons, the discussion of those of men now living would be improper; but the pages of Lawrence county's history are blazoned with names of men whose memories our people would be proud to honor. Soldiers and statesmen rank first, of course. One belonging to both classes was the Rev. Robert Audley Browne, D. the "fighting chaplain" of the famous Roundheads, a Senator of Pennsylvania and once his party's candidate for Governor.

Two gallant and altogether admirable soldiers, were Colonel Daniel Leasure, of the Roundheads, and Colonel Edward O'Brien, of the One Hundred and Thirty-Fonrth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. The late Adjutant General McClelland was, too, a Lawrence county man. Dr. John J. Wallace was perhaps the most distinguished Lawrence county law-maker now dead, serving in Congress at a period, of our country's greatest stress, and long a leader in the county.

Among the names of our de- mg I was given up to die with quick consumption. I then began to use AVer's Cherry Pectoral. I improved at once, and am now in perfect health." Chas. E. Hart-man, Gibbstown, N.

If he says take It, then do as be says. If be toll yon not to take it, then dori't take it. He knows. Constipation delays recovery. Take laxative doses of Ayer's Pills, gentle, purely vegetable.
