The Farmer's WifeIs very careful about her churn. Shescalds it thoroughly after using, and givesit a sun batth to sweeten it. She knowsthat if her churn is sour it will taint thebutter that is made in it. The stomach isa churn, In the stomach and digestiveand nutritive tracts are performed pro-cesses which are almost exactly like thechurning of butter. Is it not apparentthen that if this stomach-churn is foul itmakes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alonethe bad taste in the mouth and the foulbreath caused by it, but the corruption ofthe pure current of blood and the dissem-ination of disease throughout the body.Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discoverymakes the sour and foul stomach sweet.It does for the stomach what the washing

If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste inyour mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,are weak and easily tired, feel depressedand despondent, have frequent headaches,dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-ach, constipated or Irregular bowels, souror bitter risings after eating and poorappetite, these symptoms, or any consider-able number of them, indicate that you aresuffering from biliousness, torpid or lazyliver with the usual accompanying indi-

NEW ORLEANS LETTER.
"Don't Believe all You Read in the Pa-
pers!" Advises a Knowing Street
Car Conductor--Cold Wave Fails
to Arrive on Schedule Time.
New OrleAs. La., Oct. 9. 1907.Staff Correspondence of The Chief.
Commend me to many of the localstreet car conductors and a few mem-bers of the police force for knowingas little as is necessary for persons intheir respective callings. I recentlyasked three officers of the law in suc-cession to direct me to a certain well-known hair-dresser's establishment inthe vicinity of Canal street, and wasfinally compelled to appeal to anevery-day citizen for the required in-formation. The other morning Iboarded a Prytania car and as I
handed my fare to the conductor Isaid to him: "When is your generaltransfer system going into effect?""My WHICH?" he asked, looking at meas if he thought I was out of my head."I want to know when the New Or-leans Railways Company is going toissue general transfers among the carlines," I repeated, with praiseworthyexactness. "Oh, we ain't goin' to is-sue no transfers," he replied, "whotol' you we wuz?" "Why, I saw itin the papers!" said I. "Shucks!"heresponded in a relieved tone andgrinning with a large complacency,"you mustn't believe all you see inthe newspapers!"
The cold wave that was due herelast Saturday evidently had stop-overprivileges and didn't arrive till thismnrninc.
Between games at a bridge partyone afternoon last week I heard a trioof women discussing the particulartrials they were compelled to endurein their respective neighborhoods."Babies are our complaint," said arather handsome brunettp, wearily."There are nine of them in our im-mediate vicinity ranging from threemonths to three years of age, andthey all seem to be physical culturefiends with special attention directedtowards lung development. The in-fant chorus begins along about half-after-five in the morning and con-tinues without cessation up to ourvery breakfast hour. I have a sweettime trying to sleep in the face of thatclamor infantum, and the dear littledisturbers of my peace are so effectu-ally assisted in their efforts to arousethe entire neighborhood by their chat-tering nurses and doting mammas thatI realize there's nothing to do but saygood-bye to sleep from the momentthe circus begins." "It's dogs withus," wailed a pretty little matron,disconsolately, "all sizes and condi-tions of them-bulls, terriers, poodles,collies, mongrels-and at various in-tervals during the night and unfail-ingly at daybreak the whole collectionbecomes involved in deafening dis-putes, howling, whining and barkingwhile I lie furiously awake losing mytemper, my religion and a lot of nec,essary sleep. Babies? Well - youought to know what it means to beafflicted with a neighborhood of dogs."The last of the trio-a sweet, dainty-looking, fluffy-haired girl--looked atthe two who had recounted their or-deals, while her bright eyes twinkledand danced like animated violets."You poor dears, you," she cooed,sweetly, "you don't begin to- knowwhat real disturbances are. We havea neighborhood of musical fiends; aprecocious twelve-year-old at oursouth-east corner is learning to playthe flute; a family of schoolgirls acrossthe way are devotees of the mandolin;there's a wheezy phonograph in thehouse next to their's and a pianola inthe corner house farthest from us.But our next-door neighbor is thepiece de resistance of the collection-she is possessed of a veteran pianowhich she attacks every evening athalf-past eight. The good soul actu-ally pursues a system; she is a sortof Nelly Bly of the piano and toursthe world-melodiously speaking-ineighty-minutes. As a rule she makesa start from New York, and, vocifer-ously pounding out 'Good Bye, DearOld Manhattan Isle,' embarks uponthe 'Sad Sea Waves' and lands -in'Bonnie Scotland' or 'By SweetSiloam's Shady Rill,' or some otherforeign port. From country to coun-try she flits playing snatches of folksongs and national airs in a series ofchords and discords that make youfeel downright sorry for the piano.Then she dashes madly back toAmerica and systematically and geo-graphically progresses from state songto state song till she finally pulls upwith 'Dixie' and a grand finale of'Home, Sweet Home'. And just thinkof it," continued.4he pretty girl, plain-tively, "that happens every blessedevening of our lives. Some nightsbrother pokes his curly head in mydoorway and inquires in a sepulchralvoice: 'Where is she now, sis?' 'In'Jerusalem',' ireply, equally funerealof face and tone. 'Good Lord, she'sa whole hour from 'Diie'--here'swhere I hike' " and out and away hegoes. Babies and dogs? " finishedthe girl with pretty contempt, "Well,one evening of the musical fiendswould convince both you imaginarysiufferers what nice, peaceful neigh•borhoods are yours. That's all Ihaveto say!"
