Chance for a Bargain CHANCE FOR ME BARGAIN. An Irishman who went to presse photos from Ireland to buy it to purchase a small bottle in which to mix some of his solutions. Seeing one he wanted, he asked the chemist how much it would be. "Wil!" said the chemist, "it will] be twice as it is, but] you want anything in it, I won't charge you for the bottle." "Thea" paid Pat, "put a cork in it." College Courses in Politics. To Columbia universal belongs the credit for the degree designed to give students a practical knowledge of the conduct of political affairs. That institution has asked the bureau of municipal research in New York to give the members of the class the benefit of the experience it has derived from the study of the law. The degree has been accepted. The growing demand for the adoption of the scientific methods of city governments lends support to the view that college men will be in demand in this department of the public service, hence the propriety and usefulness of a unit degree. The degree is indicated by the innovation at Columbia. Haltlana a Lazy Lot Sydney Brooks, writing to the London Chronicle about Haiti, says the Haitians were the first people in the world to abolish slavery, and Mrs. C. R. Miller, writing in Leslie's Weekly, says of Haiti: "In that little republic, covering about 10,000 square miles, within five days' sail of New York, one may encounter more strange complications and a greater diregard for human life than in the remote countries of the east. Stuarted in the very heart of the West Indies, where within five days' sail of Haiti alone has kept her doors closed to progress. She became an independent state more than 100 years ago. Her rich lands were already under cultivation, but the lazy natives allowed the plantations to go to ruin, and forests have grown up instead." Farm Employment for Criminals. Gov. Harris of Ohio believes that criminals can be employed on a farm with advantage to themselves and the state. He proposes that prisoners in the penitentiary who are not confirmed criminals be transferred to the reformatory and put to work on the state farm. "It is the conditions of our cities that breed crime," says the governor. "Most of it can be traced to idleness and drink, and idleness is frequently the cause of drink. There little drink in the country and practically no idleness. If the young man who had slipped over the bounds of a law were taught scientific farming he would come to like it and escape the associates who carry him down when he returns to the city." Milk an Intoxicant New York City alone consumes annually 840,000,000 quarts of milk. We drink 2,800,000 quarts a day. And this does not include mothers' milk for infants; just cows' milk—watered and unwatered, for both infants and adults. The milk is readily made intoxicating in warm climates simply by agitation. This feature was quickly discovered." Being placed in a skin and slung from the shoulder or over the back, it was agitated by the motion of the hunter, and fermentation was soon well under control. The milk was too clean, some milk of the previous day being left in it, which would act as a leaven. Rare Washington Portrait. A rare and curious mezzotint portraits of George Washington in the library of the late Lafayette S. Richardson of Lowell, Mass., was auctioned last year in Boston. It is outlined "George Washington, late president of the United States," and was published March 14, 1801, by J. Hinton Linden. It is a small folio and is colored by hand. It looks as much like George III. as it does the Father of His Country. Baker, who wrote the "Engraved Portraits of Washington," says that only one imitation was made under the notice of the writer. It was in neither the Clarkson nor the Carson sale of Washington portraits. Insist on Yellow Flour Charles Christador, an expert on flour and grains, sounds the keynote of the new situation brought about by the bleached flour decision when he says in a communication to the editor commenting on the bleached flour decision: "The bleached flour will now assist on yellow tinted or creamy flour, and will learn to realize that a natural flour very white can in no manner compare with the creamy or yellow flour in so far as glutens and muscle building values are concerned. As a form of demonstration of the large flour mills of the country were using this bleaching process, the decision is far-reaching."-National Food Magazine. Protective Device. When a telephone line is electrostatically charged the telephone acts as a condenser. The winding serves as one plate of the condenser, the frame of the receiver as the dielectric and the person who is holding the receiver to his car as the other plate of the condenser. In order to prevent this condenser from discharging through the person, a German inventor provides a grounded metallic cover for the receiver, the capacity of which is somewhat greater than that of the body. Large Catch of Herring. The east coast herring fishing has been brought to a close and the boats are being rapidly made up and the crews paid off. At Yarmouth and Lowerstoft the total catch has been, in round figures, 77,360 lasts, or 1,011,152,000 fish. What the retail value would be is difficult to estimate, but at three a penny—and seldom are they even hawked about the streets at a cheaper rate—the sum works out at £1,404,468—London News. IN THE DAYS OF THE DUEL Reminder of Times When Gentlemen Met on "Field of Honor." The years which separate us Americans from dueling are fewer than most of us realize. The late Prof. Shafer's Autobiography, in the Atlantic, has this amusing reminiscence: "The first occasion was when a little cousin of mine with too much wine in him challenged a well-known duelist, James Jackson, who as a general fell at Perryville. Fortunately, I knew Jackson well as a boy of 18 may know a man of twice his years. I made my plea to him to give my kiman man an easy way out. At first he was obdurate, saying that he had reason to be vexed—but in the end he told his second to 'fix it up' with me. My good, I may say indeed affectionate, relations with Jackson had begun a year before in a like abused business in a ballroom. Frankfort. I had accidentally stepped into a mess made on the floor by the breaking of a bottle of champagne, which he as manager was trying to have cleaned up. With a sharp word, he pushed me aside; my new-found manly dignity was offended; so therefore, as usual he had his card. His answer was: "I beg pardon, my dear sir, I took you for a boy." We both saw the fun of the situation, and became friends. He was one of the glories of this world; he lifted my sense of what it was to be a man—the ancient type of gentleman." HE HAD THE FAMILY FAILING. Humorous Apology Made by Pompous Old Colored Butter. A relative of Thomas Nelson Page, who resides in the south, has in his employ an old family butter, who goes by the name of "Ebe," short for Ebenezer. Ebe is a very pompous "cultured gemmun," intensely proud of "de family" and emulative of his master, "de cuhel," in every possible instance. A few days ago there was a big dinner "up at de house," and in the colonel's absence Ebu took advantage of the occasion to get gloriously intoxicated, and was unable to attend to his duties for a day or two. A daughter of the household undertook to reprove the old man, who expressed great repentance, promised reform, and finally, when he saw how seriety his offence was taken, ended with: "Now, Miss Luter, do you be too hald on his dahkey, Ah knows you oughtn't drink drink whiskey when all dem folks was heath, but den yo knows, Miss Lucy, Ah's jus 'lak' cuhel; and, Miss Lucr, yo' knows yo'e' none ob us Pages evah could stan' no Iquah. The "No-Breakfast" Habit The no-breakfast habit is harmless enough, provided a healti meal is taken, not before going to bed, but early in the evening. Late dinners have no need of "breakfast" until noontime. The French and other continental people discovered this ages ago, and have thrived under it. Barring the cup of coffee or chocolate, the late dining French man wants nothing to eat until luncheon. But the habit of avoiding early food and drink in this region must be taxed. The thermal energies must be taxed during the morning hours is one of those silly notions which bear anaemic results, visible in the complexion, the color and eventually the constitution of those devoted to it.—Boston Herald. Principle of Education At the foundation of the art of education must be the following principle, which those who make in advance the plans for such education must understand: It is necessary to bring up children so that their education shall be adaptable not to the present, but to the future, perhaps better, condition of the human race—that is, it should be adapted to the idea of mankind and its entire designation. This principle is important in the highest degree. Usually these bring up their children, and they shall be fit only for the present world, even though it is deprived. But they should educate their children better in order to create thus a future better state of mankind—Kant. Small Boy Then and Now Small Boy Then and Now. This is the way the editor of the St. Joseph Press is writing. "David was considered a noble little fellow because he went forth and slew the giant, Goliath, with his sling. It pleased King Saul and all the children of Israel to such an extent that he was at once crowned as a hero and made a ruler. Very little herosism would be credited to an act of, that kind in our day of the world. "Give the average ten-year boy a chance to play and he would not only kill the giants within four miles of him, but there would not be a window light nor a dog within that radius." Fashion and Good Taste Fashion and Good Taste. It is very foolish and betrays what a small mind we have, to allow fashion to sway us in everything that regards taste; in our way of living, our health and our conscience. We have a hobby to love and to have a taste for beauty and beautiful, but for what is rare and singular and for what no one else can match; it is not to like things which are perfect, but those which are most sought after and fashionable. It is not an amusement but a passion; and often so violent that in the meanness of its object it yields only to love and ambition.—Jean De La Bruyere. Price Five Cents. A TRAP FOR EAVESDROPPERS. Simple Device Well Calculated to insure Privacy. The eavesdropper, are applying his ear, applied his eye. Through the keyhole another eye looked cold into his. He started back, pale with fright, his blighted hurriedly. "I'll lose my job." he muttered. Meanwhile his mistress, the widow, sat with the young and gallant captain in the room from whose door the eavesdropper had retreated. A cigarette smoldered between her slim fingers and her dimpled elbows were on the table, among the litter of fole gras sandwiches, cold partridge and champagne. The young captain pointed to the door. A hand mirror, its silver gilt back towards him, hung from the door knob. "Why did you put that there?" he asked. "It is a trap for peepers," replied the widow. "Suppose my butler or cook stole to the door and put his eye to the keyhole. His eye would meet another eye. Believing himself discovered, he would trot silently, away." DAYS OF TRIBULATION OVER. Persistent Office-Seeker Had Finally Landed Soft Job. "I remember one man from my home town," a westerner senator said recently, "in the good old days of civil service examinations, whose dream of earthly attainment was a government place. When his party was finally successful he immediately asked the senator to the job long before the 4th of March, but there seemed to be a hitch somewhere. All through the spring he were about town. Wherever I went I would see him, striving for or just after an audience with some department official. By June he was seedy and broken looking, but still appeared to be 'game'. Finally I found him in the gallery of the senate chamber apprehended. "Well, have you given it up? I asked, to be sympathetic. "Ob, I got the job all right, he replied with a satisfied smile. 'I'm working now.' -Success Magazine. The Earliest Religion. Religion was at first purely domestic, an affair of the family, pure and simple. The gods were the dead ancestors, and the worship consisted of the perpetual care of the hearth fire and the graves of the departed relatives. It was the ancient belief (the most ancient, so far as we know) that the departed ancestors continued to live in or about the tomb, and that their peace and happiness depended absolutely upon the care with which their postity looked after their worship. If the hearth fire was allowed to die down, or the tomb was neglected, or the food and drink were not faithfully taken to the tomb, their existence was a watched event, if these things were carefully attended to, all was serene with them. There is much to show that this domestic belief obtained for a long time before the belief in God and a future life came in—Chicago American. "Only a hand mirror should find place in a sickroom," said a doctor, "and it should be one flattering to the patient—the kind, for instance, which if the face is too broad, will lengthen it a little. And the patient should only be allowed to look in the mirror at propitious times. Many a patient has been frightened literally to death by his haggard reflection—has looked, sighted, and renounced hope. But many another patient in a really bad way—really desperate too—being given a pill of salt after he has taken a stimulant, has taken up wonderfully. In fact, a sickroom mirror, wisely handled, is a curative agent, while recklessly handled it may kill." Loved and Hated. Europe hates our rich art patrons and loves them. It loves them for the money they have made and are willing to spend on old masters and new masters, even when they are spurious. It hates the rich American when he beats a rich European in competition for some highly desired art treasure. Then Americans become more men who triumph by brute strength of mind and intellect. Art consumers who raise art price to unreasonable heights by their traditional desire to get what they want when they want it. Been There Before. A new constable was on duty at one the London police courts, and was called to the scene. "Mind the step," he said, as they came to a dark corner. "All right," muttered the prisoner; "I knew that step before you were born." "We have parted forever. He writes me to send back the ring." "Tell him to call for it," advised the experienced friend—Louisville Courier-Journal. World Seem So. Crawford—Do the rich know how the other half live? Crabshaw—After taking their money from them they must be able to form some idea of how they are compelled to live—Puck. --- IOWA STATE BYSTANDER. CITY NEWS. N. B.

Reason A Chance for a Bargain. An Irishman who had begun to practice photography went into a shop to purchase a small bottle in his shirt. He asked the chemist he wanted, he asked the chemist how much it would be. "Wt!!" said the chemist, "it will be twopence as it is, but" you want anything in it, it won't charge you for the bottle. "Thea," said Pat, "put a cork in it." College Course in Politics. To Columbia University belongs the credit of offering the first course designed to give students a practical knowledge of the conduct of political affairs. That institution has asked the bureau of municipal research in New York to give the members of the class the benefit of the experience it has derived from the study of the affairs of that city, and the invitation has been accepted. The growing degree and the specific methods of city governments lend support to the view that college men will be in demand in this department of the public service, hence the propriety and usefulness of a university course established on the lines indicated by the innovation at Columbia. Haltlans a Lazy Lot. Sydney Brooks, writing to the London Chronicle about Haiti, says the Haitians were the first people in the world to abolish slavery, and Mrs. C. R. Miller, writing in Leslie's Weekly, says of Haiti: "In that little republic, covering about 10,000 square miles, within five days' sail of New York, one encounter more strange complications and a greater disregard for human life than in the remote countries of the east. Situated in the heart of the Caribbean, civilization exists in a high degree, Haiti alone has kept her doors closed to progress. She became an independent state more than 100 years ago. Her rich lands were already under cultivation, but the lazy natives allowed the plantations to go to ruin, and forests have grown up instead." Farm Employment for Criminals. Gov. Harris of Ohio believes that criminals can be employed on a farm with advantage to themselves and the state. He proposes that prisoners in the penitentiary who are not convicted to the reformatory and put to work on the state farm. "It is the conditions of our cities that breed crime," says the governor. "Most of it can be traced to idleness and drink, and idleness is frequently the cause of drink. There is little drink in the country and practically no idleness. The fact that the boundaries of a law were taught scientific farming he would come to like it and escape the associates who carry him down when he returns to the city." Milk an Intoxicant New York City alone consumes annually $40,000,000 quarts of milk. We drink 2,800,000 quarts a day. And this does not include mothers' milk for infants; just cows' milk—watered and unwatered, for both infants and adults. The milk readily made intoxicating in warm climates simply by agitation. This feature was quickly discovered." Being placed in a skin and slung from the shoulder or over the back, it was agitated by the motion of the hunter, and fermentation was soon well under way. The skin was undoubtedly none of the more than 40 percent day being left in it, which would act as a leaven. Rare Washington Portrait. A rare and curious mezzotint portrait of George Washington in the library of the late Lafayette S. Richardson of Lowell, Mass., was auctioned off last year in Boston. It is entitled "George Washington, late president of the United States of America, etc." and was published March 14, 1801, by J. Hinton Linden. It is a small folio and is colored by hand. It looks as much like George III. as it does the Father of His Country, Baker, who wrote the "Engraved Portraits of Washington," says that only one impression of this mezzotint has come under the notice of the writer. It was in neither the Clarkson nor the Carson sale of Washington portraits. Insist on Yellow Flour. Charles Christador, an expert on flour and grains, sounds the keynote of the new situation brought about by the bleached flour decision when he says in a communication to the editor commenting on the bleached flour decision, "We are not interested on yellow tinted or creamy flour, and will learn to realize that a natural flour very white can in no manner compare with the creamy or yellow flour in so far as glutens and muscle building values are concerned. "As from 85 to 90 per cent, of the flour used in this bleaching process, the decision is far-reaching."—National Food Magazine. Protective Device. When a telephone line is electrostatically charged the phone acts as a condenser. The winding serves as one plate of the condenser, the frame of the receiver as the dielectric and the person who is holding the receiver to his ear as the other plate of the condenser. In order to prevent this condenser from discharging through the person, a German inventor provides a grounded metallic cover for the receiver, the capacity of which is somewhat greater than that of the body. Large Catch of Herring. The east coast herring, fishing has been brought to a close and the boat are being rapidly made up and the crews paid off. At Yarmouth and Lowerton the total catch has been, in round figures, 77,360 lasts, or 1,011,152,000 fish. What the retail value would be is difficult to estimate, but at three a penny- and seldom are they ever hawked about the streets at a cheaper rate—the sum works out at £1,404,468—London News. IN THE DAYS OF THE DUEL Reminder of Times When Gentleman Met on "Field of Honor." The years which separate us Americans from dueling are fewer than most of us realise. The late Prof. Robert H. Hess, a distinguished physician, has this annoying reminiscence: "The first occasion was when a sally cousin of mine with too much wine in him challenged a well-known duelist, James Jackson, who as a general fell at Perryville. Fortunately, I knew Jackson well as a boy of 18 may know a man of twice his years. I made my plea to him to give my kinsman an easy way out. At first he was obdurate, saying that he would have his life; he had. He was not the second—he end told his second to 'fix it up' with me. My good, I may say indeed affectionate, relations with Jackson had begun a year before in a albus business in a ballroom. Frankfort. I had accidentally stepped into a mess made on the floor by the breaking of a bottle of champagne, which he as manager was trying to have cleaned up. With a sharp word, he pushed me aside; my new-found many dignity was offended; so therefore he had for his card. His answer was: 't begopard, my dear sir, I took you for a boy.' We both saw the fun of the situation, and became friends. He was one of the glories of this world; he lifted my sense of what it was to be a man—the ancient type of gentleman." HE HAD THE FAMILY FAILING. Humorous Apology Made by Pompous Old Colored Butter. A relative of Thomas Nelson Page, who resides in the south, has in his employ an old family butter, who goes by the name of "Ebe," short for Ebenezer. Ebe is a very pompous "cultured man," and his family "family" and emulative of his master, "de cuheln," in every possible instance. A few days ago there was a big dinner "up at de house," and in the colonel's absence Ebe took advantage of the occasion to get gloriously intoxicated, and was unable to attend to his duties for a day or two. A daughter of the household undertook to reprove the old man, who expressed great repentance, promised reform, and made himself the most obviously his offense was taken, ended with; "Now, Miss Lucy, don’t be yo behd on had in his dakhyek. Ah knows ahoughtn't drink tdk whiskey when all dem folks was heath, but den yo knows, Miss Lucy, Ah’s jus lak' cunelhet; and Miss Lucy, jok' knows yo'self' none ob us Pages evah could stan' no Iquah." The "No-Breakfast" Habit. The no-breakfast habit is harmless enough, provided a hearty meal is taken, not before going to bed, but early in the evening. Late dinners have no need of "breakfast" until noontime. The French and other continental people discovered this agos ago, and have thrived under it. Barring the cup of coffee or chocolate, the late dining Frenchman wants nothing to eat until lunch. The habit of avoiding early food and drink in this region must be taken. Biological energies must be taxed during the morning hours is one of those silly notions which bear anaemic results, visible in the complexion, the color and eventually the constitution of those devoted to it.—Boston Herald. At the foundation of the art of education must be the following principle, which those who make in advance the plans for such education must understand: It is necessary to bring up children so that their education shall be adaptable not to the present, but to the future, perhaps better, condition of the human race—that is, it should be adapted to the idea of mankind and to its entire designation. This principle is important in the highest degree, parents bring up their children so that they shall be fit only for the present world, even though it is deprived. But they should educate their children better in order to create thus a future better state of mankind—Kant. Small Box Then and Now Small Boy Then and Now. This is the way the editor of the St. Joseph, Ga., Eye writes it: He must have displeased a noble little fellow because he wont forth and slow the giant, Goliath, with his sling. I pleased King Saul and all the children of Israel to such an extent that he was at once crowned as a hero and made a ruler. Very little heroism would be credited to an act of, that kind in our day of the world. "Give the average ten-year-old boy a chance to be crowned and he would not only kill the giants within four miles of him, but there would not be a window light nor a dog within that radius." Fashion and Good Taste Fashion and Good Taste. It is very foolish and betrays what a small, mind we have, to allow fashion to sway us in everything that regards taste; in our way of living, our health and our comfort. To have an air that is not to have a taste that is good and beautiful, but for what is rare and singular and for what no one else can match; it is not to like things which are perfect, but those which are most sought after and fashionable. It is not an amusement but a passion; and often so violent that in the meanness of its object it yields only to love and ambition.—De Jean De Bruyne. A /RAP FOR EAVESDROPPERS. Simple Device Well Calculated to In- sure Privacy. The eavesdropper, are applying his ear, applied his eye. Through the keyhole another eye looked cold into his. He started back, pale with fright. He tiptoed off hurriedly. "I'll lose my job," he muttered. Meanwhile his mistress, the widow, sat with the young and gallant captain in the room from whose door the eavesdropper had retreated. A cigarette smoldered between her slim fingers and her dimpled elbows were on the table, among the litter of foie gras sandwiches, cold partridge and champagne. The young captain pointed to the door. A hand mirror, its silver glit back towards him, hung from the door knob. "Why did you put that there?" he asked. "It is a trap for peepers," reiled the widow. "Suppose my butler or cook stole to the door and put his eye to the keyhole. His eye would meet another eye. Believing himself discovered, he would trot silently, away." DAYS OF TRIBULATION OVER. Peralistent Office-Seeker Had Finally Landed Soft Job. "I remember one man from my home town," a western senator said recently, "in the good old days of civil service examinations, whose dream of earthly attainment was a government place. When his party was finally successful he immediately set out for Washington and was on the job long before the 4th of March, but there seemed to be a hitch some people had about. We were about town. Wherever I went I would see him, striving for or just after an audience with some department official. By June he was seedy and broken looking, but still appeared to be 'game'. Finally I found him in the gallery of the senate chamber apparently endeavoring to kill time. "Well, have you given it up?" I asked, trying to be sympathetic. "Oh, I got the job, all right," he replied with a satisfied smile. "I'm working now."—"Success Magazine." The Earliest Religion. The Earliest Religion. Religion was at first purely dogmatic, an affair of the family, pure and unadorned, and the costors and the worship consisted of the perpetual care of the hearth fire and the graves of the departed relatives. It was the ancient belief (the most ancient, so far as we know) that the departed ancestors continued to live in or about the tomb, and that their peace and happiness depended absolutely upon the care with which their postity looked after their worship. If the hearth fire was allowed to die down, or the tomb was neglected, or the food and drink were not faithfully taken to the tomb, their existence became a wretched one; whereas these things were carefully attended to all, even if there is much to show that this domestic belief obtained for a long time before the belief in God and a future life came in—Chicago American. Mirror for the Sick Room "Only a hand mirror should find place in a sickroom," said a doctor, "and it should be one flattering to the patient—the kind, for instance, which if the face is too broad, will lengthen it a little. And the patient should only be allowed to look in the mirror at propitious times. Many a patient has been frightened literally to death by his haggard reflection—has looked, sighted, and renounced hope. But many another patient in a really bad way—really desperate, too—being given a patient who himself acts, he has taken a stimulant, has buckled up wonderfully, In fact, a sickroom mirror, wisely handled, is a curative agent, while recklessly handled it may kill." Loved and Hated. Europe hates our rich art patrons and loves them. It loves them for the money they have made and are willing to spend on old masters and new masters, even when they are spirulous. It hates the rich American when he beats a rich European in competition for some highly desired art treasure. Then Americans become more men who triumph by brute strength of will than by talent. Then art consumers who raise art prices to unreasonable heights by their traditional desire to get what they want when they want it. Been There Before. A new constable was on duty at one of the London police courts, and was conducting a prisoner to the cells. "Mind the step," he said, as they came to a dark corner. "All right," muttered the prisoner; "I knew that step before you were born." Chance to Make Up. "We have parted forever. He writes me to send back the ring." "Tell him to call for it," advised the experienced friend -Louisville Cou Crawford—Do the rich know how the other half live? Crabshaw—After taking their money from them they must be able to form some idea of how they are compelled to live—Puck. D. 1000-1000 INHERITED KIDNEY TROUBLE Could Feel It Constantly Gaining Ground as Time Passed. Mrs. Frank Rosebloom, 512 W. Washington St. Moscow, Idaho, says: "Kidney trouble was heeditary, and my parents spent hundreds of dollars trying to cure him, was nervous, my eyesight had failed noticeably, my circulation was bad, sleep fitful, heart ney trouble was necretary, and my parents, in the hands of dollars sprung to cure me. I was nervous, my eyesight had failed noticeably, my circulation was bad, sleep fitful, heart action irregular, and my back so weak and painful I could hardly stand it. There was also an irregularity of the kidney secretions and a cold always made the whole trouble worse. I could tell many other symptoms, to Kill Pills made me free of all of them." Sold by all dealers, 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Artist—Yes, my art is my fortune. Model (cheerily)—Never mind. Poverty is no crime. The Grip of Spring. During the last twenty years many of our citizens have been attacked in the spring months by grip. Some have had serious or minor injuries, but it is to be a dangerous disease. If Lané's Pleasant Tablets (which are sold at 25 cents a box by druggists and dealers) are taken when the first symptoms are at the onset, they are treated a foothold. If you cannot get them near home, send 25 cents to Orator F. Woodward, Le Roy, N. Y. Sample free. Diplomacy. "When a man has an argument with his wife, and she proves that he is in the wrong—" "He's" "should he own up to it?" "No. That's bad business. He should maintain he was right, and then go out and buy her something nice."—Cleveland Leader. No Luxuries. "Why, you've got the grip, old man." "I have not. I can't afford to quit work and go to bed. This is merely darned bad cold." For Colds and Grip. PE-RU-NA FOR CATARRH OF THE HEAD. THROAT. LUNGS. STOMACH KIDNEYS BLADDER AND FEMALE ORGANS.

Drowsiness, Drowsiness, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Coated Mouth, DOPED LIVER JORDAN CUBAN OFFICIALS SAY SURREN DER IS OFFERED. Havana. The revolution which began in Santa Clara province Monday bids fair to be stamped out by the government at once. While official reports say the rebellion is incipient others take it more seriously. After withholding news of the trouble, the palace officials have given the father of two of the members of the band headed by Sgt. Cortes of the rural guard had visited Gen. Montagudo, chief of the guard at Camajuani, and told him that the insurgents implored the clementy of the government and were anxious to surrender on the promise that their lives would be spared. Gen. Montagudo, accompanied by a strong escort, thereon started for the general camp. The general expected to receive their surrender Thursday. The insurgents are now completely surrounded by a cordon of more than one thousand rurales, drawn from the garrisons in various parts of the island, including Havana, but owing to the rugged character of the country, extremely difficult to come to close quarters with the rebels. While the government still insists that the band consists of only eight men, it is alleged that the movement is far-reaching and includes quite a large number of those who have become discontented with the way affairs are running. Lavasitda, a former captain of the rurale guards, was shot and killed by the detachment of the guard sent out to arrest him. It is alleged that he resisted. Lavasitda was reported officially as having been arrested at Placetas on the charge of complicity in the insurrectionary movement. It is alleged that the uprising is more serious than the authorities are willing to admit. Secretary of Government Alberdi and Gen.

TAFT MESSAGE SETS A RECORD Adheres to Revision Pledge with Treaties of Less Than 400 Words—Conditions Changed, He Says. Washington. — When President Taft's personal messenger arrived at the capitol Tuesday, supposedly with the executive message on the tariff question, groans went up from both houses of congress. The congressman, seeing no evidence of a message, drew the quick conclusion that the president hadn't written it yet and that it was to be postponed for another day. They knew the message was to be short, but they were thunderstruck when the messenger pulled it out of his vest pocket and laid it before the clerks. It was less than 400 words in length, thus setting a new word for short messages. The messenger had memorized on the way over from the White House, but owing to the amendment to the old house rules, he was not allowed to recite it, so the clerk read it there. "Get busy!" we sothe theme of the abbreviated document, the president simply telling congress that conditions in the past 12 years had so changed that a revision of the present tariff duties was an absolute necessity. He further called attention to the fact that in the republican convention at Chicago last June, the party had promised to revise the tariff if elected and this must be done. messages from Roosevelt's message were usually long and as the former occupant of the White House had engaged in a small war with congress, there was a general expression of satisfaction. Following is the message: "To the Senate and House of Representatives: I have convened the congress in this extra session in order to enable it to give immediate consideration to the revision of the Dingley tariff act. Conditions affecting production, manufacture and business generally have so changed in the last 12 years as to require a readjustment and revision of the import duties imposed by that act. More than this, the present tariff act, with the other sources of government revenue, does not furnish income enough to pay the authorized expenditures. By July 1st, next, the excess of expenses over receipts for the current fiscal year will equal $100,000.00." "The successful party in the late election is pledged to a revision of the tariff. The country, and the business community, especially, expect it. The prospect of a change in the rates of import duties always causes a suspension or halt in business because of the uncertainty as to the changes to be made and their effect. It is therefore of the highest importance upon the nation and passed with as much speed as possible consistent with its due and thorough consideration. For these reasons I have deemed the present to be an extraordinary occasion within the meaning of the constitution, justifying and requiring the calling of an extra session. "In my inaugural address, I stated in a summary way the principles upon which, in my judgment, the revision of the tariff should proceed, and indicated at least one new source of revival for the economy in order to avoid a future deficit. It is not necessary for me to repeat what I then said. "I venture to suggest that the vital business interests of the country require that the attention of the congress in this session be chiefly devoted to the consideration of the new tariff bill, and that the less time given to other subjects of legislation in this session, the better for the country.

FATHER HAD A GRIEVANCE. Some Excuse for His Violent Assault on Managing Editor. Lina Gavalieri, the beautiful Roman prima dona, said recently of her "beauty parlor" in New York: "Beauty is woman's most important attribute. She who increases beauty is woman's greatest benefactor. Husbands, brothers, even fathers—in their 'most hearts beauty is the thing they most to see in their feminine relations.' She laughed. "Only the other day," she said, "a gray, fat old gentleman entered a newspaper office and said: 'Are you the managing editor?' 'Yes,' was the reply. 'I suppose that on you, then,' said the visitor, 'rests the responsibility for this morning's reference to my daughter Patty as Fatty. Take that!'" CUTICURA CURED HIM. Exeza Came on Legs and Ankle- Could Not Wear Shoes Because Of Bad Scaling and Itching. "I have been successfully cured of dry eczema. I was inspecting the removal of noxious weeds from the edges of a river and was constantly in the dust from the weeds. At night I cleansed my limbs but felt a prickly sensation. I paid no attention to it for two years but I noticed a scum on my legs like fish scales. I did not attend to it until it came to be too itchy and sore and began getting two running sores. My ankles were all sore and scabby and I could not wear shoes. I had to use carpet and felt slippers for weeks. I got a cake of the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment. In less than ten days I could put on my boots and in less than three weeks I was free from the confounded itching. Capt. George P.

"I respect you highly, Mr. Hunter, but we are incompatible." "Well, I suppose it cannot be helped," the young man replied, pocketing his chagrin and looking about for his hat. "But it defeats all my cherished hopes. I had planned a house, in which I fondly imagined we might be happy. It was to have had a pantry twice as large as the ordinary size, with a room closest in which to stow away the new cooking utensils and things that a woman naturally buys when a peddler comes around." "Stay, George," she said falteringly, "perhaps I have been too tasty. Give me a day or two to think it over. It is not impossible that—that—" Easy. Once there was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children that at first she didn't know what to do. A friend of the family who happened to come along just then, however, made the following suggestions: To put one of them in a factory. To have a couple more operated on and otherwise fussed over by the doctors. To put a couple of them in a coal mine. To send one to a modern public school. To bring up another on a pure food diet. Which no sooner having been carried into effect than the old woman settled down to a life of ease and lonesomeness—New York Herald. DIDN'T REALIZE Many persons go on drinking coffee year after year without realizing that it is the cause of many obscure but persistent ailments. The drug—caffeine—in coffee and tea, is very like uric acid and is often the cause of rheumatic attacks which, when coffee is used habitually, become a disease. A Washington lady said, recently: "I am sixty-five and have had a good deal of experience with coffee. I consider it very injurious and the cause of many diseases. I am sure it causes decay of teeth in children. "When I drank coffee I had sick spells and still did not realize that coffee could be so harmful, till about a year ago I had rheumatism in my arms and fingers, got so nervous I cried, sleep, and was all run down. "At last I realized that medicines did me no good, I decided quit coffee entirely and try Positum. After using it six months I fully recovered my health beyond all expectations. I am sleep sound and my rheumatism is all gone." "There's a Reason." Name given by, Postum Co. Battie Creek, Mich. Read the famous little book, "The Road to Wrelville," in pksg.

Oregon, in Sept. 1904, for the great Canadian prairies. To quote from his letter: "I was greatly surprised to find such an immense stretch of rich virgin prairie still almost unoccupied in the very heart of North America. The splendid crops of oats, wheat, barley, potatoes and hay I beheld in the settlements made me very eager for a piece of this rich soil, and I soon located in the Goose Lake country. We have here a great stretch of the rich, fertile prairie of the Saskatchewan, a soil heavy and hard to break, but particularly well adapted for the retention of moisture and production of the bright No. 1 hard wheat, and great crops of oats, barley, flax and potatoes. I had 60 bushels of oats, weighing 441 lb. to the bushel, per acre. Some of my neighbors had still greater yields. Wheat yielded from 20 to 30 bushels per acre. We have all done well here, and I could name many Americans who came here with means to go ahead, who have done big already. For homesites one has to go further west, but the best prairie to go ahead here from the farm to $16.00 per acre. The climate is dry and healthy. This is the regular Saskatchewan fall weather—frosty nights, and bright, sunny days—ideal for threshing and hauling out of wheat. The trails are dusty, as thousands of wheat teams are moving towards the elevators. "The sight of it makes one stop and wonder what it will be in a few years when the immense prairies get under cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the exception here. Heavy snowfall is the exception here. Snow generally falls in December and goes off in March. It sometimes gets very cold, but the Saskatchewan farmer does not fear the cold. Winter is his season of winter, so the second crop he builds a comfortable barn for himself, and warm stables for his horses. He need not, like some, be poking about in the mud all winter attending a few beasts for a livelihood." INSTRUCTED. Doctor—What are you doing in that tub? You'll catch your death.

A. PISO'S CURE IS INCOMPARABLE BULK SALES BILL FINALLY PABS ED BY THE IOWA SENATE. Des Moines.-By a vote of 29 to 12 the Iowa senate passed the De Wolf bulk sales bill after a substitute ordered by the author for the original had been amended. The discussion of the measure occupied almost all of the morning. The substitute offered by Senator De Wolf eliminated the former bill which would have compelled a dealer to notify all of his creditors five days previous to making a sale of his stock of goods or any part of the stock, in bulk, except in the general course of trade. Had Some Opposition. Have Some Opposition. Opposition developed to this measure on the part of Senators Francis and Adams, and the latter declared that all bills will be passed without a general merchant from disposing of his line of boots and shoes or his stock of tobacco, or any particular line he might decide to quit carrying as a part of his general stock. Senator Balkema, who is a merchant, took the same view and opposed the bill on that ground. The senate adopted an amendment by Senator Adams by which the reference to any part of a merchant's stock is omitted from the bill, and as it was adopted the measure provides that five days' notice must be given of the sale of a stock of goods in bulk. The substitute eliminates also the necessity of modifying each measure that a bill of sale shall be filed of record by the transferrer and shall remain on file for five days before the money concerned in the sale changes hands. Saloon Bills Passed by Senate. Defining the duties of county attorneys. Defining the duties of the attorney general. Providing for the removal of officers for neglect of duty. Prohibiting the sale of liquors and narcotics to inebriates or former inmates of institutions for the cure of liquor or drug habits. Providing for numbered reports of sales of liquors by druggists, and for returns by each dealer to the county auditor. Prohibiting the drinking of liquors on trains or street cars. Prohibiting the establishing of a saloon within three hundred feet of a public library. Prohibiting saloon keepers from serving lunches. Limiting the number of saloons in cities to not more than one for each 1,000 of population. Prohibiting any person convicted of selling liquor unlawfully from engaging in the saloon business within five years after the conviction. Prohibiting breweries from engaging in saloon business. Prohibiting stockholders in brewing companies from signing the bonds of saloon keepers. Pending Passage by Senate. Gilliland bill railing saloon bond from $3,000 to $5,000. Chapman bill to prevent sale of life insurance except on doctor's prescriptions. Gets After Big Corporations. Against opposition from the telegraph and telephone companies the house of representatives passed the Tilton bill extending the time in which an injured party must put in a claim for damages against either to six months instead of sixty days as at present. The bill applies only to cases of error in transmission of a message or to unnecessary delays. Nine "Lifera" Learn Their Fate. The senate pardons committee report, adverse to clemency for nine of the eleven convicts who asked for parole, was adopted by the senate. This leaves but two cases not disposed of. Some of those whose appollition were rejected will probably appeal to the parole board and governor soon. Governor is 49 Years Old. Governor B. F. Carroll is 49 years old. He celebrated the event by working with the executive council in catching up for lost time because of the inauguration. The governor is ar lowen by birth and the 49 years older he have been spent almost entirely in Davis county and Des Moines. Chiropractic Examiners A third bill by Representative Miller, creating a board of chiropractic examiners and recognizing chiropractic doctors was considered and three practitioners of this school were heard. To Honor First Governor, Distinguished by its very simplicity, the story of the life and work of Iowa's first governor, Ansel Briggs, was told to the Iowa senate by Senator Parshall, and the senate voted favorably unanimously upon the Ellis bill, by which the friends of the Briggs family will pay for the removal of the pioneer's remains from Omaha to his old home in Jackson county, Iowa, and for a modest monument to mark his final resting place. Would Restore Circle Representative Klay's bill to restore the circle on the ballot was indored by the committee on elections of the lower house and will be recommended for passage. The vote in the committee was thirteen to seven. Extend Term of Justice. Representative Hunter of Polk county offered a bill extending the terms of justice and constatables in counties with more than 75,000 population from two to four years. Free Teachers from Exams. School teachers will be given relief from frequent examinations by a bill prepared by Senator Adams, and graduates of high schools and colleges are given recognition without examination. Teachers holding first grade certificates and who can give proof of successful teaching for five years shall have their certificates renewed for life. Applicants whose examinations entitle them to a third grade certificate shall receive the same for one year, at the end of which successful teaching shall be sufficient warrant of a renewal for one year. Applicants who have completed four years of a high school course or its equivalent are under this bill entitled to a third grade certificate for one year. Upon proof of successful teaching for that period the applicant may receive a second grade certificate for two years without further examination. Upon proof of this weeks of successful teaching the applicant may receive a first grade certificate for life upon passing the examination in such studies as are required for a first grade certificate and were not included in the requirements for graduation. College graduates may be given a second grade certificate and secure a first grade certificate by the same process outlined for high school graduates. Oregon Plan Killed. Senator Moon held the support of the democratic minority in the senate for his Oregon plan bills. He made a speech for the bills and was followed by Senator De Wolf. Both explained the working of the Oregon law as to the election of United States senators and asked that the senate vote to adopt the same plan in Iowa. On the roll call the Moon bills received just what had been conceded them—the democratic vote. The republicans voted for Senator Peterson's motion to approve the report of the committee on elections recommending Inauguration Day. Senator Smith of Dupont County, Senator White of the Iowa-Johnson county district were the democrats absent, and Senators Smith of Mitchell, Bruce and Seeley were the three republicans not in attendance. This is the first strictly party measure to be voted upon in the Iowa senate during the present legislative session. Organized Labor Wins. Members of organized labor rejoiced when the senate passed the Dowell bill which provides for air brakes on all double truck street cars and gives the companies until January 1, 1912, to finish the equipping of the last one-third of the cars now in service. All cars purchased subsequent to the passage of the bill by the lower house must have air brakes. The bill was introduced at the request of the street car employees' union. Senator Ream introduced another measure that is of interest to organizers of the street car industry, all oil engines on railways shall be equipped with headlights powerful enough to allow the engineer to distinguish objects 1,200 feet in advance of the locomotive. It was referred to the committee on railroads. Control Board Waiting. The members of the board of control and the heads of the state institutions under the management of the board have adopted a waiting game. Though their methods have been criticised by members of the legislature and stories of mismanagement and even of cruelty have been told, they are not disposed to make any untill an official investigation is made and they are officially asked to defend themselves. The head of every state institution under the board is attending the quarterly meetings, but none of these men has a word to say about the legislative investigation. Can't Sell Beer Even if Papa Agrees. The Iowa supreme court gave the liquor laws another new twist, which will add to the troubles of the registered pharmacists. In a Polk county case, that of Sharp against Davis, the defendant resisted an injunction on the ground that in selling liquor to a minor he had the written consent of the boy's father. The court, in a decision by Judge Evans, holds that this is no protection to the permit holder. State Will be Redistricted. The senate has adopted the house bill for a committee to redistrict Iowa as to judges and report a bill within a week, after full and fair investigation of the work done by all the judges in the kill off the bill relating to pay of shorthand reporters. The senate also passed the bill increasing the annual allowance of the state health of health by $3,100, makin g it $,000 a year. Manufacture Serum The Wilson bill providing for the establishment of a laboratory to manufacture hog cholera serum for free use of farmers was passed. It carries an important point is to be located at or near Des Moines in charge of the state veterinarian. Wife Must Also Sign. Men who own property and want to sell it through real estate dealers must secure the consent of their wives if Senator Gilliland's bill receives the same favorable action in the house that was accorded it in the senate. An opponent of the plan for the bill affirms that the wife's judgment in some business affairs is better than that of her husband. He argues also that the bill which provides that the names of bth must be signed to a commission to a real estate agent will promote harmony in the home. Train Phone Prohibited. Telephone stations for operating steam railways are hit in a bill introduced by Representative Hanson of Humboldt county. It requires a telegraph station, and operator in every town where the monthly business equals or exceeds $1,500. Several Iowa cities have such stations, and visions by telephone, and unless the bill is amended it would require telegraph stations and operators at each of the towns along these divisions. The bill was introduced by request. WHAT WIFE SAYS "GOES." But It Sometimes is Bad for the Painting. When a property-owner knows nothing about paint it is bad for the property-owner, and bad for the painter. It would not be so if the property-owner would always hire a skilled painter, and then really leave everything to him. But the house owner so often fools himself on one or the other of these things. The skilled painter in every community has some of the most incompetent competitors that ever vexed a conscientious workman or contractor, and the incompetents get jobs generally by working cheap. In the next place, when the skilled painter is hired, they do not leave everything to him, as so many property-owners boast they do. They intermittently informally and most fatally. They insist sometimes on using paint materials without investigating whether they are good or not. Or perhaps they insist on the painter's hurrying the work. "I'm not going to have that painter's mess around my house a month," the wife says, and what wife says goes—at the cost of a lot of wasted painting money. If the painter stays away a few days to allow the paint to thoroughly dry the owner says: "That painter's neglecting this work—guess he's sidetracking me for Jones' work. I won't sit there. What chance does a painter have to good work for a man who is continually nagging at him and otherwise handicapping him (without meaning it, of course)? A poor job is the inevitable result of such interference. Poor painting costs the houseowner money—don't forget that. It might pay you to get the practical paint book, painting specifications and instrument for detecting paint adulteration. You can offering under the title of House Owner's Painting Outfit No. 49.

The young minister found himself held at arm's length by the surrounding clergy. Mr. M. A. De W, Howe quotes the following item from the old minister's "Memoranda: "An honest but very intelligent farmer of my parish, some ten years ago, accosted me in this manner: "Well, Mr. Bancroft, what do you think the people of the old parish say of me now?" "I answered, 'I hope something good.' "They say, "If we find fault with him he does not mind it at all; and if we praise him he does not mind it. He steps steadily on his own way; we therefore concluded that it is best to let him alone." "The farmer mentioned the fact as a subject of laughter, but I thought, and still think that, taking the declaration in its bearings, it was the prettiest compliment I have received through my whole life."—Youth's Companion. Description of Last Resting Place of Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan, the Mongol chief, in the thirteenth century proved himself one of the world's greatest warriors. His tomb exists at Edchen Kov, and is described in Count de Leudsalia from Pekhak to Kikim. Two small bodies behind the tomb, nected by a very low inner door, made of worn-out felt, and admitting through their rents the rain and the wind, are the 'monuments' destined to perpetuate the renown of the greatest conqueror the world has known. . . . The ashes of the body of Genghis Khan are deposited in a kind of chest, cubic in shape, and placed on a wooden support made of small colored pillars, adorned with paintings on all its sides, except that feeling south, the other with a finely worked copper plate representing a divinity surrounded by four animals which are difficult to identify. . . . The tomb, in fact, has not always been here, but it is difficult to know exactly where the first descendants of the great emperor laid his remains." Give Your Dog More Water Fully one-half of canine misery comes from lack of drinking water. The agony of thirst frays dog temper to the vicious point, and impatient animals are much like cross humanity, ready to reenact an act or look. In tough families leave basins of fresh water, but animals are not many, and they will never do as much good as running water in places where it can be reached at will. Dog lovers are many, but they do not always give due attention to their kindness and affection. Let us make a New Year's response to this. Give a fish a few sensible preventives of mad dog scares, chief of which is plenty of fresh water for all animals. Where They Came From. It is surprising from whence came the most common articles of food. The onion, the leek, garlic and pea were favorites in Egypt; rye and parsley in Siberia; the citron and currants in Greece, and radishes hall from China and Japan. The horsechestnut is a native of Thibet, "The Forbidden Land;" and the mulberry tree, walnut and peach traveled westward from Persia. Very much like oats, originated in North Africa at a time when Egypt was the granary of the world. The chestnut came from Italy, oleroy from Germany, spinach from Arabia, the sunflower from Peru and cucumbers from India. Tobacco is a native of Virginia. Between Two Thorns Rosebaum had a store between Smith's and Brown's, and all three sold clothing except Rosebaum, who only tried to. Smith and Brown were often hilarious together over their neighbor's lack of business ability. After the three stores had been visited by a very cautious fire, Smith and Brown covered the fronts of their stores with flaming signs announcing the fire sale; but to their horror everybody went to Rosebaum's. Not until their unbusinesslike neighbor had sold everything but the gas meter did they discover his large sign, "Main Entrance." — Success Maga Cockroach Remedy A COOKEEKER who was recommended to try countermatch peeings as a remedy for cockroaches strewed the floor with pieces of the peel not very thin and watched the sequel, says a teacher in Suburban Life.

Ableist Ukes or Bloodhounds. Although the use of bloodhounds for劫持 and criminal still survives, another and ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out. Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the forces with which the carl of Essay suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, for instance, being accompanied by 800 dogs. In the Scottish clan feuds and the wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have baffed his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving the corpse for the hunt to find, and then adopting the less skilled plan of wading some distance down a stream and ascending a tree which overhung the water.

MAINE GHOST ON HORSEBACK. Peculiar Spook That Has Struck Tenor to Farmer Folk. The horseback riding ghost is the very latest variety that has appeared in Bowdowell, and he is a particular spirit, making visitations only at certain times. The hunter's ghost, they call him and the big man on the big white horse who comes galloping down the Lisbon road on the full o' the moon right up to the side door of Sunny Great farm strikes terror to the heart of the farmer folk as he raps smartly with his riding whip on the panels of the door. Whenever one appears in answer to the knock the ghost, so they tell the story, wheels round and disappears at a gallop, turning into the old woods road much used in revolutionary times by the soldiers of that storm period. Ghost of the old Cap's, they call him, connecting this horseback riding spook with a certain officer of unassay farm who once haunted the district of Maine.

All True, Though at First They Seem to Read Rather Odd. Peace we secure by armaments, liberty by laws and constitutions, simplicity and naturalness are the consummate result of artificial breeding and training; health, strength and wealth are increased only by laviship use, expense and weakness. On our well-tailored system of credit; our tolerance of revolutionary utterances is the only way of lessening their danger; our charity has to say no to beggars in order not to defeat its own desires; the true epicurean has to observe great sobriety; the way to certain lies through radical doubt; virtue signifies not innocence but the knowledge of sin and its overcoming. The ethical and religious life are full of contradictions held in solution. You hate your enemy; you fire on his head; you coals on his head; you reshape your self, to save your soul, first lose it; in short die to live.—Prof. William James, in Hilbert Journal. Good Cough Medicine for Children. The season for coughs and colds is now at home and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Bipley, W. V.a., says: "I have never used anything other than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my children, and it has always given good satisfaction." This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult. For sale by all druggists. ORIGINAL NOTICE.

DUDLEY & COFFIN, Attorneys for Plaintiff. Blindness. "There are various degrees and kinds of blindness, widow. There is the connubial blindness, ma'am, which perhaps you may have observed in the course of your own experience, and which is a kind of wilful and self-damaging blindness. There is the blindness of party, man, and child. There is the blindness of a mind built in the midst of a regiment of soldiers clothed in red. There is the blind confidence of youth, which is the blindness of young kittens, whose eyes have not yet opened on the world."—Charles Dickens. Buried in the heart of a civilized, powerful and progressive foreign people, a little handful of Indians have lived for 300 years and have contrived to keep during all that time their national characteristics, their traditions and their individuality. If you seek them you will find them in Amatlan so you receive villages in the Amatec Cruz, Mexico. They are the Amatecas. The Amatecas are perhaps the only people in the republic who have succeeded in retaining for 'themselves what is practically self-government. Willing to Oblige.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that the name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs. A. M. PORE.
