It is a settled fact that when the house takes up the appropriation bills a bitter fight will be made against the passage of the item of $215,000 for the completion of the new supreme court building, and it is a difficult matter to venture a prediction as to the result. In the regular session, after a spirted and protracted contest, and after the several members of the commission had pleaded with the appropriations committees of both branches of the assembly, the item passed, with 9 votes to spare. It comes up again because of the fact that it was omitted from the appropriations bill veteted by the governor a few days ago, because of numerous errors—this being one of them—made in its enrollment. The first round in this fight was had Monday night, when a resolution was introduced and adopted, calling upon the attorney general for a written opinion on the following points, after reciting that an appropriation of $183,000 had been made for the new building, which was stipulated should be in full for the completion of the work: 1. Is there any legal obligation on the part of the state to pay any sum in addition to the amount appropriated in 1905 for that purpose, and, if so, how much, and for what purpose? 2. Will it be a violation of the spirit or intent of the law or the constitution to appropriate any sum to pay expenditures in excess of the appropriation of 1905, or for the completion of said building? These are the points on which the opponents of the appropriation rely to defeat it, contending that Gen. Hadley's construction of the constitution must be adverse to the adoption of the item making the appropriation. The deficiency is $215,600.77. Erasures Made in Bill. Little whispers, scarcely audible now, but which will become more pronounced, can be heard about the capitol corridors, and even on the floor of either the house or the senate, of a mutilation or obliteration of records concerning a bill introduced in the house at the regular session by Representative Busch and in the senate by Senator Hudson. The bill provided that county courts must, before submitting to a vote a proposition to build a court house, make known the location of the site. The bill passed the house and it is alleged passed the senate, but did not come back from the senate to the house, and, consequently, was not enrolled. Inquiry as to whether the governor had signed or vetoed the bill disclosed the fact that it had not been enrolled, and then further inquiry was instituted. This developed that the bill itself gives evidence of erasures in the entries made upon it as showing its course, but these entries do not indicate whether the bill was passed or defeated. The entries in the senate docket book in connection with the bill give unmistakable evidence of erasures, and this afternoon the roll call taken upon the bill could not be located. Greene county was more particularly interested in this bill, it is said, than any other county. A court house fight is on down there, and North Springsfield and the old town are arrayed against each other. Should this bill requiring the site to be first selected, have gone through, it would have put the portion of the town which did not get it against the other when the vote on the building was submitted, but with the proposition for the building to be first voted upon and the site to be determined afterwards, each wing of the town is willing to take its chances on getting the building. It is quite likely an inquiry will be made into the matter to ascertain by whom the erasures in the records were made, or whether they are simply clerical errors. D. F. McConkey, elected to the house from Taney county to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Representative Dupuy, was sworn in Monday night. Bilis Introduced. The following bills were introduced Monday night: By Griffith—Requiring corporations organized under the laws of this state to report to the secretary of state their authorized capital, on which they shall pay, in addition to all other taxes, a tax of 25 cents on each $1,000. By Polk—Making fraud in obtaining signatures to dramshop petitions a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or jail imprisonment. By Hill—Fixing the rate for long distance telephone messages within the state at 25 cents for three minutes and not to exceed 3 cents for each additional minute. Folk Signs Bills. The bill establishing the St. Louis court of sessions was signed by the governor. This gives to Circuit Attorney Sager one additional assistant at $3,000 per annum. The general opinion here is that the place will be tendered to Orrick Bishop. Just who urged the signing of the bill upon the governor besides Mr. Sager, who made his second trip here Monday, is not known, but many protests came against it. The bill requiring that persons charged with felony must have a preliminary examination before they can be held signed. PUZZLE FOR POLICE FOURTH ATTEMPT TO DESTROY ENTIRE FAMILY. THE POISON IN OATMEAL PORRIDGE Symptoms Said to Be the Same as Preceded the Death of Father and Mother. Chicago—For the fourth time in less than a month members of the Mette family, 2849 North Harding avenue, partook of poison, and two are now in serious condition. Those who were again poisoned are: Joseph Mette, aged 24. Charles, aged 16. Rudolph, aged 14. Charles and Rudolph were removed to the Swedish Home of Mercy. It is too early to say what will be the outcome of their cases. Joseph had recovered sufficiently to attend his father's funeral. Policemen Schubert and Blanchard of the Irving Park station discovered the last attempt to kill the surviving members of the family. They had been sent to the home to question the brothers. The policemen found the two younger boys in bed, and the older boy lying on a couch brooding. Dr. W. K. Yeakel, family physician, was summoned. He declared the symptoms to be the same as preceded the death of the father and mother. Though complaining of pains, Joseph Mette told the officer that he had prepared some porridge from a package of oat meal, and all had eaten portions of it. They had given some to the cat, which had become sick. THAW JUROR "APPROACHED." Announced That Jerome Had Started an Investigation. New York—It was announced that the district attorney had begun the investigation of a report that one of the jurors in the recent trial of Harry K. Thaw had been "approached" by a policeman before the trial closed. Henry C. Brearley, one of the jurors, had an interview with District Attorney Jerome. Later it was announced that several of the other Thaw jurors would be asked to come to the district attorney's office and tell of anything they knew of the report in question. It was reported that a policeman talked with a juror on one of the walks the jury took from the criminal courts building to the Broadway Central hotel. SUICIDES N KANSAS CITY. Traveling Salesman Drings Carbolic Acid and Dies. Kansas City, Mo.-S. P. Horwitz, of Cincinnati, aged 38 years, committed suicide at the Kupper hotel in this city by drinking carbolic acid. He left a note requesting that Walter Jacobs of this city be notified of his death. Jacobs said that Horwitz had a family in Cincinnati and that his father-in-law, Mannie Baner, is a prominent iron merchant there. Jacobs had known Horwitz intimately since 1903, when Horwitz was a traveling salesman for a liquor company. The cause of the suicide is not known. Statue of Jefferson Davis. Richmond, Va.—The bronze statue of Jefferson Davis for the Davis monument to be unveiled here June 3 was drawn through the streets of the city to the monument site by nearly three thousand children. They drew the statue by means of a double rope three blocks long. The children were led by Lee and Plickett camps of the confederate veterans. The Book of Mormons. Lamoni, Ia.—At the Latter Day Saints' conference, President Joseph Smith stated that the entire original manuscript of the book of Mormon is in a safety deposit vault at Independence, Mo. This announcement was made because of the statement said to have have been made that the Salt Lake City church has the manuscript. Earthquake at Manila Manila—Two severe earthquake shocks were felt here this morning. No damage is reported. High Wind in Florida Jacksonville, Fla.—A severe wind and hall storm struck Jacksonville, doing considerable damage. The tug Annie B capsized and Capt. Sloan was drowned. Numerous small raft in the river were either beached or swamped. Appointed German Minister. Berlin—Count Von Schwerin, former councillor of the German embassy at Vienna, has been appointed German minister to the republics of Central American. Miss Rockefeller Married New York—Miss Ethel Geraldine Rockefeller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Rockefeller, and Marcellus Hartley Dodge were married at the home of the bride's parents on Fifth avenue. Land Fraud to the Jury. Omaha, Neb. — The case of Thomas M. Huntington, Fred Hoyt and Ani B. Todd, charged with conspiracy to defraud the government by means of illegal land entries, was given to the jury. ILL FROM OVERWORK NERVOUS PROSTRATION CURED BY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. By Toning up the Blood and Nerves Patient Resilience Strength and Good Spirits When the nervous system is broken down from overwork, or whatever cause, life loses its joys. Not only is the nervous victim a sufferer himself but he is usually a trial to the whole family. Nervous breakdown is often gradual, appearing at first to be merely an unusual fretfulness. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills tone up the nerves in the most direct way and not only cure minor troubles but serious disorders as well. Mr. W. W. Munroe, of 16 Hazel Park, Everett, Mass., says: "About four years ago this September I became all run down from overwork and from confinement to work during warm weather. For two months I grew steadily worse. I lost in weight and strength and had no appetite. My memory failed me quite rapidly and I became in a very low state, both physically and mentally. I took no interest in life, neither in business nor recreation. In my position, as foreman in a large manufacturing chemist's establishment in Boston, my memory is absolutely essential to success because of the immense amount of detail that must be carried in the head. "I grew very despairing, could not bear to have people meet me and my friends remarked on my condition. About the middle of December a friend told me one day that he had tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and found them reliable. I commenced taking them and at the end of two weeks the change for the better was remarked by friends. I continued using the pills until I was thoroughly recovered. I regard them as a fine remedy and make this statement voluntarily in gratitude for the benefit I received from them." These pills actually make new blood and have cured such diseases as rheumatism, nervons and general debility, indigestion, nervous headache, neurologia and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. As a tonic for the blood and nerves they are unequalled. If you are a sufferer from any disorder of the blood and nerves write for proof of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have accomplished in cases similar to yours. Every testimonial used by this company is carefully investigated before being published and is authentic. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or direct by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenected, N. Y. A queer comedy of cheating is now causing much amusement in Paris. A laborer named Bedasne, living at Ymonville, in the Eure et Loir, went to Melun with two pounds in his pocket. Having spent this in liquor, he conceived the idea of getting on to Paris for nothing. Finding an empty third-class compartment, he fastened a flannel belt round his neck, stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth, pitched his empty purse onto the opposite seat and, lying down, first had a sleep and then, when Paris was reached, refused to give any sign of life till the alarmed station staff poured a cordial into his mouth. Then he was taken to a hospital, where he told a story of being attacked by three men, but police questions becoming too difficult, he at last related his stratagem, and was hailed from his sick bed to prison.—London Globe.

FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT VOID, SAYS SENATE, Florida Body Adopts Joint Resolution Disfranchising Negro—To Su- preme Court. Tallahasse, Fla., April 18.—The sen- ate, by a yote of 22 to 5, has adopted a joint resolution to declare the four- teenth and fifteenth amendments to the federal constitution void, and to disfranchise the negro in Florida. The resolution was introduced by Senator John S. Beard, of Pensacola, who de- clared that the amendments were ir- regularly adopted and hence illegal. Senator Beard declared that he. be- lieved the supreme court of the Cnited States would uphold the action of this state in disfranchising the negroes. The house is overwhelmingly for the resolution, and the question of the legality of the amendments in question will thus get before the United States supreme court. Notice.

A permanent orchestra and grand chorus, organized and led by a skilled musician, will be among the artistic features of the exposition season. ‘The musical exhibit, which will be quite an elaborate collection 02 the productions, vocal and instrvmental, of the colored composers of the coun- try, has been placed in charge of Mr. Clarence Cameron, white, the eminent violinist of Washington, D.C. Musica! instruments made by Negroes wili he displayed, and frequent recitals, using the composition of Negroes exclusively, will be given. Newport News is a pretty little city, and its people are hospitable to the last degree. It is a close proximity to the exposition grounds, and many will doubtless make it the base of their operations during their sojourn in the tidewater section, The ferry company has agreed to furnish clean, comferta- ble boats on which there will be no discrimination between colored and white passengers. The trip aos Hampton Hoads is a delightful one. | The amusement Sones e 2en granted to Wetmore & Jacksomand on a given number of evenings of each ‘week, the “topnotch” dramatie, lyric, and comedy specialists of the race will be presented under their direction. Mr. Wetmore’s extensive acquaintance with the “stars” of the theatric! fir- mament, and acknowledged taste as a purveyor of entertainments that appeal to refined audiences, are assurances that there will be no dearth of 2njoya- ple attractions in the magnificent au- ditorium of the Negro building.

Don’t you know in the course of time, ‘that money must be paid. Two ihou- sand dollars will be raised on the Fourth Sunday I'm sure, and in the bank the money willbe laid. _ The lines above represent or present the facts as they are at the church, hence, it is hoped that every member will do his or her very best to raise the two thousand dollars to pay on the main debt, which will reduce it down to $10,000 and at the same time save a nice little sum which wonld have been paid out on interest. | The Corinthian club will have their financial rally Sunday morning, after which will serve free dinner, hence it is hoped that all of the members wiil turn out and contribute liberally to this club, as it is for the benefit of the church, Miss Georgia G.

What the Negro Must Do. ‘The time has passed when the Ne- gro can sit silently and ask for that which he has not assisted in getting. When we become a part of the great bulwark in politics, then we will be felt. Our first duty is to prepare for the battle which will be fought in 1908 in the states of Missouri, Illi- nois, Indiana and Ohio. ‘These are the states in which the Negro is the pivot, and we must prepare to do effec- tual work. These states must be to- gether more so with the Negro. Mis- souri with her 60,000 Negro votes must becast to the interest of the Negro. Two years ago the state was carried by the Republicans, and that by the aid of the 60,000 Negro votes. We must be able to handle that vote in 1908. Watch the Palladium until November, 1908.

He will fill his pulpit at Providence Baptist church Sunday, April 21. POLITICAL POINTERS. When Negro votes put white men in office, then they should get some of the offices. No Negro can be considered unless they find favor in the eyes of the city central committee. Many a candidate thinks himself a "Clay," only to discover after the election that his name is "mud." What the Negro wants is a committee of three on the committee of two hundred on the central committee. If the Negroes are to give their votes, why are they not to be considered in the making up of the Republican ticket this spring? It does not matter what service the Negroes will render in any election, they must find that same favor in the central committee or its chairman. They want three in the marriage license department, two in the license department, one in the registry department and three in the circuit clerk's office. In a political race almost any politician is satisfied if he only succeeds in getting a place; but in St. Louis all the committee or their brothers must be supplied. I wish to announce to my patrons that I am the sole owner of the Photo Studio, formerly owned by Sexton & Maxwell, and I heartily solicit the continuance of your patronage. I have no interest in any other photo studio. W. C. MAXWELL, 1407 Market St., St. Louis. Guidlng Star Council No.1000 A. U.

Team Parlor Confectionery JOSEPH SOLD BY HIS BROTHERS Sunday School Lesson for April 21. 1907 LESSON TEXT—Gen. 37:5-28; memory verses. 25-28. GOLDEN TEXT.—"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work."—Jas. 3:16. TIME.—If Jacob remained in Padanaram 40 years, Joseph's capture would be about B. C. 1729, 11 years after Jacob's return. PLACE.—Hebron, the home of Isaac and Jacob, 20 miles south of Jerusalem, Shechem, in Samaria, 50 miles north of Hebron. Dothan, 12 miles north of Shechem. SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES—Study some of the points of comparison between Joseph and Christ: John 5:83; 8:45; 10:17; 1:11; Matt. 21:37-42; 20:19; 27:18; 28:38; Isa. 52:12; Matt. 26:14-16. The Father's Partiality—Gen. 37:3. After his reconciliation with Esau, Jacob moved on alone, with his family. He finally settled in Hebron, south of Jerusalem, where Isaac died at the age of 180. On the journey thither Rachel, the beloved, passed away in giving birth to Benjamin, and the cloud of that grief never lifted from Jacob's life. But another heavy grief was added, a family torn by dissension, the hatred of Joseph's brothers toward that best-loved son, Joseph, from this point, occupies the center of the stage. Joseph, whose name means "May God add," was born in Padan-aram 17 years before the time of this lesson. He was Rachel's eldest son, and inherited from her a beauty of face, of manner, and of character which had the profoundest influence upon his fortunes. At the same time, from his father Jacob and his grandmother Rebekah the lad inherited quickness of intellect, readiness to grasp advantages, the marked ability to get on in the world. But the feature of Joseph's boyhood that had the strongest influence upon his future was his father's manifest partiality for him. Joseph "was the son of his old age," born when Jacob was over 90. The Brothers' Hatred.—Gen. 37:4. "Joseph's coat of many colors was like to have been a winding sheet."—Whyte. "It should be borne in ming that Jacob was a polygamist, and that his children were by different mothers, who, although living under the same roof, and thus compelled to maintain a semblance of harmony, must have often come into collision through their over-anxiety to promote the interests of their own offspring."—Principal Rowlands. One of the many sad evils of polygamy is the family jealousy that it causes. The Young Reformer—Gen. 27:2. As Joseph was the youngest son, it was his duty to wait upon his brothers, and especially upon the sons of Bilhah, his mother's handmaid, with whom he would naturally be brought up. While he was in the field with them and with the sons of Zilpah they did something so wrong that he was obliged to tell his father; and thus his brothers became still more embittered against him. "If there was a deep sympathy between Joseph and his father, it would have been impossible for him to keep back anything in which he was deeply interested."—Blakie. Some commentators think that Joseph was made an overseer on these brothers, and was thus obliged to report their misconduct. When to Report Wrong-Doing—Tale-bearing is reporting the wrong deeds of others in a censorious, self-righteous way, taking pleasure in them, or wishing to injure the wrong-doers, or in a careless and gossiping fashion. Joseph's life shows that he was too manly to do such a thing. The Prophetic Dreams.—Vas. 5-11. Joseph's life, beyond all other lives in the Bible, even Jacob's and Daniel's, was bound up with dreams. His work in Egypt proved that he was practical and wide awake. To men of that very character—for instance, Paul—God has often disclosed the future in visions. The Use of Dreams.—"Joseph's two dreams were evidently intended to be signs of the steadfastness of the divine purpose towards him, by possessing the clearness of special prophecy; yet were couched in such imagery as not to inform him prematurely of his destiny, and only to be understood after their fulfilment."—Ruskin, in Stones of Venice. The Lad at Work.—Vs. 12-17. Joseph, though his father's favorite, was not a spoiled home pet, but he was trusted with important commissions, thrust out upon his own resources, put to work. "That is best for any boy. The Murderous Plot.—Vs. 18:22. V. 18. "And when they saw him afar off." As Joseph descended the ridge which bounds the Plain of Dothan on the south (Harper), his figure would stand out against the sky-line, and would be marked by the keen eyes of the shepherds. "They conspired against him to slay him." Evil thoughts in the heart take the first opportunity to get themselves in action. The Sorrowful Father.—Gen. 37:23-36. Reuben was not present during this sale of Joseph. When he learned what had been done his grief was truest. The artifice by which the brothers successfully sought to deceive their father as to the cause of Joseph's nonappearance was just such a trick as Jacob himself had played on his father in the matter of the birthright. It was completely successful, and the tretched men were compelled to witness for years the heavy sorrow of the bereaved parent. That sight must have touched their savage natures. Attributes Her Excellent Health to Peru-na. THE WEEKLY PRESS MRS. W. H. SIMMONS, MRS. W. H. SIMMONS, 1119 E. 8th St., Kansas City, Mo., member of the National Annuity Association, writes: "My health was excellent until about a year ago, when I had a complete collapse from overdoing social, not getting the proper rest, and too many late suppliers. My stomach was in a dreadful condition, and my nerves all un- strung. "I was advised by a friend to try Peruna, and eventually I bought a bottle. I took it and then another, and kept using it for three months. "At the end of that time my health was restored, my nerves no longer troubled me, and I felt myself once more and able to assume my social position. I certainly feel that Peruna is deserving of praise." There are many reasons why society women break down, why their nervous systems fail, why they have systemic or pelvic catarr. Indeed, they are especially liable to these ailments. No wonder they require the protection of Peruna. It is their shield and safeguard. Old Wall Street Character Dead Van Schaick & Co., one of the oldest stock brokerage houses in New York, have just lost their oldest and most famous customer. Almost up to the time of his death a few days ago, he would drop in occasionally to ask Mr. Gorham, Derby Carrall or Col. Handy how the market was going. He kept in touch with the market notwithstanding his great age—95. Russell Sage was one of his chums, and he used to make all manner of fun of the miser, who was nearly six years his junior, patting him on the back and calling him "kid," "little boy," etc. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery-Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. Encourage Saving. The wise father and mother will never discourage the fancies of their children for accumulating things. It is a natural instinct, inborn in the most of people, and given a little thought and care by the older heads may be turned to good account. If the child begins to collect "pretty" pebbles or shells at the seashore don't throw them out—but let them form the basis of a little geological collection, and with proper guidance the youngster will soon be looking upon "sticks and stones" with an interested and educated eye. With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron.

Price 23c and 50c ```markdown ``` How a Veteran Was Saved the Ampu- tation of a Limb. B. Frank Doremus, veteran, of Roosevelt avenue, Indianapolis, Ind. says: "I had been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from the time I was mustered out of the army, but in all my life I never suffered as in 1897. Headaches, dizziness and sleeplessness, first, and then dropsy. I was weak and 'helpless, having M. B. B. run down from 180 to 125 pounds. I was having terrible pain in the kidneys, and the secretions passed almost involuntarily. My left leg swelled until it was 34 inches around, and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it, and then he advised amputation. I refused, and began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The swelling subsided gradually, the urine became natural, and all my pains and aches disappeared. I have been well now for nine years since using Doan's Kidney Pills. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. A $40,000 TREASURY ROBBERY. Clever Work of Detective Revealed the Thief. The robbery of the sub-treasury in Chicago recalls the fact that the treasury department in Washington was the victim of a $40,000 theft about 30 years ago. At first, although no reasonable explanation of how the thing could have been done by an outsider could be given, it was assumed that it was the work of some one unconnected with the office in which the robbery occurred. It was not long, however, before a clever detective became acquainted with the fact that one of the clerks who might have had access to the bundle of bills was acquainted with a professional gambler of shady antecedents. That discovery solved the problem. A little patient watching resulted in catching the gambler with the stolen notes, and the rest was easy. The clerk was arrested, and, while in confinement, was given to understand that he was betrayed, whereupon he confessed the robbery, which was accomplished by shoving the package of notes, all of large denominations, into a position where they could be "snaked up" with a cane provided with a hook. BABY WASTED TO SKELETON. In Torments with Terrible Sorres on Face and Body—Tore at Flesh —Cured by Cuticura. "My little son, when about a year and a half old began to have sores come out on his face. They began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton and was hardly able to walk. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since, and only for the Cuticura Remedies my precious child would have died from these terrible sores. I used only one cake of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, R. F. D. No. 1, Woodville, Conn., April 22, 1905." Maine Woman Has Pet Deer. Maine Woman Has to Bee Mrs. Nellie Smith, of Sebec, Me., has a tame deer which is nearly two years old now, but which she has raised like a cosset bird, feeding it from a bottle at first and making a great pet of it. It was given to her by a lumberman, who overtook it in the deep snow and caught it in his arms when it was no larger than a cat, except for its legs. It has always been perfectly tame and domesticated, never having known anything of the wild life of its kind, but runs about the premisses unrestrained, having its place in the stable on cold nights. The deer are numerous around Sebec, and it is a question whether, as Mrs. Smith's pet grows older, it will not answer to the "call of the wild" and join its comrades in the forest. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. True to the Sex. On swept the amazons. Suddenly the long line of female warriors halted on the brink of battle. "What are they waiting for?" asked the war correspondent. "Powder!" replied the commander inconically. "Ah, they are about to put some powder in their guns?" "No; they are about to put some powder on their noses. Just because they are warriors is no reason why they should be any different from other women." And then there was a moving-picture scene of animated puffs and flashing hand mirrors. The General Condemnation of So-Called Patent or Secret Medicines of an injurious character, which indulge in extravagant and unfounded pretensions to cure all manner of ills, and the Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of Known Excellence and Quality and of Known Component Parts. To gain the full confidence of the Well-Informed of the world and the approval of the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The perfect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company's original method of manufacture, known to the Company only. There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C., the remedy is not adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. The Way in Which a Swan River Farmer Became Wealthy. Swan River, Manitoba, Nov. 21. 1906. Two weeks ago we gave an account of the prosperity of a farmer in Western Canada, and this week we reproduce another. "I have been asked regarding this year's work on my farm, and I here-with willingly submit the following statement: "Three years ago I purchased an improved farm of 186 acres on Section 9, Township 36, Range 27 west of the First Meridian—two miles from the town of Swan River.

The man followed the advice and was cured, but the habit of asking for food had become so fixed with him that once he was nearly locked up as a lunatic. He was stopping at a hotel and, hearing a great commotion in the room next to his, he peeped over the transom to see what the matter was.

Easily Prepared at Home and Harm: less to Use. This is known as “Blood-Cleaning Time,” especially among the older folks, who always take something dur- ing this month to clean the blood of impurities and build it up. The following is the recipe as given by a well-known authority, and any- one can prepare it at home: Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces. Get these simple ingredients from any good piarmacy and mix by shak- ing well in s bottle. The dose is one teaspoonful after meals and at bed- time. Everybody shou'd take something to help the blood, which becomes impoy- erished and almost sour after the win- ter season, especially those who are subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid. hey and Biadder trouble, It is said that one week's use of this mixture will clear the skin of sores, pimples or boils.

Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian, while in New Orleans a few months ago, took the opportunity of going to the races. During the afternoon he cashed several tickets, the result of good guesses. He was feeling happy after the last race, and started for the automobile which was to convey him back to his hotel. As he was about to climb into the machine he felt a hand on his arm, and a man shouted in his ear: “Hello, Hitchcock, how are you? Hear you put a crimp in the bookies so-day.” Hitchcock blushed and shook hands sheepishly, not recognizing the man, and not wishing to show it. “Say, I want to speak to you con- fidentially,” said the stranger. “All right; what is it?” asked the comedian. “Well, I am up against some hard luck to-day. They cleaned me and I want to get home. Now, don't let any one of these people see you, but slip me enough for car fare, will you?” “Sure,” said Hitchcock, placing his and in his pocket. Then he paused and queried: “Where do you live?” “Vancouver,” was the answer. Hitchcock took a flying leap for his machine, and? unless the visitors at New Orleans are more gullible, the impecunious one is still looking for car fare—Harper’s Weekly. Success spells failure for some and failure spells success for others, aa i ae ae The Land Made Famous by Philpotts’ Novels. Philpotts has made us familiar with romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating novels, “The River,” “Children of the Mist,” ete. The characters are very human; the people there drink coffee with the same resiilts as elsewhere. A writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill, Bideford, North Devon, states: “For 30 years I drank coffee for breakfast and dianer but some 5 years ago I found that it was producing indi- gestion and heart-burn, and was mak- ing me sestless at night. These symp- toms wére followed by brain fag and a sluggish mental condition. “Whea I realized this, I made up my mind to quit drinking coffee and having read of Postum, I concluded to try it. I had it carefully made, accord- ing to directions, and found to my agreeable surprise at the end of a week, that I no longer suffered from either indigestion, heart-burn, or brain fag, and that I could drink it at night and secure restful and refreshing sleep. “ince that time we have entirely discontinued the use of the old kind of coffee, growing fonder and fonder of Postum as time goes on. My digestive organs certainly do their work much better now than before, a result due to Postum Food Coffee, I am satisfied. “As a table beverage we find (for all the members of my family use it) that when properly made it is most refresh- ing and agreeable, of delicious flavor and aroma. Vigilance is, however, aecegsary to secure this, for unless the aervants are watched they are likely to neglect the thorough boiling which tt must have in order to extract the goodness from the cereal.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
