Analysis of Medicines Open to All.
"There is no public demand and
there is not the slightest public nec-
essity for a law compelling the publi-
cation of the formula of proprietary
medicines," says the Committee on
Legislation of the Proprietary Asso-
ciation. "Every Health Commissioner
and every Pure Food Commissioner
in the country, as well as every pri-
vate physician or chemist, if he
pleases, has the right to make an
analysis of any proprietary medicine
and to publish the result and to tell
the public what he thinks, and there
Is nothing in the world to prevent
such action. But that is not what the
agitators for such legislation want.
Their object is to destroy >Jie sale of
such remedies entirely."
A BASE SLANDER REFUTED
Southerners "Fill 'Em Up" Because
Their Glasses Are Small
"You all up north here have an
idea that we all down south drink a
whole lot of whisky, but we don't,"
'emarked a Georgian in a Broadway
cafe the other day. "I'll admit that
vhen I'm in New York I drink more
than I do in Atlanta, but that's be-
cause of the size of the glasses they
give you to drink from. With us the
glasses are about half the size of the
ones you get here, and we pour them
nearly full. From force of habit I
pretty nearly fill a New York glass
every time I take a drink; conse-
nuently here I drink twice as much
as I do at home."—New York Sun.
Test Its Value.
Simmons' Liver Purifier is tho
most valuable remedy I ever tried for
constipation and disordered Liver. It
does its work thoroughly, but does
not gripe like most remedies of its
character. I certainly recommend it

MAKING RUBIES FOR A DIME
Perfect Gems Turned Out by Two
Seattle Scientists
In a little dark basement at the cor-
ner of Fifth avenue and Jackson
street, two French chemists, with the
assistance of Dr. Horace Byers, pro-
fessor of chemistry at the state uni-
versity, are turning out rubies which
are pronounced as good as are de-
veloped in nature's laboratory, and
at a price averaging ten cents each.
The experiments have been con-
ducted for several weeks, and every
effort has been made to keep the
matter secret.
Some of the gems turned out havo
been examined at the university, and
declared to be genuine.
The place of manufacture is fitted
up with modern appliances for chem
leal analysis.
Until a week ago the chemists
were able to produce a gem perfect
in every respect, except that it lacked
the color of the genuine. It was at
this point that Dr. Byers was called
in.
He took the stone to the university
laboratry and there made an analysis
and discovered the defect. The in-
formation was given to the French-
men and a perfect stone was the re-
sult.—Seattle Times.
CROP REPORT
Bulletin Has Just Been Issued by the
Department
WASHINGTON: The agricultural
department has issued a bulletin on
the "crop export movement," which
says, in part:
'TIih share of cotton, wheat, flour
and corn exported from Atlantic ports
decreased during the twenty-one
fiscal years ended with 1904. while the
percentages ixported from the ports
on the gulf coast increased. The gulf
coast exported 44 per cent of the total
of cotton exports of the United States
during 1884, 1888, and CO per cent in
1905, while the Atlantic seaboard
cities exported 55 per cent in 1884-
1888, and only :i4 per cent in 1905. In
the wheat trade the Atlantic ports de-
clined from 59 per cent during 1884
and 1888 to 20 per cent in 1904, and
the gulf ports increased from 2 per
cent to 55 per cent during the same
time. In 1905 only 6 per cent of the
wheat exported went from Atlantic
and gulf seaports, while the Pacific
coast cities handled 92 per cent. Of
the wheat and flour exported in 1905
tho Atlantic and gulf ports shipped CO
per cent, the Pacific ports 35 per cent
and 5 per rent was exported across
the border into Canada and Mexico."
GUTHRIE MAY BE SUED
Pastor of Carrie Nation's Mission
Kept in Jail Too Long
GUTHRIE: It now develops that
(he city may get into some trouble
after all, owing to the arrest of the
Rev. M. S. Allen, the pastor of the
Carrie Nation Mission church here,
for the reason that Allen, through the
mistake of someone, was incarcer-
ated one day longer than his sentence
called for. He threatens to sue the
city, and will be backed by Mrs. Na-
tion, it is said. It is known that the
city council is viewing the situation
with some alarm. It is said that the
chief of police, John Cates, left town
without notifying his subordinates as
to the expiration of Allen's term in
jail. Allen was arrested and convict-
ed on a charge of disturbing the peace
in a campaign to close an Immoral
show.

COFFEE NEURALGIA.
Leaves When You Quit and Use Pos-
tum,
A lady who unconsciously drifted
into nervous prostration brought on by
coffee, says:
"I have been a coffee drinker all
my life, and used It regularly, threa
times a day.
"A year or two ago I became sub-
ject to nervous neuralgia, attacks of
nervous headache and general ner-
vous prostration which not only in-
capacitated me for doing my house-
work, but frequently made it necea-
sary for me to remain in a dark room
for two or three days at a time.
"I employed several good doctors,
one after the other, but none of them
was able to give me permanent relief.
"Eight months ago a friend sug-
gested that perhaps coffee was the
cause of my troubles and that I try
PoEtum Food Coffee and give up the
old kind. I am glad I took her advice,
for my health has been entirely re-
stored. I have no more neuralgia, nor
have I had one solitary headache in
all these eight months. No more of
my days are wasted in solitary con-
finement in a dark room. I do a*i my
own work with ease. The flesh that
I lost during the years of my nervous
prostration has come back to me
during these months, and I am once
more a happy, healthy woman. I en-
close a list of names of friends who
can vouch for the truth of the state-
ment." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
There's a reason.
Ten dayB' trial leaviifg off coffee

Portents of Birth and Youth of
Empreia Borne Out by After
Life Courane One of Her
Main Virtue*.
The story of the Empress Eugenie's
birth and youth forms an allegorical
synopsis of her whole career. She
was born In a lovely garden, but In
the midst of a terrible earthquake.
Still, tho dramatic character of her
advent had no ill effects upon the
child, who grew to girlhood one of the
healthiest, most robust, and at the
same time, one of tho loveliest crea-
tures upon whom the sun shone. And
then, before she was out of Ihe school-
room she was in love with a man who
pretended to love her, but who In
reality was secretly paying court to
her sister. No sooner was the discov-
ery made than they found the future
empress lying on her couch, apparent-
ly In a death agony. She had taken
poison. By little less than a miracle
her life was saved: and wo all know
tho story of her subsequent career—
how her peerless beauty fascinated
the emperor, and how, ns his wife,
she became the greatest lady In Eu-
rope, the sole dictatress in fashion.
the goddess at whoso shrine all lovers
of the beautiful worshiped. Then the
fatal war, and the horrors of Sedan:
the flower of the French army shatter-
ed >nd disgraced: and, worst agony
of all. her huabard carried a prisoner
to Germany, into which he had fondly
hoped to lead a victorious army.
Paris had cried aloud for war—"A
Berlin! a Berlin!" But now, when
the capital might best have served
the nation and the brave woman at its
head, it turned upon the empress.
"Long live the Republic! Down with
the Spaniard!" they yelled as they
surged round the Tuilerles. They for-
got tho Prussians at their own doors
while they thundered nt. that of poor
Eugenie's asylum. Not for an instant
did she lose courage. "You are hold-
ing my arm," she said to one of the
few ladles left In attendance upon her.
"Do you feel me tremble." "Not in
the least," was the truthful answer.
And the brave woman went forth
alone from the rear of the Tuilerles,
ranged the streets of PariN with only
thirty pence in her pocket, and while
tho mob around the palace sought her
blood, could find none so humane as
to afford her shelter.—The World and

"My little girl had eczema very bad
when she was ten months old. I
thought she would lose her right ear.
It had turned black, and her face was
like a piece of raw meat, and very
sore. It would bleed when I washed
her, and I had to keep cloths on It
day and night. There was not a clear
spot on her face when I began using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and now
it is completely healed, without scar
or blemish, which is more than 1 had
hoped for. (Signed) Mrs. Rose Ether,

Demands of His Stomach Too
Great to Be Resisted Ulti-
mate Recovery Almost More
Than He Deserved.
A man who has just left a hopital
where ho was confined for several
weeks with typhoid fever tells this
story of two other typhoid patients
in tho public ward of the same insti-
tution:
Tho two men occupied adjoining
beds. One was convalescent, while
the other was still battling with the
fever. Naturally, tho physicians kept
all food away from the latter. The
sick man, however, developed a trou-
blesome appetite, ill as he was, and
he protested against not being fed.
He said the institution. In fact, was
starving him. Tile convalescent pa-
tient, all tho time, was receiving light
food. This made the man in the ad-
joining cot all the more insistent that
he be fed. Tho physicians, however,
paid no attention to his complaints.
The patient waited for his opportun-
ity, which finally came.
One day a strange waiter came
around with tho meals. It so hap-
pened that when he went into the ward
the convalescent patient was asleep.
The olher man was wide awake and
lie beckoned the waiter and told him
to lay the food intended for the con-
valescent patient alongside his cot.
The waiter, believing the food was in-
tended for him, did so. The sick man
immedately devoured It. A few min-
utes later the physician on duty en-
tered the ward. He noticed that
something was wrong with the sick
man and upon inquiry learned what
had happened.
"That man will he dead In ten min-
utes, unless we get that food out of
his stomach," he said to the waiter.
The physician summoned assistance,
got a stomach pump and went to work
on the sick man. The patient's only
comment when the operation was all
over was:
"By Jove, It Is bad enough lo be
starved, but when they deliberately
rob you of Ihe food In your stomach
it is terrible."
He eventually recovered, despite his
narrow escape, although he. had a
hard fight.
