Drs. J. j. & w. H, Tobin:
Dear Sirs-Your HepatoZone has
had a rather extended trial in this in
stitution, among officers and pupils;
it has proven safe and certain rene
dy in affections of the liver. 1t is
also a valuable and cheap aperient.
1t removes constipation of the bowels,
relieves indigestion, and can be taken
at any time without any bad effect.
l cheerfully recommend its use in all
cases involving arrangement of the
functions of the liver, and in many
cases where the stomach and bowels
are involved. Truly yours,
JOHN FORD. Supt.

A Crucial Test.

The severe chemical tests to which
the various baking powders have from
time to time been placed have
demonstrated clearly to the pnblic
the relative merits of the different
brands from an analytical point of
view For intance, DR.. Love, the
eminent government chemist, in his
analysis, made the comparative
strength as follows:
Cubic Inches
Gas evolved.
"Royal'' Cream of tartar POWDER. -. 127.O4
Charm (alum powder) ............ 1853
"snow Flakes" (Groff'sj. ............... 1O1.sS
sc. E. Andrews s Co s" (alum powder) 1917
The Royal Baking Powder was
found, besides being of absolute
purity, TO evolve the highest amount
of leavening gas of any of the pow
ders tested, and hence it was placed
at the head of the list and recon-
mended for government use.
But the crucial test of the kitchen
is, after all, the most satisfactory to
the housekeeper. A baking powder
that never fails to make light, sweet,
wholesome and palatable bread, bis
cult, cake, ETC., upon all occasions, is
the one that will be placed at the
head of the list by the practical house
wife, and received into the kitchen
for continuous use. This test the
Royal Baking Powder has stood for
over twenty years without a single
failure, and hence its reputation as
the best baking powder made has
spread from house to house, until its
use has become as universal as its
merits are unrivaled.

Prison Discipline in Montenegro.

lAAhoANS o@AelSo6liS'J
In the principal street, that which
you enter in coming from Cattaro, you
find on the right hand, first, the pow
der magazine, an Notwithstanding
square building; second, the prison.
At first sight you suspect your guide
is imposing on you. The prison has
no windows and the door is a perma-
nent aperture, without means of
closing it. The prison system is as
odd as the prison. A malefactor is
ordered to lodge himself in the abode
OF culprits, and he goes there. He
has no special guards-the community
watches over him. He receives no
food, but the government gives him
three half-pence day to purchase all
necessaries. Under the circumstances
it CAN be imagined that unless sue
cored by his family he can scarcely live
luXuriously. Unaccompanied by any
guard the prisoners go daily to water
the princes garden and take his
horses out for exercise. They gallop
about for couple of hours, and then,
having put the beasts in their
stables, return to their uncom-
Portable quarters. A condemned per-
son does not on that account by any
means forfeit his claims to public con-
fidence. One example will suffice. A
short time before the declaration of
war commercial house in Trieste
notified the prince that a cargo of am
munition had arrived at Cattaro, but
could not be delivered until it's price,
10000 francs, had been paid. The
steamer should leave in three hours
after the receipt of the dispatch, and,
under ordinary circumstances, six
hours at least are required for the
journey to Cattaro. Unless redeemed
at the time there would be a delay of
many days in delivering the cargo.
The authorities bethought them
selves of a heinouS criminal, an indi-
vidual with chained ankles, and who,
for the crime of murder. was under
going an exceptional punishment. In
order to prove an alibi, he had travers-
ed an extraordinary distance after his
crime, and in an incredibly short time.
The idea struck the authorities that
this man might be useful under the
circumstances. Among these noun
tains man on foot moves much more
quickly than on horseback.
"Can you carry those 10000 francs
to Cattaro in three hours ?" was asked
the man.
Certainly" he replied.
He started; the sum was duly de-
livered, and having brought back the
receipt, the man returned to his I'M
barred bison. In another country it
IS more than probable that under the
circumstances the prisoner and the
money both would have disappeared.
But in Montenegro the case is diff
ferent. Love of country is the pre-
dominant passion, albeit that the
cauntry is not worth much. 1t is so
small the criminal cannot hope to es-
cape detection; and he cannot endure
the idea of perpetual ostracism.
Sometimes the Montenegro goes
abroad for five or six years, but it is
only that he may return later on to
display his splendid wardrobe, the
fruit of his tolls in foreign countries
in Albania. in Herzegovina, even in
Austria.

1t has been suggested by DR.. II.
Macaulay, of Belfast, that MouchoG's
solar engine which has been already
exhibited in Paris in the act of driv-
ing printing press. can be utilized
for pumping cold air into factories
and houses in the tropics. "There
is nothing impossible about the sug-
gestion," says the London Echo, "and
some of us may live to see the time
when the tropical heat of the sun
will be utilized to do the work of the
factory, and cool the shops and the
dwellings by currents of air which
have become actually cold by the
work they have DONE"

Your "Hepatozone" as a gentle

tient feel sick, weak or languid. 1t
is often the case that we feel little
bilious, have some headache perhaps,
and are feeling unwell generally, and

John p. Clarke, Jr., convicted of
the theft of horse, for which offence
he was tried in the district court of
Ell Paso county, and sentenced at the
April term to five years, was pardon
ed Thursday by the governor. In
granting the pardon the governor
thus explains: This boy was but fif-
teen years old when he committed the
act for which he was sent to the pen
itentiary. The facts conclusivcly
show that the horse was voluntarily
returned before prosecution began,
and his pardon is asked by the jury
VINO tried him, this recommendation
being embraced in the verdict. His
pardon is also asked by the county
officials and great many citizens,
and for all these reasons, and especial
ly because the property was returned,
a pardon is granted to him, on con-
dition that it is to be revoked on his
first violation of the criminal law of
the state.

Dr. Tobin:
Dear Sir-You will remember that
some time ago l remarked to you that
1 suffered from an uneasy, painful
feeling in my right side, caused by a
congested condition of the liver,
which prevented me from riding on
horseback and engaging in violent
exercise of any kind. You then told
me that you had suffered from a smi-
lar affection of the liver, and had
cured yourself by using certain medi-
cinal herbs which you had discovered
and urged me to try them. 1 did so
and am now well. These medicinal
herbs in conjunction with salines you
have since presented to the public
under the name of "Tobin's Hepato-
zone" In doing so you have con-
ferred a great boon on people living
in a hot, semi-tropical climate like
ours, where diseases of the liver are
so prevalent. 1t is the daily eXpe-
rience of every physician to find peo-
pie running their constitutions by the
excessive use of strong mercu-
rial purgatiyes. A still larger
uuulU0r COuSIduGly uSo SO-cdll6u liver
regulators" mostly composed of
aloes and other drastic purgatives,
which only tend to produce piles and
other troublesome affections of the
lower bowels. To all such sufferers
your medicine will be an invaluable
aid in restoring them to health again,
and l feel assured that it only re-
quires to be known to be appreciated,
and that people will cease destroying
their constitutions by the reckless and
dangerous abuse of mercurials now
in vogue. Hepatazone contains no
hurtful drug, and yet it is signally eff
fcient as a liver medicine. l may re-
mark just hereathat l am not violat-
ing medical ethics in truthfully giving
you my opinion of a medicine which
/ have used myself with benefit, the
formula of which you did not hest
tate to show to me. Above all, it af-
fords me greatipleasure to know that
you have placed your medicine (com-
posed only of costly drugs within
the reach of the poorest man or wo-
