the new tax on eleOmargarine not having
proved effective even in shutting down
the imitation butter factories. There are
various reasons given for this condition of
of affairs, but the probability is that the
chief reason is the general adoption of the
sliding of yearly scale of wages. By this
very sensible method of wage adjustment
the wOrkingmen are made to feel that they
have a mutual interest with theiI en-
ployers, sharing in their prosperity when
business is prosperous, as at present, as

If the Pittsburg method of

Making FrInced Christmas Cards.

Half dozen young women were seated
the other day around a long table in the
back room of little shop ON Fulton
street making fringed Christmas cards
At one end Of the table were two piles of
cardboard sheets about three feet square
Each sheet contained twelve prettily col
Urrd prints. Two of the young women.
armed with immense shears, were busy
cutting the big ShCetsup into cards. The
other four, each with paStcpOt aud Il
stack of deliCatcly tinted friuges, were
making the Christmas cards proper. The
single carls are of two designs, one for
each side of the fringed card Mucilagc
is applied To the edges of the back of one
card, the fringe is run around, and a
card of the other kind with the edges
muCilaged is placed upon the fringe The
frinGed card, thus made, is pressed until
the muCilacc is dry, and the card is ready
for the market. The six young women
turn ont 600 of the fringed cards day.

how much capital there is invested IN
manufacturing plants of various kinds, if
the city is continually troubled by
strikes, lockouts and boycOtts, prosperity
will lag or decline. 1t looks reasonable
that employees would be better satisfied,
would take greater interest in the pros
perity of their employers, aud would be
less likely to go on astrike or make unjust
demands when they are assured that they

wages, whatever profits their employers

THE DRUG STORE IN POLITICS.

The drug store is playing an important
part in Kansas politics. Colonel
MOONLIGHT, lately TIE Democratic candi-
date for Governor of that State, declares
that the drug store defeated him. The
Kansas drug stores have monopoly OF the
liquor traffic in Kansas. These, says
Colonel Moonlight, uniting with the Re
publicans, got away with him.
Says the Chicago Herald;
Every man who is sick, or who may think
that he will be sick, is entitled under the
law to have some medicine, and rs con-
sequence Kansas has become one of the
unheahhicst States in the Union. The IN
valid presents himself to the Probate
Judge, dominates his disease, pays his Zee,
receives his permit, proceeds to the drug
store, nOminates his poison, receives It,
paving three prices therefor, and goes
home, From the records which the dis
pensaries are compelled to keep it appears
that whisky is good for everything from a
bald head to failing eyesight and curva-
ture of the spine, and that the people are
resorting to that remedy IN increasing
numbers every month. Enjoying mo
nopoly of the trade and reaping profits
which promise soon 10 make the Kansas
druggist a millionaire, this new social fac
tor has also become power in politics.
According to Colonel Moonlight every
druggist is enthusiastically in favor OF the
prohibition law. Its enactment has put
money into his purse and its continuance
will make him rich. lie is therefore ar
IDENTIFY in favor of any party which promi-
ses TO retain the law. As the Republican
campaign was made in defense OF the pres
ent system the druggists arrayed them
selves on the side of that organization, and
by assessing themselves 800 apiece they
were able to raise corruption fund which
made the efforts OF the Democrat Moon
light to iliumine the state fall short OF
their object. Naturally enough, he con-
siders the drug store in politics q great
evil and he sees no limit to the OppOrtuni-
ties for fraud aud corruption which it
Ofr-rs. 1t is evidently only question of
time when there will appear in Kansas
and other prohibition states u party which
will aim 10 destroy the drug store. II the
things which Colonel Moonlight says are
to be accepted us correct it is already rs
demOralizing an institution ~ the saloon,
and under some circumstances it may be-
come more 80.

Women who were once the picture OF health,
now are weak aud often respondent Even
little children in too many cases are puny,
where they should b. bright and healthy.
Whr ia this? The causes are various but
in nearly every case they can be assigned TO

retaining the albumcn that is taken into the
system. This can only be done by properly
stimulating the faculties and orgHos that
absorb albumen.
II was the realization of the above truths
which caused some eminent scit ntlsts few
wears since. TO undertake series of expert
ments. These experiments were con ucted
with the greatest skill and care, and resulted
in the discovery Of a preparation, which
taken into the body, stimulates the proper

ton, so discovered, was Volina Cordial. 1t

It is undoubtedly dong more to impart new
life and activity to the race, than any other
discovery of modem times. 1t is stimu-
Iating, invigoratinG and yet contains no
element that can, in the least, harm even o

These are facts not given at random, but
serious and earnest truths, confirmed by
scientists as we'll as by experience. There

graves to day who might havo been alive and
