II It an Epidemic9

II there an epidemic of rheumatism in
Seattlef 1t would seem SO, judging from
the number of persons who are going
about on crusches, or carrying canes and
limping. Just why any one should suffer
with rheumatism is hard to understand.
since it is an established fact that there
is not case of rheumatism in the
world but what can be cured by DR..
Plouf7s great remedy. He has cured every
case that he has treated! He will give
$500 in U. s. gold coin to any one who
will bring him case that he cannot
cure. He can treat patients 1000 miles
from him the same as though they were
in Seattle. His medicine is to be taken
inwardly, and its taste is SO pleasant that
a child might drink it. No matter
what character of rheumatism patient
may have, or whether the parts affected
be sore. swollen or stiHened, the remedy
will cure the disease. One bottle is enough
to cure some. while other cases more stub
born viii require several bottles. The
price of the medicine is as follows:

bottles, IS; single bottles. g. Sent any

McAAuAcy lax ON W uleky 1n0eunItes
LOUISVILLE, Ky.. April 5.-The Louis
vile Public Warehouse Company has
brought suit to secure Interpretation of
the clause in the Mckinley bin under
which re-imported whisky is taxed. At
present the tax is paid on the quantity of
whisky in the barrel at the time it is en-
tered for importation. The clause in the
Mckinley bill says: amy import with
drawn from the bonded warehouse shall
pay duty only for its weight at the time of
withdrawal" but whisky pays by gauge
and not by weight, and the question is
whether, being so rcckoned, it will come
under the clause referred to. As whisky
usually losses several gallons while lying
in the government warehouse, the differ
ence will save several hundred thousand
dollars annually for the importers.

of home for himself. 1t stands in
the midst of the 1000 houses which he
has built, fully one-half of them being
visible from the balcony of his new
home. Handsome as is this little palace
in its exterior, its greatest beauty is
within. Here the extraordinary genius
of this young architect has IN labor
of love wrought out the most original
and charming effects.
The best thing about this model resi-
dence, to my mind, is that it apes moth
ing. 1t is neither Colonial nor Italian.
1t is not fad. It's character its own.
Originality. boldneSs and art are every

house?" some one asked Mr.. Schneider.

An American home it is, built not for
purposes of social display, but to live
in. There is not square foot
in the little palace that fails to
adapt itself in appearance or
utility to the functions of true
home. To this $50, 900 model residence
the modest young architect, who has a
record for which parallel cannot be
found in all the land, recently brought
a charming bride.
