S5,oOO,IO0 Tobacco Bill Saved,

CHICAGO, September 8.-[Special. Tho
Chicago Inter-Ocean's Illustrated Supple
ment, describing the great success and merit
OF No-To-Bac, has made it famous in a day.
MIR. II. L. Kramer, the active man. was
seen to-day at his office, As Randolph street.
and In talking of No-To-Bac's growth, said
It was hard work to keep up with the rap
idly increasing demand, as every box sold
advertised No-To-Bac's merit.
He said "No-To-Bac is not sold on the
strength OF the thousands and tens of thou
sands OF testimonial statements, but under
an absolute guarantee to cure or money re-
funded." That made long story about
merit very short, as 1t absolutely protects
the user from physical injury or financial
loss. "Why," said he, "No-To-Bac will
make 100000 cures this year. and the say
ing will average $50. 90 for every one cured.
or Il grand total of ST., 1000, 900 saved from
going up in smoke and out in spit" No
To-Bac, Is indeed a God-send to the Door
man these hard times. According to the
testimonials, however, the money saving is
the least consideration, for almost every
one reports an Improvement of tho nervous
system, increase in weight, and a revival of
physical and mental powers that is indeed
miraculous.
Prominent physicians look upon No-To-
Bac as great success, and are very free to
prescribe it.
Every wholesale drug house in this coun-
try and Canada sells No-To-Bac, and the re-
tail druggists are pushed to supply the de-
mands of customers the direct mail demand
Is immense.
The cost of No-To-Bac compared with the
results is II small matter, as the saving in a
week pays the cost of cure for lifetime.
No-To-Bac is sold for 81 IA box, or three
boxes, 81. 30, with guarantee TO cure, or
money refunded.

THE INDIANS ALL,
What the Buffalo Meant to the Noble Re

What the Buffalo Meant to the Noble Red
Man.
To the Indians the buffalo was the
staff of life. He was their food, cloth
ing, dwellings, tools. The needs of a
savage people are not many, perhaps.
but whatever the Indians of the
plains had, that the buffalo gave
them.
The robe was the Indians winter
covering and his bed, while the skin,
freed from the hair and dressed, con-
;ttuted his summer she ct or blanket.
The dressed hide was used for moe
;asins, leggins, shirts and women's
lreSses. Dressed cow-skins formed
their lodges, the wafmest and most
comfortable portable shelters ever
devised. Braided strands Of raw
aide furnished them with ropes and
ines, and these were made also from
5he twisted hair. The green hide
was sometimes used as a kettle, in
which to boil meat. or stretched
over frame of boughs, gave them
,oracles, or boats for crossing rivers.
The tough, thick hide of the bulls
aeck, allowed to shrink smooth,
made a shield which would turn
lance-thrust, an arrow or even
the ball from an fashioned
smooth bore gun. From the raw hide,
the hair having been shaved off, were
made Notwithstanding like cases
which served for trunks or boxes
useful to contain small articles. The
cannon bones and ribs were used to
make implements for dressing hides;
the shoulder blades lashed to sticks
made hoes and axes, and the ribs
runners for small sledges drawn by
dogs. The hoofs were boiled to make
a glue for fastening the feathers and
heads on their arrows, the hair used
to stuff cushions, and later saddles,
strands of the long black beard to
ornament articles of wearing
and implements of war, such as
shields and quivers. The sinews
lying along the back gave them
thread and bow-strings, and backed

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best proG2cts TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in tho
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
atiyo; etfectually cleansing the system,
oispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction 10 millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free fiom
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug

The constitution of the United
States provides that no State shall
coin money; but it seems that in
itviduals might do so, up till about
the time of the late civil war. or
course, 1T has always been against
the law to counterfeit or initiate the
coinage of the United States, and so,
necessarily, a coin issued by a pri-
Vate mint would have to be so dis
sfnct In shape or makingS as to show
that 1t was not intended to pass as
Federal money. For this reason the
$50 dollar gold coins or tokens issued

Gold coins were also issued by the
Mormons of Utah at about the same

Carolina.
Probably the latest of these nri-
gate mints was the one established
In Denver in the early '60's. 1t is
said that the coinage Of this establish

Of Secretary Chase, that eminent
dnancier was much astonished to tlEd

gagged in making and uttering money,

The total area of the United States
is 3,570, 27l square miles, or 2, 284,
973, 440 acres; hence it will be seen
that the principal crops produced re-
quire less than nine per cent. of the
total area. OF course, there is a large
part of the 91 per cent. of the whole
area not cultivated, which Is not now
and never will be tillable; yet it
must be entirely clear to the man
who has Travelled much in his own
country that the capacity for produc-
ing the necessities and even Injuries
of life, is practically unlimited over
the immense domain of the United
States. And when we reflect too,
that the yield per acre of all the
crops named above is pitifully small,
owing to our barbarous methods of
farming, it will be seen that they
who are already groaning because our
productive areas are becoming ex-
hausted are unduly moved in the
wrong direction. We already pro-
duce too much of almost every crop:
but should necessity demand or high
prices encourage, the yield of every
cultivated acre in the United States
might be easily doubled.
