Goddess of Health.

When you nestle among the lofty peaks
of your summer mountain home, when
the blue hills blend with the azure heav-
ems, when the white clouds are born, in
the 'tiand OF the sky or perchance you
float upon the liquid stream which has
parted the grand old mountains. as
it ripples and murmurs along verdant
banks; or, sailing under the
shadow of mighty cliff, you wait and
listen to tho enraptured music of the
dashing, sparkling waters of the babling
brook as they leap from crag to crag in
their bewildering dash for the river.
which bears them on to the ocean: or
mayhap, you may witness the finishing
stroke of the sunset scene as if with a
magic wand, the painted tints of the
West are blended from horizon TO hori-
ron In halo of glory such as none but
the hand of the Almighty can portray
when in the midst of these summer wan
behring's in quest Of recreation, rest and
quiet, remember that the Goddess of
Health has taken up her abode in every
barrel of ''Ceresota' flour; and if your
landlord is not already using "Cefesota"
for his bread and breakfast rolls,
be sure and recommend him to do so,
and insist that it is a matter OF business
for him to thus look after the comfort,
health and repose of his guests. 1t seems
as though natare had cast Its subtle in
fuence around and about the dusty
miller" in whose brain was conceived
and by whose delicate hand was formed
the wonderful machinery which, by the
aid Of the Great Creator, who caused the
wheat to grow, has produced the only
perfect patent spring wheat

Important Tariff Regulations Put In f.,

The State Department has received
cable dispatch from Consul Caughy at Mes
sina, Italy, stating that the Italian govern
ment, beginning today, exacts one Ira
Q9.3 cents) tax per ton on sulphur besides
the present export duty of IL Ira per ton
The Importance Of this change to American
drug interests is explained in recent re-
pert by Consul Ritter at Catania. Italy.
He says the Anglo-Sicilian sulphur trlst
has been formed to control the sulphur
market, having its center in Italy The
capital stock is s5.000,O90. By an arrange
ment with the government additional du-
ties were provided. The United States
consumes 10000 tons of this Sicilian sui
phur annually, and Consul Ritter says the
higher rates on the crude birthstone will
therefore cause great injury 10 the acid
makers and other manufacturers of the
United States.

William j. Bryans day ended with an

missed being a disaster. One-half of the
platform from which he was addressing a
crowd of several thousand persons in the
square IT. front of the Baggs Hotel in
Utica, at midnight, fell to the ground. and
although the presidential candidate escaped
injury, Clinton Beckwith of Herkimer, q
member of the reception committee, had an
ankle sprained; John T. Teller had a leg
broken and several others We're badly
bruised and cut, but no one was seriously
injured.
The cracking Of timbers and terrified
shrieks of women nearly created a panic.
Mr.. Bryan raised his hand to quiet the
crowd. and after delay of ten minutes,
helped out the men who had gone down
in the wreck. he continued his speech.
Overcrowding the platform caused the
accident
