WAMPOLE'S
PREPARATION,

of the nutritive properties Of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites,
Malt and Wild Cherry. 1t makes fat
which is like fuel to the system; is
scientifically combined, and specific
for Fevers, Bowel Complaints, De-
bility and wasting diseases. There is
no bad taste to 1t. You get all the
curative properties Of the cod liver
oil, but not whit of its offensiveness.
How different from the old-fashioned
mixtures! Well, the world moves, and
this remedy illustrates the fact 1t is
ascientific modern combination of the
best of curatives made palatable as
honey. Sold by all chemists.
OF the multitudes who have used our
preparation, or are now using IL, we have
never heard of any one who has been dis
appointed In it. No claims are made for
1t except those which are amply Justified
by experience. In commencing 1t to the
afflicted we simply point to its record. 1t
has done great things. and 1t is certain to
continue the excellent work. There is-we
may honestly afflrm-no medicine which can
be used with greater and more reasonable
confidence. 1t nourishes and keeps up the
strength during those periods when the ap
petite fails and food cannot be digested.

THE WORLD MOVES.

We have only to go back TO the
time of Charles |. to come upon the
discovery of the circulation of the
blood. To day we understand that
the life of the body is In the blood,
and that impurities in it are the seeds
of disease. Whatsoever improves the
digestion and stimulates the Liver,
Lungs and Kidneys, drives out these
impurities, or disease germs, and en-
riches the blood, and is, therefore, the
source of health and strength. Thus
far in the history of medicine nothing
has been so successful in this as

The japanese In California.

Every month sees more Japanese ar
rive, and larger percentage of them
are common laborers, who enter the hop
yards, orchards and sugar beet fields of
California In fruit packing they have
crowded out white men and women.
They are as quick as women and girls
in handling fruit and are more accurate
and steadily industrious. They practi-
cally monopolize the industry of beet
pulling on the large ranches devoted to
the sugar beet. Complaints Of the rapid
displacement Of white laborers by Japa-
nese in orchard work induced the labor
bureau recently to make an investiga-
ton. They found Chat the Japanese
worked under cooperative plan and
that by this means they were able to
make contracts at low prices. Several
associations in San Francisco are en-
gagged in house cleaning, dividing the
profits among their members: The jap
anese are doing large trade in San
Francisco in bamboo ware and mating,
which are used mainly for decoration of
rooms. They have cut into the Chinese
trade in curios and embroidered silk
garments. -Chautauquan. 49,.

Saluting g. Cat.

There is at least one place in the
world where the cat was until recently
held in high honor and received the at
tention due to one of SO high station
in life. That place is India, where in a
fortress the sentries Invariably used to
present arms to every cat that appeared
on the scene.
The custom is accounted for by this
singular anecdote, which comes from
what appears to be good authority:
+ Some so years ago it happened that a
very high English official died in an
Indian fortress, at place that is one Of
the centers of Brahmanic religion, and
at the moment when the news of his
death met the sepoy guard at the main
gate black cat rushed out of it.
The superstitious guard presented
arms to the cat as salute to the dying
spirit of the powerful Englishman, and
the coincidence took firm hold upon
the locality, that up to few years ago
neither exhortation nor orders could
prevent Hindoo sentry at that gate
from presenting arms to any cat that
passed out at night. -Harper's Round
Table.
