Tho New Navy Rife.

The strongest shooting gun in the world
is the new Lee rifle made by the Win
chester Repeating Arms Co., New Haven
CT, for the u. s. navy. When fired
there is a pressure on the breech of CO.
600 pounds to the square inch. To build
a gun that would Withstand such tremen-
dous strain was a great undertaking, but
the Winchesters, with their vast and
varied experience and wonderful plant,
succeeded In turning out a gun entirely
satisfactory in every way to the navy.
Like all Winchester rifles they shoot to
perfection, work smoothly and easily and
are a strong serviceable arms. The Win
chester send large illustrated catalogue

What Do the Children Drink at tho
Table?

What Do the Children Drink at tho
Table?
Coffee and tea are injurious; they get
tired Of milk or water, and there is but
one other thing to give them, that is,
Grain-O, new food drink that takes
the place Of coffee and tastes so much
like 1t that even the parents can't tell
the difference. 1t Is the opposite to
coffee, for instead Of breaking down
the nervous system 1t builds it up, in
stead Of making one bilious 1t keeps
the whole system In a healthy condi-
ton. Grain-O Is a delicious table bev-
erage made Of pure grains, having the
rich seal brown color of Mocha or Java.
Grain-O Is not a medicine, but.a food
drink that every one likes, and every
one Of the family can drink without the
least injury. 1t costs only about one
quarter as much as coffee. Sold by all
grocers, 15c. and 25c. per package.

The seizure is made because Of a recent
Supreme Court opinion which says .hat
in case cf strikes, the railroad companies
have the right to contscate any coal on
its property, regardless of the consignee.
This decision was reached on the ground
that the railroad companies were the reg
ular transmitters of the United States
mail, aud that the comfort and conven-
fence Of individual travellers should be
given preference over manufacturing and
industrial concerns. The railroad COM
panies claim they are exercising their just
rights in the confscation, as they MAIN
tain their contracts with the coal concerns
call for so many thousand tons year
and when strikes prevail they are simply
taking their balance due in the contract
instead of waiting until the bins were
near empty as heretofore, In addition to
the confscating order the price of COM
mon soft coal jumped 40 cents a ton,
while the soft screenings were rated at
just double their customary value.

Dangerous Use of
Strong Purgatives.

Most pills, purgatives and Bit
ter Waters, which act quickly
upon the bowels, irritate and otter
destroy the mucous coats of the
stomach and bowels. Indeed their
cathartic action is directly caused
by the irritation of the bowels,
which they produce. Their action
should be soothing and stimula-
ting instead of irritating. A con-
tinued use of such remedies pro-
duces chronic inflammation of
the stomach and bowels. This
often ends in dangerous disease.
The use of the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, is highly
recommended as an aperient, lax
ative and diuretic, because its &C
tion is due solely to its solvent
and stimulating properties. 1t
soothes and allays Inflammation,
and is therefore much preferable
to all strong purgatives and Bitter
Waters.
