tanned by the courts in New York, Hi.
nois, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina and elsewhere. In Ohio,
New Hampshire and several other States
they have been declared invalid. The
Supreme Court, of Illinois, has just
affirmed the constitutionality Of the law
in that State, and it is believed that this
will increase the annual revenue by
about 81 100000.

We know that Cod-liver
Oil is a fat-forming food
because takers of it gain rap
idly in weight under its use
and the whole body receives
vital force. When prepared
as in Scott's Emulsion, it is
quickly and easily changed
into the tissues of the body.
AS your doctor would say,
"it is easily aSSimilated."
Perhaps you are suffering
from fat starvation. You
take fat enough with your
food, but it either isn't the
right kind, or it isn't digeSted.
You need fat prepared for
you, as in Scott's Emulsion.

According to the Chicago Tribune real
estate is not paying enormous dividends
these days, owners not getting an
average return of more than per cent
on their investments, and from this must
be deducted nearly per cent for taxes,
and more for insurance and repairs. The
Chicago boom has been mainly wind.

ANOTHER ONE PULLED.
For 0bstructing the Sidewalks With
 His Wagon

Frequent complaint has been made through the GRAPHIC of teams being left standing without driver, of careless driving and of obstruct- ing the passag' of streets with teams. It seems bat the occasion al arrests made don't hinder these petty violations of the city's laws.
 J. H. Robinson (co) who drives a team in the city was arrested this morning for obstructing the side walks at the Emma Oil Mill, and compelling ladies and passers gener- ally to go out in the mud to get around his wagon. He was fined $3 by Judge Brown for the offense.
 If more frequent arrests were made teamsters and drivers might learn that other people have rights which must be respected.

The Operation and It's After Effects Pro,
 ductive of Extreme Torture.
 Professor Mccall, for many years principal of tho Glasgow Veterinary college, speaking of the practice of dis horning cattle, said: T have heard the evidence of Professor Valley, and agree with him that the operation is one of extreme torture at the time and afterward. There must be more or less pain until the wound is entirely healed. Under the most favorable circumstances it must be painful for ten days. The operation does not benefit the animal in the least nor the flesh as food. But if the animal is vicious consider it suffi- eient to remove the tips of the horns I have known of an animal from which the tips of the horns had been removed to take to putting again, but very rare. ly. Even then he did not do much damage" "
 George Andrew Leper, fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, saidi "I consider tho practice of dis horning cruel because it causes fearful pain and is absolutely unnecessary. l have heard the previous evidence and agree with it.
 Professor William Pritchard of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, London, and for 20 years professor at the Royal Veterinary college, Camden Town, had heard the previous evidence and agreed that the operation tortures the animal and is unnecessary.
 Professor Cox. Fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and for some time its president said, "In my opinion dishorning is extremely cruel and quite unnecessary. ;"
 Professor J. Maequeen, for ten years professor at the Glasgow College of Veterinary Surgeons and afterward at the Royal Veterinary college, Camden Town, said: "The operation is not necessary, and, if performed at all, should be done on the animal before it is or months cid. That prevents the horns growing, and the operation is comparatively painless. "-Our Animal Friends

ADVERTISING HINTS.
tFrom the Advertising world)

Holiday advertising should begin now and be pushed clear up to the first of the year.
 With better lines of goods at this season of the year youshould do bet ter advertising.
 There is more satisfaction in hav- ing your goods creditable than in having your profits large.
 Given the best goods and the best way of telling about them you are in the lead for the best business.
 Make q reputation by selling hon- est goods. Protect yonr reputation by supplying the greatest values.
 Goods that are worth advertising are worth selling and goods that are worth selling are worth advertising.
 An advertisement that brings busi- ness is q good advertisement. Study the paying one and write others like it.
 There are more wide-awake adyer- tisers in business than ever before; you must make your advertising better than ever.
 Advertising means pushing your business. Pushing your business means increasing your profits. Ad- yertisinp means nrOfits.
 Today's attractions may tomor- row be an eye-sore. Get your best goods to your patrons while they are still your best goods.
 Because advertising has become q valuable feature of business is the reason why people study advertise ing more than they did formerly.
 DC n't overwork the term below cost" People come to know that you cannot get along and continue business and still sell goods below cost.
 Now that "Klondike" has almost worked itself out as an advertising phrase, what will be the next catch word which every advertiser will feel inclined to use?
 Your advertisement works twenty four hours a day. It works while you sleep. Tit is a good one it will make money for you while you build up your health for another day.
 Space for your advertisement should be guaged by the value of your bargains. If you have few val ues use small space. If you have special bargains the people will be glad to know it.
 Merchants try to determine wheth- CT advertising is an expense or an in vestment, Those who consider it an expense usually find it an expense. The question depends entirely on the advertising.

A CAR WINDOW
A Missile Thrown at the Valley Train at Jefferson
 Barracks.

As the Valley train. which arrived here this morning, was pulling up to the depot at Jefferson Barracks, q military post fourteen miles south of St. Louis, Mo, some miscreant threw a two pound rock through one of the car windows.
 The rock shattered the window by which MT. James Fentress. who was a passenger on the train, was sit ting and passed just over his head. It was a ragged sharp rock and had MT. Fentress been struc, the blow would undoubtedly proved fatal. The train returned to the station, but the person who threw the rock made good his escape.

oratorIcal Association


 The Association is in tlourishing condition, and now has 20 members. and it's marked influence is already being felt among the young gentle men who compose the same. If all young gentlemen, instead of spend- ing their evenings upon the streets of the city, would follow the example of the young gentlemen who are members of the oratorical associa- tion, and devote at least one night a week in the broadening of the mind and in other studious pursuits, they wouldnot only be greatly benefited, but reap untold benefits for their country. The young men of the oratorical association range in age from IS to 24, and as this is the formative period of a life, it is of untold advantage to them, for as ''the twig is inclined, so grows the tree. <"
 The sessions are very interesting and quite a number of ladies and gentlemen are regular attendants. To q person who has never as yet attended, it is indeed a pleasant surprise to see the young men en. gagged in debate.
 The program for next Tuesday will be quite interesting. and every body should attend, and not only spend an enjoyable evening, bu' also stimulate the boys through l their presence.
