Red Men So Love 70 Drink.

II was down in the Indian Territory
few weeks ago, said St. Louis man
the other day, land business took me to
the capital of the Cherokee Nation.
There is no country in the world where
prohibitory laws are as strictly enforced
as in the five civilized tribes. It is
against the law to import any sort of
intoxicating liquors under severe penal
ties The result is that it is common
thing for people to drink camphor, per-
fume, hair tonics and any old liquor
that contains the faintest suggestion of
alcohol.
81 actually saw one fellow drink Q
large swallow of red ink and learned
that this carmine fluid was most pop
ular beverage. A good sized bottle Of it
could be had for so cents, and it was
warranted to make the drunk come.
It seemed to me that when the Indians
were willing to go to such extremes to
indulge their craving for fire water that
it would be just as well to let them
have the genuine article, which couldn t
at the worst be half as baneful as the
vile compounds they habitually use. -

She gained strength rapidly. Soon she
was IN perfect health.
Since then l have kept DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People in the house al
ways and have done mt1ch good with them.
Zone example:
here IS young girl friend Of my
daughter who seemed almost transparent.
She was white and very thin. We were
afraid she would fall dead IN the street
when she went out.
81 begged her to take DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and finally induced
her to try them. They helped her Won
derful1y, probably saved her life and re-
stored her to perfect health. Now she is
recommending them to other young women.
~ earnestly advise mothers with grow
ing daughters TO keep DR.. Williams Pink
Pills always on hand as household remedy.
Many women's lives are miserable be-
Cause such symptoms as Mrs. Tansey's
daughter showed were neglected while they
were developing into wonanhood. During
that period of rapid development the blood
needs the highest degree of strength to re-
pair the tissues that are rapidly wasted.
These needed elements are supplied by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
The vegetable ingredients Of thess pills act
like magic In restoring strength to the mus
c1es and roses to the cheeks of growing girls
or adults weakened by overwork.
All druggists self DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. They cost so cents boxS

PURE TOBACCO.
The London Lancet Says It L. Not Enjuri-
Gus to Smokers.

The London Lancet Says It L. Not Enjuri-
Gus to Smokers.
Referring to the agitation started in
France by a society which acts on the
principle that tobacco is always use
less often harmful and sometimes homi-
cidal. " The Lancet says: I'VE agree in
so far that we allow tobacco to be some
times very harmful 1t is. of course, a
poison, but SO is tea, as also coffee
two vegetable products which are con-
sumed by nearly every inhabitant of
either England or France. All three can
be and very often are abused, but this
does not do away with their reasonable
use In these days of rush and hurry to-
bacco has often a most soothing and
restful effect. The tobacco sold in
and although in England it is possible
to buy fairly good tobacco it is next
door to impossible to get it pure.
THAT is to say, it is nearly always
scented or treated in some way so as to
give it an artificial flavor. Cigars are
beyond the purse of any but rich man,
and as for cigarettes the filth sold as
such is beyond description. A pure to-
bacco society would be an admirable in
stitution, and, as for the traders saying
customers like scented tobacco, the
customer seldom gets the chance Of
smoking anything else. The truth il
that, as in the case of highly scented
tea or soap, it is cheaper to fake infe-
rior qualities of stuff than to supply the
real thing, To be unsophisticated an
article must be of good quality, but the
craze for cheapness is running every
thing, and when people buy cigarettes
at 36 cents a hundred it is not to be
wondered at that they get-well, an in
ferior article. ;"
In view of these dicta it is interesting
to note that cigarettes are turned out il
large quantities by firms of repute at q
retail price nearly third less than the
price mentioned by The Lancet Lon

One evening, the evening after Christ

in our room. Henry and had had our
Christmas dinner with his people, and
Mr. Gately had had his at the rector's
house Mr. Gately was assistant at the
parish church The major, poor man,
had had no other resource than to sit at
Mrs. Buckingham S table.
"What kind of dinner did the duchess
give you on Christmas" asked Henry
of the major, who was dealing with
quiet precision.
Colossal, " replied the major = colos-
sal, sir, and familiar.
"Do you mean, said /, "she gave
you the same old things, only more of
them?''
Precisely, madam. 1t is your lead
and hearts are trumps.' The major had
turned the queen. "We had five kinds
of pie, I" he added,
led some small card of plain suit.
Mr. Gately took the trick, playing a
king second hand, and led the king of
hearts. | saw the major looked puzzled
and frowned.
Five kinds of PIER Mr.. Gately ex-
claimed mildly as the hand went round.
Dear me What i'll judged benevo-
