A TRUST IN CAMPHOR.
rFrom the KOBE News.J

The government scheme for a cam
phor monopoly in F'ormosa has now
been reduced to working form and en-
bodied in a series of regulations. The
government is to receive from manu-
facturers all the crude camphor and
crude camphor oil produced in the is
land, the possession, hypothecation.
transfer or export of all other camphor
or camphor oil being interdicted, and
the ports of export strictly limited
AS to the price paid by the authori-
ties to the manufacturers, it is to be
fixed by the governor general. Manu-
facturers are required to render to the
government every year a report of the
anticipated amount of production, and
for failure to do so, or for furnishing
a false report, the penalty is a fine of
from 10 to 100 yen Officials connected
with the monopoly are to have the
right of visiting and inspecting stills
and stores, and of enforcing suitable
measures of control. The penalty for
selling or exporting camphor independ-
emily of the government is heavy,
namely. confscation Of the camphor
and a fine of from SO to 500 yen. Adult
teration is punishable by a fine of from
10 to 100 yen, and so is the making of
false declaration or neglecting to make
the required declaration.

England in Forest and Stream" and
caught the eye of Mr.. Marston, the edi-

reply he might choose to make. Mr.
Marston writes me, and sends galley
proof of my note, with kipiing's an
swer appended. as follows:
Having often heard salmon anglers
who have fshed the rivers of the Pa
cific coast of North America say that
fly was no use, we sent Mr.. Cheney's
note to Mr.. Rudyard Kfpling, and his
reply shows that anglers who want to
sup with or on a Pacific coast salmon
must have a long spoon. He says;
." Dear Mr.. Marston: In the language
Of the immortal Jarrocks, Spoon!
Spoon! Spoon!' Fly is a slip OF the
rod. Those brutes won't rise to it.

was with a spoon, not a fly, that he
killed Pacific salmon. the question,
HAS the Pacific salmon ever been tax

other angler. have searched through
some of Admiral Beardslee's letters
hoping to find what he said about this
matter writing me from Alaska, but
I cannot find that he confesses to the

Good Qualities That Pat the Stamp of
Excellence Upon This Article.

There are many reasons why you
should take Morrow's Kid-ne-oids in
preference to any other kidney prepar-
alton First, Kid-en- odds are a scien-
tiffc preparation. Second. They are
tablets, which is the scientific form of
preparing medicine. Third, There are
never any bad after effects from their
use. Fourth, They act directly upon
the kidneys; they are strictly kid
ney and nerve tonic. Fifth, You do
not have to quit work while using Kid
ne-oids. A fifty cent box contains
enough for about two weeks treatment.
People use Kid-ne-oids because they
cure kidney ailments.
Mrs. Baur, 225 Tyler street, Topeka,
Kansas, says: Il have used MOrrow's
Kid-ne-oids for kidney troubles and
find it a splendid remedy, giving me
entire RELIEF. My liver was torpid and
was very bilious. Morrow's Lfver-Iax
made my liver active and relieved me
of biliousness. They are splendid rene
dies and Will keep them in the house
all the time"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but Yellow Tablets and sell at fifty
cents a box. Morrow's Liver-lax are
small red granules and sell at twenty
five cents a box. These can be bought
at all drug stores and at Swift & 1o1-
liday's drug store.
