PRESIDENT BRYAN, who returned last
Thursday from Olympia, says that there

LaFollette certainly deserves great credit
for the fight he has made on this question
but late developments prove that it will
be necessary for the bill to be materially
altered before it will pass the senate.

smartest lobbyists that money could hire

kill the bill. Spokane has now been

From the day that young man starts
out to seek his first position to the end of
his busipess life, his health has a world to
do with his success. When. a young man
applies to a business man for position, his
personal appearance has a deal to do with
the outcome. Personal appearance" does
not mean dress alone. 1t does not mean
exterior cleanliness alone A Young man
may be clean so far as soap and water will
make him, but be disfigured by unsightly
pinples, eTrptions and alterations on ale
skin. These are due TO impurities in the
blood. The blood becomes impure because
it is improperly nourished. Instead OF
receiving the life.giving elements of the
food, It receives the foul emanations of
indigestion, bilousness and costiveness.
The reason that DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the best remedy for
disorders of this description is that It goes
right to first causes, II gives man an
appetite " like horse" 1t facilitates the
flow of digestive juices. 1t corrects all
disorders of the digestion, and makes the
assimilation of the life giving elements
of the food perfect. 1t invigorates the
liver. 1t purifies and enriches the blood
1t makes the muscles strong and active.

RObber Insurance In Chfnn.


One of the fiourishng businesses of north
ern China is that of the brigand insurance
companies. These organizations for a
specified fee, undertake to protect the tray
eier from robbers. Before starting on a
journey arrangements are made with one
of these concerns, and they send an escort
of one or two so-called riflemen. Each COM
pany has distinguishing flag, which is put
in some conspicuous place, either on the
cart or boat, as the case may be. Now in
meeting band of brigandS the convoy
gees on ahead and holds a parley inform
ing them that he represents such and such
an insurance company. and IL they recos-
nize him as friend all well and good; IL
not, the matter has to be fought out which
usually results in the rifiennen running
away.
1t is very evident to any one that thasn
guarantee companies are merely agents for
the brigands, and as long as this system is
permitted to flourish so long will northern
China be a robbers den.
The truth of the matter is that the bril-
gandS in Manchuria are nothing more than
soldiers who were disbanded after the late
Japanese war and who carried their rifles
and ammunition with them
They are, however, a cowardIv lot only
making attacks between sunset and SUNRISE
some OF 1hem are decidedly rebels, and not
understanding the heavy sacrifice of human
lives, their numbers increase, 10 the fear OF
Doth government and people.
