len $50 from his employer, James r.

You are a very young man." said
the judge. How is it that your ex-
penses are so heavy?''
'Well,'' replied Raymond, ST have two
wives to support
Raymond refused to give any further
details relative to his double marriage,
but search of the records OF the cities
of Mount Vernon and New Rochelle
bear him out. His name appears twice
as a groom. The New Rochelle record
shows that on April 81 Raymond mar
ried Alice Burto, 20 years old, who lived
at No. IS Rose street with her father,
1iveryman. The ceremony was perform
ed in the parlor of the Burto home by
the Rev. DR.. Curtis of the Methodist

years old, of No. Rose street 1t ap-
pears that Raymond took both brides
from the same block Neither wife knew
of the others marriage to Raymond
until last night. Both are pretty. Ray

TO LEAVE RUSSIA.
About 1000 Molkans Will Settle in
Northwest Canada.

Montreal, Sept. 27.-Three Molkan del
egates from southern Russia have ar
rived here from Ottawa, accompanied
by Frank Pedley, the superintendent of
immigration for the Dominion govern
ment- The purpose of the visit is to
make arrangements with the Canadian
Pacific railway for the transportation
next winter of 1000 of their compatriots
who intend to leave the cars domin-
ions in southern Russia to settle in the
Canadian northwest. AS soon as salts
factory arrangements have been COM
pleted the immigrants will begin to ar
rive.
The Molkans are spoken of as highly
desirable class of settlers, Industrious
and frugal and with a knowledge of
farming and rudimentary haudicrafts-
They hold peculiar religious tenets. They
are Christians and their views are OBJ
noxious to the ruling authorities in Rus
STA. Their ideas of social and family
life are similar to that much prosecuted
section of Russian subjects. They don't
object to military service, but they have
long suffered under Russian oppression
and are looking forward to a period
when they can establish themselves I'M
der free institutions.

CHURCH CASE GOES UP.
fractional Fight Among Colorsd Mem
bers Taken to Court of Appeals.

The fight between the Second Colored
Baptist church and Rufus Frazier and
others has been appealed by Frazier's
side to the court of appeals.
The church has been divided for some
years and Frazier, jeff Davis, John
Bradshaw Glenn Holland, John Thomas
and Nathan Williams have been in
controversy with G. D. Olden, the pas
tor. and the officers of the church. The
church asked for a perpetual restraining
order in the district court to stop the
Frazier faction from interfering with
their plans. The church won the case
and Frazier and his side have appealed
it. The church was burned Wednesday
night and Rev. Mr. Olden claims that
the fire was of incendiary origin. At
one time while the factions were quar-
relling Olden shot Frazier. The wound
was not serious.

Take Ayers Pills. The
ingredient that is mainly re-
sponsible for their activity is
one that it is almost impossible
to purchase in an absolutely
pure, unadulterated state. We
buy the crude drug, grind it in
our own laboratory, extract the
active principle, purify it, and
so know that we give you a
better pill than any one else.
Not only do we see to it
that the active principles enter
ing into each one of our med
icines are possessed of strong
medicinal virtue and absolutely
pure, but even our flavorings
are looked after with the same
care. Take oil of wintergreen,
for instance. Ninety-nine out
of hundred do not use the
true oil of wintergreen, but
the oil of sweet birch, and to
great many it is hard to dis
tinguish the sweet birch from
the wintergreen. We are even
charged with being foolish for
sticking to the oil of winter
green, which is very much
more expensive, while the oil
of sweet birch is "just as
good" But we want no "just
as good" business in ours.
Wherever there is "just as
good" there is best. We
shall stick to the best.

actly what 1t contains, and SO
can recommend it, etc., will
make the sale, and you will
be so much ahead"
The druggist buys the "just
as good" sarsaparilla, the Gust
as good" cough cure, the Gust
as good" pills. He now
has his money tied up in the
goods, and, as the "just as
good preparations are never
advertised, he must use every
argument at his command to
sell them when standard medi-
cines are called for.
The druggist is not response
bic for the failure to cure.
You don't know who the
maker is. So he is not respon-
sible.
Your interests are not con-
sidered. The ''just as good"
sarsaParilla, or the "just as
good cough cure will proba-
bly, do you no good whatso-
ever. But the druggist must
get his money back on these
'just as good" preparations,
and he must do it when
standard preparation is called
for, because he has no other
opportunity to make the sale.
There is published in New
York a book of some 600
pages, entitled ''America's Ad-
vertisers. . This work has the
following to say about one of
these sjust as good" houses:
1.-The president of this institution is re-
ported to have been a clerk in drug es-
adjustment and conceived the idea of
putting up a line of preparations which
could be offered as substitutes for adver-
tised articles.
1.-The conception which led to the estab-
hshment of this enterprise was evidently
something after the following order: There
is large demand for SCOTS Emulsion. 1
win put up preparation called Our Own
Emulsion and dispose of it to the retail
trade, printing the name of the retailer at
the bottom of the package as though the
article were prepared by the retail druggist
in his own laboratory. There is big de-
mand for Ayers Cherry Pectoral. / will
put up Never Fail Cold and Cough
Cure. Druggists can sell it instead of
Ayers and make more money. There is
a good demand for Warmers Safe Cure.
l will put up Sure Kidney Cure and sell
it to the trade at such prices that they can
dispose of it to advantage to the Gus
toners who come into the store and ask
for Warmers.
alt is stated that this concern is doing
a very large business in these Just as
good preparations which are substituted
whenever possible in place of the standard
remedies. Such Institutions are the nat
ural, the legitimate foes of honest houses.
They seek to reap the harvest which
others have sown at great labor and much
expense. Their plan is first to impose
upon the cupidity of the dealer and then
upon the credulity of the purchaser.
They should be discredited by all honest
people, and are unhesitatingly denounced
by the editors of sAmerica's Adver-
tisers'"
That these ssjust as good"
products are cheap products in
every sense of the word.

Of course you have had the
druggist offer you something
Gust as good" when you called
for Ayers preparations
Now we'll tell you some
thing about this Gust as good"
business.
You call, say, for a bottle of
Ayers SarsaParilla.
The druggist says: " Yes, ]
have it, but here is something
prepared myself. I know
exactly what this contains and
so l can confidently recommend
it to you. It is 'just as good
as Ayers, and will cost you
less money
Let US see about this. Our
business reputation is at stake.
Not one druggist in ten pre-
pares himself the Gust as good
preparation. He may think he
knows exactly what it contains,
but he doesn't, because he did
not make it. 1t was made
cheap to sell cheap.
That preparation may cost
you less money, but the drug
gist makes more money on it
than he does on Ayers, and
that's why he tries to sell it to
you instead of Ayers.
Now, please remember the
"just as good" product, the
druggist says, costs you less
money.
If he had prepared it him
self, and if it were as well
made as Ayers, it would cost
you a great deal more money,
because he can't buy drugs,
bottles, corks, labels, wrappers,
ETC., as cheaply as we.
The truth of this "just as
good" business is this: There
are several drug establishments
that make business of sup
plying druggists with ''just
as good preparations. These
houses make up cheap sarsa-
parillas, cough mixtures, pills,
hair preparations, etc. Then
they say to the druggist some
thing like this:
Why pay the J. c. Aver
Company $500 or more a dozen
for Ayers SarsaParilla when we
will sell you a sarsaParilla
'just as good as Ayers for
$500 a dozen? We will bot
tie it attractively, your name
and address will appear on the
wrapper as the manufacturer
not ours-and you can sub
stitute it when Ayers is called
for and make a great deal
more money. A nice little
talk about it being your own
product, that you know ex-
