Fair Notice.

THE LEADER is carrying on its books
a considerable number of subscribers
who are behind for one to three years.
We have mailed all of these parties
statements of their accounts a number
of times, requesting settlement, and
have offered them the opportunity to
settle at the scaled rate of sl.00 year
instead of sl.50, which they really owe,
and yet have received no response
whatever. We are now engaged in
revising our subscription books for
another year, and have extended the
dollar rate one more month, hoping
many of the parties will still take ad-
vantage of our liberal offer. Should
we fail to hear from them by February
lst we will erase their names and take
other steps to collect what they are due
us. We hope, however, this will not
become necessary.

The kidneys cleanse the blood and
on their activity depends the health of
the body. If the liver becomes so
torpid that it interferes with the work
of the kidneys the body suffers and
dropsy results. The most valuable

AMERICAN FLOUR

And American Wheat Finding n
Market in Japan and Eastern
Asia.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Vice Con-
sui General Mclean has made a re-
port from Yokohama on the subject of
the importation of American flour in
to Japan. He says that the use of flour
is not confined to the large cities of
Japan, but is becoming common
throughout that country. He speaks of
three or four American built -four
mills, the largest having capacity OF
$50 barrels a day that are now help
ing to supply Japan with flour. There
are many small native mills of hand
and water power throughout the coun-
try but their product is of a coarse
character and they do not compete to
any extent with the imported stocks.
American wheat is being imported in
to Japan and the considerable amount
OF flour made from it is being sold
there. The demand for -four through
out the orient is rapidly increasing,
the best points of consumption at
present being Russian possessions in
Northern China and eastern Siberia.

ing oil in all directions. The burning
oil fell upon men, women and child
rem in the throng, who shrieked with
pain and terror.
Some were so badly burned that they
dropped. Those who were not on fire
helped them, and were themselves
burned. NOES

NEW YORK. July IA special to
the Times from Washington says:
1.-THE Gold Democrats will not put a
ticket in the field this year." said w.
Z. Bynum, of Indiana, chairman of the
Gold Democratic executive committee
in 1896.
I'VE cannot get our electors on the
official ballot in New York because no
votes were cast for our party candi-
date for Governor in 1898, and the
State law reuires that a certain num-
her of votes shall have been cast for
the State officers in the preceding cleo
ton before the nominees of any party
can go on the official ballot in the pend
ing contest. Our party organization
was abandoned in New York two years
ago, members of our party voting 9TH
or tickets.
THE only way we can have our can
didates for electors put on the official
ballot is by petition of certain num-
Der of voters in each county, an ex-
ceedingly difficult thing to do in the
present case, as the members of the
Gold Democratic party have affiliated
themselves with one or the other of the
old parties On the new issue. New
York is the one State where our ticket
might do the Republicans some good,
and if we cannot get in on the official
ballot there is little use of nominating
a national ticket. The new Australian
ballot laws in other States also operate
against independent movements

BUSINESS.
You reach your sleeper fresh and
bright looking. Here you score a
point at once II you manage properly.
Ihe porter has a marvellous faculty for
judging the size of the tips he will re-
ceive and letting those women who
will give none to manage as best they
can. When you enter the car don't at
tempt to carry your grip; don't do any
thing the porter can do for you.
.ynen you wish anything done do
not hesitate If you do the porter will
decide quickly that you do SO because
you do not intend to pay him for his
! services. Do not go to the other eX-
IRENE either by tipping him before you
are ready to leave the car. Such a
course is equally fatal to good SER
vice.
having secured the good will of the
porter, take him into your confidence.
| Tell him you want the wash room in
the morning for full half hour before
any other woman is likely to demand
1t. and tell him to cali you in good
| season.
By this time the porter is making up
your berth, and half of the other pas
| sengers already have retired Your hat
| and coat may be hung up. Enter your
berth and remove your gown, hanging
up the waist. Your skirt is too long
to hang up, but it will keep without
missing if you fold it and then roll il
from the waist down and put it in the
rack over your head. Then put on your
| dressing sack or cape, and armed with
the necessary toilet accessories, go to
the dressing room.
A Refreshing Rest.
Arrange your hair for the night, wash
| your face and hands, rub them with al
mond cream, put cream on your lips
and return to the berth, with yoour hair
| concealed under the hood that now
covers your head.
Take off your shoes, putting them
where the porter may get them if
they need polishing and climb into your
berth. Remove your petticoat. rolling
and slowing it away as you did your
dress, and finally take off your under
clothing and stockings, tossing them
into the rack at the foot The flannel
gown is put on and you are ready for
sleep. You do sleep, in comfort and
rest.
The next morning the porter will
awaken you and you may go just as
you are to the dressing room, merely
slipping on your shoes and tying the
ribbons at your waist. Nobody else
in the car is awake, and even if you
are seen through the curtains you are
quite presentable. You have time to
take good sponge and give your body
good rubbing with toilet water, then
return to your berth before the others
begin to turn out.
Here you put on your fresh under
clothing and your petticoat and once
more return to the washroom, this
time in your dressing sack, with the
hood over your head, to arrange your
hair for the day. At the same time
rub your face with almond cream and
dust it slightly with powder Then
go back to your berth, put on your
gown and you are ready to meet any
one. You look as bright and fresh
as though you had just stepped FROM
your own room in decided contrast to
most of the other women in the same
car
