Clippings from the Bowling
Green Times, Oct, 27, '97,


No optician ever visited or lived
in Bowling Green (Ky) who is Civ
ing more satisfaction than DR.. ].
Harraes, the eminent Chicago spe-
clalist, who is making peoples eyes
easy, at ]. B. Settles. Dr. Harraes
stands at the very top of his pro
fession, and has proven himself not
only skilled scientist, but a genius
in his line. Those who have been
fitted with glasses by the doctor are
loud in their praise of him, and re-
gard his coming to Bowling Green a
blessing. Many of them have tried
at various times, different opticians
but they have utterly failed to give
relief But Dr. Harraes gave relief
in every case.
To Whom 1t May Concern This
is to state that DR.. Harraes exam
ined my eyes and fitted a pair of
glasses for me. l cheerfully state
that they gave me better satisfac-
tion than any glasses I ever wore,
and in fact made my vision as good
as new, though a celebrated opti-
clan had before told me that the
sight of my eyes was past redemp-
ton. take pleasure in stating
that | consider the doctor a master
in his line, and well worthy of the
patronage of all afflicted with poor
vision. ELvIs H, PORTER,
Justice of the Peace.
Mrs. Emma Gaines, after being
troubled with her eyes for years,
says; "My glasses are perfectly
soothing to my eyes, and give great
relief. I could not wish for any
thing better"
DR.. Harraes having fitted up my
eyes successfully, l most heartily
recommend him to any one needing
the services of a competent and
successful optician.

greatly benefited by DR.. Harraes
glasses, / have no hesitancy to
recommend him to all my friends as
a competent and conscientious op.
tician, who will give them relief and
perfect sight"
DR., Harraes glasses have given
me entire satisfaction, and | believe
him to be a skilful optician whose
services will speak more than can
be said concerning his ability,

Doctors Can't
Cure 1t!

Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. s. s. s. is the only cure
for this terrible affliction, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause Of the disease and forces it
from the system.

IMITATION FRUIT JUICES.

Imitation ''iruit juices" made of acids
and sweetening, and fla yored to resem-
bic fruit juice, do not come under the
internal revenue laws, If they do not
contain any noticeable percentage Of
alcohol. II, however, they are found
to contain a perceptible quantity OF
alcohol, whether thus is present through
fermentation or the addition of spirits
or other alcoholic liquor (wine), dealers
therein involve themselves in special
tax liability as liquor dealers under the
internal revenue laws.
Eight samples Of so called fruit juices
produced by the Ohio Wine and Fruit
Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, were exam
lned bY the chemist here, who finds that
they did not contain in their present
condition any percentage OF alcohol
sufficient to bring them within the
notice of the internal revenue law; but
he says: "These beverages are all made
up with acid sweetening. and favored
10 resemble fruit juice. Fermentation
has been prevented by the addition OF
salicylic acid, chemical preservative.
It should be remembered, however, that
they may ferment, under favorable con-
ditions. after they have gone into the
hands oi retailers, and would then be
very likely to be taken by revenue
officers for wine. especially as most OF
the names are suggestive of wines.

OF keeping the time of their fellow

that Sundays and legal holidays will be
counted against clerks when occurring
during the time they are absent on sick
leave. In this Secretary Gage differs
srom the heads of the other executive
departments.
Some OF the provisions Of the new
circular. which embodies or amends all
the circulars on the subject issued in the
last fifteen years, are Sundays and
legal holidays charged in sick leave; no
extension Of the thirty days sick leave
except with the consent of the head
Of the department; special provisions
covering leave Of absence to clerks in
whose families contagious diseases may
exist; persons transferred to the
Treasury from other departments to be

Under the laws Of the State Of Illinois
and the ordinances OF the city of Chicago
it is necessary for the party making
application for license as saloon keeper
to file a bond with the city collector.
The case recently decided of the United
States against Ambrosini involved the
question as to whether the Government
can require such bonds to be stamped
under the war revenue act of 1898. The
decision was in favor oil the Government.

Soda Water Season IS On.

Tie soda water seasaa is once more
in ia sway and its popularity is ever
on the increase. The idea that few
men drink soda water, is erroneous.
as those who sell it say about 30 per
cent Of their customers are men.
There is a great variety e Sc had at
the fountains Chocolate is the fav-
or;te flavor.
Very few people know what they
get when they order glass Of soda or
how it is made The Ingredients are
carbonie acid gas. water. the syrup
and ice cream. The gas is made from
sulphuric acid and soda carbonate.
Formerly those who ran fountains
here had their own generators. but
now the dealers receive the gas in
long iron tubes from firms in the east
who manufacture it for this purpose.
This removes the danger of explosions
and also insures pure gas. In fact
great care is exercised to have the
product pure in all respects. Up-to-
date dealers no longer use the ex-
tracts for the syrups. They are now
made from the fruit. the juice being
crushed out at the places where it lis
grown. 1t is then mixed with sugar
and this is called the concentrated
syrup. Where extra choice fruit is
in the market here the dealers some
times make their own syrups from it
but the majority is shipped in.
The tubes contain twenty-five
pounds Of gas. A ten gallon tank OF
distilled water is then come cted with
the gas tube and the water thorough
" carbonated. Carbonate distilled
water is about as pure as it is possible
to make water This tank. which may
be kept in the cellar or under the
fountain. The fountain holds the
syrups in one gallon cans. usually oil
block tin or porcelain lined to insure
safety.
The pure food law which is to &C
into force this summer will apply tC
soda water syrups, and should any
authorizations exist now this ought tC
remedy that defect. The tube from
the tank of carbonated water run:
through a coil, around which ice i:
packed. to the faucet from which it i!
drawn, some charged water shot in
the cream put in and then the glas
flied up with water. The customei
then has cool refreshing and pur'

In reply to an article in last Fridays
Inter Ocean in regard to the old sol
diers being out against La Toilette:
In speaking about the support being
light, it SAYS:
There mas been a great deal Of
talk lately about the soldier vote. and
what will become of it unless there is
veteran on the state ticket. While
the matter IS by no means settled,
there is a strong suspicion resulting
from the actions of certain veterans
the last few days that G. A. r. men
have no particular use for La Toilette
in the Governors chair. although
some Of them may admit that he is an
able man. just now they are talking
about refusing to allow him to tram
pie on the grave of General Fairchild,
so to speak, one Of them at least. con-
sidering that his nomination and
election to this high office would
amount to the same thing. There IS
little story about that examining
! board at Madison. in which the name
of la Toilette. former Commissioner
OF Pensions Tanner and General Fair
child figure. which has not been for
gotten 1t will be remembered that
La Toilette objected to the appoint
mant of General Fairchild's old regi-
mental surgeon, DR.. Ward, and ac-
cording to Tanner. wanted man APP
pointed who had no army record.
Grand Army men 0lso remember that
there was similar trouble atPlatteville,
and that La Toilette not only refused
to appoint veteran, but appointed q
man who. according to Dir. Z. G. Ora
tiot of Shullsburg. was not even Q
citizen Of the United States"
There was no trouble at Plattevillc
