HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

A roor complexion is usually the re.
suit Of a torpid liver or irregular action
OF the bowels. Unless natures refuse is
carried of Il will surely cause impure
blood. Pimples, boils and other er-
ruptions follow. This is natures method
OF throwing eff the poisons which the
bowels failed to remove. DeWitt's
Little EARLY Risers are world famous for
remedying this condition. They stimu.
late the liver and promote regular and
healthy action Of the bowels but never
cause gripping cramps or distress. Safe

WON BY PHONOGRAPH
Sultan of Sulu Signs Treaty After
Hearing Talking Machine.
Under the Influence of the Weird and
Mysterious Voice He Finally Com
sents to Placing the Desired
Signature to Document.

According to Capt. S. E. Smiley, of
the Fifteenth United States infantry,
who passed through Chicago the other
day on his way to Washington, the
phonograph played an important part
in the negotiations which preceded the
signing of a treaty between this coun-
try and the sultan of the Sulu archi-
pelago.
Capt. Smiley accompanied Gen. Bates
on the tour of the islands under the
jurisdiction of the sultan.
'When we made the trip" said
Capt. Smiley, ut happened that we
had phonograph along. When we
reached the home of the sultan we in
vited him to come aboard. He ac-
cepted the invitation, and after every
body was on deck, Gen. Bates stated
the object of the conference and
formal negotiations were begun. We
succeeded in making the sultan un-
derstand our mission in a measure,
but he seemed suspicious, and acted
as if he wanted us to do something to
convince him of our power.
RIlci lne treaty ndu DecIl uIdItt
we tried all kinds of schemes to get
the sultan to sign it. Finally some
body thought of the phonograph and
it was brought on deck. In moment
all thought of diplomatic matters
were forgotten, while the strains OF
ragtime ditties rolled out. The music
caused panic among the sultan's
party, who threw themselves on the
deck and prayed loudly. The sultan
made careful examination of the in.
strument. Finally, he was allowed tc
talk into it in his native tongue, and
his surprise was even more pro
hounced when a moment later the
words he had spoken were repeated
He signed the treaty before we left
and we had no end of amusement later
