Mr.. Major. the famous cement man. of New
York. explains some very interesting facts
about Majors cement.
The multitude who use this standard article
know that is it many hundred per cent. better
than other cementS for which similar claims
are made. but ii great many do not know
why The simple reason is that MIR Major
us the best materials ever discovered and
other manufacturers Go not use them be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr. Ma Or tells us that one of
the elements of his cement costs 81. rs a pound
and another costs 81 % a gallon, while a large
share Of the SO-calied cementS and LIQUID
glue upon the market are nothing more than
SiXteen-cent g iue, dissolved in water or ctric
color and door by the addition of cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty five cents a bottle. and when a dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon
it his only object is 10 make larger profit.
The profit On Ma orS cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make any cement
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
of Mr.. Majors advertising. which now
amounts 10 over $1,000 mouth throughout
the country. Established in 1876.

THE daily newspapers are spring
ing new war story on the public
on an average of about once month,
and this has been going on for a
period of years. Every little diff
ference between the Powers is con
sidered by space writer's and Asso-
ciated Press correspondents as a
sure indication that a war is at hand
One day England is to fight Germany
or France, and the next day the
British and Russians are sure to
come to battle in China There is q
vast kaleidoscope change in events.
and according to these press reports
ali the Powers are liable to get tang
led up any day in the week. But
newspaper readers are getting used
to "war clouds, which nave founda-
tion only in great ''scare heads, p"
and are inclined to have but little
faith in any probabilities of great
wars The Powers are all too we'll
equipped to fight, and even though
they had the disposition to do SO,
''one is afraid and the other dare
not.

A pretty good one is told on one
Of Our doctors. He was awakened
by the ringing of his telephone at
about four O'Clock Monday morning
and summoned to at once go TO the
lower end Of the city, to attend 10 d
man who had cut his throat. All
right, said the doctor, in just a
jiffy. And then as the NJ D. be-
gan dressing to make toe trip il
occurred TO him that it was April
1ot, and he recalled previous ex-
perlences physicians had had on All
FOOLS day" He hesitated, wonder
ing if it might be so, but finally
concluded that no one would be fool
ish enough to cut their threats, and
back to bed he went, thinning
that he had fooled the Joker. But
imagine his feelings in the morning
when ne found that his services were
actually wanted, and that a man
really carved at his own throat.
Fortunately another physician was
early on the ground, and the IN
fortunate would-be suicide did rot
suffer in consequence OF any delay

DAN STAkKEY, the able correspon-
dent Of the Evening Wisconsin,
ikens the situation with regard to
the Primary Election bill to that
of the second round of d prize fight,
when the contestants, having felt
each others blows, are sparring for
an opening. It is to be hoped that
the fight which Mr. Starkey has
mapped out will result in a draw,
and that neither of the combatant
forces gain absolute victory. Peo-
pie who have looked into the Pri-
mary system are not wholly against
it, but we believe the vast consensus
of opinion is against adopting the
administration measure, and if it is
to be the Stevens bill or nothing,
then by all odds give US the nothing
because the Stevens bill is worse,
we beliey than the present system.
But the masses would be perfectly
willing to give the measure trial.
and a compromise which would apply
the Primary election principles to
county elections only, would answer
every purpose of giving it good
fair test.

AGUINALDO, the famous Filipino
leader has at last been captured,
ard of course it was General Fred
erck Funston, the Kansas hero,
that did it. The Little Filipino is
now in Manila, where he is prison
of the United States government.
1t is thought that his capture will
do more than any other one thing
could to end the rebellion, which has
been going on for over two years in
the PHILIPPINE Islands. Aguinaldo
seems to be taking very kindly to
American treatment, and says that
although he is a prisoner, he is being
treated more as a guest. The back
bone Of the instruction was broken
some time ago, and it is considered
in official circles hat the resistance
to American authority is about at
an end

Notes and News.

I wrote last week of camera pictures as being an indelible memory; before the manuscript was in print I got an intensi- fled idea of the truthfulness of the term hv heinz privileged to see a hook contain inp some of the work of Miss W. M All len. The small view again predominates and shows it's value by it's eompattness, for within the limits of about twenty pages folio size complete round trip to Europe is condensed.
 Miss Allen modestly rates herself as a '.button presser'' but while many Of the views are only records C. facts, still In a large number of them the button mas been pressed so skillfully that the art quality is very prominent; and although the book contains many very fine views by the best European houses the art gems are the result of the lady's skill in selection.
 Two deserves special mention; one is a dainty bit on the Rhine. The Mouse Tower occupying promontory with Bin gen in the distance The composition IS very beautiful. and detail has been sup pressed to exactly the right point without being fuzzy
 The other Is grouping around well in the bolster of San Marco. The fig ures are daintily posed and the lines are composed with view to aecentuate the graceful curves of the Italian architec- ture.
 The Camera Club will meet on Tuesday evening at 2o0sla First avenue to hear the report of the committee appointed to draw up constitution. At the same meeting MT. Cummings will read paper on "Diffieult Places Where Have Devel- oped." This will no doubt be an inter esting feature as Mir. Cummings has de- veloped in Cuba and Florida.

YOUR BLOOD MADE NEW.

Your heart beats about sixty thousand times a day. Every drop of blood in your veins visits every part of your body about five hundred times each twenty four hours Is 1t any wonder that many troubles arise when the blood is not right?
 Is it hard to understand why health quickly returns when you take remedy like Dr. Harters Iron Tonic remedy that purifles and enriches the blood?
 It does far more than that because 1t Is the perfect example of everything that "tonicn stands for. But 1t would be a wonderful remedy if it's power to make red, rich blood was it's only property. It is far better than so-called blood purifiers because it both makes and purifies the blood.
 It is not one of the crude forms of iron that injlires the teeth and stomach, but a delicate harmless form that is almost in stantly passed from the stomach to the blood In the blood it battles against weakness and disease, and helped by the other ingredients of that famous remedy. 1t rids the system of all impurities and helps each sluggish organ to do its full duty.
 If you have skin disease, rheumatism, stomach trouble, nervousness, or If you have any reason to believe that your blood is disordered or that your health is running down. be just to Yourself and try this remedy.
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has for forty five years been made only by the Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,. Dayton, Ohio. Sold everywhere.
