 Yesterday.
 Hartford, March 1.-The state board of pharmacy met at the capitol to-day and examined twelve candidates for licenses as pharmacists.

The department Of public instruction
has been notified that agents for Cool
ey's language charts have been selling
their wares TO school districts in Ora
tiot and other counties on the repre-
sentation that the state superintendent
OF public instruction had ordered their
purchase. The charts sell for $40 Il
set, and the agents upon making sale
usually turn the order on the school
district over TO an innocent purchaser.
Of course Supt. Fall has not author
lied the agents TO make the represen-
tations they have and a circular is be-
ing prepared TO be sent 10 all school
commissioners in the state informing
them that the charts have never had
state Endorsement in any way. and that
school districts have no power To pur
chase them without n vote of the tax
payers Of the district.

Frames sentence COMMITTED.

Acting on the unanimous recon-
incubation Of the advisory board of
pardons, Gov Bliss has committed to
imprisonment for 20 years the sentence
of Henry Frame. who was sent from
Grand Rapids in July. 1891, to Jackson
prison Frame and Charles McCOrd re-
ceiyed life sentences for the murder
of Mrs. Mary McKendricl. an old wo
man whose home they invaded for the
purpose OF robbery.
The recommendation Of the board Is
based on the fact that McCOrd. an eX-
convict, was the originator Of the plan
to rob the old woman and induced
Frame, who was Il drinking man. to
accompany him. Frame pleaded guilty
to the charge Of murder so that the
judge had no alternative than to give
him life sentence. He also furnished
the story which resulted i'm the convic
ton OF MeCord. The board expressed
the ON that vita II. years yet 30

Nurses Experience.

Medical men say that good nurse
in difficult case is better than med
icine, but when we can get good
nurse and good medicine, the patient
stands a much better chance of re-
covery. The few words of advice

well worthy the attention of all
readers
al have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in
the various situations l have occupied as
nurse, and have invariably found it excellent
in all cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections,
neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an
excellent remedy--well rubbed in. | can
strongly recommend it after several years
use and experience. 1t should be in every
household"
Sister CAROLINA, St. Andrews Hospital
writes :" l have found St. Jacobs Oil a most
effcacious remedyin govt also in sprains and
bruises Indeed, we cannot say too much
in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it

else that outbreaks are prevented only

Miles Revises His statement.

Lleut.-Gen. Miles vigorously denounc-
ed Secretary Roots army reorganiza-
ton bill before the senate committee
on military affairs Thursday, and in
consequence, speculation is rife as to
whether President Roosevelt will take
advantage of the incident to retire the
general, the latter already having
reached the age limit.
Gen. Miles denies that he threatened
to resign in the event of the bin be-
coming law and he gave out re-
vised statement Of the language used
by him as follows:
Il have too much respect for the IL
lustrious men who have preceded me,
and for the Office which have the hon
or Of occupying, to be a party to n
measure that. in my judgment, would
do serious injury to the army and en-
danger the republic"
This statement does not agree with
statements by members of the com
mlttee.
There is no doubt that Gen. Miles
comments on the bill made strong
impression on the committee. 1t is
not regarded with favor for the reason
that it would open the avenue for gross
favoritism.

TIE SPECS" THAT FITTED.
Incident That Convinced an Old Farmer
Ills Eyes Were Good.


An old man. who has nearly attained
the biblical limit OF threescore and ten
years. was in a West Duluth drug store
recently. endeavoring TO find pair OF
spectacles TO fit his eyes. Somehow,
the old pair he had worn for ten years
were playing out-or e.se his eyes
were. He couldn't account for II. but
1t was getting harder for him to see
comfortably with them every day, and
he finally decided that he must pur-
chase new pair.
He explained to the clerk what he
wanted, and then the small stock car
ried was ransacked In an effort to find
the right thing. II was long job,
Everything tried on blurred. the one
with strong magnifying power as well
as that with practically none.
The clerk finally gave it up and ad-
vised the old gentleman to see an OPP
tician. He allowed" so, too, but con-
tinued to paw over the glasses and try
them on in a hopeless sort of way,
while the clerk attended TO something
else.
Suddenly the latter was attracted to
the customer by an exclamation OF sat
isfaction. by gosh, I've got her!" he
shouted, and the clerk turned around
to see the old man with the "spects"
on his nose, testing them on a newspa-
per.
1t was frame only, both lenses hav-
ing been taken out.
Il kin see better'n | could ten years
ago." continued the old fellow, exult-
intly, and just then he raised his hand
to take them off, and he put his finger
through the hole where the lens was
supposed to be.
His look of establishment was a study
but the result was that he decided his
second sight had arrived, and he hasn't
worn a pair of specs" since.

Big Industries Built up on Small Articles

Few people realize the wants and re-
quirements of the eighty millions of PEG.
pie in the United States. Who would
think that il requires over a million dol
lars capital TO carry on the package dye
business In this country. and that there
are twelve different factories in the Unit
ed States that manufacture package dye?
One of the largest package dye factories
In the world is that of the Putnam Fade
less Dye Co, Unionville, Mo. In this fac
tory alone over three million packages
are put up every year. When you know
that each package colors from to 6
pounds Of goods. or that the output of
Putnam Fadeless Dyes alone will color
from to Is million pounds and that 1t
would require more than 500 cars to haul
this amount of dyed goods. you will re
alize the magnitude of this seemingly
small business.

Wood to Succeed Miles.

There is a strong impression cur
rent that President Roosevelt not only
contemplates the retirement of Lieut..
Gen. Miles. but also the placing OF
MuJ.-Gen. Leonard III. Wood ut the
head of the army. The presence of Gen.
Wood in Washington lends color to this
story, and he is known to be very close
to the president, both personally and
officially. Ii is said that the president
has expressed the opinion that Wood is
the only man fit TO command the
army, and in some quarters it is not
doubted that the president would dare
to make such a radical move. If Gea.
Wood is made the commanding general
he will be jumped over a number OF
officers which will raise storm Of pro-
tests. Gen. Wood was surgeon in the
army when he organized the Rough
Riders and became colonel. President
Roosevelt being Northumberland.
