WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

POST CHECK CURRENCY.
Some of the Uses to Which the New

New York Press: Familiarity with the
Post Check currency plan is the chief
essential to unqualified approval. Ac-
ment issues 81. 81 and s. bills, much like
Bank of England notes, having blank
spaces thereon. These bills possess all
the virtues of our present currency. with
this new one added: That when the
owner OF one of them desires to remit

cent stamp. cancels it, writes in
the blank spaces his name and the name
of the payee and the operation trans
forms the currency into check which
will be paid. on Identification by any

facility and simplicity. Ii provides every

owing to its distance from the points OF

and germ carrying money than the east,
must appreciate the Improvement.
No curtailment of the present money
order system is contemplated save to the
extent that the people lessen its opera
ton by the change 10 the far more con-
u
the Post Check provides. The farmer
need not go TO the postoffice nor the
city business man send to the sub-sta-
ton. 1t is an additional convenience
which undoubtedly would become widely
and warmly popular in the first six
months of its operation. Merchants will
welcome it because the volume of trad.

doing business. That wait at the money

advocacy Of Post Check currency is based
on the conviction that it will win instanta-

read the argument made in it's behalf be-
fore the house committee on the postoffice
and post roads by Mr.. CIV. Post of Battle

to him b. representatives and the an
swers he gave to those questions And
from them we should say that every
imaginable objection to the proposed in

resulted from this determination TO drive
out the saloons.
Within the past few weeks there has
been case in the city court growing
out of this difficulty. 1t was alleged that
saloon man attacked one OF the prohi-
bition supporters and severely injured
him. The feeling OF the two factions
has grown more bitter as time rolled on
and within the past few days several
conferences have been held with County
Attorney Eckstein regarding the matter
He advised The owners of the buildings
that the feeling thai has grown up
against them in Clearwater because of
their allowing saloons TO be operated III
their buildings had become so intense that
ii would be better for them to stop this.
and the same advice was given the OWL
ers and attendants of the saloons These
men acknowledged that the people Of
Clearwater were against them and that
there would be trouble as long as they
kept their places in operation and that
this feeling of enmity would grow more
and more. 1t was finally decided that
the above named men should go out of
the business forever and that they would
never sell intoxicating liquors in Clear
water or allow their employees TO do so.
and they also decided that their prop
erty could no longer be used for this pur-
pose.

petition for a perpetual injunction and
