A government monopoly and fac
tory for the preparation Of opium has
been established at Fukien, China.
Hereafter all opium smokers who wish
20 purchase the drug must obtain from
this establishment badges which are Of
three classes, Wiz First, brass badge,
which Is for the government officials;
second, paper badge, which is for the
gentry, and third, wooden badge, which
IS for the common people. 90 these
badges are written the names Of the
opfum smokers, their ages. their adj
dresses and the quantity OF opium they
are allowed 20 buy daily, which Is 10 be
decided and limited by the government
officials and which cannot be deviated
from at any time. The interest of
Americans for this news consists in
the fact that from the proyinse Of Flu.
kien comes most OF the Chinese of
the Philippines. The Manila Times
even thinks such a method of contr0ll-
ing the opium abuse in our new depen-
deneyshould be adoptedby our govern
ment.

FRUIT AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE
Nature Provides its own remedies which, If
used judiciOusIy, insure perfect
health at all times

Aside from the pleasure Of eating season
able fruits before beginning the FIRST meal of
the day. this custom has undoubtedly arisen
from the well known fact that nearly all
fruit and more particularly Plums and
PRUNES cont sin natural laxative principles
which act directly on the stomach and bowels.
Constipation, that dread and troublesome
complaint which is undoubtedly the basic
cause of nine-tenths of the dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, biliousness, etc, SO prevalent among
our people to-day, and, which if neglected,
surely leads to more complicated and serious
organic diseases, can surely be prevented,
and when not too far advanced, can be abso-
lute1y cured by the judicious use of the mod
ern laxative and cathartic California Prune
Waters.
They are not a patent medicine in the
ordinary sense of the word, being compound
ed from fresh California Prunes. which every
intelligent person knows is truly natures
laxative.
A dainty little wafer. always the same,

compounded in highly concentrated form

illness, or when under the weather, take q
couple of waters, and the doctors bills will
soon be much smaller than they are now.

er and superintendent of the Anti
Cigaret league The meeting was ar
ranged by the local branch of the
Woman's Christian Temperance union.
Mrs. j. w. Stewart presided. Prayer
was offered by Rev. ID. L. McNary,
pastor of the United Presbyterian
church. and the speaker was intro
dUced by II. b. Hayden, superintend
ent of the city schools. Miss CASTOR
condemned the use of tobacco in any
form. and particularly the cigaret,
showing that the continued use of the
latter viii impair and in many in
stances destroy the mental faculties.
She told the story of an old man of
the southern part of Illinois. who was
to give a lecture ,ap temperance. This
happened many years ago. The meet
ing was to be held in village school
house. When the old man was
through with his address he asked if
there was anyone present who would
like to sign the pledge against the use
OF tobacco. There was but one per-
son who came forward. He was u tall,
spare and roughly dressed young man.
After he had signed his name and re-
turned to his seat the lecturer read
out the name of Abe Lincoln to his
audience.
Miss CASTOR will remain in the city
two more days. She expects to organ
ize here a branch of the Anti-Cigaret
league.
