NEW SYRUP LAW
IN EFFECT JAN. |
ALL BUT PURE MAPLE MUST BIZ
MARKED sADUIITERATED."
Inasrnuch as the Maple Output Is
Short, There Will Be Big Influx
of Sap and Table Syrups Which
Are Compounded but Not Neces-
sarily Injurious.

Sap" syrup, table syrup, ''break-
fast syrup and other syrupS With
new names promise to be numerous
on the market before the new year Is
very old, all because the last legisla-
ture enacted a law compelling syrup
manufacturers to label with correct
formulate compounded goods sold In
the state after Jan. l, and there has
been great shortage in the maple
syrup crop In Canada and the east
this year.
At first it was thought that the
failure Of the maple syrup crop had
been SO nearly complete as to take all
pure maple. syrup off the market and
to place the manufacturers in the en-
barrassing position Of labelling all
their output ''adulterated."
But there appear to be two turnings
to the long lane the syrup manufac-
turers are travelling; for, there will
| be enough pure maple syrup on the
market to enable firms to sell a linn
| tied supply--and the law specifies
| that when the word maple" Is used
| the syrup must be pure or must be
branded with the word "adulterated"
| and the formula.
l LAS the law applies only to those
syrups labeled maple it will be easily
possible for manufacturers to put on
| by other names than maple, said

will be some maple syrup on the

How to Cure 1t. "
You Must Keep the Bowels Regulated
If You Would Be WeH-A Simple
Remedy Within Reach of All.

Constipation poisons the entire sys-
tenn. It charges the blood with vile
impurities, causes piles and female
troubles, ruins the nerves, upsets the
kidneys and liver and prepares the
way for disease and death.
Nature has provided but one way by
which food may be received into the
system, while the importance of free
ing the body of waste matter is en-
phasized by the fact that she has given
us four ways of disposing of it:
The bowels, the kidneys, the skin
and the lungs all throw off materials
which If retained in the system would
poison.
OF these the bowels and kidneys are
most important. Anything which him
ders natural bowel or kidney action re-
suits in sickness-this is inevitable
there is no escape.
Did you ever stop to think that you
would be seriously i'll if your bowels
and kidneys refused to act for only
three days, and that a fortnight would
hurry you to the grave?
| Any trouble with the. bowels is
serious.
| Anything which prevents regular
daily action of the bowels is dan
gerous.
Iron-ox Tablets cure constipation.
| They do it by SO: toning UP the entire
digestive tract that the stomach. bow
els, liver and kidneys work together
naturally and in harmony.
They thoroly regulate the bowels by
their combined tonic and gentle laxa-
| tive action. Their tonic qualities slim
! ulate the flow of digestive fluids, and
1 with their mild laxative effect relieve
all trouble.
/ Remember, Iron-Ox Tablets are not
purgative or cathartic in their effect;
they are tonic-laxative; they cure by

FOUND WOMEN DRUNK
RockefelIer's Pastor Declares Question OF
Drinking Women Seri-
mis- Problem.

Il . ,
Cleveland. Ohio, Dec. 1T tell you,
this question of drunkenness among
women that confronts this country Is a
serious problem" declared Rev. Charles
A, Eaton in his sermon last night at the
Euclid Avenue Baptist church. DR.. Eaton
is John D. Rockefeller's pastor. THE
other night, when was in the grillroom
of the leading hotel of the city," he con-
tinued, ct saw. more women there than
men, and every woman was drunk. There
was not sober woman in the place.
And there were some girls and men of
good family there. There was one pure.
beautiful girl with woman companion
who was saturated with sin. Somehow
or other this young girl had come to that
grilroom just for that once. And she was
intoxicated. ~.
I'VE are dead morally. The country is
paralyzed in a struggle for money. 1t is
bad enough for men to go too far In this
direction, but when even women step over
the line and go toward the king of death
they strike a blow at the race as deadly
as has ever been dealt it.

ROYAL MATCH OPPOSED
Russian Grand Duke Threatened with
Loss OF Rank and -

Berlin, Dec. 14.-According to the Saale
zeitung, the engagement between the
Grand Duke Cyril of Russia and the di-
vorced Duchess Melita Of Hesse is en-
countering serious difficulties. The Rus
sian emperor is forbidding it, both on the
score of difference in religion and too
close relationship. The young grand duke,
despite his fathers and the emperor s
wishes, persisted in his desire to marry
his cousin, and the car finally gave him
the alternative Of breaking off the en-
gagement or losing both his rank as a
grand duke and the money which goes
with it, and also having to leave Russia.

on him by Xenophon and Lyrias, but the
story was well worth telling for other
reasons.
Ii is a vivid picture Of the Athens of
Alcibiades, Socrates, and Cleon. The I'M
ending wars between people and aristocrats;
the bitterness of politics that overthrow
the greatest city of the ancient world; the
disastrous siege of Syracuse-these pages
from the most enthralling period of history
are rified TO make a setting for romance.
Prof. Gaines knows his subject well, and
his very style and turn of expression show
the influence OF the Greek models. Soc
rates and his mysticism serve 10 deepen the
interest OF the story, and a touch of the
occult gives a vague charm to the whole.
The woman whose name serves as the
title of the book is the daughter of a Spar
tan chief, and she first gains the love of
the hero by the intrigue method of defeat
ing him in a wrestling match. The child
ism attachment sprung up in this strange
manner lasts through years of suffering and
separation. 'even unto this darkness"-the
death of both.

Publishing Company and is illustrated by

very fanciful account of the doings of that
ancient pirate by Cyrus Townsend Brady.
The author admits that he has distorted
history 10 serve the ends of his romance.
In his introduction he says his intent was
to describe a pirate as he was, and from
this viewpoint he has met with abundant
success, for il would be hard to draw a
more repulsive character than his Sir Hen
ry Morgan. A love story in Caracas, with
with only temporary success, is a relatively
uninteresting part of the story, as its
somewhat stilted sentiment has little place
amid the blood and thunder" of the pi-
ratical narrative. The horrible chapter de-
failing the death OF Morgan is by far the
most pleasing in the observation-disclosures it
is the last.

The Best OF Poe.

From A. c.. McClurg &c Co., Chicago,
come two small volumes of Poe's writings,
one containing 1.-The Best Tales the other
1.-The Best Poems and Essays Of this
writer. The stories are deliberately CLASH
fled under the heads Tales of Imaginative
Science Tales Grotesque and Amusing"
Tales Weird and Beautiful" Tales OF
Ratiocination' and Tales Psychological
and Grewsome." In the last are included the
ILLS Found in a Bottle" The Fall of the
House of Usher" The Murders of the Rue
Morgue," THE Gold Bug and The Facts
in the Case of Mr.. Valdemar." These are
but a few of the selections, which have all
been made with Judgment, and the title is
not misleading, for the volume undoubtedly
contains the authors best in fiction. The
same may be said of the companion volume
of essays and poems. Poe wrote but few
poems in all, and seems to have revised and
rewritten these many times. Several YER
sions of "Lenore' are here given. The
Bells "Annabel Lee" 1.-THE Raven For
Annie" are others included in the list. The
essays are those covering his literary creed
The Poetic Principle" The Philosophy
of Composition Novel Writing" etc.
There are also amp of Poe's criticism.
Altogether in these two volumes one may
have in compact form the choicest of Poe's
productions. The editor is Sherwin Cody,
who contributes a discriminating biographi-
cal and critical study of the author. The
books are well printed and are in attractive
form.

Reader will ask themselves whether
Cherry" is not founded on some incident
of Booth Tarkington's own college life,
yelled by laying the scene in the early days
of Princeton. After reading the book the
impression is gained that Mr.. Harrington
knew such a character as Mr.. Sudgeberry
while an industrious member of the class
of 1888 at Nassau Hail." and that he has
pictured him a little ext~ravagantly-a little
above the eminence usually attained by a
college prig. All schools and colleges have
their prigs and "buttinskys," as the col
ever made so much trouble for himself and
friends as Mr.. Sudgeberry. Sylvia Gray,
the heroine, Is womanlike in character,
for she prefers the rollicksome, gay VIII
Prentiss to the smileless, Puritan-like Mr..
~Sudgeberry, who imagines he can win a
woman by forever airing his learning and
insidiously preaching against his rival.
Mr.. darlington has worked a great many
humorous situations into the story, all of
which; in the end, recoil on the prig. There
is one, the attack on the coach, which
seems to be overdrawn, but, as it leads to
the climax, the author may be forgiven
for stretching" the incident. Cherry
has not yet been dramatized, but there
seems to be plenty of material in it for a
first-class, ~sprightly comedy, and there is
little doubt. If the author consents, IL will
furnish amusement for thousands of thea
~ter-goers. 1t is possible the book was writ
ten while Mr.. Harrington was at Princeton,
laid away for a decade, then revised and
turned over to HarperS after the authors
place in literature had been assured. The
story shows a little more appreciation of
humor than some of his other works.

A French Novel.

From William r. Jenkins, S51 Sixth ave-
nue., New York, comes a French novel en-
titled l. Marriage de Girard," by Andre
Theuriet, with explanatory notes in Eng
lish by Prof. r.. Z. Bassett. 1t is a story of
love and scandal. An arbitrary father has
picked out a wife for his son, but the latter
is in love with a girl of his own choice.
To separate them the father banishes the
son to a distant estate. OF course, the
lovers manage to meet even there, and
through the meddling of the other girls
mother a scandal is started that reflects
on the character of the young mans sweet
heart. After a stormy scene between father
and son the father consents TO meet the
latter's choice, and is so captivated by her
charms and purity of character that he
consents to their marriage. The meddling
mother, who tried TO ruin the girls repu-
tation, is subsequently herself found liv-
ing a bad life. The author tries to prove
that evil is rewarded with evil. but it takes
a French author to place so markedly before
the public situations. which destroy the
otherwise high literary value of the book
and neutraliZe the claim made for IL of be-
ing suitable for school and home reading.

Animal stories continue to be the rage,
judging by the number published. Rudyard
Kipling and Ernest Thompson Seton seem
to have aroused great interest in the crea-
lures Of the forest and field, because persons
possessing the required knowledge of nature
and the gift OF writing well find ready
market for all they print. Ruth A. Cook,
formerly assistant in charge of nature work
at the children'S museum of the Brooklyn
Institute of Arts and Sciences, tells of wild
animals of the plains as she knew them
when she lived on a farm in the West. The
book Is instructive and not wholly without
sentiment, for the woman's sympathy crops
out in each story. The author describes,
in story form, the characteristics and ways
Of the coyote, antelope, prairie dog, Jack
rabbit, wild pony, buffalo, muskrat, beavers,
skunk, pocket gopher, and the
Rocky mountain grasshopper. The book is
illustrated by Mabel Williamson. James

A Kidnapped Colony.

The title of this book sounds as IL it

carry out the illusion. But the author
is Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews, and
she has written an amusing farce-comedy.

him on his mettle. There is a love affair

In discussing the subject the Rev. DR..
Hunter spoke at length of the church's
doctrines, pleaded for unity of the 125 vari-
Gus denominations that are scattered over
the country, and dealt with facts from the
