BORDEAUX TRADE INJURED.
Effect of the Pure Food Law Of March
1908,

In a report to the Department of Com
merce and Labor United States Consul A.
w. Tourgee at Bordeaux, France, says
that the American pure food law of March,
1903, very seriously affected the commerce
Of Bordeaux, both because of its unex-
pectedness and its indefinite character. Mr.
Tourgee says that when we bear In mind
that what one people or one government or
even one set of chemical experts may deem
"deleterious to health another may re-
gard as wholly innocuous, the difficulty of
meeting an unknown and unpublished
standard of purity will be at once apparent,
and 1t Is not to be wondered at that per-
sons who have for years catered to Ameri-
can taste In the manufacture of thousands
of dainty products should regard the en-
forcement of such law without notice of
it's character, to goods requiring year or
more to prepare an infraction not Of
specific treaty rights perhaps, but of those
equities which underlie commercial rela-
lions. Mr.. Tourgee suggests that to avoid
any further misconception all the facts
which may constitute a violation of our
pure food law be carefully compiled and
published for the benefit Of those who ex-
port to the United States.

My Dear Doctor: 1.-TWO years ago I caught
severe cold. which hung in spite of all my ef-
forts all through the winter and in the spring left
me with a bad case of catarrh Of the head and
bronchial tubes.
II tried local applications, inhalers and almost
all the so-called cures. but my trouble steadily
grew worse l had a dull headache almost all the
time and a cough that persistent to give
considerable worry.
FINALLY, after months of suffering tried TO
Mia and was helped from the start. The mose
noticeable thing the increased appetite and
the vigor resulting from perfect digestion Gradu-
ally the catarrh In the head disappeared the cough
subsidized and in six months gained thirty pounds
and have had further trouble.

Some Interest.

Joseph Jefferson once told a friend
that during his long stage career he
had never been associated with anyone
showing undue familiarity with him
save one individual. a man named
Bagley, who some years ago was
property man in the Comedians com
pany. This Bagley annoyed Mr.. Jeffer-
son very much by his somewhat
offensive manners, but, owing to the
valuable services rendered by him,
Mr.. Jefferson had always been loath to
take measures more severe than a
reprlmand. But finally the familiarity
of the property man increased to an
extent imposslb BILE to endure. SO he was
summarily discharged. This dismissal
occurred just before the opening of MIR.
Jefferson s engagement one year Ill

ceedingly drunk. Paying his way into

there to see his old employer enact

Rip from the cottage. when Rip turns,
and, with a word of pathos, asks:

dience half in tears, when Bagley's
cracked voice was heard in response:

.LITTLETON
MAY CONTEST
Republican Candidate For Governor
CLAIMS Fraud.

The Iumor was pIesIstentIy ciIcu-
lated Thursday that il was the pur
pose OF the Republicans TO contest the
election of Gcv. Frazier, alleging the
gIossest sort Of frauds in many of the
counties of West Tennessee. Should
a contest be made il would be decided
by the General Assembly under the
contest law of 1895. This acr was
amended in 1897 to provide that the
contestant should be required to give
bond 10 the sum of $50, 600, payable
TO the State, to cover the cost of the
contest. In the event that the con-
test should prove unsuccessful and the
General Assembly should decide that
ii was frivolous. the amendment pro-
vides that the costs of the contest snail
be Judged against the contestant and
his bondsmen. In the face of a ma
joIity of over 25, 00D for Gov. Frazier,
and in view of the fact that his ma
jOIity was not due so much TO in
creased majoIlties in Democratic coun
ties as 1t was to Republican disatfec
ton in East Tennessee. very little
credence Is placed in the report of a
contest, 1t is generally admitted that
such a contest would be frivolous, and
in that event would cost the contestant
and his bondsmen S25, 900.
The fact, however, that Mr.. Little
ton has not followed the example of
Parker and congratulated his success

tional fact that Republican State head
quarters are still open and Chairman

would be instituted. The Legislature |
is overwhelmingly Democratic and |
