district, the villages along the Naka-
sendo have gained much by modern
Improvements In silk raising. The
lacquer tree may possibly have been
imported from China, as so many
other trees and plants were. but IL GER

at very early period. We are used
to thinking OF II as ornament only. n
Is that and much more besides. for
pain lacquer bowls and trays are al
most necessities OF daily life. They
raise most OF what Is used I'm certain
provinces, but Tokyo imports a good
deal OF juice to be manufactured
there.
The tree is species OF rbrs. closely
allied to our poison ivy and having the
same power to produce an Irritating
rash on the skin. The workers get over
this. however. and do not have IL

times get II from handling bowls or
trays which have not been dried long
enough.
To get the sap the farmer cuts n
notch In the side OF each tree. and aft

the farmer goes around with a wooden
spatula gathering the drops into a pail.

the juice TO ferment and harden. The

TOO MUCH MEDICINE
continually

The excessive and indiscrimInate use
of medicines. In these days, cannot be
too strongly condemned The food you
eat II properly digested. is al the tcnic
you need.
Only common sense is needed The
food must be digested and the bowels
must not be allowed TO clog. Preserve
your health by preventing these con-
ditions.
Constipation surely leads TO indiges-
ton, billiorsness, etc, and these con
diiions when neglected affect the con
dition of the blood, debiliiat the system,
renderingit susceptible to more serious
ailments, and less able TO resist such
attacks.
III your stomach has been abused by
over eating, weakened by drugs or sick
ness, you won't have TO stop eating or
diet yourself. All you need is something
that will aid the stomach in it's functions
and relieve ii from being constantly irri-
tated by undigested food. The purest
and simples, remedy for this purpose are
the California Prune Waters, a natural
dissolvent made from the pure, fresh
fruit, general laxative and sweetener
OF the stomach-no other medicine is
necessary.
When you are Bilious, il is a sign that
your liver is ont OF order, and the
poisonous bile, instead OF being excreied
from the body through the intestines. is
taken up in the blood. AS result OF
billiosness, the entire system suffers.
There are gripping pains in the Abdomen.

1t used to be that the quality of
Job Printing did not amount 10
much, so far as success in business
was concerned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly we'll
without it. But We live in another
and altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if they
intend to occupy a prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see a piece of job print
ing crowded aud the type TANNED
too close together, with dirty-looking
ink and finger marks smeared over
1t, 90 low grade of paper. it doesn't
speak well for the firm which uses it.
In fact, YOU don't have the same
opinion of that place as you have of
the man whose stationery is clearly
printed with good ink on the bes,
grade of paper.
The quality of stationery reflects
the standing Of ones business. Ii j.
therefore a duty you owe TO yourself

LOST HER HOTEL.
Worlds Fair Visitor Left $3.50 in Her
Room and Foreets Location.

Room and Forgets Location.
ST. Louis, July 20.-Mrs. G. II. Car
roll of Miller. S. D., has lost the To-
cation of her hotel. She is very anx-
ious to find it because her room con-
tains clothing, valuables and money to
the extent of $3.50.
Mrs Carroll arrived Tuesday to see
the fair. On the train she made the
acquaintance of a man and woman
who gave her a hotel card and adj
vised her to stop at that hotel while in
the city.
She did so and stayed at the hotel
Tuesday night. Wednesday morning
she went to the fair. There she lost
the card She could not remember
the name of the hotel nor where it
was. She only knows that to reach
an Olive street car, she had walked
one block west and three blocks north.
After hunting it until she was ex-
hausted she stopped at boarding
house at Forty-first and Olive streets
that night. She renewed the search
daily with no better success.
Discouraged by her experience and
having only enough money In her purse
to pay her way back home, she took a
train for South Dakota.

the surrender OF Maxwell without fir

somewhat A few of the extreme Par
ker men are complaining. They say
that they ought to have cleaned 1t all

wanted the convention to pass reso-

have liked q declaration regulating

there never was the slightest chance
for any such program to be carried

recognize all democrats"
The nomination of Henry Riegelman
for state treasurer came as a surprise
to him. When nominations were being
made for supreme Judge someone
brought out the name Of John NJ.
Reed, of Des Moines. The nomination
did not come from Polk county. Mr..
Riegelmann arose ard asked II any
one would stand sponsor for and say
he would remain on the ticket. Nobody
could say. Then Mr.. Likes stated
that Polk county had a candidate for
treasurer, and while there was nobody
opposing Reed, the delegation knew
nothing of his views. The effort 10
nominate a judge was Immediately
passed and nominations for treasurer
called for. Polk county nominated
Mr. Riegeiman and 1t went thru by
But as q matter OF fact
it was complete surprise to him.
He has never sought office, for that
matter allowed himself to be candi-
date for office. He could have had
