Recent experiments conducted by most
eminent scientists, prove that light is a
great remedial agent; it is essentially
Natures agent. 1t may be either sun
light or electric light, but it has a de-
cided effect in helping nature to Danish
disease and restore health. Other scien-
tific MEN have proved that oxygen cleo
tribes the heart and can prolong life.
The people on this earth are susceptible
to some laws which govern plant life A
plant cannot be successfully grown in the
dark. man is seldom healthy and strong
who lives IN the dark or in sunless rooms.
After all, Natures ways are found to be
the best Natures remedies are always
best for eradicating disease, and bv this we
mean medicine made of roots and herbs
They are assimilated in the stomach and
taken up by the blood and are therefore,
the most potent means which can be en-
ployed for the regaining of lost health
DR.. R. V. Pierce, consulting physician to
the lnvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
at Buffalo, n. Y, in many years of extern
sive practice, found that he could pin his
faith to an Alternative extract of certain
plants and roots for the cure of all blood
diseases. This he called DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Containing no
alcohol nor narcotics, entirely vegetable,
this Discovery" makes rich red blood and
is a powerful tissue builder, giving the tired
business man or woman renewed strength
and health. Rapidly growing school girls
and boys often show impoverished blood
by the pimpies or boils which appear on
face or neck. To eradicate the poisons
from the blood, and feed the heart, lungs
and stomach on pure blood, nothing is
SO good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Don't allow the dealer to insult your in
telligence by offering his own blood rem
edy to you instead of this well known
preparation of Dr. Pierce's. Ten chances
to one he will substitute cheap compound
having large percentage of alcohol in it.
DR.. Pierce's Pellets are the best for the
bowels. Use them with the rDiscovery.s

In the Lips.
The upper lip should be bow. shaped,
while the lower should form the arc OF

lower lip should show more red than
the upper. The lips should be only
moderately full.
Thick lips show q sensuous tempera-

color. while indicating 6rmness and
will.power, are also indicative Of q
lack Of amiabili,y, and, according to
other indications in the face, may
show meanness, if not avarice.
Firmly closed lips indicate determi-
nation; open lips, weakness and vacil-
lation. The open mouth is a charac.
teristic OF idiots.
The upper lip should have a slight
curve inward before its union with the
nose, for the straight lip indicates it's

gent. Much depends on the length OF
the upper lip. The distance from it
to the nose should be one-half the
breadth of the mouth. A short upper
lip indicates liveliness, Wit, fertility of
invention. brilliancy of repartee. A
long upper lip is generally indicative
of stupidity.

Joke That Cost 4 Dollar.

]. ]. Smith and the late Senator
Hamilton left the Olympia hotel one
evening for quiet walk and business
talk. As they we're meandering down
. residence street, Mr.. Hamilton saw
an Irishman approaching with an un.
steady gait, and told Smith he would
have some fun with him.
When they met Hamilton accosted
the half-inebriate, pushed him ur
against way, handed him half-dol'
lar and said:
"Take that money, and quit telling
the neighbors that I don't pay my
debts"
The Hibernisn gripped the money

it was joke or mistaken identity, apd
replied:
"Yez fergit that it was a dollar yel
borryed."
And Mr.. Hamilton had to give uE

In the Time That Rome Was Built.

The higher criticism had little effect
on the kid of whom the Kaneas City
Independent tells this story:
A little Boston girl found it difficult
to master stitch in knitting, and her
aunt thought to enforce patience by
reminding her that Rome was not
built in day. To which came the
quick response: "Oh, aunty, how

the whole world, and l don't suppose
he spent more than half an hour on

Not So Bad. After All.

There is widespread opinion that
the government of the United States
is very expensive because the Congress
appropriates about one billion of dol
lars at its two sessions. The Depart.
ment of Commerce and Labor has

finds as follows: The amount of
money per capita Of the population
necessary to be raised for the govern
ment is, in the United States, $7.97;
in Germany, s9.45: in Spain. 5000;
in France, $l7.S4; in Great Britain,

iMPERSONATES THE PRESIDENT
Methods Of Moving Picture Machine Fakirs
Are Detected and Exposed by Police.

The Washington police are inves,i.
eating an incident which occurred in
the plaza of the capitol, few days
ago, in which an attempt was made,
before moving picture machine, to
impersonate President Roosevelt Civ.
ing assistance to pretended negro in
distress. A moving picture machine
had been placed where it could COM
mand the scene, and man made up
as negro approached, and when di
rectly in front of the statue OF George
Washington he fell to the pavement.
A man who bore striking resem-
blance to the President was in a car
riage near by, and he, with the aid of
a negro coachman, who wore livery,
the counterpart of the White House
livery, tcnderly lifted the pretended
negro to the fictitious Presidential car
riage. The man Stimulating the Presi-
dent then lifted his hat, offered the
negro cigar and ordered the carriage
to drive on. The incident was wit
messed by a number OF people, includ-
ing two capitol policemen.
Special Officer Jones, of the capitol
police, who witnessed the occurrence,
said that he was standing on the east
entrance of the Senate wing of the
capitol, when he say a man with a
large Photographic outfit set up his
machine beside the Washington statue.
1.-TWO carriages were near" said
Jones. "a man got out of an open
carriage and lay down on the asphalt
and directly in front OF the camera. He
was big, fat negro, and wore minstrel
shoes and regular, minstrel outfit.
Another carriage drove up, and from it
alighted a man dressed like President
Roosevelt. The latter helped the
PROSTATE negro into his carriage, Of
fered him a cigar and tipped his hat to
the negro, and then the carriage was
driven Off"
The police investigation disclosed
the fact that the men who participated
in the episode belong to the theatrical
profession. They are believed to have
left the city.

New York journal.
The great anthracite strike, by rais-
ing the wages of the miners, added l6
cents a ton to the cost of producing
coal, so the coal kings testify. The
coal trust has utilized the increase Of
wages as an excuse for putting up the
price OF its commodity fifty cents q
ton.
That it is able to commit this rob.
berry is only one more proof OF its alb
solute domination over the anthracite
supply and the unlawful discrimina.
ton and combination of the railroads
in restraint of trade, TO destroy which
is the object of the suit before the
interstate commerce commission.
"Divine Right Baer and former
President Walter, of the Lehigh Val
ley road, were startingly defiant in
their admissions before the interstate
commerce commission the other day.
These men are 80 accustomed to the
facts of their unlawful monopoliza-
ton OF necessity of life that they
shamelessly confess them.
The contracts, the production OF
which Baer and his associates refused
until ordered to produce them by the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
make the violation of the law by the
most bsrefaced of the criminal trusts
as obvious as in the case OF any chief
caught with his hand in another
mans pocket.
President Walter admitted yester.
day that his company had gone into
the Temple Coal and Iron Company
the official name of the trust-to pre-.
vent the building of an independent
railroad into the coal fields.
President Baer made no disguise
of his despotic power to fix the price
of coal, and moreover boasted that
there would be no reduction until the
Reading Coal and Iron Company paid
S., 900 600 year profit per cent. on
a bloated capitalization, watered to an
extent sensational even in these days
of steel trust and shipbuilding trust
stock.
All of these facts are, and have been,
in the possession of Attorney General
Knox for year and half, and yet
he has taken no action to enforce the
law that pronounces these practices
to be crimes.
The case against the coal trust is
palmer and stronger than was the case
against the Northern Securities Com
pany, and the Attorney General has
not only failed to move against it, as
his duty demands, but by his acts have
prevented the prosecution of the
robber trust.
For a year and half this unfaith.
full guardian OF the public rights. with
the evidence of the coal trusts guilt
in his hands, its adequateness vouched
for by his own deputy, has stood by
and permitted the violation of the
law and the plundering of the people
to 60 on.
The revelations before the inter.
state commerce commission convict
the Attorney General OF the United
States as we'll as the coal trust.
