Consumption is a human weed fourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young when old. sometimes i'm possible.
 Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear.
 The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest.
 The time to treat consump- ton IS when you begin trying to hide 1t from yourself. Others see 1t, you won't.
 Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget 1t and be better for the treatment. If 1t is consump- tion you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat ment you will win.
 ,Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment. rC@ We will send you

Commissioner of Japanese Electric

The Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany's lines were inspected yesterday
by Y. Shijo, commissioner of electrical
railways for Japan, who is on his way
to the st. Louis exposition as dele

students and N. Nasaki, president of
the japanese college Of fine arts in
Toxic. He said.
The equipment of the twin city lines is
better than that of Vancouver, the only

reaching st. Paul. We have the double
trolley system and our cars are smaller
and the track equipment much lighter.
We have not yet equipped our cars with

RAILROADS
BIG LINES AT PEACE,
GOULD AND HARTMAN INTER-
ESTS SAID TO HAVE AGREED
UPON A TREATY.

Harmony such as exists in the east
between the Vanderbilt and Pennsyl-
vania systems is said to have been
arranged in the west between the
Gould and Hartman interests. This
means no unstable rates and no ag
gressive operations in each others ter
ritory. The main points are said to
have been settled while both men
were abroad this summer. The alli-
ance will naturally have the approval
Of w. X. Vanderbilt because of his
control of the North Western, which
is an outlet of the Union Pacific. & Mr..
Vanderbilt and Mr.. Hartman are per-
sonal friends. vfaa. #5a5 v3 E"pl
Including Harriman's large interest
in Northern Pacific, and Gould's in
terest in the Atchison & New Moffat
road to the Pacific coast, these two
railway magnates have a voice in the
management of nearly two-thirds of
the railways west Of the Mississippi
river.
Should the pending Northern Sc
curities litigation result in giving Har-
riman control of the Northern Pa
cifc railroad, the new alliance will
have a potent voice in the manage
ment of $500 miles of Burlington
lines, Of which the Northern Pacific
railroad owns one-half.

.CHOUNARD, A WIFE
MURDERER, DIES
NERVE OF CONDEMNED MAN
NEVER FALTERED.
Execution at Walker This Morning
Was Conducted Without Hitch
Deputies Aided in Last Acts by the
Murderer - His Crime Committed
In Jealous Rage.

Walker, Mimi, Aug. 30.-William
Chounard, who murdered his wife at
Cass Lake, in jealous rage, was
hanged here at 1:07 this morning.
He was escorted to the scaffold by
priest and two deputy sheriffs and
when asked whether he wished to say
anything replied, mo; nothing" The
priest then offered the Lords Prayer.
Which Chounard repeated. While the
black cap was being adjusted the con-
demned man aided the deputies In
every way he could and his nerve
never faltered.
The hoods were quickly drawn over
the body and the head and the straps
fastening feet and hands We're adj
justed. Sheriff Hardy touched the
lever and the drop fell. A few con-
vulsive movements and Chounard was
still. At 1:13 Doctors Wilcox and
1:14 Dr.. wilcox announced that there
was no pulse.
No relatives of the dead man were
scaffold Chounard expressed his sor-
row for the deed he had done.
Chounard and his wife kept resort
in CaSs Lake and for week or more
before the murder Chounard had been
drinking heavily and quarreling with
his wife because of attentions which
she accepted from other men. Chou
nard pulled a gun from his coat
pocket and fired at his wife who was
but a few feet away and facing him.
The shot struck her in the pit of the
stomach and she ran screaming to the
door, but did not escape until he had
fired two more shots which struck her
in the back. She died shortly after
an operation and within thirty-six
hours Of the time she was shot. Chou
nard made no attempt to escape.
Tho fnt nf ChO11narS was scaled
yesterday when the supreme court of
Minnesota denied a motion made by
the murderer's attorney for a stay of
execution.
Chounard was 26 and lived at Lit
tie Falls.

WHY is A BARBER'S POLE
PAINTED White and RED?

For many years 1t has been customary
for BARRIERS sign to be a pole painted in
alternate stripes of white and red. 1t Is
a custom handed down from the time
when every barber was also leach" or
bloodletter, and the white and red pole
signifies the blood and bandages. Blood
letting in those times was supposed to be
a cure for almost every ailment. We pre-
tend to consider that we have advanced
wonderfully in the knowledge of medicine
and surgery in the last hundred years. but
doctors still delight in cutting people open
to cure them of appendicitis To be sure
1t is one way of curing this dread disease,
but you wouldn't advise cutting off a leg
to cure corn-and cutting off a leg isn't
half dangerous as operation for ap-
pendicitis. You can't overestimate the
horror and danger Of it. 1t should only be
resorted to In the last extremity.
Every surgical operation for appendicitis
is throwing dice with death-the chances
are about even that you will not come
through 1t alive. Then why take the risk?
Miks Emulsion has been known to cure
well-developed cases, as we can prove by
many testimonials in our possession. Read
what this man says:
Haute, Ind:
Gentlemen-I was a constant sufferer
for five years with stomach trouble, which
developed into appendicitis dia gnos ed
by physicians. and for six months ex-
pected orders to be taken to the hospital
to undergo an operation by knife, when
was induced to try a bottle of Mills'
Emulsion, and not more than half the bot
tie was taken by me when I was given re-
lief and have no indications Of any pain
in my side or stomach since that time,
and can freely recommend Milks' Emul-
sion to anyone suffering from stomach
trouble or indications of appendicitis.
Yours truly,
Jack c. Rutherford

But prevention is far better than cure
You will never have appendicitis as long
as you keep your stomach and bowels in
proper condition. Constipation is the
starting point Of most stomach and kidney
troubles.
Milks' Emulsion will positively and per-
manently cure constipation, for it not
only acts as a slight cathartic, but it aids
digestion and stimulates the stomach and
bowels to proper action. It is not only
assimilated by the most delicate stomach,
but aids in the assimilation of other food
and enables the body to properly extract
the nutriment which Is so necessary to
health and vitality q. .s

TRAFFIC IMPROVES
Western Roads Pleased with the
Increase.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service
Chicago, Aug. S0.-There was a
general increase in the traffic of west
ern railroads last week and prospects
are good. The total amount of grain
brought here during the week was
5,603,000 bushels, an increase of $685.
900 bushels over the previous week
and of 100000 bushels over the cor
responding week Of last year.
The receipts of corn increased last
week over the previous week $4,000
bushels, much more than offsetting
the decrease of 100000 bushels in
wheat receipts and of 100000 bushels
Of corn receipts.
The livestock traffic in western
roads last week was the heaviest of
any week in the past four months.
