About Rheumatism,

There are few diseases that inffict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
such O varied and useless lot of reme-
dies have been suggested. To say that
il can be cured Is, therefore, bold
statement to make, but Chamberlain's
Pain Balm will relief the pain, and
hundreds of sufferers have testified to
permanent cures by its use. Why
suffer when Pain Balm affords such
quick relief and costs but trifle? For
sale by H. G. Miller.

P i RE FOOD
Pure Whiskey and the Bad
4 Effects Of Impure Whisky.

=: Unless the rectifers are too strong,
the present session OF Congress is 60
ing to pass @ Pure Food" bill, and
include whiskey. II they do, and these
retifiers are forced to put the cross
bones and skull on their product, no
man will be foolish enough to buy it.,
although they do now, and some with
the knowledge thatit is not the genu-
inc article.
Who is to blame for the sale of this
poisonous stuff? None, but the con-
sumner himself. There are two reasons
for this: Some want whiskey that
tastes pleasant; Others want it cheap.
To the first, they should know that 100
per cent. is standard for pure liquor,
and that 100 per cont. or proof whiskey
will not drink as pleasant as water.
The Indians call it Fire Water" This
was before our forefathers knew any
thing about the new way of making
imitation whiskey. 1t was all pure
then, consequently it was all hot, 90 it
lis today when it is pure. To the sec
end, the tax of 81. 90 on every gallon of
100 per cent. alcohol is alone sufficient
to make any whiskey cost more than
some want to pay tor it, and when
whiskey is sold cheap it is sold mean,
that is when it is sold below the posi-
BILE cost of production.
Whiskey bought at 100 per cent. al.
cohol may be too strong for most peo-
pie, but they always have the privilege
in buying pure whiskey of adding
water to suit their taste, and not pay
ing from So to SO for water, which IL
usually plentiful most everywhere.

shop and went away. He returned with
two doctors. Nothing was told to the
neighbors. but in less than a week the
bride of few short months was taken
away to Bellevue hospital, and the little
tailor worked and lived alone.
1T is nothing he told people who
asked questions of him. "She is sick,
crazy in the head, but it goes away by
and by. Sure it will go away soon as
the baby come. The doctors they say
so. Sure it will go. She hurts nobody
yet. Only it is best she should be quiet.
Soon as the baby is born she gets all
right, and they let her come home
again"
At Bellevue hospital admitted insane
public cases are transferred to the state
institution for the insane on Wards

few days he found his wife had been sent
over as public charge. It was severe

INvENTS AN EXPLOSIVE.
Boy Promises to Revolutionize Great
Industry-Indiana Lad Finds
Remarkable Powder.

Evansville, Ind.-The bursting of a
shotgun and the SCATTERING Of boys
arm has brought to light an inventive
genius in the person of Louis Byrd, a
country boy, of Hazleton, Ind.
Louis Byrd, in search of a way to
cut down his powder and shot bill
during the hunting season, experiment
ed with powder making until he got a
combination of explosives that promise
to bring him fortune. He makes a
white powder, either coarse or fine, as
it is intended for blasting or cunning
purposes, that is twice as powerful as
nitro-smokeless powder and three
times as powerful as ordinary black
blasting powder. 1t can also be manu-
featured several times cheaper than
either. -
The boy secretly sold the explosive
to miners without letting them know
he made it.
Louis brother Carl took three
drachms Of the white powder from his
brothers case and discharged the load
from a gunbarrel. How he escaped
death Is a wonder, for the gunpan was
flattened like fiapjack and the barrel
curved to an arc of 80 degrees. To
the physician who set the boys arm,
Louis Byrd said he had tried out the
powder in the coal mines at Hymera.
Ind, and In other places and had been
offered $4,000 for the formula. =
Byrd has applied for a patent. Two
years ago Byrd's inventive genius
cropped out in the construction of a
drill to distribute onion seed. "

Place Becoming Onentaized Instead Of Ame1canized

The yellow :s~,'l looms more than .
myth over in hawaii. It looks as
though pretty soon there would be no
place for, no need of, white men there.
Once the Jap seemed very tractable,
satisfactory element in the land, fair
ly hard-working, peaceable creature,
willing to labor the day long at a stipend
OF $14 a month and keep" himself. But
he has increased in numbers at an as
founding rate, he has elbowed workers.
both skilled and unskilled, from their
foothold, sent them to seek fortune
somewheres else. Already the Jap
pretty nearly owns Hawaii.
There are some 10000 of him in a pop
plation Of only 154, 900, and add to these
$4,000 Chinese and we find almost 10O,-
600 Orientals, as opposed to about 10,
600 whites. And this sum of whites in
cludes, besides Americans, English, Ger
man, French and a few other Europeans;
SO we may not seem so very far out ct
the way in speaking of the Orientaliza-
ton of this territory of Uncle Sans.
Well, what of 1t; has not it been shown
that the Japs are a wonderfully pro-
gressive, very superior people7
