SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.

Atchinson (Kan.) Globe.
If a girl is pretty enough, she hard
ly ever has to pay street car fare.
Some men are so clever at explain
ing that they could explain away a
murder.
In our fears for the future none Of
us are much wiser than the child that
is afaid Of the dark.
Some people can claim to know it
all without saying a word. They look
it and act it.
If there is anything in the world
that makes the average person mad it
is to be told that he has everything
in, the world to make him happy
When a mother screams at a child
every time it takes a drink at the ta-
bic, it is a modest way of calling at
tention to the fact that the tumblers
are cut glass.
If a girl remembers in walking to
hold her shoulders back, her stomach
in, her chest out, and her chin up, we
don't see how she can also remember
whether she is coming or going.
We hope we were so ugly and thin
as a baby that no neighbor women
were ever invited to see how cute we
looked in bath tub. Think of a lot Of
women sitting on the bank while you
are in bathing!
The grip has II forms, and when a
man gets rid Of it in one shape it
comes back in another. It is never
safe for him to knock on wood, and
say he is cured, for it will hear and
come back

Mr.. Fl. D. Barnett is replacing his
store on East Liberty street that was
recently destroyed by fire with a small
but handsome imitation stone-front
building. TIE store has frontage
of about 18 feet, will be two stories
high, and will present very attrac-
tive appearance 1t would be most
excellent idea if the other property
owners, who lost their stores in the
same Ere, would replace them with
similar structures.

Tastes of Chewers.

Britons chew tobacco, Americans
chew gum, and Russians chew the
seeds of the sunfower. Every man,
woman and child Of the lower ahd
middle classes chews them, and the
expectorated husks litter streets, rail-
way carriages, restaurants and often
private rooms. The Czarina appar-
emily could think of nothing that
would be more welcome to the soldiers
in Manchuria, and she is said TO have
spent $4,000 in satisfying their
craving for sunhower seeds. AS the
seeds are very cheap that sum repre-
sents an enormous consignment. DR..
Marcou, a French bacteriologist. points
out that the expectoration involved is
highly dangerous to public health. Not
only tubercle bacilli, but the micro
organisms of diptheria, pneumonia
and other diseases are freely distri
buted in this way.-London Globe.

Congressman townsend on Railway
Rate Bill.
HAS PRESIDENTS APPROVAL.
Bill Will Not Confer Power to FIX
All Rates, But Merely to Lower
Rate That Has Been Proven to be
Too High.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Railroad rate
legislation was the topic of a long con-
ference between the president and
Representative Townsend, of Michi-
gan, one of the authors of the Esch-
Townsend bill which was passed last
winter by the house of representa-
tives. At the conclusion OF the con-
ference, which lasted an hour and
quarter, Mr.. Townsend said it was his
purpose to have his bill in readiness
for introduction in the house as soon
as congress convened.
"My effort now" said he, is 10
make certain that it shall cover what
is expected of it. 1t will embody my
ideas and at the same time, am
quite sure it will represent accurate
ly those of the president.
After making it perfectly clear that
the provisions of the measure apply
to private cars, refrigerator cars and
terminal charges, it will be my pur-
pose, through the measure, TO CONFER
upon the interstate commerce CON-
mission the power to make its find
ings, in any particular case, effective
within a reasonable time after they
are announced. Efforts have been
made to create the impression that it
is the purpose of the advocates OF this
legislation to give the interstate COM
merce commission the authority TO
fix all the rates of a railroad. That is
not true. 1t is intended only that the
commission, if complaint shall be
made to it that any particular rates
are unjust, shall have power, after
due investigation, to substitute a rea-
sonable rate in case the complaint
shall have been shown to be well
founded"
do you expect that rate legisla-
ton will be enacted during the ap-
preaching session of congress-
81 have no doubt of it, replied Mr..
Townsend.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
MIR. Porter Thought He Should Go Mac
But Or. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Him.

eft seems like miracle that DR..
Williams Pink Pills should have cured
my neuralgia, said Mr.. Porter. "They
are certainly marvellous medicine and
l am always glad to recommend them.
For two years" he continued, II had
suffered almost uncomfortable pains in my
head. They would start over my eyes
and shoot upward most frequently, but
they often spread over my face, and at
times every part of my head and face
would be full of agony. Sometimes the
pains were SO intense that / actually
feared they would drive me mad.
"My eyes ached constantly and there
was alwaysa burning sensation over my
forehead, but the other pains varied,
sometimes they were acute, and again
they were dull and lingering. I could
not sleep. Ny temper was irritable and
l got no pleasure out of life.
81 tried remedy after remedy, but
finding no help i'll any of them, be-
came despairing man. Even when l
began to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills l
had no great hope of cure.
"That was i'll December of 1908. To
my surprise, a change i'll my condition
took place right away. The pains grew
less intense and the acute attacks were
further apart, as kept OH using DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills. The improvement be-
gan with the first box, and when I had
used six boxes l stopped. My cure was
complete and has lasted ever since"
Mr.. Charles H. Porter lives ut Ray
mond, N. H. He is one of many grateful
people who have found that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills will cure diseases of the nerves
that have stubbornly resisted every other
remedy tried. Not only neuralgia, but
sciatica, partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia yield to them. They are sold by
all druggists, or may be obtained directly

AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
Cverzealous, Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.

Against TtOPiiSeo'y "'SS
Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by Interested
parties. Every now and then some
jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for law to require
every package Of proprietary medi-
cine to be labeled with a printed
statement of the formula showing
lust how it is manufactured. The mil
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines seem to be satisfied; but
the man with a mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or who has
some personal interest to serve Is
the one who agitates the proposition.
To a person who has never taken
time to consider 1t, such proposition
NAV seem reasonable enough; yet 1t
Is in fact nothing more nor less than
a scheme to compel the manufactur-
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy OF every
commercial pirate who might choose
10 food the market with limitations Of
their goods.
Under such conditions the incen-
live for the original manufacturer to
advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure' mainly 10
the benefit of the pirates and imita-
tors. without advertising, the public
would receive little information in
regard to the medicine. and all future
sales would be greatly impaired II
not wholly destroyed. 1t Is mainly by
iudicious advertising that the knowl-
edge of proprietary medicines Is
brought to the public. Nothing is
more certain than that millions Of peo-
pie have found relief at a compare
lively small expense by the use Of
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising
Why. then, should the manufacturer
of fneritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as q condition OF
being allowed to carry II on? Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills mean.-Exchange. US.

TAFT TO BUILD 1T.
The Secretary to Make Trip to the
lsthmus.
Townsend

Washington, Oct. 9.-The manage
ment of the isthmian canal affairs
will remain under Secretary Taft,
who will go to Panama in November
to investigate the situation there and
thoroughly inform himself of the con-
ditions in the canal zone. The de-
cision to keep the control of the canal
in the war department instead of
transferring it to the state depart
ment, was definitely decided in a dis
cussion that followed the cabinet
meeting. Now that the work is to
proceed under his direction, Secretary
Taft will proceed to Panama, so over
the situation in detail and return to
Washington about the time congress
convenes. The secretary has had con-
flicting reports regarding the progress
of the work, the sanitation, the facili-
ties of the officials and laborers. and
he desires to have personal knowledge
which will enable him to decide what
should be done and what recommen-
dations shall be made to congress.
Early next week the secretary VII
take up the subject of finances and
decide as to what recommendations
should be made to congress. Secre-
tary Taft will give every feature of
the canal administration his careful
personal attention.

ALCOHOLIC CANDY.
Have Recently Grown in Public Favor
in London.

IN LOnuOns
The so-called "liqueur-chocolates"
which have recently grown into popu-
lar favor in London are reported to
contain over per cent of pure alco-
hol. Until a few years ago, says the
Lancet, sweets containing a liquid
preparation, chiefly alcohol. sur
rounded by hardened mass of sugar,
were somewhat extensively manu-
featured. The excise authorities woke
ND to the fact that revenue was being
lost to them, and the practice was
stopped, some other fluid replacing
the alcohol. That the liqueur-choco-
lates will be promptly suppressed for
the same reason is probable. AS the
Lancet points out, however, the traf-
fic should be condemned on other and
more important grounds-namely, that
1t might readily lead to actual poison
ing in the case Of young children, or
to the unconscious formation OF an
alcohol habit in older persons.

are graduates of the University OF

MUST PAY MEAT TAGS.
Secretary Wilson to Collect $4,000 a
Year From Packers.


Washington, Oct. 9.-Secretary Will
son brought to the attention of the
president and cabinet determine
ton he had reached regarding the
inspection of meats. He indicated
that, under the law, meat packers
could not be forced to pay the cost
of meat inspection. He had decid-
ed, however, that hereafter the pack
ers should pay for the seals or tags
placed upon inspected meats intend
ed for export. This will bring a rev
enue to the department of agricul-
ture of nearly $4,000 a year. This
sum the secretary proposes to use
in extending the inspection Of meats
to packing houses which have re-
quested that they be given inspec-
tors, but whose requests have not
been complied with because the de-
partment has not had the funds with
which to pay the inspectors. The
idea off, Secretary Wilson was ap-
proved by the cabinet and it will be
put into operation at once.
