Too Much PoIiteness.

King Oscar, of Sweden, once pass
ed through a small town which was
festively decorated and noticed a
large transparent board, bearing the
inscription, Welcome, Your Ma
jesty," hanging from a house. What
house is that?" asked the king. THAT
is the town prison." was the answer.
Whereupon his majesty, laughing,
said: THAT is rather too much pc

PEACE IS DISCUSSED
President Roosevelt Receives Minister
TakahIra.
HE HAD NO SPECIAL MESSAGE.
Only Probabilities of the Meeting of
the PIenipotentiariea which is Elk
pected to Take Place August list
Was Talked of-komura Enroute.

Oyster Bay, July 17.-Important de-
tails concerning the forthcoming
peace conference between plenipoten-
tiaries representing Russia and Japan
and matters relating to the construc-
ton of the Panama canal were under
consideration by President Roosevelt.
He and Mrs. Roosevelt had as guests
at luncheon at their Sycamore Hill
home Minister Kogoro Takahira, of
Japan, Theo. P. Shonts, chairman, and
John F. Stevens, chief engineer, of
the isthmian canal commission, and
Thomas w. Hynes, auditor of Porto
Rico.
Several days ago Minister Takahira
made an agreement to see the presi-
dent regarding the reception of the
peace plenipotentiaries, to be held at
Portsmouth, N. H.
The Japanese minister arrived here
at 1890 o'clock. He was met at the
station by one of the presidents con-
fidential messengers. Assurance was
given that the minister's visit was not
of notable significance. He bore no
special advices to President Roose-
welt from the Japanese government
He discussed with Mr.. Roosevelt
some points about the coming con-
ference, but it is announced that no
date was agreed on for the recep-
ton of the plenipotentiaries by the
president.
Minister Takahira could not posi-
lively state when Baron Komara, the
Japanese minister of foreign affairs,
who is the principal envoy of Japan
to the conference, would reach this
country. He is en- route now from
Japan, and is expected to reach New
York about the 30th instant If Min
lister White, the Russian plenipoten-
tiary, shall have arrived by that time
the reception to the ENJOYS by the
Sycamore Hill on August 1.
The precise date will be determined
by the state department after a con-
ference between the recently appoint
ed secretary of state, Elihu Root, and
the plenipotentiaries. 1t is the expec-
tation that the ENJOYS will come from
New York to Oyster Bay on the May
flower and the dispatch boat Dolphin.
They will be accompanied by Secre-
tary Root and perhaps by other Off
Gals of the state department They
will go directly by the same vessels
from Oyster Bay to Portsmouth,
N. H.
Minister Takahira expressed his
personal qualification at the designa-
ton of M. White as the leading pleni-
potentiary of Russia. He said that
NJ. White was one of Russias most
eminent statesmen, and his appoint
ment would lend confidence and
weight to the conference. He said
that arrangements for the conference
were moving along smoothly and ex-
pressed the hope that a satisfactory
agreement would be reached. Minist-
er Takahira, after taking luncheon
with the president, left Oyster Bay
for New York on the 2:1S train.
Chairman Shonts and Chief Engi-
neer Stevens remained with the presi-
dent some time after the departure
of Minister Takahira. This was the
first opportunity the president had
had to discuss canal matters with Mr.
Stevens and they went over the sub

FROM SAME BOX
Where the Foods Come From.

Look here, waiter, honest now,
don't you dip every one of these faxed
breakfast foods out of the same box?"
We'll, yes, boss, we duz, all 'cept
Grape-Nuts, cause that don't look like
the others and people know zackly
what Grape-Nuts looks like. But
there's bout dozen different ones
named on the bill of fare and they are
all thin rolled flakes so it don't make
any difference which one a man calls
for, we just take out the order from
one box"
This talk led to an investigation.
Dozens of factories sprung up about
three years ago, making various kinds
of breakfast foods, seeking to take the
business of the original prepared
breakfast food-Grape-Nuts These
concerns after precarious existence,
nearly all failed, leaving thousands of
boxes of their foods in mills and ware
houses. These were in several in
stances bought up for song by spec
ulators and sold out to grocers and
hotels for little or nothing. The proc
ess of working off this old stock has
been slow. One will see the names
on menus of faxed foods that went
out of business a year and half or
two years ago. In a few cases where
the abandoned factories have been
bought up, there is an effort to resus-
citate the defunct, and by copying the.
style of advertising of Grape-Nuts.
seek to influence people to purchase.
But the public has been educated to
the fact that all these thin faxed
foods are simply soaked wheat or oats
rolled thin and dried out and packed
They are not prepared like Grape
Nuts, in which the thorough baking
and other operations which turn the
starch part of the wheat and barley
into sugar, occupy many hours and re-
suit in food SO digestible that small
infants thrive on it, while 1t also con-
tains the selected elements of Phos-
plate of Potash and Albumen that
unite in the body to produce the soft
gray substance in brain and nerve
centers. There's a reason for Grape
tations, few of the article itself, but
many more of the kind and character
of the advertising. Imitators are al
ways counterfeiters and their printed
and written statements cannot be ex-
pected to be different than their
goods.

Is ABSOLUTELY PURE
NATURES OWN RESTORATIVE
IN FAvoRITE PRESCRIPTION.
Or. Pierce Announces the Ingredients
Of the Family Medicines Which
Have Made His Name Household
Word In the World.

With all the recent talk about patent
medicines and the determined effort in
certain quarters to cast discredit upon
all household remedies which come I'M
der that head, the fact remains that
some Of these medicines are so firmly
established in popular favor and con-
fldence, have so proved their worth
and value, that all the denunciations
of bigots cannot destroy the peoples
faith in them.
One of the best known of these rem
edies is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, medicine which for years has
been accepted by the people as STAN
dard preparation for the cure of those
ailments to which women alone are
subject and which has proved to be a
certain cure in nine cases out of ten
and sure relief in the other one.
There is nothing to conceal about
the Favorite Prescription. 1t is an abb
solutely pure medicine-made of roots
and herbs, Natures own restoratives.
DR.. Pierce is perfectly willing to let
every one know that his Favorite Pre-
scription contains Blue Cohosh (Caulo-
phyllum Thalictroides), Black Cohosh
(Cimicifuga Racemosa), Lady's Slip
per (Cypripedium Pubescens) and
Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis).
Every doctor knows that such pre-
scription is beneficial in the diseases
of women and when properly COM
pounded is certain to effect cure in
practically all cases when given fair
trial.. Hereafter every bottle OF the
Favorite Prescription will plainly tell
of what the medicine is composed.
Thus DR.. Pierce will once more prove
to the world his own confidence in the
remedy which for forty years has
borne his name and which is known all
over the world as sovereign cure for
those diseases which, unchecked, make
our women old before their time.
There is no alcohol in the Favorite
Prescription. DR.. Pierce never be-
lieved in using alcohol in the prepare
ton of his famous household remedies.
For it he substituted chemically pure
glycerine, which has wonderful prop
critics for extracting the medicinal
principles of roots and herbs and barks
and preserving them at their full
strength, without any deleterious eff
feet whatever.
Your druggist sells the Favorite
Prescription and also that famous
Alternative and blood purifier, the Gold.

Pierce about your case. He is a we'll
qualified physician and will treat your
case as confidential and without
charge for correspondence. Address

Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, of which he Is
Chief Consulting Surgeon.

HEAT is STILL DEADLY.
There Were Thirteen Fatal Prostra-
tions in Greater New York,


New York, July IS. = Thirteen
deaths attributed to the hot weather
were recorded in New York today. In
addition a score or more persons were
overcome by the heat and are under
treatment in the city hospitals.
Despite drenching rainfall during
the forenoon and scattered showers
throughout the day, the thermometer
rose to a maximum of SIS degrees.
During the afternoon the drop was
more decided than for the past five
days and tonight a strong westerly
breeze is bringing a share of relief.
The high humidity and the continu-
ance throughout the night of tempera-
lures varying only slightly from those
of the hottest hours of the day have
caused the heavy fatality attending
the present hot spell in this city.
