PURE FOOD.
Pure Whiskey and the Effects Of
Impure Whiskey.

Unless tho rectiiers are too strong,
the present session of Congress is GO
ing topassa Pure Food bill and include
whiskey, If they do, and these recti-
iers are forced to put the Cross Bones
and skull on their products, no man
will sbe foolish enough to buy it, al
though they do it now, and some with
the knowledge that it is not the genu-
inc article.
Who is to blame for this poisonous
stuff No one but the consumer him
self. There are two reasons for this.
Some want whiskey ~thattastes pleasant,
others want it cheap. To the first,
they should know that 100 per cent of
ale oil is standard for pure liquor,
and 100 per cent of pure whiskey will
not drink az pleasant as water. The
Indians calledit Fire Water. This was
before our forefathers knew anything
about thenew way of making imitation
whiskey. 1t was all pure then, conse-
quently, hot, so it is to day when it is
pure. To the second, the tax on every
gallon of 100 per cent Alcohol is Ito,
aud this alone is sufficient to make any
whiskey cost more than some want to
pay for it, and if whiskey is sold cheap
tits sold mean. that is when it is sold be-
low the possible cost of production.
Whiskey bought at 100 per cent of
Alchohol may be too strong for most
people, but they always have the priyil-
eye in buying pure whiskey Of adding
water to suit their taste, and not pay
ing anywhere from $500 to 5000 for
water, which Is surely plentiful most
anywhere.

WONDERFUL CURE
OF SORE HANDS
Nv cuticuFa After the
Most Awful Suffering
Ever Experienced
EIGHT DOCTORS
And Many Remedies Failed
60 do a Cents Worth
Of Good

at was troubled with sore hands, so
sore that when 1 would put them in
water the pain would nearly set me
crazy, the skin would peel off and the
flesh would get hard and break. There
would be blood flowing from at least
fifty places on each hand. Words could
never tell the suffering 1 endured for
three years. I tried everything, but
could get no relief. I tried at least
eight different doctors, but none did
me any good, as my hands were as bad
when l got through doctoring as when
began. I also tried many remedies,
but none Of them ever did me one
cents worth of good. I was discour-
aged and heart-sore. I would feel so
bad mornings, to think 1 had to 90 to
work and stand the pain for ten hours,
I often felt like givingupmy position.
Before 1 started to work / would
have to wrap every finger up sep
arately, so as to try and keep them
soft, and then wear gloves over the
rags to keep the grease from getting
on my work. At night 1 would have
to wear gloves; in fact, I had to wear
gloves all the time. But thanks to
