The ideal Family Laxative.

is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. These
properties can be found In that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills. be-
cause it's ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill Is kept
for three years before being sold.
which allows them to mellow. We dc
not believe there is a laxative on the
market that is so carefully, made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.

The Zulu War Crv.

The Zulu war cry, used whenever
they take the field by the South Afri-
can footballers now in London, has
puzzled our newspapers, not one of
which seems able to spell it correctly,
says Notes and Queries. The Daily
Express gives it as "Igamilzho." and
the Daily Mail as "Gammillo." The
cry really consists Of two words, and
should be written "Igama layo."
"Igama" is Zulu for name" and
"layo" is a possessive pronoun, mean
ing either Ibis" or their" Thus the
Daily Mail, although quite wrong in
its photography Of the cry, is right in
saying that it merely means That is
his name" The explanation is that
Zulu etiquette does not allow warriors,
when they rush into battle, to men
ton the names of their enemies, but
the leaders shout out THAT is his
name" pointing TO the victims with
their spears.

4 Particularly Painful Form Of This
Disease Yields to Or. Williams
Pink Pills.

OF the many forms which rheumatism
takes, tnat which is popularity known as
sciatic rheumatism probably fortunes its
victim more than any other. That DR..
Williams Pink Pills have cured this
stubborn as well as painful trouble is
fact proven by the following statement,
and no sufferer who reads this can af-
ford to let prejudice stand in the way Of
trying these blood-making pills.
Rheumatism Is now generally re-
cognized as a disease of the blood. DR..
Williams Pink Pills Enthusiastically
make-pure blood. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism. Mrs.
Thomas Bresnehan, of 81 Mill street,
Watertown, N. Y, says:
"My trouble began with q severe cold
which l took about week before
Christmas in 1904. I began to have
rheumatic pains i'll my back and limbs
and after time l couldn't straighten
up. | suffered the most awful pain for
months and much Of the time was un-
able to leave the house and had to take
hold of chair i'll order to walk and
sometimes L could not stand up at all.
1.-The disease was pronounced sciatic
rheumatism and, although had good
physician and took his medicine faith
.ully, | did not get any better. After
some six weeks OF this terrible pain and
differing l tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and that is the medicine that cured
ne. After few boxes the pain was
ess intense and | could see decided i'm
,rovement. l continued to take the pills
until l was entirely cured and l have
ever had any return of the trouble"
All druggists sell DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, or the remedy will be mailed post
aid, on receipt of price, 90 cents per
,ox, six boxes for 81. so, by the DR.. Will
ans Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

FIRE IN INSANE ASYLUM.

 Large Building in Middletown Burned
 Yesterday-A Bystander Loses His Life.
 Middletown, June 1.-Great excite ment was caused among the patients at the Connecticut Hospital for the h. sane here this morning, and one life, that of a bystander, was lost during a fire which completely consumed the large brick and stone amusement hall, which is wing of the main hospital building.
 F. L. Lichenstein, manager, secretary and treasurer of the Merchants Silk company, of South Farms, was the per- son killed. He was crushed by the fall ing of one of the walls of the burning building as he was watching the fire. The fire was discovered shortly after midnight by watchman who slept in the basement of the building. The fire started there in some manner at present not determined, and quickly spread throughout the building.
 The building, which was four-story structure, had been fitted up as thea ter, with a stage and scenery and other properties It was fitted to seat FOG persons, and the recent improvements had cost about $20,OOO
 The fire department connected with the institution was called out and fought the fire for two hours, when owing to the insufficient pressure of the water, they were unable to reach the top story. The patients in the main building, which adjoins the amusement hall, while not in real danger at any time, were greatly excited and it re- quired the most diligent efforts of the keepers to prevent a panic. At one time all the patients were made ready fo1 removal, and so great was their alarm that 1t will be some time before some of the most affected will fully recover.
 MT. Lichenstein, who boarded ir South Farms, was warned that he was standing too close. He turned to walk away and as he did so one of the walls l.toppled and fell, stones and bricks fall ing on him and crushing him to death
 The probable loss is $2o,OoO; fully in sured.
