TWO JOLTS OF THE
BLUEING BOTTLE.

Mrs. Thomas Moore of 40 Russell
Street was very busy with her house
hold duties yesterday afternoon and
in order to keep him quiet, she gave
Gordon, her 16-months-old boy a bot
tie of laundry blueing to amuse him
self with. Then she went on with
her work and thought little more
about the baby until some minutes
later, when, to her amazement she
noticed that he had taken the cork
from the bottle of indigo and was
drinking the fluid with evident rel
ish.
She hastily took the bottle from
the little fellow and placed it on the
window-sill, while she ran to a
neighbours house to summon aid, fear
ing that the washing fluid was
poisonous When she returned in a
minute she found that Gordon had
again taken possession of the bottle
and seemed bound to drain it. She
again siezed the bottle and tried her
best to make the boy vomit what
he had consumed. DIR. Weis soon ar
rived and administered an emetic
and little Gordon is apparently none
the. worse today for his experience.

BARS MEXICAN LABOR.
Aliens Working on Constructing Rail-
roads Are Ordered Deported.

Washington, Aug 18-An important
question respecting the importation of
labor from Mexico for work into the
United States for railroad construc-
ton in Texas, has been determined by
the department of justice at the in
stance of the department of commerce
and labor
The question was whether men en-
pIoyed as laborers on railroad con-
struction were skilled" or "unskilled'
in the meaning Of the law. The de-
partment of justice, through an opin-
ion rendered by Acting Attorney Gen
eral Charles H. Robb, has decided that
the men are "unskilled' laborers and
that, therefore. cannot, under the law,
be admitted into the country under
contract.
The decision says in part:
''In the act, which is now in force
the distinction between two classes
of labor is still maintained. 1t is
therein provided that neither class
shall be brought in under contract. No
exception whatever is contained in
the act in respect to unskilled labor,
but it is provided that skilled labor
may be imported under certain condi-
tions. That there is a difference in
fact and in law between skilled and
unskilled labor is too plain to admit
Of argument.
''It must also be presumed that con
gress was mindful of this difference in
the enactment of this law. 1t is GER
tainly not for the executive depart
ment of the government to nullify the
Will of congress"
Immediately on receipt of the opin-
ion, Acting Secretary Murray, of com
merce and labor, dismissed the ap-
peals of the aliens and accorded them
to be deported.

A peculiar feature of the case, so

herself because of her infatuation for
c. B. Gray. She told Gray, it is al
legged, that if he did not reciprocate
her Affection she would kill herself.
Just before taking the fatal dose,
she said that Gray had de\ed her to
do 1t. Gray has denied that the girl
was his sweetheart

A Woman's Back

Has many aches and pains caused by
weaknesses and falling, or other displace-
ment, of the pelvic organs. Other symp-
toms of female weakness are frequent
headache, dizziness, imaginary specks or
dark spots floating before the eyes, gnaw-
ing sensation in stomach, dragging or
bearing down in lower abdominal or pelvic
region, disagreeable drains from pelvic
organs, faint spells with general weakness.
If any considerable number of the above
symptoms are present there is no remedy
that will give quicker relief or a more per-
manent cure than DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t has a record of over forty
years of cures, 1t is the most potent
invigorating tonic and strengthening ner-
vine known to medical science. It is made
of the glyceric extracts of native medici-
nal roots found in our forests and con-
tains not drop of alcohol or harmful, or
habit-forming drugs. Its ingredients are
all printed on the bottle-wra pper and at
tested under oath as correct.
Every ingredient entering into vFa-
vorite Prescription has the written en-
dorsement of the most eminent medical
writers of all the several schools of prac-
tice-more valuable than any amount Of
non-professional stimonials-though the
latter are not lacking, having been con-
tributed voluntarily by grateful patients
in numbers to exceed the endorsements
given to any other medicine extant for
the cure of woman's ills.
You cannot afford to accept any medicine
of unknown composition as a substitute
for this well proven remedy OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION, even though the dealer may
make little more profit thereby. Your
interest in regaining health is paramount
to any selfish interest of his and it is an
insult to your intelligence for him to try
to palm off upon you substitute. You
know what you want and it is his busi-
ness to supply the article called for.
