TILMAN A WHISKY EXPERT.

Senator Foraker, while debat-
ing the pure food bill, was get
ting warm on the subject of flu
sci oil in whiskey. He has sub
mitted to several interruptions
and his patience was about ex-
hausted when Senator Tilman
asked him a question. The Ohio
man replied somewhat pettishly,
whereupon Tilman said: II was
head bar-keeper down in South
Carolina when the dispensary
system was inaugurated, and 1
know what / am talking about. -
Mr.. Foraker allowed him to 60
on, and in five minutes the
southerner amply made good his
boast and had shown that he was
the best posted man in the senate
on the making of whiskey, and
had silenced everybody. Forak-
er included: II am not much of
a shark on the taste of whiskey,
but l know all about the making
of it," he ended triumphantly,
and no one could say him nay.

MANS WEAKER HALF.
One Side of the Body Generally NoS
Wholly Developed.

The popular belief is that the
left side is weaker than the right,
and, as in all popular beliefs, there
is much truth in this. In most
cases the right arm is decidedly
stronger than the left, the bones
are larger and the muscles more
vigorous.
When we come to consider the
lower limbs, however, we find pre-
cisely opposite state of affairs. The
left leg is stronger than the right in
the great majority of cases. This
want of symmetry is noticeable all
through the body. Nine times out
of ten we see better with one eye
than with the other and hear better
with the left than with the right
ear or vice versa.
Not only so, an injury to the
body, burn or a cut, for instance,
causes more paincon one side than
it would were it inflicted on the
other. Even diseases attack one
side on their first onset in prefer
ence to the other. Eczema, yari-
cose veins, sciatica and even tuber-
culosis begin invariably to mani
fest themselves on our weaker side.
A blistering plaster, too, Will pro-
woke an eruption only if applied to
the right side in certain individuals;
in others only if applied to the left
side.
The simplest way apparently of
discovering which is our weaker side
is to observe which side we lie upon
by preference in bed, as it is GER
tain that we will instinctively adopt
the attitude which is most agree
able or, rather, which causes the
least Inconvenience. In other words,
We will lie upon the side the mus
cles of which, being more vigorous,
are less sensible to the pressure
upon them Of the weight of the
BODY.
Statistics and observation so to
prove that in about three cases out
of four It Is TIE left side which is
the wcaher, thus giving reason to
the popular dictan. Curiously
enough, however. pneumonia, it has
been noticed, unlike most diseases,
usually attacks at first the right
that Is to say, the stronger side OF
the body.

REDUCE FREIGHT RATES
Rock Island Gives Denver Dealers
Egress to kansas Jobbers Territory

Denver. Col, Sept. 17.-Through the
efforts of Thomas c. Scott, traffic man
ager of the Colorado Manufactures as
sociation, a territory heretofore tabooed
ground for Colorado shippers is thrown
open.
g. W. Martin, general agent for the
Rock Island, has announced that a
horizontal reduction of 20 per cent will
be made by the Rock Island on Colorado
shipments as far east as Levant, Kan.
Millions of dollars worth of business,
heretofore untouchable. is thereby
thrown open to Colorado manufacturers
and jobbers by the action of the Rock
Island road. This gives the Colorado
manufacturers egress into a section of
the country from which it has been
debarred by the high rates: it throws
open to them the eastern part of Col
orado, and gives that part of the state
an opportunity to take its part in the
home industry movement.
