Habit forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many
OF the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some Journals Of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been of great benefit in arousing needed
attention to this subject, 1t has In q
considerable measure, resulted In the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected OF containing the injurious ingre-
dents complained Of. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo,
N. Y, took time by the forelock," as it
were and published broadcast all the
ingredients OF which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has COM
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines. because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION, Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, 1t will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other hAbIt-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their Ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots OF
medicinal plants found growing In the
depths al our American forests and OF
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead Of alcohol, which even In small

mand to charge with drawn whips The
troopers then charged the crowd, laying
about them right and left.

was cut as If by knives by the wire
thongs of the whips, and her flesh was
horribly lacerated.
The papers are demanding the trial

participated in the affair. Reports Of
both police and private surgeons are

FRANCE FACES
RELIGIOUS CRISIS
Pope's Defiance of Separation
Law ReneWs the Strife.
THE PRESS IS PESSIMISTIC
Some Of the Papers Go So Far as to

Says Religious Crisis Is
Only Fairly Begun.
THE PRESS IS PESSIMISTIC

Paris, Aug. 16.The French press Is
practically agreed that religious war is
now begun, following the publication
yesterday Of the rope's encyclical to
tie archbishops and bishops Of France,
prescribing their attitude with regard 70
The church and state separation law.
Although one of two papers treat the
situation as but little changed, others
perceive severe trials for the church
and possibly even civil war.
The Petit Parisien considers the stu
alton unchanged, but says that the flu
tre depends very largely upon the de-
cision d the bishops. Until that is
rendered, there is no telling how sharp
q crisis may be reached. lie Matin thinks
that the Pope sets the French govern
ment at defiance and believes that the
religious crisis instead OF being brought
to an end by the eneychcal is but fairly
begun.
The Gil Bias declares that il had but
little effect, but at the same time pei
ceiTes great dangers in the present stu
alton.
The Journal warns Catholics that It
viii be dangerous to follow the Pope's
lead, while the Hunanite merely re-
marks that the taking over Of ecclesias-
teal property BY the state has now
become Inevitable
The Lanterne 50 far agrees with the
Matin as to characterize the Pope's at
titude a. defiance and as an insult to
the French people, it demands a rigor-
Gus application OF the law and believes
that by striking at the church itself
the Pope has crowned the hopes Of the
enemies of the Roman Catholic religion.
The EclaiF perceives civil war and on
the whole views the situation most pes
simistically The Libre Parole calls up
Oh Catholics to do their duty. sacrifc-
ing themselves, If necessary, for the
good pf the country. The Gaulois de-
clares that the Pope has inflicted on
the republic its first crushing defeat
since 1871 and thinks that the state will
now collapse.
The Radical characterizes the con.
duct Of the Vatican as inconsistent. IL
points out that the Pope accepts the

TO TEST GAYN0R RULE.
B. R. r. to Fight coney Island De-
cision.

New York, Aug. i6.-A unique plan to
meet Che conditions which have arisen
over tho refusal OF many passengers ON
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company's
lines to pay a double fare to Coney Is
land will be put in practice by the conf
pany. Heretofore. the principal difficulty
has been experienced on the trolley cars
which cross the single fare limit. Most
of these cars now have been withdrawn.
and yesterday passengers who desired
TO visit Coney Island were compelled to
travel the entire distance in elevated
trains OF to transfer from surface cars
to the elevated at the single fare limit.
II is on the elevated trains that the new
plan. which the company believes will
prove solution of the trouble will be
inangurated. These trains. which. are
made up of several cars each, viii be in
two sections. Passengers who express
willingness to pay the double fare will
he placed in The forward cars, while
those who protest against the second
payment will be placed in cars at the
rear. II is the plan Of the company to
make canvass Of the train immediately
after leaving the sigle fare limit line
and when this Il completed to cut of
the cars containing those who refuse to
make d second payment and leave them
on sidetraclS An official Of the com.
pany said yesterday that about 80 per
cent Of the passengers over the line de-
cined to pay the second fare.
General Manager John n Calderwood
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit said yes
terday that attorneys for the company
are preparing case to test Judge Gay
nor's decision. He said that the case
probably viii be ready to be taken to
court today or Friday. Several en-
ployees Of the company who were arrest
ed as result OF Tuesdays disturbances,
were arraigned in Police Court yester-
day. They were paroled in the custody
of attorneys representing the railroad
company.
