Sale of seidlitz powders is prohibited in Siam. Some fifty years ago Phra Mongkut, the then ruling emperor, bought box of seidlitz powders from a trader missionary, and, misinterpret- ing the instructions on the lid, mixed the six blue papered powders into one tumbler of water and the six white papered ones into another. Then he proceeded to swallow the resultant de- coctions, one after the other. The re- suit to the monarch may be imagined. In consequence of this the further sale of the remedy in question was prohib- ited-~a prohibition which still remains in force.

THE GRIP

"Before we can sympathize with others, we must have suffered our selves" No one can realize the suffer ing attendant upon an attack of the grip, unless he has had the actual ex- perience. There is probably no disease that causes so much physical and.men tai agony, or which so successfully de- fies medical aid. All danger from the grip, however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Among the tens ofthousands who have used this remedy, not one case has ever been reported that has resulted in pneumonia or that has not recovered. For sale by J. Heubner.

 Rebate Cases In Chicago.

Chicago October 2.-William A. Suf- ferns of Decatur Ills, was the first wit ness at todays session of the interstate commerce commission, which has resumed it's investigation of the alleged rebate cases Suffern said that he entered the grain exporting business over. nine years ago. Three years ago, he said, he dis covered that Harris, Scotten & Co., grain men of Chicago, and Rosenbaum & Co. were receiving an elevator allowance at New Orleans of cents per 100 pounds from the Illinois Central railroad.
 "The rate on grain for export via New Orleans was 12 cents per hundred" said the witness Two cents of that went to the export elevator interest, and the remainder to the railroad. The rebate al- lowed the firms prevented me from com peting with them In the European mar kets. I discovered they were offering They had an actual advantage of 1K cents.
 "I quit the export business last winter because I could not live, let alone make anything
 R d. Barr of New Orleans told a similar story.
 In regard to the export situation at New Orleans, he said the Illinois Central rail- road Is heavily interested fn export ele- vators in New Orleans, and that 1t leases one of its houses to Harris, Scotten & Co. In view of this, he said, the elevator owned by the railroad interest gets the allowance of cents, and the same thing is true in the case of the leased elevator.

 "The Player Maid" as presented Satur- day afternoon and night was one of the most delightful comedies that has been seen in Knoxville in several seasons. Miss Davis Is a gifted actress who to be properly appreciated, must be seen and heard"
