LEARN TO EAT.
Few People in Laramie Really Know
How.

Slow eating will solve one-half the
problem Of i'll health. Those who suf.
fer already with indigestion and weak
stomach can with care and the use OF
Mona stomach tablets restore their
digestion to a healthy condition, SO
that they can eat what they want at
any time without fear of distress or
suffering.
After a few days use of Mona sto'
mach tablets, the headache, dizzy feel'
ing, drowsiness, had taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, nervousness, sleepless'
ness, distress after eating-all these
symptoms of a weak stomach-will dis.
appear, and perfect digestion and a
good skin will show that the vital ma.
chinery is once more running smoothly,
Take a little Mona tablet before
each meal so that it will stimulate the
digestive juices and give strength tc
the stomach, and then it will take care
of the food that is eaten, without in
digestion and the unpleasant full feel
ing with which so many suffer after
meals.

A few days ago The Republican re
printed a portion of a business letter
received from Mr.. H, A. Littlefield OF

impression that a manufacturing firm
intended coming here to locate. This
morning the following letter from the
same writer was received:
81 am exceedingly sorry If by using
the letter paper of our firm l gave you
the idea that they were to locate in
Laramie. 1t is simply myself, the
bookkeeper, who will locate there. The
firm say l need not make the correc-

The error is regrettable, but Mr..
Littlefleld's note, dated at Amesbury,

ABOUT THE SUEz CANAL.

The Suez canal connects the Mediter.

from Port Said. on the Mediterranean,
to Suez, on the Red Sea. distance OF
81 miles. OF this, 90 miles is actual
canal and 81 miles lakes. The canal
Is without locks.

Der II, 1860 and took ten years to
build. 1t was built by company or.

total cost OF construction was $50 000,.

of its length. it was 327 feet wide at
the suface OF the water, 70 feet wide
at the bottom and 20 feet deep. For

In recent years it has been widened

quirements of the immense traffic pas.
sing through it. A canal was also
built in connection to bring fresh water
to the Suez from hte Nile at a point
near Cairo. This canal reaches the Suez
at Ishmilla and then runs almost par.
allell to the salt water canal at Suez.
1t is about 40 feet wide and 0 feet
deep and is also used for navigation
as we'll as irrigation. In 1875 the Brit.
ish government bought the interest OF
the viceroy of Egypt in the suez canal.
The building OF the Suez canal short
ened the sailing distance from London
to Bombay from 1920 miles to 6332
miles. The trade OF the world now
passes through the canal, and its traffic
is constantly increasing. March |, 1877,
navigation at night was commenced by
the use of electric lights, thus shorten
ing the time OF passage from 20 hours
to 20 hours.
During the year 1894. 1852 vessels pas
sed through the Suez canal and the re.
ceipts from tolls were Sl5.000,O00. In
1874 only 1864 vessels went through.
Last year the business was larger than
ever, but it has been noted that not a
single vessel flying the American flag
went through the canal. Of course, a
large portion of the commerce was to
and from the United States, but it was
carried on foreign bottoms.
The receipts from tolls are now 20
per cent per year of the cost of the
canal, and Suez canal stock pays good
dividends every year out of the net
earnings.

NO EXTENSION ON LABELS.
Food Inspection Board Refuses Request
of Wholesale Grocers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.--Announce.
ment was made today that the board
of food and drug inspection has refused
to recommend to the three cabinet Of
ficels having final say in the matter
an extension of another year, or until
Oct, !, 1909, of the privilege of using
labels On food products that did not
contain a misstatement as to the char.
acter of the contents, instead of labels
prescribed by the board under the terms
of the pure food and drug act.
Recently the Wholesale Grocer's As
sociation and individual wholesalers
and jobbers throughout the country, re.
qpested the board of food and drug in.
spection to recommend the extension OF
the privileges for another year, or until
Oct. /, l908.. The board announces that
in its opinion sufficient time has clap
sed for manufacturers, jobbers and
wholesalers to adjust their business af-
fairs to the terms of the law and Of
the regulations The general impression
seems to exist that the use Of corrected
labels will not be permitted after Oct
/, next.
ANY person has a right to use a label
which is not false or deceptive in any
particular, even though this result is
arrived at through the use of stickers,
erasures or other suitable means. The
board directs attention to the fact,
however, that misleading and deceptive
statements must be obliterated from the
labels.
