New Years Day

will be here pretty soon, ana, say It. doesn't seem one year ago since we began preparations to celebrate the beginning of a new year. Well, tune certainly goes by quickly, but we must remember that no matter no" short time may seen, We must pro long our lives as best we can. Ana the very first thing we must LOOK out for is, What do we drink? II you drink milk make sure it's pure, TOT the Lord knows we pay enough per ouart to have it pure. If you drink cheap. trashy tea or coffee, the kind that puts bad taste in your mouth and takes your appetite away, stop it at once and call at our store and get the nice tasting kind; it doesn t cost you any more-only 40 cents Der pound and up. But if you are drinking the world wide evil, the intoxicant which cleans out your pocket, leaves no bank account, takes away your happiness ana health and deprives you of your in tellectuality, for heavens sake cut it out" and begin drinking OUR tea, coffee and buttermilk. And there's no time as appropriate to swear off as the New Year, the very first day. Just stop it for one month and when you see how much better you feel make it six months. and at the end of six months you will surely make it a year. At the end of the year, when you see how much money you saved, how much happier in mind and how strong in body you will feel, you'll remember on New Years day, 1909, to call and wish a happy new year to

DANGER OF EPIDEMIC GROWS
Renewed Efforts to Remove New
York's Garbage.

New York, July 2.-Renewed efforts
we're made during the day by the
street cleaning department to obtain
men to break the strike of the garbage
drivers. While the health department
Is aiding the street cleaning depart
Uent In removing the piles of refuse
the work Is slow and the menace of a
serious epidemic grows daily greater.
Conditions on the East Side are fast
becoming intolerable. Great heaps OF
decaying garbage and filth fill the
streets, making the passage of cars
and trucks difficult. Odors from these
piles of refuse are waited through the
air into the densely crowded tene-
ments and escape from the fetid gases
Is impossible. Fortunately cool wealth
er and rain have relieved situation
which would otherwise be unbearable.
The board of health Is spraying these
decaying piles with disinfectants to
prevent the development of disease.
DR.. Darlington, the health commits
sioner, hopes to keep the situation well
in hand. The authorities say that few
men apply for the positions Of the
strikers

EVACUATION OF CUBA.
Secretary Taft Throws Additional
Lluht on His Plans.

Washington, July 2.-Secretary Taft
has thrown some additional light upon
his plans respecting the American
evacuation OF Cuba by sending the
following cablegram to Governor Ma
goon at Havana:
Il am In receipt of telegram from
General Leonidas Castillo as to some
thing have said with reference to the
restoration of Cuba to the republic.
The plan for the devolution of the
government of the island upon the
person to be selected by fair elec-
tion as outlined in my letter to You
has not been changed In the slightest.
The question of the time within which
that can be worked, due to the doubt
as to the time In which the census
can be taken, Is a mere matter of
opinion. Please advise General Cas-
tillc accordingly"

q union meeting. The letters devei-
oped nothing against the law and or
der as had been mentioned by the
speakers or interviews with members
OF tho union. Following Bailey's re-
ports came the report of an operativs
named Rainier in Cripple Creek.
Rainier declared under date Of Sept.
9. 1908. that the miners claimed to
have all the best of it, but unless
there was break In the Mine Own
ers' association the operative thought
their claims were doubtful Rainier
reported that he heard no radical talk
or threats from the miners and that
each miner acted as a committee of
one to stop all disputes and disturb
ances. The soldiers and miners seemed
to be growing quiet and friendly and
pathy for the strikers.
Mr.. Darrow next read two lengthy
reports from Pinkerton Operative j.
N. Londoner. now assistant captain In
the Denver office. The reports were
from Victor, Colo, at the time OF the
Independence depot explosion, June 6,
1904. Londoner told graphically Of
the intense excitement prevailing in
the Cripple Creek district at this time
and the threats made against the
union.
Il was made deputy as soon as |
showed my face" Londoner wrote,
"and was told to kill any union man
or sympathizer who spoke to me-"
The operative wrote that at the
time Of his writing there was strong
talk OF taking the leaders of the union
from the "bullpen" and hanging them.
The citizens demanded the resigna-
tion of Sheriff Robertson. He de-
clined. They got rope and put a
moose about his neck. He was given
FIVE minutes In which to decide. Rob-
ertson looked at the mob. He then
sat down and wrote his resignation.

Plan to Boycott American Goods
Being Seriously Considered.
DANGER POINT NEAR AT HAND
Toxic Dispatch Says Although War ls
Not Dreamed of the Mutual Feel
ing of Good Will and Friendship Is
Likely to Be AIienated.

Toxic, July 2.-The impression Is
growing here that the anti-Japanese
feeling and demonstrations In San
Francisco are the outcome of deeply
laid plan based upon racial hatred and
the recent developments appN'ently
support this impression. The news
papers here which had special corre-
spondents of American nationality in
San Francisco have ceased to receive
news from them. No explanation was
offered for the discontinaance of news
dispatches, but the impression here is
that pressure was brought to bear
upon the correspondents In San Fran
cisco not to serve the Japanese papers.
The fear Is expressed that the danger
point will soon be reached. AltE11"gh
war Is not dreamed of the, !.
feelings of good will and frf ~
will be seriously alienatad il ploni
measures are not taken to allay u Z
general indignation Lere against the
latest discrimination in San Fran
cisco, which, according to Japanese
contention, is a fragrant violation Of
treaty rights.
Apparently certain measures OF re-
taliation are seriously being contem-
plated by influential men in political
and business circles. Just what action
will be taken has not yet developed,
but a boycott against American goods,
it is believed, will certainly be one of
the steps taken.

feIler Home.

Cleveland, July 2.-United States
Marshal Chandler was an early visitor
at Forest Hill, the suburban home OF
John d. Rockefeller Chandler, how
ever, did not get farther than the
lodge at, the entrance of the estate.
Patrick Lynch, the lodge keeper, de-
clared positively that Mr. Rockefeller
was not at Forest Hill. A carriage
entered the gates about this time and
the marshal stopped 1t long enough
to inspect the occupants. Mr.. Rookie
feller was not in the vehicle, however.
and it proceeded up the hill to the
Rockefeller residence.
Marshal Chandler, upon being Ques-
toned as to whether he had a sub
poena for Mr. Rockefeller, declined to
discuss the subject.

A LITTLE MIXED.

a New York broker. "He was a splen-

tell fish stories, for in his case these
stories were always no less amusing
than true
Mr.. Story was once fishing for tar
pom in Florida, He fished from a mo-

cracker, a Florida cracker.
Suddenly the cracyker cot r',,

presto, he was slasning and foun-

Drop your rod shouted Mr.. Story
and he started the motor, and in a few

A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE.

Boarding school French is proverbial-
ly useless, but it rested with a bright
Washington girl to show how little
knowledge might sometimes be not
such a dangerous thing.
She was crossing the st. Lawrence
one morning early on her way to Muir
ray bay. A cold, damp fog hid every
thing but the oily water over the side
of the steamer, the trip which always
takes an hour seemed likely to be
heightened out indefinitely, and long
night railway journey had left her
worn out.
There was not a thing to eat to be
bought on the boat, and the French
Canadian sailors seemed perfectly care
less as to her welfare. Moreover, as
she passed the galley there steamed
forth the most inviting scent of coffee.
She paced backward and forward
wondering if some one would not take
pity on her. She knew there was some
French phrase in her book at home
which would exactly fit the situation,
but remember it she couldn't. She
grew more and more desperate until a
flash of genius came to her.
She stood outside the galley door and
with an emphatic gesture exclaimed:
Mon dieu! quelle belle smelIe!"
Boarding school French triumphed,
and in minute she was presented by
a smiling sailor with an enormous bowl
of coffee
