Keep Your Blood Pure,

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with a body full of blood
that cannot do it's duty to every part
because of its impurity; therefore the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood so that every
organ will get the full benefit of a
healthy circulation. There is no rem
edy so good as that old family REM
edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con-
tains one grain of the solid extract of
sarsaparilla blended with two grains
of a combination of pure and mild
vegetable products, making it blood
purifier uneXcelled in character. One
or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

The Bird in Hand,

Instead of getting angry, Clarkson
was rather amused at the actions of
his pet waiter. For two years he had
dined at the same restaurant almost
daily and August knew his ever,
wish and had always been llDe.ahy
tipped, says the New York Press.
That day, however. Clarkson was
shamefully neglected. He had to ask
for butter, his napkin was damp and
soggy, the particular sauce he liked so
well was not on the table and. in fact,
August was the antithesis of de.
voted servitor. All his attentions
seemed concentrated upon man at
an adjoining table. August lowered
about him like a bee around a flower.
anticipating every wish and bringing
him sundry little extras.
The customer was evidently stran-
ger. Clarkson could not recall having
seen him before, and from his long
patronage of the place he had come to
know all the regular customers by
their faces at least. His curiosity got
the better of him and as he was leav-
ing, after bestowing the customary
tip, he asked
why Is 1t. August, that you have
been so attentive to that man and so
neglectful of me? Is he in the habit
of giving extra large tips?"
"Oh, no, m'sieu'." said August. "He
Is stranger. He has never been here
before" Then he added apologetical.

Master of Many LANGUAGES.

Gen. Picquart, French minister OF
war. is sort of Admiral Crichton
for, besides wide general cultivation,
he reads, writes and speaks Russian
German and English and Italian. Such
knowledge of language is not common
with Frenchmen. even those OF ed3ca

planned, perhaps, by the fact thaat he
is an Alsatian. The Alsatians have

Peru Claims kurokI.

Gen. Kurol1i, the famous Japanese
soldier, has been variously described
as of Polish, Russ'"- and German eX-
traction. Another interesting chap
ter has been added to this genealogical
symposium by an official publication
in the Official Gazette, of Lima, Peru,
which makes the claim, and submits
a plausible statement of facts to prove
it, that Kuroki's father was a Peruvian
patriot whose name was Transito
Charroqui. 1t is also declared that
the generals father was descendant
of the Incas, who themselves are be-
lieved to have been descendants of an
Asiatic race, so Kuroki is an atavism
and has come into his own in the land
of his fathers.

Interesting Facts Regarding Its Coffee,
.F!avoring Extracts, Baking Pow
der and Other Manufacturing
and Wholesale Business.

The great wholesale grocery house
of the c. S. Morey Mercantile Company
In Denver gives special attention to it's
coffee trade, having as fine a coffee
roasting plant as there is in the coun-
try, with a roasting capacity of one
hundred and fifty bags of green coffee
a day. It's experiments show that in
the dry climate of Colorado coffee
should not be held too long after roast
ing, and hence all coffee is shipped as
soon as possible after it has been
roasted. The great success this firm
is having with it's high-grade package
coffees, such as Solitaire, Yampa, Cap
itol, and many others, is due to the fact
that no expense is spared in keeping
the blends and grades uniform and al
ways up to the standard.
Their coffee expert is one of the very
best in the country and he is in
structed to buy only the best coffees re-
gardless of cost. The constant and i'm
mense increase in their coffee business
shows that this fact is appreciated by
the public.
Another growing branch of it's man.
ufacturing business is that of it's Soil
taire fiavoring extracts, for which an
additional story has just been COM
pleted for laboratory use. None but
the very finest of Mexican and Bour-
bon vanilla beans are used for Morey's
Solitaire Vanilla, which is aged at
least twelve months before it is
shipped and only the best oil of
lemon that can be obtained is al
lowed in Morey's Solitaire Lemon. All
their Solitaire extracts are as good as
any made.

will do the work of any cream tartar
powder on the market but which is it.
self a phosphate powder, is another Of
the firms popular and staple produc-
tions, which is winning favor as being
quite as efficient and more wholesome
than cream tartar powders.
Grinding and packing of high-grade,
absolutely pure spices is another spe-
cialty that is bringing credit to the
firm name.
The company is also direct impor-
ter of teas, in which it does large
business.
The grocery part of the business is
divided into departments each under
the management of a man who has
made a study for years of the goods in
his particular line.
From one hundred to one hundred
and twenty-five men are employed all
the time, including thirty statesmen
who cover all of Colorado and parts of
Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona and
Utah regularly.
The company's immense building on
Sixteenth street, near the Union depot,
on the car lines, is one of the most
notable private business buildings in
the city, and shelters an army of en-
plOyes. 1t is one of the institutions
that make Denver and stand for Colo
RADIO enterprise.
The reputation of the house is firmly
founded on the purity and genuine
character of its products, which are in
every instance fully up to the stand
ard prescribed by the pure food laws,
and all goods under the Solitaire label
are guaranteed absolutely by the pack
ers or manufacturers.
