Tt Is nine hundred years since the failure of a bank in China" said a bank examiner. "Ove. nfne hundred years ago, in the reign of HI Hung, q bank failed. Hi Huns had the fail ure investigated and to his indigna- tion found 1t had been due to reckless and shady conduct on the part of the director and the president. HI Hung at once issued an edict that the next time bank failed the heads of Its president and directors were to be cut of. This edict, which has never been revoked. has made China's banking in. stitutions the safest In the world"
 The Washington State Fish Commis- sion reports that fish can be frozen solid and thawed back to life, If not exposed to the sun or allowed to get more than twelve to fourteen degrees below the freezing point. Salmon from the Pacific coast could be frozen and transported to the Atlantic coast and resuscitated to full life under proper conditions. The results of this test will be that live salmon, frozen in blocks of ice, may be shipped to the Atlantic coast market before long. The test has not been made. but . com. pany at Taku harbor, in Alaska, will make the experiment.

Erosion by wind and rain has worn these pyramids of sandstone till they resemble tall chimneys of fantastic de. sign, cap lying on cap till 1t would seem that push would topple them to the ground.

MANY CIGARETTES IMPORTED.

Made by Creeks of Greek Tobacco,
 They Are Called Egyptian.
 A controversy which has been going Gn in Europe, and especially in Eng land, as to the rival mecits Of Turk. ish aDd Egyptian cigarett,s seems like ly to be settled by report o. dis interested but observant American con- su..
 Though the United States Is the great cigarette-producing nation of the world, there are importel into this country every year more than $3,OOO,- 0oO worth of foreign-made cigarettes, some Turkish and some Egyptian.
 Turkey Is a large tobacco-producins country, yielding 50,OO0 tons of tobac- So every year, and the Tulks, it is well known, are a nation Of smokers. The amount of tobacco raised In Egypt is inconsiderable, and yet Egyptian garettes are imported Into this coun- try in considerable amounts every year.
 The explanation of the natter, as offered by the American consul in Ath- GUS, Is simple. It seems that the Greek tobacco crop last year was the largest Greece ever harvested-ab) 100000 OCG pounds. A brand of Greek tobac- co is used for Egyptian cigarettes.
 Why, 1t Is asked, Egyptian? The answer Is that Egyptian cigarettes are made by Greeks because cigarette pa- per Is too expensive in Greece, where it Is a government monopoly. Thus the business has gone over to Egypt. The most famous cigarette maRers of Egypt are Greeks.
 A very large business in cigarette r .ak.ng has been established in Alex andr,a, and 1t Is in the hands of Greeks, who import their tobacco from their own country and In turn ship 1t To foreign countries, England and the United States being the chief market for Egyptian cigarettes, which are, in fact.

Kansas has new rule, drawn by the State board of health, which Is an in. teresting contribution to the solution of the pure food problem. "The sale at retail within the State of Kansas for human food of any domestic or wild fowl or game or fish that has been kept in cold storage with entrails. crops and other offensive parts undrawn Is pro- hibited. The service for food of any domestic or wild fowl or game or fish is also prohibited" With each State lies the responsibility of protecting it's people against impure food produced and con- sumed within the State, and many of the States are waking to their respon- slbility.

The Evils of Constipation

are many; in fact almost every serious illness has it's origin In constipation, and some medicines. instead of preventing constipation, add to 1t. This is true of most cathartics, which, when first used, have a beneficial effect. but the dose has to be continually increased, and before long the remedy ceases to have the slightest effect. There is one prepara- tion, however, that can be relied upon to produce the same results with the same dose even after fifty years daily use and this is Brandreth's Pills, which has a record of over 100 years as the stand ard remedy for constipation and all troubles arising from an impure state of the blood.
 Brandreths Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used and can be found in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar. coated.
