The Dieting Nuisance.

The dieting fad prevails to such an
extent in England that numbers of
well known hostesses have put their
heads together and drawn up a declar-
alton of independence, This sent out
with all invitations to country houses
reads thus: Il am sorry to appear in
hospitable, but my housekeeper and
cook cannot arrange to cater for any
guest who is obliged to diet" The
food faddist, it seems, das become no
end of a nuisance in other peoples
houses, and though the hostesses might
be willing to endure it, the servants
have risen in revolt. Complications
arise when it is necessary to feed at
the same table the carnivorous, the
gramniyorous and the frugivorous.-

The Dalai Lama Located.

The Dalai lama. or leader of the Bud
dhist religion, who fed from Lhasa on
the approach of the English expedition
which laid bare the secrets of the forbid
den Tibetan city some months ago, has
been located by Dr. Tafel, German ex-
plorer, in a monastery at Gombum, near
the Iibetan border. He describes the
lama as a very small man of the true
Tibetan type. He was employed in ex-
aiming candidates for the priesthood
These, with the attending priests, were
squatted on the ground while the lama
walked to and fro among them asking
questions. When the answer was incor-
rect, the lama clapped his hand over the
speakers mouth. as if to prevent him
from disclosing his ignorance. Dr. Tafel
is said to be the first European who has
ever stood face to face with the pope of
Buddhism

DRUG Trust is ENDED.
Court Enjoins Combine on Complaint


OF Government.
The so-called drug trust" was per-
petual,y enjoined from continuing It's
operations by the entering of a decree
in the United States Circuit Court for
the district of Indiana on the complaint
of the United States government filed
by Joseph B. Healing. United States
District Attorney The defendants,
ninetytwo in number. who are the
members, officers, directors, agents and
attorneys of the National Association
of Retail Druggists, the Wholesale
Druggists Association, tripartite pro-
prietors, blacklist manufacturers "di-
rect contract proprietors,' wholesale
contract proprietors'' and Charles c.
Bombaugh, are perpetually enjoined
from combining and conspiring to re-
strain trade in drugs, fix prices by
agreement, blickiist retailers who cut
prices, or to refuse TO sell to any re-
taller on equal terms.
Ali publication of blacklists is for
hidden and all contracts and agree
ments covered by the charges are de-
clared void The direct contract serial
number plan is prohibited as well as
the securing of the adoption of sched-
ules for the sale of drugs.
Charles C. Bombaugh was charged
in the bill of complaint with being en-
gagged in printing and circulating lists
called blacklists. which contained the
names of druggists throughout the
country who sold proprietary articles
and medicines at prices less than those
which the alleged combination ordered
AS charged, he would send 4 list each
month to every retail and wholesale
druggist in the United States who be-
longed to the association of those ac-
cused of cutting prices and as a result
of this these aggressive cutters, as
they were called, could not buy goods
1t was further charged that those ac-
cused of cutting prices on proprietary
medicines were unable to purchase any
kind of drugs from the members of the
several associations. All such practices
are perpetually enjoined.
The decree entered was dictated by
the government attorneys and agreed
to by the defendants. With the enter
ing of the decree the litigation came
to an end with complete victory for
the government.

What Do They Cure?

The above question is often asked con-
corning Dr. Pierce's two leading medi-

STOMACH ON STRIKE
SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT
FOR INDIGESTION.
Or. Williams Pink Pills Cured This
Woman and Have Cured Many
Hundreds of Other Gases of
Common Ailments

Hundreds of Other Gases of
Common Ailments
Loss of appetite, coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache
and dull, sluggish feeling-these are
the symptoms of stomach trouble. They
indicate that the stomach is on q strike;
that it is no longer furnishing to the
blood the full quota of nourishment that
the body demands, hence every organ
suffers.
There are two methods of treatment,
the old one by which the stomach is
humored by the use of predigested foods
and artificial ferments, and the new one
by which the stomach is toned up to do
the work which nature intended of it.
A recent cure by the tonic treatment is

Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says:
II suffered constantly for years from
stomach trouble and terrible backaches

time, but did not seem to get better.
II was completely rundown and was
not able to do my work about the house.

three to four days. I could get but little

pounds in weight and became very ner-

began to gain il weight and health.
was encouraged by this to keep on until
1 was cured. My friends and neighbors
often remark what changed woman
am and 1 owe it all to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills"
These wonderful pills are useful in a
wide range of diseases such as anBmia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headaches, and even locomotor ataxia
and partial paralysis.
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stipulated to do its work.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt
