MINT, THE PRESIDENTS OWN.
Temperance Visitor Discovers Herb
in White House Grounds.

Recent visitors to the White House
are satisfied they have discovered the
real reason for the exclusion OF re-
porters from the White House grounds
in the presence OF a luxuriant mint
bed bordering the floral semicircles
Just below the terrace, says the New
York Press. Other presidents have
made no secret of their liking for the
fragrant herb or of the use to which
they thought it lent itself most pleas
antly, but Cleveland and Arthur, both
of whom liked their julep. thought too
highly of the properties OF mint to
rus its rearing to the official gar.
dener. SO they got their supplies d.
rect from John Chamberlin.
Mint in the White House grounds Is
said to be a distinct innovation, and
it is a fact that there was non during
Mckinley's tenancy there. since both
to him and to Mrs. Mckinley the scent
was unpleasant. In these nerverack'

THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes in With the New laW-Paul
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State
Of New York has opened up a promis.
ing field for both men and women
With brains and energy In the sale Of
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies. each Of
which practically bears the hall mark
Of the State of New York, and this new
order of things has established the
sale Of life insurance on q correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
extravagant allowances to agents has
driven out OF the business the old
type Of insurance agent, who In many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead of selling 1t.
His place is being taken by profes.
sors, lawyers. school teachers OF both
sexes, and others, who find that being
. life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all OF the
commission now goes to the agent.
Life insurance Is something that
everyone needs and under the pres.
ont system Its sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.

TELLS HOW TO MIX RECIPE.
Directions TO Prepare Simple, Yet
 Remarkable Home Mixture.

A we'll known authority on Rheumatism gives the readers of large New York daily paper the following valuable, yet simple and harmless prescription, which any one can easily prepare at home.
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar- saparilla, three ounces.
 Mix by shaking well in a bot tie, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
 He states that the ingredients can be obtained form any good prescription pharmacy at small cost, and, being of vegetable ex- traction, are harmless.
 This pleasant mixture, if taken regularly for few days, IS said to vercome almost any case of Rheumatism. The pain and swelling, if any, diminishes with each dose, until permanent results are obtained, and without iuiur. ing tue stomach. While there are many so-called Rheumatism remedies, patent medicines, etc, some of which do give relief, few really give permanent results, and the above will, no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many suf. ferers here at this time.
 llquiry at the drug stores oi this ne ghborhood elicits the in. lorna ton that these drugs are harmle ' and can be bought sepa. rately, fr the druggists here will mix tue prescription for our read. CTS if asked for.
