A BAD DAY PROMISED
 THt FRENCH PREMIER
4 Combination Formed of the Govern ments Old Time Opposition EIe- ments.

Paris. June 2T.-President Clemen- seau tomorrow may have to face one of the most serious ordsals of his re- markable career. All the extreme left groups. with which he has been affil- lated in the past are now on the war path because, as they allege he turned his back on his former associates and since May l has resorted to methods tion in the rebellious region in the south, irrespective of party, are also against him.
 Almost a score of interpellations had been introdced in the chamber of dep uties covering the general policy of the government, the employment of troops, bloodsheG in the south and other matters. and M. Blanc. a unified socialist. this afternoon was dissuaded only with difficulty from asking for Clemenceau's impeachment but the premier's resourcefulness is tradition al He has been the hero of so many parliamentary battles that his friends say he will triumph tomorrow.
 The moderate republicans endorse his course and many members of the right. although they bitterly oppose him personally, will probably vote to sustain the ministry.
 Business interests throughout the country are alarmed at the growing Reorganization that prevades the masses and the general sentiment fav- ors a more conservative rather than more radical government. The pre- mier announced tonight that reports received from the projects in the dis turbed area show that pacification is progressing so rapidly that he soon hopes to order the withdrawal of troops.

THE MASK OF HEALTH.
Few People Are Really as Well a'
 They Look. Cause and Remedy.

Many people in Phoenix. both men and women, who believe themselves to be in perfect health, are often in the greatest danger.
 Indigestion. which is so common a trouble, is the principal cause of the greater share of the general poor health It has misleading symptoms that seem to have no reference to the stomach, such as headache, sleepness- ness. specks before the eyes. pains in the back and side. etc.
 The success of physicians every where with the prescription that is now embodied in Mi-o-na stomach tablets has made this remedy in the last few years the acknowledged spe- cific for the treatment of stomach dis eases. The secret of this success lies in the fact that Mi-o-na Is prepared expressly to strengthen the digestive organs and it's use for a few days puts the whole digestive system in such shape that it can care for all of the food that is eaten without pain or distress.
 Simply take a Mi-o-na stomach tab let before each meal and on retiring and it will strengthen the stomach that you can enjoy hearty meal without the least fear of distress or suffering.
 1 Larson Drug Go. gives an absolute unqualified guarantee that your mon- ey will be refunded unless Mi-o-na cures. They take the whole risk and the remedy will not cost you a penny uniess it cures you

RICH MEN SEEK SIMPLE LIFE.

In view of the rumor that George J. Could wishes to sell his beautiful Geor- gian Court and that Charles M. Schwab desires to get rid of his city palace" a synic says: Tt seems to be thoroughly millionaireish to grow weary quickly of your home. Such lavishly adorned abodes seem to get on the nerves of their owners There is a tendency among persons who can afford to seek an old farmhouse in a secluded spot and live there for several months every year. This is borne out by a report from Maine that abandon ed farms of that state are being re- claimed rapidly and the opening of the vacation season finds many new visit ors from other states establishing sum mer homes op former farms. Many of these new settlers are going in for apple raising.-N. Y. Press.

1898 of 2.2 cents and in 1906. 2.S cents: while cotton cloths show in 1897 an average valuation of 12 cents per square yard, and in 1907, 1s cents.
 In exports the prices show in prac- tically all cases an advance. but av- eraging less than that found in im- ports. Taking 25 articles of export whose aggregate value forms nearly three-fourths of the total expectations. the advances in prices comparing the ten months ending with April, 1907, with the corresponding period of 1897, are as follows: Turpentine, an ad- vance of 154 per cent; rosin. 126 per cent; sawed timber. 105 per cent; cop per in ingOts. bars. and plats. 9l per cent; apples, 51 per cent; lumber, 6I per cent: cottonseed oil. 53 per cent; raw cotton. 42 per cent; oil cake and meal. 42 per cent; meat and dairy pro- ducts. 3S per cent; boots and shoes. 31 per cent: sole leather. 29 per cent; wheat, 2S per cent; corn, 27 per cent; paraffin, 26 per cent; unmanufactured tobacco. 21 per cent; steel rails, 2l per cent: wire. Is per cent; and fertilizers. 2 per cent.
 Taking the 25 articles named in the list of imports and the 25 articles named in the list of exports and giv- ing to each it's proper weight (accord- ing to the value of the trade) in order to obtain a proper weighted average. it appears from the figures of the bu- reau of statistics that the average ad- vance in price of these 25 articles i'm ported has been 55.21 per cent and Of the 25 articles of export included in the list the advance has been 3S.O6 per cent. comparing in this calculation the averages for the ten months of the fis- cal year 1907 with those of the cor responding ten months of 1897.

Manners of Our Women.

Mr Henry James, discussing the manners of American women, observed that there were "Europeanized" women who had pretty good manners, not through conscience, but from the fin stinot of imitation and conformity It is easy to perceive that MT. James has not up to the present seen anything to admire in the manners of the Ameri- can girl, and he goes so far as to say that the "hotel-bred" little girl is a nuisance and had no manners at all. In his sweeping criticism he does not even differentiate. To be well-bred means 10 be Europeanized. The hotel bred little girl with no manners is supposed to represent the best and probably only American type.
 The torch of tradition" says Mr James, "a little more neglected by each generation, burns dim and smoky American girls push to the front, re- gard themselves as the only objects of interest, and exhibit the serenity of their pampered ignorance. The daugh- ter of an American artist visiting In England found that invitations were not addressed to her, and that young men were not invited to meet her. She had real grievance and MT. James admits that she was superior to cir cumstanees. As for American. women he considers that they have much to learn regarding even the skillful man. aging of their servants. Not only can their manners be improved, but th cir entire social conduct should be brought up to the standards of the best types of Europe.
 It is not pleasant to hear criticisms that hold out so little encouragement for Improvement, and which show that the best will after all, be only 6 Eu ropean veneer without any real back ground. There is some truth, how ever in what this English critic says about the bad manners the average person he has met in America. What l object to is that he does not even admit that Americans should know

The November issue prints review from MT. Ball on 1.-The Traitor" and Current Literature has quoted from his reviews a number oi times. MT. Balls reviews are based solely upon what the book is worth.
