NICOTINELESS TOBACCO.

Upon an American request, Consul
General Frank H. Mason, of Paris,
has prepared the following report on
the introduction of "nicotinclcss to-
bacco" in France:
What is popularity known as Cap
oral Doux," or the so-called 'nico-
tineless tobacco" in France, is simply
ordinary caporal tobacco which has
been treated by washing with water
until the ordinary proportion of p
per cent of nicotine has been reduced
to per cent. In this form it is used
for smoking in pipes and for the
manufacture of cigarettes, which find
certain favor among smokers who
prefer a light flavor or who, by rea-
son of nervous or cardiac weakness,
are wary of nicotine.
Ordinary caporal is a mixture of
French, American and oriental to-
baccos, prepared by the Reggie" or
government establishment, which has
a complete monopoly of the manu-
facture of tobacco, cigars and cigar
cites in France. 1t has a somewhat
rank, but not unpleasant flavor, and
is the cheapest, most popular form of
tobacco used in France for smoking
purposes.
The washing of the tobacco causes
loss of Is to 80 PER cent in the
weight, and this explains the fact
that ordinary caporal tobacco which
sell at So. Al per kilo or pounds), is
advanced in value when denicotmized
to $3.O8 per kilo.
During the four months from jan
uary 1 to April 30 there were sold by
the Reggie to dealers in Paris 5000
kilos of denicotinized tobacco, and
5000 kilos, OR $4,000, 600 cigarettes
made from the same material.

DIED..
BIGGS.

The body of Mrs. Charlotte A. Biggs,
wife of our formerly we'll known towns
man, B. d. Biggs, was brought to this
place on the 1.2O p. n. trairSpn Wednes-
day, July 81, for interment. Mrs. Bggs
died at her home at Thurmont, Md, Tues
day morning, July 80, at 4 O'Clock. She
had been sufferer for years from. rerv-
Gus and kidney trouble, bat her death in
the end was due to dysentery. The de-
ceased was born near the head of Marsh
creek, Adams county, December 8, 1898.
She was the last member Of a family of
nine children, sons and daughters of Da-
vid and Catherine Chamberlain of that
section. She has been a member Of the
Methodist church from early childhood.
Her fathers house was not only the stop
ping place for the ministers in her child
hood, but in it were held the first Method
list services in the neighborhood, where
scores were converted and united with
this denomil alton, and from this a con-
gregation was established.
In 1854 she was united in marriage
with Benjamin d. Biggs. For forty
years they resided in Shippensburg,
moving to Thurmont some seven years
ago, since which time she has been a
great, but patient sufferer. She is sur
vived by her husband and one son, Mil
ton B. B;ggs, Of Shippcnsbarg. Services
were conducted at the home by Rev. r.
Koontz. From the Cumberland Valley
station here the body was conveyed to
Spring Hill cemetery, where the burial
services were concluded by Rev. j. c.
Gardner of the Messiah u. B. church OF
this place. -Shippensburg News.

The Kiss.

A kiss is a peculiar proposition--of no
use to one, yet absolutely bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing, the
young man has to steal it and the old
man has to buy it. The baby's right, the
lovers privilege, the hypocrite's mask.
To young girl, faith; to married wom-
an, hope; and to an old maid charity.
The bliss Of the kiss however, isfrequent-
ly lessened, or lost entirely on account of
offensive breath, of one or both of the
participants caused by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. There is no occasion for this con-
dition though for the reason that Rydale' S
Stomach Tablets will soon correct the
stomach trouble and do away with the
bad breath. They 1.-THE Stomach Tablets
not the kiss] are guaranteed by DR..
James X. Waters. Directions: Take two
boxes Rydale's Stomach Tablets and fol-
low up with the kiss as often as conven-
lent.

EARLY CLOSING.

The early closing OF stores and bus
mess places, in cities and small towns,
is decided benefit in more ways than
one, even if the plan be thought
hardship by some, who thereby miss
convcniences. As a rule, everybody
| works too many hours day, entirely
ignoring the Masonic division of time,
and instead of blaming the mer-
chants for shorter hours farmers
should act likewise. The chances
arc that the work would all get done,
and better done, by taking things a
little easier.
There is this one big objection to
early closing. 1t reduces the number
of open public places to a very small
number, among which is the bar room,
the tendency being toward increasing
loafing there, if not drinking. The
bar is perhaps a necessary cvll--we
will not discuss that-and it is un-
1uestionably true that the later at
night it is kept open, the more harm
it does; therefore we are firmly OF the
opinion that ten O'Clock closing law,
such as they have in Iowa, would be
a splendid one for Maryland.
Certainly there is no good excuse
for men, young or old, to go to bar
room late at night, unless they go
there voluntarily, and the only open
| door" can scarcely be urged as temp
tation, for the reason that, with or
without early closing hours, the bar
is always the last among business
places to close, and can easily catch
those who are willing to be caught;
still, there is very strong suspicion,
that, for the general good there should
be early closing OF bars, rs well as
stores, perhaps by legal require

A Mistake Corrected.

1t is mistake to combine in the same
remedy both stomach and liver medicines,
because the stomach is not always out of
order when the liver is, or vica versa.
While it is true that these organs are so
closely related that when one is affected
the other is likely to be also, still there
are times when one is affected and the
other is not. 1t is serious error to
give liver medicine combined with a
stomach medicine when the stomach only
needs treatment, and it is not necessary
to treat the stomach when the liver only
is disordered. Rydale's method is the
most sensible one. He does not combine
the two, but makes a tablet for the
stomach and tablet for the liver, which
can be combined if necessary. Guaran-
teed by DR.. James X. Waters.

hit the second. The third man hit the

were roofing some.
For the home team Rouzer opened with
fly to second and was out, F. Fraley
struck out and Birely was out at first.
After the first inning the visitors did
not score until the ninth when C.. Sha fer
made safe hit and scored on tumble
