HURRICANE RUINS COCOA GROVE
Sweeps Over campeche, Mexico, and
 Causes Several Deaths.

San Antonio, May LA special to the Express from San Juan Batiste, Campeche, Mexico, says:
 A hurricane of terrific violence swept over this district last night, entailing great loss of property and the death of several persons. The'cocoa groves for some distance up and down the coast are completely ruined, causing a loss of millions of dollars Crops of vari- ous kinds were leveled to the ground and great trees in the forests were snapped off like pipe stems. It Is feared there may have been heavy loss to shipping if the storm extended into the gulf. The wind apparently started in the mountains and swept along the coast.
 Numerous houses were blown down and roofs of laborers' jacales lifted up and hurled with great violence against other structures or into the fields. The Santa Lucrecia, San Juan and Fl Menor haciendas are among the heav- jest losers. Several buildings were de- stroyed on the plantation of the Condo brothers, French ministers. These in clude the separate residences of two of the brothers and cotton fabric mill.
 Reports from the outlying country are still meagre.

Noted Physician Tells How to Prevent and Cure Rheumatism, Kidney
 and Bladder Troubles.
By George Edmund Flood. M. D.


 If you would avoid Rheumatism and Kidney and Bladder Troubles be moderate in the consumption of heavy, rich foods, substitute as far as possible soups, broths, fresh milk, and drink water-lots of wa ter. Take plenty of time to eat, and don t eat after you have had enough, even if it does taste good. If your work is con fining take moderate amount of exercise each day in the open air.
 Of course. neither diet, water, rest, nor exercise will cure these afflictions, ad- wise them as preventives only. For the benefit of the readers of this article who are now afflicted with Rheumatism, Kid ney, Blader of Urinary trouble, and desire to be cured quickly, l give below, com plete in every detail, the famous prescrip- tion which has made me so successful in the treatment of these diseases. It is the most certain cure for these diseases that 1 have ever used. It is pleasant to take, it is not expensive, 1t can be filled by any druggist, and l believe it is the greatest prescription for Rheumatism. Kidney and Bladder Trouble ever written. It is also valuable spring tonic and blood purifier If you are a sufferer, save this, take 1t to your druggist and have 1t filled, or get the ingredients and mix them at home: Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic. Ds ounce; Concentrated Barkola Compound, l ounce: Fluid Extract Pricllly Ash Bark, Da drachm; Aromatic Elixir. 4 ounces. Ault dose. take one teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime; children, ne-fourth to one-half teaspoonful after meals. After you are cured follow the advice I have given you in regard to diet, exercise and water, and you will not need the ser vices of a physician again for these al- ments.s

 The state food commissioner of Penn- sylvania is responsible for report to the governor in which he declares that nearly all of the so-called "pure ryes'' arc merely connections of raw ethyl alcohol, fiavorings and coloring matter. A sins liar report has been made by the state chemist of Minnesota.
 The makers and sellers of ''rectifed' and ''blended' whiskies are certain to fight against the ruling of the attorney general, and the case probably will go to the highest courts. Some few of them have already announced that they will ac- cept the new regulations and conform to them without resistance They argue that neutral spirits is no more harmful than straight whisky, perhaps not as much so. but they do not want to be forced to label their bottles according to what is put in them, as there is public prejudice against compounds"
 The ruling of Attorney General Bona- parte, indorsed by the President, who has instructed it's rigid enforcement, now gives an American citizen who wishes to drink whisky an opportunity to know how that whisky was made, and whether It canie from a still or mixing vat It is no longer the fault of the government if man does not protect himself from adul- terations.

tion Senator Joe Blackburn of Kentucky led the fight in Congress against whisky adulteraton. He urged that the federal government should provide some means for the protection of the public and should authorize an identification of gen. tiine whisky. He succeeded in securing the passage of the bottling-in-b bond law which permits a tIlstiller to bottle whisky in bond after it has remained for four years under the care of the federal reve- nue officials. over the corks of bottles thus filled is placed the green stamp, which shows the whisky Is not mixture or a blend and which discloses how long the whlsgy was stored in bond. This bill was one of the last signed by MT. Cleveland, as 1t was approved on the night of March 3, 1S9I the day before MT. Mckinley was inaugurated.
 The pure food movement with especial regard to liquors and wines Is not new, nor is it confined to the United States. At the time the pure food bill was de- feated in the United States Senate in lsoo a great congress was being held at Liege, where Belgian scientists were joining with those from other countries in an appeal to the legislative bodies of Europe to en- act laws requiring truthful labels for wines and liquors.

| President Roosevelt, in indorsng Attor- ney General Bonaparte's construction of the pure food law says that straight whisky, distilled as whisky and of one age, should be labelled whisky; that mix lures of two or more straight whiskies of different ages should be labelled as a 'blend;" that neutral spirits mixed with whisky, when there Is enough real whisky to make a difference in the nature of the mixture, should be labelled as a "com- pound, and, finally, that imitation whisky should be labelled as such. This means that neutral spirits cannot now be ! sold as whisky unless 1t is plainly labelled compound" or an "imitatioh.
