- -------e--------------- = THE "GREEN TERROR"
Absinthe Consumption on the Increase
 In America, It Is Said.

Washington Dispatch to tn New York
 Herald.
 "Absinthe, the green terror or France" said botanist of the agricul- tural department, lis now being pro duced in considerable quantities in this country, and is being used to an alarm ing degree.
 "In some parts of Wisconsin the wormwood is being cultivated, and 1t is from this plant that the oil is dis titled for making the green terror.
 Tt is necessary to give the cultiva- tion of wormwood great care, and a certain age of growth must be reached before it is suited for distilling the oil, an oil which is almost worth it's weight in gold. Climatic changes have resulted in making certain portions of Wisconsin favored spots for the culti- vation of wormwood. and now there are several wormwood farms in that state.
 There is a secret, however, in it's cultivation, which is carefully guarded by the pioneers, and the consequence is that a number of growers are un- successful in raising plant which will produce the oil in paying quantities. The plan of sowing the seed broadcast has been abandoned, and now the sue cessful growers plant in rows or drills, cultivating 1t as they would corn or tobacco.
 Tt is just before the plant has

Women Inclined to Constipation

Women, owing to their peculiar func- lions, are prone to constipation, and many of their other ills are due to this congestion in the bowels which fills the blood with impure matter that perneates the entire system. In most cases foul breath, bad complexion, sick headache and such like ills are primarily caused by constipation or indigestion.
 Women should be happy to learn of a remedy that cures constipation and indigestion, and that has such other ingredients as purify the blood and tone up all the digestive organs. This remedy is Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. which can be bought at any drug store for 50 cents or Sl bottle. Women have been curing themselves with this remedy for sixteen years. and the offer of years ago still stands to-day, that you buy Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsn with the understanding that 1t will do as claimed or your money will be refunded.
 This great herb laxative compound is espec- lally suited to the delicate system of women be- pause of it's gentle but prompt action it's pleasant taste and it's freedom from griping. It does not weaken like purRatives and cathartics but builds up and strengthens. It Is a guaranteed permanent cure and should be as steadily in four home as in that Of thousands of others Women use 1t themselves and give it to children In preference to any other laxative because it Is guaranteed to do what good laxative should 10, and does 1t gently.

reached maturity that it is cut down and sent to the distillery, where the oil is taken from the green plant, being extracted by means of heat, with the exact process of which am not famil- jar.
 "The Wisconsin growers of worm wood and distillers of the oil first ship ped nearly all of their output to Flu rope, but now they find good and ready market for 1t in this country, and at almost fabulous prices.
 "The oil is employed in many ways, but its chief uses are in making ab. sinthe and liniments. The penetrating powers of the oil are simply wonderful. When applied to the surface it works its way to the bone, and this makes 1t exceedingly valuable in compromising strong liniments.
 "The by-product, absinthe, is already an awful curse. A person under the influence of the drug experiences the most pleasant dreams and imagina- tions but, like all excesses, 1t kills the gentle emotions, freezes kindness. arouses in man the spirit of the beast and accomplishes more vile deeds than are dreamed of.
 "A large drink of absinthe will pro duce Accessibility, convulsions, dilated pupils, sluggish pulse and other serious effects, the after-eifect often including trembling hands, arms and legs, in tense thirst, tingling in the ears, illu- sions of sight and hearing, and other results. So strong hold has absinthe gained in France that the government is exerting every effort to suppress its sale, an undertaking which, fear, will never be accomplished.
 "The use of absitnhe in America is increasing every day, and the poison is kept in nearly every city and village saloon. A few drops in a glass of whisky will make the average thinker think and feel that he owns half the earth with a good chance of getting of it. Just drop of absinthe' is what one-half of the present-day drinkers, especially among the upper classes, will say to the bartender when order ing drink.
 Two or three drinks with lust a drop. of absinthe' vii cause the thinker to get in that condition where he owns it all, knows everything, wants to hug everybody, and Is the very biggest fool in seventeen states. When the stuff begins to die out he is on the verge of good case of monkeys There is no drinking schedule so sure of produc- ing jimjams in short orders as lust drop of absinthe.

salem The service is going on within the sacred walls. The music, which can not be circumscribed by four walls drifts through the portal and, like bird, scars over the hills. The poor lepers are lis- tening to the sweet psalms. As the choir sings, they think of the time when they used to gather in the temple with the worshiper. And methinks l see the tears rain down their parched cheeks as they weep and cry: 70 Lord, why hast thou shut me out from thy love? Why am barred from thy holy worship? Wilt thou never again speak to me in tones of pity and pardon? Wilt thou never forgive me my past sins?" Then when Jesus cured the poor sick man of his leprosy he seemed to say: Son, thy sins are for given theei Thou are welcome now to join in public worship. Thou mayst now go into the temple and sing Gods praises. Though thy sins are as scarlet, yet they shall become white as snow" Thus hear the poor leper cry: Lord, 1 thank thee, that when thou hast cleansed .me of my leprosy thou hast forgiven me my sins. l thank thee, Lord. l thank thee! Today can you not glorify God like the poor loper, because Christ by his atoning blood has made it possible you you to be cleansed of all your past iniquites, so that in the sfht of God you can be pure through His word?
 Blotting Out Sin.
 Oh, the power of the blood of Jesus to blot out sin! Who has tongue elo- quent enough to fully describe it?s There Is a beautiful story told that many years ago a woman came to her pastor bemoan- ing her sins. "They are a heavy bur den," she said, "They are like load of wet sand" The minister heard and agreed. Have you ever been on that strip of sand by the beacon?" he asked. "Oh, yes, many tmes,' she said. Go there now" said he, and dig. Pile the wet sand up into a great mound Pile 1t as high as you can and then see what becomes of it." "Ah," exclaimed the pen itentn woman, 'T know what you mean. The flowing tide will come and wash it all away Yes" said the minister, "so the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away all your sins, though they may be as in- finite in number as the sands of the sea" Like the poor burdened woman, and like the leper who was cleansed of his fatal scales should not you thank God that by the death of His only begotton Son 1t is possible for you to be cleansed of all sin?
 We wonder what the later life of that leper was. Did his gratitude exhaust It. self in that loud voice with which he glorifed God? We cannot think so. Day by day as he went around in health and strength he would remember who 1t was that gave him his new life and would strive to live in accordance with Christ 8 teaching. Is not that our duty? SAall we praise him for delivering us from Sin and then go away and forget our obliga- tions7 The life that Christ has given us, like that He gave the leper, should be life devoted to Him, consecrated to Him and to His service He has told us how we may show our gratitude He died 'that they who live should henceforth but to IfrfN who died for them"

Again this cleansed leper must have been thankful that the doors of the tenn pie were once more opened to give him welcome to the altar of God In olden times leprosy was looked upon as the symbol of heinous sin.

I have often. l have some times imagined him one of the stalwart ment of the east. I have imagined him grow a healthy boy, healthy young man. and then marry. He has beauti- full home, a dear wife and a couple of lovely children. All that Is possible to make a young mans life happy is his. But one day while taking bath he sees a little white spot just over his left shoulder. He does not think much of it at first. He tries to rub it away, but it will not rub off. Then m week or two he sees that this small white spot Is grow ing a little larger. A month later he finds 1t still little larger. He tries to massage 1t with a rough towel but 1t will not rub out Now ne begins to have his suspicious, His face takes on a worried look. He does not tell any one, even his wife. Now he cannot sleep we'll at night. He becomes cross and irritable. One night his wife misses him from her side. She finds him in the next room bending over the sleeping children. He is weeping and wringing his hands, say ing, "Oh, who will look after these chill dren after I am gone?" What Is the

for the season. The demand for cash
wheat was strong and higher, and the
sales OF two carloads of cash red winter

they sought cover in feverish fashion. A

BIG BLOCKS THROWN OVER
LIQUIDATION FORCED IN MOST
INSTANCES.

New York, Oct 12-The uneasy feeling
which has been gathering in the stock
market during the week eventuated in
sharp spasm of liquidation today, which
gave a demoralized tone to trading. The
publication Of an alleged order Issued by
Z. II. Hartman for cutting down ex-
penses in all departments of the railroad
systems under his control owing to the
Str1ngency OF the money market, was the
sole factor. Mr.. Harriman's denial of
having issued this order and his asser-
ton that sustained pressure of traffic on
the railroad lines concerned would pre-
clude the cutting down Of operating
forces, had but little influence in cor
recting the demoralized tone Of the mar
ket.
The favorable bank statement had but
slight effect in the same direction and

Railroads Use Large Quantities.

1.-THE entire Santa Fe railroad system
now uses oil from Chicago to San Fran
cisco and from the Gulf of Mexico TO
Denver as fuel in their locomotives; the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake route
also uses it largely. The Southern Pacific
uses oil for fuel over the greater portion
of its system, west OF New Orleans and
Ogden and south of Portland. These rail-
way companies also use oil in every one
of their stationary steam-making plants,
for all purposes.
tons alone, taken from the California,
Texas, Indian Territory, Kansas and IL
linois wells, Is estimated at Is, 900 900 bar
rels per annum. While the California
field furnished for 1905 something like a.
100000 barrels to various industries this
year II is estimated California will fur
nish 35, O00, 600 barrels and still be 5000 600
barrels short of the demand.
''Oil is an ideal fuel for all uses which
coal, wood or gas is required. From a
tank in the back yard it is piped to any
part of the house for whatever use is
required of it.
to supply the demand for all uses oil
delivered at your house, factory or hotel
at price to equal coal at 81 per ton.
This is no idle dream. 1t will be proven
inside of two years.
There will be a demand on the Utah
field for 100000 barrels, when that
amount is produced for fuel alone, and
the time is not far distant when refineries
will use 100000 barrels more 1t is a
surprise to oil men that more interest is
not taken by Salt Lake people in this vast
industry, now knocking at her door.
