EFFECT OF THE FOOD LAW.
Driving Many Worthless Catarrh
Medicines Out of Existence.

Many worthless remedies that have
been advertised for the cure of catarrh
have been driven out of existence by
the Pure Food Law.
This has naturally increased the
sale of reliable remedies, and those that
fulfill the provisions of the law.
Hyomei, for example, has larger sale
than before, and L. P. Van Werden still
sells it under a guarantee that it will
cure catarrh or the money will be re-
funded.
Breathe Hyomei three or four times
daily through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, and it's
healing air will reach the most remote
parts of the nose, throat and lungs,
killing all catarrhal germs and soothing
and healing any irritation in the mucus
membrane.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
S1.00, extra bottles, if needed, SOC, and
sold by L. P. Van Werden under the
guarantee that it will cure or cost
nothing.

Rough House.

An old'fashioned fight and general
miN-up took place last Saturday even
ing at the Midway" drug store oper-
ated by Willis Laws in South Lineville,
in which base ball bats, beer bottles
and revolver figured as effective weap-
ons. Ross and Stokes Moore on one
and Willis Laws and his barkeeper
Bunker on the other, were the princi
pal participants in the fight. Ross
Moore received bullet from revolver
in his left side making slight flesh
wound and both the Moore boys were
considerably cut and bruised about
their heads. Ex-Sheriff Jack Cook, and
Alb George, of Princeton, were in the
house when the row opened and the
former incidentally, and perhaps acct
dentally got knocked down in the mix
up. Most of the glass in the front Of
the drug store was demolished and the
establishment the next morning looked
like it had been struck by cyclone.
Warrants have been issued in Mercer
county for the participants in the row,
but so far no arrests have been reported.

Proof OF Merit.

The proof of the merits of a plaster
is the cures it effects, and the voluntary
testimonials of those who have used
Allcock's Plasters during the past sixty
years is unimpeachable evidence OF
their superiority and should convince
the most skeptical. Self-praise is no
recommendation, but certificates from
those who have used them are.
AlIcock's are the original and genuine
porus plasters and have never been
equaled by those who have sought to
trade upon their reputation by making
plasters with holes in them. Avoid sub
stitutes as you would counterfeit money.

Cure Laws would be needed, if all
Cough Cures were like DR.. Shops
island has been for 20 years.
The National Law now requires
that if any poisons enter into cough
mixture, it must be printed on the label
or package. For this reason mothers,
and others, should insist on having DR..

on DR.. Shops labels-and none in the
medicine, else it must by law be on the
label. And it's not only safe, but it is
said to to be by those that know it best,
a truly remarkable cough remedy. Take

children. Insist on having DR.. shoop's

appearance in the court room here at
the Haywood trial.
Corroborative evidence was INTRO
duced of the testimony OF Orchard in
regard to the Vindicator mine eXplo-
sion and the state proved that the reg
istered letter and telegraphic money
order received by Orchard, while at
San Francisco, were sent by Pettiu one,
facts admitted by the defense.
Judge Wood made 1t plain that he
would not permit the introduction of
evidence in regard to the labor trou-
bles in Colorado which was admitted
at the trial of Haywood, and then
stricken from the record because, it
was held by the court, the defense mad
failed to establish it's counter conspir-
acy charge.

Miners, arrived in Boise Tuesday. and
sa; with the spectators at the after
noon session of court. He will take
the stand as a witness for the defense.
