There is never a supply of anything
until there is demand. The consum-
ers, who make the demand for articles,
actually create the supply. Every one
who purchases a garment that has
been made in sweatshop is helping
to swell the output of such goods. The
sweatshop system of work is most
degrading and has dragged the gar
nominating industry down to shock
ingly low level When the consumer
insists upon maintaining the right to
know how the articles purchased are
made, then the merchant will be forced
to demand of the manufacturer guar
anty Of his responsibility.
Even a cheap Bible may be a
tainted bargain" if the book is sold
cheap because the workers have not
been paid a fair wage for the printing
and binding. There is a standard OF
morality for spending money just as
there is one for earning money.

COFFEE COMPLEXION.
Many Ladies Have Poor Compilations
from Coffee.

Coffee caused dark colored blotches
on my face and body. I had been
drinking it for long while and these
blotches gradually appeared, until
finally they became permanent and
were about as dark as coffee itself.

vous any more, as was when I was
drinking coffee, and my complexion is
now as fair and good as it was years
ago. 1t is very plain that coffee caused
the trouble"
Most bad compilations are caused
by some disturbance Of the stomach
and coffee is the greatest disturber OF
digestion known. Almost any woman

WORKMANSHIP IN THE ARMY.
President Said to Have Borrowed His
From jefferson Davis.

When jefferson Davis was Secretary
of War he ordered all his generals To
learn to ride horseback. That is where
President Roosevelt got his notion that
to be commanding officer a horse
and saddle are necessary. There were
no automobiles in Jeff Davis time.
1t was horse or foot. Today the lead
ing generals all over the world-except
in America-go to the front in auto
mobiles. The saddle be blowed! But
our ever puissant President-must,
well. he must.
No finer horseman than Davis ever
lived. He won the love and hand OF
Zach Taylor's daughter by his dis
tinguished presence in the saddle. as
well as by his intrepedity at the can
mons mouth, When Secretary of War
he noticed that only few officers in
the service were capable horsemen,
and issued an order something like
this:
A liberal reward will be paid to any
officer or private in the army who will

our soldiers from falling out of their

the leading army engineers of his day,

stories under the nom de plume of
John Phoenix. He received copy

intricate and accurate designs of his
plan for keeping officers and men in
the saddle. To the seat of each Off

and another bull ring was attached to
the saddle. The two bull rings were
to be dashed together when the officer
mounted his steed. IF that doesn't
hold nothing WILL" wrote Phoenix to
the Secretary.
Davis was furious when he got this
proposition. and Immediately ordered
that Capt Derby should be court-m
tailed for official levity." The Secre-
tary felt that the army had been dis

A DAYS DfllNQUtNlS
IN A JUSTICES COURT
An Indian With a Name Bestowed
Upon Him by Some SaeriIegious
Pioneer.

An Apache Indian was brought be-
fore Justice tombstone yesterday
morning for having been boisterously
drunk the night before. The court
was nearly dislodged from its perch
when the Indian in answer to ques-
ton gave his name. 1t is Jesus Christ
Where and how he got it is not known
but the superstition is that some sac
religious teamster or prospector be-
slowed ii upon him and as most of the
Indians who have been renamed sub
init to the process willingly. SO this
Indian kept his name proudly.
The Indian pointed out two Mexi-
cans from whom he said he had got
the liquor which made him drunk. He
could really implicate only one of them
and as both swore that they had new
er seen him before there was little use
in proceeding farther with tn matter.
The Indian was sent to Jail for five
days.
Tom TOhiOa was also before the
court He is Japanese and had been
drunk and fighting the night before in
the name of Nippon. which he thinks
can whip any nation on earth. Mr..
Tohioa's pugnacious spirit will cool in
the county Jail during the next five
days. Other delinquents We're Man
uel Villanueva, Adolf LON, Ed Burk
and 5. Baranto. All got five days
each. 80
Ii had been supposed at the begin
ming of the fair that the police and
justice courts would be overrun with
criminal business of a petty character
but there has not been SO much of IL
as was expected. The outsiders have
contributed little to The ,dockets. Most
of the defendants have been home pro-
ducts who would have been in Jail If
there had been no fair at all.

And Now Tells What He Knows Of

who served IS years in the Congo and
who resigned when he was notified
that he would be prosecuted for cruel
ty toward the native sOldiery, re-
taliatcd today by publishing sensa-
tional exposure of the revolving condi-
tons prevailing il the native army.
He declares the soldiers are merely
brigands who raid the populations, as
sauit the women and burn villages.
The major adds that when he at
tempted to protect the natives by in
fictins severe punishment on the
troops, his measures were over-rulcd
by his superiors.
He insists that the real object of the
Congo administration in preferring the
charges was to get rid of him.

BRONCHIAL COUGHS.
Breathe HyomePs Healing Air and All
Irritation Will Be Quickly Cured.

The most irritating and annoying
form OF cough is that termed
bronchial. People subject to bron-
chial troubles whenever there Is a
change in the weather or they are OK
posed to draft will catch" a
bronchial cough, which Is very dis
agreeable, irritating and annoying.
bronchial troubles cannot be cured
by stomach dosing. The mctlicatcd
air of Hy-o-mci is the only treatment
that reaches the affected parts and
gives relief and cure. 1t destroys all
the disease germs that are present in
the nose, throat and lungs, Soothes and
relieves the irritatcd mucous mem
branc in all parts Of the bronchial
tubes and quickly Ovcrcomcs the
irritation.
Bronchitis is really an inflammation
of the mucous membrane lining the
air passages and is purely a local
disease 50 that ii needs a local treat
ment ike that afforded by Hy-o-mei.
# there is any doubt in your mind
as to the power Of Hy-o-mei to cure
bronchial troubles SO that the system
will resist coughs and colds. the IN
usual way In which il is sold by
Bowditch, Webster & Co, should dis
pei that doubt. They agree to refund
the money to any purchaser of
Hy-o-mci who is not perfectly salts
fed with the results following the use
Of the remedy. They take all the risk
and if the remedy does not help you
it does not cost a penny. while if 1t
cures, the expense is nominal, for 4
complete Hy-o-mci outfit is sold at
only S100.
