GROWTH OF OPIUM HAnlr.
Increase in Use Of Drug Has Been
Enormous in LARGE Cities.

There are in New York 5000 slaves ito
the opium habit. about Ave sixths of
whom are whites. This is the finding OF
DR.. Hamilton Wright, one of the three
American members of the international
commission that will meet In january to
investigate the opium traffic and arrange
plan to suppress II. This number is
more than three times as great, he said,
as the number Of '1lends" in Philadel-
phia.
Doctor Wright said that contrary to
the general belief the Chinese users OF the
drug and the opium manufacturers both
are anxious to see the law enforced as
to its sale, while the Chinese ''pipers'' are
strong advocates OF total abstinence from
the drug for the rising generations.
Doctor Wright declared there has been
a steady increase in the Importation OF
opium since 1875. That year the imported
drug prepared for smoking amounted to
$4,000 pounds, while in 1907 the Imports
had increased to $4,000 pounds. The i'm
p~ortation of the crude product in the last
five years Ia increased 1000, 900 pounds.
Chinese doctors are using a cure recent
ly discovered In Shanghai. 1t is being
tested officially in New York, while in
Philadelphia II Is said already to have
achieved good results. M

LEARN THE ART
OF DRESSING WELL
Good Taste in Clothes Is a Mat.
ter of Becomingness Rather.
Than Styles"
From the Kansas CITY Star.

Dressing well is not q matter of
what one spends. but Of how one
spends it. The vulgarian dresses as he
eats--with the single idea of loading
himself down. Flash" in dress always
suggests the curve Of h race track
and the green baize Of the gaming ia
BILE. Dazzling rings, snowy pins and
vociferous checks" are not so much
an evidence that a man possesses
money as that his money possesses
him. Il see that Brokerton Is rolling
in wealth." said n OF his acquaint-
ances to another. Not rolling" quick
ly retorted the man addressed, but
laundering"
Every man who aspires to be truly
well dressed should begin by studying
his age stature, coloring, cast of fea-
lures and physical p~eculiarities. All
things cannot, in reason, be becoming
to all men. Putting massive mission
furniture into q dainty gold and blue
oudoir creates a deafening discord.
Similarly, he of 40 who wears colors
suited to a youngster of 20 violates a
fundamental law Of dress-becoming-
ness to the individual.
A crimson craVat on a sallow COM
plexioned man sharply emphasizes his
absence of color, but 1t may be eX-
tremely becoming to him whose color
is fresh and whose skin is clear. Silk
mats ana trOCK coats on an aDnOrmally
understood man impel the irreverent
remark, Get a s~tepladder!" and OH
an abnormally tall man, Look out for
the clouds!"
You see, dressing well is not a ques-
ton of buttons and braid. rule and rote.
but of what makes a man look his best.
1t Is as impossible to lay down hard
and fast rules concerning what the in
dividual should wear as to dictate what
he should eat. He must learn by OBJ
just as he must learn what suits his
palate. TURTLES m sweetbreads are
delectable to some mouths, but they
taste as ashes to him who dotes on
grilled chops.
Know what becomes you and dress
,accordingly-that is the secret of feel
ing and looking fit to you finger tips.
Avoid the leeting fad and adopt the
matured mode. Cultivate an air" a
poise, an effect in dress hat are sub
tly expressive of your own personality.
be an echo, a trailer, me too"
Strive for the positive in color. Posi-
tive Colors are usually strong-neutral
colors are generally weak.
The young mans idea in dress is the
college boy, and with minor exceptions,
he is a capital pattern to follow. Most
fashions for men, and certainly all ex-
treme ones, have their birth in the
great universities. Dress is to the aV-
erage man a thing apart-'tis the COL
lege youths whole existence. He darts
after each fresh fad as a hungry fish
darts after a crumb and his preference
and prejudices powerfully influence
mems dress the country wide.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well Informed in every
walk Of life and are essential to permanent
success and crcditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one Of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

Killing RattIers in Pennsylvania.

From the Tionesta Vindicator.
George Burhen, who is building a new
house for himself on a part of his IA
theirs farm On German Hill, went to
refill a water Jug the other day that
had been left in the shade when he
luckily espied a huge RATHER AZ inches
long and carrying IL rattles coiled ready
for fight about the jug. George lost no
time in killing the reptile and has pre-
served the skin and rattles to verify his
statement.
Two young ons of George Copeland
went snake hunting at a den near their
fathers home on Little Hickory creek
one day last week and killed an even
dozen Of rattlers before they gave up
the battle.
Henry Amburger, Of Hunters Station,
has been missing eggs from the nest In
his chicken coop, even a china egg dis
appearing. He suspected rats or other
small animals, but the other day when
he found a dead blacksnake eight feet
long near by with a china egg lodged
In its stomach the great mystery was
solved. "

FEEDING LAMBS ARE CHEAPER

rIOHl lHS bEONeIS Telegram
1T begins to look very much as II
sheep feeders would be able to get their
lambs this fall much cheaper than last
season" This statement was made to-
day by Eugene Daigh, of Palmer Lake,
Colo. The dry condition Of most of
the range country had the effect of
cutting short the feed, and sheepmen
in most parts Of the range territory
will be willing to sell at lower prices
his fall. The lambs, as a rule, will
not be as large or as good in quality
as they were a year ago. but the diff
ference IN the price will make up for
that. 1t seems safe now to say that
lambs that sold for SO a head last fall
can be bought this fall for $1.75. Sheep
feeders paid fancy prices a year ago
for feeding sheep of all kinds and they
are a little slow now about buying.
At this time last season thousands Of
lambs had been contracted for, but I'D
to the present time l know Of but very
few that ave been sold for delivery
this fall. This shows the feeling among
prospective feeders. We still think a
good many sheep will be fed, but buy
Ing will be done later"

WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER.

Few people realize the importance
OF the words Trade Mark" stamped
on the goods they buy. If they did II
would save them many a dollar spent
for worthless goods and put a lot OF
INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers out of
business.
When a manufacturer adopts q
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsibility for the merit of his prod
uct. He takes his business reputation
In his hands-out IN the lim~elight-"on
the square with the buyer of his
goods, with the dealer, and with him.
self.
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out Inducements" Offering
to brand all goods purchased with each
local dealers brand-sidesteps respon-
sibility, and when these inferior goods
come back it is the local dealer that
must pay the penalty.
A good example Of the kind Of pro-
lection afforded the public by a trade
mark is that offered in connection with
National Lead Company's advertising
Of pure White Lead as the best paint
material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty Of pur-
ity in White Lead>is proved to the most
skeptical by the offer National Lead
Company make to send free to any ad-
dress a blow-pipe and instructions how
to test the white lead for themselves.

pany, Woodbridge Building

MIND YOUR
A New York Doctor Says Cooking
Utensils Cause Appendicitis.

."" N~NN ENFPNFN'~'N'~'
DR.. VIM. Il. Wilkinson, a widely
known physician and surgeon of Staten
Island, N. Y, says two-thirds of the
cases OF appendicitis in this country are
due TO the cooking utensils.
Twenty years ago" said DR.. Wilkin-
son, when o o was cooked in copper
utensils, there were few cases of ap-
pendicitis reported. Since the copper
utensils have gone ont of style and
agate ware used in it's place hundreds
of cases OF the disease are reported
weekly. The chips from the new ware
start the trouble.
II am positive that II the agate ware
were discarded and the copper utensils
were restored the percentage of ap-
pendicitis cases would be materially de-
creased

1t is claimed that the Giants
management let go $11 900 for
Marquard and $4,000 for the Indian
hackstop. 1t is an astounding fact
that Marquard has been in class A
company but three months, but 1t
has also been solely due to his eff
c.ency in the box that indianapolis
is at present at the head Of the
American association. 1t is further
reported that Marquard will not be
obliged to report until the latter

His first injury happened while
sliding to first base at the opening
game of the season between Butte
and Seattle. April of last year. Here
1t was generally considered that he
was gutter, and Russ Hall felt
the same way about him, and was
tickled to death when he got the
price for him. This season he has
been staying in good condition and
doing wonderful work back Of the
plate. .
The agreements for the sale of
the two men were filed with the ma
