tised licensing bilI' in the house Of COM
mons Yesterday The measure is the gov
ernment's concession to a large element
of social reformers in return for the lat

lation of the liquor trade and has been bit

increase the price of the poor man s

Workingmen are almost unit against
it. and politicians generally balieve it will
be {, source of great trouble to the minis

one of the most holly fought propositions
of the session.
The plan is TO reduce the number of
public house licenses TO ratio of one
to every 40 population III cities. and one
to every 400 in rural districts and for the
gradual elimination of the custom of
granting them in perpetuity.

TEHERAN. Persia. February 2S.-An

noon to assassinate the Shah of Persia by
a bomb. His majesty was not hurt. Three
of the outriders who were accompanying

and was traversing a narrow street, when
two bombs were hurled down at ii from

hermit. He soon attained great reputa-
ton for marvellous cures, and his little
chapel in the solitude of the woods be-
came the objective for pilgrimage from
all parts of the province of Perm. The
monk enjoyed a great reputation for
sanctity. but when the revelations came
it was learned that his holy ways and
words were nothing but cloak for rob-
berry, murder and debauchery of every
kind.
The repeated disappearance of female
pilgrims who visited the monks chapel
finally attracted the attention of the au-
thorities. and an investigation disclosed
the bodies of no less than twenty vic
TINS whom FeodotOf had assaulted and
murdered and then buried in the cellar
of his house. The charge of sacrilege. in
that he had stolen the sacramento ves-
sells from churches and monasteries, also
was established against the hermit.

or irregular bowels, feel weak,
easily tired, respondent. frequent
headaches, pain or distress in

kindred symptoms OF weak stom-

more promptly or cure you more
permanently than DIR. Pierce 5

Perhaps only part OF the
above symptoms will be present
at one time and yet point to tor

regularly and stick to its use until
you are vigorous and strong.
Of Golden Seal root, which is
one of the prominent ingredients
of Golden Medical Discovery,
DR.. Roberts Bartholow OF Jeffer-
son Medical College says: Very
useful as a stomachic (stomach)
tonic and in atomic dyspepsia
Cures gastric (stomach) catarrh
and headaches accompanying
same.
DR.. Grover Coe of New York
says: "Hydrastis Golden Seal
root exercises an especial inf1u-
ence over mucous surfaces. Upon
the liver it acts with equal GER
tainty and efficacy. AS chola-
gogue Oliver invigorator). it has
few equals" DR.. Coe also advises
it for affections of the spleen and
other abdominal viscera generally
and for scrofulous and glandular
diseases, .cutaneous eruptions. i'll
digestion. debility. chronic diar-
rhea. constipation. also in several
affections peculiar to women. and
in all chronic arrangements OF
the liver. also for chronic inham-
nation OF bladder. for which DR.
Coe says 1T is one of the most
reliable agents OF cure.
Prof. John King, NJ. D., late OF

ihent place among medicinal
agents, reiterates all the forego-
ing writer's have said about it. as
does also Prof. John NJ. Scudder,
NJ. D.. late of Cincinnati. DIR. Scud-
der says: 1T stimulates the diges-
tive processes and increases the as
sinilation of food. By these
means the blood is enriched.
s. & s. the consequent improve
ment on the glandular and nerv-
Gus systems are natural results.
DR.. Scudder further says: In re-
lat;on to its general effect upon
the system. there is no medicine
in use about which there is sucl,
general unanimity of opinion. 1t
is universally regarded as the
tonic. useful in all debilitated

supervision of clubs, closing on election
days and the exclusion of children under
fourteen from public houses.
If passed the bill will suppress 5000
saloons. 1t is likely, however, to be much
modified by the house of lords.
The bill proposes that the complete re-
ductiOn of licenses be effected within
twenty years. The system of compensat-
ing those entirely deprived of their IL
censes is to lapse after a periNd of four
teen years from the time the act goes into
force, and an end thus will be put to the
vested interests in licenses. Local option
is to govern the issuance of new licenses,
and majority of the parochial electors
Is sufficient to prohibit the granting of a
license for period of three years, at the
expiration of which time new vote may
re taken.

There is a constantly increasing

have no doubt the output of the
