may stamp it "whiskey, compounded
with grain distillate' and put the
stuff on the market in defiance of the
spirit of the law and to the disgust
of decent distillers and blenders
Few laws have ever been more
openly defied than the pure food and
drug act in it's attempt to regulate
the manufacture of Spirits OF
whatever kind, whiskey being only
one of them. Makers of straight"
or unblended WHISTLES have been for
generations at war with blenders;
and when the agricultural depart
ment began it's crusade this ancient
conflict was carried to Washington.
In The md the victory lay with the
straight whiskey interests, and
was marked by the introduction of

The Deadly Finger Nail

Every time you scratch yourself you run
risk. No, don't smile that superior smile
and say that you have never yet had any
trouble from it. What we say is true. Ask
any physician. To scratch your scalp,
pimple or scab is particularly dangerous.
Your finger nails carry germs of Eczema,
Tetanus (Lockjaw) Erysipelas and all
manner of skin diseases. Let one little
germ get into the scratched place and trou-
Bile is sure to follow. Because you have
been lucky enough to escape SO far is no
guaranty that you will be 50 lucky in the
future. Don'ttake chances. For any Itch
ing use Littell's Liquid Sulphur, stops Itch
ing instantly, and permanently relieves all
forms of skin complaint, eczema, erysipelas,
pimples, running sores, letter, ring worm,
chaps, roughness, redness or skin blotches.
Gentlemen: November, 1902, con-
tracted facial erysipelas and my physicians
prescribed ichthyol ointment and retirement
from business. After one days use of the
ointment I concluded the erysipelas was
preferable, On Aa1sAnt of the yillaineus odos
and color of the ointment. Having by me
bottle Of Littell's Liquid Sulphur with
which had cured, with one application,
an aggravated case of prickly heat the prev
ious summer, abandoned all other rene
dies and applied that with most satisfactory
results, as the disease was confined to its
original limits and in due time disappeared.

Bronlund reached 1t in the moonlight,
and when the spring search party this
year found his body there it was evident
that he had lived for several days after

far gone for recuperation.
With trembling hand he filed several
pages in his note book with descrip-
ton Of their wanderings and sufferings
and told where his comrades had died.
1t was impossible to discover and bury
their bodies. because the new fallen snow
was very deep. The last honors we're

LOCKERS FOR MATINEE HATS.
Manager OF o. Paris Theatre Provides
Them for Patrons.

A clever theatrical manager in Paris
has found a way Of solving the matinee
hat question which has been vexing that
city, says Totrn and Country. 1t has all
along been urged. and with reason, that
a hat costing over 500 should not be
left in the cloak room with sticks and
overcosts.
NJ. Gemier, who manages the Theatre
Antoine. appreciated the reasonable
ness Of this argument and has pleased
the women Of Paris by catering to their
hats instead OF ordering them out Of the
theatre when they refused TO leave them
in the cloakroon,.
He has lined the corridors of his play
house with pigeonholes and fitted mirrors
of convenient places. Every lady on
booking her seat gets a key which fits
the pieeonhole allotted to her place.
and she can thus rest assured that her
latest pieco OF millinery will not suffer.
This is far wiser arrangement than
rising in wrath against the matinee hat.
for nowadays there is often a good deal
Of ooifYure attached TO a hat and the
locker system keeps the secret.

which cost the lives of the leader and

they were loaded down with all the food
