INSIDE FACTS ABOUT CIGARS.

Smokers who pay ten cents each for
cigars that leave a bad taste in the
mouth are beginning to learn that they
are the victims of the free deal" The
free DEAL simply means that the
manufacturers of many popular
brands of cigars have so cheapened
their product that they can afford to
give the dealer 100 cigars free with
every order for 1000.
This depreciation in quality runs
from 10 to 80 per cent.
There is one cigar that has never
been sold on free DEAF or scheme
basis. We refer TO the Mercantile CT
gar. For eighteen years the quality of
the Mercantile has been kept up. The
dealer makes a smaller profit on the
Mercantile, but on account of the ex-
traordinarily fine quality of the Ha-
vana tobacco of which it is made, it
has steadily gained in popularity and
sales.
The F. r. Rice Mercantile Cigar Co.
caters to the smoker who is particular
about the quality of tobacco in a ci-

CHARLES TAFT DENIES.
Says He Was Never Connected in Any
way With Panama Company.

Providence, R. L, Dec. 16.-The
Providence Journal today prints the
following Geographic correspondence:
Charles P. Taft, Cincinnati, o.:
Will you tell the Providence Journal
for publication whether you are now
or have been at any time in the past
a stockholder in the new or the old
Panama Canal company and whether
you have ever held any shares in
either company. (Signed)
THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL"
1.-THE Providence Journal, Provi-
dence, R. l.: In answer to your
query, say that / never was at any
time a shareholder in the new or old
Panama company either directly or
indirectly, and have never in any way
been connected with the Panama bust
ness. (Signed)
CHARLES P. TAFT"
The question addressed to Mr.. Taft
was also sent to Douglas Robinson,
President Roosevelt's brother-in-law.
The reply follows:
MY answer to the question in your
telegram is no. The statement con-
Meeting my name with the socalled
Panama canal syndicate is absolutely
unfounded. Inasmuch as I have not
now and never have had any connec-
ton with any such syndicate. I do not
know whether such a syndicate exists.
1t was an outrage to connect my name
with what was obviously a mere fabri-
cation for campaign purposes"

DEFY THE BRITISH.
Natives of RoI1ahanga Island Set Up
Republican Government.

Victoria, B. c., Dec. 16.-Advices
were brought by the steamer Makura
from Australia of the hauling down of
the British flag by the natives of
Rokahanga island in the Manahiki
group, who have declared a republic.
The island chief, who led the move
ment, which was assented to by a mass
meeting, was made dictator and the
British flag was formally hauled down
amid great enthusiasm. The dictator
forthwith appointed Judges and other
administrative officers and organized
a new police force. The stores of the
European traders were ordered closed.
The ring leader in the movement is a
native missionary. Some of the ma
tives who objected to the movement
were hailed before the new judges and
fined.
The islands are part of the Cook
eroup and are incorporated with New
Zealand as part of that dominion.

KERN A CANDIDATE.
Wants to Represent Indiana in United
States Senate.

Indianapolis, Dec. 16.-New interest
has been added to the race for the
United States senate when Democrats
from all of Indiana assembled here
for a conference. The affair was more
in the nature of a love feast or
ratification of the election last Novem-
Der when the Democrats elected a
governor, carried the legislature and
won II of the 13 congressman. There
are six candidates for senator and it
is at present anybody's race.
They are: John w. Kern, In
dianapolis the running mate of w. J.
Bryan in the last campaign; State
Senator L. E. Slack of Franklin; John
F. Lamb of Terre Haute; former Con-
gresham B. F. Shively of South Bend !;
Maj G. V. Menzies of Mount Vernon;
Edward G. Hoffman of Fort Wayne.
Many politicians were predictin g
that the contest would be a long one
as not one of the candidates seems
to have enough strength to run away
with the toga.

Common Sense
and a Tablet
Do Away With Dyspepsia, Stomach
Trouble and Make Meals
A Pleasure.


When your stomach goes on a strike
and mass meetings of indignation are
held all over your body, then it is that
you should sit up and take notice.
1t is clearly and only a question of
common sense-is this thing called Dys-
pepsia. Take away, by abuse, over eat
ing, excuses and high living, the things
which the stomach needs and you have
dyspepsia and indigestion; then other
maladies follow these this is common
sense.
The stomach is willing enough but
you won't let it do its work. You take
away the materials which are so neceS-
sary for it to use.
Give back these materials and dys-
pepsia and indigestion flee and the
whole machinery of man begins slowly
to move and do its work.
What the stomach needs is nerve
force, fluids for its digestive glands,
nourishment and power. All these ne
cessities it takes from the blood. If
dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood,
the blood gives nothing to the stomach.
This is common sense also, pure,
simple and unalloyed.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are COM
mon sense pressed by high power into
tablets. In these tablets are powerful
essences which go into the stomach,
digest food, stop gas making. prevent
decaying of food. enrich the gastric
juices, are absorbed by the blood and
thus give it strength to furnish bet
ter fluid for digesting the next meal.
Every physician knows what comprises
these tablets; every druggist has the
same knowledge also. They are natural
common sense digesters which do the
work for the stomach quickly and well.
Every drug store carries them, soc per
package. Send us your name and ad-
dress and we will send you trial pack

TWO XMAS MEALS
Breakfast

In one home where there are several half-grown children, last years Christ. mas breakfast will always be remem- bered. The plain baked apple whic h was at each plate when the family sat down wore holiday look, simply be- cause atop of each was tiny dab of thick cream in which was set large red candied cherry. It was unusual and everybody noticed it.
 That was what the mother of the family wanted, and she was--as most mothers would be--quite repaid for the thought. With the cereal ways passed, instead of the sugar of every day, low glass dish filled with curly shavings of maplesugar. These had simply been cut from cake of rather soft maple. sugar with a sharp knife. It was the first time it had ever been so served in the family, and the little folks especial. ly were delighted. Though nothing but boiled eggs formed the principal dish, these came to the table cuddled down in nest of Christmas greens--in reali- ty, little sprays left from the trimming of the house. 1t was arranged on a medium-sized meat platter, the green sprays being piled sufficiently high at the edges to make the nest quite real. istic You can imagine how it delight ed the children.

Christmas Supper

An unusual little supper-time surprise which was served to family party last year was this: Flaky baking-powder biscuits--in some localities known as "quick biscuits had been made just after dinner. While they had had ann pie time to cool, they were still very soft and fresh. The top of each little biscuit was pried off with a fork and as much of the inside removed as could be easily done without disturbing the shape of the outside At the last mo ment the remnants of the turkey were mixed with celery and few capers, and, with mayonnaise dressing which had been made the day previous, de- iieious salad mixture was ready in a few moments.

bill back to conference.
In fact, the bill had a narrow es-

Representative w. A Reeder of Kan

a motion to lay the bill on the table.
Speaker Cannon came to the rescue

dell, who was in charge of the bill,
that the main cause of it's defeat was
the incorporation in the House mea-
sure of the Smoot amendment permit
ting patents to issue for lands with
out the requirement of actual resi-
dence upon them by entrymen. This
amendment opened the way for argu-
ment by its opponents that the pass
age of the bill was desired so that
large land owners could enlarge their
holdings for grazing purposes.
In the opinion of Senator Smoot,
the bill was defeated mainly because
the words "arid and semiarid" were
left out of it. He is confident that
he will be able to secure passage OF
his dry farming bill, which contains
a non-residence feature, at the next
session.
