BEST EVER WRITTEN
A PRESCRIPTION WHICH ANYONE
 CAN EASILY MIX AT HOME.
Said to Promptly Overcome Kidney and Bladder Afflictions-Shake Simple Ingredients We'll in
 Bottle.

Mix the following by shaking well in bottle, and take in teaspoonful doses after meals and at bedtime
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. A prominent physician is the authority that these simple, harmless ingredients can be obtained at nom inal cost from any druggist even in the smaller towns.
 The mixture is said to cleanse and strengthen the clogged and inactive Kidneys, overcoming Backache, Blad- der weakness and Urinary trouble of all kinds, if taken before the stage of Bright's disease.
 Those who have tried this say it positively overcomes pain in the back, clears the urine of sediment and regu- lates urination, especially at night, curing even the worst forms of blad- der weakness.
 Every man or woman here who feels that the kidneys are not strong or acting in healthy manner should mix this prescription at home and give it trial, as it is said to do won- ders for many persons.
 The Scranton, Pa, Times was first to print this remarkable prescription, in October, 1906, since when all the leading newspapers of New York, Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other cities have made many announcements of it to their readers.

 Marcel smiled again.
 That well-dressed gentleman, then supplies us with toothpicks which hh wife makes at home. He calls once { month, and our orders amount to abou 20 cents a day.

 What nothing else has been able to do, the pure food law may accomplish. It may restore the homemade pie to It's pristine glory and Its numerical su- premacy, and so rout the armies of machine-made pies, which have usurp- ed the field In cities, at any rate. The reason Is Professor Wiley's ruling against the use of benzoate of soda as | preservatiye. The business of whole! sale pie manufacture has grown up from the discovery that by this preser- vative pie filling" could be kept for a long time. The consequence has been, that manufacturers of jams and pre- serves have also become makers of what Is known to the trade as "pie 1lling," made by the bucket or barTel- tul, and shipped all over the country The new reform pure food pie may cost | little more, or may contain less than sixty degrees to, the segment-but ohj how different 1t will taste [

TO DIG UP HERCULANEUM.
Is This Ancient City Ever to Be Revealed by the Explorerf

n0vca1eo the
 Will Herculaneum be excavated? Ii was in A. b. 79 that the great eruption of Yesuvius buried Pompeii and Her culaneum In ashes. To-day Pompeil has been largely restored to the eyes of men, but Herculaneun only in a very small part. And yet 1t is certain that greater revelations and riches are lock. ed up beneath the foundations of the two modern towns that have risen on the site of Herculaneum than have been obtained by the excavation of Pompeii.
 In a recent letter to the London Times Prof. Charles Waldstein has ex. plained his position In the controversy with the Italian government concern. ing the excavation of Herculaneum. Three years ago he had the support of the Italian authorities in his plan for an international excavation of Hercu. laneum under Italian laws and under the direction of Italian archaeologists He had made considerable progress in dHdhculuk lutCLCbl III tAC plloC III Europe and the United States when, in 1905, the Italian government began lis- tening to home demands that Italy take nobody into partnership In so sig. nif1cant and doubtless profitable an un- dertaking. Prof. Waldstein now says: Should the Italian nation object to international work and excavate Her culaneum themselves I shall not regret the efforts I have made for the wider plan" He urges the following reasons why the excavation should be made as soon as possible: The exceptional character of what is likely to be found, the increased difficulties and expense involved In every year of further de- lay, and the advantages to the present and coming generations which the re- suits will yield.
