ThrOpp Jury on Friday.

The second jury on Mr.. Troops Ca
toctin property will meet on Friday of
this week. 1t will be watched with much
interest from this end of the line, and it
will come as decided surprise if this
jury exceeds the award of the first one
which was 500. 1t takes 81 acres of
land all told, principally swamp, cinder
dumps and dirt dumps. Mr.. Thropp gave
an average of $4.45 per acre for the
whole tract and it is generally conceded
that the land taken by the railroad is as
bad as the worst of the whole tract,
hence 500 looks like mighty big dam
ages. Mr.. Thropp says the R. R. dam
ages him $500 worth; we say he is ben
Gifted $4,000 worth by the railroad being
built where it has been located.

COD. TABLETS

I Completely eliminate the unpleasant features formerly connected with the taking of cod liver oil. They present the vital principles of the purest Nor. wegian Cod Liver Oil condensed in dry tablet form and made more valuable by the addition of Licorice and the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda. All the GOOD of the oil is retained and the objectionable qualities are eliminat- ed.
 C. o. D. TABLETS possess no nau- seating taste or odor. They do not affect the appetite. They do not in terfere in any way with the digestion of other food and are themselves very easily digested and assimilated. They supply the blood with exactly the prop CT material it requires to renew and rebuild worn out or wasted tissues.
 C. o. D. TABLETS replace pure cod liver oil with a far more effective re- medial agent in the treatment of Lung Troubles, La Grippe, Consump- tion and other Pulmonary Complaints, Nervous Weakness, General Debility, Loss of Weight, Wasting Diseases and other "Run Down" Conditions, Nal nutrition and other Ailments in which an increased and enriched supply of PURE BLOOD is absolutely necessary for a permanent cure. Sold in Soc and LOO bottles. If your druggist does not have them, send your money di- rectly to us and we will supply you at once.

 Easily
 Taken
 Form

You can secure ALL the benefits of cod liver oil without having to endure the various distresses which accom- pany the taking of the plain oil. The disagreeable mouth rolling, the con stant taste of fish" in the mouth, the rising of gas in the throat and the up- setting of the stomach which are caused by taking cod liver oil plain are all entirely unnecessary.

A Declining Japanese Industrv.

The forging of scimiter blades in ia
pan was once hourishlhg industry
and the workers formed n close and
powerful corporation. But the indus.
try has declined for years. and now
only two makers are left, Messrs
Sonkyama and Myamoto. No young
japanese has come forward to offer
himself as an apprentice. and the
question was referred to the mlliado
with view Of perpetuating the indus
try.
The mikado has come to the rescue
and has founded two scholarships OF
f1O0 to induce two lads to offer them
selves for initiation into the art and
