Ills Home and Family.
W n the choice Of Phllandcr Chase

W n the choice of Philander Chase
Knox as the head of his cabinet
President Elect William II. Taft
has conferred an honor upon one
Of his rivals for the Republican presi-
dental nomination. 1t is understood
that Judge Taft is especially desirous
of surrounding himself with men who
are recognized to be of signal ability
In their several fields so that his ad-
ministratlon may have the counsel
Of men who individually and collec-
lively can be of the greatest possible
assistance TO him In the satisfac-
tory solution of the problems to be
met. The office of secretary of state
has come to be regarded as one Of
high honor, second only in many re-
spects to that of the presidency. 1t
has been held often by men of presi-
dental size. among them sherman,
Blaine, Hay, Olney, Root and Seward,
Lincolns secretary of foreign affairs,
not 90 mention Thomas jefferson, who
occupied the post under Washington.
Judge Taft gave UNUSUAL thought to
the selection of an incumbent Of the
post of secretary of state not only be-
cause he wanted in It good foreign
affairs secretary, but also because he
desired that the head of his cabinet
should be a man capable of advising
him on matters outside of that depart
ment calling for serious consideration.
AS attorney general in the cabinets
Of President Mckinley and President
Roosevelt, Mr. Knox became famous as
public man several years ago. As
the occupant Of that position he inlti-
ated some of President Roosevelts

WHERE DID CASTRO GET IT7
MonoPolies and Foreign interests the
Sources Of the Venezuelan Presi-
dents European Bank Deposits.

Monopollss and Foreign interests the
Sources Of tho Venezuelan Presi-
dents European Bank Deposits.
Estimates Of the amount Of money
that President Castro OF Venezuela
thrlftlly deposited in Europe prior to
his flight vary all the way from $10,-
100000 to S60,000OO0. where did re
get It? is the natural question Most
Of his wealth has come from monopo
lies out of which he has received the
lions share. The latest and one Of
the most ingenious Of these monopo-
lies was the sole right to butcher cat
tie. This was said to produce net
income Of $1,000 n day, as the cattle
raisers were forced to sell their ami
mails for almost nothing in the absence
Of competition.
Foreigners of all nations, as well as
the Venezuelans, have contributed to
Castros European bank deposits.
After four years of exploitation the
receiver" of the New York and Bermu-
dez company's asphalt property turned
into the Venezuelan treasury only $S,-
900 as the net proceeds Of four years
sales, amounting to about half mil
lion dollars at the mine. All but 49,.
600 of this sum, the receiver" stated,
was absorbed by Expenses and i'm.
provements." The receiver" neglect
ed to mention the profits derived from
the sale Of the asphalt here. Added to
tho bo1f million dollars charged 10 'sex
penses and improvements" the profits
made on the sale Of refined asphalt
make an enormous sum, which has
been divided between Castro and his
American business associates.
But the cattle and asphalt CRAFTS are
only samples of the sources from
which Castro has enriched himself at
the expense of his own people and for
eign interests in Venezuela.

DEEP SEATED COUGH
CURED IN 5 HOURS.
New Homemade Syrup.
(Cut This Out.)

erOm 0OUtOU VtOOos
Progress In medical compounds
never ceases. and now 1t 10 stated by
q prominent medical man that any
deep-seated cough or cold on the
lungs can be actually cured in five
hours by the clock. Opium and nor
phine have been resorted to in the
past, as relief measures. But now it
is learned that the system must be
treated to rid it Of Inflammation and
congestion. A tonic laxative cough
syrup does the work so quickly and
thoroughly as to be almost magical.
What. heretofore has taken weeks to
cure can be accomplished in hours.
Get this formula filled or mix it at
home and always keep 1t on hand:
One.half ounce fluid wild cherry
bark. one ounce compourd essence
cardiol and three ounces syrup white
Pine compound. Shake the bottle
aud take twenty drops every half
hour for four hosrs. Then take one
half to one teaspoonful three or four
times q day until the system is puri-
fed and toned up. Give children less
according to age. One filing will
usually cure whole family. as the
dose IL small.
