we can take and hold our own against

we desired to stimulate it we could pro-
pose what we did in the case Of the
Hawaiian Islands-establish reciprocity
treaties with low duties in both coun-
tries.
But the syndicates are proposing
nothing of the kind. The open door
they speak of is not opening the door
to legitimate trade, but opening the

The tilt of Don Gaspar's nose. the
contour of his eye, the heaviness OF
his mustache and the curliness of his
beard are matters that may lay Jabe2
Swan, the sign painter. liable to the
United States government for misde-
meanor and cost him a heavy sum
in royalties to Mrs Matte May
Glover, the sculptor.
The case of the United States against
Swan took up two hours of Com
missioner Heacocks time yesterday
and will take as much more tomorrow.
1t grew out of the Portola festivities.
The only existing portrait of the dis
coverer of San Francisco bay was
found in a minute pen sketch by an
unknown artist, placed between the
leaves of an ancient book in the pri-
vate collection of John P. Burnton.
Mrs. Glover made an enlargement by
use of a microscope, and from that
modelled the medallion that has been
accepted as the only authentic likeness
of the don.
MEDALLION WAS COPYRIGHTED
Mrs. Glover had her work copyrighted
and received large royalties from the
picture card and decorative firms, who
got out large, bronzed enlargements
for building ornaments during the
festival, but Swan also came out with
a Don Gaspar.
J. NJ. Paulicsek. the artist who made
the plaster don for the sign firm,
produced an original sketch given to
him by Swan to follow. He found
the original so badly out of proportion
and crudely lined, he said that he
idealized the same, giving the nose
classic lines and in general beautify-
ing the features. He further added a
long, flowing plume to the helmet.
ARTISTS SWORN AS EXPERTS
A number OF artists were put on the
stand as experts. Some empha sized
the resemblance in pose. the understood
effect and the similarity of profile.

WHIsKEY FOR COLDS
Fine Formula for Old Time Remedy
Cured Thousands Here
Last winter

The increased use of whisky for colds
is causing considerable discussion
among the medical fraternity. 1t is an
almost infallible cure when mixed with
certain other ingredients and taken
properly. The following is the formula
Mix two ounces of glycerine with
eight ounces of good whisky and add
one-half ounce of Concentrated pine
compound. Take teaspoonful or a
tablespoonful every four hours.
Any good druggist has these in
gradients.
Concentrated pine is a special pine
product and comes only in half ounce
bottles. each enclosed in an air-tight
case. but be sure it is labeled Con
centrated.r
A prominent local druggist says that
for several years he has filed this
prescription and has seen il make many
remarkable cures, often curing the
most severe coughs and colds in a days
time Each one of the ingredients per-
forms a special restorative function.

Where to Wear Bows-Great discrim-

rather, placing rosettes which finish

the spot where the loops must go.
When the contour is round, the rosette
must be either in the middle of the
front directly-in back, or little back
of the ear.

width.
Extremely pretty fancy collars are
made by taking wide piece of ribbon
and tying a fancy bow at one end. On
the top of a collar foundation a ruch-
ing is sewed. and then the ribbon is
tackled to the foundation top and bot
many different ribbons. for the tack
ings are light and are easily taken
out.
Only a thin or oval face can wear
wide ruches. If there is the least
tendency to squareness in contour

II people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would be no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. when q person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
eharlatans claim that medicines will
cure disease. Medicines may palliate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers Of Nature TO resist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse the efforts OF the
human body to right itself against do
rangements. This is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger In
the fire. Instinctiyely he vets bis
finger in his mouth, then blows on II
for the cooling effect. This Is no cure.
He knows II very we'll. But 1t makes It
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or indigestion. The only
rational cure is 70 eat correctly. Yeti
palliative is at hand the pains Of indi-
gestion can be mitigated, the throes OF
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. II simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna Is o cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
70 perform Its function properly. Peru
na will increase the flow OF digestive
fiaids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. twill increase the
relish of food, the appetite.
It Is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
ere so many people who either will not
or do not know how 20 eat correctly that
. tremendous amount Of good can be
done by the wise use Of PerunA.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused perfsrms the function OF digcs-
ton very lAEily. Such stomach allows
the food 10 remain undigestod for some
time aftor II Is swallowed. This leads
70 fermentation Of the food. Sour stom-
ach Is the result. This goes on week
after week, until the hood Is poisoned
with the products OF fermentation. This
condition is very apt 70 produce rheum-
atism.
Its not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum.
atism but correct living. Bat II Is
claimed that Peruna will assist badly
