The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says: Zone of the
objects of the law is to inform the con-
sumner of the presence Of certain harm
full drugs in medicines. The law re-
quires thst the amount of chloform,
opium, morphine, and other habit form
ing drugs be stated on the label of each
bottle. The manufacturers of cham
berlain's cough Remedy have always
claimed that their remedy did not con-
tain any of these drugs, and the truth
OF this claim is now fully proven, as no
mention Of them is not only one of the
safest, but one of the best in use for
coughs and colds. Its valne has been
proven beyond question during the
many years it has been in general use.

THE DOLLAR MARK.
A Theory as to the Organ of
This Monetary Symbol.

Wilmington Star
The origin of the dollar mark
is one of the curios of our finan-
cial history.
In the early days of the nation
there was utter confusion in the
circulating medium. Several OF
the colonies had authorized coins
of different denominations, and
besides these, there were Eng
fish pence, shillings, crowns and
half crowns; French coins
brought from Europe and Cana
da; Spanish coins of half a dozen
denominations, especially real
and doubloons; Mexican coins; in
Pennsylvania Dutch and German
pieces, and along the coast Por-
tuguese and even Italian money
was often seen, brought by sea-
men.
The United States mint was
established in 1871, and the Unit
ed States coinage became, OF
course, the legal tender. The
mixed coinage, however, wa
not at once displaced, but con
' tinued in local use, so that it be
came necessary for merchants IL
, keeping accounts to designate
that a bill was to be paid il
United States currency, or, if il
:, miscellaneous coins, these wer
: received at a discount. So be
! fore the sum total of the bills tn
: merchant was accustomed
write the letters ~. S." sign
. flying United States money. |
+ the hurry of writing the IS
q was often written over the ~;
q then the connecting line at tn
= bottom easily dropped off, and I
f the present day most people III
" consciously commemorate tn
: original practice by making tt
~ two down strokes first, then al
~ ;, ding the "S."

PRESIDENT MAKES TEST.
President Roosevelt Remains in
Saddle IL Hours, Covering 80
Miles, and Shows no Signs Of
Fatigue.

N11ISS, ana OHOWS no OlSnS OF
Fatigue.
Washington Dispatch, 18th.
President Roosevelt rode 80
miles on horseback today, and
when he dismounted tonight at
the White House door, more than
II hours after having departed
therefrom, he did not show any
marked signs of WEAKNESS.
The object of his long day in
the saddle, he explained to a
representative of The Associated
Press after his return, was to
prove to the critics who have
found fault with the recent Or
der requiring all army and navy
officers to take a physical test,
that if the President, who is not
in training, can ride 80 miles in
one day, without being laid up in
bed thereby, it should not be too
much to ask the army, who are
supposed to be in the best OF
physical training all the time tt
ride 80 miles in three days"
!: Mounting his faithful rider
and jumper, Roswell" in from
Of the White House door at 3:3(
o'clock this morning, he dis
mounted at the same place a
$40 o'clock tonight. The jour
ney was to Warrenton, Va, ant
, back. And Virginia roads il
the winter time,' said the Presi
dent, are not usually in tn
, best condition." With the Presi
: dent were DR.. Rixey, surgeon
: general of the navy; DR.. Car.
Grayson, and Captain Archibald
| Butt, one of the President
: aides.
| On the return trip, the last 3
t miles of the journey were mad
! in sleet and rain, while the las
: Is miles were in almost pitc
darkness. Arriving at the Aque
= duct bridge across the Potomac
Y the President refused to take tn
2 carriage which was waiting Their
e for him. When he dismounteo
] his coat and hat were frozen sti1
with sleet and ice.
In less than an hour after re
= turning toas@the White House, tn
t President had changed his ice
: coated clothing for evening dres
and appeared in the dining room
d ready for as hearty a meal as h
has eaten for long time.
If any Of the critics of hi
army riding order" had droI
e ped in about that time, the
: would have been sadly disaE
: pointed, for the President di
:, not show in the least by his wal
i that he had been sitting for neal
= ly II hours in a hard saddle.

An Obnoxious Measure

A bill is before the Legislature at pres
ent which will, If passed, make ordinary
labor, outdoor sports, amusements, ETC..
criminal il INDUCED in on Sunday This
is an attempt by few narrow, bigoted
"reformers" OF the loug cared type to die.
tate to others what they shall or shall
not do on Sunday. 1t is plainly shown
that the measure originated in the minds
OF some who would denounce in the loud
eat terms any attempt to compel them to
remain away from church services. Yet
they boldly ask that people be restained
from following their own inclinations
and attending Sunday ball game or
other harmless amusements even when
they occur at time that will not inter
fere with any, devotional services. Since
bath instead of the Sabbath being made
for man? Since when have those who pro.
fess to be broadminded and full of chari-
ty for what they term the wrong dnings
Of others secured the right to determine
the manner in which all should spend
their weekly day OF rest and recreation?
When do those who enjoy outside sports
or those whe perform small amount of
ordinary labor, or transact . little husi-
ness. ever complain Of the Sunday observ-
ance practiced by those who are striving
to deprive them of their alleged '.inalien-
able rights" to do as they please with
their leisure time? Who is harmed if a
man performs little labor on Sunday
but yet imposes no such condition upon
those who work for him? Whose concern
is it how a man spends his time on Sun
day il he attends to his own affairs and
allows others the same privileges he asks
for himself? The legislature should turn
this bill down at once We are not Of the
Pilgrim fathers and neither is Colorado
