WANTS JAP CONSUL
GENERAL RECALLED
Resolution by Member Of Cali
tornla Legislature.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 2 Ex-senator
Marc Anthony introduced In the
upper house joint resolution calling
upon congress to request that the
Japanese consul general at San Fran.
cisco be recalled by his government
on the ground that the official had at.
tempted to influence the action of the
California legislature. The alleged
offense of the consul was that he had
called upon Governor Gillett and
asked him to prevent the enactment
of anti-Japanese bills pending.
In the assembly, on motion of AS
semblyman A. M. Drew, author of the
anti-alien land bill, action on all anti.
Japanese bills was postponed for one
week, when the measures come up as
a special order of business.
When the Drew bill prohibiting
aliens holding land was called up for
consideration in the assembly it's au
thor asked that it be put over. Mr.,
Drew has held conference with Gov.
ernor Gillett and will amend his
measure to conform to the wishes OF
the federal government.

London Bakers In 1910,

In 1910 we find the following Bow
bakeresses accused Of selling halfpen-
ny loaves deficient in weight: Sara
Foting, Christina Terrice, Godiyeva
Foting, Matilda de Bolingtone, Chris
tina Prichet, Isabella Sperling, Alice
Pegges, Johanna de Countebrigge and
Isabella Pouveste. One wonders why
the husbands were not summoned. In
a similar case in 1916, when Agnes
Fotings bread was seized, it was "ad-
judged that her bread should be for
feited and given to the prisoners in
Neugate because her husband did not
come to avow (own) the bread" Are
we to assume that in the absence of
the husbands the bread was merely
forfeited without the infection Of a
fine? An indication of the Importance
Of the breadmaking business is also
found in an enactment of the reign of
Henry III. to the effect that "every

A Skaters Daring.

Few feats of skating have ever ex
celled the exploit Of one of Napoleon's
officers performed shortly after the
fight at Jena in 1906. The emperor dis
patched an officer to Marshal Mortier
requiring him to seize certain impor-
tant towns without delay. When the
officer arrived at the mouth Of the
Elbe, where the river is seven and one
half miles wide, he was threatened
with serious loss of time. The river
was just covered with ice; therefore to
row over was out Of the question. He
could not cross by the nearest bridge
without going twenty miles out of his
way on roads heavy with snow, and
he grudged the time that would thus
be wasted. So he resolved to skate
across the thin, freshly formed ice.
Had he tried walking he would have
sunk at once, but by skimming along
on his skates at the top Of his speed he
got over the river both dry and un-
harmed. By this daring If dangerous
deed he saved six hours, did what Ma
poleon babe him do and won great
credit for his bold and clever exploit.

Tennyson and Lowell.

Mrs. Proctor, the wife of Barry Corn
wall, was great figure in London lit
erary society when Mr.. Lowell was
United States minister at the court Of
st. James. Mrs. Proctor was most
anxious to bring Tennyson and Mr..
Lowell together. Tennyson, who was
whimsical in his prejudices, made va
rious excuses and affected to believe
that Mr.. Lowell was a poet Of little
Importance and an after dinner orator
whose graces Of style were Overrated.
One day Mrs. Proctor told Mr.. Ten
nyson that Mr.. Lowell had written
some lines on her birthday and that
she must insist upon reading them to
him. The English poet looked at her
askance and submitted with bad grace.
Mrs. Proctor did not go further than
the opening line, II know a girl-they
say she's eighty" Tennyson scowled
and sprang to his feet with a gesture
of impatience. ''Too familiarv' he
growled out in high disdain and re-
fused to listen to the remaining lines.
Mrs. Proctor persevered in her efforts
to bring the two poets together, and
they finally met and became intimate
friends. Mr.. Tennyson was a man Of
many caprices and had touch Of shy
ness and cold reserve which made him
unwilling to meet stranger. -

The Care of Goldfish,

The secret of success in caring for
goldfish is to keep the water they are
in fresh and sweet. Their globe should
be emptied and it's water renewed as
often as every second day. Lift each
fish out gently in glassful Of water,
empty the globe, wash it out, then put
in fresh water and put the fish back
again. Clear, sweet rainwater should
be used, and it's temperature should be
raised to Is or 80 degrees by warming
part Of it. Sparkling well water IS
too cold for the fish to thrive in and
too pure, for the animalculae Of rain
water form an important part Of the
food Of these fish. They need no other
sustenance than n very few bread
crumbs sprinkled in their water daily,
for overlooking will kill them very
qufckly.-Housekeep

A REPUTATION

cHAMBERLAIN's COUGH REM
EDY "A FAVoRITE EVERY
WHERE.
Enormous Sale on It Largely Due
to Personal Rec mendations
ofPeople Who Have Been
Cured By II.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been on
the market for over one-third Of a century.
Starting from small beginning it has grown
in favor and popularity until the demand for
it often requires shipments in carload lots.
It is now on sale at almost every drug store
and most country cross road stores in the
United States. There is no question as to
its merits; in fact, the enormous sale on it
has been brought about to large extent by
the personal recommended of people who
have been cured by it. When you use a
remedy for cough or cold and find it far
superior to any other that you have ever
tried, it is natural that you should tell your
friends of your good fortune. It has become
the mothers favorite for coughs, colds and
Group, as they found that it can always be
depended upon, and that it contains no opium
or other harmful drugs. During these years
in which we have been making, selling and
using this prepa: alton we have never known
of a single case of cold resulting in pneu.
monia when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was used, which leads us to believe that it is
a certain preventive of that disease. The
fact that it can be depended upon in every
case has crowned it with the success it enjoys.

Marriages between English actresses
and men Of a high social position be-
gan in the eighteenth century, if no
earlier. There was Lavinia Fenton,
the Polly Peachum Of Gays ''Beggar's
OPERA" who became Duchess Of Boil
ton; there was Miss Farren, who mar
ried Lord Derby; also Miss Brunton
became Lady Craven not long before
Lord Thurlow married Miss Bolton.
Earliest Of the list, though, comes the
Earl Of Peterborough, who married
Anastasia Robinson, the singer, and
kept the marriage secret until a few
days before his death in st. James
palace, when he assembled his relatives
and friends and publicly acknowledged
the woman Ito whom he owed the
best and happiest hours Of his life," a
tardy act Of justice that caused tho
lady to swoon away.

A Sly Dou,

The late DR.. James Freeman Clarke
used to tell this story Of his dog:
cat one time my dog was fond Of
going to the railway station to see the
people, and I always ordered him to
go home, fearing he would be hurt ky
the cars. He easily understood that II
he went there it was contrary to my
wishes. So whenever he was near the
station If he saw me coming he would
look the other way and pretend not to
know me. If he met me anywhere else
he always bounded to meet me with
great delight. But at the station 1t
was quite different He would pay no
attention to my whistle or my cali.
He even pretended to be another dog
and would look me right in the face
without apparently recognizing me.
he gave me the cut direct in the most
impairment manner, the reason evi-
IDENTIFY being that he knew he was
doing what was wrong and did not
like to be found out. Possibly he may
have relied little on my nearsighted-
ness In his maneuver." IL

MICROBES IN The SCALP
The Latest Explanation is That Mi
crobes Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg. Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand Of Paris,
France, share the honor of having
discovered the hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through
few weeks work of these hair mi.
crobes, but is the result of conditions
brought about by their presence.
Badness may not occur until years
after the microbes began work, but
it is certain to come sooner or
later.
The microbes cut off the blood
supply. They feed on the fatty
matter about the root of the hair,
through which the blood is absorbed.
Finally the fatty matter is wholly
consumed, the food supply of the
hair is gone and it starves and
finally dies.
Resorcin is one of the most ehec-
tive germ destroyers; Beta Napthol
is both germicidal and antiseptic;
Pilocarpin, though not a dye, restores
natural color to hair when loss of
color was caused by disease. These
curatives properly mixed with alco-
hol as stimulant, perfect a remedy
unequalled for curing scalp and hair
troubles.
We want everyone who has any
scalp or hair trouble to try Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic, which contains all
these ingredients. If it does not
grow hair on your bald head, stop
your hair from falling out; cure you
of dandruh; make your hair thick,

particular, return the empty bottle

penny paid US for it, without ques-
ton or formality.
Of course, you understand that
when we say Rexall "o3" Hair Tonic
will grow hair on bald heads, we do
not refer to cases where the roots
are entirely dead, the pores of the
the scalp closed, and the head has
the shiny appearance Of billiard
ball. In cases like this, there is no
hope. In all other cases of bald

Killing WILL HELP PROBE CHARGES.

The State fair management has
fallen upon evil days. 1t appears
that in recent report they gave
some bulk figures about the revenues
and expenditures of the fair and
announced that detailed state
ment could be had on application
to the secretary. A member of the
house made such application to Mr..
Cosgrove, but no details were forth
coming. Now he wants an inves-
tigation, and the house, without
debate and with scarcely dissent
ing voice, promptly appointed the
necessary committee.
The resolution presented was
very strongly worded and more than
limited at the use of buildings
erected at public expense for per-
sonal and private profit and the
abuse of concession privileges.
What will come out of it the Pioneer
does not predict, but there is every
indication that the State fair man
agement will be thoroughly probed
and that all the books and papers
will be subjected to an exhaustive
examination unless indeed the board
of directors choose to defy the
authority of the house, and, although
we are not sure that technically the
State fair managers are responsible
to the house or even to the legis-
lature, they would be very foolish to
defy its authority.
Elmer King, the Little Falls attor-
ney, is member of the committee
appointed to investigate the state
fair management, and he, for one, is
determined to probe to the bottom
of the implied charges made in the
house resolution. King is an able
attorney, and he will no doubt
bring out everything that is desired
in the forthcoming investigation.
