LIQUOR INTERESTS TO FIGHT
Claim Destruction of Business by Pro-
hibition Is Illegal.

Cincinnati, March 2jA-The liquor
interests of the country are about to
start fight in the state and federal
courts which will make a new and
more thorough test of their rights I'm
der the Constitution than has any
previous litigation in all the years of
the battle against the liquor traffic.
Circular letters have been received
by local brewers and distillers asking
their cooperation in a meeting soon
to be held in this city to formulate
plans for the fight. ~.
While the circulars could not be
secured for publication it is stated
that the liquor people will ask the
courts Ito determine whether brew
er or distiller who has invested mil
lions in real estate that cannot be re-
moved Or realized upon after the de-
struction of the business, such invest
ments having been made under laws
that apparently secured him in the
building up of large properties and
devoting many lives to its develop
ment, all of which is jeopardized and
destroyed without due process of law
and without compensation for the de-
struction of the property" can be. le-
gally deprived of his rights.
The question is to be raised partic.
ularly in the states where there is
statewide prohibition. Particular ref
erence is made to Tennessee, where it
is said millions invested in such prop
erty has been destroyed.

THEY |NJURE CHILDREN
Ordinary Catharatics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in the
selection of medicine for children,
Only the very gentlest bowel medic
inc should ever be given. Ordinary
pills, cathartics and purgatives are
apt to do more harm than good.
They cause gripping, nausea and
other distressing after:efects that
are frequently health destroying and
a life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the SAT-
est and most dependable remedy for
constipation and associate bowel
disorders. We have such absolute
faith in the supreme virtues of this
remedy that we sell it on our guar
antee of money back in every in
stance where it fails to give entire
satisfaction, and we urge all in need
of such medicine to try it at our
risk.
Rexall Orderlies contain an en-
tirely new ingredient which is oder
less, tasteless and colorless. It en-
braces all the best qualities of the
soothing, laxative. strengthening aud
healing remadial active principles Of
the best known intestinal regulator
tonics.
Rexall Orderlies are extremely
pleasant to take, are particularly
prompt and agreeable in action, may
be taken at any time, day or night;
do not cause diarrhoea, nausea,
gripping, looseness, or other undesir-
able effects. They have very nat
ural action upon the glands and or
gans with which they come IN con.
tact, act as positive and regulative
tonic upon the relax, dry muscular
coat of the bowel, remove irritation,
dryness and soreness, overcome
weakness, and tone and strengthen
the nerves and muscles, and restore
the bowels and associate organs to-
more vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies not only cure
constipation, but they remove the
cause Of this ailment. They also
overcome the necessity of constantly
taking laxatives to keep the bow els
in normal condition.
There is really no similar medicine.

MINERS APPEAR
TO FAVOR PEACE.
Convention Proceedings In
dictate Modified Demands.
SPEECH IS APPLAUDED

Delegate Advocating Action That Will
Result in a Continuation of Work
Receives Approval of His Hearers.
One Resolution Introduced Asks
Only for Recognition of the Union
and the "Check Off"
Scranton, Pa, March 2j.-That the
mine workers now in session in this
city will not resort to the radical step
of ordering a general suspension OF
coal mining in the anthracite fields in
order to enforce their demands on the
employers was indicated by the trend
of proceedings in the brief session of
the convention in Music hall. One
delegate made plea for the adoption
of more moderate demands in the in
terest of peace and a resolution from
one of the local unions read in the
convention advocated the continuance
of work without an agreement until
The men were better prepared to en-
force their demands. The speech for
peace evoked considerable applause
and the resolution was we'll received.
Another resolution asked only for the
recognition of the union and the
"check off" All the resolutions re-
ported to the convention were referred
to the committee which will define
the policy of the anthracite men.
The resolutions committee made a
partial report. One resolution from
local union provided that the conven.
ton drop all demands except recogni-
ton of the union and the "check
off, The committee concurred in the
resolution, but after brief discussion
the resolution was referred to the pol
icy committee.
Another resolution provided that
the miners continue at work without
an agreement until the men can at
more appropriate time enforce their
demands. This was also referred to
the policy committee.
A motion then was adopted that all
resolutions touching the policy of the
anthracite miners be referred by the
resolutions committee to the policy
committee without reading. .--. 49,
If the situation warrants an officer
of the miners union will present a
resolution to the convention asking
President Taft to appoint commits
sion similar to the anthracite coal
strike commission to Investigate the
conditions at present as compared
with those that existed in 1902 in or
der to learn if the demands of the
men are Just. -

Nero's GoIdensAo

. The golden house, Of Nero seems
from all accounts to have been the
most stupendous dwelling place ever
built for a mortal man. Even IL we
regard the ancient descriptions as
somewhat exaggerated It remains one
of the largest royal houses ever built
and the internal decorations seem to
have been incomparably magnificent
It was surrounded by parks, woods
and pools Of great size, which appear
to have been entirely within the walls.
The co1onnades Of the house itself ex-
tended a mile in length and crossed
one Of the main thoroughfares Of the

sacked for masterpieces Of Greek art

A unique idea Of the future state

AS the disembodied soul winged its
way to eternity it encountered two
rocks, upon one of which it must
needs rest. The choice was deter
mined by the morality Of the life in
the flesh. If it rested upon the left
hand rock it was instantly translated
to "Po," or oblivion, state analogous
to the Nirvana Of the orient. If
through early misdeeds, however, the
unhappy spirit was guided to the right

torial hell where fiends grated away
the flesh from all the bones in sue
cession, after which the skeleton was
reclothed and sent back to earth for
another try. There was no haste
about this grating process. It took
something over 10000 years.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

:
Happiness is easily obtained and
yet it is one. of the most elusive
things in the world 1t can be obtain
ed without price or effort and yet
many men with their millions have
never been able to secure it. People
do not obtain happiness because they
do not pursue it in the right way.
Many men set about in their early life
WITH rii.ss aizs1l i6sas ABOUT tins an:
able possession. They conclude that
happiness is a future condition based
on some favorable outcome of life and
its work, and they lay their plans to
work out success that happiness may
follow One man says l viii make my
fortune and then when am at matur-
sity or in the flower of life can take
things easy and be happy. Another
man says viii court fame that may
be honored and in thus winning honor
I will also win happiness. Another
man says will seek pleasures and in
obtaining them will reap happiness.
But no man has ever secured the
secret of happiness by any of these
plans Such men are mistaken as to
what composes happiness. Happiness
comes not from without but from
within. A man to be happy must be
right He must live so that his every
day acts are approved hourly by his
own heart. He must tlnd himself, and
finding himself. must live true to him
self No man whose acts are not APP
proved within can be truly happy. He
may flatter himself that he is doing

afternoon knowing that his life is

and that no man can point the finger
