I'VE brought nothing into this world,
and it is certain we can carry nothing
out" and also the text, Lay up for
yourselves treasure in Heaven"
What the 10Th Century Has Done For
Us.

The man who lived at the time OF
the French Revolution, when the
seeds of freedom, sown in previous
years, were producing a harvest OF
blood, could not conceive the world
existing as it does today. The wild
est flights of his imagination did not
include the far-reachng discoveries
and simple inventions that have
brought revolution in the life Of the
people.
The 10Th century did more for hui
mainly than has any other equal span
of years. In that century nearly ev-
cry science made its greatest pro-
gress. The application of science to
art and industry has bettered the
conditions of mankind throughout the
civilized world. Today eager seek
ers of knowledge coax with steady
persistence mighty secrets from ma
ture, while the practical man stands
near, overhearing all and turning all
to advantage. So it is that modern
man bids earth, air, fire and water tc
do his work or minister to his pleas
ure, and they obey
The record of what was done In
that century has been told by John
McGovern, of the Chicago Tribune, In
his new book, THE Fireside Universe,
ty for Home Circle Study and Enter
tainment.' He tells how the students
of human needs, laborers for the good
of all, have worked in secret labo-
ratories, hidden workshops and be-
hind closed doors, and gives us the
results of their efforts in a few easy
and interesting lessons.
Without book like this such col
lection of information could not be
bought for any sum of money. Nc
Governs book is of absorbing inter
est and of great practical value. Not
a chapter, page or line Is wasted
There is solid information OF the
rarest kind on every topic. He moi
only tells us of the origin and history
of the common articles in daily use
but describes the amazing revelations
of science and tremendous improve
ment in all the arts Of life, and he
tells 1t in an easy and entertaining
way. Few authors have such happy
faculty of combining instruction with
entertainment.

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes

President Taft's recent message sug-
costing an amendment to the Pure
Food and Drugs law in its relation to
Prepared Medicines. does not refer to
such standard medicines as Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound and Foley
Kidney Pills, both of which are true
ingredients whose medicinal qualities
are recognized by the medical pro-
fession itself as the best known rem
edial agents for the diseases they are
intended to counterfeit. For over
hree decades Foley's Honey. and Tar
Compound has been. a standard rem
edy for coughs, colds and affections
of the throat, chest and lungs for
children and for grown persons. and
1t retains today Its pre-eminence
above all other preparations OF its
kind. Foley Kidney pills are equally
effective and meritorious. For sale
by all druggists.

SLOT HcHINt
otRA1oR INDICTED
Pulaski dnty Grand Jury Returns
% Trud bills Against Johnnie
Harding.

Little Rbek. Ark, Sept. 2s.-The
Pulaski Cotnty Grand Jury today re-
turned twenty-five indictments
against the owners and operators of
the slot machines which were run in
this city foi over a month Eighteen
Of the indictments are for Little Rock
and seven are for Argenta. There
are two counts in each Indictment,
one for gaming and the other for ex-
hibiting a gaming device. The mini
mum fine for the first offense is SO
and for the second 500.
In each Indictment there is a count
against Johnnie Harding, the reput-
ed owner of the slot machines. Last
Wednesday it came to the attention
of the Prosecuting Attorney that
Harding was preparing to leave the
city, having already packed and ship
ped out the machines, which had
overnight disappeared from their ac-
customed places. It is said they
were shipped to Indianapolis or Chi
cago, probably back to the manufac-
turer. In order to hold him the
prosecuting attorney caused him to
be arrested and arraigned before
Justice Frank Martin, who released
him on bond until Friday morning.
There were about twenty-five ma
chimes in the two cities, and they
cost from $500 to 5000 each. II
was estimated that they would pay
for themselves In one month, SO sure
was the manufacturer of the reli
ability in working for the house. The
running of the machines has caused
a generally cutlery of condemnation
from press, pulpit and public, an,
the instructions of the court to Thu
grand jury were finally effective tt
their overthrow.
