An Intellectual Treat.

There was a most delightful recital
given at the school auditorium last
Thursday evening for the benefit OF
the Manning library, consisting of read
ings, vocal and Instrumental music. The
attendance was not as large as should
have been. out this is attributed to the
threatening weather, those who did at
tend, were well repaid with q high class
and intellectual entertainment. The
readings of Miss Mary Nelson were OF a
very nigh order, and the music by the
several ladies excelled, IN our opinion,
many of the attractions sent out by the
lyceum associations. The following was

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes.

President Taft's recent message sug-
gestine an amendment to the Pure Food
and Drugs law in It's relation TO Prepar-
ed Medicines, does not refer to such
standard medicines as Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney
Pills, both of which are true medicines
carefully compounded of ingredients
whose medicinal qualities are recogniz-
ed by the medical profession itself as
the best known remedial agents for the
diseases they are inteoded to counter
act. For over three decades Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound has been a
standard remedy for coughs, colds and
affections OF the throat, chest and lungs
for children and for grown persons, and
it retains to cay its pre-eminence above
all other preparations of its kind. Fol-
eys Kidney Pills are equally effective
and meritorious. Dickson Drug Store.

fines have been appealed to Wash
ington. The largest shipment of
opium confiscated in a year, that
on Capt. Stevens ship, was located
in the water compartment between
the double keel bottom of the YES
sci. The drug, in half pound tins,
was concealed in big cans, which
were then floated in the water
compartment.
There are huge profits for those
who get past the customs officers
with the drug.
In China, opium costs $12 to
SIG pound.
Struggled into America it sells
at wholesale for $40 to $50 q

Now when one man can easily han

enough to make the game worth
the risk.

not operate from China alone. In

Established.

upon six searchers, under Inspec-

At least three well organized

are engaged in the illegal business
of smuggling opium into this coun-

hundreds of agents, both Chinese
and white, in the ports where opi-
UNI is smuggled.
So successful were the SNUG
