Honest Medicines Versus Fakes

President Taft's recent message
suggesting 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 Fo-
ley Kidney Pills, both of which are
true medicines carefully compound 81
of ingredients whose medicinal
qualities are recognized by the 'medi-
cal profession itself as the best
known remedial agents for the dis
eases they are intended to counterfeit
For over three decades Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound has been a stan
dard remedy for coughs, colds and af-
fections of the throat, chest and
lungs for children and for grown per-
sons, and 1t retains today its pre-
eminence above all other prepare
lions of it's kind. Foley Kidney Pills
are equally effective and mertorious

BERLIN NEWS
COURT AND POLITICAL GOSSIP OF
GERMAN CAPITAL IN TABIOIDS

BERLIN, July 15.--A society Of
some 20 persons had been organized
in Berlin for the purpose of reform
ing the style of mems garments. It
is composed of persons from all sorts
of professions and aims at abolishing
trousers. substituting knickerbock-
ers; while coat and waistcoat are TO
give way to a sort of loose blouse
hanging well down to the knees.
Linen of all sorts is to be discarded.
The newspapers treat the matter
as more or less absurd; and some of
them challenge the members of the
society themselves to appear in pub
lie in the new garb. The Cologne
Gazette goes deeper and points out
that Germany can have no influence
over the worlds fashion for mems
clothing because of the predominance
of the military uniform over civilian
clothing here where even the En-
peror never lays aside his helmet for
a. silk hat
1t thinks that the fashion for
mems Arguments will continue to be
set at London, for "a popular dandy
of London clubdom has more i'm
fiuence in setting the fashion than
the whole of this society of Ger
man scholars, artists and writers.
Wagner, the composer, was red
revolutionist in his early life and
had to flee from Germany on that
account. That period of his career
has been recalled by trial in one
of the Berlin courts.
A little anarchist weekly, Der
freie Arbeiter' reprints an article
signed Richard Wagner, which was
much in the vein of the present day
anarchists in its attitude toward gov
ernments. The states attorney saw
this article and supposed that it was
by some living writer of that name.
He accordingly brought suit against
the EDITOR of the newspaper for en-
couraging disobedience to the laws
and melting class hatred. The edi-
tor. however. pleaded that the article
was a verbatim copy of one written
by the great composer in 1S49, and
reproduced in a recent book on Was-
nea's early life.
The prosecutor declined to admit
this plea as valid He said he would
still bring suit against Wagner him

ton of the court and he moved to
sentence the editor to Imprisonment
for four months The court. howev-

Now that cremation has been made
lawful in Prussia by the passage of
a Dill for that purpose, strong
movement for the erection of ere

in. Berlin is about to decide to erect
one. Charlottenburg and Schoen-
berg have already voted to do so,
and several other of Berlfn's su-
burbs have taken the first step to-
ward action. Cologne is also ex-
pected to act very soon, the city
council having decided as early AS
the year 1907 to accept a legacy for
the purpose of erecting a crematory
The city of Bonn has begun to pre-
pare measure for the town council

A society has recently been
formed at Berlin for the purpose OF
stamping out bribery in business

STRAHORN ON HIS TRAIL

Wide Hollow and Cowiche Exten-
sions of the Northern Pacific
Railway Are Said to Have Been
Discussed by Thomas Cooper

There Is to be more railway con-
struction in the Yakima valley and
in the immediate North Yakima Sec
ton That is the reason Thomas
Cooper was here Wednesday and it is
also the reason that Robert f. Stra-
horn is here today. Mr.. Cooper IS
assistant to President Elliott of the
Northern Pacific railway. Mr.. Stra-
horn is the representative in this state
of the Hartman interests. The
Northern Pacific railway has found
out some of the reasons. nhe Q. w.
R. & N. ticket office in North Yakima
is running close to $4,000 per month
on its passenger sales and close to
100000 per month on it's freight re-
ceipts. The little incident at Donald
recently when an agent on the new
line got away with more money than
the general public believed the whole
receipts of the line to be was another
eye opener to many. These things
have Influenced the Northern Pacific
railway. Other influences are the
business which has gone to the o. w.
R. & n. because of it's street railway
connections. This includes a large
amount of livestock business into and
out Of this valley.
