Honest Medicines Versus Fakes.

President Taft's recent message sug-
costing an amendment to the pure food
and drugs law in it's relation to pre-
pared medicines does not refer to such
standard medicines as Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney
Pills, both of which are true medi-
cines carefully compounded of ingredi-
ents whose medicinal qualities are
recognized by the medical profession
itself as the best known remedial
agents for the diseases they are in
tended to counterfeit For over three
decades Foleys Honey and Tar~Com
pound 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
today its pre- eminence above all other
preparations of it's kind. Foley Kidney
Pills are equally effective and merito-
rious. Lee & Osgood Co.

viterbo, Italy. August 12.-Alessandro Lioy, attorney for the defense, who has been accused of unprofessional conduct by the prosecution and rebuked by the court for precipitating violent scenes, was the subject of unfriendly demonstrations at today's proceedings in the Camorra trial.
 Grimeldi, formerly chief of the branch of the Camorra at Castell-A-Mare, took the stand and testified that Lioy had bribed him to bear false witness against Tomasso de Angelis.
 Lawyer Lioy appeared crushed by the revelations of the witness and was hissed by the spectators. It was expected that he would withdraw forthwith from the case, but instead he arose and harangued the audience. He said that he had hoped justice and history would judge him, and declared that he was 8 second Dreyfus. At this assertion the spectators howled. SPEND YOUR VACATION IN 1.-THE

The government crop report was the sensation of the week. It confirmed the very best reports that had been circulated about the condition of wheat, corn and oats In round figures the report shows yield and expectations of yield in the three cereals named of about 300 0O0, 900 bushels less than last year, although the acreage seeded was 100000 acres more than last year. Corn has dropped back to a possI- ble 2 GOO, 900 bushels 500,000, 600 bushels less than last year and 800, 100000 bushels below early expectations. oats falls 400,- OOO 900 bushels short of last year; wheat is about the same, with over 2,000.0Oo acres more area.

Altogether the western roads are up against 1t and the wonder is there has not been heavier break in the prices of their stocks in Wall street.

As a sentimental proposition it is entitled to very honorable mention to the credit of the administration at Washington, but the feeling grows that Congress might better have put in the time revising important tariff schedules and getting that highly important issue settled and out of the
 way. That there must be readjustment of duties downward is generally accepted as inevitable and it looks now as though the country would be cursed with agita- tion over the question until after the next
