in all the seasons Of their lives, as
maidens. wives and mothers, that
the one simple, wholesome laxative
remedywhich acts gentlyand pleas
antly and naturally and which may
be taken at any time. when the sys-

safety and really beneficial effects,
is Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA.

which is so refreshing to the taste,
that warming and grateful toning
to the stomach which responds SO

A Town That Does Not Exist

Although the town of Ampere, N j..
gives steady employment to over 1000
people, transacts millions of dollars
worth of business annually, and en-
joys the distinction of a separate rail
road station, where a memorial tablet
was formally unveiled by Ambassador
Jusserand of France four years ago,
and has a United States Government
postoffice exclusively for it's use, it
has no existence in fact. 1t lies upon
the border line between Newark and
East Orange, N. j., but as there is no
space between these two cities, it is
partly included with both and under
two municipal governments. The con-
crete evidences of it's existence quot
ed above are due to the presence there
of the Crocker-Wheeler Company,
whose plant, occupying twenty-five
acres, justifies it's individual name.
That the town is jealous of it's exclu-
sive name, given in honor of the great

BITUMINOUS conference
At CLEVELAND, OHIO

Cleveland, O., March 19.-Represen-
tatives of the United Mine Workers of
America in the bitumnous district of
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Hi
nois are gathering here today for a
conference with the operators, which
is set for tomorrow. The demands CT
the union will be considered by the
mine owners, and the result of the
joint conference will be of vital i'm
portance to the coal consumers of the
entire country.
The stand to be taken by the opera
tors will likely depend upon what
strength of leadership ]. P. White, of
the Mine Workers Union, has been
able to show in the crisis. 1t is re-
ported that the union has been busily
engaged in the last few weeks in or
the miners in West Virginia
and other states where the mines
have been worked largely by non
union labor. A big fund has been rails

ed by the miners for carrying on this
work, and if they are successful it will
help them to gain a victory. Practical
ly all coal now going over the piers on
the Atlantic seaboard for export
comes from non-union mines. Most
OF. this export coal has been loaded at
Baltimore and Norfolk, from the
mines of West Virginia and Maryland.
So far the union has not been sue
cessful in building up it's organization
in those two states, and the operators
there have been able to mine coal
when the union-worked mines have
been shut down by strikes.
In case of strike, the operators
say, artificial anthracite made from
the refuse of culm heaps will be re-
sorted to to relieve the fuel famine.
The artificial coal was first expert
mented with in 1902 and found to be
quite serviceable, although of course
not equal to the real article. It is
now used to some extent in hotels
and big apartment houses in place of
steam coal. Large plants for the man.

are being built according to the ope-
rators, which is thought to indicate
that they expect a strike

that there is no other Ampere is the

cific railroad was given the name
some years ago, but the Crocker-
Wheeler Company filed a prompt OBJ

Waterloos in. the world, and Londons
and Parises by the dozens, but only
one Ampere,-and that does not ex-

similar anomaly in that it does not

was ever regarded as more effective
than placing the aforementioned mu-

conscience as refusing food and lodg-

TEST OF TRUE HOSPITALITY
Army Officer Tells of His Best Lesson
In Cooking and Conduct as a
Host.

The old army officer, distinguished
alike for his character and his high
position. had said to his fellow guests
at the little mountain camp that he re-
garded a knowledge Of cooking as a
necessary accomplishment for a gem
tleman and q soldier.
Let me tell you," he continued,
where l received my first and best
lesson in cooking, and in conduct ct

While 1 was yet a very young man
/ had the good fortune to attract the
notice Of an old French gentleman
who. with the remnant of his for
mer large fortune, had come to the
neighborhood of Petersburg, Virginia,
and established himself in a small cot
tage.
I'm this little home the dining-room
and kitchen e separated by a par
tition that extended only five feet
above the floor. AS monsieur was too
poor to afford a waiter or cook, he
himself performed the duties of both.

How awfully funny" said some
one. with a giggle.
1T eve seemed in the least lu-
dtcrous to me-" the old off quietly
responded. After placing the dishes
upon the table, my old friend would
remove his apron, put on a rusty dress
coat, and dispense the hospitality Of
his house with the grace and dignity
Of a prince"
Il understood! Noblesse oblige, and
all that sort of thing murmured the
giggler, contritely. All the same,

hidden affairs and practicing mysteri-

must have been something of a char

the patrons of the schools. The
members of the Cokato schools
having charge Of what has grown
to be one of the most effective and
influential bodies of associated
schools in the state, put in their
own time and money freely, They
held meetings, they paid printing
and livery bills out of their own
pockets. They put in days on the
road, covering the countryside and
buttonholing every man they met.
Agricultural education in the com
mon schools was in the future
then. Nobody knew just what
was wanted nor how to get at it.
Details were still hazy. Many
were opposed to it," No frills and
needless expense in our schools
they croaked. But men and wo-
men all over Minnesota knew they
were on the right track. A square
deal for the country school g." be
came the cry. The boys and girls
on the farms should have a chance
for a good schooling that will vital
ly touch their lives and work.
Make education real and sane in
our schools.

acter to the state courts. where 1t
properly belongs.
I'VE favor the placing Of all state
educational institutions under one
board Of regents, composed Of three
members, thus eliminating expense,
concentrating authority and providing
for more efficient supervision.
I'VE declare that all state officers,
both elective and appointive, should
be allowed pay for only the actual
time given to the service of the
state, and that time employed other
than in the performance of official
duties should be deducted by the au,
thorities charged with auditing salary
vouchers.
I'VE call the esrious attention Of
the Kansas voters to the fact of al.
most general imputation against the
courts of Partially and unfairness
especially in cases Of political and
public character. This Is directly
due to the vicious and corrupting ha-
bit of listing judgeships among the
prizes of political offices. For fifty
years the dominant party in Kansas
has ngidly insisted on excluding all
but Republicans from high and re.
sponsible judicial positions, thereby
committing itself to the policy of a
partisan judiciary. It is high time
that Kansas should provide for a non
partisan Judiciary. We therefore
promise, If given Legislative power,
to pass a law providing for a non
partisan supreme court.
