my stores in Missouri Valley,

enormous expense such as

If you know some one who
loves violets, and if you could
bring arms and baskets and au-
tomobiles full Of violets and
literally smother her with their
soft petals and divine frag-
rance-then you would not be
able to give as much pleasure
as you can by a gift Of one or

Because in them is the lasting
fragrance of choicest, freshest
French violets-their sweetness

every day throughout the year.

vice-presidents of the United States,
Levi p Morton of New York and Ad-
lai A. Stevenson of Illinois.
When the distinguished company en-
tered the chamber the senate was
still under it's old organization. The
oath of office was Immediately admin
istered to Vice-President-elect Mar
shall, who thereupon became Vice
President Marshall. The prayer of the
day was given by the chaplain of the
senate, Rev. Ulysses G. B. Pierce, pas
tor of All Souls Unitarian church, of
which President Taft has been a mem
Der. After the prayer the vice-presi-
dent administered the oath of office
to all the newly chosen senators, and
Herewith the senate of the United
States passed for the first time in
years into the control of the Demo
cratic party.
Go to Capltops East Portico.
Immediately after the senate cere-
monies a procession was formed to
march to the platform of the east por-
tico OF the capitol, where Woodrow
Wilson was to take the oath. The pro-
cession included the president and the
president-elect, MEMBERS of the SUI
preme court, both houses of congress,
all of the foreign ambassadors, all OF
the heads of the executive depart
ments, many governors of states and
territories, Admiral Dewey of the navy
and several high officers of the sea
service, the chief of staff of the army
and many distinguished persons from
civil life. They were followed by the
members of the press and by those
persons who had succeeded in secur-
ing seats in the senate galleries
When President Taft and the presi-
dent-elect emerged from the capitol
on to the portico they saw in fro t
of them, reaching far back into the
park to the east, an immense con-
course of citizens. In the narrow line
between the onlookers and the plat
form on which Mr.. Wilson was to take
the oath, were drawn up the cadets
of the two greatest government
schools, West Point and Annapolis,
and flanking them were bodies OF reg
ulars and of national guardsmen. The
whole scene was charged with color
and with life.
On reaching the platform the presi-
dent and president-elect took the
seats reserved for them, seats which
were flanked by many rows of benches
rising tier on tier for the accommoda-
ton of the friends and families OF the
officers of the government and of the
press.
MIR. Wilson inaugurated.
The instant that Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Wilson came within sight of the crowd
there was a great outburst of ap-
plause, and the military bands struck
quickly into 1.-THE Star Spangled Ban
ner." Only a few bars of the music
were played and then soldiers and CT
villains became silent to witness re
spectfully the oath taking and to
listen to the address which followed.
The chief justice of the Supreme
court delivered the oath to the presi-
dent-eIect, who, uttering the words,

coca COLA HABIT. A GHOST.

We have all heard Of ghosts, but none
Of us have ever seen me-. It's the same
way with coca cola "hends;" you can
hear about them but you might search
for them until doom's day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds Of thousands Of
drug-habit cases, including opium, NOR
phine, cocaine, alcohol, etc, say that
they have never seen a case where the
use Of Coca-Cola has SC fastened Itself
upon the individual as to constitute a
habit in the true sense Of the word. Al.
though millions Of glasses of Coca-COla
are drunk every year, no Coca-Cola
hends have ever made themselves Wis
ible at the doors Of the sanitariums for
the treatment Of drug habits.
The Coca-Cola habit is analogous to
the beefsteak habit and to the straw
berry habit and the ice cream habit.
People drink Coca-Cola first because
they Q It advertised and thereafter
because It tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink 1t
when they can get It and ~contentedly
do without 1t when they can't get It.
II you nad ever witnessed the rawlings
Of a real drug hend when deprived OF
his drug, II you had ever observed the
agony he suffers, you would never
again be so unfair as to mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with the
"habitforming" drugs.-Adv.

time the association asserts that
while there are $4,000 beds for tuber-
culosis patients in other states, this
number IS very inadequate, hardly
more than n for every eight or ten
needy patients being provided. Some
states have less than 80 beds, and In
not a single one ia there a sufficient
number available.

the death rate from tuberculosis has

Here In New York, just the same

investment.
1T is folly to buy highly specula-

they oscillate the wrong way.
Such people remind me Of Buggins.
