Opium Suppression.
The report of Sir j. n. Jordan, Brit
ish minister to China, on the opium
question indicates that there has been
some backsliding in the effort to sup
press the cultivation of the poppy since
the introduction of the republican re-
gime.
The report declares that since the fan
OF the Msnchus, the policy of suppress
sion agreed upon between China and
Great Britain has been weakened, and
that there has been an immense recru-
descence in the cultivation of the drug
In the provinces of Anhui, Human and
the campaign for the suppress
sion of the cultivation of the plant has
been successful, and in consequence the
of Indian opium into these
provinces will cease. But investigation
in other parts of the republic tells a
different tale. In many of the prov
lnees the authorities are powerless to
prevent cultivation; in Others there is
between the powers and the
growers, and in still others the officials
ire not inclined to deprive themselves
Of a rich source of revenue.
The reports, however, are not all from
official sources, many being supplied by
and travellers, so exact fig |
lres are impossible. The minister con-
,ludes with the statement that a great !
ieal must be done before the work of
can be considered as COM
plete.

LOCAL DRUGGIST MAKES STATEMENT
Says Dodson's Liver Tone is the Best Remedy
for Constipation and Sinking Liver He
Has Ever Sold.

Every person who has tried Dodson's g
Liver Tone and knows how surely and
gently it starts the liver to working and
relieves biliousness will bear out the
Power Drug Co. store in this statement
about Dodson's Liver Tone.
SIT is purely vegetable liquid, that
entirely takes the place of calomel,
harmless and pleasant to the taste. that
has proven itself the most satisfactory
remedy for a working liver that
most of our customers have ever tried.
A large bottle sells for fifty cents, and
we do not hesitate to give the money
back to any person who tries bottle
on the strength of this statement and is
not satisfied with the result"
In these days of doubtful medicines
and dangerous drugs, a statement like
the above is pleasant assurance that
Dodson's Liver Tone is a reliable rem
edy for both children and grown-ups.
In buying bottle for immediate or fu-
ture use it is well to make sure you are
getting the genuine Dodson's Liver
Tone and not some spurious imitation
that has copied our claims, but do not
stand back of their guarantee. You
may be certain of getting the genuine
if you go to Power Drug Co. for it.

CUTTERS.

A Swiss couple turned on the gas the
other night and we're found dead the
next morning. The man was Il, the
woman 35. They were believed to be
the wealthiest persons in Switzerland,
their joint estate totaling $4,000, 900.
The reason given for their suicide is
that they had lost interest in life.
The trouble with that couple, we sup
pose, was too much money. Most of us
like to think that we could endure such
an affection with fortitude. Being
pushed to our limit day in and day out,
in order to make things go, we fancy
that money enough to take things easy
would be about as nearly an ideal state
of affairs as this old world has to offer.
But when we tire of fancy's chatter and
sit down and talk things over with fact,
we know good deal better. The man
or woman who does not know the need
of effort, who does not realize that days
were designed for work, is an unfortu-
nate Individual.
Now here were two persons on the
threshold of life's prime. They had
vast means with which to do things.
They were Swiss. Every line of their
country's history was brimmed with in
centive. Hardly physical phase of
their native land but paid tribute to the
high resolve and indomitable courage
of their countrymen and countrywomen.
They could scarcely walk a block of
their own city without meeting man
or a woman who was making fight for
existence that should have shamed their
ennui. Theirs was an environment to
stir the blood. buttress the soul and
charge the spirit with the debt of doing.
The man or woman of large wealth in
any country has tremendous obliga-
ton, but wealth in Switzerland has pos
sibilities of service which, seemingly,
should point the laggard to a career OF
leadership. Yet this couple quit be-
cause they had no interest in life.
1t is fair to think that if they had had
to earn their living, they would not
have surrendered as abiectly as they
have; that they would have fought it
out to a finish. And probably, too,
there are great many persons every
where who go on shouldering the bur-
den manfully and unfalteringly that
might find time an intolerable bore, if
they had any time on their hands. We
all have lot of sympathy for the man
that breaks. under the yoke of poverty
Some of it might be saved for the chap
that collapses under the burden OF
money. The implacable fact that we
have got to work is the salvation of
lot of US.

NEVER HAD "A FAIR CHANCE. !"


We were sore and disgusted few
evenings ago at a conversation we
chanced to hear between some of our
young men. There was quite number
and with one exception they all had a
whine about not haFing fair chance in
the battles of life. TO our positive
knowledge not one OF them had a good
excuse for whining. Throw a sensible
man out of the window ana he'll fall on
his feet and ask the nearest way to his
work. The more you have TO begin
with the less you have in the end. !.
Money you earn yourself is much bright
er than any you get out Of dead mems
bags. A scant breakfast In the morn
ing Of life Whets the appetite for feast
later in the day. He who has tasted a
sour apple will have the more relish for
q sweet one. Your present want will
make future prosperity all the sWeeler.
There IS no excuse for any young man
to be . wilmer in our good toWn.--

JUDGES AND cHANcELLoRs MEET
On August Is at Jackson to Revise Code.

Judge Moore McClung, circuit judge
of the fourth district, has called a meet
ing of circuit judges and chancellors to
be held in Jackson on August 15, for
the purpose of conference with the
supreme court relative to a general re-
vision of the code of judicial procedure.
The necessity of such revision was,
strongly urged by Governor Brewer in
his message to the last regular session
of the legislature, and this message was
accompanied by a memorial from the
state bar association to the same effect.
The matter was favorably received,
bu osno action was ever taken. The
fight for revision will be renewed at
the next January meeting of the legis-
lature, and Governor Brewer will again
call attention to the matter in his mes
sage. The bench and the bar of the
state seem to be perfectly united in this
demand for revision of the code.

Second Daughter Of the President to Be White
House Bride in Fall. Groom Is Twenty
Eight; Bride Twenty -Four.

els Bowes Sayre, of Lancaster, Pa.
The wedding is expected to take place
next November at the White House.
Mr.. Sayre is at present an attorney in

man, of New York.
While close friends of both families
have known of the engagement for some
time, announcement was withheld until
today, the first anniversary of Mr.. Will
sons nomination at the Baltimore con-
vention.
White House officials accompanied
the brief announcement with biogra-
ply of Mr.. Sayre. He is % years of
age, and, after preparing at the Hill
School at Pottstown, Pa, and Law
renceville, N. j., graduated from Will
iams College in 1909.
He was manager of the football team
there, valedictorian of his class and in
terested in Y. M. G. A. work. He spent
two summers with DR.. Wilfred T. Gren-
fell in his missionary work on the coast
of Labrador and stu6ied law at Har-
ward Law School, where he graduated
L., Sno In hoo frary
eled extensively during his vacation,
spending last summer in Alaska and
northern Siberia.
Mr.. Sayre comes from collegiate
family. His father was the late Rob-
ert Heysham Sayre, for long time
president of the board of trustees of Le-
high University and builder of the Le-
high Valley Railroad. His mother was
Martha Finley Nevin, daughter of

Baltimore, and specialized in political
science. She has done much settle-
ment work in Philadelphia, and has
been actively identified with the Y. w.
C. A., having recently made many
speeches in it's behalf.
While Mr.. Sayre is not known to
Washingtonians, be has made several
quiet visits to the White House in re-
cent months, and was frequent visitor
at the Wilson home at Princeton, N. j.

keen interest in Capitol circles, as the
wedding starts the winter season with
an important social function. Not since
Miss Alice Roosevelt and former Rep
resentative Longworth, of Ohio, were
married has there been wedding at
the White House, and prior to that oc-
Cured the wedding of the Clevelands.
