After the Age of Fifty

From this age the human system
gradually declines and the accumulated
poisons in the blood cause rheumatism
in joints. muscles and back. These
warnings should be promptly relieved
and serious illness avoided by using
the following prescription which comes
from a noted doctor and Is said to have
no equal in curing rheuma tlsm and
restoring physical vigor. Good results
come after the first dose. From your
druggist get one ounce of Toris com
pound dn original sealed paekage) and
one ounce of syrup of sarsaparilia
compound. Take these two ingredients
home and put them into a half pint OF
good whiskey. Shake the bottle and
take tablespoonful before each meal
and at bedtime" If your druggist
does not have Toris compound in stock
he will get 1t for you In few hours
from his wholesale house. Don't be
Influenced to take a patent medicine
instead of this. Insist on having the
genuine Toris compound in the original

why was IL lost? Because the coni-

not have sufficient equipment for saving

tion noticed was in northwest Iowa In
such a firmly established country as that

MANY FLOATS
IN BIG TRADES
DISPLAY LINE
CHAIRMAN WOOD HAS BEEN AS
SURED THAT MORE THAN HALF
A HUNDRED DIFFERENT HOUSES
WILL HAVE REPRESENTATION
IN LINE,

Chairman John G. Wood said yes
terday afternoon that the trades dis
play, to appear on the morning of the
fair, will be not only representative of
the city's business houses in general.
but will constitute quite a surprise
from the rather careful interest which
will be displayed in the decorated
wagons to be in line. About sixty
viii be in line, It is promised, and
those who are now fashioning the
hoats are cudgenng their brains for
original ideas that will better show to
spectators the owners interest in the
Interstate Fair, the promised biggest
thing to occur in many a day in the
history of the city. Practically all the
leading houses have engaged position
and will enter the display. More are
being gotten in shape, and it is pos
sible that it will be one of the most
unique, as we'll as one of the most di
versided of displays that base ever
been offered in Pensacola.
The entire number are going to form
on Zarragossa street, south of the
Plaza, where each will be assigned po-
sition. 1t is possible that they will be
arranged according to date of applica-
ton for space. At least that is the
plan suggested, but the chairman will
have that matter in hand. In order
that the formation may be completed
before the business streets are passed
through, it is likely that the line will
be moved to the head of Palafox wharf,
and then will be taken over a route to
be selected, the entire number to pass
before the grand stand at the fair
grounds for judging. OF course those
who do not desire to make a trip to
the fair grounds and be passed upon
are at liberty to drop out of line, but
ii is the desire of the fair manage
ment that the entire number pass be-
fore the judges reviewing stand, and
be passed upon.

HAS NOT
ENDORSED MAN
INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTOR
HAS NOT BEEN ASKED BY DE-
PARTMENT TO NAME ANYONE
FOR INCOME TAX AGENT.

The Jacksonville Metropolis says:
George Ward has not been appointed
or endorsed by Collector of Internal
Revenue H. Hayes Lewis, to a position
as collector of the income tax for the
state of Florida, according to a direct
statement made by Mr.. Lewis this
morning.
Mr.. Lewis's attention was called to
a statement in a Pensacola paper TO
the effect that Ward had been appoint
ed and endorsed by him for this po-
sition, and he said: There is not a
word of truth in it. I have not nonai-
mated any man, and have consistently
told every one Of the something like
forty applicants for these positions,
that I would take pleasure in their
application and endorsements careful
consideration when the proper time
comes.
The nomination must be made by
the department in Washington, and
they have never even asked me yet to
recommend 4 man. Until they do, if
they do, I shall certainly not hamper
the department by sending in the name
Of any man for one of these or any
other positions.
Mr.. Ward is one Of the many APP
plicants for a position under this new
service, and when the proper time
comes I shall give his application and
endorsements the same careful atten-
ton that 1 shall give every other man."

Champ Clark Exhibits
a Little Spirit.

In declining an invitation to address
the conference of waterways at Hanni-
bal, No. the other day, Champ Clark
a covert dig at Mr.. Bryan although he
did not call the secretary of state
by name. Here is what he said:
I say no word in criticism of other
people in like cases. but 1t seems to
me TO be dishonest for persons to re-
ceive money from the government for
performing their official duties and
then to leave their post OF duty to
make money on the lecture platform.
There are just two points to this
and they both put Clark in a bad
light. In the first place, he was not
asked to make an address for money
and the occasion therefore offers no
excuse. for his going out Of his way
to criticise those who do speak for
money. In the second place, such a
criticism comes with mighty poor
grace from a man who, for years, while
drawing a. congressional salary, aug
mented his income by writing news
paper articles and who has never up
until recently scorned the material
profits of the lecture platform.
There is no occasion for this sudden
exhibition of Understanding virtue on
the part of Mr.. Clark. He is in many
ways a very excellent man, but SO far
as lecturing and writing for money is
concerned, and while at the same time
drawing his salary as congressman,
Champ Clark is in no position to as
sumo this "hoIier than thou attitude.

Iowa has discovered nearly 1900 tax
able fortunes, while the collectors in
the other states mentioned find 10000
in Wisconsin. 10000 in Michigan and
1000 in Minnesota.
In Indiana there is a great variance in
districts. The collector for the Sixth
district reported over 10000 taxable
incomes, While the collector for the
Seventh district could find only 5000.
An interesting feature of the Mime
sofa report is that the collector there
declares there are $50 men in the state
with incomes upward of 100000 an
nually. In Chicago the collector re-
ported only thirty-fve persons with in
comes above 100000.
Large fortunes seem TO predominant
in Minnesota. for there are 1000 men
in that state rated with incomes be-
tween 100000 and $4,000. Indiana
and Michigan are also reported as haV-
ing an unusually large number of citi-
zens with incomes above the $40, 900
mark.

Washington Oct. 20.--Sone time
ago Commissioner of Internal Reeve
nue. w. H. Osborn requested internal
revenue collectors throughout the mid
! die western states to send to the CEN
trail office at Washington estimates on
incomes in their respective districts.
The collectors got busy and their es-
Inmates have just been made public
by Osborn; but he regards them as so
inaccurate that he probably will not
use them to any extent in his plans for
the collection of the income tax.
For instance, the estimates show
that far more wealth is distributed i'll
Illinois outside of Chicago than in the
city. According to. the statement just
issued, 10000 citizens of the Windy
City have incomes ranging from 3d.
600 to $4,000 per year. while $500
citizens of the Eighth district, which
has its headquarters in Springfield,
have incomes within this scope Only
5000 individuals in the Fifth district,
with headquarters at Peoria, are listed.
If the estimates are correct, Iowa has
a larger number of citizens with fat
incomes than either Wisconsin, Mime
