II would be interesting to dwell
upon some Of the heated political dis
turbances in which the bench and

Judges under the Tudors and Stuarts,
the contests between Coke and Bacon
and Coke and Ellesmerc, the infam-
GUS judgments of the Court of Star
Chamber, the despicable stream of
State trials of the seventeenth CEN
tury, the rise of the Inns of Court,
so well described by Fortescue in his
"Rouglsh Equity" which. according

CONSUMER ALONE
 IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE HIGH COST OF LIVING, ACCORDING TO THE RETAIL
 GROCERS' ASSOCIATION.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Bame was fixed today in the matter of the high cost of living. Despite his clamor at the price of eggs and the price of meat and the price of everything, it is he consumer himself who is responsible for the situation,
 That is the dictum Of the Retail Grocers Association, the executive of ficers of whose national association met in Chicago today.
 Did you ever hear of a foreigner crying about the high cos. of lving?' demanded Sol Westerfeld, chairman. of the trade relation committee of the national association. You did not. 1t is the American or the very much Americanized foreigner who does the shouting. Your real foreigner-and he is to be found in practically all neighborhoods-may be a great mea. eater; but when meat is high he cuts down on his supply"
 s. w. Straus, banker, today assert ed that he would endeayor to bring about a conference of the officers of the grocers' association and repre- sentatiyes Of the American Society for Thrift. MT. S4raus is chairman of the organization committee of the so- ciety. The idea of the organization is to raise the standard of individual thrift

Judge O. H. Sumpter, attorney for the prohibition side of the contro- yersy over the question of the issu- ance of saloon licenses in Garland county, said yesterday that he might enter the race for prosecuting attor- hey, after he had defeated the p1r- poses of the petitions for license.
 There has been much said on the subject of bootleeging, or illegal sale of liquors promiscuously, if the lcen- ses are not issued" said Judge Sumpter yesterday, "and l have been asked if the law against the unlaw- ful sale of liquor could be enforced. lt certainly can. have re-estab- lished quite law business. after having devoted too much time to poli- tics, but when 1 win this flight against the issuance of saloon licenses in Hot Springs. I will then take the next step, and set about for the en- forcement of the law"
 Judge Sumpter authorized the fol lowing statement:
 We are not and will not be re- sponsble for any delay that may oc- cur in the hearing of the petition We appeared in the county court on the 3rd, the first day of court after the filing of the petition, and inqnir- ed as to what would be done with it. We will be ready whenever the cour. notifies us that the matter will be heard which, l presume, will be done whenever the attorneys representing the petitioners deem it advisable to take it up.
 ''I shall do all in my power to aid the court in arriving at a just deci- sion in the matter, and hope this will be done by the first of Marc1, in fact, might as well say now that I will have a personal interest in the matter, as I have determined to be- come a candidate for the Democratic nomination for prosecuting attorney Of this district should we succeed in preventing tine issuance of saloon Ii censes within that time.
 If the court decides against the petitioners in time for me to do so, shall make fight for the nomina- tiCn and the principal plank of my platform will be the enforcement of the liquor laws: if no licenses are issued. I could, as prosecuting attor- ney, absolutely prohibit the selling of liquor and prevent "bootlegging' , unless the laws are enforced against the illegal sale of liquor the object of the temperance people will be de- feated As prosecuting attorney | could and would enforce them and we would be recognized as law abid- ing, law enforcing community"

CHINESE BRIGAND
 DEFIES AUTHORITIES
RECENTLY PROCLAIMED HIM. SELF EMPEROR AND STARTS
 ANTIAMERIcAN CRUSADE.

Peing, Jan. 7.-The brigand lHwang Liang, who during the anti4Manchu revolt proclaimed himself Ming Elm peror, still defies the authorities and refuses to permit the American mis- sionaries, who have been for mon-h hs at Foo Chow. to return to their mis- sions in the interior. although he has allowed all other foreigners to do so.
 The American legation has made repeated representations to the Chl- nese foreign office on the subject, but Edward T. Williams, former American charge d'affaires, and Paul s. Reinsch, the present American minister, have been equally unsuccessfully in their efforts to persuade the Chinese gov ernment to take any action.
 In American circles here it is thought that only the landing of force of marines will accomplish the of Chinese treaty obliga- tions, and i. is pointed out that the Japanese and other nations obtain quick satisfaction for their grievances by making naval display.
 It is remarked that neither foreign residents nor the Chinese contemplate the possibility of the United States taking any such action and conse- quently there will be continuance of defiance by Hwang Liang.

TO WARD OFF WINTER
 } COMPLEXION ILLS
(From the Queen.)

To keep the face smooth, white and beautiful all winter, there's nothing quite So good as ordinary mercoized wax. Rough, chapped or discolored skin, inevitable in this weather, is gently absorbed by the wax and re- placed by the newer, fresher skin be- meath. The face exhibits no trace Of the wax, the latter being applied at bedtime and washed off mornings. Creams, powders and rouges, on the other hand. are apt to appear conspic- uous at this season, because of alter hating expansion and contraction of the skin, due to changing tempera- lures. 1 advise you to try this sim pie treatment. Get an ounce of me.- colized wax at any drug store and use like cold cream. This will help any skin at once, and in week or so the complexion will look remarkably youthful and healthy.
 Winds and flying dust often cause squinting and other contortions which make wrinkles. You can quickly get rid of every wrinkle however pro duced by using a harmless face bah made by dissolving oz powdered saxolte in t2 pt. witch hazel.

IS SORE THROAT COMMON?

You may have an idea that there !s less sore throat in this community now than formerly. You are both right and wrong. There are just as many cases of sore throat as ever. There is very much less suffering from sore throat, however. and this beneficial result has been brought about in no small measure by Rexall Throat Gargle.
 Rexall Throat Gargle is the remedy that we invariably recommend in ev- ern instance in which we are asked for something for the relief of sore throat, We have yet to learn of an in- stance in which it did not help toward prompt and satisfactory recovery.
 The next time you have a sore throat-or have a friend who does you cannot do yourself or your friend any greater favor than, to use--or rec ommend the use of-Rexall Throat Gargle More than that, the privilege is always extended of using it en- tirely at our risk, because if it does not relieve, the money paid for it will be refunded without question.

ST. MARY's, MISSOURI.

To Members and Friends:
 So far, those who nave charge of the work of building the mission chapel have not received very much help from either members or friends though few have given quite lib- erally
 As the work on the building is now nearly complete, the financial ques- ton must be faced; because no fur ther mortgage can be placed on the property.
 There is an urgent need for at least $300 before the building itself can be finished
 And this is to request that all members and friends who have an interest in the work (even those who have already givenl, please do their utmost immediately to send in the largest amount they can possibly give.
 If the members over IS years of age will give $3 each, and all under that age 75 cents, this amount will enable us to so far complete the work as to open the chapel for serv- ices. Surely there are no members of the mission who can not do this much.

Mr.. william A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account OF his wide experience

To any one alive Il the develop
ments in the building world, there is
nothing more striking than the steady
growth of the movement toward better
quality in building construction during
the past 10 or Is years. Where for
merly home-builders were satisfied
cheap though gaudy effects In build
ing, there has come to be a general
demand for the best grades of ma
terial and the most thorough work
manship united to form substantial
structures that will endure.
Take the medium-sized dwelling
house, for instance, such as the aver
age family requires. A generation
ago, $4,000 would probably have been
the top figure considered proper fer its
cost Today no II would think of
spending less than twice that amount
If he would build with an eye to per
manent use or future sale.
The Increased cost of labor and ma
terials has had something to do with
this, 1t is true, but not so much as Is
sometimes thought. No! 1t Is the
added comforts and the higher stand

that have brought this about. Modern

these, which were the luxuries of yes

only kind which pays.
