Sarsaparilla has an unapproached
record as a blood*purlfier.
It effects its wonderful cures, not
simply because it contains sarsaparilla
but because it combines the utmost
remedial values of more than ^different
ingredients. There is no real substitute
for it. If urged to buy any preparation
said to be “ just as good” you may be
sure it is inferior, costó less to make,
and yields the dealer a larger profit.

Spokane, May 18.— Responding to
the life r o f rewards aggregating $66,-

and the railroad company for the cap
ture and conviction o f the robbers who
held up and plundered a Great North
ern train near Spokane, detectives are
gathering here from many places. Sev
eral arrived from Denver, and the
Pinkerton force here has ^been increas

Spokane police believe the robbers
made^their way into Spokane and a
close watch is kept on the saloons and
lodging houses. A number of detec
tives are working on the theory that
the desperadoes are hiding in the
mountains back o f Colbert.
Police and railway men say they do
not believe that Charles McDonald,
the notorious train robber who broke
ja il in Helena, Mont., while awaiting
trial for holding up a Great Northern
train at Rondo, Mont., shared in last

Vienna, May 18.— This city is echo

the indignation o f the already overbur

As to the real inward welcome of
the kaiser, there is less certainty.
Despite glowing panegyrics o f the

Chicago, May 18. —According to a

without the loss o f life to a single pas

Chicago, May 18.— Stores in tiers,
with each tier connected by private
elevator with the floors belov, is the
innovation to be introduced in the
downtown business section o f Chicago,
and it is one that will be watched with
interest. The new plan has been de
vised to meet the urgent demand for
more storeroom on State street.
“ I f we can’t hove stores on the first
floor, give us at least show space there
and enough room to run our customers
up to some floor above,” has been the
cry o f those merchants anxious to lo
cate on State street, but unable to find
room, and the estate o f L. Z. Leiter is
the first to meet this urgent demand.
The Leiter estate has had architects
prepare plans for the conversion of the
seven-story building at the southeast
corner of State and Jackson boulevard,
which fronts 40 feet on State and 144
feet on Jackson.
Arch:tects plan to
divide the first floor into seven small
stores, and arrangements w ill be made
for tenants to have private elevators
connecting with as much additional
floor space on the upper floors as they
require.

Pride o f Japanese Buddhists and Its
Treasures Destroyed.
Tokio, May 18.— Sojaji, the famous
Buddhist temple in Shiba park, Tokio,
has been destroyed by fire at a loss of
$ 200 , 000 .
Only those who know the pride of
the Japanese in their temples can con
ceive the effect o f thiB irreparable loss
upon the people.
The Sojaji temple,
next to the great temple at Nikko,
probably was the most famous and pop
ular Bhow temple in Japan.
Its wonderful red gates, which will
be rembered by thousands o f tourists,
were saved from the flames, but inside
the temple compound there remains
only a lonely daibutsu o f bronze, sur
rounded by piles o f wreckage and em
bowered amid the blackened brancheg
of overhanging cryptomeria. A few
other gigantic pieces o f bronze stand
out lonely amid the mass o f ashes, all
that is left o f some o f the most won
derful art treasures that were to be
found in the Far East.
The fire was set by a beggar who
was living in a hole underneath the
structure.
The man was cold and
started a little blaze with a newspaper
and a few sticks for warmth.

ItfS
'~c,
a
James M. Greenwood, superintendent
of the schools of Kansas City, Mo„ for
thirty-five years, attracted attention as
a mere boy by his superior ability In
mathematics. At the age of sixteen he
was at work on a plantation In Arkan
sas. The principal of a private normal
school In that vicinity had heard much
about the boy, "Jim Greenwood,” writes
Mr. Mowry in his "Recollections of a
New England Educator,” and wanted to
seo him, and on a certain Saturday he
walked over to the farm where Green
wood was living and Inquired for tha
boy.
He was told that the young man wns
out In the field plowing, and he wns di
rected how to find the place. When he
came In sight he found the boy plow
ing with a mule and a cow.
The mule was balky and more de
voted to kicking than to helping the
cow drag the plow. The principal of
the normal school, keeping out of sight,
watched the process. After various at
tempts to make the animal do Its duty.
Greenwood took a rope, nnd making a
slip-knot in one end, placed It round
the lower Jnw of the mule, and tied
the other end of the rope to the fet
lock of that leg of the mule with which
It was accustomed to do the kicking.
Then going back to the plow, he gave
the usual slgnnl for the team to atart.
The mule, however, did not Intend to
obey the summons, and Immediately
began to kick. At once this became too
serious an occupation. The slightest
motion of the hind leg pulled severely
upon the lower Jaw, and the kicking
stopped.
Then Greenwood took off the rope,
returned to the plow-handles, and re
peated his command to go ahead. The
team started, and plowed straight on
ward without any further difficulty.
The schoolmaster could not well
avoid the conclusion that a youth who
had the skill thus to conquer a refrac
tory mule would succeed In managing
schoolboys. He Instroduced himself to
Greenwood, talked with him about his
arithmetic, and asked him if he would
like to come to the normal school and
study.
“ What do you want to tantalize me
for? You know I can’t go.”
“ You can’t go? For what reason?"
“ I can’t afford It.”
“ But supi>oae I should offer yon
board and tuition for teaching the
younger echolars? I f you will accept
I will make the bargain with you.”
“ I f you mean It, I ’ll come.”
"When will you commence?"
"N ext Monday.”
So the youth left bis plow and began
his course In the normal school.

HE KNEW HOW TO TEACH.
General Schefket Central Figure In
Turkish Affairs.
Constantinople, May 18.— Muhmid
Schefket Pasha, commander o f the
Turkish Constitutional forces, both on
land and sea, is the man most fre
quently in the thoughts o f those ob
serving or dealing with the confused
politics o f the day in Turkey.
He is the one quiet figure upon
whom rests the preservation o f order.
The civil branches o f the government
look to him to impose their liberal rule
upon the empire and to deal promptly
with persons and factions dangerous to
the state.
The skill and celerity with which
General Schefket brought the third
army corps and part of the second
army corps before Constantinople and
occupied the capitol have amazed the
foreign military men here. Besides
those attached to the embassies, seven
officers came from Germany and five
Britiah.officers from Egypt to observe
the development of the campaign.
They have not ceased to discuss the de
tails o f the Constitutional commander’s
arrangements.
“ The army is merely an instrument
o f civil pewer,” said General Schefket
today. “ The army and I, as an officer
in it, derive our authority from the
national assembly. The army is a fin
ger o f parliament only, and works un
der the w ill o f the cabinet.”
The general had an hour’s talk with
Hilni Pasha, the grand vizier, at the
conclusion of which he said: “ The
grand vizier and I are in perfect ac
cord. We have obstructions to over
come in our progress toward free and
stable institutions.
I hope we will
rise above them.”
Save the Babies.
NFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize th at of
all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly
one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more
than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen!
We do not hesitate to say th at a timely use of Castoria would save a m a
jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say th at many of these
mfantilo deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you. m ust see th at it bears the signature of
Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever.

Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: " I have prescribed your Cas

benefit to my patients.”
Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N Y., says; “ I have used your Cas
toria In my own household with good results, and have advised several
patients to use it for Its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm.” i
Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: “ Having during tho past six
years prescribed your Castoria for Infantile stomach disorders, I most
heartily commend Its use.
The formula contains nothing deleterious
to the most delicate of children."
Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says; “ Your Castoria Is an Ideal
medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe It. While I do not advo
cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria Is an
exception for conditions which arise In the care of children.”
Dr. J. A. rarker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: “ Your Castoria holds the
esteem of tho medical profession In a manner held by no other proprie
tary preparation. It Is a sure and reliable medicine for Infants and chil
dren. In fact. It Is the universal household remedy for Infantile ailments.”
Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says; “ Castoria is one of the very
finest and most remarkable remedies for Infants and children. In my
opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can
furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to Its efficiency
and merits.”
Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Onio, says: “ During the last twelve
years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one o f the best
preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very ef
fective In relieving children’s disorders, while the caso w ith which such
a pleasant preparation can be administered Is a great advantage.”

with organisms that are instrumental
in decomposing manure. The samples
gave strong reactions o f ammonia by
chemical analysis and were even tinted
with the color o f liquid manure. One
particular sample was thus polluted
from a flower bed near the house, the
flower bed having been heavily ma
nured.
In localities where water is piped in
to the house and there is no sewer, the
toilets should be connected with a prop
erly constructed septic tank and the
effluent should be piped a long distance
from the well and empty on the surface
o f the ground, where sun and air may
still further purify it. I f an open clos
et must be used, a concrete vault, well
cemented, should be constructed, in
stead o f a mere hole in the ground, and
lime frequently thrown into it to pre
vent the breeding of flies. Earth clos
ets have been very successful and con
sist of galvanized iron trays or tubs
that may be emptied away from the
premises; dry earth or ashes should be
used in connection with them to absorb
moisture and suppress odor.
It is well known that nlea breed in
human and animal manure; for exam
ple, the deposits o f human excreta are
often seen to be a crawling mass of
maggots, these are the larvae hatched
from the egga deposited by flies, from
this they pass into the pupa stage and
again emerge as flies with the return
o f warm weather.
These flies enter
our^lwellings, walk upon our food and
directly transmit the organisms from
excreta to our food.
Contanimation
does not cease at that, for we have
definitely proven that the organisms
which the flies take into their bodies
from the excreta are not destroyed by
their digestion, and passing from their
bodies with the excreta the germa util
ize this excreta for food and multiply.
Therefore a fly speck containing fifty
germa will increase its numbers fifty
fold.
I f perchance the organism happens
to be the typhoid bacillus, a fly speck
upon an apple, or other food, will
eventually contain thousands o f germs.
This we have conclusively demon
strated by hatching flies in a sterile
box, then feeding them with bread or
sugar saturated with cultures o f the
typhoid bacilli, then allowing them to
excrete upon apples, cabbage leaves,
other material that gives off moisture.
The fly speck, after some time, as
sumes the form o f a colony and is
found to be loaded with living typhoid
bacilli, showing that they had passed
through the fly uninjured and had mul
tiplied abundantly in the fly’s deposit.
It is well known that milk ia an
ideal food for typhoid bacilli, and for
that reason should be well guarded
from the invasion of flies. Keep fliee
out o f the house, especially that part
where food is kept.
Attention should also be called to
the abominable practice o f disposing of
dead animals by throwing their car
casses into abandoned wells, or empty
ing closets into them, for the water
bearing strata will be polluted for
miles. Typhoid fever is a filth dis
ease and any person who thus pollutes
a water supply commits a cilminal
offense.
