A PRETTY MILKMAID Thinks P e r u n a Is a W cnderfiel M edicine. BONDS SELL W ELL ALL BIDS ARE A T GOOD PREMIUM Average Premium o f Nearly 4 P er Cent is O ffered—Interest at 2 Per Cent. O n ly th e Washington, Ju ly 21. — Bids were opened at the Treasury department late yesterday for the fMO,000,000 10*30 Panama Canal bonds, bearing 2 per cent interest, under Secretary Shaw’s circular of Ju ly 2 an 1, although no awards will be made until today or later, it is evident that the entire issue has been aubscirbed for at an average of from 103.94 to 103.96. Mr. Shaw and other officials of the Treasury de­ partment expressed themselves as high­ ly pleased and entirely satistied with the figures obtained. The total number and amounts of bids made will not be ascertained until today, but it is apparent that the whole issue has been subscribed for several times over. The largest and best sin­ gle offer was that of Fisk kobinson, of New York, who made six bids of $5,000,000, each at an average of 103.85. Sm aller bids at higher prices, however, w ill probably reduce the amount which will likely be awarded to ,hem to about $15,000,000. One bid of 106 for the whole iesne came from a man named Lindsay at New Orleans, but on account of conditions named and for other reasons the hid was not considered. Sjveral telegraph­ ic bids were received too late to be con­ sidered, but the prices named were too small to be successful. The secretary having stated that the bonds would be numbered serially be­ ginning with the highest bid, one offer was made at 125 for $1.000, thus secur­ ing to th * b dder bond No. 1. An ex­ amination of the best bids shows that offers of 104 1 1 6 and up aggregated $15,394,860 . 104 to 104 1-16 aggregat­ ed $1,100,880. 103.75 to 104 aggregat­ ed $14,177,000. P ro m ln e. S t.

The only uncertainty is the coming storm— when and where it will break. The advocates of the “ mailed fist” be­ lieve that, by dissolving parliament and provoking a collision now, they will find the revolutionary leaders not prepared for an uprising at Moscow, whereas further delay would nearly give the revolutionists the time needed to organize and to continue the corrup­ tion of the arm y. There are no precedents in Russian history for the execution of an order of prorogation, but today probably will find the palace in possession of the mi­ litia and the surrounding streets deliv­ ered to the emperor’s guards.

Petersburg, Juy 2 3.— Although the victory of the reactionists seems at present to be complete, neither the S t cialists nor the Terrorists have accepted the situation, and, while the people are apparently completely overawed by the display of force on the part of the an thorities, it will be necessary to con­ tinue the use of the bayonet for some tim e. General Trepoff himself is au­ thority for the statement that he has again been warned that he is marked for assassination. Despite this fact, he continues actively at work, although at all times surrounded by a heavy guard. The Socialist members ol the douma have held a number of secret meetings, but so far they have refrained from carrying out their avowed determina tion of issuing a proclamation attacking the czar, the reactionary element and more especially their former allies, the Constitutional Democrats. If they do so, trouble must come. h«iie»t „lie iUlufcu . don’t you know. Miss Pert—What a terrible skeptic you must he.— Phila­ delphia Record. What He Needed.— Mike—Are ye much hurtetl, Pat?

How Good Food may Turn to Poison ECAY is not digestion, you know, even when it takes place in the stomach. D Food decayed in the body after being eaten is as dangerous to health as food decayed before being eaten. Food nourishes or poisons, just accord­ ing to how long it remains in tht I wels undigested. Cascarets are the simplest and surest safeguard against Delayed Digestion yet discovered. Sold in a thin Enamel Box, half as thick as your watch, which fits into the vest pocket or lady's purse as if it grew there. In this round-edged Enamel Box are found six small Candy Tablets. One of these toothsome tablets works wonders for digestion. Soon as placed in the mouth it starts the Saliva flowing, which at once gets to work dissolving it. The Saliva becomes blended with the Candy Cascaret tablet, and from the moment they start going down your throat together they start working to­ gether. Now, what do they work at? Bowel- work, of course—Digestion. t * t Most of the Digestion occurs In the thirty feet of Intestines that connect with the Stomach. They are lined with a set of little mouths, that squeeze Digestive Juices Into the Food eaten. The Digestive Juices thus mix with the food, just as Saliva mixes with Cas­ caret tablets, dissolving and changing that food into nourishment, as it passes along the channel. The Intestines are also lined with m!L lions of little suction pumps, that draw the Nutriment from Food, as it passes them in going through. This Nutriment is then carried Into the Blood, and spread over the Body as Brain, Bone and Brawn. But, when the Bowel-Muscles are weak, the Food moves too slowly to stimulate the little Castric Mouths and there is no flow, or too little flow of Digestive Ju ice, to change the food into nourishment. Then, the food decays in the Be wels, and in the thirty feet of Intestines. When this Decay begins the little suc­ tion pumps draw Poison from the decayed Food, into the blood, instead of the Nutri­ tion it should have drawn. Now, Cascarets contain the only com­ bination of drugs that Stimulates these Muscles of the Bowels and Intestines just as a Cold Bath, or open-air Exercise, stimulates a Lazy Man. Cascarets therefore act like Exercise. They produce the same sort of Natural result that a Six Mile walk in the country would produce, without any injurious Chemical effect. The Vest Pocket Cascaret Box is sold by all Druggists, at Ten Cents. Be sure you get the genuine, made only by the Sterling Remedy Company, and never sold in bulk.
