THE WHITE PLAGUE
SYSTEMATIC WARFARE WAGED
TO WIPE OUT CONSUMPTION.
Warning That Intemperance Increases
the Liability to Contract Disease
—Neglected Colds a Prolific
Source.
Organized effort is now being made
throughout the United Stated to fight
consumption. A warning is given
against intemperate habits. Which in
crease the liability to consumption,
while spitting is public places is de
precated, as the disease is frequently
contracted from dried sputum.
Colds should not be neglected, as
they leave the lungs in a peculiarly
receptive condition for the tuburcu
lar germ. The following simple for
mula will break up a cold in twenty
four hours. A leading authority ob
lung trouble says that when pre
pared from pure ingredients, it will
cure any cough that is curable.
Take half ounce Virgin Oil of Pine
(Pure); two ounces glycerine and
half pint good whisky. Shake well
and use in teaspoonful doses every
four hours.
The. ingredients can he secured
from any good prescription druggist
at small cost, and to avoid suhsitution
should be purchased separately . and
mixed in your own home.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put
up in half-ounce vials for dispensing.
Each vial is securely sealed in a
round wooden case, with engraved
wrapper, with the name—Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), prepared only by
Leach Chemical Co.. Cincinnati, O.—
plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank imitations of Virgin Oil of
Pine (Pure), which are put out under
various names, such as Concentrated
Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam, etc. Never
accept these as a substitute for the
Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as they will
invariably produce nausea and never
effect the desired result.
Economy as the Boy Saw It.
Paul Morton, In a recent address on
insurance, said of a certain proposed
economy:
“That would not be an economy, but
an extravagance, in the long run. It
reminds me of the boy and the jam.
“ 'My son.' said this boy's mother,
'isn't it rather an extravagance to eat
butter with that superb jam?’
" 'No, nta'am, it’s an economy,' the
boy answered. ‘The same piece of
bread does for both.’ ”
There is more Catarrh in this section of the country
than ali other diseases put together, aud until the laBt
few year; w as supposed to be Incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling
to cure with local treatment, pronounced It Incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh tube a constitutional dis
ease and therefore requires constitutional treatment.

POTENT LIQUOR IS SAKE.
Lafcadio Hearn’s Testimony as to
Strength of Japanese Wine.
There is no liquor in the world upon
which a man becomes so quickly in
toxicated as Japanese sake trice
wine), and yet none of wiiich fhe ef
fects last so short a time. The in
toxication is pleasant as the effect of
opium or hasheesh. It is soft, pleas
ant, luminous exhilaration, everything
becoming brighter, happier, lighter;
then you get very sleepy.
At Japanese dinners it is the rule to
become slightly exhilarated, but not to
drink enough to talk thickly or walk
crooked. The ability to drink at ban
quets requires practice—long practice.
There are banquets of many kinds,
and the man who is invited to one at
• w'hieh extensive drinking may be ex
pected is careful to start in upon an
empty or almost empty stomach. 3y
not eating one can drink a good deal.
The cups are very small and of many
curious shapes. One may be expected
to empty 50. A quart of sake is a good
deal; two quzrt3 require iron nerves
to stand. But among the Japanese
there are wonderful drinkers. At a
military officer’s banquet a captain
offered me a tumbler holding a good
pint of sake. I almost fainted at the,
sight of it, for it was only the first.
But a friend said to me: “Only drink
a little and pass it back,” which I did.
Stronger heads emptied <wp after cup
like water.—Letters of Lafcadio
Kearn.
MAY BE COFFEE
That Causes all the Trouble.
When the house is afire, it’s like a
body when disease begins to show, it’s
no time to talk but time to act—delay
is dangerous—remove the cause of the
trouble at once.
‘‘For a number of years,” says a
Kansas lady, “I felt sure that coffee
was hurting me, and yet, I was so fond
of it, 1 could not give it up. I paltered
with my appetite and of course yield
ed to the temptation to drink more.
At last I got so bad that I made up my
mind I must either quit the use of cof
fee or die.
“Everything I ate distressed me, and
I suffered severely almost all the time
with palpitation of the heart. I fre
quently woke up in the night with the
feeling that I was almost gone,—my
heart seemed so smothered and weak
in its action that I feared it would stop
beating. My breath grew short and
the least exertion set me to panting. I
slept but little and suffered from rheu
matism.
“Two years ago I stopped using the
old kind of coffee and began to use
Postum Food Coffee, and from the
very first I began to improve. It
worked a miracle! Now I can eat any
thing and digest it without trouble. I
sleep like a baby, and m;r heart beats
full, strong and easily. My breathing
has become steady and normal, and
my rheumatism has left me. I feel
like another person, and it is all due
to quitting coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee, for I haven’t used any
medicine and none would have done
any good as long as I kept drugging
with coffee.” Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich. “There’s a

NNE STACEY sat with
her back to the light of
her existence and the
chandelier. But the re
spective luminaries re
mained equally indiffer
ent, the one obscured by
his evening paper and
the other by a pink-tissue
shade. So she lifted her
pretty foot to the glow
of the fire—the only glow
that seemed in evidence
anywhere—and engaged in her long
practised game of making the best of
things. But the play went dully this
night, although the coals arranged the
usual pictures for her to gaze into
and the castle-building materials were
all at hand. Now and then she
glanced at a big bowl of violets
which stood on the table neai her,
and in her expression was a curious
blending of indignation and triumph.
There was silence in the room, except
for a slow-pulsed clock, which struck
the quarter-hours reluctantly, and the
occasional rustling of the turning
pages of the newspaper.
She felt strangely lonely. The girls
had gone out, wearing their violets
pinned in the fur and laces at their
bonnle throats. The fragrance of the
flowers at her side swept up with the
memory of the lines which had come
as a valentine to little Jeanne:
This thins' I know, my dear.
My love for you, my dear,
Will last for aye!
“But it doesn't, Jeanne, child,” she
whispered sadly. “It does not last any
longer than the dewr lasts on the
noses. But it is so stveet to be de
ceived!” She sighed. And again her
eyes fell on the violets.
“Who in the world could have sent
them to me?" she murmured. “And
the verses! Impertinent, of course.
But rather dear. The writing looks a
I little familiar, too; but I can't place
it.” She drew a little note from the
dainty little rose-colored bag which
, swung from the ribbons at her waist,
! and scanned it by the firelight. A
half-pleased smile crept up to her
j eyes, as she read:
These tender (lowers are sent to you by
one
To whom you are the starlight and the
sun.
Their fragrance bears a message fond
and true
From out a heart that heats alone for
you.
now cream m: murmured Anne
Stacey, but with commendable for
bearance. “I must show it to Dick!”
She rose determinedly, just as there
was a sound of a sliding paper and a
snore. She turned back and sat down,
and the little foot on the fender tap
ped impatiently.
“Asleep again,” she said, "and it is
only half-past eight! Another tire
some evening ahead of me. Oh, dear,
I don't see why I ever married him!
A man so absorbed in business has no
right to marry. He is so tired and dull
when he comes home that he never
talks. I believe 1 am getting sc I dis
like Dick, anyway. I just won't try to
tell him about the flowers and note.
He doesn't take the trouble to tell me
anything. I wish I knew who sent it
—that’s what I wish!” Her cheeks
were flushed now, and she looked re
sentfully at the form in the big leather
chair. “I won’t tell him a word,” she
repeated — then called sharply:
“Dick!”
Stacey started up. dazedly. “Eh?
Yes. All right! What is it, mam
ma?”
“It’s St. Valentine's eve!”
“The deuce it is! I thought it was
morning. What's up?”
Nothing. The same old nothing.”
There was a pause, after which an
other gasp and snore was followed by
an apologetic: “Did you speak,
mamma?”
“I only said it was St. Valentine's
eve.”
“Oh, yes, so you did.” (Yawn.)
“Who was the old duffer anyway?
Been reading about him for the club?”
(Yawn.l
Mrs. Stacey ignored the question
so coldly that Stacey dimly r<ialized
that something ought to be said or
done.
“This,” he began insinuatingly,
“this isn’t an anniversary of any kind,
that I’d keep still about it!” an
nounced Mrs. Stacey. Her husband
retired behind his paper. This was no
time to discuss racial peculiarities of
language.
“The girls have each received love
ly big bunches of violets.”
'•Bully for the girls! Who sent
’em?”
“We don’t know. Jeanne's came
with a valentine—poetry, you know.”
“Well, of course,” said Stacey, “that
is harder to bear. Know who wrote
it?”
Mrs. Stacey shook her head. “No.
But it is beautiful. She will always
remember it.”
“Will, eh? Can't get it out of her
head, I suppose. Something like that
'Blue - trip - slip-for-an-eight-eent-fare’
business.”
Mrs. Stacey gave wifely inattention
to his joke. Her mind seemed fixed
on other subjects. Finally: “A wo
man always remembers such things.
And sometimes they make dangerous
food for hungry hearts.”
The man behind the paper became
conscious of a meaniug in his wife's
tone. He looked over the top of the
sheet, to sec that her gaze was fixed
upon a bowl of violets on the stand
before the fire. She went on:
“Yon never sent me a valentine,
Dick. But some one else has. I wasn't
going to tel! you—when you were
asleep—”
“Well. I'm glad you didn't then.
But what about it now?”
"There isn't anything more about it,
At least I only know that I received
| a valentine and a bunch of flowers,
and I don’t know' who sent them. I
wish I did. because I am tired of be
ing left alone and neglected and—
so there!”
“Why, mamma! Why—”
“You needn’t ‘Why’ me!” The
pitcher of patience indeed had been
broken at the fountain. Mrs. Stacey
was royally angry and in tears. “What
do you men think women W'ant in this
life? Do you think we are satisfied
with food and fire and clothes? I tell
you we want love and attention as
! much as we do when we were young
: girls! And if husbands are too busy
or too indifferent to give these things,
some other men will!”
She stopped, with shamed sobbing.
! Stacey had rishn and now stood be
side her chair. “What did he say,
Anne?” he questioned quietly.
But she shook her head miserably.
“What did he say?” He reached
down and took her slender hand in
his broad palm. His little ring glim
mered upon it in the firelight.
“I can’t tell you. You—never would
understand—or appreciate—such ten
derness. You—you never have—time
vvnat uia no say, dear?
"Oh, Dick. If only you had made
love to me—if you ever—ever had—”
"Tell me what he said. You can t?
Then let me tell you.”
He knelt down beside her and her
wondering eves saw tears upon his
bearded cheeks. But he reached over
and took the bowl of violets in his
hand as he said:
These tender flowers are sent to you by
one
To whom you are the starlight and tbf
sun.
"Dick! You? You?” She threw
her arms around his neck. Her cheek
was upon his cheek, her eyes seeking
his eyes, as he continued:
Their fragrance bears a message fond
and true •
From out a heart which beats alone for
you.
Then there was silence in the little
room where a man knelt with his wife
in his arms and the quick-pulsed clock
called blithely the quarter-hours as
they ran away with the eve of St. Val
entine.

The Value
OF
Personal Knowledgi
Personal knowledge is the winning (actor in the culminating contests of
competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate
possessor in the front ranks of
The Well Informed of the World.
A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the
highest excellence in any field of human effort.
A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl
edge of Products are all of the utmost value and m questions of life and health
when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an
ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and
gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of
Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component
Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the
world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first
and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known
under the name of—Syrup of Figs — and has attained to world
wide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative. As its pure
laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have
adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup erf Figs and
Elixir of Senna— as more fully descriptive of the remedy,
but doubtless it will always be caUed for by the shorter
name of — Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial
effects, always note, when purchasing the full
name of the Company—California Fig Syrup
Co. — printed on the front of every package,
whether you call for — Syrup of Figs
— or by the full name—Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna.
