Into the butter business right away and
see whether the creameries are really sell
ing a pound of butter In a pouna pack
age. Irately It has been called to his
attention that there Is too much water
being sold in the packages of butter for
the purchaser to get hla money'a worth.
Housewives have said when they open one
of the packages they always find the but
ter covered with drop of salted water or
sweat, which Is caused by the butter be
ing made In a high temperature, thus al
lowing the manufacturer to sell 10 to IS
per cent of water and salt In place of
100 per cent of butter. Mr. Johnson ex
pects to go after this proposition right
away and also to see to It that the net
weight of the contents of a package Is
stamped o& the outside of the package, so
that the people will not have to pay for
a lot of heavy packing.
The food commissioner has also been
asked to raise the standard of beer sold
In th retail bare of the state. Only one
brewery, so It has been repprted to the
commissioner, stamps on the outside of
the beer bottles the Ingredients that make

matter In connection with others.

went over th testimony and argued that
It would not be a burden for the board
to give the detailed Information de
manded, as all the Information th board
desired had been furnished It.
Judge Reese, acting for th stats,
argued there was no statute requiring
the board to make any such record, but
on the other hand th statute did pre
scribe Just how the board had to make
Its findings, and this had been done.
Pending an appeal to the supreme court
from a decision of th district court,
which set aside an order of the excise
board, a petition waa filed today In tho
supreme court, asking that the decision of
the district court be set aside until the
hearing, and that the order of the board
lie In force. The court has . the matter
under advisement. Jacob Klamm was re
fused a liquor license to run a saloon
opposite th poetoffice, where he has been
for eight years. He appealed from the
decision of the excise board, which was
reversed by the district court.

The application of Julius lieuach for a
writ of habeas corpus to secure his release
from' the custody of Sheriff Ross, who
arrested him on a charge of violating the
Gibson anti-brewery law, was argued In
the supreme court this afternoon, but the
Judges decided they would prefer to have
the matter gone Into at length before pass
ing on the questions raised. At first the
judges were of the opinion the constitu
tionality of the act could not be questioned
under th complaint filed, but after some
discussion with the attorneys they con
cluded to ask for more authorities and for
a more thorough discussion from both
sides. The complaint charges Bcuach, a
retailer, sold two barrels of liquor at
wholesale, which the petitioner says Is not
a violation of the Gibson act, as that pro
vides a wholesaler cannot be engaged In
the retail liquor business. The petitioner
the act is Incomplete in Itself and la un

hi One of the Important Duties of Physicians and
is to lenrn as to the relative 6tandinp; ani reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful a9 to
the uniform quality and perfect purity tf remedies presented by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies Wit,h proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Wei I-1 reformed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to tha California Fig Syrup Co. only.
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 of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, wo have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by tho 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.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of
Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.

Commenting upon the Independent's views
and professing to speak not "entirely with
out authority," you say:
But any negro, or white mnn, for that
the south" and any republican whoa
"voice la Jacob's voice, but whose hands
are the hands of Esau," preference should
be given the genuine and not the counter
felt. The anti-Roosevelt sentiment of which ths
Independent speaks has been Intensified by
the apparently studied effort to bellttls
Foraker and "eliminate" him as a politi
cal factor because of his stand, whatever
be his motive, for Justice to the "black bat
talion." As representative of the utterances of tha
Afro-American press upon this subject I
quote the followlngw from the Philadelphia
Tribune of Saturday, July 6, the only dally
published by Afro-Americans. In replying
to the New Tork Times the Trlhuno says:
Let the Times fully understand this fart,
that the welcome that was extended to Sen
ator Foraker at Wllberforoe university a
few days ago correctly expresses the feel
ings of the Afro-Amerlran race towards a
truly great man. This foellog lelongs to
the whole race, and not a part, as tne
Times sems to think, nor Is this feeling
simply expressive for his efforts In righting
a great wrong that will ever be a blot upon
the career of the president and his secre
tary of war, hut for his unswerving belief
In doing what he thinks Is right and Just
since he has beon In public life.
We know not whether Mr. Foraker will
be tho choice of the national convention,
nor do we know that he wishes to bo such
a candidate, but the Times can be assured
of the fact that the Afro-American voter
may not be able to name the delegates
from the several northern and Western
states, but they will be an effective foroe
of the board to appear and show cause matter, who declares that the negroes will
