Smuggling Chinese.
Edmonton, Alta., July 14.
Dangerous passes in the Rocky
Mountains are being used to
smuggle Chinese from the prov
ince of British Columbia into
the states of Washington, Idaho
and Montana, according to A.
T. Iiunney. connected with the
immigration department o! the
state of Washington, who was in
Edmonton on official business a
few days ago.
These passes, he said, are
wild and unfrequented and offer
every facility for smugglers to
outwit the customs officials. He
added that Chinese are taken in
automobiles and landed within
walking distance of a remote
railway station on the Ameri
can side at a certain price pei
head.
The traffic was nourismng a
few jtears ago, he continued, but
was finally broken up. Now,
however, the smugglers appear
lo have found a new means of
continuing their work, and as a
result many orientals are com
ing into the states.

SAVES DAUGHTER
Advice of Mother no Doubt Pre
vents Daughter’s Untimely End.
T?endy, Ky.—'“ I was not able to do
anything for nearly six months,” writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, ”and
was down in bed for three months.
1 cannot tell you how I suffered with
my head, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
1o give it up. We tried another doctor,
but he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
^Cardui, the woman's tonic. 1 thought
It was no use for I was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
) took eleven bottles, and now I am able
Vo do all of my work and my own
v washing.
1 think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. My weight has increased,
And I look the picture of health. ”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
■peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know
it will help you, for it has helped so
many thousands of other weak women
In the past 50 years.

PORCELAIN DUE TC ACCIDENT
How the Process of Enameling Was
Discovered by Chinese Workers
Aoout 206 B. C.
Near the year 206 B. C-, In the be
ginning of the dynasty of Han, some
workers In earthenware set their pots
fn the oven to bake, and forgot them.
When they remembered them and
opened the oven doors they found that
the pots were vitrified In shining
spots. In this way the enameling of
porcelain was discovered. Whan
freed of Its drosH the substance grew
lighter, become clear, and acquired
a grain a* line and smooth as vel
vet and a thin, bard, translucent body
that rang like a bell.
The art of monochromatic glaxlng
was discovered In the time of the
dynasty of Sung (960—1280 B. O.)
Occasionally the action of the Are sep
arated the pigments and produced «b
cesslve richness of color. The Mon
gol Invasion checked the progress of
ceramic art. In 1368 Tal-Tsu, the
son of a day laborer, dethroned the
emperor and founded the dynasty of
Ming, whose reign persisted until
1644. Tal-Tsu lost no time in restore
lng the Imperial manufactories. He
gave the national manufactory the
monopoly of the work In porcelain, ex
cepting nothing but the white pottery
manufactured by the artisans of
Tehua. Under the new Impetus all
the ancient methods were revived and
perfected. The system of three-color
and five-color decoration, after a pre
liminary firing, dates from the re
naissance of art under the Ming dy
nasty.—Harper's Weekly.

Bo was a theatrical lover, aad aha

made matters worse. She bad tided
gentle means to get rid of him. but he
had disregarded them with painful per
sistency.
“Dear one," he exclaimed, hurling
himself tragically at her feet, “I love
yon! My life Is yours! Will you taka
itr
She did not look like a murderess,
but she responded, with calm deter
mination:
“I will.''
He gazed at her rapturously.
"Don’t do that." she begged, draw
ing back from him as If tn horror. “I
have taken your life, as you requested
me to do, and you are henceforth to
all Intents and purposes dead."
He seemed dazed.
"I do not," she continued, turning
aside, “desire to have a dead person
In the house, and If you do not go
away at once I shall send for an un
dertaker and have you removed to the
nearest cemetery.”
Then the dreadful situation In which
hls own precipitate folly had placed
him was revealed, and he removed
himself with promptness and dispatch.
Brave Old Oak.

of your childhood, go scurrying ovas

A feeling of Unship comes to you;
a knowledge that all this life about
you In oak and grass and Insect, and
the good dog lying at your feet. Is
but a little part of the ageless flux
and reflux; soothingly as a cool hand

you the realization that soon fears,

As to Chickens.
They are the most dadbusted, <in*
certalnest creatures that walk the
family acre. Almost everybody tries
to raise chickens at one time or an*
other. Looks easy—that's the deceiw
ing part of it.
And it is easy, after you learn one
thing: Little chickens don't know
anything, medium sized chickens
don't know anything, big chickens
don't know anything. ft there Is a
change of an intellectual nature as
the size increases big ones know less
if possible than little ones.
If there is a wire partition In your
pen with an open door at one end the
chickens will try to plunge through
the wire instead of going around and
walking through the door.—Puck.

UNFAIR TO
THE DRUGGIST
The Old Joke About “Something
Ju-»t As Good," Doesn’t Ap
ply to This Drug Store.
You have probably heard doz-,
en.s of times the old story that a i
drug store was. a place to "get
something just as good.” There
is at least one druggist in the
world that you can’t say this
about.
It is certain that an inferior
article will never be substituted
for a guaranteed one by Wal
ker's Pharmacy. Take for in
stance a safe, reliable remedy
for constipation and liver trou
ble like Dodson’s Liver Tone.
This harmless vegetable liquid
has proven so satisfactory a liv
er stimulant and reliever of bil
iousness, and to entirely take
the place of calomel without any
restriction of habits or diet,
that there are dozens of prepar
ations springing up with imita
tions of its claims.
But Dodson’s Liver Tone is ;
guaranteed to do all that is j
claimed for it, and if you are not,
satisfied with it, the druggist
will hand your money bacx
a smile. Any person going to
this store for a bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone will be sure of
getting a large bottle of this
genuine remedy in exchange
for his half dollar. (Adv.)
ABSENCE OF BUGS
In neighborhoods where Ross’
“Dead Quick” spray is used few
er bugs are seen.
It kills insects of all kinds,
their eggs, and breaks up the
tribe. It kills germs; is a de
lightfully clean household disin
fectant, having no equal. Death
to mosquitoes. SoLd' in Newport
by your druggists. (Adv.)
If you want your money to
bring you the biggest value and
you need summer merchandise
