LAXATIVE FOR WOMEN FREE Tl. ere is a groat difference in the furios'H to which a laxative should be pur. Tablets awl pills, salts, etc.. are usually violent purgatives or cathartics, and altogether too powerful for the average person. A woman at all times needs only a mild laxativi in fact, none other is needed by anyone, weak or strong; though they may be, for the object is simply to move the bowels, and if a gentle laxative will do it. what is the use of a violent one?

Th giant "tickler" known to the lousewlfe as the feather duster has won the enmity of the student of tuercu!osIs. The feather duster as a reator of miniature whirlwinds, is tot to be despised. Like Its natural jrototype, the fruit of its labors Is Jkely to be much ado about nothing, r worse. Its performances are never if any actual value, for the dust rises from one place only to settle down In mother. In the case of the germs of Tuberculosis which haTe previously een scattered by some thoughtless pitter afflicted with the white plague mere Is always a possibility that they nay be included In the dust stirred jp by the Industrious duster. Therelore, the fighter against the spread of .uberculosis places a ban on the feathr duster and proclaims that the proper way to sweep and to dust is to use nolsture on the floor and a damp cloth jn walls and furniture. "Oh, well, there are more Important preventive measures than discouraging the use of the feather dusters," perlaps someone exclaims, forgetting that lome of the other remedies, such as etter living conditions are harder to btaln, and thit little details count when the active and persistent disease ?rm is to be opposed. It is difficult to convince persons whose rule for the acceptance of anything Is "Seeing Is oelieving," that germs are very real, although unseen and more dangerous than some elephants. OLD SOAKERS Get Saturated with Caffeine. When a person has used coffee for a number of years and gradually declined In health, It Is time the coffee should be left off In order to see whether or not that has been the cause of the trouble. A lady In Iluntsville, Ala., says she used coffee for about 40 years, and for the past 20 years was troubled with stomach trouble. "I have been treated by many physicians but all In vain. Everything failed to perfect a cure. I was prostrated for some time, ami came near dying. When I recovered sufficiently to partake oi" food and drink I tried coffee again and It soured on my stomach. "I finally concluded coffee was the cause of my troubles and stopped using it. I tried tea and then milk in its place, but neither agreed with me. then I commenced t.-dng Postum. I had it properly made ai;d it was very pleasing to the taste. "I have now used it four months, and my health is so greatly improved that I can eat almost anything I want and can sleep well, whereas, before, I suffered for years with Insomnia.

If ancient dates may be trusted, the city at the southern end f the channel letveen the Black Sea ind the Sea of Marmora, first known is Byzantium and for the last l.COO rears calif d Constantinople, has been 1 center ef eonfllet between the East md the West between Asiatic and European ideas. The present conflict !s nothing different in this respect from the most aneiont It is th? antagjnlstn between Asiatic MohammedanIsm and European free thought and Tree action, as represented in the young Purk element, that has caused the lownfall of Abdul Hamid. Byzantium was settled. It is recorded, by Greek traders. In the year GG7 B. C. Two natural causes made It farly prominent as a trading point It was an economic center for the grain trade of the regions bordering on the Black Sea. and the (Golden Horn gave rich rewards to fishermen besides offering a large and safe harbor for vessels. Center of Many Wars. Byzantium was the subject of struggles between the early Greek states; It was captured and recaptured many times, and finally became a tributary to imperial Rome. The remains of the ancient city have never been adequately explored; there are miles of tunnels, ancient streets and fragments of buildings buried under the modern Constanliople, which is virtually a city upon the grave of a city. . In th? year 330 A. I), the Emperor Constantlne determined to make a new capital for the Roman Empire. He selected for this surp'e Byzantium, which henceforth was to bp known as Constantinople the City of Constantlne. The modern Constantinople consists of three parts Istamboul or Stamboul. e main city, on a blunt point of land at the southern end of the Bosporus, and opposite Stamboul two lesser towns. Galata, to the north across the Golden Horn, and Scutari, to the east across the Bosporus. The Bosporus Is here about a mile wide; the Golden Horn, an Inlet or harbor pome eight miles long, Is from onethird to one-half mile wide. Galata Is the modern port of commerce - and Is connected with Stamboul by two pontoon bridges. Back of It lies Pera, another ancient settlement, and the modern non-Turkish residence quarter. Iteltnllt by Constantlne. Constantlne virtually rebuilt Constantinople, and at the final disruption of the Roman empire into two great remnants of the former majestic whole It became the capital of the eastern or Greek empire. The great religious schUnt between the two branches of Christianity that In modern days form the Roman Catholic and Greek : x . ..'.' ; : r - TYPE OF AKME.NIAN WOMAN. churches perpetuated and Increased the political differences. From 305 A. I., to 14Ö3 A. D., the eastern empire, with Its seat at Constantinople, kept alive Roman civilization and maintained on its temples the Christian cross. Learning centered at Constantinople as at Rome, and the antagonism between Rome and Constantinople led to the assailing of the eastern city by the crusaders, who captured It in 1201. For fifty-seven years the crusaders held sway; then. In 12G1. they abandoned the eity and it fell back to Its old position as the center of the eastern church until the followers of Mohammed came. In the memorable siege that ended In planting on the dome of St. Sophia the crescent In place of the cross In 1453. The Turk won and the Turk kept. "When all is said that can be said against Mohammedanism It must be admitted that it made unsurpassed fighters in the days when swords rather than gunpowder determined the issue of battles. By his religion the Turk is cleanly, temperate, a total abstainer from alcohol, and a fatalist. When his time has come to die, ami not before, he will die, according to the Koran. Since the Invention and use-of gunpowder he has not been so successful as a soldier; he lacks the discipline and the long range courage that go with modern warfare. But in the early days he was a conqueror wherever he went. Made re.tt by Mobamnied.

It pressed them forward to conquest after conquest. Under Mohammedan rule Constantinople became a semi-oriental city. The Christian churches were transformed into mosques: the streets and buildings took on an appearance of Asia rather than Europe; the local as well as the general government became surcharged with suspicion. Intrigue and desjiotlsn). These conditions have continued with little change down to the preseut day. But the desire for change is abroad, as is evident from the young Turk movement unless this movement after all should prove only an attempt to substitute one despotism for .another. Nothing certain can be said about the Turk's apparent desire for progress. Mosque m Famous Spot. Aside from the Sultan's palace and the other government buildings, the most Interesting structure In Constantinople to the ordinary tourist is the mosque of St. Sophia. Its Interior is considered one of the finest specimens of Byzantine architecture. A3 the Christian church of the divine wisdom the first stone of the building was laid in T32 on the site of several successive churches of the same name, the first of which was erected by Constantlne the Great. Galata and Pent are chiefly inhabited by Christians. Here are the diplomatic headquarters of foreign countries and other non-Turkish Institutions. The two bridges of boats between Galata and Stamboul are crowded with traffic constantly. Scutari Is a town of about 110.000 people and contains numerous manufactories, beside being a large' fruit market. The total population of Constantinople and Its suburbs Is considered to be abotit 1.100,0UO. Nearly two-thirds of the inhabitants of the city proper are Mohammedans. FOX AND A VIXEN.

after following them until 12.15 started to cycle ljome for lunch, says a writer in Country Life. When some two miles from Ranmore ehurch I struck a small road leading toward Effingham villuge and at once decided to ride that way In the hope of seeing hounds again. This narrow road winds through a small wood, uion entering which I heard view halloos and hounds In full cry some distance to windward. I de termined to wait here, as the spot seemed a likely one. and propping uiy machine against a tree took careful cover. After some few minutes a stealthy movement In the leafy woodland drew my attention, and within five yards of me there passed a dog fox. evidently hunted and dead tired. He paused in the roadway some fifteen yards In front of where I stood, when to my astonishment he was joined by a vixen, apparently quite fresh. They trotted on up the pathway for twenty yards side by side, looking for all the world as If they were holding a whispered conversation, when to my surprise the vixen turm-d b-i-k deliberately in their tracks for about fifteen yards, crossing and reerossing In order. I suppose, to make the scent as strong as possible on her own line. She then returned to where she had left her husband. (I presume he must have been her husband, as there seemed to be such a perfect understanding between them), and on reaching that point made off In the opposite direction. I eagerly waited for the hounds to come up. which they did in a few minutes. Throe of them seemed doubtful, but after a momentary pause appeared onvlnced that the new trail was the right one and all departed after the lady with fresh zest and nn h music. I fancy this must have been most satisfactory to poor, weary Reynard, who

"Only n little teeny-weeny bit, Archie, dear, because there isn't any more and the butter man doesn't come until to-morrow." "Very well." said Archibald, like a good husband.

The outlaws of Tonkin whom the French called pirates, are, properly speaking, brigands, who infest the country both on land and water. One of their resorts ls the province of Bacnlnh, where they have just murdered a French ufileer. There th brigands openly and successfully defy the forces of the government. Long Immunity In that quarter has made them numerous and formidable. This need arouse no wonder, considering that the troops In the field consist of native soldiers whose lives are too precious to be risked in frontal attacks on brigand fastnesses. Just before the murder of the officer a band of brigands made Its appear ance on the railway line between Hanoi and Bacnlh and Inflicted loss on some native levies who encountered them. Uiou this the resident went for a detachment of native regulars to deal a blow at the enemy. The troops met the brigands Intrenched In a village, one house In which they had turned Into a fortress, so to sneak. The commander of the troops found himself In a fix. To send the regulars across the open to carry the stronghold by storm, under heavy fire from the brigands, meant heavy loss and certain death to many of his men to little purpose. The only alternative was to blow up the house along with Its garrison. But this resource failed him from no explosives being at hand. The result was that the brigands es-caiH-d. The Haiphong paper rightly wonders why the troops in the field are not supplied with mellulte bonibs. Such engines of destruction would save much loss of life among the soldiery operating against the brigands. Yet no bombs are supplied to the troops, though the brigands have often defied them safely from fortified houses, which the troops would not attack from fear of loss of life not worth while to Incur against outlaws. The result of this weak-kneed policy Is that the brigand bands in that section of Tonkin Increase steadily In numbers and strength. Pessimists say that In time they will become too many to be terrified by melinite bombs. South Chna News. Varlna. Impressions.

Political HIT! TT ' ! ! ! ! f t mil t i ! T1 ! i TTTIm The National Revenues. The anxiety of the framers of the ' new tariff bill to provide an adequate revenue-rasing measure which will meet . 1. , t m . l. 1 üc t uiiiuiiK eiptmses ui uie icunai overnment and also overcome the large deficiency may prove uncalled for The natprosperity country may required for curthe deficit Since April any months. i (he Government's daily revenues have ! exceeded its expenditures, leaving an average daily surplus of over ?G3,000. The increase Is duo to the customs re- ; celpts, while the returns from Internal ! revenue have shown a slight -.ailing off ' from the corresponding period of last year. The daily average receipts from customs from Jan. 1 to April 10 were $1,071.SG1, which Is nearly up to the receipts of the same period in the prosperity year of 1907, amounting to $1,144,801, and well ahead of the average for IOCS In the same months, which was only SS90.072. The returns from Internal revenue during the same period have averaged $750.223, as against $773,078 In 10OS and $S53,320 In 1907. The decrease ls thought to fce due to j tho growth of the prohibition or dry i tj-.i iiiiuuuuui. ci irr ajuiih v . a axtj- ix ri - tge d;tlly total receipts from all sources have been $2,007,SS0, as against $1,S07.i 134 in 1908 and $'-',189,577 in 1907. The average total daily expenditure has i been $2,303,S00, as against $2,2oG.4C0 in ! 1003 and $1,833.500 in 1007. The enj eouraging feature, however, is the fact that the dally tleflc.. has steadily dli minlshed since Jan. 1, when It was Si)o.'."J, to March 10, when It was J?G3,200, and since April 1 the deficit Las disappeared entirely, the average dally receipts showing a surplus of $13.939. If this favorable showing continues until the end of the fiscal year. June o0, the deficit of. $114,000,000, estij mated by the treasury experts at the beginning of the last session of Congress, will be reduced within comparatively comfortable limits, and the Increased revenues from the new tariff i bill as well as the general revival of business activities which Is sure to follow the settlement of the tariff question, will la all probability put the Government on its feet again. There ls also another important feature to be taken Into consideration that is, the cutting off of many superfluous expenses for governmental commissions and the like. In a big and growing country like thisMt Is to be expected that the legitimate demands upon the national treasury will con stantly Increase, and its expenditures must necessarily correspond to a large extent with the nation's growth. But unless all signs fall, the Taft admin istration will give strict attention to the curtailment of its expenses within the narrowest possible limits, and it Is entirely ' probable that a new era in economical government will be Inaug urated. President Taft's thorough ex perience in administrative affairs in the Philippines, with a small income to meet a large outgo, qualifies him admirably for his present task, which he will no doubt discharge to the best advantage practicable. Kansas City Journal. Hevlslon Hysteria. The tariff revision craze has reached that stage, where it is more suggestive of the grotesque than of a well-or dered plan to secure a statesman-like adjustment of tariff duties to actual conditions. liiere has not been a general revision of the tariff In a dozea years, and now the clamor therefor resem bles a vast babel of tongues. Mugwump magazines, Free-Trade "Inde pendent" organs, aud curbstone calam ity shrlekers are all demanding that schedules be cut and slashed. Beardless editorettes are writing letters to women's clubs and pleading with them to send written protest to Congress the protest to be against everything in jeneral, even If not against anything In particular Just so it is a protest. It does not matter what kind of a :arlff measure may be finally adopted is the outcome of the present special lessiou. There Is going to be a wide spread dissatisfaction, and it is not at all unlikely that the Republican party uiay lose tue next congressional elec tion as a result. At the congressional election follow dig the framing of the McKinley tariff law the nation went Democratic. Even William McKinley himself, the great champion of the doctrine of protection and in later years the idol of the Amer ican people, was defeated in an Ohio congressional district. The country was swept by Just such a wave of tariff ripping hysteria as is being witnessed at the preseut time. The consumer had his Inning. He saw the dawn of the day of cheapness for which he had so long been seeking. The wicked Aid riches and Paynes and .the other legislative tools of "vested Interests ' were In a minority and the tariff rippers had everything their n sweet way. It Is not necessary to dwell on the four years of Industrial nightmare which began In 1S92 and lasted until 1S9G. The older iteople know about it. The misinformed who are writing free trade essays do not care about it. People who have passed through these various jeriods aud have watched the drift of things during the recent years are satisfied in their own minds that the country is headed for another ierlor of low tariffs and all around cheapness. They can await the advent thereof with comparative calmness be cause they know that experience alone j ('an tak0 l10 conceit out of the unwise leaders of thought and action and open I their eyes to the real truth. There is this consolation for those who regret the trend, but know It ls inevitable; The Republican party may now and then lose an election because of the voter who Is ignorant of his country's history, or cannot rem-mber farther back than week before last.; but the Republican party never loses two elections in succession upon this Issue. D;'S Moines Capital. The TnrllT Must He Itcdnced. Senator Aldrich's remarks in the tariff debate seem to show that he does not feel Pound, through party pledges, to a general reduction of tariff taxes. .

With that plain understanding the Republican party was continued in power by the people. To say this is not to say that every rate shotild be reduced. But the pledgu was to make Important reductions and, In general, to revise downward. That pledge was accepted in good faith by the people, aud their approval of It was recorded. And the will of the people, expressed with deliberation, is the supreme law. Whether the decision of the people was wise or unwise Is not now in question. It is the duty of Republican leadership to keep the party's pledges :ind obey the jeople's will. And slncT; to do so means less customs revenue, it Is the further duty to find other sources of revenue. An Inheritance tax has been suggest ed. It is inadvisable, because preempted by so many States. An Income tax has been proposed, and ls ob viously more suitable for national use. Though to make it fully effective a constitutional amendment may be required, yet tinder the laws in effect from 1SG1 to 1872 an average of $34,000,000 annually was obtained. There are also other methods of obtaining revenue, such as the stamp taxes of the Civil and Siianlsh wars. These and the Income tax may be annoying, but they place burdens according to ability to lear them, and, !eing felt, they stimulate public interest in economical expenditure. WTiatever may be the discomforts involved, the sovereign people are entitled to what they voted for. They voted to reduce tariff taxes. So, under the penalty of bad faith, the Republican party must reduce tariff taxes and make the best of the situation. Chicago Inter Ocean. Signs of Improvement. Many indications point to an improvement which must register itself In the general treasury situation. The returns received from all the railways which have reported for March show a gain of 11 per ceut by the same roads over the month of 190S. Bank clearings are making a long lead over the corresponding period a year ago. Merchandise imports in March of this year broke all the records for that month. This is an unmistakable sign of a growth In public confidence. Probably the big Iron output, which Is twothirds of that of the high-water mark of the past, is a fair index of the pro portion which the country's aggregate activities at this moment bear to those In the second half of 190C and the first half of 11X37, before the panic was sighted. But the iron and steel output Is Increasing. Merchandise exports in March were below those of the same month in each of the three most re cent years, but they were higher than for that month In any previous time. Exports are increasing, and there is a fair probability that before the end of the present calendar year they will be close to the figures of the most prosper ous days. The heavy increase of im ports is responsible for the growth' in the revenue, which is giving a good deal of encouragement to treasury ofiicials. At the same time the number and the liabilities of business failures are down to lower figures than .have lieen recently touched, showing that trade ls on a solid basis, and that the removal of the uncertainty as to tariff duties is all that prevents business from making a big stride forward. The sharp increase in food prices Is a draw back, but this stands a chance to correct Itself by the larger acreage of spring wheat, of corn and of oats wWIcli is promised. St Louis Globe-Deino-crat. Dlngley Uir Ilevennes. What a really stupid thing ls the arraignment of the DIngley law as a failure at producing revenue Is shown by the treasury report for March. Receipts for the mouth were more than $33,000,000. This is nine millions more than for March of last year. It Is only a little less than for March. 1907, half a year before the panic struck the country. And It muit be remerybered that the complaint against the DIngley law two yars ago was that It produced too much revenue, the surplus for March, 1907, being roughly ten millions. There have been enormously Increased expenditures. For the month they were more than three millions above last year. They were nearly thirteen millions more than for March. 15K)7. Yet, in the face of general commercial depression and reduced inidiiics in all private business, the deficit for this March was only $3,113,0O0, as against ?S,G13,000 last year. The recent gain In receipts has been so heavy that a corresponding increase during the next few weeks and with no pending tariff changes to postpone the resumption of industrial and commercial activity this would be assured would restore the old DIngley law conditions of a surplus revenue.
