A ‘wonderful new book, entitled “‘The Secret ©f Power,” has just been issued, at an expense ©of over $5000, by one of the leading colleges of the city of New York. This book is from the pen of the sblest gpeclalists of modern times. The authors gave away the copyright on con- dition that 10,000 coples should be distributed to the public free of charge. The Columbla Scieptific Academy is now complying with this contract, and until the edition of 10,000 copies is exhausted you can get'a copy of this book sbsolutely free.

He Advocates the Proposed Codification of Law on Water. — John D. Works, formerly a Justice of the Supreme Court of California, was unanimously selected yesterday by the California Water and Forest Assoclation, on the closing day of its convention, to represent the association before the Leg- isluture in advocacy of the bill reported by a commission to codify the water laws of the State. The consideration of the bill was the special order of the day and | the general idea was that it would be dis- cussed. Directly the association changed its judgment in this matter. Immediate- ly after the convention was called to or- der by Vice President Willlam Thomas, criticisms of the bill and discussions of it that originated outside of the conven- tion, but in response to the invitation of the assoclation’s legislative commission, began to be in evidence. It speedily be- came evident that the convention was about to suffer from too much rather than too little discussion. First Marsden Manson submitted a re- port of the proceedings of the Technical Society, which considered the legislative bill at great length, and with the conse- quence that many thousands of words were in the report. These had all been stenographically takenind the roll that Manson brought to the front was | large and portentous. However, the con- vention concluded to hear it all read. | | Manson’s reading demonstrated that the | Technical Society thad taken great inter- est and that there were valudble sugges- | tions that would be worth consideration on the part of the association’s legisla- tive commission. But the roll of manu- in every walk of life. The hidden mysteries of personal magnetism, will-power and sci- entific character reading are ekplained in an | intensely interesting manner. Two sectet | methods of Dersonal influence are described, | which positively enable any intelligent person | 1o ‘exercise a marvelous influence and control | over any one ‘whom he may wish. = These methods are entirely new and have never be- fore been made public. A reporter has tried them personally and can vouch for their won- derful power, The book also describes absolutely certain methods by which you can read the character, secrets and lives of every one you meet. No | one can deceive you. You can tell what voca- tion is best for you to follow. You can know the secret power by which minds of hushan beings are charmed and fascinated. The new- est, latest end best system of physical and | mental culture and magnetic healinz is fully explained and illustrated by beautiful half- tone engravings. No such book has vver before been published. No such wonderful informa- tion has ever before been placed in the hands | of public. . On account of the mighty power | and influence placed in one’s hands by this | book the Legislature of the State of New York | debated whether or not the State ought to per- mit its promiscuous circulation: but it was | finally decided the good it would accomplish | would greatly overbalance the ill and its dis- | tribution was not interfered with | Not long ago John D.

Mr. Nares of the Fresno Canal Com- any had in his hand at least 10,000 more words on the proposed bill and there were | promises of others. The convention re- ferred the entire mass of matter to its commission. Included was a written com- munication from Arthur L. Adams, the engineer of the Contra- Costa Company, which was brought in by Guy Chick of | Berkeley. On motion of Mr. Chick it was wvoted to have a general legislative and advisory committee of five to assist Mr. Works, but the understanding was that Mr. Works will alone present the merits of the bills favored by the association to the Legislature.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE In Store for Those Who Doubt. / ‘Wken you read that a sufferer of many years’ standing has been completely re- stored to health by using Smith’s Cure- all, you are inclined to doubt the state- ment and, in fact, have no belief in it whatever. The reason for this is that so much is claimed for the Cure-all it is impossible for any one to believe it; if the advertiser confined his claims to the cur- ing of one disease, as do the proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure, readers would have much more faith in published testimoni- als. Those famillar with this great rem- edy know that the testimonials as to its merit may be relied upon implicitly; also toat the cures brought about by its use are little' short of marvelous. The,gen- juineress of the testimonial here given is vouched for and is. but one of thousands received. “I had a friend who had used one box of B0-cent Pyramid Pile Cure that en- tirely cured her. I saw the good effect on her and thought I would try it, as*I had got so I could not sit down without ex- treme pain, and getting up was just as bad; the first box nearly cured me; I got the second box and have had no trouble since. Pyramid Pile Gure does all that it claims to do, and I never miss an oppor- tunity to tell its merits. I speak from ob- servation and personal benefit. Two boxes cured me over a year ago and no return of the trouble since.” Mrs. M. Mconey, 6000 Sangamon St., Chicago, IIl.

The word “-public,” however, has been stricken out in the bill where it relates to arid land, thus | removing any limitation which may have ex- tsted in the orisinal draft of the law. It has been recognized that much of the arid land in private ownership can = be reclaimed only | through governmental agencies and therefore the law as passed is quite liberal in its pro- visions. The law is quite general in muny respects and its appilcation is left largely to cxecutive action. It Is understood, howevet, | that aithough this is the case the works which should be undertaken by the Government are | those which will result in putting more set- tlers on the land and in bringing about an | ownership of the land in. small tracts.

Works of purely local concern and which can be as well or better constructed by privats enterprise should not be held back to await the acticn of the Government, as the intent of the law is obviously to stimulate develop- ment rather than stazpate it.

Trial Package of The Remedy Mailed Free To Show How Easily It Is To Cure Drunkards. The terrible evil of drunkenness has at last found a conqueror. Mrs, Marguerite Armstrong, of New York, tells how shé saved her father from ruln, and her words burn with a new hope to every woman who would rescue a son, brother, husband or father from the scourge of drunkenness, She says: “It Pardly seems to jhe that the public can be interested in my family affairs, but if by telling how I saved father from dying a drunk- ard I can help any other woman to save her loved onme I shall not regret the distasteful publicity. MARGUERI. E ARMSTRONG. “Father is one of those old-style gentlemen, brought up from the cradle with liquor always on the sideboard, and for the past generation has been using a good deal more than is good for him, in fact, he would come home at all hours, night after night, in a state of beastly | intoxfeation. He could not eat ordinary food and almostéwent insane if he could not get a drink of whisky whenever he wanted it. I was actually afraid he would have delirlum tremens and felt the disgrace of his conduct keenly. Sometimes he would be gone for four or five days and we would find him in a dread- ful condition. I saw a notice in one of our pa- pers of a remedy called Golden Specific, to be given secretly in coffee or food, and that they would #end me a free trial. I got It and the first three samples Kept father sober over a week, Seeing that it would actually do the work 1 sent for a full treatment and in less than a month it cured father so that he can- not bear the sight or smell of liquor. Instead of a burden he is now a blessing in our household. I did not tell him he was taking the remedy and he did not know it until he was entirely cured, and he now thanks me for cur- ing him, but I tell him his gratitude is due to Golden_Specific.’ Dr. Haines, the discoverer, will gladly send samples to any woman who has a loved one struggling in the slavery of whiskey, and he is ‘worthy of every woman's confidence. Send your name and address to Dr. J. W. Halnes, 4065 Glenn building, Cincinnatl, Ohlo, and he will mail the remedy to you in a plain package and thus you can begin the cure at once.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. | Few People Know How Useful It Is in | Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safesi and most eflicient disin- fectant and purifier in nature, but few ‘ realize 1ts value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing pur- pose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at , all, but simply absorbs the gases and im- purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables, Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth, and, further, acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which Handsome Parlor Desk for = Has the lady you are going to give a present a writing desk? Have you one?

All druggzists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char- coal and the most for the money is in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges. They are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant-tasting lozenges, the char- coal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter reath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible’ harm can resulr from their continued use, but, on the con- trary, great benefit. | _ A Baffalo physician, in s | benefits of charcoal, says: “T ad: Stu- ents suffering from gas in the st Bowels and o ciear the e‘:n:p‘;':x.loc: e e liver is great %y tqt'd.uly use of them; thsyy w‘::fl t:fl cents a box at drugstores, and although in lon;.llgnge a pner:lt &r:mnfion yet I Dbeliev et more an ter, charcoal mflx.t'l Absorbent Loze; in u‘; the o 3 column 6 thick.
