j DOCTORS DO TASTE DRUGS. Physician Corrects an Impression "Which ls Widespread, f "Do doctors know how their own medicine tastes?" was a question put to a"group of physicians. .;; "To be sure," said one, "but we haye hard work to convince our pa tients that we do. If you only knew how this, beastly stuff tastes, doctor, you wouldn't ask me to take it'-that iis what they say. And they are .hard-headed people, too, who say that -people who are by no means raving in delirium. It's hard ever to con vince them that a doctor has a tast ing acquaintance with, his medicine. " 'How did you find out about it?' ls one of their trump questions. 'You have never been laid up with all the diseases in the dictionary. How did you learn what the different remedies t?ste like?' It never occurs to ^the average patient that tasting drugs is a part of the medical student's educa tion, and that no man is qualified to practice until he has learned the flavor of the medicines he expects to pr?scribe." * PITS permanently cured.

HOUSE, 13* Leonard St., if Y. Cl, ty. NATIONALPLATFOR?H Principies and Policies of Democrats issued By the Convention CURRENCY. TRUSTS AND TARIFF Sub-Committee, by a Vote of 7 to 3, Votes in the Gold Plank-Yet to be Fought Through the Full Commit tee-Declared That the Increased Production of Gold Has Removed the Issue. Following is the full text of the Democratic platform as adopted by the National Convention at St. Louis. THE PLATFORM. "We, the delegates to the Democratic party of the United States, in national convention assembled, declare our de votion to the essential principles of the Democratic faith which bring us together in hearty communion. "Under them local self-government and national unity and prosperity were alike established. They underlaid our Independence, the structure of our free republic and every Democratic exten sion from Louisiana to California and faithfully in all the States the tie be tween taxation and representation. They yet inspirit the masses of our people, guarding jealously their rights and liberties, and cherishing their fra ternity, peace and orderly develop ment. They remind us of our duties and responsibilities as citizens, and impress upon us, particularly at this time, the necessity of reform and the rescue of the administration of gov ernment from the headstrong, arbi trary and spasmodic methods which distract business by uncertainty and pervade tho public mind with dread, distrust and perturbation. "The application of these fundamen tal principles to the living issues of the day constitutes the first step to ward the assured peace, safety and progress of our nation. Freedom of the press, of conscience and of speech, equality before the lav/ of all citizens, the right of trial by jury, freedom of the person defended by the writ of heabeas corpus, the supremacy of civil over military authority; a well dis ciplined' militia; the separation of Church and State; economy In expen ditures; low taxes, that labor may bo lightly burdened; the prompt and sacred fulfillment of public and pri vate obligations, including fidelity to treaties; peace and friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none; absolute acquiescence in the will of the majority, the vital principle of republics-these are doctrines which Democracy has established as proverbs of the nation, and they should bo con stantly invoked, preached, resorted to and enforced. "1. Large reductions can readily be made in the annual expenditures of the government without impairing the ef ficiency of any branch of the public service, and wc shall insist upon thc strictest economy and frugality com patible with the various and efficient civil, military and naval administration as a right of tho people too clear to be denied or withheld. INVESTIGATIONS PROMISED. "2. The enforcement of honesty in the public service and to that end a ^icrough legislative investigation of : BfcMBsaBve departments of the into contracrefljHt jp or unlawful combiS^B of inter-state trade, exisun5^??^H| tion of lav. We believe that one ol the best methods of procuring economy and honesty in the public service is to have public officials, from the occupant of the White House down to the low est of them, return, as nearly as may be, to Jeffersonian simplicity of liv ing. "3. We favor the nomination and election of a President trained In the ways of the constitution, who shall set his face sternly agaiust executive usurpation of legislativo and judicial functions, whether that usurpation be ruled under the guise of executive construction of existing laws, or whether it take refuge in thc tyrant's pleas of necessity or superior wisdom. TARIFF PERVERSIONS. "4. The Democratic party has been, and will continue to be, the consistent opponent of that class of tariff legis lation by which certain interests have been permitted, through congressional favor, to draw a heavy tribute from the American people. Tho monstrous perversion of those equal opportunities which our political Institutions were established to secure, has caused what may once have been infant industries to become the greatest combinations of capital that the world has ever known. "These publicly favored enterprises have, through trust methods, been converted into monopolies, thus bring ing to an end domestic competition, which was the only check upon the extravagant profits made possible hy the protective system. These indus trial combinations, by the financial as sistance they can give, now control the policy of the Republican party. "We favor a wise, conservative and business-like revision and a gradual reduction of the tariff by thc friends of the masses and for the common weal, and not by the friends of its abuses, its extortions and its discrim inations, keeping in view the ultimate end of "equality.of burdens and equal ity of opportunities, and the constitu tional purpose of raising a rovenue by taxation; to wit, the support of the Federal government ia all its Integrity and virility, hut In simplicity; and keeping also In ?viev.-. as men of com mon sense should, existing conditions, however wrongfully, mistakenly or un justly brought about, and the danger to the cause of tariff reform itself of abrupt and revolutionary reversal of policy. "We should bear in mind, in short, these two thinge: "First, The,general principle that the sole derivation of the power of taxa tion is the support of the Federal gov ernment economically, effectively and constitutionally administered, and, sec ond, the equal truth that in the asser tion of any general principle and in reaching any ultimate end. however sacred and logically unavoidable, due rsgard, but only due regard must and should be paid to actually existing con ditions. TARIFF ON TRUST PRODUCTS. "5. We favor the reduction of tariff taxation upon trust-produced articles to the point where foreign competition may enter the American marked when ever trusts and combines, seeking mo nopoly, raise their prices to the Ameri can consumer above a resonable and just prc.lt, by such reduction depriving trusts and monopolies of the power to extort from the American people un iter shelter of American law, prices higher than those charged foreigners for Identical articles, ISTHMIAN CANAL FAVORED. "The Isthmian Canal: Our party having long and earnestly advocated the construction of an Inter-oceanic canal for the purposes of national de fense and commerce between the States and with foreign nations, we favor the early completion of the Isthmial Canal, But while making this declaration and accepting the results of an accom plished and irreversible fact, we cannot too forcibly express our disapproval of the methods by which, In disregard of the usages and obligations of interna tional law end treaty obligations ca nal route has been required, or too sol emnly record our hope that this pre cedent of defiant diplomacy may never be used against us to our humiliation and injury. TRUSTS DENOUNCED. ' "Trusts and Unlawful Combinations: We recognize that the gigantic trusts and combinations designed to enable capital to secure more than its just share of the joint product of capital and labor and which have been fostered and promoted under Republican rule, are a menace to beneficial competition and an obstacle to permanent business prosperity. We demand .the vigorous and impartial enforcement of the laws already made to prevent and control such trusts and combinations and we favor such further legislation in re straint thereof as experience shows to be necessary. "Corporations chartered by authority ot the people must forever remain sub ject to regulation in thc interest of the people. A private monopoly is indefen sible. We recognize the right of capital in all legitimate lines of enterprise to combine for the increase of business for enlarging productive capacity and for decreasing the cost of production; but when such combination in its pur pose or effect, creates, or tends to cre ate a monopoly in its productions, to restrain trade or to stifle competition; to increase cost to the consumer or to control thc market, it violates the spirit of the laws, because inimical to public welfare and peace and should be so regulated, controlled or prohibited by lav,' as to amply protect the public interests. "We demand that the restraint of such illegal combinations be entrusted tn the Democratic party which is not responsible for their existence, and which has ever protested against their continuance. TRUSTS CONDEMNED. "We condemn the Republican system of legislation under which trusts mo nopolies are enabled to exact higher prices for their manufactured products from our own people than they sell them for abroad. "We demand an enlargement of the powers of the Inter-State commerce commission to the end that the travel ing public and shippers of this country may have prompt and adequate relief for tte abuses they are subjected to in the matter of transportation. "Monroe Doctrine: We favor the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine in its full integrity. "Reciprocity: We favor a liberal trade treaty with Canada. "Army and Navy: We favor the re duction of tho army and of army ex penditure to the point historically demonstrated to be safe and sufficient. We favor the maintenance and liberal annual increase of the navy as our best defense in our isolated continental con ditions against foreign foe and -a source of no possible danger to our lib erties as a people. "We favor the enactment and ad ministration of laws, giving labor and capital impartially their just rights. Capital and labor ought not to be ene mies. Each is necessary to the other, las its ri :ncan pass f??Ton the ground of race or creed, we favor the begin ning of negotiations with the govern ments of such countries to secure by new treaties the removal of these un icst discriminations. "Pensions: The Democracy would secure to the surviving soldiers and sailors and dependants generous pen sions, not by an arbitrary executive order, but by legislation which grate ful people stand ready to enact. Our soldiers and "sailors who defend with their lives and constitution and the iaws have a .sacred interest in their just administration. They must, there fore, share with us the humiliation with which, we have witnessed the ex altation of court favorites, without dis tinguished service, over the scarred he roes of many battle, or aggrandized by executive appropriations out of the treasuries of a prostrate people, in vio lation of the act of Congress which fixes the compensation and allowances of the military officers. SHIP SUBSIDY BILL DENOUNCED. "Merchant Marine: We denounce the ship subsidy bill recently passed by the United States Senate as an iniquitous appropriation of public funds for pri vate purposes and a wasteful, illogical and useless attempt to overcome by subsidy' the obstructions nised by Re publican legislation to the growth and development of American commerce on the sea. We favor the upbuilding of a merchant marine without new or addi tional burdens upon the people and without bounties from the ? public treasury. "Civil Service: The Democratic party stands committed to the prin ciples of civil service reform, and we demand their honest, just and impar tial enforcement. We denounce the Republican party for its continuous and sinister encroachments upon the spirit and operation of civil service rules, whereby it has arbitrarily dis ptnsed with examinations for office in the interests of favorites and, employed all manner of devices to over-reach and set aside +he principles upon which the civ;' . rvica was established. "Condemnation of Polygamy: We de mand the extermination of polygamy within the jurisdiction of the United States, and the complete separation of church and State in political affairs. "Reclamation of Arid Lands and Do mestic Development: We congratulate our Western citizens upon the passage of the measure known as the New laud's irrigation act for the irrigation and reclamation of the arid lands of the West-a measure framed by a Demo crat, passed in the Senate by a non partisan vote and passed in the House against the opposition of almost, iii the Republican leaders by a vote, the majority of which was Democratic. We call attention to this great Democratic measure, broad and comprehensive as it is working automatically throughout all time without further action of Con gress until the reclamation of- all the lands in the arid West capable of re clamation is accomplished, reserving the lands reclaimed for home-seekers in small tracts and rigidly guarding against land monopoly as an evidence o? the policy of domestic development contemplated by the Democratic party, should it be placed in power." _ ; Asks the Chicago Record-Herald: "Just tiri satisfy public 'curiosity, will somebody kindly report how work is progrj;-:v.ir.g on tho Hague palace of Peuce?"

Levantine Has Set Up Studio in New York. Caleb is a high caste Oriental called a Levantine. He has recently opened a studio in Twenty-first street to teach barbaric Americans about Da mascene antiques and the lore of Tn ceDse and Oriental things generally. "It is no small thing," said the dis ciple of Damascus, "hut I've touched the heart with my incense fiddle, and the rest will be easy. The incense fid dle is a heart-shaped instrument play ed In the lap or on the shoulder. The foundation is a sweet-smelling wood inlaid with mother of pearl and gems. When it is laid fiat the little fish-skin surface makes a bowl and receives a thin brass plaque. Incense is burned in the plaque, ^.nd as the fumes rise to the nostrils of the player the spirit moves him, he draws his arrow-shaped bow and improvises the queer melo dies of the Orient. We have incense lamps, tabourettes, rugs, and even vases, but the fiddle seems to be the object around which the American fancy lingers,"-New York Times, f "I find Thedford's Black-Draught a good medicine for liver disease.

THE DANGARS IN DUST. Plea for Less Relentless Activity in the Household. Whether the bacilli that causes tu berculosis in the human being are the same as those which cause it in other warm-blooded animals, and even fish, or whether they merely change their appearance with their environment, is a question for the bacteriological ex pert. That we may become infected from other animals has not the vital interest lhat the undoubted fact has that we can, and do, become infected by the germs that other men carry about, and that the home, the place where we take refuge from the ills of life, is precisely where this dread dis ease attacks us. Inside the lour walls of our houses is where these deadly germs are implanted, are nurtured, and bring forth their harvest. It is at home we must begin to defend our selves. It is the part, of wisdom to 1 do away with the dust-catching drape ries and carpets. Have the rugs shak en and heated out of doors. If you must have carpets, sweep them with ? wet tea leaves sprinkled on them. ? Wipe the furniture with a moist cloth, ; not flirt the dust around with a bunch . of feathers on a slick. Dust is dan gerous. Remember that. Belter to , have some critic write "Sloven" in the dust upon the mantelpiece than cloud the air with it and poison your whole family.-Everybody's -Magazine.

July 4, had a mean temperature of eighty de grees, which is practically normal. The extremes were a minimum ot oi) at Greenville on the first, and a maxi mum of 97 at Blackville, Spartanburg, and Yemasee on the 28th, 29th and 30th, respectively. The sunshine was normal, or slight ly below; the relative humidity about normal, and the winds light to fresh and variable as to direction. Showers occurred over the entire State; they were heavy in thc north ern counties and at places along the coast, and they were fai. y heavy to light in all other sections; drought continues in parts of Colleton, Green wood, Kershaw and Bamberg counties and over very limited areas in a few other counties, but generally the rain fall was sufficient for the needs of all crops, and in places the drought was thoroughly relieved. The rainfall was heaviest in Chesterfield and Marlboro counties, where the amounts ranged from three to nearly five inches. Damaging hail occurred in a few small widely separated localities. The general condition of all crops ls better than last week, and the rains Interfered but little with farm work except in the two counties named above, and in parts of adjacent counties. Field crops continue clean and well cultivated. In the droughty, sections corn is "firing!-' and turning yellow and is tasseling low, but the crop as a whole has improved; early corn is in the silk and tassel stage and has been laid by in good condition. Corn planted on stubble lands has good stands. Cotton is growing rapidly and fruit ing heavily, with some blooms noted pver the entire State; on sandy lands the crop is fine and is as far advanced as usual, but it is small and about two. weeks late on clay and red lands. Sea Island cotton is doing well re cently. Tobacco curing has become general. In places the crop was damaged by hail; new and undesirable growth has started in places after the recent rains. The early rice crop has deteri orated slightly owing to thc scarcity of fresh water for harvest flooding, but the crop is still fairly promising. Peas sown on stubble lands and plant ed with corn have good stands. Sweet potato slips have been set ouc exten sively and are doing well. Pastures and gardens improved where the rain fall was sufficient, but are scant-and poor in the dry sections. Peach ship ments continue heavy, but peaches are scarce in many localities; berries are plentiful. Melons are being market ed.-J. W. Bauer, Section Directeur --,--CtenTs?n Cadets.

Rockefeller Jr., was talking to his Sunday school class about In dustry. "Our industry," he said, with a faint smile, "should not be of such a nature that the remark once applied to a cer tain Scot could ever be applied to us. "I'll tell you what the remark I allude to was. "Two old farmers were walking down a road near Dunfermline when ono of them pointed to a distant field and said, shading his eyes from the sun : " 'That figure over there-I wonder if it's a scarecrow.' "He stopped and regarded the fig ure very attentively for a space. Then he concluded, in a satisfied tone: " 'Yes, it's not moving. It must be a scarecrow.' "But tho other farmer had sharper j eyes and a better understanding, may- j be, of certain types of human nature. ? "'No,' he said, dryly; 'no, it's not I a scarecrow. It's a man working by ! the day.' FIBROID TUMORS CURED. Mrs. Hayes'First Letter Appeal- j ing to Mrs. Pinkham tor Help : I " DEAR MRS.
