FREE TRADER TO BE ENGLAND'S PREMIER HERBERT H. ASQUITH.

(Special Correspondence.) LONDON, Feb. H. Asquith, chancellor of the exchequer, who will succeed to the premiership should continued ill health force the retirement of Sir Henry CampbellBannerman, has represented the district. of Fife in the House of Comhis mons since 1886. He in was elected the to present position 1905, Liberals came into power and Sir Henry was made prime minister.

Prior to his election to the House of Commons at the age of 84 he was successful lawyer, and though M6 has been an active party worker, and the chief lieutenant of Sir Henry prior to the latter's elevation to the premiership, he continued to devote much of his time to the legal profession, As chancellor of the exchequer, however, he has largely abandoned his practice. An accomplished and trained debater, he won quick recognition, Mr. Gladstone giving him ministerial rank after the briefest of training. His greatest success came in opposing Mr. Chamberlain's tariff policy.

He followed him upon his circuit in the most memorable of his campaigns, took up his protection speeches in detail and tore them to tatters with clean-cut, forceful argument, and at once jum g- ed into the forefront as the champion of free trade. Since his return from France, where he went for medical treatment several months ago, the premier's condition has shown little improvement. It. is generally understood that if this condition continues until after Easter he will resign. CAN YOU HELP THIS MOTHER? IF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS BOY NOTIFY THE EDITOR OF THIS NEWSPAPER AT ONCE.

Almost daily we hear of people of advanced years whose pains and aches have been overcome, and whose life has been made more comfortable by the use of Dr. A. W. Chase's Kidney and Liver Pills. Because the liver, kidneys and bowels become sluggish in action, poisonous waste matter is left in the blood, and this brings the pains and aches, 1 the stiff joints, lame back and rheumatism.

Dr. A. W. Chase's Kidney and Liver Pills Help most promptly and cure most thoroughly on account of their direct and combined action on liver, kidneys and bowels. They are the most popular medicine the famous Receipt Book author ever introduced, and are guaranteed by his portrait and signature on the box.

Chief of Police Price, in investigating the burlary at the residence of L. W. Bibly, where James Young, a boarder, had $400 in bills stolen, came across woman's broken garter close to where a the $180 had been found on the floor. Young pleaded not guilty of having owned the garter and the conclusion was reached that it was dropped there after Young went to work last- Wednesday afternoon. Had it been there before he went to work he would certainly have noticed it on the floor, he says.

The officers have a theory of the case and it 18 not improbable that arrests will be made soon. What Shall We Have for Pie?

IS A GREAT ADVANTAGE COMPANY AT AN EXCEEDINGLY LOW RATE WILL MAKE GOOD PROFITS. NEW YORK, Feb. obliged to carry on its construction operations as quietly 8.8 possible, the new telegraph company, the Telepost, is making excellent progress with the 654 tablishment of its lines. "Every ten miles we can get built before the old companies know what we are doing," a Telepost official says, "means saving of at least 50 per cent. That we are making rapid headway with our lines is shown by our expenditures for poles and cross-arms now in place." Besides its own construction, the Telepost, especially in the western will have the advantage of using independent telephone wires.

Using the Delany automatic sending and recelving apparatus, the Telepost can four wires do the work of sixty-eight as operated by the best of existing methods. This gives a tremendous advantage to the Telepost in two most important particulars, first cost and maintenance of lines. This and other economies make possible a high rate of earnings on the Telepost's rate of 25 cents for 25 words between all points. On "teleposts" delivery at destination through the mails, the rate is only 25 cents for 50 words. It's net cost per message is figured at 11 cents, while the Western Union and Postal cost is 30 cents.

This comparison shows a net profit of 14 cents per message to the new company even at its much lower rates. It's true, common skin becomes satin skin using Satin Skin cream and powder. BOSTONIA ORCHES9RA The last number on the Y. M. C.
