A well-known physician, who undoubtedly knows, declares that bad breath has broken off more matches than bad temper. 'lhere are ardent lovers who must sometimes wish their sweethearts presented sweeter mouths to be kissed.

Good teeth cannot prevent bad breath when the stomach is disordered. The best cure for bad breath is a cleansing out of the body by use of Lane's Family Medicine the tonic laxative. This is a herb medicine, sold in 25c and 50c. packages by druggists and it is saving more doctor's bills than any other medicine has ever saved. It cures headache.

3. The entire Northwest is threatened with famine as the result of the' strike of switchmen on 13 big railroads. The mills of Minneapolis are at a standstill, 4,000 hands beins thrown cut of work. No flour is being made in the 23 mills; Xo flour can leave Minneapolis while the railroads are crippled. It was said that the entire country would feel the pinch before the" trouble is settled.

There is, besides this, a coal famine in the West; the grain situation is critical and a dozen other industries are hit hard by the strike. The entire network of steel from St. Paul to Seattle in tied up, and not a freight train is runninsr, according, to reports received. The carrying; of perishable freight on passenger trains heretofore allowed by the switchmen, ceases. An attempt by the American Railroad associaiicn to replace the strikers with non-unicn men will bring about a strike that will affect all branches of railroads, and cripple the entire nation, acording to President lrank T.

Howley of the union Of the switchmen are out. Twelve thousand other workmen are idle as the result of the strike. Ten thousand more will be thrown out of employment when the ore docks at Duluth and Superior close down. Five thousand are idle at Great Falls, Mont, where the copper smelters are closed. There was no indication of a prospect of peace.

From Friday 'a Daily. Superintendent H. B. Pcairs left this afternoon oir YVasnington, where it is possible that lie will tender his resignation as superintendent of Haskell institute. Mr.Peaii has contemplated this step for a long time, and while he lias not yet fully made up his mind in the mat-terthe chances arc tnat before he returns his resignation will be in the hands of tne Indian office at Washington.

A STRANGE ADMISSION. i Receipts of Home Telephone People Nearly Equalled the Bell.

In a statement before the mass meeting at the Commercial club rooms last night Mr. McDaniels, general commercial agent for the Bell telephone company, said tne total receipts of the company here for November were about 2,700, and invited anyone doubting the statement to go to the books here and see for themselves. The Gazette has been doing a little investigating. It has learned that the November receipts of the Home Telephone company in Lawrence The prices for jjervice for November were the isame by both companies. The Bell company claims to have three or times as many subscribers as the home.

The two statements make the difference a little more than J5300, which is easily figured down to subscribers. CONGREGATIONAL ELECTION. innual Church Meeting Held on Wednesday Night.

Elevators will run from the basement to the third story, so that the patrons may visit every department without trouble. The store when completed will be as good and as convenient even if not so large, as the great stores of Kansas Chicago or other cities. It is of course impossible to say when all these works will be completed, but the many and great things that are to be done will take many months, for two great buildings have to be erected, and as both are to be splendid ones, it will take along time to complete the work. This enterprise is one of the largest of its kind ever undertaken in Lawrence, and certainly does credit to all concerned.

Lawrence mourned the loss of the fine building and business when the Hoadley fire occurred, but now on the ruins is to built a far better building. The old Innes buildings that have stood so long are to give place to the best in the city. This will mean the expenditure of 6100,000 or more, and will result in the securing by Lawrence of a store such as has never been known here before. It is with pride that the Gazette congratulates the great firm of Innes, Bullene Hackman upon the work it is about to undertake. And, in in common with the whole people of Lawrence and the surrounding country, it congratulates the members upon the success of their business.

Mr. Innes began business in Lawrence more than forty years ago, and he has been successful from the his trade growing constantly until now his individual business is not confined to Lawrence. He owns a large interest in the Wichita business, which is the lnTfrpst in flip smith trpstprn country, and is the president of the Innes company of Wichita. I he present firm of Innes, Bullene Hackman was formed ten years ago when H. B.

Bullene and George Hackman were made members of the firm. Mr. Innes himself relies upon -tie younger men whom he has trained so well to do the hardest of the work, while he takes the general management of all the business. He has been spending the summer in Europe, and while there the negotiantions for the changes contemplated have been made by 44 the boys" as home. Again the Gazette congratulates the finnupon its remarkable success, a success it richly deserves from every standpoint.

The government is also after the Bell telephone company. In his fight on this big and hoggish corporation President Taft will have the hearty support of the business men of Lawrence, regardless of politics.

Building to be Erected by the People's State Bank Will be Occupied. Innes, Bullene Hackman dosed a contract tl.is morning iov tiie lease of the building to be- erected by the Peoples State bank on the lots where the buildings stood that were destroyed by the recent Hoad-ley fire. The Peoples bank folks will begin at once clearing up the ruins, and the work of erecting a new building will be pushed as rapidly as possible. The fire left the buildings a complete wreck, and it will be necessary that they be rebuilt from the foundations. The day that the building is completed, Innes, Bullene Hackman will take possession of it, and move the stocks of goods from the present rooms.

The lease on the Peoples bank building, however, for the present time at least, is temporary. It may be that later on the firm will find it necessary to retain its lease on the building, in order to handle its large and rapidly growing business. At the present time Hhe lease has been made to such time as the Innes, Bullene Hackman company can erect its own building. That building will be on the site of the present two north store buildings occupied by the firm. These the firm owns, and has been unable to purchase either of the adjoining buildings.

Plans and negotiations have been making and going on for a long time, and the end was reached when the, negotiations between the firm and the Peoples State bank were closed with the agreement given. The bank has been very anxious to do all in its power to accommodate the firm, and to that end will exert every efi'ort to hasten the work. The firm will, the moment the last of the stock in their present room is removed, begin tearing down the buildings. It will be no half way destruction: Every brick and stone, and every piece of wood and plaster will be taken away. Then a basement will be constructed, fifty feet wide by 117 feet in length.

Tiiis will be constructed with the idea of giving storage room for reserve stocks, and will therefore be made with solid, moisture proof cement walls, and the rooms it contains will be as pleasant as those on the upper floors. Above the basement will be three stories, each fifty by 117 feet, and each containing two store rooms, making six rooms besides the basement, with a total floor space of 23,400 feet. Each room will be fitted up to carry the goods of its own department, and will be furnished in the latest modern way. The material construction of the new building has not yet been decided upon, but will probably be reinforced cement. The plans will FOR SALE Poland China boars of Morch and April farrow.
