"The Great American Dentifrice"
Sixty years has Sozodont been the Standard Dentifrice of the world. Merit only has made that possible. Millions of people all over the world are using Sozodont because of its genuine value as a cleanser and preserver of the teeth, purifier of the breath and an antiseptic tonic for the gums and mouth. It removes the harmful acids and permeates and invigorates the membrane of the mouth, its effect lasting for hours after use. Teeth of persons subject to an acid or bilious stomach are liable to discoloration, which requires extra friction to remove. The liquid, used every night and the powder or paste in morning, will soon remove all such tartarous adhesions and leave the teeth clean and white, imparting a refreshing feeling to the mouth. Sazodont in three forms:-liquid-powder-paste. Of all Chemists and Stores.

CHAPOTEAUT'S
CHINESE PRESS SUBSIDIES.
The Times correspondent writes from Shang- hai under date March 11th; - 10
In my account of the quarrel between Prince Ching and the censors [published in The Times of Marsh 28] I referred in passing to the im peachment of the Shanghai Taotai Tai Nai huang for squsudering money in buying up Chinese newspapera with a view to stifling their criticism. Just after posting that letter there camo into my hands a full translation, well authenticated, of the memorial submitted to the Throne by the Viceroy Chong Jen-chüu of the Liangkiang provinces on these very charges which he had boon ordered to investigate.. The gist of this extraordinary document has already very briefly been telegrapholl to you; but sorae filler excerpts are woll werth quoting Here for the first time we learn what had bocome of the missing Tha. 180,000, rather, Tis. 160,000 of the Huangpu CosEBIVORCY funds, which were so negently called for and so obstinately withhold at the time when dreiging was stopped last autumn for want of moy. The evident desire to exculpato the Tantal voni charges which the investigator of to-day s himself be called upon to parry to-morrow is also not undeserving of attention.

SEIGEL'S SYRUP CLEANOR
DES THE BLOOD
You can never FREL, well or BE well while your diges tion is out of order. Indi gestion lowers vitality and creates disease. It starves and poisons the body and causes headaches, flatulence, heartburn, palpitation, biliousness, constipation, and anemia.
Well-digested food nourishes. the body, gives bloom to the checks, sparkle to the eye, buoyancy to the mind, and vigour to the limbs. Mother Seigel's Syrup is made from the ex- tracts of certain roots, barks, and leaves, which exert a remarkable curative and tonic effect on the stomach, liver, and bowels. Taken after meals, it ensures good digestion and makes food nourish you.

Of these same, the Finance Office of Kiangnan, the Province of Yuunan, and the Northern Commissioner of Trade were to contribute varying proportions. The bulk of the money, Tls 160.740, would come out of the Taçtai's treasury.

A report was made to the effect that this latter amount is borrowed from interest accrued on Huangpa-Conservancy funds, to be replaced by the incumbent of the pist of the Shanghai Taotaiship, whether acting or substantive, with a yearly contribution of After this comes an elaborate account of how public funds may be manipulated, by being put out to interest in different industrief enterprises, in order to provide for the anticipated yearly deficit of Tis. 30,000 in the working of the 10wspapers. Such concludes the Viceroy, "are the true circumstances resulting from investigation with reference to the relenption of the several newspapers of Shanghai'

The above story bears ont in striking mauuer the remarks recently made in The Times on the gradual gagging and corruption of native Bowspapers.
