rs INFLUENZA AND C0NsUMpT1oy.
1t is indeed a melancholy truth that
thousands fall victims to Consumption
every year, from no other cause than
neg elected colds yet we find hundreds,
nay thousands, who treat such complaints
with the greatest Indifference, and let
them run on for weeks and even months,
without thinking ofthe danger. At first
you have what you consider a slight
cough or cold; you allow business, pleas
ure, or carelessness to prevent you from
giving 1t any attention, it then settles
upon your breast-you become hoarse,
have pains in the side or chest, expecto
rate large quantities Of matter, perhaps
mixed with blood :; difficulty of breath,
ing cnsues, and then'you find your own
foolish neglect has brought on thus cons
plant. If, then, you;vaIue life or health
be warned in time, and don't trife with
your cold, or trust to any quack nostrum
to cure you; but Immediately procure a"
bottle or two of that famous remedy, DR.
Wistar's Balsam Of Wild Cherry, which
is well known to be the most speedy cure
ever known, as thousands will testify
whose lives have been saved by it,
For Influenza it is he very best medi.

HoRRID MURDER. The following is
narrative of one of the most shocking
murders that ever occurred in Kentucky:
RUssELLvILLE, Ky, Feb. H. 1916.

Gentlemen: A most distressing murder
has just been committed in our town. A
young man named John George, of res
pectabIe connexions, attempted to seduce n
Miss Jackson, of this town; failing in his
attempts to seduce her, and fearing that it
would be made public, he stole by the win
dow of the young lady's room, raised it.,
and shot her, after Walking her and maxi
ing himself known He fed.
The report alarmed the family who ran
to her room and found her dying. She
lived only two hours, but long enough to
disclose every thing. 1t is probable that
the young man has gone to Louisville, as
he had his clothes all packed and convey

A CHARM AGAINST FITS. The latest
superstition of which we huve heard in
aid of curing diseases. is something of a
novel character and emanates from the
English peasantry. A respectable wo-
man of the village Of Coleford, England
entered shop ia the place, and gravely
requested the young man to give her a
penny. On being asked for what purpose
she required it, she replied, that she was
endeavoriug to collect thirty pence from as
many young unmarried men. The thirty
pence SO collected were 10 be exchanged

VENTILATION,

We are glad 10 SEE that this subject is
attracting more and more attention. Moth
ing Of equal importance 10 health has been
so much neglected. II is becoming more
and more a maller OF discussion. We
have before US long article in the Boston
DliIy Advertiser,in which it is stated that
each person requires the removal of six
thousand four hundred cubic inches, or
nearly four cubic feet of air, each minute.
A II modes OF ventilation have reference
either TO n rafilird column of air, or for,
cling of fresh air iuto buildings by mcchan>
icaI means.
A application Of heat is an example Of
the first mode. The second mode was first
tried 10 the British House of Commons,
ia 1886, bus without great success, owing
10 defective construction OF the fan en-
pIoyed for the purpose. Great improve
meats have been contrived in this appara-
tus of ln,e years, by Mr.. Oldham, engi-
neer to the Bank Of England. The fan

IMPROVEMENT IN GENERATING STEAM
A French engineer has discovered an
exceedingly simple means OF curtaIing
the quantity of coal hitherto required in
the generation of steam. His principle,
for which he has taken patent, is that
of putting whale or other fish oil into the
boiler, unmixcd, or with more or less
water. When the oil is at a temperature
producing steam, water is thrown in and
steam is produced as fast as required by
the machine, without tho oil passing of
in vapor, or decomposing. The saving
in fuel is stated at from 40 TO SO per ct.
