Some Remarks Upon a Subject OF the Most
Serious Importance, Especially at This
Season OF the Year.
Many people are anxious to know ii we are
likely to have another epidemic Of the grip.
That there are many persons suffering from
1t now there can be no doubt; that 1t may
increase is a possibility; that steps should he
taken to avoid it, is serious certainty. The
grip" is not considered dangerous by many
people and it may not be- if taken in time but
it leads to other dangerous complications and
diseases, and to prevent 1t should be the
greatest care of all. The slightest cold may
turn to grip and you may be laid up. If You
do not cure it. A tickling in the throat
slight Tightening or pain in the chest, lassi-
tude, chflliness, headache lack of appetite
or bad taste in the mouth may mean that
the grip is preparing to seize you. At such
a time, quick steps should be taken. At once
secure stimulant: Nature is tagging and
requires stimulation, but bear carefully in
mind that there is but one certain stimulant,
and that is whiskey, and but one absolutely
pure medicinal whiskey, and that is Duffy's
Pure Malt. 1t has cured thousands of cases
of grip and prevented It in an infipite num-
Der OF times. 1t has stood the test OF time
and is the most popular preparation to-day.
1t Is endorsed by physicians, scientists and
thousands of men and women, who have
used it continually. Should salesman seek

upon having Duffy's Pure Malt Itisa grea
aid to health and is certain to counteratc
the first appearance of grip.

sHLD'S ASSAiLANT GETS THREE YEARS

Attorney Marion presented a statement
yesterday in Judge Meetings. court in the
habeas corpus proceedings TO secure possess
sion of the S-year-oid child, Murphy Lewis,
in answer to the husbands petition. After
asking that the petitioner produce legal
evidence of the criminal matter alleged in
his petition. the respondent AYERS that the
father is not q proper person to be placed
over the child, and makes num-
Der of sensational charges against him.
She refers to woman in Columbus,
Ohio, and a domestic in Allegheny, and
claims her husband has been gailty of GRIM
iual practices with both.
Attorney Barton denied these allegations
and asked for the custody of the child, but
Judge McClung decided that, in view of the
mothers sickness and the fishers frequent
absence from the citv, that he would hold
over his decision until to-dav. In the
meantime the parties can determine among
themselves VINO can keep the child until the
divorce proceedings have been determined.
Suit will to-day be entered by Mrs. Lewis
TO compel her husband to support her until
after the divorce proceedings are settled.

and his wife wants big chunk of it to
keep herself She has become wonderfully
revengeful since she has given up suicide
and says that under no circumstances
will she forgive her husband or pause at re-
vealing anything she may discover against
his character. Mrs. Sproul, of Cincinnati,
the mother of Mrs. Lewis, wrote to her
dsupkter Yesterday stating that she was
sick and could not come to Pittsburg. She
advised Mrs Lewis to stick to her child.
The latter has taken rooms at the Central
Hotel and will remain in Pittsburg. 1t is
claimed that detectives are still shadowing
her and that Heiner has received $50 and
will get $50 more for the work he has done.
Attorney Marion promises to make it lively
for the detectives and intimates that part
of the defense will be to show that they
concocted stories against Mrs. Lewis in
order to insure continuance of their pay.
The charges against Lewis will be with
reference to his life in Columbus and Allie

No Substitutes

For Royal Baking Powder. The Royal"
is shown by all tests official scientific, and prac-
tical stronger, purer and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manufac-
turers, and we'll known by all dealers.
If some grocers try to sell another baking
powder in place of the "Royal," it is because of
the greater profit This of itselfs good evidence
ofthe superiority of the "Royal" To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost POWDER and
to cost less it must be made with cheaper and
inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the
same, give less value to the consumer.
LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm off
upon you any baking powder in place of the
"Roya." There is no substitute for the Royal"

NO ONES BUSINESS

L
Between two stools one comes t.
the groundn is an old saw that has
recently found illustration in this
city, and that in way by no means
creditable to the energy, public spirit
push or sound business sense of those
corporate bodies organized to look out
for the clty's interest. That letter OF
Black, Lee & Co., offering to establish
jeans factory in this city on certain
conditions, has been banded about
from Board of Trade to CONNER
cial exchange like shuttlecock in the
old game. The letter was sent to the
mayor, his honor kicked it along to
the Board of Trade; the Board OF
Trade applied the boot toe and sent
it over TO the Commercial Exchange;
the Commercial Exchange saw it
coming and sent it flying back to the
Board of Trade, with the intimation
that it was not their funeral. How
long San Antonio is to suffer from
this sort OF thing is 3 question which
several ofthe readers of the LIGHT
have expressed themselves very so
lictously over. The Board Of Trade
was originally organized for the par
pose of doing, among other things,
such work as was referred to them by
the mayors letter, examining into
matters proposed to the citizens as
worthy of public support and report
ing upon the ssme;also, to take action
in aiding by public support all enter
prises by them considered conducive
to the growth and development of the
city. 1t was the complaint of the
Commercial Exchange founders that
this work of the Board of Trade was
not attended to, aud that some organ
ization was needed to pick up this
work, and carry it on. To consider the
availability of industrial enterprises |

Exchange refuses to engage in; the |
Board of Trade washes its hands of

200 hands might be added to the clty's
goes begging.
The question becomes a pertinent
one-can San Antonio do nothing to
