TERRIBLY INCREASING.

AT no time in the history of New York city have
there been SO many deaths from pneumonia as
now. The otfcial figures show that nearly twice
as many deaths from this cause are occurring than
Tor The last nye years This Is something terrible.
Dr. John l.. Maggie, registrar of vital statistics,
says that this increase Is due to the influence Of
grip He says that grip may be called epidemic
just now and that in the majority Of cases grip is
avita, contributing cause TO pneumonia and all
dangerous pulmonary troubles. At this time Of
the year when We are changing over from winter
to spring there is always a low order of vitality;
reaction from the strains Of the season. The
blood does not fow SO full rapidly; the strength
Is less For this reason grip has q much better
chance than at any other season.
This is time of year wnen people need to be
careful and too much Importance cannot be placed
upon keeping the blood warm and in circulation
lou must BRING about a reaction II you visa 10
avoid the pain and dangers of these troubles in
time. Ihere Is but one way by which a reaction
can be brought about and that ID by the use Of a
pure stimulant, preferably whiskey. But the great
dlmculty Is that there are few whiskeys which are
pure The only really pure and reliable whiskey
known TO the medical profession or the world il
Dunys Pure Malt II possesses Qualities know
only 10 itself. Ii will bring about = reaction and
prevent cold pneumonia or the grip where many
o called stlmulants would fail. II has saved more
lives and relieved more suffering than ANYTHING Of
similar nature which was ever known before to
the world.

Two Young Men Leave Atlanta, Ca, fl
Chicago Today.

Two Young Men Leave Atlanta, Ca, for
Chicago Today.
The two well-known young newspaper men,
Messrs. Walter Howard and Ed Durant, will
leave Atlanta, Ga, on bicycle race to Chicago
this afternoon. Howard starts at 8 o'clock,
Just two hours later, at o'clock, Durant will
make the start from the same place and from
the word go he will be in the bicycling match
Neither Of the men is overconfident, but both
are determined to win. and to add to the inter
est neither knows the route that will be taken
by the other. In this way it will be a race
which requires both endurance and general
ship.
While the two participants started out to
make the race to Chicago merely for the pur-
pose of settling which was the better man Of
the two, their friends have taken the matter in
hand and have raised purse of $3.50, one-third
of which will 60 to the loser.
The papers Of agreement have been signed
up and there Is no such thing as a failure to
start. The two bicyclists will send daily bull
letins to the Atlanta papers, and the incidents
along the route will be fully gwen
IL appreciate the fact said Mr. Howard,
THAT the trip will be long and difficult one
and it is something of a stupendous one. but

THAT depends largely upon the weather We
encounter. II the weather is fair and the roads
are in good condition the trip should be made
IN from ten to fourteen days or course it will
be contest in which endurance and grit will
play large part"
Yes" said Mr.. Durant, ST am confident of
winning and expect to come into Chicago day
ahead of Mr.. Howard. know that there are a
lot OF chances against me; my wheel may break
down, or might be taken sick, but all this is
conjecture, and Mr.. Howard is as likely to be
the victim as l.
Il haven't fully decided on q number of
minor details. but l will have everything
arranged by Tuesday afternoon at o'clock,
and will start without fail. am in fairly
good condition. and l don't feel the least bit
nervous as to the outcome. believe that the
trip will occupy about twelve days.'

that one family can make a living

while neighbor with larger farm,
more help and better opportunities,
sells none of these There is no rea-
