The Fountain Head of Strength

When we recollect that the stomach is the
grand laboratory in which food is transformed
into the secretions which furnish vgor to the
system after entering and enriching the blood;
that it is, in short, the fountain head of
strength, 1t Is essential to keep this important
supplying machine in order, and to restore it TO
activity when it becomes inactive. This Hos

PURE WATER.
Science and Invention Needed
TO Improve the Quality of
Water Used in Cities.

With all the advance in science
and invention, it seems that no
appreciable progress has been
made towards providing cities with
water free from impurities and the
germs Of disease. Scientists will
analyze and condemn the water
which people are obliged to drink
but inventors, needless Of improv-
ing the quality, 60 on increasing
the facilities for quantity and pass
away with the age, under the be-
lief that they have attained their
highest effort. Chemists and in
ventors take notice! A suffering
world, ready to bestow upon you
vast wealth and undying fame, is
praying for relief at your hands.
People who have means may have

of cities are unable to obtain such
luxury, and whether the water

The Water Company say they
cannot furnish any better water
than the source they draw it from,

obliged to drink it, they say that

The Verdict Unanimous.

1t pleases the lawyer and his client
too, to have the verdict Of the jury
unanimous. A great jury composed
of the American public has rendered
an unanimous verdict on DR.. Hale's
Household Cough Cure as medicine,
agreeing that it's promise of a speedy
cure for coughs, colds and bronchial
troubles are always carried out to the
letter. This pleasant verdict has not
been obtained without great pains
taken to make it the best cough cure
on the market. Try bottle when
you have cough or cold and you
will belong to the Unanimous" ever
after. For sale by P. II. CARPENTER,

Third-The allegation Of the
answer that the plaintiff volunta-
rally swung himself off the train
was but denial Of the averment
of the petition that he was kicked
off, and did not require reply.
The case will again be tried in
the Circuit Court and doubtless be
docketed 70. the next term in jan
uary. James Andrew Scott and
Rufus S. Dinkle were the at

SMITH VS.. l.. & n.
The Law Defined for Brakemen
in Ejecting Tresspassers
From Moving Trains.

More than year ago Alexander
Smith, a boy working near Col
Inns Station, got on Louisville &
Nashville train to come to the city
and was put off by the brakeman
while the train was in motion for
refusing to pay his fare, the rail
road company alleging that he
swung off and fell, and the boy
stating that the brakeman kicked
him off. On the trial Of the case
for damages, the railroad company
secured a verdict in its favor, and
last week the Court of Appeals,
in an opinion by Judge Hazelrigg,
reversed the judgment of the
lower court. A syllabus of the
opinion defining the law in Ken
lucky, fixing the liability of rail
roads for the acts Of their brake
men in ejecting trespassers from a
moving train. is as follows:
First-A brakeman on a rail
road train as we'll as a conductor,
is conclusively presumed to have
authority to eject trespassers or
intruders, and if he uses un-
necessary violence in doing SO the
company is responsible for the in.
jury resulting, unless the act Of
the servant was malicious.
In this action against a railroad
company to recover tor injuries
alleged to have been suffered by
plaintiff from being kicked by a
brakeman from moving train up
on his refusal to pay his fare, the
court erred in submitting to the
jury the question whether cit was
a part Of the duty of the blake
man, under his employment as
brakeman, to eject or put off the
train persons who failed or refused
to pay their fare," that being
question of law for the court.
Second-The fact that the act
of election is charged in the pc
tition to have been done willfully
does not show the act to have
been malicious on the servants
part, and therefore beyond the
scope Of his authority, as the ser
want is not charged with commit
ting the act willfully, but the COM

Its Potent InhucHcs in Spreading the
Gospel OF Christ.

Its Potent InhacEcs in Spreading the
Gospel o: Christ.
The eloquence of the eloauent pastor Of the
Marble Collegiate Church. New York city, was
the featu:e OF the annual meeting Of the Ameri-
can Tract Society last evening at the Luther
Memorial Church. Rev. David James Bur rell
has delivered on special occasions addresses in
this city which have confirmed the reputation
which has gone beyond the bounds of his own
parish. Appropriately enough his theme last
evening tine power and the influence of the
printed page. He did not fail to emphasize the
power for evil which was exerted by a certain
class OF publications. He spoke of the debasing
character Of much Of the matter printed in the
Sunday newspaper press and of the low class of
literature that is fouad on the news stands and
of the pamphlets devoted to attacks on the
Bible. The spread OF good literature, the
speaker said was row one OF the most potent
influences for good. and he said that the incom-
ing tide OF immigration ought to be met with
this influence.
A report of the work of the society was made
by the secretary, Rev. William A. Rice. The
receipts for the past year from all sources in
round numbers were 1916, 900. There have
been employed 1856 coporteurs, laboring in
thirty-six states and terri:orites. who have
made $4,000 family visits, in over 100000 OF
which they conducted religious exercises.
They circulated 1911 1852 volumes. They found
about $4,000 families without any religious
books except the Bible. and nearly 1000 Pro-
testant families without the the Bible They
found over $4,000 professedly Protestant fami-
lies who never attend church. They addressed
5.4l9 public religious meetings. The grants
for the year amounted to about $4,000
Mr.. Justice Strong presided over the meeting
and the pastor OF the church, Rev. DIR. Butler,
made an address commencing the objects OF
the society.

Gus Phillips Dead.

Gus Phillips. the oid-time German dialect
comedian, who was known in the profession
as "Oofty Goofty, died last week in New York.
He was 50 years Of age. Twenty years ago
Phillips was known in theatrical circles through
out the country and commanded big salary,
which he spent as soon received. Before
going on the stage Philips was a newspaper
man, and recently he had returned to the bust
ness, doing odd jobs for the different papers in
New York city.
His death was caused by consumption, from
which he had been suffering for two years.
About four years ago Oofty Goofty's obituary
was published, and he was wont to boast that
he had seen seventeen actors put under the
sod since his own death was publicly
announced. Phillips was married, but was
living apart from his wife at the time Of his
death

veloped here" When the transfer at the bureau
was made there we're 300 yards Of carpet at the
department Fifty Yards Of this were sold, but
no trace of the remainder could be found. The
disappearance Of the carpet occasioned consid-
cradle talk in the department. and it was the
belief among many that Brannon had sold
it. He stated with emphasis his conviction
that neither Prof. Harrington. the chief clerk,
Mr.. Smith. or the disbursing officer, Capt.
Stone. knew anything about these peculations
until the investigation was started. In reply
to a question. suggested by Detective Weldon,
the witness explained that when Chief Har-
rington had requested King not to say any
thing about the loss Of the molds and kettle.
that the detectives Investigation had been in
stituted and they had requested that he keep
the matter as quiet as possible.
MIR. HoPFENMAIER AGAIN A WITNESS.
Mr.. HopfenmaIer again took the stand to ex-
plain the inconsistency between his statement
regarding the number Of teams he employed
and the testimony Of his driver johnson, who
said Hopfenmaier had but one driver. Hop
fenmaier said that he had several horses and
wagons which he used single and double and
for various purposes, but johnson was his only
driver.
John Balster, a Waterman at the department,
testified that he bad complained to Capt.
Brannon of the removal Of boxes and other
things from the bureau before Office hours.
Brannon replied that he was the superior officer
aud was not to be dictated to. One morning
RYAN mad two barrels removed from the shed
in a rickety wagon. 1t was neither Knox nor
Springman express wagon, the companies that
do all the work for the bureau. He asked
Ryan what he was taking away and the latter
explained that it was something which he had
not had time to attend to the day before.
The investigation then adjourned until
today at 4 pm, when Mr.. Perry will cross
examine number of witnesses.
Kow Mr.. HoPFENMAIEB GOT IN IT.
Mr. Lewis Hopfenmaier. talking with a Stan
reporter about the investigation, said that the
facts, when known, would contradict the tes-
timony which had brought him into undesir-
able prominence in connection with the investi-
CATION. He had, he said, consented at inspector
Hollinbergers request to assist in bringing to
justice guilty persons in the weather bureau,
and If his suggestions had been followed hum
dreds of dollars of government property might
have been recovered. Interested persons. how
ever, succeeded in delaying the search for
missing property, and then in order to get the
police department out of difficulty an attempt
had been made to throw tho blame on him.
His dealings with Capt. Brannon, he said,
amounted in all to only S70.6s. He declared it
his intention to draw the attention Of the grand
jury to some Of the testimony concerning him.
