All diseases come from germs. The germs
get into the blood, prof agate and increase
in the blood, which carries them all over the
body. When they find weak spot, they
stick to the weak spot. 1t becomes dis.

name corresponding to its location in the
body. The cause is TIL same for nearly all
diseases. All impuritie> e germs, or breed
germs. Impure blood means germ filled
blood. Kill the germs. eliminate the i'm
purities, enrich the blood, and it will force
itself into the diseased spot and strengthen
it, and give it power to throw off the germs

is the theory. The facts are these-tens of

A Narrowing Holocaust in a Texas
Orphan Home.
DALLAS, Texas, Jan. 16.-Fifteen
little girls and boys are dead as re-
suit of last nights fire at the Buckner
Orphan Home and nine others are
seriously burned and crushed. Three
Of the injured, it is thought, cannot
recover. The fullness OF the holocaust
was not discovered and fully realized
until today. The fire, which COM
menced about 10 o'clock Friday night
and ragged until the boys dormitory
was destroyed. did not cool enough for
search for bodies in the ashes until
early this morning. At that time it
was thought that only five children
had been burned to death. When the
ashes had cooled enough to admit of
search, scores of sympathizing friends
and neighbors began the sad task Of
finding the bodies Of the five whom it
was known had persisted. The search
had hardly been instituted when the
terrible truth that there we're more
than five bodies in the ashes appeared.
The search continued until dawn,
when fifteen bodies had been found.

Steel Roadways.

Martin Dodge, the Ohio State road
com missioner, is an enthusiast on the
subject of steel road ways. He esti-
mates that a double-track road, the
tracks laid sixteen feet apart and
the space between between the rails
of each track filed in broken stones,
macadam size, would cost much less
than good macadam road and the
cost of country one-track road about
half as much as the double track He
longer than stone road. and that
one horse will draw on steel track
twenty times as much as on a dirt
road and five times as much as on
macadam.

A CASE WITHOUT PARALLEL.
A Woman Killed while Preparing
to Suicide.

The Hickory Times says that ne
gro woman was killed in that county
few days ago. For some reason the
woman was tired of life and determ-
ined to commit suicide. She went to
a we'll and putting some boards across
it tied rope around the cross beam
and around her neck for the purpose
of hanging herself. While making
these arrangements the boards slipped
from over the well and the woman fell
into it. The rope broke and she was
precipitated to the bottom of the
well. When taken out the woman
was unconscious and died in short
while. A piece of the rope was around
her neck and is supposed to have as
sisted in her death.

ocrats and Republicans at Raleigh.
MI Jones is well known here, having
conducted a meat stall in the market
last year.
Mr.. Jones' history as member is
queer one. He and another man ran
as independent candidates. Jones
ran as straight Democrat, but was
elected by Republican votes. He has
attended only one Democratic caucus
He was invited to il. He never voted
for Speaker OF the house. He said to
a Democratic member that he was
unpledged as to Senator. He also
said he had no earthly use for Popu-
list, and would never vote for Cy
Thompson. Democrats said he would
either vote for PriLchard or else not
vote at all.
