Hsw to Prevent Pneumonia,

AT this time of the year cold is very
easily contracted. and If left to run its course
without the aid of some reliable cough med
icine is linbe to result in that dread disease,
pneumonia. We know of no better remedy
to cure cough or cold than Chambcrlaln's
Cough Remedy. We haye used it quite ex-
tcnsively and it has always given entire sat
isfaction.-Oolagh Ind. Ter. Chief
This is the only remedy that is known to
be certain preventive of pneumonia. Among
the many thousands who have used it for
colds and lagrippe we have never yet learned
of single case having resulted in pneuno-
MIA. Persons who have weak lungs or have
reason to fear al attack of pneumonia, should
keep the remedy at hand. The IS and 30

Broken-down solicitors also insist on
their professional rights in queer circum-
stances. Only few months back several
men, on meeting together in public
house, bemoaned the fact that they could
not raise" the fee of ''mouthpiece" to
defend a common friend. How much
have you got?" asked one of the frequent
ers of the establishment. Pockets were
turned out with the result that four shil-
lings was pooled. 'It isn't much, is it?''
said the man. But never mind. Give 1t

On the following day this willy individual
hunted up q solicitor who had formerly
had a very good practice, but who was
then not respectable enough for any pro-

to-day he said to the poor wretch. you
might as well appear for him. l can't
give you anything for the job, but'-with
a burst of noble generosity-"come and
have a drink" For that glass of beer the
solicitor actually Defended the prisoner
referred to! The go-between, of course,
pocketed the four shillings.
On another occasion the landlord of a
"doss' house was defended-and cleverly
defended, too-by one of his own dodgers
Nobody in the establishment referred to
knew that this individual had ever been
in any way connected with the law till
he proffered his services. Lend me some

but l must have a fairy decent coat of

mans host was rather incredulous as to
whether the 'dosser" was entitled to APP

however, and as these were satisfactory.
he borrowed some clothes for the solicitor,
who duly acted as his advocate.

Some colors are given artifcially to con-
ceal knowledge of the ingredients, while
the form is largely a matter of theoretical
considerations as to burning. Some of
the powders are in appearance like maca-
rom, while in some the charges look very
much like bundles of cordwood. Few, if
any have much resemblance to the ordi-
nary black powder.
Aside from the absence of smoke the
new powders give a much higher velocity
to the projectile with a less weight OF
charge. This latter will have an import
ant bearing on field operations, where the
transportation of the enormous amounts
of ammunition required is fast becoming
one of the most serious problems in mill
tary circles.
The necessity for smokeless powder re-
suited from the introduction of rapid-hre
guns on shipboard and of the magazine
rifle for the Infantry. The great volume
of smoke formed from the rapid dis
charge of these new weapons proved a
most serious drawback to their adoption
However, their advantages were so OBJ
vious that the search for a practical
smokeless powder became the order of the
day.
The new powder give only slight haze,
which is quickly dissipated and is scarce
ly visible at 100 yards Thus in a naval ac-
ton the enemy will always be visible, and
in the field the concealment of the move
ments of troops becomes more difficult
than ever. Whether the adoption of
smokeless powder will favor the offense
or the defense is question which has
been much debated, but is till in doubt.
Smokeless powder has certainly come to
stay, but like many other new inventions
and improvements, its value in warfare
can only be satisfactorily determined by
a well-contested struggle.

PROFESSIONAL MEN IN THE sLUMs.
Strange Cases of Wrecked Lives

Among 'OOSSeresN
From Casselrs Saturday Journal.
There is no more saddening feature in the
homes and haunts of the "dosser' than the
vast number of wrecks Of professional
men to be met with at every turn. Some
of these men are not beyond hope, but
others might have been born in ditch
and never strayed beyond the borders of
beggardom, so wretched, depraved and ir-
reclalrnable are they 1t is only rarely,
indeed, that anything In the conduct of
such members of the wholly submerged
class indicates a happy past. They seem
as units in the crowd, and nothing more.
1t is strange how long and in what man.
ner men of this kind claim or exercise the
privileges of their professions. Not long
ago a man died in a "doss" house. A
number of the other lodgers-determlne
that their comrade in misfortune should
not be buried by the parish-scoured the
neighborhood In search of wood, and hav-
ing obtained sufficient for their needs and
borrowed the necessary tools, set to work
and made coffin, in which they laid the
body with loving care. A grave was then
secured in the free portion OF a certain
cemetery, and subsequently the remains
of the deceased were taken thither on a
handcart. on the way one Of the fun
erai party entered a rectory. When the
graveside was reached this individual
put on a clergyman's surplce, after which.
pulling prayerbook from his pocket, he
began to read the burial service Stag
gered at what he regarded as disgrace
fui burlesque, the registrar interfered with
stern dignity. Gomez can't allow
thisl' he exclaimed. II don't think you
have any power TO stop me-" said the
'dosser' quietly. II am a minister OF the

tnued reading, and thus had the melan-

his departed friend. The man spoke truly
