of his intention of enlisting in the
regular army in order TO be assured OF

ROBBED AND BEATEN.
What Happened to Thomas Ingram
Yesterday.

A man who gave his name as Thomas
Ingram presented himself at the Re-
ceiving Hospital yesterday for repairs.
He was badly bruised from kicks and
blows which he said he had received at
the feet and fists of two men over near
the north levee. Instead of standing
him up" and robbing him, they knocked
him down and robbed him, and then
tried to kick in his ribs. They took
what money he had, amounting to a
couple of dollars.
Officers Fisher and Bailey took up
the matter and arrested John McCue
and William McHugh for the crime. At
least, these are the names given by
them, but they are doubtless fictitious
ones.
In the meantime Ingram left the
Receiving Hospital, and unless the
police can find him the prisoners will
have to be discharged.

A WORD OF WARNING. :
Regarding The Water You Use just At
This Time Of The Year,

In these days there is such universal
interest in the water we drink that any
thing bearing upon the subject is eagerly
read by the public. TT is evident" says
a New York Medical Journal, that the
necessity of using absolutely pure drink
ing water cannot become too strongly i'm
pressed on the public mind but water In
that condition is provided by very few
communities Where such water cannot
be obtained, the ordinary drinking water,
If the least suspicion attaches to it, should
be boiled before using Precautions
should be taken at all times of the year.
There are few ordinary drinking waters
that do not contain traces of impure mat
ter and poisonous germs, invisible to the
naked eye. If these enter the system at
favorable time. disease will ensue. Boil
ing and freezing, it has been shown, often
fail to destroy these dangerous foes TO
health. 1t is known, however, that the ad-
dition of little pure spirit to contaminated
water will render it perfectly harmless 1t
is recommended that pure whiskey be used
for this purpose. The one absolutely pure
medicinal whisky known to. the world is
Duffy's Pure Malt. Scientists admit this,
doctors confirm it, and the public has
proven 1t. There is no difficulty in coun-
teracting the poisons in drinking water if
this pure whiSkey is used. Care should
be observed, however, to secure Duffy's, as
1t is a pure medicinal whiskey, and will
accomplish what you desire.

FALLING
HAIR
RESTORED

Soon after I was taken i'll my hair COM
menced to fall, so that each day more came
out than thought had in my head. I was
turning gray rapidly. Finally became afraid
to have it combed, but the nurse said that
wouldn't do, and used vaseline to keep it
in, then used beef's marrow, then quinine
tonic, and finally (CUTICURA ointment), which
helped it Immediately. The nurse said she
rubbed up a fine white dust from the scalp
where she could see nothing before COM
H0encing, and the scalp looked healthier and
more natural every day. Now 1 haven't as
many gray hairs as when commenced using
CUTICURA, and / have a crop of fine brown
hair all over my head about an inch and
half in length. only lose a few hairs when
combing every day, and always more gray
than brown. My nurse is delighted because
the new hairs are brown. l never had very
luxuriant hair, even in my youth. 1t is as
thick on my head today as it ever was, and
CUTTCURA did it. Mrs. J. NJ. LAWSON,
