Pneumonia Prevented

Among the tens of thousands
who have used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for colds and la
grippe during the past few years
to our knowledge, not a single
case has resulted in pneumonia.
Thos. Whitfield & Co., 24O Wa.

most prominent retail druggists
in that city, in speaking OF this

Death and Birth.

Let me paint you a picture. A
broad and sweeping avenue with
its road-bed strewn with fow-
ers and MOSES, with here and
there q treacherous thorn hidden
among the alluring brightness,
and further on an almost insur-
mountable obstacle Of jagged
rocks aud stones. Overhead the
holly branches Irvine their arms
and hold aloft the bright-hued
berries and great punches of mis-.
tletoe are hanging here and there.
Along the one side are lined in
solid phalanx those who have for
years passed over the stony path,
finding an occasional flowery oa'
sis, who have now paused with
bated breath, forms STOPPING
from their weight Of years, eyes
though dim, yet eagerly piercing
the shadowy distance afar down
the stretching avenue, watching
the stately form with it's flowing
white drapery and long silvery
tresses slowly and reluctantly
passing out to make room for the
coming of the monarch that is to
reign in his stead-The New Year
Lined up on the other side is
youth and childhood with faces
all aglow with happy anticipations;
wondering what the future may
hold in store for them. There is
the impatient stamp of many feet,
as all turn their gaze toward the
other end of the avenue to catch
the first glimpse OF the welcome
New Year. At first there is a
mist-enshrouded form, but ad-
vancing shows a young lord with
a halo of light and all the joyous
freshness of youth, and, bounding
along, scatters bright jewels of
seconds and minutes that he ex-
poets this waiting multitude to
gather up and turn into good
deeds that shall stand to their
credit throughout Eternity.
And so we reluctantly bid the
Old Year goodbye, and yet glad.
ly welcome the coming Of the
New Year. VIRGINIA.

Demand For Half Cents.

The coinage Of the half cent is
being demanded from numerous
quarters. In the early history of
the country this coin did not
seem to be needed. Business
had not reached the degree of
division and specialization that
rendered it useful In all new
countries, where resources have
to be developed, there is a dis
regard for detail aud small things.
AS civilization progresses ana
population increases the trading
and everyday business is done on
finer lines.
Convenient small coins for use
in small transactions conduce to
economy and saving. In Gall
fornla in the pioneer days there
were no coins less than q dime.
All transactions in which change
could not be exactly made, less
than a dime, caused q loss to one
side and a gain to the other. For
a long time Californians affected
to despise nickels, but the advan'
tage of making closer and juster
change gradually recommended
itself and now even the copper
cent is gaining ground in that
State of great resources and large
ideas.
The demand of the half cent
comes from those sections OF the
country where the struggle for
existence is becoming more diff.
ficult and where the subdivisions
of business and competition II

Unihcation of Time.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
A three weeks vacation and travel in
Michigan, Illinois and Ohio peculiarly i'm
pressed me, as it has no doubt also many
other persons, with the necessity of some
process for the uniflcation of time.
The first necessary thing to be done is to
abandon the am. and pm, and to desig-
nate time by the twenty-four hours which
constitute one day; then. accepting prime
meridian-Greenwich, Washington, Paris,
St. Petersburg, Berlin, Rome, Jerusalem,
the Pyramid of Cheops, or any other point
on the earth's surface-this Is really imma-
terial as one location Is just as good as an
other-select some hour of the twenty-four
for meridian time at the prime meridian
For example. say II o'clock (Friday), then
one degree west of the prime meridian the
sun would be on that meridian 1904. O. clock
two degrees west at 12:OS, three degrees at
1912, etc; fifteen degrees west at 10
o'clock, ninety degrees at 1s o'clock $50 de-
srees west at "a o'clock. 27O degrees at
O. clock Saturday., and at prime meridian,
or 800 degrees, at IL o'clock Saturday, the
earth having in this time made one reyolu-
ton on its axis. carrying with 1t the prime
meridian time, which would be the same on
all parts Of its surface.
There would be no necessity for a merid-
ian in crossing which a day has to be add
ed or subtracted from the calendar
Probably no process could be adopted by
which meridians could divide the ecIiptic
the suns apparent path, in equal propor-
lions: consequently calculations womb have
which the sun Is said to be slow or fast. Il
may be that civil. solar. or astronomical
and nautical time may all be unified by
some such process. TITUS
