Unable to Stand For Months Because o'

(From the Cardiff Times.)


Among the thousands of voluntary endorse
ments Of the great value of st. Jacobs Oil for
sprains, stiffness, and soreness, ia that OF Mrs.
q. Thomas, 4 Alexandra Road, Gelli, Ysbrod,
near Pontypridd, South Wales. who says
"It is with great pleasure that add my will

Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us ~ TO
what treatment she pursued during the
months she was unable to stand, and during
which time she was suffering so much, but we
venture to suggest that had she called in any
we'll known medical man he would have at

conquered pain upwards Of fifty years, and
doctors know there Is nothing so good. The
proprietors of ST. Jacobs Oil have been award
Cd twelve gold medals by different interna-
tional exhibitions as the premier pain-killins
remedy OF the world. The committees who
made the awards were in each instance COM
posed largely of the most eminent medical
men obtainable. Mrs. Thomas evidently did
not know the high opinion in which ST. Jacobs
Oil is held by almost every progressive med
lcal man.

Loud Telephones for Ships.

One of the most important instru-
ments on modern vessels is the so.
called loud talking telephone. Ex-
periments have recently been made
with II in the German navy. and have
proved so satisfactory that instru-
ments are now being placed on most
of the large sea-going ships. The spe-
cial value of this telephone lies in the
fact that a captain standing on the
bridge can easily hear any words that
may be spoken to him from the in.
terror of the vessel. even though a
violent storm may be raging at the
time. and can in turn transmit without
straining his voice his own orders to
officers or men in any part of the YES.
sci. Bad accidents have occurred
through a misunderstanding of orders
given at critical moment, due to
the fact that the words were not dis.
tinctly heard. and it is only reasonable
to assume that casualties of this kind
can he avoided in the future through
the use of this loud-talking telephone.

voted on in the election to-day The proposed
amendment does not affect in any manner the
general law which exempts from taxation the
property occupied and owned by church cor
poratiou and used for the purpose of public
worship 1t merely prevents the legislature from
passing a special law granting to any person.
association firm or corporation exemption
from taxation on real and personal property"

valued at millions of dollars in addition to
church property in the State. The declared
purpose of the amendment is to prevent the
passage of special laws for the benefit of persons
or corporations whose property is not exempt

USES NAMES WITHOUT AUTHORITY

According to Hugh Kelly, Tammany Hall has
resorted to the dodge Of using fake sgners' for
the purpose of giving the impression that prom
nent people have espoused their cause when as
matter OF fact, these people know nothing of
their alleged Endorsement until they find their
names in circulation. Evidence of this practice
has to light through Hugh Kelly. who said
yesterday that his name had been printed on a
Tammany advertisement put out after q So-called
mass meeting of Democratic business men at
Carnegie Hall. Mr.. Kelly wrote to John A. Sulli-
van, and asked that his name be stricken off the
list Of vice-presidents Mr. Sullivan wrote back
disclaiming all responsibility.
