Many Of Our Boys and Girls

From The After Effects
Of Winter Grippe.

Compound
For Their Loved Ones.
For Their Loved Ones.
The Wondrous Medicine Quickly ESpels
All Germ Poisons From the Blood
and Forlfles the Weak and
Run Down System.

A busy city physician, enjoying
large annual income, remarked the
other day that hos. Of young people
boys and girls ls-were suffering this
months from the after effects of win
ter grippe.
Dear parents, have any of your chill
dren suffered from an attack of the
cruel monster grippe, during the past
winter months? Are your boys and
girls irritable, feverlsh, pale, or weak?
Have they cold and clammy limbs!
Is the blood watery, impure. or slug
gish? Is the appetite poor and diges-
ton weak? Has the rose tint of
health faded from the cheeks? 1t any
of those conditions are noted, be as
sured the dregs of deadly grippe are
implanted in the system.
If your children are not blthesome,
happy, boisterous and strong in May,
their condition calls tor prompt action
on your part. Their future-health
and physical happiness or sufferings
and early DEATHS in your hands,
uNdI pdltHts. .fou arc iNopJn-
sible to Heaven and the community
of which you form part.
When winter grippe has implanted
seeds of virulent diseases, the first and
most important work is to expel from
the blood every trace of poison. This
is always successfully accomplished
by the use of Paine's Celery Com
pound.
This marvellous medicine after pur-
flying the foul and stagnant blood, acts
as a nerve food. 1t builds up the ner-
vous system and nourishes all the
bodily tissues.
Boys and girls with such start
in life as they always receive from
Paine's Celery Compound, grow up
as sturdy as forest oaks: they revel
in strength and true life; they are fair
to behold; they make the men and
women most needed by our country
Do your part this month, dear pa.
rents, with promptness and honesty
and rest assured Paine's Celery Com
pound will not fail in its grand work
of health building.

THE PLAYHOUsEs.
Sousa atthe Coloniaf-The James
Boys Coming.

John Philip Sousa has been pursued
by persistent fable coined some FIVE
years ago by an inventive genius who
saw an opportunity to juggle with the
"March Kings" name. This individ-
ual, in uttering his ingenious story,
declared the American musician to be
of Italian birth and rejoicing in the
name of so, to which, in a spasm of
patriotic favor he was supposed to
have added the initials u. S. A. in or
der to make the familiar name of Sousa.
This story has been printed all over the
world. and in many instances has been
accepted as gospel truth. But the fact
remains that the March King" was
born in Washington, ID. c., forty-ive
years ago, although his ancestry is
Portuguese. At the royal concert at
Sandringham, England, in December,
the ambassador of Portugal at the
Court of st. James told him that the
name Sousa is one of the most famous
in that country. Sousa will bring his
band here on Friday evening next for
single concert at the Colonial. The
sale of seats opens tomorrow morning.

Life Stories In Faces.

Character indeed is written plainly enough on the faces one meets in daily life. Some speak of tragedy, some of comedy, and not few give you dis tinct warning.
 Even a ride in a street car or a short railway Journey gives proof of this fact. Look around you. Those two strangers opposite you never saw be- fore, yet you know that one Is passion ate, the other mean, and your heart warns to the little old lady near by. You want no one to assure you she Is kind and gentle, while a whole net work of of-wrinkles about the eyes tells you that the old gentleman in the cor ner loves his joke.
 Strange how quick we are to read our neighbor's face and how slow to re- alize that our own Is open for him to read! Yet 1t Is. The story Is there, and we are writing 1t every day of our lives. Not only do smiles and frowns leave traces, but every passion which sways the heart stamps its record upon the face. .--.

MERGER FIGHT IS ON.
Hill of Complaint Filed In the Unite,
 States Supreme Court.

States Supreme Court.
 Washington, Jan. S.-Attorney Gen. eral Wallace B. Douglas of Minnesota has filed in the United States supreme court the bill of complaint in the case of the state of Minnesota, complain. ant, against the Northern Securities company, defendants. It is long doc. ument, about 10000 words, covering thirty-two pages of printed matter. The bill first points out the direct in terest the state has in the proposed consolidation. It still owns more than 100000 acres of public land, valued at more than $15, 5,00O,0OO and traversed in part by the lines of the Great North ern and Northern Pacific railroads. If the merger is effected, these roads will cease to build spurs into these lands or compete for their business. The value of the lands will not increase as it has under the spur of competition, and the state will lose in the taxable value of its property. The lands will not be opened for years, and develop ment will be arrested.
 1t Is next set up that the state ex- bends more than $700000 annually in the operation and maintenance of its educational. charitable and other pub lie institutions; that this is mostly raised by direct taxation; that the amount which can be raised and the successful maintenance of these insti- tutions for the benefit of its citizens depend largely upon the value of the real and personal property within the state, which in turn depends largely upon free railroad competition. It has been the settled policy of the state to encourage railroad building by grant of lands, and in this way over 10,500,- GOO acres have been granted, nearly all of it to the Great Northern and North ern Pacific and their subsidiaries.
 The complainant alleges that the rates on the immediate shipments of wheat and other merchandise over the lines of the two companies have been lower than they will be under any ar engagement which contemplates unity of control. The bill then recites the charters and interpretations under which the Great Northern operates over 500 miles of road and cites the clause in its charter providing that its affairs are to be conducted by board of directors, which is to do all things necessary land not inconsistent with the constitution and laws of the Unit ed States or the laws of this territory or this act''

The Ohio Political Contest.

The Republican caucus at Columbus, O., Saturday night nominated the For aker ticket for the senate and the Han na ticket for the house. The contest Is being continued on the same lines over the makeup of the standing com mittees, and it is evident that the chair manships and preferred places will go the same way as the offices. Next Tues day the house will vote separately for United States senator, and the next day in joint session they will declare the result. AS Foraker was indorsed by resolution at the last state conven- tion for reelection the Republican joint senatorial caucus next week will be merely a formal affair.
