Know that in spite of hard work in the clear forest air the blood often becomes impure. The heavy food served in the
 lumber camps is to a great extent re- sponsible for this condition of the blood, which renders the body an easy prey to many forms of disease.

Other Nations Not Sleepy.

France, Germany and other nations are not sleeping upon their rights as the people of the United States have been," comments MT. Corliss, "but are establishing government telegraphic com munication with their respective posses. sions.
 T therefore contend that the Pacific cable should be owned, controlled and operated by the government of the United States. It should be made by an Ameri- can manufacturer, laid by an American ship under the American flag and opera ted at actual cost for the dissemination of knowledge, the proper direction of our army and navy and the advancement of our trade and commerce in the Pacific"
 General Greedy, chief of the signal serv- ice of the War Department, who has charge of telegraphic lines owned by the government, the report says, estimates the entire cost of Pacific cable, incIud- ing ships and all possible contingencies, at $1OOOO,O 900, and places the annual ex- penditure at $525,0

A complete survey has been made by our navy at the expense of at least a half million of dollars to our people and a route established extending from Cali fornia to Hawaii Guam, Wake or Mid way and the Philippine Islands.
 The vote authorizing favorable report on the bill stood eight for and seven against Two members.

The minority of the committee oppose government ownership and favor the proposals of the Conner cial Pacific Company to lay private cable.

Twelve Year Old Boy Said to be the Leader is
 Under Arrest
MOULOSFOUNO UNDER ROCK
Boys Had Grown Man for Tutor and Attempted to Make Quarters Out of Pewter and Lead-Very
 Crude Workmanship.

The police have discovered a gang of juvenile counterfeiters and Ernest Mat thews. aged 12 years said to be the lead CT, will be tried Wednesday morning at g o'clock before United States Commis- sioner Cornish on a charge of attempting to counterfeit United States money. He was arrested by Deputy Marshal Waugh an and placed under a S200 appearance bond. The boy is a son of E. E. Mat thews, who is said to run meat mar l1et at Twenty-sixth street and Third avenue.
 The moulds which were used in the ef- forts to make money were found buried under rock on the other side of the reservoir, near Thirteenth avenue and Twenty-second street and are at present in the office of Commissioner Cornish to be used as testimony in the case. They were of the crudest sort and 1t would be hard to make a good imitation with them. The mould consists simply of two pieces of wood shaped like a lemon squeezer, each hollowed out so that when placed together there would be a good sized cavity between them. Into this cavity is placed putty or mud and quarter of a dollar is placed in there and the impression taken by squeezing the moulds hard. Then the hot metal, which Is said to have been lead pewter, was poured throgh the opening after the quarter was removed.
 Small Boy Gives Tip.
 The tip on the establishment was first given the police departm ent by Clarence Foster, a small boy who lives at 102 Twen- ty-second street. Thursday night he ran away from home and was caught by Po- liceman Nix, who carried him to police headquarters. He was there given to Policemen Cole and Shirley to carry home. he living on their beat. Before leaving the office the boy told the police men he knew where some boys were making counterfeit money and would show them the place. They carried him home and had long talk with his fa- ther that night, but owing to the late ness of the hour postponed making the investigation until Friday when they went to the house and got the boy. They stprted to the place, but were called into H""se to prevent negro man killing while there struggling with

MARTIAL LAW IS
 FOUND NECESSARY Riots in Trieste, Austria, Worst
 in Many Years
1OOPERSONSARE WOUNDED
Victims Are Buried During a Cold Clustering Snow Storm-Troops Were Hasty in Firing and h.
 furated Strikers Friends.

Trieste, Austria February 16.-As a re- suit of the strikes, martial law has been proclaimed here. Altogether 100 arrests have been made. In some of the trades it is expected work will be resumed to- morrow.
 A cold clustering wind was blowing and it was showing hard at the funeral tonight of the victims of the encounters between the strikers and the troops. EX- traordinary manifestations of mourning were witnessed. A military escort accom- panied the funeral cortege and the cem- etery was guarded by troops. There were no disorders and the troubles are be- lieved to be ended.
 GraVest in Years.
 Vienna, February 16.-The riots at Trieste are the gravest which have hap pened in Austria in many years. The original strike is supposed to be an out come of socialist or anarchist agitation. During Fridays riots twelve persons were killed and twenty-five wounded while on Saturday four persons met death, inelud- ing the police commissioner who was
  reports of the occurrences say that over 100 persons were wounded. There Is lit tie doubt that the troops were overhasty. pr. Von Koerber, the imperial premier explained to the Reichsrath Saturday that the officer commanding the troops was struck by a stone and fell unconscious and that the officer next in rank order ed his men to fire and that the latter were so excited they fired recklessly with tho result that a girl sitting in a second-story window and a postal clerk sitting in his office were both shot dead The Riechs- rath unanimously voted a practical cen sure on the government for permitting the troops to fire on the mob. The muni- cipal council of Trieste has adopted similar resolution and has decided to pro vide for the families of the victims of the encounters at public cost. It is not un- likely that the municipal council of Trieste will be dissolved for defiance of the government. All official accounts de- scribe the riots as "a revolutionary out break"

NOW LOOK OUT!

"Take care of YOURSELF" say our friends.
"I'll try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
inhammations and COMPOSITIONS, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have a cold on the chest, place a Bensons
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. If you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid @ serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (back and chest) and all sim
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.

Not unreasonable to this subject, per

the most notably cold winters. in times

attacked beasts and even men. Many
people in Germany were frozen to death
in 1850. and 1899 was nearly as bad.
in 1903 occurred that famous winter,
called by distinction the cold winter. All
the rivers and lakes were frozen. and
even the sen for several miles from the
shore. The ground was frozen nine feet
deep. Birds and beasts were struck dead
in the fields and men persisted by thous-
ands in their homes. IN the south of
France the wine plantations were almost
destroyed. nor have they yet recovered
that fatal disaster The Adriatic sea
was frozen, and even the Mediterranean
about Genoa; and the citron and orange
groves suffered extremely in the finest
part of Italy.
1I16 the winter was so intense that
people Travelled across the straits from
Copenhagen to the province of Sonia, in
Sweden.
In l726. in Scotland multitudes of cat
