That White House sideboard.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The story that has been going the rounds
of the press concerning sidebOard pre-
sented to Mrs. President Hayes by the w.
c. T. u. and its recent sale to Washing
ton saloonkeeper. who refused to sell it to
a son Of the former President. is shown to
be omplete fabrication by the follow
ing:
That sideboard story Is all a myth;
there was no such article presented to Mrs.
Hayes while she was in the White House :"
So spoke President Roosevelt In a recent
interview with Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis,
superintendent legislation Of the National
w. c. T. U. "A sideboard was purchased
during the Hayes administration. also one
during the Arthur admnistra tion, but they
were both paid for with government money
1t IS matter Of law that all articles be-
longing to the White House. and of no fur
Their use there, shall be sent to an auction
room and sold to the highest bidder These
two sideboards were disposed of in this
way. and there was no special significance
attached to either of them"
The high authority for denial Of this
story will, I trust. put an end to the sensa-
tional items floating around.

Can Live Without Drinking Water.

THAT turtles can live without either
drinking or swimming has been very clear
ly demonstrated by the Los Angeles cham
Der of commerce, .said F. H. Hopkins of
Los Angeles to a Star man at the Raleigh
this morning Twelve years ago the first
specimen was secured from the Mojave
desert Since that time five or six others
have been added to the collection. The
turtles are kept in the exhibition room of
the chamber and crawl about the floor at
will. They are fed once in twenty -four
hours, but are never given a drop of water,
the moisture contained In the lettuce and
grapes, on which they are fed exclusively,
being found sufficient for their wants. 1t
has been estimated fby scientists that these
turtles will live twenty-five years without
drinking drop oftwater.

Cause OF Lockjaw.

Lockjsw, or tenanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentifully
in street dirt 1t is inactive so long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be-
meath the skin as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger of lock-
jaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's

received Pain Balm is an antiseptic

Heat can exist only where there Is an
atmosphere, and then it must be con-
stantly supplied with fuel to overcome
the law of constant repulsion and diff
fusion. Cold Is the absence of heat and
exists everywhere. 1t overcomes disin-
tegration and preserves the universe
1t enforces the universal law of the
electric attraction and cohesion of at
oms and worlds.
Cold must predominate to preserve
the universe. There Is a billion times
q billion more cold in the universe than
heat. There always has been and there
always will be. The heat of the sun
compared with the cold that surrounds
1t Is as a mustard seed to Jupiter. The
earth's heat in comparison to the cold
that surrounds 1t is as an orange to the
solar system.
Then what folly to talk of the uni
verse having begun in white heat and
the earth having been molten world
and the suns great burning spheres!-

good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t not only cures colds and
grip effectually and permanently, but pre-

Pneumonia. 1t is also certain cure for
croupe. Whooping cough is not danger
Gus when this remedy is given. 1t con-
tains no opium or other harmful substance
and may be given as confidently to a
baby as to an adult. 1t is also pleasant
to take. When all of these facts are
taken into consideration it is not surpris-

and very few are willing to take any other
after having once used it. For sale by
