rendencY OF the Timas.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one OF
the most dangerous diseases that medi-
cai men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or from an attack of
influenza (grip), and it has been observed
that this remedy counteraots any ton
dency of these diseases toward pneumo-
mia. This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this remedy
has been used during the great preva-
lence of colds and grip in recent years,
and can be relied upon with implicit con-
fidencc. Pneumonia often results from
a slight cold when no danger is appre-
hended until it is suddenly discovered
that there is fever and difficulty in
breathing and pains in the chest, then it
is announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the cold is contracted. 1t always cures.

lands of the Society group; Ain the south

by huge tidal wave that swept across
the island-dotted sea.

days, being most severe from January IL

companied by terrific hurricane, az
tackled the Society islands and the Pu6
motu group with fearful force, carrying
death and devastation for miles before itt
towering front.
AS the news received at Tahiti up tc
the time of the sailing of the Mariposs
was meagre, it is thought that full re.
turns may swell the death list. 1t is pos
sible that hundreds of bodies were
washed out to sea so that they may
never be accounted for.

BY ORDER OF RocKEFELLER.

1t began last week TO seem probable
that some antitrust legislation would
pass Congress. A very mild bill for the
regulation of trusts, sanctioned by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Attorney Genera
Knox, had passed the House, and was
pending in the Senate. The principal
feature of the bill is that requiring pub.
lioity as TO the conduct of its affairs by
a trust. This touches tender spot, and
Mr.. John d. Rockefeller, president OF
the Standard Oil Company, took it upon
himself to tell the United States Senate
that he was opposed to any antitrust
legislation and it must stop! In field
parlance he would say: "Hold on boys,
4 while skin"
"a The announcement created quite SEN
sation in Washington and the Senate
the accounts given by the press dis
patches it is said:
No less than six United States Sena-
tors have received kilograms signed
"John ID. Rockefeller" urging that no
not been possible to obtain q copy of
these dispatches, which, it can be said,
are practically Identical. Substantially
they read as follows:
'We are opposed to any ANTITRUST leg
islation. Our counsel, Mr.. -----, will
see you. 1t must be stopped.R
One of the recipients, of the telegram,
signed by John d. Rockefeller, said:
"No such formidable weapon ever has
been put in the hands of one man by
another in legislative contest as was
put in my hands by the sender of that
telegram. If necessary, will rise in my
place in the Senate and read it. Then
we will see whether any votes are to be
recorded against the Legislation at which
these efforts are being directed"
TO the credit of President Roosevelt
and his administration be it said that
these strenuous" efforts in opposition
have only made them the more deter
mined upon the enactment of anti trust
legislation at the present session. 1t is
announced that unless the pending bill
is passed the President will call an extra
session Immediately after MARCH, 4th.
1t is hard to believe any sensible man,
entirely unsolicited. would send dis
patch of the import above given, and the
whole thing may be pre-arranged grand
stand play by the trust magnates and
Republican bosses to fool the people a
while longer. At this distance it looks
more like that than anything we have
seen in long time. After all, there is
nothing in the bill to afford much relief
to the people from the grip of the trusts.
The oily, greasy magnates, many OF
whom, like the reputed sender of the
above dispatch, cannot cat grease, will
still continue to fry the fat out of the
American people as in the days of yore.
"Whats in a namep A rose by any
other name would smell as sweet"
About the only difference between the
existing and proposed law for the regu-
lation of trusts is the difference between
"twedlcdum and twedledee." No
Mr.. Rockefeller, do not get frightened
While your stomach will not stand
grease, your tanks will, and the supply
will in no wise be diminished. There is
yet no leak to stop, and none likely tc
be sprung. Avaunt!

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lied world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else For indigestion or biliousness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of appendicitis, nervous prostra-
tion or heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation of undigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic action
of the system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower, in
liquid form, to make you satisfied there
is nothing serious the matter with you.
