In Memory Of Pope Leo XIII.

The mayor of Carpineto, Pope Leo's
birthplace, who proposed to erect with
local contributions monument to
Leo XIII. on top of the Lepini Noun
tains, finding that his project involves
more money than he can raise in the
village, will ask all countries to con-
tribute. He expects liberal sums
from America. 1t is reported that
Count Soderini, whose position at the
Vatican is that of bearer of the Cold
EN- Rose-the Golden Rose" is the
greatest gift which a pope can confer
upon women of royal families-was in
trusted by Leo with the task of writ
ing the history Of his pontificate-a
true history, not an eulogy. Count
Soderini was supplied with abundant
documents for the work. Leo NILS
executors reported to the meeting Of
cardinals that after taking out the be-
quests for charity the money available
for paying the three doctors who at
tended him at different periods dur
ing his last illness of II days will be
only about $4,000. The cardinals
thought that sum not enough, and d.
rected a committee to add what they
thought a suitable figure.

came an atmospheric condition lasting
only a few minutes but fatal to live
stock and greatly distressing to hu-

every kitten in the vicinity of Oacoma
died, apparently from the effects Of
some gaseous matter in the air. A
herd consisting of IS cattle was seen
coming down from the flats, when six

abandon their work. They were en-
gagged for a long time in making ex-

eased parts while the x-rays were d.
rected on the patients. When they
began to suffer they tried gloves in
the back of which lead foil was sewn
but these impeded the movement Of
the hands and were discarded. One
of the sufferers ceased operating under
the rays IS months ago, and yet his
hands have improved little despite
constant treatment

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures The best
thought Of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. It has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one Of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend with
can be prevented by the use Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia
always results from cold or from an
attack of influenza (grip), and 1t has
been observed that this remedy coun-
teracts any tendency OF these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been full
ly proven in many thousands of cases
in which this remedy has been used
during the great prevalence of colds
and grip in recent years. and can be
relied upon with implicit confidence
Pneumonia often results from Sigh.
Geld when no danger is apprehended
until 1t is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty In breath
ing 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. For sale by all druggists.
