PNEUMONIA HERE
Leads All other Diseases in Death
Reports--The Cause andgvvhy

Pneumonia leads all other diseases in
the weekly death reports filed at City
Hall within the past few weeks.
Pneumonia is germ disease, due to
specific germ. 1t is not of particular
interest to know that this germ is called
the Diplococeus. 1t is important TO know,
however, that the pneumonia germ cam
not grow in a system that is properly for
tilted.
Pneumonia frequently follows long ex-
posure-and when the doctors use the
word exposure. they mean any condition
that tends to exhaust vitality and waste
tissue; it may be cold drenching in
a pouring rain, or a weakened state of
the organs of the body-excess in any
form.
The doctor knows that his first duty
is to have the patient take nourishment-
that will increase the bodily warmth.
The elements that Nature draws upon
day by day to keep up this bodily warmth
are the exact properties contained in the
FORMULA of Father Johns Medicine.
That is why no other medicine ever
prescribed is more efFective) in curing
colds, grip and pneumonia.
Pneumonia often follows colds and grip
because the body has been weakened by
the poisonous and nerve deadening drugs
contained in 80 per cent of the patent
medicines and so-called cough balsams''
and .ssyrups.''
What you mistake for temporary relief
from these dangerous preparations is
deadening of the nerves at the expense
of weakening the body; the disease and
impurities remain.
If, after a cold or attack of the grip.
you feel tired and exhausted It is because
the process by which the impurities are
driven out has been Interrupted and held
in cheek by these drugs
1t is in the getting well stage that there
is great danger, and it is important that
the body should ID nourished and
strengthened gradually and naturally. to
escape this danger. Father Johns Medi-
cine, which is pure nourishment and
free from poisonous drugs in any form,
will do this. 1t always prevents pneu
monia, if taken before that stage when
you have to call a doctor We refund
the money for any cough or cold it does
not cure.
i is prescribed by hospitals and ply
sicians. and has been for years.

Year.
OF WHAT THE FORCE CONSISTS
Statistics OF Alarms and
Losses-W What the Most
Urgent Needs Are.

Fire Chief John Conway last night

good condition except the four-wheel ten
der With the exception of Nos. 6, IA

The department possesses 26,600 feet
of 2l5 inch Eureka cotton hose, 1000
feet of 1-inch rubber hose 1o4 feet of 31a
inch of Eureka cotton rubber lined hose.
All of this hose is in use. but the depart

THEY ACTUALLY DO THE WORK.
Food Eaten is Worthless Unless Di-
gested Some Stornachs Must
Have Help.

Food taken into the stomach, which,
from the nature Of the food or the condi-
tion Of the stomach. is not digested, is
worse than no fco,l at all. This Is a true
statement as far as it goes an9 great
many dysrCptics SO onls this far with
tacit reasoning. Tley argue with them
selves that because their stomachs do
mot do the work given them, they must
be given less work; in other words, they
..,asi he s. ed. It. No / ia test as
sensible for u business man who is unable
to do all his own work to cut down his
business to his own capacity as It isyfor a
man to starve himself 10 relieve his
stomach. The sensible business man
employs help and goes forward with his
business. Likewise the sensible dyspep-
tic will employ help for his stomacllsrrid
give his body proper nourishment.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them They re-
lieve weak and overburdened stomachs Of
a great portion Of digestive action. Their
component parts are identical with those
of the digestive fluids and secretions Of
the stomach and they simply take up the
grind and carry on the work Just the
same asa good. strong, healthy stomach
would do it.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance in
the stomach or bowels. They themselves
digest the food and supply the system
with all the ,nourishment contained in
whst il eaten and carry out Natures
plans for the sustenance and maintenance
Of the body.
How much more sensible is this meth
cd than that employed by many sufferers
from weak stomachs BY this means the
body and brain get all the good, nutri-
tious food they need and the man is
properly nourished and equipped to carry
on his work and perform his duties. He
could not possibly be in proper working
condition by starving himself or employ
ing some new tangled, insufficient foed
that does not contain enough nutriment
for year-old baby. A strong man do-
ing strong work must be properly fed
and this applies to the brain as well as
the body
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by reliev-
ing the stomach of it's work, enable it to
recuperate and regain it's normal health
and strength. Nature repairs the worn
and wasted TISSUES just as she heals and
knits the bone of broken limb, which
is of course not during the process of
repair.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at 30 cents bex,
and they are the one ayticle the druggist
does not try to sell something in the
place of that's '.jlst as good. Their
unqualified merit and success and the
universal demand for them has placed
them within the reach of every one.

Early this morning Police Captain Cody
fof the Gregory street station stopped in
at Woods HaA. on Barrow street, on. his
way home He saw Routh upon the
floor, dancing with a pretty girl. Wait
ing until the dance ended, he worked his
way through the crowd of merrymakesr
to get Rorth. The latter saw him, and,
bolting for tn edoor, made his escape to
the street before Cody could catch him.
| Captain Cody gave chase. Blowing his
call whistle, he summoned. seven police
men.
Many of the dancers had left the hall
to see the outcome of the trouble.
Women in evening dress followed the po-
licemen in their quest for Rotlth. The

when she learned the cause of her es-
cort's abrupt departure. Routh had half
a block the start of Captain Cody. The
latter drew his revolver and fired two
shots at the fleeing man, but failed to
halt him. Routh ran up Montgomery

Patrolman Frank Meehan had taken up
tht immediate chase in the stead of Cap

tributed the other six policemen so as to
cover the four blocks surrounding
Woods Hail.
Meehan was not far behind Routh
when he entered the house. He followed
him to the yard. Routh scaled the fence
with Meehan after him. Two other fenc-
es were climbed and then Meehan lost
sight of Routh. There was but one place
which could lend concealnent to man
and that was the space beneath the rear
loop of the house. The space was mar
row dark and dirty. Routh was desper-
ate Meehan. who wears the bronze
cross for bravery for having risked his
life in catching a desperate burglar, did
not hesitate but crawled beneath the
steps. He was forced to lie on his belly,
so small was the space. He had not
gone far before he got kidk in the head
from Routh. who unable to turn around
was huddled in corner with his feet
facing the policeman. Meehan grabbed
the legs Of Routh and despite his strug-
giles secured him.
In the yard Routh showed further fight
but was soon subdued. He was taken
to the Gregory street station and held
