] PNEUMONIA SEASON.
How the Disease Develops and How
How to Prevent It.

Neglect of colds is responsible for
more deaths than the whole list OF dis
eases. Pneumonia is quickly developed
at this season of the year and unless you
cure the cold right you are in great dan
ger of being taken down with the dis
ease When you take sscough balsams''
or 'ssyrups" containing deadly drugs that
weaken the body, you are inviting Pneu-
monia.
4 You will understand how that is just
las well as your doctor, if you stop to
think that over 80 per cent. of these mix
lures depend for their effect entirely
upon the opium, morphine and other pois-
onous drugs they contain-an effect
which is simply Temporary deadening
of the nerves at the expense of weaken
ling the body.
The system thus weakened is not able
to drive off the visiting germs of pnen-
monia-and the cold reaches the lining
of the lungs, they become inHamed and
cdngested, and you are down with pneu-
monia; if your system has been too much
weakened by poisonous drugs you may
not get up again because it is a question
whether or not you have fighting power
enough left in your body to fight off
the disease.
As has been said in this paper, Father
Johns medicine Cares colds and prevents
lpneumonia-it drives off the cold and
lgives vital force to the system so that
pneumonia can be fought off 1t strength
ems the body because il is all pure. .nour-
Iishment, without opium, morphine or any
3of the poisonous drugs contained in the
over 80 per cent. of "cough balsamsn
and 'ssyrups'' referred to above.
While this is written 10 call your at
ltention to Father Johns Medicine
which an eminent specialist prescribed
for the late Rev Father John O'Brien
of Lowell, Mass, so years ago, and
which is not a patent medicine -what we

Chassis, who is a photographer, was onl,
seeing pictures of thief in his sleep.
The next excitement occurred at 10.3(
o'clock last evening, in the fashionabl,
section of Clifford avenue and the Boule
ward. Patrolman Breen, who happened
to be in that vicinity, saw two men who
looked suspicious and who were about tc
enter a house. AS the officer approached
they leaped from veranda and he gave
chase, assisted by Patrolman Boyle and
three other officers. Shots were fired
and for a time this quiee section was as
much aroused as if a CIRCUS was passing
through it. The thieves escaped.
Patrolman Breen. who also happened
to be on duty the morning before, stated
that he saw the same men proving
about his post in suspicious manner.
He described them as being, one short
and dark, and the other tall and dark,
and both as being well dressed.
At about nine o'clock last evening a
man who said he was Joseph Kierston.
of No, 1856 Johnston avenue, ran up tc
an officer on Pacific avenue, and sale
that he had been held up at the cana
bridge on the above avenue by three
men, who stole 50 from him. The officer
did his best to get to the vicinity of the
bridge in time to catch the highwaymen,
but there was no one in sight by the time
he arrived at his destination.
More excitement was afforded in the
hill seton when the residents Of Acad-
emy street were treated to such pleasant
sounds as Help" Murder Burglars, =
at the unreasonable hour of 4.25 this
morning. It was another case Of
dream" as ohe officer who was attract
ed by the shouts, remarked. This time
it was at the home of Mr. John L. Comp
ton, at No. 295 Academy street, and the
cause of the noise was Mrs. Compton,
who is from all accounts possessed of al
good pair of lungs, as she awoke every
neighbor in that section. She heard al
faint tingling of burglar alarm that isl
attached TO the house, and after she gotI
through yelling she said she was sureI
there we're burglars about.
Mr. Compton, who is prominent busi-
ness man and an Elk, attended social
session of the Lodge last evening and al
member of the Lodge remarked today:
John evidently was trying to get intoI
the house without the knowledge of hisI
wife, and set the burglar alarm off,
The next one was in the vicinity of
Railroad avenue, near Grove street,
where the residents were awakened by a
man trying doors, This time the burglar
was captured and he described himself
as Patrick Gaffney. This morning Judge
Higgins sent him to the County Jail for
sixty days. Gaffney said he was looking
for side door of a saloon, and as there
was none in the vicinity where he was
caught Judge Higgins did not quite be-
lieve him.
This closed the list Of alarms for the
day and the polio were glad.

HOLD UP GAME PREVALENT

Throughout Jersey City last evening
and early this morning there was con-
siderable excitement, and the cause on
more than one occasion was the holding
mp of pedestrians, ringing of burglar
alarms and policemen chasing burglars.
The first notice of the trouble was the ar
rest of John Smith and David Green. %
and 26 years of age. who are well known
in the lower section of the city, particu-
larry to the police.
Patrolman Edward Brown was notified
at II o'clock last night by Frank Gra-
gragowitz, of No. S25 Henderson street,
that the prisoners accosted him at Grove
and Grand streets. and opening his coat,
demanded to know whether he had any
money with him and when he replied in
the negative they let him go.
AT that tim Gragragowitz said that
q trolley car was approaching, and it
evidently scared the prisoners. They re-
ieased their hold upon him, but just as
soon as the car went by they again at
sacked him and starred to beat him.
This morning the prisoners, before
Judge Higgins, plead not guilty, and they
were held for the Grand Jury.
Yesterday afternoon the quiet section
of Washington and Grand street, was
disturbed by the pursuit of a man who
had entered the boarding house OF Her
man Hoffman. of No 122 Sussex street.
Yells of .'Stop thiefg, proceeded from
women as well as men who were in chase.
At about two o'clock IN the afternoon
the thief. who described himself as Pat
rick o'NeilI, of Hackensack, was discov-
cred in the Hoffman home by Miss Lena
Hoa&pan, the eldest daughter of Mr..
Hoffman, as he was leaving the house
wdth az rain coat, overcoat and a golf
cap. The young woman fearlessly Crap
pied with the man and her screams at
tracted. Miss Stella ventz, the only other
occupant of the house at the time. who,
while Miss Hoffman held the thief, took
the articles that he was trying to steal
away from him. Miss Hoffman then
took such a good hold of the man that
he could not harm her and instructed
Miss Ventz to get an officer. As Miss
Yentz opened the door the thief
broke from Miss Hoffman and darted
TO the street with the two young ladies'
after him yelling at the top of their
voices. The chase continued UP Sussex
street, to Washington street, to Grand
street. where the thief was tripped by
John Halloran, and held until Patrolman
Dennis Sullivan, who had beep attracted
by the noise, ran up from his Montgom-
cry street post.
This morning the man admitted his
guilt, as to stealing the rain coat and cap,
but not the overcoat. Judge Higgins sent
him to the County Farm for three
months.
At 11.45 last night a man, who said
his name was William Chassis, rushed up
to Roundsman Gonser ON Lower Mont
gomery street, and excitedIy informed the
officer that burglars were trying to get
into his home. at No. 81 Montgomery.
The roundsman made thorough inves-
tigation, and finding no traces of a thief,
finally came to the conclusion that
