Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our change
able climate. To protect the family from
colds and coughs is always a serious prob
lem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the Inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in avoid
ing exposure and the use of proper cloth
ing will protect from the frequency and
perhaps the severity of colds, but with the
greatest of precautions they will come.
This is a settled fact of human experience.
Everybody must expect to be caught some
where or somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a draught,
or damp clothes, or it may be one of a
thousand other little mishaps, but no one
is shrewd enough to always avoid the inev-
table catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science better
known than that Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located. Thousands of families
in all parts of the United States are pro-
tected from colds and catarrh by Peruna.
Once in the family Peruna always stays.
No Aome can spare Peruna after the first
tria. of it.

THE BATH IN LAW.
Question Now Before a California
Court fer Decision.

NOuTt tcF Dcctslon.
What constitutes a bath?
This is a peculiar question with
which a California court is now wrest-
Ing. An anxious world impatiently
awaits the decision.
A California householder is being
sued for the price of a heater that was
guaranteed to heat sufficient water for
! bath. and the defendant has proved
that it supplied only So gallons of hot
water, which he alleged to be insult
eient for a bath.
The plaintiff insisted that So gallons
IS ample. declaring that "a man could
get wet first on one side and then on
The other" and that "it is not neces-
sary that he should take a plunge in
a swimming pool"
On this question the issue Is Joined.
The court has the matter under ad-
visement.
The decision will, of course. be of
great Importance, no matter on which
side 1t is rendered. The legal quantity
OF water necessary to a legal bath
ought to be clearly defined. for the
protection of the public against people
who evidently regard a pint or so sufi-
cient.
Bible students will recall the fact
that among the ancient Hebrews the
bath" was a regular liquid measure,
and scholars have agreed on eight and
one-half gallons as its modern equiva-
lent. 1t would seem, therefore, that
If eight and one-half gallons was the
regulation amount for bodily additions
IN the days of Solomon, then 35 gal
Ions ought to be ample at the present
time.
This important fact is cited. not
from any desire to unduly influence
the court, but merely to substantiate
the point that the bath ought 10 be
legally defined now as it was in the
time Of Solomon.
Ard when the requirements have
been fixed. even Chicago professors
ought to be made to conform to them,

Denver, Col, June S.-Denver and
Rio Grande passenger train No. 5,
westbound from Denver, has been held
up by five masked men three miles west
of Parachute, small fruit station mid
way between Grand Junction and
Glenwood Springs.
One sealed bag, containing specie,
was taken from the express safe, which
was dynamited. The express car was
badly wrecked, but the robbers were
forced to take TO the mountains before
they could gather up the valuables in
the car. Two sheriffs. with posses,
are hunting the robbers.
When the train reached point three

men crawled over the tender Of the

man and made them stop the train.
Three men who were waiting on the
tender then jumped down and uncou-
pied the express and baggage cars.
These cars. with the engine, were run
two miles further west.
Messenger d. M. Shea refused to
open the express car and piled the
baggage up in front of the door. The
robbers, with stick of dynamite. blew
away the side door of the car.
A stick of dynamite was then placed
against the lock of the safe. At this
point Brakeman Shellenbarger, who
had been ordered to remain with the
passenger coaches two miles behind,
came running up with a lantern. One
of the robbers shot him in the leg.
When the robbers saw that the train
crew were coming they fed to the
mountains. One of them, as he jumped
from the express car, grabbed one
sealed bag which had been blown clear
out Of the safe. This was the only
plumber which was taken. 1t was re-

Sullivan, the general secretary of the
National Executive Board of the Ma
rine Firemen's Council. The strike is
expected to extend to all the coast cities
from Portland, Me, to Galveston, Tex.
According to the expectation of Sec
retary Sullivan, about $4,000 men will
be out on strike within the next two
weeks.
The firemen declare that their strike,
although called while the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
freight handlers are out, is not SYM
pathetic, neither is it for increased
wages or shorter hours, but to do
away with what the members of the
union consider to be their greatest
grievance, the "crimp" system.
Secretary Sullivan tonight gave out
a statement as to the firemen's griev-
ances, in which he said:
The 'crimp is fellow who goes
to the high officials of coastwise lines
who give him money to control the
shipping of firemen. These 'crimps'
make anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year out of the poorly paid and hard
worked hremen. This money is taken
out of the wages of the firemen on
every trip and then the 'crimp' meets
the head of the line and shares with
him the blood money he has taken
from the firemen.
I'VE have protested against this sys-
tenn to the representatives of the var
ious coastwise. lines and they have met.

dealings with the 'crimps' when we Of
fered to prove to them that such was
the case. The reason why they stand
up for the 'crimps is because there is
big graft in it for the man higher up
"Our demands upon the companies
were fair. We asked FIVE of the COM
panies to abolish the crimp' entirely
and recognize our union, and our de-
mand was refused. From three com
panies we asked an increase of 161k
cents a day, and this was also refus-

BLACKSHEAR VISITED
BY ANOTHER BIG FIRE
McDonough Hotel Burns just as II
Is Completed.


Blackshear. Ga, June 8.-Blackshear
has again been visited by a disastrous
conflagration. About / o'clock this
afternoon the upper story of the new
McDonough Hotel was discovered to
be on fire, and in an incredibly short
time the whole building was a mass
of flames.
The flames quickly spread to the
sample room of the MeGee House on
the north and to the residence of Wal
buildings were also consumed. For
a time it looked as if the fire would
spread to the MCGEE Hotel and the
Coast Line depot, in which event the
handsome residence of Alonzo j.
Strickland would have been burned.
On the south the fire threatened the
home of Hon. Joseph A. Harper,
county school superintendent. but it
was fortunately checked before great
er damage was done.
The McDonough Hotel was just be-
ing completed and Mrs. McDonough,
the owner. was just moving in to-day,
preparatory 10 opening the mouse.
Most of the furniture had been put in
and the first meal was being prepared
when the fire was discovered.
The loss is only partially insured and
is as follows: Mrs. NJ. e. McDonough,
building and furniture, $500; insur-
ance. $1,000; r. S. McGee, small frame
building used as sample room, $500,
with no insurance; Walter A. Milton
dwelling and damage to furniture, ST.
500; insurance, $1,000.
At one time 1t looked as If a large
area Of the town would be wiped out
and Waycross was appealed to. Supt
Wright Immediately ordered that a
special train be held in readiness to
bring assistance from that town. The
people of Blackshear are very grateful
for this action on the part of Supt
Wright and the people of Waycross
who held themselves in readiness to
assist.
1t was very dry. and large cinders
were carried full half mile from the
fire. There were several incipient
blazes here and there, which were
promptly extinguished.
