USE LETTUCE DAILY.
Then, Says O Medical Journal. You Are
Proof Against Smailrox.

Don't forget that lettuce is a pre-.
ventive OF smallpox.
SO far as IT is possible for hu-
man being TO be protected from
catching smallpox lettuce is pro-
lection.
No need for vaccination whatever.
Any person who eats small quanti-
ty Of lettuce twice a day, morning
and evening, is as we'll protected
against smallpox as it is possible for
any one to be.
To be sure, one ought TO be clean,
ought TO live in ventilated rooms
and avoid dirt Of Al. sorts; also avoid
contact with people who have small
pox Foolish exposure TO the con-
tagion Of smallpox is not to be
thought Of. But there is no need
for vaccination.
Go calmly on about your business.
Provide small quantity of lettuce
morning and evening, and YOU can
feel sure that you have protected
yourself and your family in the best
possible way against smallpox.
Lettuce is one of the Oldest vege-
table remedies known to the med
lcal profession. Long before il was
used as food il was used as medi-
cine. Many times it has been claim
ed that it has magical or miracu-
lous powers TO prevent contagious
disease. We believe this Is carving
matters. altogether too far. But let
.uce does furnish TO the system ex-
lctly what is needed to protect it
against the poison of smallpox.
We defy any one to produce
'ase of smallpox that has been con-
racted by any person who made
laily use Of lettuce as a food. If
here is any such case on record we
vould be glad TO hear Of it.-Medi-
al Talk.

An Alaskan Pro lsct.

There Is talk at Nome, Alaska,
according to the Springfield Repub-
lcan, Of building a gambling casino
on the ice Of Boring sea, outside
the three mile limit. This will put
the casino beyond the reach of the
laws of the United States and will
make the place about as lawless as

BLOOMINGTON M0Bs
WRECK STREET CARS
Assault Nonunion Men and Police
and Destroy Property.

Bloomington, ILL.,; Scenes Of dis
order unprecedented in its history
married Bloomington's Sunday quiet.
The hoodlum element, taking advan-
tage Of the strike of the street railway
company's employees, wrecked the few
cars operated, assaulted the nonunion
motormen and conductors and even
members of the police force suffered.
The street car company Sunday at
tempted to operate cars on all its
eleven lines. There was little disorder
In the morning, but in the afternoon
mobs Of men and boys congregated on
every street where cars we're moving
and the authorities we're powerless to
suppress them. A mob boarded West
Chestnut street car and ordered the
nonunion crew to leave, which it did.
The car was then run a mile out,
wrecked, and every window in Il
smashed. One boy was arrested. A
West Washington street car was next
wrecked, after which the mob followed
a Millor Park car, and, despite the
presence of two policemen and a num-
Der of lady and children passengers
assailed it with missiles, Detective En-
voy and Patrolman Riley being struck.
Two arrests we're made for this as
sault.
The mob then tore up the switch
connecting the Millor park and West
Washington street line. The East Front
and South Main street lines were also
attacked, the rails being creased in
order to prevent the movement Of
cars.
At o'clock the company gave up
the struggle and ordered the wrecked
cars to the barns.
The striking employees were in ses-
sion at their hall all day and had no
share in the disorder.
The street car company served no.
tice upon the mayor that the city
would be held responsible for all dam
ages.
No progress was made in peace ne
gotiations Sunday.

and, meeting him at the Union station
at o'clock Tuesday morning, accom-
panied him without a requisition.
They deny that they had anything to

NIT that they were in Damiansvllle

Robert Grayton of New Memphis,
ILL.,, q brother Of Charles Grayton, is
also under arrest. He formerly work

asked the hunters IL they had licenses
and claimed the right to arrest them.
A fight ensued, in the course Of which
the two Paahlmanns were shot. The
hunters disappeared. They had with
them a peculiarly marked beagle
hound, and by means of that were
traced by Sheriff Ragen Of Clinton
county to New Memphis.
There it was learned that the hound
belonged to Robert Grayton, who was
arrested Monday. He admitted being
in Damiansville on Saturday, but de-
Eied having anything to do with the
killing of Paahlmann. The man told
the sheriff that his companions we're
his two brothers and his brother-in-
law, who were all in st. Louis. On the
advice of his attorney, he arranged
with them to give themselves up. The
younger brother, John Grayton, IA
year.old boy, was not wanted by the
sheriff.
The three men are now in jail at
Carlyle, ILL.,, where they will be held
for the preliminary hearing.

Menelik to President Roosevelt, Mr..
Skinner has been charged to deliver to
the President two lions and a pair Of
elephants tusks.
To each member of the party was
rendered a decoration, the acceptance
of which is held in allegiance, owing
to the official character of the expedi-
tion.
The closing audience granted by

10 BE IN READINESS
IN CASE or WAR
It Is Intended In Case Of Clash We
VIII Not Be Unprepared.

washington: The orders which
have been sent to troops at various
stations to hold themselves In readi-
ness for a forward movement toward
the isthmus of Panama were precau.
tionary measures, according to offi-
cials of the war department. OIL
cially, there Is no admission that the
orders have been issued, and 1t is even
said that the communications were OF
such nature that they could not be con-
strued in rigid military sense as or
ders. II is the desire of the admins.
tration to he prepared for any event
uality. Recently legislation went into
effect creating the general stan Of the
army. The work Of the general stan
as outlined by the laws and the secre-
tary of war is directly in line with pre-
parations for the national defense, and
for preparing for a movement such as
an invasion of the lsthmus Of Panama
would be II such action was found to
be necessary.
Naturally, in the present unsettled
condition of things, and with the press
" boNA NOhAAbAANb Win uOblllb
utterances, there is a disposition on
the part Of the general staff officers
to prepare the different arms of our
service for developments, no matter
how extreme these may be. The war
with Spain found us in a general
state Of unpreparedness. The general
star was created for the purpose of
meeting just the conditions com
planned of after that conflict was re-
viewed. The action of the general
stan in making these advance prepare
tlons in no way commits the admins
tration to a hostile attitude. The con-
eensus Of opinion on the part of the
advisers of the President at this time
is that it would be decidedly unwise
to send troops to the isthmus. 1t has
been often argued that our force of
marines is sufficient to handle any
possible development now probable,
and that the eyes of the world will
not be centered on us in the same
way as they would if a distinct mill
tary expedition is organized.

a voice in the settlement Of questions
connected with the Russian occupa-
ton OF Manchuria.
Russia all along has denied this
right, and unless her reply shows that
she has receded from this position,
which is not expected to be the case,
1t probably will provoke an ultlmatum
from Japan, whose determination to
resort to arms in support Of her claim
is unquestioned.
Advices from Manchuria represent
the Russian officials there as being
surprised at Japan's readiness to fight.
They expected that she would submit
at the last moment, as she did in 1895,
when she surrendered Port Arthur at
the bidding of the European coalition.
The Russian officials rely for sup
port on the same powers which aided
the Russian government on that occa-
sion.
