PROPER TREATMENT OF PNEUMONIA

PROPER TREATMENT OF PNEUMONIA.
Pneumonia Is too dangerous a disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor himself.
although he may have the proper reme-
dies at hand. A physician should always
be called. 1t should be borne in mind.
however, that pneumonia always results
from cold or from an attack Of the
grip. and by the proper treatment of
these diseases threatened attack of
pneumonia may be warded of. There is
no question whatever about this, as dur
ing the thirty years and more that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy has been used.
we have vet to learn of a single case Of a
cold or attack Of the grip having resul-
ted in pneumonia when this remedy was
used. 1t Is also used by physicians m
the treatment Of pneumonia with the
best results. DIR. W. j. Smith, of San
ders. Ala, who is also druggist. says of

If the reader will Just stop a
minute or two and think he will
readily understand why "the as
SCISSORS throughout the State I'M
derstand the situation" The as
SCISSORS are removable from Office
at the Governors will, and they
understand" that they must raise
this three-quarters of a million
dollars or else lose their official
heads.
The administration has lost the
million dollar bond issue, failed to
increase the salaries of those Off
Gals to whom it stood pledged to
raise their pay, lost the. court of
appeals-the jobs already promi-
sed-and every administration
measure that was submitted to the
people. aud now we have the spec
tacle of sovereign State that has
appropriated 100000 more than
its revenues amount to. The peo-
pie are already taxed to the ex.
treme limit, and now the Governor
takes the only road open to him.
He must increase the taxing value
OF the property of the taxpayers.
Of course, the assessors under
stand that they must raise the
coin. no matter how, but do the
people understand why the expen-
penses of the State government
should more than double in four
teen years-from 81, 100000 in

We learn that the town authori-
ties have put night police in this
town since few days, which we
consider wise plan. but we be-
lieve better protection could be
secured by having only one police
on duty during the day. and change
their time from noon to midnight
and mid night to noon and
with one all night police
would give us better protec-
ton, at least during the time that
SO many burglaries are being bold
ly committed in the towns sur
rounding us. This night work
may not be a pleasant duty for
the officers, but we depend upon
them, upon their vigilance for
protection. Every town is liable
to be attacked by the burglars at
any time, and for this reason, we
should be prepared to give them
hot reception if ever they choose
to make an attempt at some of our
safes. It does not take an expert
more than about ten minutes to
open one of the ordinary safes,
and those who have valuables in
them would have better protection
from a good police force than
from that supposed strong box.

A Telegraphic Dispatch from
Rome says:
THE death of Cardinal Stein
huber has increased to ten the va
cancies in the College of Cardi-
nails, and it is the opinion here
that the Pope can not delay much
longer the holding of the consis-
tory. which was announced to take
place some time before Easter
Sunday. Cardinal Steinhuber
was the only member of the Sa-
cred College belonging to the Je-
suit order, which, being the most
powerful in the church, is never
left long without representation
among the cardinals, so that also
for this season every one is expec-
ting the consistory will take place
before the end of the month.
Last week there arrived in
Rome Prince Max of Saxony.
Prince Max is yosng brother of
the King of Saxony, and as it has
been the custom of the church for
centuries to elevate all near rela-
tives of reigning kings who have
taken up The ecclesiastical career
to the highest honors in the
church, it is said to be the inten-
ton OF the Pope to make the young
Prince a cardinal very soon.
1t is stated that for the moment
at least Plus X will not nominate
any other foreign cardinals, as be
does not wish to fill more vacan-
cies in the Sacred College than
absolutely necessary.
