A NIGHT Attack.

Last night the little daughter of
Mrs. Brown, as she sweetly and peace
fully slept in her little bed near the
window, was attacked by an death
dealing demon known as Group
Whooping Cough, and but for the
timely use of Kennedy's Laxative
Honey and Tar, which she always
keeps handy, the lie of the little one
might not have been saved. Ken
nedy's Laxative Honey and Tar is diff
ferent from all of the old time cough

cause it acts on the bowels, is harm
less, safe and certain. Contains NO

MASTER BUILDERS SAY
OPEN SHOP IS NECESSARY
In Order to be Able to Garry
on Successfully Building
Operations

Members OF the Master Builders AS
sociat.on of Wilmington are deter
mined that the open shop" rule shall
be applied in building operations dun
ing the coming season and have G
clared to that effect
The association claims that the
trades unions are deamndlng too much
from builders and that year after year
their lines are drawn closer. They
say also that it is almost impossible
for contracts to be made with any de-
gree Of certainty as to whether they
win be carried out within contract
time and that as a consequence con
tractors are loath to undertake any
jobs.
II is probable that under these con-
ditions that labor troubles will ensue
almost as soon as the building season
opens. In several other cities build
ers have come to the same CONCLUSION
and there is n possibility of general
lockout in the building industry.

curious Facts About Suicide.

Prof. William B. Bailey of Yale has
brought out some interesting facts
based on 29,344 cases of suicide, cover
ing the period from 1897 to 1901, says
Leslie's Weekly. Using the 10000
unit. he finds that 1871 males and
2,219 females found life intolerable,
and, despairing of mending, ended it.
This leaves the ratio of cowardice 31a
to in favor of feminine courage. AL
most two-thrds of the suicides oc-
Cured between the ages OF twenty and
fifty. Curiously enough, there are
more married than single suicides.
While married men are more likely to
take the plunge than married women,
single, widowed and divorced women
are more prone to kill themselves than
unattached males. Business losses
are more likely to drive people to sui
eide than i'll health, insanity. disap-
ipointment in love or strong drink.
