cONSUMPTION'S WARNING

The aid of scientific inventions is not
needed to determine whether your lungs
are affected. The first symptoms can be
readily noted by anyone of average in
telligence.
There is no disease known that gives SC
many plain warnings of its approach as
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be so quickly reached and checked,
if the medicine used is DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup, which is made to cure
consumption.
1t is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that won't quit,
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, &C
companied by frequent expectoration.
But no matter how deep-seated your
/ cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect cure-as it has
done before in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble.

Crack Shot of a Colorado Deputy.
rom the Denver Times

From the Denver Times.
While Deputy Sheriff William Ronaldson
was In the once bad town of Coffeyville,
Kan, he got some of the Dalton spirit in
his veins and listened to the stories Of how
four of the Daltons met death at the hands
of one man stationed in a shed and shoot
ing through knothole. They told Mr.. Ro-
MADISON stories Of what crack marksmen
the Daltons were and how they picked off
every man that appeared on the streets
with gun.
When the Denver deputy was on the train
some stranger entered into a conversation
about what crack shooters there were In
Kansas about the time the Daltons blew
into Coffeyville and secured several thou
sand dollars from bank.
Ronaldson said: Yes, there were some
goods marksmen there, but ii is easy to hit
a man with a Winchester In Colorado we
use a Colt almost exclusively. OF course,
we have no crack marI1smen, but believe
I might pick off a prairie dog there while
the train is moving
The stranger flashed five-spot in Deputy
Ronaldson's face and it was covered. Ro-
MADISON snapped out his .3S-caliber Colt and
without much elaboration and while the
train was in rapid motion sent one Kansas
prairie dog to the eternal sleep.

yer is now $5 to the good and friends on
the sheriff's force say they would take a
hundred similar bets that RonaIdson could
do the same nine times out OF ten.

PREVENTION METHODS.
Work of Committees Interested in War
on ConSumption

The financial canvass for the work of the
committees on the prevention of consump-
ton and the Improvement of housing condi-
tons has received considerable impetus
during the past few days by the promise of
a number of members of the finance COM
mittee on consumption to give or to raise
500 each. With the actual field work
dertaken by such men W. F. Guide, W. J.
Kehoe. Rudolph Kaufman, Thomas W.
Smith. DR.. F.. j. Shadd and others. there is
good reason to believe that the campaign
against the great white plague and for
better housing conditions will be prosecuted
during the present winter with vigor and
breadth.
New York in few years reduced by one
half its death rate from tuberculosis, put
into effect housing laws which have been
considered nearly ideal by all cities where
the subject has received adequate attention,
established tenement house department
which looks after and tends to improve by
various measures every tenement house IN
the city, and in other ways reached 10 the
very heart of conditions which have tended
to weaken and impoverish the less re-
sourceful people of the municipality.
1t is believed Washington may do equally
well with its problems, which though per-
haps not quite so bad are nevertheless
acute. The tuberculosis death rate is re-
garded as abnormally high, and housing
conditions in the alleys and in some places
for the first time. All of this can be I'M
proved. it Is contended, through the actlV-
ity of citizens. The invitation is to every
citizen and 20 every organization, religious,

GREAT ANCIENT CEMETERY

From the Daily Ardmorete
An ancient burial ground has been dis
covered on the Arkansas river near Web
bers Falls, l. T. This burial ground is
about two miles in length and probably
contains the remains of many thousand
people.
About forty years ago the ground where
these remains of human beings are now
being found was covered with a heavy
growth Of timber and a heavy underground
of cane, but of recent years the timber and
cane have been cleared away and the land
put in g. state of cultivation. In digging
wells and other excavations human re-
mains have been unearthed for several
years past, causing little comment as they

Cultivation of land on the benches near
the river bank. followed by heavy rains
caused washouts to occur frequently when
human remains were brought to view IN
several localities widely apart. Investiga-
tien shows that this burial ground runs for
two miles along the bank of the river the
graves being in regular order, about four
feet apart, and corresponding with the
points of the compass. All of these people
were buried facing the east With each
was found an earthen bowl, inside of which
was a mussel SHE'LL the bowl In every in
stance being in the curve of the right arm
which EMBODIED the same, which was no
doubt a religious rite
In most cases the bones and bowls crum-
bled to dust when exposed to the air but
some were In a fair state of preservation
In one instance only was a war implement
found, and that was q spear head about
nine inches long, In the grave of what ap-
peared to have been giant while the 9TH

some OF them half inch or more in thick

A report of these discoveries has been
sent to Washington. 1t is believed that
this is a burial ground for a prehistoric
race.

DEAD LOST IN CEMETERY.
Workmen Believe It Impossible to
Find Body of Gen. Ira Allen.

From the New York Herald.
TIME has completely obliterated all traces
of many Of the bodies believed to have
been placed IN the old burying ground OF
the Free and Fighting Quakers, 9th street
below Locust, more than century ago.
The burying ground was established IN
1856 as the result of break between those
Friends who wanted to fight for their
country and those who decided to adhere
to the accepted tenets of their religious
faith and pursue the ways of peace.
When recently It was decided to dispose
of the site which had been desecrated
from time to time by persons living IN the
now thickly populated section. no difli ias
was anticipated in finding intact the bones
of the members of the society.
Those buried there shortly before the
burying ground had been abandoned as
such many years ago We're recovered al, sllo
removed to new ground, known as Fiat
Lands at Protectory station, across the
river from Valley Forge. But in many In
stances tombstones reared over the graves
of soldiers remain the only traces to IN
dictate that body was deposited on that
spot.
Where the Quaker idea prevailed that
such monuments are but the part of pomp
and vanity of the world, the graves were
unmarked, and where the workmen have
dug trenches, expecting 20 find bodies as
designed on the plans of the burying
ground, not a trace of human frame
The excavations made for the body or

who was thought to have been buried to the
right of the entrance from 9th street, have
been closed, and a stake driven at point
which would have marked the head OF the
grave.

grave" said the foreman in charge Of the
gang of workmen. Some of the bodies
have been here since the burying ground
was established, and we are finding no
traces of bodies where we expect to find
them
Workmen are engaged in removing the
$500 bodies from st. Joseph's cemetery,
Passyunk avenue, Sth street and Washing
ton avenue, which is to be abandoned TO
Holy Cross cemetery. 1t was established
in 1921 by a special fund raised oy the
communicates of st. Joseph's Church, as
a free burial ground for the poor of the
parish.
During the yellow fever epidemic in this
city in 1884, the cemetery was thrown
open for the burial of Catholics from all
of the parishes of the city. Later lots were
sold and fifteen years ago the cemetery
was closed. every available space having
been occupied. Two years ago the bodies
of the clergymen buried there were re-
moved to Holy Cross.

Ware G. LeIand's Market Letter.

For some unexplained reason the cot
ton market has been unusually strong
throughout the session. There was a de-
cline of about ponst in Liverpool and
under ordinary circumstances the local
market should have opened lower than
last night.
But instead of this the demand for
cotton was such that after a steady
opening prices advanced during the mid
day trading and options sold up within
points of yesterdays high prices
In view of the uncertainty of the gin
ners report tomorrow, and the pressure
exerted by the short interests, cotton
showed a degree OF strength that had not
been expected
There appeared to be an active de-
mand for July below cents and the
large blocks of cotton sold yesterday
have not been covered. The selling was
done on the theory that the usual de-
cline would follow th cginners' report
and enough cotton had been put out to
leave a considerable demand In the event
of a decline tomorrow. 1t is generally
believed the report will show a crop
of about 13000,00O bales. This has been
expected however. and it Is an open
question whether prices viii break very
much On a decline of 90 to 30 points
we would rot hesitate to take aboard
some cotton for a turn.
There is ready demand for cotton
on every break below cents.

this dividend rate was one of the many
suppositions surrounding the moement
in the group.
The belief that the quarterly statement
of United States steel earnings to be
given out during the afternoon would
prove favorable, caused a demand for
United States steel preferred, and Anal
gamated copper was also strong. The
opening dip in prices may have been in
fluenced to some extent by the renewal of
attention to the subject of federal con-
troll of railroad rates caused by the Presi-
dents Philadelphia speech and by reports
of a party agreement on a congressional
measure The change in officials of the
Vanderbilt system looking to concentra-
ton of operation were not regarded as
adequate explanation for the excited
movements in the stocks, and there was
considerable realizing late in the day.
Recoveries at some points made the clos
ing irregular.

great animation and made surprising
upshots in their prices, when it became

BILE, was restrained by comparison with
the Junior stocks, owing to the same
reason. The % point rise in Chicago, ST.

BEARS NOT AGGRESSIVE

New York, January 31.-After a quiet
and uninterestlng morning, during which
prices barely moved, the cotton market
became more active and showed consider
able firmness. chiefly as a result of talk
of a better spot demand, and disappoint-
ment among small shorts that the expec-
tations of a bearish census report tomor-
row had not been accompanied by more
aggressive operations on the part of bear
leaders.
The market opened steady at unchanged
prices to an advance of points, which
was fully as good as due on cables re-
porting slightly lower futures than war
ranted by the New York close of the
previous day, this showing being offset
to some extent by the relative steadiness
for the English spot market, and full
receipts reported. With some of the small
er professionals in the local market 1t
seemed bearish on the theory advanced by
the bear leaders that the weaker shorts
had covered on the bulge of yesterday
and some long interests had accumulated
which might be forced out by a slight
aggressive selling, these interests covered
their early sales later in the day. thus
adding to the force of the buying move
ment on the afternoon advano7 The local
market was flooded around midday by

seemed to be buying here, and there was
