TRADE IN WAR RELICS.
Anything That VIII Serve a Me- mento of Brave Deeds Finds Ready Sale.

War medals, mostly won at the cost
 ,f peril and privation, are pawned by possessors and never redeemed, or are
 sent to the hammer by needy relatives
 on the decease of the veterans. It may i De here noted that no man on the army active strength is allowed to pledge his
 medals. As is well known, war decora-
 lions that pass by the means stated.
 and otherwise, into commerce, are eagerly purchased by dealers, who dis pose of them to museums; also to pri- vate collectors of every grade, from American millionaires to British pub l licans.
 These disks of silver especially those awarded for modern campaigns, from the Crimean war downward, are occa- sionally put by dealers to novel use. By the aid of blowpipe the inscrip- ton on the edge can be filled with sil- yer, when the surface, if need be, is ready for reengraving. Doctoring of the name, rank and regiment by the method mentioned is common i'll the
 trade. So it may be that the virtuoso
 who imagines that hs possesses me mento of the late gallant Gen. Fitz Car mage, K. c. B., who distinguished him. 1 self at Balaklava, would be shocked if he knew that his pet curio is fraud
 and that it belonged to old Tommy
 Atkins, of the Onety-oneth foot, who pawned it before he retired into the worlthouse to die.
 Again, officers serving or retired sometimes lose their medals, or have
 them feloniously annexed. Sooner than go through the war office red tape mill to procure duplicates relettered medals are obtained from dealers. Mendicants get hold of the medals in order to ex- hibit them to credulous and benevo- lent folks, and thus extract more lib- eral aims. War decorations are also oc- casionally sported by one-armed or sim glelegged organ grinders. Such gentry
 warrant themselves to be British, and plead for patronage as matter of na- tional sentiment and as opposed to the claims of the Saffron hill musical con tingent of invaders. These medai-dts- playing humbugs are seldom ex-sol- uiSIS, Adt lCSS ldsC oACy oCCh dAo1oiCu in active service. They are at times ] considerably out" in respect of bit
 of medal ribbon shown. For instance,
 an organ grinder of about 25 years of age was observed in Holborn the other day sporting the Crimean and Mutiny ] ribbons!
 Sometimes an actor possessed of a
 passion for realism, who may have to impersonate on the stage the herb of
 100 fights, invests in real medals with which to cover the breast of his tunic. Also genuine war decorations adorn the uniformed presentments of eminent warriors in the best-class wax exhibi. tions throughout the country. A year or two ago paragraph went the rounds of the papers to the effect that king of tribe on the west coast of Africa had mania for collecting British war medals, and that city firm had a standing order to supply his sable maj esty. The king owned major gen. erals tunic on which were sewn-both back and front, and from collar to tails medals and clasps from those of the peninsula and Waterloo downward. This garment the monarch proudly sported on extra special state occasions. Regiment.

You Must
 Sleep.

If you cannot, it is due to an irritated or congested state of the brain, which will soon de- velope into nervous prostration.
 Nature demands sleep, and it is as important as food; it is a part of her building and sustaining process. This period of unconsciousness relaxes the mental and physical strain, and allows nature to restore ex- hausted vitality.
 Dr. Miles Nervine brings refreshing sleep, because it soothes the irritation and re- moves the congestion.
 It is also a nerve builder; it nourishes and strengthens ev- cry nerve in your body, and creates energy in all the organs.
 Nothing will give strength and vitality as surely and quickly as Dr. Miles Nervine.
 During the past winter I had two attacks of LaGrippe which left me very weak. and in bad condition. was so nervous I could not sleep. My wife, after trying different remedies. went for doctor The doctor was out, and a neighbor recommended Dr. Miles Nervine, and she brought home bottle. I had not slept for some time, and had terrible pains in my head. After taking a few doses of NerVine the pain was not so severe, and I slept I am now taking the second bottle. and arr very much improyed.'

HUMIDITY WITHIN THE HOUSE
Heating Problem Is Well Worth Elk
haustive Study.

From American Homes and Gardens.
There is most mistaken notion that hu-
mildly is a source of discomfort and an
noyance. That much suffering is caused
in summer by an excess of humidity Is I'M
duestionaby true; but the relationship be-
tween temperature and humidity is far from
being understood. and particularly the part
humidity takes in the heating economy OF
the house in the winter.
That the average American house is too
highly heated in winter will be admitted
without qualification; IL is a characteristic
of almost every American interior where
coal can be had for consumption. 1t is, of
course, necessary to keep warm In our cold
and trying winters and the commonplace
way Of doing so Is to burn UP as much coal
as possible.
Scientific study of the heating problem
has. however, demonstrated that the best
way to heat a house. the safest way in
which to keep warm, is to burn coal IN a
scientific way, using 1t properly getting the
most out of 1t and conducting the perform
ance with the aid Of scientific apparatus
contrived to insure the best results
Some very curious effects have been noted
from the study of heating conditions.
Rooms in which the temperature Is higher
than that of other rooms on other DAYS feel
colder to the occupants than when the room
thermometer reads less. Investigation has
brought out the remarkable fact that there
Is direct relationship between the effect
of temperature and the moisture of the air.
In other words, given two rooms OF equal
temperature, the one with the greater hui
nudity Will feel the warmer; or, put 1t an
other way, the room which has the greater
humidity will require less temperature as
recorded by the thermometer than the one
which is dryer. The obvious conclusion
from such observations is that a proper
relationship must be maintained between
the humidity and the temperature OF our
houses DIR. Henry Mitchell Smith, who has
given much time to the investigation of this
subject, suggests about GO per cent. never
less than 80 per cent nor more than
With such a percentage of humidity tenn
perature of Go degrees Fahrenheit Is found
amply sufficient and comfortable
Two results follow from a proper adjust
ment Of the relationship between tempera-
ture and humidity. There is greater per-
sonal comfort and less danger from ois-
ease, because with this adjustment comes
more heaIthful atmosphere The humid
ity within the house bears a more scientific
relationship to that without. condition
quite essential to good health in winter.

NARROW ESCAPE FOR
FITZGERALD AND CANS.

SAN FRANCISCO December 3O-For
thirteen hours Willie Fitzgerald the Brook
Ign scrapper, and Joe Cans Of Baltimore
were lost on the bosom of the deep yes
terday. There was persistent rumor about
town last night that the pair OF light
weight scrappers had persisted at sea. The
exhausted and edraggled pair turned In at
Crolls at 3 o'clock this morning after a
searching party had about given up hopes
of ever seeing them again.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon the fight
ers went forth In search OF game. They
hired sailboat and intended to float down
the bay until they came to a wooded spot
near the Emeryville race track When the
pair were fairly launched on their cruise
they discovered that they were being drift
ed out to sea before q stiff gale. The pugil-
lists set to with might and main to regain
land. but the wind was stronger than their
efforts and it looked as IL they were DOOM
ed men. For hours they foated aimless-
ly about the bay. terror-stricken and help
less. They shouted for help, but none
came. Finally turn Of the tide carried
them ashore near their training quarters.

MAY TIE UP AMERICAN.
ASSOCIATION SCHEDULE

CHICAGO. Ill., December. 30.--Bese bali
fans here believe that the deadlock In the
American Association will tie up the
schedule Of the organization and probably
prevent any games being played this season.
With the management In doubt and threats
Of court proceedings, no ci,tb will feel war
ranted in going to any expense.
The national commission may be able to
straighten out the tangie when it meets
here on January 9. but 1t is certain nothing
will be done in the way Of preparing for
the season until that time.
The ugly dispute between Owner Lennon
Of the st. Paul team and Mike Kelly, who
claims to own the club, has Qermeated the
entire league and the forces are evenly
aligned. Tebeau seems to have the whip
hand SO far in the fight. He has kept his
man O'Br1en in the presidents chair, but
with four clubs opposed to him It Is difacult
to see haw anything can be done except to
wait for some higher authority to set each
contender in its place and let business pro-
coed.
The row started when Lennon, as owner
of the ST. Paul team, sold Mike Kelly to the
st. Louis Americans. Kelly claimed he was
not under reserve to st. Paul The national
commission ruled that Lennon had right
to sell Kelly, but the latter refused to abide
by the decision and started a campaign to
dominate the association.

GOLF ASSOCIATION
TO CHANGE RULES

Amendments to the constitution of the
United States Golf Association are to be
presented at the annual meeting in New
York January 10. 1t is proposed that article
6, article 10 and article 10 should be
changed. The change in article is that
Hereafter the executive committee, in
stead of the president, shall name the nomi-
mating committee
To change article Ii, section 1. that
the annual dues of associate clubs shall be
reduced from 500 to $50.
To change article 16 so that the fiscal year
shall end November 30 instead of December
81.
The reduction of the dues of the asso-
ciate clubs was advanced last year, and
although there was a majority In favor of
the change, 1t was just short of the neces-
sary two-thirds ma ority. Advocates of the
change claim that the present dues tend
to a too close corporation, and also that the
reduction Is more commensurate with bene-
fits derived. Furthermore, 1t Is claimed
that the organization has In the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 to its credit, which Is a
disproportionate sum for an association
which has such comparatively small drain
on its purse.
Again, the advocates Of the change con-
tend that no championship can be held on
links which Is not controlled by an asso-
ciate member. In other words a club has
to pay 500 year for the privilege of hold
ing championship. This, it Is claimed,
can in no light be considered for the inter-
ests of the game, as a club might possess
the best course in the world, but because
or It's disinclination or inability to pay dues
OF slVo per annum an inferior links would
be selected
The change of the fiscal year is to enable
the treasurer time to have his accounts
ready for the annual meeting.

AS a school boy athlete Hafford has been
a wonder In 1902 1903 and 1901 he pitched
for Somerville High. He captained the
team in 1904 and not only pitched his team
to the championship but batted for 524.
