PREVENTION OF DISEASE.
THE PRESIDENT BEGINS WAR ON
CONSUMPTION.

Washington, March 10.-A crusade
against the spread of tuberculosis
among the employees of the govern
ment service in Washington was di-
rected by President Roosevelt, who
issued an order to the heads of all de-
partments, giving them explicit in
structions as to their duties in COM
batting the disease. After referring to
the report of the committee appointed
by an executive order of December
Z, 1905, TO prepare a plan for the pre-
vention of tuberculosis in government
Offices and workshops. the order di-
reefs that the head of each executive
department in Washington shall see
that the printed rules prepared by the
committee shall be placed in each fed
eral building under his control; that
the names of persons in his depart
ment who are afflicted with tubercul-
osis be ascertained and a copy of the
rules be presented to each; that non
observance of the rules, at the direc-
ton of the department head, be con-
sidered just cause for a separation
from the service.

Whatever may be the fact as to many
OF the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some journals Of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been Of great interest in arousing needed
attention to this subject. 1t has, In q
considerable measure, resulted in the
most intelligent people avoiding such
pected Of containing the Injurious ingre-
dents complained OF. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, took time by the forelock," as 1t
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients of which his popular medi-
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against has medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots of
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths of our American forests and of
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases of diseases, becomes highly objec-
tionable from its tendency to produce
craving for stimulants, DR.. Pierce en-
ploys chemically pure, triple-refned
glycerine, which of itself is a valuable
remedy in many cases of chronic diseases,
being superior demulcent, antiseptic,
antiferment and supporting nutritive.
1t enhances tine curative action OF tho

chial, throat and lung affections attended
with severe coughs As will be seen from
the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover
Coe, of New York; Bartholow, of Jeffef
son Medical College, Phila. /; Scudder, Of
Cincinnati; Eilingwood, of Chicago
Hale, Of Chicago, and others, who stand
as leaders in their several schools of
practice, the foregoing agents are the
very best ingredients that DR.. Pierce
could have chosen to make up his IA
nous Discovery for the cure Of not
only bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, but also of chronic catarrh In all
its various forms wherever located.

No Typical Men In Parliament.

Mr.. Chamberlain once made speech
in which he laid down the the propo-
sition that every house of commons
in its personnel resembled all its
predecessors. Every house had its
funny man, its bore, its weigtl.y man,
its man of one idea. it's Independent
man, and the man who is a little
cracked. But the general election has
swept nearly all these typical men

TAFT TO SUPREME COURT.
President Will Appoint Him to the
Next Vacancy.

Washington, March 12.-The Post
says:
President Roosevelt has decided to
appoint William H. Taft, of Ohio, now
secretary of war, to the next vacancy

That vacancy Is to be created by
the voluntary retirement of Associate
Justice Henry B. Brown, who was ap-
pointed in 1890 by President Harrison,
from the state of Michigan.

provided it is during the administra-
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Taft will be

KELLY-suLLIvAN FIGHT.
Sullivan Saved Himself BY Strong
Finish.

Finish.
Los Angeles, March 12.-The fight
between Hugo Kelley of Chicago and
Jack c'Twin') Sullivan of Boston
was declared draw at the end OF
twenty rounds. Kelley had all the
better of the fight from the first to
the fifteenth round inclusive, and in
the fourth put Sullivan down for the
count. Kelley punished Sullivan con-
siderably in the early part of the fight,
and kept blood running from his nose
from the fourth to the twelfth round.
After the sixteenth round Sullivan
made a strong finish, outfighting kel-
ley and forcing him to hold in the
clinches in order to avoid punishment.
Sullivan's body blows during the last
five rounds had the effect of taking
considerable steam out of Kelly. and
he slowed up just when it seemed
that he had the fight won.
