LAKE BUSINESS SHOWS A GAIN.
Government Report Indicates Heavy
Movement of Freight.

Movement of Freight.
A bulletin issued by the Department OF
Commerce and Labor says that commerce
On the great lakes during April and the
first four months of 1906 exceeds that of
like periodh in any earlier year. For the
month of April shipments from all points
on the lakes amounted to 4,365, 800 net
tons, while for the year to April 80 they
aggregate 5,41S, 4S1, gain for the month
of 1,275,042 and for the four months of
1,592,656 net tons if compared with cor
responding mvements in 1905.
1t should be noted, however, says the
bulletin, that the unusually heavy west
bound movement of coal was probably in
some degree due to the storing of vast
quantities of this commodity at eastern
ports prior to the opening or the lakes, in
anticipation of a coal strike, while the
general movement of nearly all articles
of commerce may have been accelerated by
the fear of a general strike among steam
ship employees, of which there seemed to
be a probability during the entire month.
ments-wlHch for April, 1906, comprised
over 80 per cent of the total outbound
movements-the coal moved almost en-
tirely from east to west, while the move
ment of iron and copper was generally in
the opposite direction. OF the April coal
movement 39S, S39 tons were shipped from
Cleveland and 1882 from Buffalo.

A VindicatiOn for DR.. Pierce.
Decision by the Supreme Court Of the
State, Against the Ladies' Home
Journal.

A verdict has been rendered in
favor OF the plaintiff in the libel suit
brought against the Ladies' Home
Journal published by tina Curtis Pub
fishing Coz by the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association. Of which
DR.. r. " Pierce is president. The
suit was brought by Doctor Pierce
against the Curtis Publishing Co.,
for making false statements about one
of his standard family medicines
known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. In the May number of the
Ladies' Home Journal 5000, Mr.. Ed
ward Box. the editor, stated that DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tanned alcohol and some other harm
full ingredients, and DR.. Pierce had
In the action alleged that the defend
ant maliciously published this article
containing such false and defamatory
matter. DR.. Pierce further claimed
that no alcohol is or ever was con-
tanned in his "Favorite Prescription. !"
that said medicine was a vegetable
preparation and contained no dele
FERROUS ingredients whatever; that Mr..
Bok's statement, pretending to give
some of the ingredients of said medi-
cine, was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial, the Vice
President of the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association stated that the
ingredients of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription were extracted from the
following native roots: Golden Seal,
Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slipper, Black
Cohosh and Unicorn. by means of
pure glycerine. He was asked how
he knew, as a physician and ex-
perienced medical man, that the ga
vorite Prescription" was a cure for
the diseases peculiar to women, such
as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, ante
version retro-version, and he stated
that he knew such was the fact be-
cause of his professional experience
and the many thousands of women
whose Ills had been cured by this
Prescription" The Vice-President,
being asked to give his authorities,
read from the standard works, such
as the United States Dispensatory,
The American Dispensatory and many
other standard medical books.
The retraction printed by the Cur
tbs Publishing Company two months
after the libelous statement appeared
and nearly two months after the suit
had been begun stated definitely that
analyses had been made at their re
quest and that the "Favorite Prescrip
ton" did not contain either alcohol
opium or digitalis.

muddy and foggy that it was hard for
me to discharge my duties properly.

thickness is required?
8. Is it advisable to use cobble
stones in the trench level with the

4. How much material will be re-
quired?
L. To drain a foundation use tile
drains, having tiles laid outside of
walls and even the bottom of footings;
these will catch any surface or soak,
age water from running underneath
walls.
2. A cement wall one foot thick
with footing 6 inches thick and two
feet wide would be sufficient for
building mentioned above.
g. In building concrete walls, use
all the stone filters that can be
thoroughly bedded in concrete in the
footings and walls, but do not start

Off poisonous gases that distend the

with the action of the heart and lungs
These gases have other i'll effects. The

TO DETECT LEAK IN GAS PIps.

using WseS"
The folly of hunting for q leak In q
gas nine with a lighted match is not
SO much because of the danger OF an
explosion as of other damage, as IL
shown by the experience OF West
Philadelphia householder last week.
One or two small leaks were detected
by going over all the pipes ana hold
ing a lighted match to them. The
smell of gas ceased, but was replaced
few hours later by the smell Of
burning wood. Another visit to the
cellar showed a charred floor 1oist
little distance above a gas pipe. There
was no apparent cause for this until
very close examination discovered
that a tiny Jet of gas was issuing
from the pipe beneath the beam. It
was lighted, but was so small as to be
blue in color and nearly invisible. It
had been lighted by the match used
in the first investigation, but had not
been noticed.
eff that leak had happened to be
in lead joint instead of an iron con-
nection," said gas man, there
would probably have been work for
the fire department. The smallest
possible Jet of lighted gas Issuing
through lead will in time heat and
melt the lead and make the leak larg-
er, until big fame is issuing. This
may make fire hours later, In the
dead of night or at a time when no
one is in the house. The only prop
er way to look for these very small
leaks is to paint the suspected pipe
with smooth soap lather. Just as
In the case of bicycle tire, the TIM
