WASHINGTON, D. c., January o.
The coroner's inquest over the Terra
Gotta wreck OF Sunday night, December

grand jury Harry II. Hildebrand, eng-
neer OF the dead train, No. 2120;
Frank T. Hoftmier, conductor OF that

lust before the Jury retired to-day.
Charles w. Galloway. superintendent OF
the Baltimore and Ohio. was asked by the
coroner II he had heard all the testimony.
and he replied that he had. He was
asked II he could point out any rue
which ad been violated by any witness
in the case. Mr.. Galloway, replied:
"They lave all been violated-aIl the
rules relating to the movement OF trains.
Mr.. Galloway says that in his opinion the
engineer and conductor OF 212O. the dead
train. were equally responsible. He was
asked n he was surprised at the disclos-
,,re apparently showing laxity among the
operators regarding the rules governing
their positions.
He said: 81 am surprised at their dis
regard OF their trust. 1 can only say that
in operating a railroad you must de-
pend upon the fidelity and trustworthiness
of the employees. II they are lacking In
that. I know nothing that will compensate
for IT."
The verdict of the jury was that the
deaths were caused "by impact. due to
tho act of Operator William Dutrow, In
displaying am improper signal to the
crew of train 212o.' and directs that Dut-
row be held for the action of the grand
jury. 49,
The Jury also held for the grand jury
the others already mentioned as respon-
sible in a lesser degree for the deaths.
The Jury arraigned the block system on
tho baltimore and Ohio in not afording
satisfactory protection to the lives and
property OF its patrons, arraigned the
system of wages paid to presidents ana
signal men on the road and recommend
ed that all block signal stations be kept
open twenty-four hours q day and no
additional duties given the operators
aside from working the signals and at
tending to their Geographic duties.

ease germs. Two men may be exposed to the same disease germs,
and one take the disease and the other escape. The explanation is
simple. The body of the one was in a healthy condition and able
to ward off the germs; the others physical condition was SO weak
that it was unable to do so.
Every one is exposed to disease. At this season Of the year
every crowded train, street car and subway car contain many germs
of the different lung and throat diseases. Whether passengers
catch these diseases or not depends on their powers of resistance.
Improper diet and poor digestion have much to do with giving
disease a chance to gain a foothold.
Just now many cat heartily and on account OF the bad weather
do not take exercise enough to digest the food eaten. This lowers
the power of resistance. To overcome this you should take DUF-
FYS PURE NAL WHIsKEY regularly, as prescribed. 1t makes
digestion perfect and enables you to get all the nourishhnent out
OF the food YOU eat. Besides it builds up the nerve tissues, tones
I'D the heart and brings all the vital forces into action.
You should also obtain plenty OF fresh air for the lungs.
THOUGH our house be kept warm fresh air should be obtained from
open windows. Your sleeping rooms should always have plenty OF
pure air. Do not starve the lungs. and you will starve the cold.

TO CONTINUE FIGHT.
Mr.. Umlauf Keeps Promise He
Made to Council.


BY Introducing as an amendment to the
recently approved law requiring bar
rooms to close at midnight, Mr.. Jacob
Umlauf has taken a fresh grip and
avowed his determination to fight for
his ordinance practically as originally
presented. save as to the hour for closing
and as to the provision forbidding the
employment of inors
The amendment, instead of discrimf-
mating against aliens in the matter OF
granting license goes even further, and
requires that a s~aloon-keeper must be a
citizen. No nonresident of the State
could. unde: this provision, engage in
the business until he has resided in the
State two years and In the city at least
one year. This provision would exclude
aliens and also those who arc not quail
fled voters, whether American or foreign
born. The section forbidding women to
dispense drinks is practically the same
embraced in the ordinance originally Of
fered, but stricken out while under con-
sideration rather than imperil the entire
ordinance. Now that the ordinance has
been enacted into law, this danger is
20 longer to be feared, and the able
young member from Clay Ward has de-
termined to place the members of the
Council on record as to the provisions
affecting women and those not voters.
The question of the hour being settled,
this can no more come up at this time.
Mr.. Umlauf fairly and frankly served
notice on the Council at the time be con-
scented to strike out the provisions re-
ferred to that he proposed to mako a
fight for them later on. he has kept his
promise.

tabllshed for the field instruction of the
troops of the regular army.
Representative Hay. Of virginia. In
sisted tina the manoeuvres did not
amount to much. and said that 80 far as
the manoeuvres held in Virginia were
concerned. they were a farce. He con-
tended that the ~cncainpfnent was OF little

the opinion that they should not be held
oftener than once every two years.
Representative Hull, of Iowa. In charge
of the bill, said that the committee knew
that he did not approve the large ma

national guard received any benefit.

Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,

The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar to
itself. 1t Is neutral, not too sweet, n
has an agreeable, healthful quality that
never grows tiresome.
One OF the sources of rheumatism is
from Overlooking tho system with acid
material, the result of imperfect diges-
ton and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is abandoned
and Grape-Nuts Is taken regularly, di-
gestion Is made strong, the organs do
their work of building up good red blood
cells and OF carrying away the excess Of
disease-making material from the system.
The result is a certain and steady re-
turn to normal health and mental ac-
tivity, There's a reason.'' Read the
