Pneumonia the Great Terror.

To-day pneumonia stands as the
most fearful danger to which the
American people are normally ex-
posed during the winter and spring
seasons. Statistics prepared by in.
surance actuaries furnish grewsome
exhibit OF the devastation wrought by
1t. Not only has 1t had more deaths
to its credit during the past winter
than consumption but 1t Is becoming
more virulent each year, while con-
sumption is Of less deadly effect as 1t
is being studied and climatically treat.
ed. Consumption is generally of slow
ef progress and its victims are given
time to seek remedial agencies. But
pneumonia attacks the vigorous as
we'll as the weak and 1t throttles in
days or hours. Against consumption
there are many remedies and regimens
to stay its progress. Bnt the victim of
pneumonia has little chance and II is
the very irony of fate that the stronger
one Is physically 'he quicker will he
succumb to its fatal attack.

BIRTH OF THE
AMERICAN FLAG
AN ADDRESS TO THE AMERI-
CAN PEOPLE.

Friday, the 14th of June, will be
theone hundredth anniversary of the
birth of the flag or the United States.
The flag was designed for nation
of thirteen colonies, stretched like q
belt along the Atlantic coast, made
up of less than three millions Of peo-
pie without common traditions or
language; drawn together only by
common danger from savages within,
and oppression from without, which
threatened their existence and liber-
ties. The flag now waves over a
great nation, extending from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Lakes; from
the Atlantic to beyond the Pacific
Sea: and inhabited by nearly ninety
millions Of people, who speak COM
mon language.
Our flag Is now-in form--the old
est flag of civilized nations. The
resolution by Congress for the adop-
tion of the Stars and Stripes on June
the 14th, 1777, was as follows: RE
solved that the flag of the United
States be thirteen stripes. alternate
red and white; that the Union be
thirteen stars, while in blue field
representing new constellation ]"
The design Of this flag Is credited to
George Washington, and In part was
taken from his family coat of arms.

The men of the Grand Army of

times and made vital the Declaration
of our fathers, call upon all who live
under the flag to recognize this day
by patriotic observances In schools
and--on the Sunday preceedlng--in
churches. TO this end, we suggest
that the Governor OF every State by
proclamation announce the day and
promote It's recognition; that the
press scatter this call-as seeds of
patriotism-broadcast over the land (.
Such recognition will nourish the
greatness Of our nation, inculcate
noble citizenship, the principles OF
civil Liberty. and be an object lesson

A FEW THINGS ABOUT WHISPERS
THAT ONLY TONsORIAL ARTISTS KNOW

| But the squirrel, he makes the bar
ber 90 some. When even the most
adept handler of the keen edge gets
through with two or three gentle
men, who are proud possessors OF
whiskers that are as stiff as broom
straws, .le looks like man who is
sadly in need of a change OF climate.
Usually, too, the man with stiff whis-
kers has tender face, and is mighty
particular. about the way his work is
done. If the razor happens to pull
"a little while the half-exhausted tom
serial gentleman is working it
through the network of bristles, the
shop is rent with series of howls
that sound like the final yelps of a
dying coyote. That is only one of
the numerous troubles of the Amer
lean barber. however. and he must
know how to keep his temper and
be patient.
Every up-to-date barber is equip
ped with a complete set of razors,"
said a prominent Marion whisker-
slasher one day this week. There's
one which is used on the boy who is
just starting to encourage his whisk-
ers to come out and take look at
the world. Then there is another
which we use on the man who has
whiskers of only medium tenacity,
and finally, there is the blade which
Is employed to knock down the
bristles of the squirrels" s
Another cause for wonder Is the
fact that the razor which does the
work for the squirrels is the best

NO ONE HAD THE HEART TO KILL
THE AGED FOWL, so TWO DID THE JOB

The men at the fire department en-
joyei big chicken dinner a couple
of Sundays ago. For years 1t has
been customary among the laddies to
pull of big spreads at frequent inter-
walls, the dishes varying from turtle
soup to fowls of all descriptions and
ages.
The dinner. which came of at the
Central station on this particular
Sunday, vas the first that had taken
place in months. The reasons for this
long continued inactivity are many,
the most Important being the fact
that the department was supposed to
be without a cook. In days gone by,
Deacon" Uline, who has since been
moved to the West End department
house, officiated in the culinary de-
partment and dished up viands that
made all of the guests jeer at the
thought of comparing Deacon's
spreads with the dainties offered at
Delmonicos and other noted restaur-
ants.
However, when George Kelly, for
mer member of the department, hap
pened into the station house one day
and presented Chief Mcfarland with
a fine, robust hen, the boys at once
decided that there should be one of
the old time spreads. Kelly informed
his former associates that the hen
had been !oafing around his premises
about fourteen years. but he was un-
able to state just what period she had
lived previous to becoming his prop

1t may not be known to the public
at large, but the average growth OF
whiskers is affected by the various
seasons. During the time that warm
weather prevails, @hiskers grow rap
idly, but during the cold weather
seasons they are not 50 thrifty.
This is information which may be
secured from any Marion barber Of
Experience. 1t is well-known fact
among wielders of the razor that dur
ing the summer months, when the
pores Of the skin yield copious flows
of perspiration, mans hair growth
takes on renewed vigor and it is then
that the barber shops enjoy big
increase in business. A great many
men who get shaved only twice a
week during the winter months, find
1t necessary to get their wh!skers
moved on an average of three times
a week when the broiling heat OF
summer gets in its work.
Here are a few more interesting
facts regarding the barbering trade.
which are probably known to a small
percentage of the laity. If you have
a display of whiskers that looks like
a bunch of brush in the backwods
region, you are known to the bar
bers as squirrel Rare indeed is
the barber who likes to start in
cleaning off the countenance of a be-
ing known as the squirrel. The
man with the razor would far rather
monkey with the tender features of a
High school student or teacher of a
female seminary. That class OF work
isn't nearly so trying on tie patience,
and then when the job Is through,
the barber is fresh and ready for
more of the same kind.

lerty. This, information impressed
Chief Mcfarland and his men with
THE belief that day or so wouldn't
be any too long to boil the fowl.
when 1t came to getting ready for
the meal 1t was found that not

enough to kill the hem They said
they are ready and willing to go
out and take chances at shuffling in

Does your back ache? Do you get up lame in the morning? Do you feel dull and tired? Does 1t hurt you to bend over, to lift anything, to get up from a chair? Do you have sudden "oatches," or stitches of pain in the back? Does a dull. throbbing ache settle in the small of your back and bother you day and night7 Do you sometimes feel that you simply can not straighten up?
 If you do have backache, be careful not to make the very common mistake of treating 1t as q muscular trouble.

Little Lois, whte-faced as mine at the the atre her black hair tousled and unkempt. her eyes shining almost with the bright ness of fever, declared all her heart to the gentle Alban and implored him for Gods sake to take her from London and this pitiful home.

 'If I could only speak Polish, Lois but you know I can't" he said Bread and salt that's about what I should get in your country-and perhaps be able to count the nails in the soles of my boots Whats the good of telling me all about it? I saw that your father was angry, but you people are always angry. And. little girl, he does his best for you. Never forget that-he would sooner lose any thing on earth than you.'
