THEY WILL REMEMBER.

The Tariff is about the only thing
on which our Democratic friends can
agree-and of course they can't ex-
actly agree on that, but they are will
ing to pretend they can if it promises
to get them back into office. And
Grover says it will do that. Nor will
the Republicans discourage them from
readopting the child. 1t surely ought
to be perfectly safe to trust the Amer
lean people to remember what has
happened every time the Democrats
have had a chance TO do partly or
altogether as they desire with the
Tariff.

COMMITS SUICIDE after
HEARING GRAPHOPHONE
Play Amt You Coming BaCkp"
PrecedeS Act In FATAL
ty Row."

Not five minutes after she put the
record of Amt You Coming Back to
Old New Hampshire, Mollie?" on the
graphophone, Emma Davis, twenty
seven years old an inmate of house
at 421 Eleventh street, Louisville was
found unconscious in a Morris chair
in the next room from the effects of
a dose of morphine taken with sui
cidal intent. She died in a few min
utes.
The Davis woman who lived in what
is now familiary known as Fatality
Row." committed the deed because
her lover, whose name is unknown,
had left her, and because, according
to the women of the house, her folks,
who lived in Birds Eye, Ind, had dis
covered the life that she was leading
The song probably reminded her for
chilly of her troubles. The body was
taken to John b. Ratterman's 1119
West Market street. The woman is
said to have sister in the city.
The house in which the woman
died is one of row which has at
tanned a similar reputation. Since
Clarence Sturgeon killed three men in
that neighborhood last June, half a
dozen others have yielded up their
lives in the same locality.

down his throat, he was thrown into

In the marvellous times of prosperi-
ty, brought about by return to the
protective tariff, under Republican
craftsmanship, no class has been ben
Gifted more than the wage Garner. 1t
is a fact not to be disputed, that
wages have increased more than any
thing else. Ask anyone, who employs
labor, whether or not this is true.
Ask the farmer, who only a few years
ago had no trouble in obtaining hands
at So to $12 per month, and he will
tell you that the same labor to-day
costs him SIS to $40. Ask the manu-
facturer of every article that goes to
make up family necessities, and he will
toll you that the wages of men who
labor TO turn out these articles, from
the raw material up, have increased
fifty per cent. in ten years. The day
has passed in this country, we hope,
when the demagogue can successfully
appeal to the prejudice of the intel
igent man of muscle, because the ar
ticle which his muscle creates has adj
Nanced in price, carrying with it an
advance in his wages greater than

MORTALITY REPORT
CONSUMPTION AND PNEUMONIA
HEAD DEATH LIST.
Statistics Show That the Greatest
Number Of Deaths From Luna
Trouble Occur In Winter.

The Bureau OF Census has published
report presenting mortality statistics
for the United States for the FIVE cal
endar years 1900 to 1904.
AS shown in the table, tuberculosis
of the lungs and pneumonia were by
far the leading causes Of death. The
greatest number of deaths from lung
trouble occur during the winter
months. Colds are so prolific OF lung
trouble that they should not be neg
lected Persons with weak lungs
should be especially careful.
A noted authority on lung trouble
advises that as soon as a cold Is con-
tracted the following simple treatment
should be given. The ingredients can
be purchased from any prescription
druggist at small cost and easily pre-
pared In your own home. 1t Is said to
be so effective that it will break up
cold in twenty-four hours and cure any
cough that is durable.
Take one-half ounce Virgin Oh Of
Pine (Pure), two ounces of Glycerine
and eight ounces OF good Whisky
Shake well and take in teaspoonful
doses every four hours
BE sure that the Virgin Oh OF Pine
(Pure) is In the original half-ounce
vials, which are put up expressly for
druggists to dispense. Each vial is Sc
curely sealed in round wooden case,
with engraved wrapper, with the name
Virgin Oil OF Pine (Pure)
teed under the Food and Drugs Act,
June 30. 1906, prepared only by Leach
Chemical Co, Cincinnati, O.--plainly
printed thereon. There are many rank
limitations OF Virgin OIL Of Pine (Pure)
which are put out under various
names, such as Concentrated Oil Of
Pine, Pine Balsam, etc Never accept
these as a substitute for the Pure Vir-
gin Oil at Pine, as they will invariably
produce nausea and never effect the
desired result.

hEREDITY IS NOT ALL.
Physicians Now Believe Less In Trans
mission Of Disease.

Medical men are coming round to
the view that 1t is the personal his
tory that is OF primary Importance, or,
In other words, that mans own man
ner Of life, his record OF health, and
bis circumstances should be more
carefully considered than the illnesses
that his ancestors died Of. DR.. Rabag-
liatl, a medical examiner for insurance
companies, who Is we'll known in the
profession which he adorns, and Of
high repute In the north OF England,
has devoted much thought to this
question Of heredity from life insur-
ance point OF view. In his opinion 1t
ia not so much disease that Is trans
mitted from one generation to an
other, but organization, or human
lty," as he expresses It, Any member
Of the human family may suffer from
any disease to which humanity Is sub
Iect, and when an individual so suffers
1t Is the cause OF the ailment that
must be inquired into. Exposure to
this or that set OF conditions brings
varying results. II the body Is exposed
to one set Of conditions 1t will take
