Beware of Frequent Colds.

A succession of colds or a pro-
tracted cold is almost certain to end
in chronic catarrh, from which few
persons ever wholly recover. Give
every cold the attention it deserves
and you may avoid this disagreeable
disease. How can you cure cold?

POPULAR APPROVAL OF THEFT.
English Writer Sees Significance In
Glorification of Robbers.

The idea of private property has
never been fully accepted by the
masses of the people, and never had
their cordial approval as I'M institu
ton. says a writer in the London
News. The most popular songs and
ballads of our nation in all ages, it
may be noted. have been those which
described sympathetically attacks on
private property, from the Robin Hood
cycle to the broadsheets in which
Turpin and Sheppard were made
heroes.
Even nowadays the literature that
really touches the people, the litera-
ture that the educated classes seldom
so much as see exposed for sale, the
literature that is sold in the small
general shop in the back street, and
costs fewer pennies than the novel we
know costs shillings, still very largely
deals with the romantic exploits of
the robber. He is never a villain; he
is noble and generous to a fault; but
he is convinced of the improperly of
persons having too much money.

But Few Convicted in United States

Criminal statistics that have re-
Gently been compiled show that the
United States leads the nations of the
world in the number of homicides per
capita, and that the percentage of con-
victions for murder is vastly lower
than in. any other country
The average number of murders in
the United States annually during the
past twenty years, from 1885 to 1904,
was 6,597. In 1896 the murders reached
the high water mark of 1862, and in
1895 there were 10,500. The percent
age of conviction was 1.3, whereas in
Germany the convictions equaled
ninety-five per cent.
The following table will show that in
other countries there is not the reluc-
tance on the part of juries to convict
for murder that there is in the United

AFTER HARTMAN
PRESIDENT WILL INVESTIGATE
MERGER CASES.
BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE
Will Forego Joys of Vacation in Order
to Get at Bottom of Magnate
Harriman's Intentions.

Washington.-Pre Roosevelt
proposes to take into his own hands
the determination as to whether an at
tempt shall be made to break up the
Hartman railroad combination or not.
and has come to the conclusion that it
is his duty to study the case from be-
ginning to end.
The President has been placed in
position of antagonism to Mr.. Harri-
man, and on that account he is particu-
larly desirous that no step should be
taken by any department of the gov
ernment in such a way as to leave the
impression that it was the result of
personal hostility on the part of the
President himself
To satisfy himself as to the exact sit
uation, the President proposes to read
All the testimony taken by the Inter
state Commerce Commission on this
subject. Then he will have a confer
ence with Attorney General Bonaparte
and will ask the head of the Depart
ment of Justice to apply to the facts
the President submits to him
the general law in the case, and partic-
ularly that laid down by the United
States Supreme Court in the Northern
Securities case.
All this will take time and it will in
volve an immense amount of personal
LABOR on the part of President Roose-
welt. He may have to give up good
deal of his vacation time, but it will be
done sooner or later, and when his de-
cision is made he will be satisfied with
it, because it will be the result of per-
sonal painstaking investigation, and
not the conclusion of a subordinate ar
rived at through partial or hurried
scrutiny.
This decision by President Roosevelt
to burden himself with the details of
an exhaustive inquiry into a subject
so vast that it is scarcely understood
even by the members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission itself, will, it
is believed, satisfy both the people and
the railroads.

ILL FROM OvERWORK
NERVOUS PRoSTaATioN CURED
BY DIR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
BY Tonins up the Blood and Nerves Pa
tient Recovered Weight, Strength

When the nervous system is broken
down from overwork, or whatever cause,
life loses its joys. Not only is the ner-
vous victim sufferer himself but he is
usually trial to the whole family.
Nervous breakdown is often gradual,
appearing at first to be merely an unu-
sual fretfulness. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills tone up the nerves in the most
direct way and not only cure minor
troubles but serious disorders as well

ment to work during warm weather.

continued using the pills until was

These pills actually make new blood
and have cured such diseases as rheu.
matism, nervous and general debility,
indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia
and even partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia. As tonic for the blood and
nerves they are unequalled.

der of tle blood and nerves write for
proof of what DIR. Williams Pink
Pills have accomplished in cases similar
to yours. Every testimonial used by
this company is carefully investigated
before being published and is authentic.

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great

Mrs. Eddy Files Answer.

Concord, N. H.-Through her self
appointed trustees, Mrs Eddy has
answered the charges that she is in

suit brought by members of her fam
lily.
The defendants, Alfred Farlow, Ira
o. Knapp, William d. Johnson,
Stephen A. Chase, Joseph Armstrong
and Edward A. Kimball in their an
swer to the bill of complaint deny
that Mrs. Eddy's mental faculties
are so impaired by the infirmities
of age, or otherwise, as to rem
der her incapable of managing
her affairs and protecting her
property against undue influence,
control or fraud of others, or that she
is incapable of taking charge and man
aging the present or any other legal
proceedings. They also deny she Is

else.
Allegations Are ScandaIous.
The defendants say that the allega-
tions in the bill of complaint are in
large part immaterial, scandalous and
irrelevant and that they ought not to

Posters In France.

French law gives the authorities
of every village and commune com
plete control over posters. No one
is permitted in France to deface
streets and public places with crude,
ostentatious announcements of his
business or other subject. Bill
boards are infrequent in Paris and
are generally built permanently
into a wall, where they are taxed
according to their superficial area.
When building is in construction
and board screens are erected to
shield the public from dust and
other annoyance such temporary
screens will soon be covered with
posters, but each poster so displayed
has been previously submitted to the
authorities, a license obtained, and
each sheet bears the Cancelled rev.
enue stamp, according to its size.
