FIRM SUSPENDS
AFTER SUICIDE
DECEASED HAD BEEN SPECULATE
ING AND WAS CAUGHT SHORT
ON THE MARKET.

NEW YORK, April 29.-Following
the suicide last night of Charles Cos
ter, a prominent broker and society
man, the stock exchange firm of Cos
ter Knapp & Co. of which Coster was
a member, announced its suspension
today on the floor of the New York
Stock Exchange, The firm was a
prominent one and had done an ex-
tensive business. In an announce
ment given out at the time of the
suspension it was said that the action
was directly due to the death of Mr..
Coster. A formal statement issued
by member of the firm said:
owing to the death of Mr.. Coster
and the consequent condition of the
firms affairs, Il has been deemed adj
visable to make a general assignment
for the benefit of all creditors. This
step was taken at the suggestion of
most of the creditors and Mr.. Werner,
Df the law firm Of Simpson, Werner
e Cardoza. The assignee has already
started in to straighten out accounts
so as 10 be in a position to make
correct statement to all parties inter-
,sted as early as possible"
No intimation of the firms assets
n liabilities was given, and it was not
bought that anything like definite fig-
Tres could be given pending the COM
letion of the assignee's investigation.

VITAL BOXING POINTS

back and does not stop the blow you

one of the heaviest hitters among the
pugilists of his day, start a swing
from behind his back Gnstead OF at his
side) and send the blow around with
such terrific force that, missing his
man (who jumped back out of reach)
he whirled halfway about and fell
with a crash to the ground. merely
through the impetus of his own blow.
That is not boxing. 1t is not even
clever slugging. 1t is blind brute force.

chanced to land such swings went

ADJUNCT TO HOME.
In the Country, Where Physician Is
Not Available for Immediate
Call, Supply Of Drugs Is
Prime Requisite.

Keep your medicine closet in order.
In every household. especially in coun-
try homes. where doctors and drug
stores are far away. there should be
wet-supplied and well-kept medicine
closet. This should be locked or high
up out of reach of children.
Have everything labeled and plainly
marked, with the average dose writ en-
on it. Have drugs marked for exter
nal use" if used for that purpose only.
1t is through carelessness and lack of
plain marking that many cases of
poisoning have occurred.
1t is the custom now, however. for
all poisonous drugs to be put in blue
bottles so as to help prevent mistakes
of this kind. Labels all prepared to be
stuck. with mucilage on the back. can
be procured at drug stores or station
ers. and are very convenient for re
marking medicine bottles If they need
it.
II is good plan to go through your
medicine chest once or twice year
and empty out old prescriptions, as
they become stagnant and worthless
after several months-that is, some do
and they undergo changes from
standing.
Keep a few empty clean bottles in
your medicine closet and clean corks,
also keep some soft clean old linen
cloths for cut fingers. etc. Have a
few bandages of different widths. a
spoon and a medicine glass like a
small wine glass. only it is marked
