Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi.
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for a moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in &C ommon cold. Con,
sumption is not caused by a cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con-
tracted when the child has a cold. You
will see from this that more real dan.
ger turks in cold than in any other
of the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way to cure cold is to
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The many remarkable cures effected
by this preparation have made it a sta
pie article of trade over a large part Of
the world. For sale by Hays & Field

WOOD PRINCIPAL MATERIAL
IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

Great as the advance in fire-proof
construction has been during the last
ten years there has been no lct-up in
the use of lumber, and both architects
and builders find themselves so de-
pendent on wood toda that thev are
compelled to admit that the forests of
the country are likely to be the
chief source of building material for
many years TO come.
'The use of cement. terra Gotta.
brick and stone, with framework of
steel, will make il possible soon to do
away with wood eniirely,' is a re-
mark often heard. and. indeed, when
one stands Oh lower Broadway and
looks up at the towering skyscrapcrs,
the statement seems to contain much
truth. AS a matter of fact, however,
the popular idea that fire-proof ma
terials will do away with the need Of
using lumber in a comparatively few
years IN very erroneous one. All
OF the various fire-proof materials
going into the approved construction
or the more substantial buildings are
used in greater quantities now than
the world dreamed of a few years ago,
yet the heavy demand for lumber con-
Times.
That wood predominatcs is shown
by the annual building records. OF
the permits used for buildings erect
cd last year, approximately 81 pei
cent were constructed Of wood. and
the remaining 80 per cent of fire re-
sl>ting material. according to re.
port issued by the Geological survey
On operations in forty-urnc leading
cities of the country. These figures
are the most significant when it is
realized that they onl y represent the
building activities in the largest cl
ties: they do not take into account
the construction Of dwellings,. store,
and other buildings in the thousands
OF small cities and towns scattered
over and not included in the forty.
nine cities on which the reckoning is
made.
In towns and small cities wood is
usually the predomina!ing building
material and it is safe to say that if
the statistics had included figures fo,
all places Of whatever size. the per-
rcntagc of wooden construction would
have been much greater. These
figures, as a rule, are only for the cor
porate limits, and thr suburbs Of these
cities have each very large amounts to
be added. The cost, also, is relatively
higher in these cities than in towns
nearer the base OF the supply.

arccptanccs before the formal invita-

When the conservation movement
was started, specific information
about the actual state Of our rcsour-
ces was partly wanting, partly mac
ccSSlblc. Certain facts were broadly
known. IL was at least unuuesiionn-
bic that our resources had been waste

still be kept prrpctually useful by
right management. The first work
was [" get the facts, to show exact

would work. Without an inventory
of the resources which should show
the present condition Of the re-
sources and the way to develop them
to the best advantage, conservation
was in danger Of staying up in tho

But the work is now practically

KAISER AGREES TO BE GOOD
Will Conform to Constitutional Meth

angry tide OF popular feeling that
swept the empire from end to end,
Emperor William yielded to the ma
ton and promised henceforth to con-
form himself to constitutional meth.
eds of conducting the policies of Ger
many.
The climax to the public utterances
of the emperor was reached In an in
terview which he gave to an English
man and which was published in the
London Daily Telegraph on Oct. %.
AS the outcome of this the whole
country was aroused; the reichstag
endorsed the attitude of many of it's
prominent members when they de-
nounced the sovereign, and Chancel-
lor Won Buelow, while he attempted to
smooth away the affair, undertook to
communicate to his majesty straight
forward and unvarnished statement of
how the German people viewed his
intervention in affairs of state.
The interview between the emperor
and the imperial chancellor took place
at the new palace in Potsdam and at
its conclusion the emperor made for
NAL promise to his people that in the
future he would not act except through
the chancellor and his associate min
listers.

NINE DIE IN THE ATTEMPT
convicts Fire Alabama Mine in Effort
to Escape.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 1S.-Fifty
state convicts employed in the mines
at Pratt City formed a conspiracy to
set No. 3 mine afire and escape during
the confusion. and as a result eight
of them are burned to death, one is
missing and the other forty-one are
safely locked in the stockade. The
last body has been taken out.
A lot of timber lying in the manway
was ignited and the convicts hoped
when attention had been attracted
to the flames they could make their
way through the mine ahead of the
smoke and fumes from the fire, and
escape by the main entry. In this
they miscalculated, for nine appear
to have been suffocated. The others
appeared to be meeting with success
when the mine officials suspected
something. One employee saw the
flames burst out. Making his way to
the outside, he informed oshers.
Guards were at once placed. and the
forty men were caught as they came
from the main entrance.

JUSTICE is SWIFT
Prominent Chicagoan Sent to
Prison for Forgery.
PLEADS GUILTY TO CHARGE
Sentence Passed Within -Four
- Hours After Arrest.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Peter Van Wis
singer, real estate dealer for years
classed among the first of Chicago's
prosperous and reputable business
men, has confessed to having obtained
through forged deeds and notes more
than 100000, and a few hours after
his arrest, on his own urgent appeal
to be punished, was sentenced to the
penitentiary. The arrest, the indict.
ment, the confession, and the sentence
were the work of less than four hours.
Taken in the midst of business from
bis ONCE desk at III Washington
street shortly after the noon hour,
Van Vlissingen, a venerable looking
man, appeared before the court and
in tears confessed that for from eigh-
teen to twenty years he had been Sc
curing money through the sale Of
forged documents and that though he
had bought back many of these spu-
rious instruments without detection at
least twenty-five people would lose an
aggregate of more than 100000
through the paper which he has not
yet redeemed.
In forging notes, he declared, he had
perfected a unique device. This con-
sisted of a plate glass desk top, so
arranged that by an electric light
thrown up from beneath he could read
fly trace from originals forged sigma
lures onto worthless paper.
Throughout his arrest and sentence
the prisoner made no effort to defend
himself, but only asked that his pun
ishment be speedy. Asked IL he had
anything to say before sentence was
imposed, Van Vlissingen, bowling his
head, replied: "Only that be given
my punishment at once"
Ills term In the penitentiary was
fixed as indeterminate from one to
fourteen years.

Government Alleges Use Of Dis
honest Methods.

New York, Nov. 17.-That the Unit.
ed States government has been de-
frauded out of millions of dollars by
the sugar trust is the allegation in
suits brought by United States Dis
trict Attorney Henry L. Stimson
against the mother OF trusts"
Papers have been fled In seven
separate actions In the United States
circuit court, In which It is sought to
recover s3,600,o00. OF this sum ST..
100000 is alleged to be duties on Inn
ported sugar fraudulently withheld
from the government by the American
Sugar Refining company.
The balance of $2,100,0oo is the val
le Of goods upon which duties were
likewise fraudulently withheld during
the past three years, it is claimed, by
the same corporation. II also includes
the duties on such goods.
Manipulation of the scales is the
method alleged to have been used by
the trust to escape payment of full
duties.
Further investigation is expected to
prove that the $3,6O0,O00 sued for is
emily a percentage of what is due the
government.
