WARNS PUBLIC AGAINST GRIP AND PNEUMONIA
DR.. Samuel G. Tracy Tells CT Precautions That Shou
Observed to Prevent These Diseases.

New York City.-The recent report
of the Health Board shows that dur
ing the one month there were 1902
deaths from pneumonia, many of
them beginning with influenza. In
addition to this there have been 1876
deaths from influenza without pneu-
monia.
1t seems a fitting time to say
word about the preventive treatment
of these fatal diseases. Here are
three suggestive rules laid down by
Dr.. Samuel G. Tracy:
/. Keep mouth, teeth, tonsils and
nose clean.
Q. Keep vital resistance of the
body up to the standard.
8. Breathe plenty of fresh air,
both in the house and out of it, but
protect the body from cold and
draughts by proper clothing.
1t is necessary to keep the mouth,
nose, tonsils, ETC., clean, because the
mucous membrane of these parts, es-
pecially the tonsils, is not infrequent-
ly the port Of entry of the germs of
several infectious diseases, as influ-
enza, pneumonia and acute rheuma-
tism. The little depressions in the
tonsils are favorite place for these
germs to lodge; when the tonsils are
inflamed and the vital resistance of
the body lowered from any cause,

COUNT BONIS FATHER DISCOURSES
ON The RIDICULOUS SAGAN BATTLE

Paris, France. - The De Sagan-
Castellane quarrel continues to excite
all aristocratic Paris. Clubmen crit
1cise Prince Helie de Sagan because
he has made French titled aristocracy
ridiculous in the eyes of the public
by appealing to an humble police
court for satisfaction instead of in
stantly challenging Count Boni de
Castellane, divorced husband of Anna
Gould, to duel, and the plain people
are chucklfng over the decadence of
an aristocracy which prefers settling
domestic scandals in a police court in
stead Of with swords and pistols on
the dueling field.
The Marquis de Castellane, father
of Count Boni, freely discussed the
quarrel, saying:
You ask me to give the exact re-
port of the violent encounter which
took place between my son and the
Prince de Sagan. This l do with all
the greater pleasure, as it gives me
the opportunity to rectify the false
accounts which got into some of the
newspapers.

these germs are taken into the sys-
tenn, circulated in the blood, and
multiply with great rapdity. To pre-
vent their development it is necessary
to antiseptically cleanse their breed
ing places and keep them clean, es-
pecially If one spends a considerable
time in the rooms of those who have
influenza or pneumonia. AS clean
ser would recommend a simple an
tiseptic alkaline wash. The follow
ing formula can be made at home or
at the druggists:
Powdered boracic acid, Is grains;
thymol, l grain; alcohol, ounce;
table salt, 20 grains; baking soda, 80
grains; essence wintergreen, tea
spoonfuls; glycerine, / tablespoonful;
distilled water, ounces.
Use the solution plain as a mouth
wash or gargle, and diluted one-half
with water it can be used as an anti
septic spray for the nose.
This solution should be used daily
after breakfast or at bedtime, and
oftener if much exposed. The prep
aration is not poisonous, and no harm
will come if little is swallowed.
In some cases | recommend the
use of peroxide of hydrogensto cleanse
the throat and mouth before the ap-
plication of the antiseptic alkaline So

THEY TOOK $4,000, 900 AWAY,
Figures on the Money Carried East in
the Steerages This Winter.

New York City.-According to the
North German Lloyd Line, which has
made careful computation based on
the figures of steamship agents,
money changers and railroad men,
more than $110,0OO,000 was taken
out of the United States by the immi-
grants who returned to their native
places last year The estimate is that
each of the 550,045 foreigners had
about $500 with him. To get away
this throng had to put up about $751;
100000 in railroad and steamship
transportation and other charges. AS
an Offset to millions that departed it
is noted that 1,364,688 aliens who
arrived last year brought with them,
according to the estimate of the
Commissioner-Gen of Immigra-
ton, about $27,293,760. Much of
this, however, was furnished to the
immigrants by relatives or friends in
the United States.
The impression among many of the
steamship agents is that the disturbed
Industrial conditions are aggravated
by the agitation incident to the COM
ing Presidential election. Preceding
a Presidential election more foreign
ers usually return home than in other
years.

St. Pierre de Chaillot, requiem mass

in-law, Nine. Anna Gould, and the
Prince de Sagan, which have been
afloat for the last six months.
Leaving the church ten minutes
before the requiem services were

him straight in the face, as If DELHI

that it deserved immediate correction,

minister it.. My son left church, and,

LYDIA. E. PINKH.AM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs Of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs Of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their PEI
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination Of drugs.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public
"For twelve years had been suffer.
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times !
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
/ followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Conn
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re.
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

BROOKLYN JOYFUL
OVER ITS TUNNEL
Celebration Of First Official Trip
Under the East River.
COST TEN MILLION DOLLARS
New Subway Expected to Relieve the
II Awful Bridge Crush - Under
River Trip Made in Four
Minutes.

MluCLSSs
Brooklyn, N. Brooklyn's cele-
bration Of the opening of the inter-
borough tunnel under the East River
from Bowling Green to Borough Hall
was the happiest day of merry
making the old city has ever had, not
even excepting the opening OF the
Brooklyn Bridge, May "a, 1884.
With the arrival Of a special train
from Manhattan with number of
city officials, headed by President Nc
Gowan, of the Board of Aldermen,
and President Coler, of Brooklyn, the
bell in Borough Hall began tolling
and the crowd flocked from every
quarter.
Flags were unfurled and steamers
sent from every window of the build
ings overlooking the square. Twenty.
thousand enthusiastic Brooklynites
gathered at the foot Of the broad
steps of Borough Hall, from which
speakers addressed the multitude.
The ceremonies of the formal OPEN
ing began at 11.30 o'clock a. M, when
Borough President Coler and a dele
cation Of the Brooklyn League took a
special train to Manhattan. This was
switched back at Wall Street. Presi-
dent of the Board of Aldermen Nc
Gowan and others representing the
city joined the party and became their
guests at the great demonstration
about the former City Hall of the
late city of Brooklyn.
The exercises were opened by an
invocation by the Rev. Father Ed
ward McCarty and closed with a bene-
diction by the Rev. DR.. Nehemiah
Boynton. Borough President Coler in
PRODUCED the speakers, who were Pres
ident MCGOWAN, ST. Clair McKelway,
former Senator Stephen M. Griswold.
the Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman and
Frank Bailey, vice-president of the
Title Guarantee and Trust Company.
Following the speeches there was a
luncheon at the Hamilton Club.
That Brooklyn expects great things
of the new subway that binds it
closer to New York was shown by the
enthusiasm. Every business house of
Importance and every public building
in the borough was appropriately dec
GRATED for the occasion. The Brook
Ign Board of Real Estate Brokers,
1000 strong, headed by band,
marched to the Borough Hall to show
their interest in the enterprise.
It is estimated that the subway tun-
mel can divert a maximum of 10000
passengers an hour from the bridge
route, which $4,000 now use in the
evening crush hour. Even if it di-
verts only 10000, it will materially
benefit the Brooklyn travelling public.
Intolerable conditions on the bridge
may soon be an unregretted memory.
The new tunnel cost $40, 700,
and is ninety-five feet below the bed
of the river. D The distance from the
Bowling Green (Manhattan) station
to the Borough Hall (Brooklyn) sta
ton is one and six-tenths miles and
the length of the river tubes is one
and quarter miles. There are two
tubes in the tunnel, one for eastern
travel and one for western travel.
