Why Colds are Dangerous

Because you have contracted ordinary colds
and recovered from them without treatment
Of any kind, do not for "A moment imagine
that colds are not dangerous. Every one
knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh
have their origin in common cold. Con
sumption is not caused by a cold. hut the cold
prepares the system for the reception and de
velopment of the germs that would have not
otherwise have found Judgment Ii is the
same with all infectious diseases. Diphtheria
scarlet fever, measles aud whoOping cough
are more likely Ia be contracted when the
child has cold. You will see from this that
more real danger turks in a cold than in any
other of the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way 10 cure cold is to take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The many re.
markable cures effected by this preparation
have made il a staple article of trade over a
large part of the world. For sale by the Ii

NOTED FEUD LEADER.

Side Lights on Tom coekriII, Who Was
Chief Spirit In 5rssthitt (Ky.) War.
Tom Cockrill, who was recently kill
ed by freight train at Louisville, Ky,
was for four years leader OF the Cock
rill faction In the Hargis- COckrill feud
In Breathltt county, Ky.
His death removes one Of the princi-
pals in the most costly feud In both
human life and money ever waged in
the mountains OF Kentucky, and he
was the only one on either side to die
within the last five years from a cause
"-her than bullet from the gun Of an
,e:ny.
Although less than thirty years old.
Tom Cockrill had for years been known
throughout the mountains as bad
Tom" sobriQuet he had earned
through his ability to pick a fight and
get out Of it with a whole skin while
his antagonist was usually found with
one or more bullet holes In him.
1t was the killing Of Ben Hargis, the
youngest Of the Hargls brothers, by
Tom COckrill In February. 1902, thai
brought on the feud that resulted In
the assassination Of Jim Cockrill, DR..
b. d. Cox and James B. Marcum, all
three prominent men and sympathi-
zers with the Cockrill faction, and
caused many more equally prominent
men who feared to reside In the feud
center to leave Jackson and Breathitt
counties.
In his fight with Ben Hargls Cock
rlll was shot four times. Through the
rest Of the troubles he was a man to
be reckoned with. Tall, spare. ever
alert, his sharp. steel blue eyes snap
ped fire whenever the enemies OF his
clan were about, and he had the repu-
tation OF being ready at the slightest
prOvocation TO flash his revolver

Eyes and Other Eyes.

Birds sight is probably not any
keener than mans, in spite of the ira
dition to the contrary. writes DR.. Ed
ward A. Ayers in Harper's Magazine
The simple fact is that birds flying
aloft are In clearer air, and their eyes
change focus much more rapidly. AS
for the eyes Of fish. those in clear
water can focus farthest, and all fish
can see nearly everything but their
dorsal fms. The baby founder has a
special trick with his eyes. which Is to
lift a submerged eye as he turns over
to the upper side. twisting his whole
skull in the doing. The eyes OF a
goose are bigger than its brain. As
for man. he has one eye function ap-
pertaining exclusively to himself.
which Is to weep.

DiSsustsd Harbor Engineer Surveys

Two swift motor boats have had all

DWELLING WITH NO WOOD D.
New Residence at Bosota, N. J., to
Contain Nothing aurnahIe.

Contain Nothing 6urnable.
A dwelling that is quite unlike any
other In the vicinity OF BOgota, N. J.,
Is now In course Of construction. II
has no wood about it-nothing that can
burn. Even the beams for the old
English ceiling are OF masonry. Ernest
A. Gibbons, a manufacturer of jersey
City, is the owner. II Is built on the
plan OF a country house on Walnut
Tree Farm, a country estate near his
birthplace In England, but the house
at BOgota Is made Of other materials
than wood.
Terra Gotta forms the body of the
building. 1t is In the form of hollow
blocks, Of the same kind used In the
skyscrapers Of New York city, fol-
floors and for covering the steel
frames. In the walls OF Mr.. Gibbons
home the blocks are laid end to end,
30 that the hollow spaces form con-
tinuOus chambers running up and
down. Tests proved that the bearing
strength was as great as that OF solid
brick walls. The air spaces inside
make the walls nonconductors Of heat
and moisture, with the result that the
house will be warm In winter. cool in
summer and dry ali the time.
In the floors the blocks are laid be-
tween concrete beams. The beams ex,
tend downward. giving In appearance
the same effects as the wooden beams
In the homestead on Walnut Tree
Farm. They are covered with smooth
cement. All the partitions are Of hol-
low tile, like the outside walls, so that
a fire could not spread from one room
to another. The roof is of green
tiles.
The main entrance to the house Is
upon a small courtyard almost invisible
to paSSersby. On the main street Is
q garden, two or three acres In ex-
tent, inclOSed by a wall. Altogether
the ground covers four acres, and
there Is a tennis court In one corner.
The house has three stories. In addI-
ton to the basement and contains
fourteen rooms. The cost Is estimated
at $4,000.

Speaker Cannon has confded
to one of the Democratic Men,
bers of the Committee on Agri-
culture his real reasons for re-
fusing to e-appoint Mr.. Gambler
of Mississippi to thatCommittee,
altho Hon. John Sharp Williams
strongly recommend the First
District Congressman for the as
signment. The Speaker has sud-
denly grown economical and one
the Govern ment Departments he
has marked for the practice of
stricter economy is the Depart
ment of agricultural. AS a mem
Der of that important Committee,
Mr.. Gambler has stood for liberal
expenditures along the lines that
led to the greatest good to the
farmers throughout the country.
In fact Mr.. Gamblers generous
ideas of helping the Agricultural
interests, caused Uncle Joe to
book as a man OF too extrava
CANT notions, and herein lies. &C.
cording to prominent democrat
of the House. the Speaker. rea-
son for not appointing him. To
the Democrat in question, who is
also Member of the Committee
of Agricultural, Speaker Cannon
gave the following subjects upon
which Mr.. Gambler entertained
very broad and liberal notions:
The appalachian forest reserve
project, increasing the govern
lnent's aid to Agricultural and
Mechanical Colleges, the buil6-
ing of good roads and the vida
distribution Of seeds. Speaker
Cannon is straight out against
the Appalachian Forest Reserve
proposition, although the Pres
ident has twice commended it to
Congress, and the Governors of
every State east of tsze Mississip.
Di. and south of the Potomac. and
the Representatives in Congress
from these states. favor it. The
Speaker is also against amplify-
ing the aid already being given
at the Governments expense in
the free distribution of seed, and
in encouraging ex p nta
work, notably in Agricultural and
Colleges. He say
that in the last four Or five years
the annul expenditures under the
Department of Agriculture have
grown outof all proportion to the
other Departments, and he had to
the committee on agri-
culture with view to keeping
appropriations for this branch of
within economical
Mr.. Gamblers fri
ends are umaninuos in the opin-
ion that he could have incurred
the prejudice of the Speaker of
the House of Representatives in
D worthier cause than the cham
plonship of the welfare of the
farmers of the country"
