Chronic Bronchitis.

Mrs. Clara l.. Miller, Box II, Columbi

"Nine bottles of Peruna cured me of a

no superior remedy that l know OF, as
the action Of Peruna on the vasa motor
system of nerves is very beneficial. II

SPOONERS MUST "RING OFF
Love Making by Phone Must Cease
During School Hours.

During School Hours.
Billing and cooling" between
young women school teachers of
Trenton, n. j., and their sweethearts
over the telephone wires must cease
at least during school hours. The
School authorities declare such con-
yersations are not seemly should
any one inadvertently break in on
the line; and also because the tele-
phones are for school business, and
not for "spooning"
The order has caused considerable
indignation among the five hundred
young schoolma ans of Trenton, n.
j., all of whom are positive in their
denials that they ever spoon either
on the telephone or elsewhere.
The incident which stirred up the
trouble occurred when Supervising
Principal Mackay, in trying to reach
one of the schools by telephone, in
terrupted a conversation made up
mostly Of endearing terms and gig
giles.
The girls voice declared that the
man on the other end of the wire was
the only onIiest' which Jared DR..
Mackays grammatical sense; and the
man promised the girl dozen kisses
duplicated hundred times.
DR.. Mackay hung up the receiver,
called a meeting of the school prin-
cipals and directed them to instruct
their teachers that love making"
over the telephone during school
hours would not be tolerated. The
school board will back up DR.. Mac
kay, if for no other reason than that
it is difficult to fill the places of
many of the teachers who are re-
signing to become brides.

BosToM.s GREAT AUTOMOBILE E
SHOW.

Many automobile owners and deal
ers in this vicinity have arranged TO
make trip to Boston during the pc
rlod between March Z and IA to visit
the great Boston Automobile Show in
Mechanics building The exhibition
will certainly be very attractive il the
present plans are carried out and
there Is no doubt but what they will
be. Exhibitors from all over the coun-
try have entered their cars and the
displays will be shown in such an at
tractlve form that visitors will al
most believe they are in Fairyland in.
stead of the Automobile exhibition.
Japanese decorations, Japanese lights
and electricity will form the base OF
the scheme OF decoration.
Boston dealers are noted for doing
nothing In a half-hearted manner and
visitors can be assured that the scene
will be one long to be remembered.

All the features that will prove very
attractive to the visitors have not
been published, but 1t might be men
toned that in the basement will be
found an automobile school In full
swing with 150 men at work. 1t will
be a practical demonstration by the
Y. NJ C. A. school OF Boston, a school
that has q national reputation. In
the same basement will be found a
model repair shop fitted out after the
prize design which was submitted to
the judges of the Automobile Dealers
association short time ago! Repair
men and manufacturers will take great
interest in these two features and no
doubt the shop and school will incul-
cate a desire to copy the worthy fea-
lures of both exhibits in the mind OF
the looker.on.
Throngs of fashionable people will
attend the show and several governors
from different states are to be in at
tendance. The sight of the great halls
completely filled with exhibitors and
moving throngs, and classic music
will prove to the automobile world at
large that Boston and New England
has not lost one iota of its interest in
automobiles.

explained that, in the issuance Of his
order to immigration officials respect
ing anarchists, it was his desire to in
sure definite cooperation of those
officials with the local authorities in
various cities.
"The law, as it stands today, is quite
ample to meet any emergency" said
the secretary. Criminals and known
anarchists now are excluded by the
immigration officials, and criminals
and anarchists OF foreign birth who
have been in this country less than

old, and William Stadlweiser, "a years
OF age, alleged anarchists, were ar
rested in connection with the attempt
ed assassination OF Chief OF Police
George M. shippy, in which Averbuch
was killed.
Both prisoners denied knowledge OF
the plans Of Lazarus Averbuch to kill
Shippy.
The arrest of Yaniatis, which took
place In the Ghetto district, was made
on information given to Asst. Chief of
Police Schuettler by investigators for
the White Hand society an organiza-
tion formed to combat the Black Hand.
Stadlwelser was taken in the street
because he was unable to give police
man a satisfactory account of himself.
At the police station heavy revolver
was found in his possession, and he
was held on charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons. Investigation of his
supposed connection with anarchistic
societies is in progress.
Detectives also arrested Gregory
Krish and Gayka Herburshak, said
by the police to be anarchists, While
being taken to the patrol box, Krish, it
is charged, drew revolver and at
tempted to shoot one Of the detectives.
The revolver was knocked from
Krish's hands. A knife was also found
in his possession.
A further search of the prisoners re.
suited in the finding of over 100 cart
ridges The men told the police that
their homes are in Milwaukee and that
they had been living here only few
days. The men refused to discuss the
finding Of the cartridges.

lowest figure since the Spanish evacu-

the receipts amounted to $1,576,56S.
The country merchants complain that
they have been compelled to curtail
their orders owing to the refusal Of
the Havana bankers to extend their
credits. There is disposition here to
attribute the situation to lack Of

State to Belgium, is attributed to his
dread of British intervention, backed

declared, would rather run the risk of
facing an international accounting of
his stewardship than the former con-
tingency.

at the attitude of Great Britain and

he displayed excessive coldness toward
