st. Pierre de Chaillot, a requiem mass
was being said for Lady Errington,
who was aunt OF both Count Boni and
De Sagan. You are not in ignorance
of the rumors between my daughter
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
over he passed my son, and, looking
him straight in the face, as If DELHI
erately to provoke him, took his hat
and rammed it on his head, thus de-
flying all the rules of good taste, and,
as If to say, Monsieur. do not care a
hang for you The insult was such
that It deserved immediate correction,
and my son did not hesitate to ad-
minister it. My son left church, and,
following De Sagan, spat squarely in
his face, saying, Here is the New
Years gift which my children re-
quested me to give you!' On this the
Prince. who was armed with a stick,
attempted to strike the Count, but
my son Immediately parried the blow
and used his own stick effectively"

WARNS PUBLIC AGAINST GRIP AND PNEI
Dr. Samuel c. Tracy TeIIs Be
Observed to Prevent These Diseases

s.. New York City.-The recent report
of the Health Board shows that dur
Ing the one month there were 1909
deaths from pneumonia. many of
them beginning with. influenza. In
to this there have been 1876
deaths from Influenza without pneu-
monia -.
1t seems n fitting time to say a
word about the preventive treatment
of these fatal diseases. Here are
three suggestive rules laid down by
Dr. Samuel c.. Tracy:
l. Keep mouth, teeth, tonsils and
nose clean.
2. Keep vital resistance of the
body up to the. standard.
3. Breathe plenty of fresh air.

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 a favorite place for these
germs to lodge; when the tonsils are
infiamed and the vital resistance of
the body lowered from any cause,

COUNT BONTS FATHER DISCOURSES
ON THE RIDICULOUS SAGAN BATTLE

Paris, France. - The De Sagan-
Castellane quarrel continues to excite
all aristocratic Paris. Clubmen crit
icise 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
staDtly challenging Count Boni de
Castellape, divorced husband of Anna
Gould, to a duel, and the plain people
are chuckling over the decadence of
an arlstocracy which prefers settling
domestic scandals in 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 I do with all
the greater pleasure, as it gives me
the opportunity to rectify the false
accounts which got into some Of the
newspapers.

PersonnI Re,shnnsihilitr

In n consular report from Ger
many which was published some
months ago the statement was made
that not only in every wreck, col
lision or minor railroad accident
thoroughly investigated" in that
country, but that Invariably some
one is held responsible and punished
for the occurrence" except where
the proof is conclusive that human
vigilance and care could not have
averted It. IT is strange and per-
picking TO contrast this. condition
with the situation in this country.
Apart from the fact that as yet no
provision has been made for thorough
governmental investigation of acct
dents and for reports definitely fixing
responsibility, there is the graver cir
cumstance that no one here is ap-
parently In danger of punishment for
his share of responsibility for rail-
road accident. So far no one has
ever been convicted for negligence
causing a wreck, and the result of
recent trials is very significant, to
say the least.
The other day jury acquitted the
engineer, conductor and brakeman
who had been indicted for the Terra
Gotta, ID. c.. wreck of a year ago,
one OF the worst railroad disasters
in the history of such calamities
The evidence in regard to the signals
was conflicting, and the engineer
proved that he had worked extra
hours-of his own free willard
gone long without sleep Immediately
before the accident. Some twosweeks
ago New York court ordered a YER.
dict of acQuittal in the case of the
vice president and general manager
of the New York Central, who had
been indicted for negligence in con-
nection with the terrible. ;Woodlawn
wreck. No direct responsibility had
been traced to the defendants, who,
in the opinion Of the Judge, could
not be expected to knoSS the. exact
condition of every curve, switch, mile
of track, etc, on a great iine.-Chi-

these germs are taken into the sys-
TEN, 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 q clean
ser / would recommend a simple an
useptlc alkaline wash. The follow
ing formula can be made at home or
at the druggists:
Powdered boracic acid, is grains;
thymol, 1 grain; alcohol, l ounce;
table salt, 20 grains; baking soda, 80
grains; essence wintergreen, tea
spoonfuls; glycerine, tablespoonful;
distilled water, ounces.
Use the solution plain as q mouth
wash or gargle, and diluted one-half
whitewater 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 l recommend the
use of peroxide of hydrogen to cleanse
the throat and mouth before the ap-
plicatioR of the antiseptic alkaline So

Bradstreet's SAYS:

Financial affairs show further and

but the gain in trade and industry

as better than those of December,
and in some cases better than anticl-

of the week in dry goods lines are
of special interest. One Is the an-
nouncement of revised quotations Tor
prints and sheetings by leading

being of considerable volume. Anoth-
er item is that some converters who
have overbought gray goods are can

LYDIA E. PTNKHRM

Nature and q woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for wGGaan'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 remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
ciOus than any combination ofdrugs.
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 1 suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed il, and can truly say that
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
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,
twill do f0:acther suffering women.
