BEWARE OF COLDS.
Health Officers Say They Are the Pri-
mary Cause of Consumption.

The ravages of the dread white
plague" have aroused in the national
health department the keenest alarm
and every effort is now being put
forth to prevent its further spread.
A prominent physician on the advisory
board recently summed up the situation
in very simple manner by declaring
that if people would give common colds
proper attention the increase of con-
sumption would be materially checked. A
neglected cold weakens the entire system
and especially the pulmonary organs and
renders them liable TO the attack of
the tubercle germ. He also gave the for
mula for a very simple remedy for colds
which he claimed if generally known
would prevent an enormous amount OF
suffering and eventually save many lives.
The formula is as follows:
Two ounces of glycerine; one half ounce
Concentrated oil of pine; half pint OF
good whisky; this is to be used in doses
of a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful ev-
cry four hours, the bottle shaken well
each time.
He claims this will cure any cough that
is durable and frequently break up
severe cold in "a hours.
He cautions that care should be taken
to get the real Concentrated oil of pine
which any first class drug store can
supply. 1t is put up in tin screw top
cases for dispensing, thus avoiding the
bulk oils and patent medicine limitations
frequently put out in wooden boxes and
which are insoluble and Injurious.

SALOONS WIDE OPEN.
Saloon Keepers Were Not Selling
Liquor But Collecting Accounts.

Girard, January ESPECIAL 1.-THE pro-
hibition status of Girard still continues,
despite rumors and more rumnrs. Yester-
day afternoon excitement was created by
the report that the saloons had re-opened.
and investigation showed that the doors
of a number of places were wide open,
but 1t developed that the proprietors
were simply there to collect accounts
from people who owed them, and not to
sell whisky No liquor was sold openly.

tigers.
So far no mandamus proceedings have
been brought against Judge of Probate
Benton to compel him to issue liquor IL
censes for Girard, although the judge
himself has confidently expected that
such a petition would be filed.

LICE DEPARTMENT IS HAVING
VERY QUIET PERIOD.

Bessemer, January 5-(Special) -Every
thing in the police department for the
past few days has been extremely quiet.
FROM New Years day until this morning
there was only one arrest made and
that was for a minor offense. Today
them were four, two negro women and
two negro men. One negro man was ar
rested for trying to conduct a walking
oarroom. 1t appears that he tipped some
OF his friends off that If they wanted
anything, all they had to do would be to
give him the high sign as they passed
along the street and he would arrange
to slip them half pint at the time. 1t
was only question of room with him.
He had the goods stored all around. but
he could only carry a certain amount
around with him. When he was taken
up to the Jail, several bottles of the old
time gin were found on him, in addi-
ton to a quantity of whisky. The other
negro was arrested for trying to steal a
suit of clothes, and the two negro women
were taken in for engaging in a plain old
every day fight. Mayor Rush will have
an unusually small crowd to face him
when court opens tomorrow, and this is
something very unusual for Monday as
1t is usually the case that there are be-
tween twenty-five and forty cases to be
tried on Monday morning.

The eII0rt OF the O1IIcefS OF the SAT-

of negro women certain white children
left with them to raise is creating the
most intense excitement among the cir

children are sought are out in cards in
which they assert that the children are
better cared for than in many homes,
that they pay for the board and insist
that they be let alone. 1t is said that
there are about eighty children whose

Some reform work has been accom-

Governor four years ago, but genuine re-
formation which was needed in the adj
mlnistration OF public affairs has been ac'
complished by the Republican State Of
Hclals chosen at the same election. IT
was In the machinery Of State government
where abuses and bad management had
reigned for years. that Republican officials
elected In 1904 found reforms most neces-
sary. and where they have accomplished

work Governor Folk had a Democratic

the reform hobby up the heights to the
golden gate, he hitched on the outside the
horse which carried him to cmincnce
