WHIskEY FOR COLDS
New Formula for Old Time Remedy
Cured Thousands Here
Last Winter

The increased use of whiskey for
colds is causing considerable discussion
among the medical fraternity. 1t is an
almost infallible cure when mixed with
certain other ingredients and taken
properly. The following formula is
wonderfully effective:
Mix two ounces of glycerine with
eight ounces of good whiskey and add
one-half ounce of Concentrated pine
compound. Take a teaspoonful or a
tablespoonful every four hours
Any good druggist can supply these
ingredients and will make the mixture
or it can be mixed at home.
Concentrated pine is special pine
product refined for medical use and
comes only in half ounce bottles. each
enclosed in a tin screw top case. which
is airtight to retain all the original
strength of the fluid, but be sure it
is labeled Concentrated"

INSURANCE WElCHER
MUST PAY 100000
Judgment Granted in Ninety
Cases Under Recent Supreme
Court Ruling
Stay of Thirty Days Granted in
Order to Clear Up Dispute
Over Time of Interest

Judgment for 100000 was handed
down in 80 insurance cases yesterday
by District Judge William Van Fleet
in the United States circuit court. The
judgment comes after the recent deci-
sion of the United States supreme
court, which held that the 'semicolon
clause, relative to earthquakes, and
written in the insurance policies. was
not valid and did not exempt the com
panies from meeting their losses in the
fire of 1906. At the time the higher
court reached the decision there were
more than 100 similar cases waiting
decision in the federal court and which
were virtually decided by the supreme
court ruling
There have been several contfnuances
granted in the insurance cases at the
request of Attorney Tom Van Ness.
representing the insurance company's
interest. Before judgment was passed
Attorney Van Ness asked for a con-
tinuance In 10 cases, claiming they did
not come under the Willard ruling.
These cases were continued until the
next term of the court. when they
will be tried by jury.
The time from which the interest
should be paid was next raised by the
defense 1t was the contention of
Attorney Van Ness that the amounts
awarded should not draw interest until
120 days after the fire. This contention
was based on the fact that a policy
holder is given so days after the fire
to file his claim and that the company
has 60 days thereafter in which to
settle. In giving judgment Judge Van
Fleet fixed the amount of interest at
Z per cent. commencing with August IS,
1906 An exception was taken to this
by the opposing counsel and a stay
of 80 days was granted by the court.

Managua. Nicaragua, Dec. 16.-
Telegraphic communication with
Rama was re-established today. 1t is
officially announced that the city has
not been taken by the government
troops. The two armies face each
other but no battle has been fought.
This disposes of the rumor which had
been given wide currency for three
days to the effect that an engagement
had occurred at Rama, during which
the government troops had defeated
the insurgents and captured Gen. Es-
trada, the head of rebellion. 1t is
believed that there was an Interior
motive behind this false report.
AS a sequel. to the recent rioting,
when the mayor Of Managua sought
to restrain the police from making
wholesale arrests, the mayor himself
was arrested yesterday. Subsequent
ly he was released.
Congress met again last night and
the session was the occasion of a pro-
Zelaya demonstration that apparent
ly had been made to order. Deputy
Manuel Matus delivered a lingo
speech, urging armed resistance in
the event. that United States marines
were landed at Corinto. The sugges-
tion was received with such demon
strative applause as to- arouse a
strong suspicion that the government
had organized an. efficient clique.

The Panama Canal Commis.
sion Was the Storm Cen
ter of the Debate

Washington, Dec. 16-Sttting until
after nightfall, the house buckled
down to business yesterday, passing
the Esch bill requiring railroads to
make full monthly reports to the in
terstate commerce commission of all
accidents and measure giving the
commission power to compel railroads
to provide uniform equipment for their
cars, and then took up for consider
alton the Mann. Panama canal bill on
which general debate was conclud-
ed before adjournment.
Considerable opposition developed to
section four of the Esch bill prohibit
ing the admission as evidence or the
use in any action for damages of the
reports furnished by the railroads or
the reports of the interstate COM
merce commission of investigations as
provided for in the measure. Chair
man Mann urged that it. be- allowed
to remain in the bill unamended in
to give the commission the benefit of
their fullest information of accidents.
Several amendments calculated to
modify or destroy the section were de-
feated. The bill becomes effective i'm
mediately.
i When the Panama canal bill was
reported by the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce, the house
Immediately resolved itself into the
committee of the whole for its con-
eideration. It's author, Representa-
tive Mann Ill.) explained its provi-
siOns. after which general debate was
begun.
The abolishment of the isthmian
canal commission and the centraliza-
tion of responsibility and authority
for the construction of the canal and
the government of the canal zone. un-
der the president. in director gener-
al. were bitterly opposed by several
representatives. 1t was contended
that congress had no power to dele
gate legislative or judicial authority
to the president and Representative
Harrison. IN. W charged that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had assumed the role
Of dictator" and usurped authority In
the canal zone he did not possess.
. Representative Olmstead, pa. rush.
ed to the ex-president's defense and
insisted that Mr.. Roosevelt had not
exceeded his authority. Mr.. Mann also
declared that in acts of congress and
in the treaty between the United
States and Panama would be found
justification for Mr.. Roosevelt's ac-
tiops.
The section Of the bill relating to
the judicial power on the zone, which
A. amended by the committee, confers
that power in one circuit court and
such inferior courts as the president
may constitute also was the object of
attack. Representative Sterling (nl.l
endeavored to show that there was
work enough for. the three circuit
Judges now on the zone and Repre-
sentative Parker IN. u chairman of
tha judiciary committee said he did
