Homer is said to have nodded, and

MOT the Least Injury Resulted.
cuticura Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.

A New York friend of Cuticura
writes:
MY three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on trip across
the Atlantic. investigated the state
room and located a box of graham
crackers and box of Cuticura Oint-

the box, it was found empty and the
kid admitted that he had eaten the

the crackers. 1t cured him of a bad

tube is innamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when IL Is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result and unless the Inflammation be
taken out and this tube restored TO its normal cond

out OF ten are caused by Catarrh. which Is nothing

BISHOP FALL0WS DECLARES
SOLDIERS ARE YET HEROES
Noted PreIate Does Not Agree with
Peace Congress and Would
Delay Disarmament

CHICAGO, May 10.-Bishop Fallows
is not in complete accord with the SEN
timents of the recent peace congress
and upholds the views expressed by
Gen. Grant at the closing banquet.
1.-THE soldier, as Gen. Frederick ID.
Grant has stated" said Bishop Fallows,
''does not originate war He may be the
most strenuous advocate of peace. The
cause of universal peace will not be ad-
vanced by deriding the soldiers brav-
cry. All the world loves a hero and
will continue to love him.
General disarmament is consum-
nation devoutly to be wished, but 1t
would be suicide for any one nation to
disarm while the other nations are null
tiplying the ornaments of war 1t may
be a paradox for the United States to
multiply ships of war and coast de-
lenses while it's mission is clearly to
bring peace to the world, but the para
dox is no greater than that contained
in the words of Christ.
1--WE are ready as people to take
the lead in disarmament, but until the
nations are ready to follow we will
have navy that will proportionately
match that of any other power on the
globe"

PROTESTANT WORSHIP
IN SPAIN RESTRICTED
NON-CATHOLICS OPPRESSED,
DECLARES REPORT
Investigation of Former Minister Coll
Iier Reveals Disadvantages Under
Which Reformed Churches
Are Conducted

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The re-
strictions under which non-Catholic re-
ligious denominations must worship
in Spain has been made the subject of
an investigation by the state depart
ment.
The report of former Minister Collier
in 1906 was today made public.
BY authority of the constitutional
provision that no other ceremonies nor
manifestations of religious worship
shall be permitted in public except
those of the Catholic religion, a cross
or other emblem of religion is never
permitted to be erected upon Prot
estant edifice, says Mr.. Collier.
He stated that within the last few
years when a cross was erected upon
a church at Barcelona, the king HIM
self wrote a letter which resulted in
the cross being removed.
Generally the door of a Protestant
church is permitted to open upon a
public street, said Mr.. Collier, although
it is not allowed during service to re-
main open SO as to attract attention
to the worship Distinctly ecclesiasti-
cal architecture calculated to proclaim
the building as the seat of a form of
worship is not allowed.
The minister said there was more toll
Grafton shown toward Protestant wor-
ship at the date when he reported than
there had been fifteen or twenty years
before.

DEMOCRAT SELECTED
FOR FEDERAL BENCH
PRESIDENT IGNORES PARTY IN
NORTH CAROLINA
Executive Also Sends to Senate Nomi'
nation for Marshal of Second
Alaska Division After With
draWal of Protest

WASHINGTON, May 10.-President
Taft sent to the senate today the nomi-
nation of Henry Groves Conner, a
Democrat. to be United States judge
for the Eastern district of North Caro-
lima.
The vacancy on the North Carolina
bench caused by the death of Justice
Thomas r. Purcell had existed Iol
some months, and has been a source
of much concern to PRESIDENT 1alC'
The contest for the place has been a
bitter one, and the Republicans OF the
Fla stern district of North Carolina re-
Gently urged the president to appoint q
Democrat even if he had to go out OF
the district to find suitable Repuoh-
can for the place. Judge Conner was
for about ten years on the bench OF
the supreme court of North Carolina
and for q number of years before that
was a judge of the superior courts
Judge Conner is described as being a
man of liberal views politically and is
chosen in spite of his long animation
with the Democracy.
The president also sent to the senate
the nomination of Thomas Cedar Pow
ell to be marshal of the Second division
of Alaska.
Mr.. Powell already has served one
term as marshal at Nome, having been
appointed from Oregon by President
Roosevelt at the instance of former
Senator Fulton.
Mr.. Powell was nominated some
weeks ago, but his name was with
drawn from the senate at the request
of Senator Bourne of Oregon. All pro-
test has been withdrawn, however, and
the nomination has again been sent In

TELLS HOW TO WAGE WAR
AGAINST FATAL HOUSE FLY
Health Commission of Chicago Gives
Suggestions to Housekeepers.
Sounds Timely Warming

CHICAGO, May 10.-It is time to
begin the fight on flies. Health Com
missioner Evans has sounded the warn
ing in his weekly bulletin on Chicago S
health.
Death turks on the feet and wings
of the innocent-looking house fly he
says, and science must come to the aid
of the people to fight the diseases
which travel from sick rooms to the
cribs of babies on these flies.
In the war on the fly the report pre-
scribes the best deaths for the insects.
1t gives the formula for a poison that
will kill the flies and not endanger life.
A dram of bichromate of potash dis
solved in two ounces of water and
sweetened is the cheap and effective
method of encouraging the flies to kill
themselves.
There are other sanitary regulations
that the health report says ought to
be exercised.
Here are some of the ways suggest
ed: Screen your windows and doors
before fly time; screen all food, and
especially milk; keep flies away from
the sick, especially those ill with con-
tagious diseases. Kill every fly that
enters the sick room; catch the flies
with sticky fly paper, traps and liquid
poisons.
He also says housekeepers should
eliminate the breeding places of flies
this is important. The following
should be done: Sprinkle chloride of
lime or kerosene over contents of gar
bage boxes and other refuse; keep
garbage receptacles tightly covered
clean the cans daily; clean the boxes
every week; pour kerosene into the
drains; keep sewage system in good
order

has elapsed since Surgeon B. L. Wright

tuberculosis at the naval hospital al

treatment-the surgeons own discoV-
cry.
During that time statistics of the

took mercury treatment and none TOOK
routine treatment solely.
of the fatal cases 81 per cent TOOK
the mercury treatment and 6S per cent
took the routine treatment only.
From this favorable showing sur

mercury be adopted as the regular
treatment for tuberculosis at Las Ami
mas, making it compulsory at the dis
erection of the hospital staff.
Of the 127 tuberculosis patients at
the hospital at present ninety-two are
voluntarily taking the mercurial treat
