THE INAUGURATION.

The blizzard weather which prevailed
last night and all the morning, caused
many 10 this city to change their pro-
Rrammes materially concerning today q
movements, Many had intended to
take trains and others determined TO
avail themselves of the facilities offered
by tins steamer Queen Anne in order to
reach Washington in time to obtain
vantage points from which TO view the
parade. The binding snow and the
fierce northwest wind, however, caused
the larger number TO defer their trip
until 8 late hour, and the trains and
buat transported but few persons during
the morning. The approach TO the
Cameron street wharf wss through mud,
water and snow generally over shoe tops,
and the weird conditions on the river
made q picture suggestive Of Siberia
The trip to tae trsins was under coudi'
tions almost IS dismal, and upon land

FIRE THIS MORNING.

To add 10 the dismal conditions in
cjdeut TO the furious snow storm and
cold and high northwest wind prevailing
this morning. an alarm of FIRE was sound
ed At FIVE minutes to seven O'Clock. A

MEDICAL PRACTICE

It is generally conceded that the
practice of medicine has under
gone a radical change during the
last forty years and yet there is
much to learn.
DR.. Richard Cabot, of Boston, is
reaching out beyond the prescrip-
ton of poisonous drugs. He has
established general hospital with
q social service department. DR..
Cabot holds to the idea that man
is not only physical and material
animal, but that he is thinking
animal as well and that mind has
vital influence over the body and
is a powerful agency in the heal
ing of disease. The doctors are
awakening to the fact that man
has a soul as well as body and
that the whole man must be treat
ed.
DIR. Cabot has his trained nurses
who are skilled in the art of "sug-
gestion.' They enter into the
most friendly relations with the
patients; inspire them with hope
and lead them away from their
mental troubles. They urge their
patients not to talk and think
about their troubles, aches and
pains, but to turn their attention
to health and the brighter things
Of life: to refuse to yield to every
mood or feeling of discomfort and
especially just before going to
sleep at night impress upon the
sub-conscious mind that II will be
calm tomorrow, l will be patient
and fearless. and trusting"
DIR. Cabot established the $50
cial Service" department of his
hospital October, 1905. and is hav-
ing remarkable success with the
thousands of patients treated.

SAVE SOME MONEY

The moment man begins to
save, however little, he establishes
habit that would be the salvation
OF nine men out of ten that go to
destruction. When the habit of
saving becomes confirmed, the
man is safe and old age need not
be terror to him.
The man with nothing saved is
slave; anybody can own him.
The man that has saved is free
man. Make yourself free by saw
ing. The beginning of saving is
the end of debt. And debt and
extravaganza are the curses of
many of the best and ablest men:
debt is the enemy of children and
of women.
And one important thing: Save
for yourself, not for some shark
that watches you save and gets
your money When you have
saved, your savings are the chief
thing.
If you buy land which we al.
ways advise when it is bought fol
a home. near mans work-look
at it and study it yourself; don't
be deluded by the innumerable
land schemes that separate men
from their savings.
Use your will power and your
brain to get some money: use your
will power and your brain to keep
it. Begin at once-and good luck
keep us all.-Chicago Examiner
