Heart to Heart Talk
With a Young Mother
CHILDREN SICK WITH ONE
DISEASE AFTER ANOTHER
ALL WINTER.
How to Avoid Catching Conta-
gious Diseases Something
Every Mother Should
Remember.

Good morning, Pm so glad to see you.
How are the children? What's the trouble
now? Seems like they have been sick all
winter. First scarlet fever, then diphtheria,
and now it is whooping cough. Well, you
have had your hands full to be sure, but do
you know believe you could have warded
of some of those diseases. Oh, mol I'm not
accusing you of neglecting your children;
you're too good mother to do that. I
know your new neighbors brought scarlet
fever, but don't you remember the hard
colds your children had Just when they came?
Now listen moment; that has had more to
do with it than you think. Your children
were then particularly susceptible to disease
germs. Eminent physicians now agree that
children would not be near so likely to take
scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough
or any Of the catching diseases if every cold
were doctored when it first makes It's appear
ance. You have noticed that when two
children are exposed to some contagious
disease at the same time often one Of them
will take it and the other will not. Well,
that is just the reason, one child had cold
and the other did not. never allow cold
to run twenty four hours without attention.
You say you don't have any confidence in
cough medicines? You have not used the
right one yet. Just try Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and you'll change your mind. OF
course you have heard of it. 1t has been on
the market for thirty five years. No, indeed,
it won't hurt the children. There is nothing
in it that will injure your little baby. Get
bottle of it while you are up town and you
will find that your children will not catch
everything that comes along.

MENTO. Jan. 27.-Jere Burke has
agreed to be good and attend, to his
own lobbying specialties and each and
every follower OF the machine is to be
very circumspect hereafter in his Ut
terances regarding woman suffrage, as
a result of clash between the Herrin
lieutenant and Mrs. Lillian Harris Cof-
I'm this morning. Suspecting that the
machine had been enthusiastically act
ing in direct opposition to the suf-
frage amendment, the leader OF the suf-
rragettes informed Herrin's man that
such course would result in war. and a
truce was Immediately agreed upon as
the machine had troubles enough OF its
own
The suffragette chief announced her
objections to Burke's interference.
Overtures for peace were advanced i'm
mediately. The situation. in view OF
the senate vote On the Sanford trans
portation amendment yesterday. was
critical for the railroad, as it is sadly
in need of friends. The interview end
ed by the establishment of cordial rela-
tions between the respective lobbies on
the condition that in the future the
machine would attend to its own busi-
ness
Senator Walter Price declined to sur
render to the suffragettes with the
alacrfty exhibited by Burke. Price
made public a letter addressed to the
equal suffrage organization in reply to
one asking his views on the subject of
allowing women to vote. in which he
aired his views IN a caustic manner.
1t was day of activity in the camp
of the suffragettes and also in that of
the enemy. for tomorrow the constitu-
tional amendment will be voted on in
the assembly, and the result is doubt
full. Both sides confidently assert an
assured victory Is theirs.

Bills Aimed at Fire Companies

OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 27.-Senator Gus Hart
man will again wage war on the fire
insurance commissioners. He will in
troduce tomorrow three bills to place
drastic restrictions on the companies
with a view to forcing them into
premium rate competition, and COM
pelling them to deposit securities with
the commissioner and to pay the full
loss if the total be not in excess of the
face of the policy or policies.
1t was in 1905 that Hartman first
tried to legislate against the fire in
surance committee.
The San Francisco senator still
thinks that the bill he introduced two
years ago to require each company to
deposit securities in the sum OF $780,
600 with the insurance commissioner
should become a law. He believes
that the companies, instead of keeping
their securities in New York or some
other eastern city, should be forced
to deposit part of them in the states
in which they do business.
Another of the bills which Hartman
is revising will meet with strong oppo-
sition at the hands of the Insurance
companies. 1t is the one that prohibits
them from contracting against pay
ment of the full face of the policy
or policies in case they do not exceed
the total loss.

The senate passed Boynton's bill af-

TO BEGIN
OPERATIONS SOON
Stone Now Being Crushed For
New Power House.
WORK ON LATTER WILL BEGIN
WHEN MATERIAL Is COLLECTED

President w. c. Whitner, Of the
Fredericksburg Power Co, has re
turned from New York. where he con
suited with Mr.. Gould in reference to
the various enterprises i'm connection
with the water power here.
Judge Alvin T. Embrey and Mr.
Whitner say that work will begin at
once looking towards early develop
ments. A force of hands have already
been started crushing stone TO be used
i'm the construction of the power house
This will require about 5000 yards Of
crushed stone and il is big undertake
ing to get IL I'm readiness.
Some Of the stone TO be used will be
taken from quarries on the old Forge
tract on the Stafford side of the river.
The company has purchased of h. Innis
Taylor the stone in his three quarries
on the SpOtsylvania side. The stone
when crushed will be brought down the
big canal on scows and unlOaded almost
at the power house site.
The ground will not be broken for the
power house until most Of the material
To be used can be gotten together, so
there will be as little delay as possible
in the construction after the work Of
building is commenced.
The site of the power house, as here
tofOre stated. is between Main street
and the river fork at the foot of Fac
tory street, which intersects with Main
street between the silk mill and the
pants factory Of the Melville Wooden
Co.
The new dam was completed some
time ago and is now in use. the old dam
having been abandoned.
The Offices Of the power company are
now in Judge Embrey's new law build
ing.
IL Will be gratifying TO our people To
know that these developments are pro-
crossing.
II is expected that the electric rail
road line will be extended from Ash
land to this city and perhaps on to
Washington as soon as the power house
H. completed.
