,; ;':;s ::s. SICKNESS

one reason so many people take cold during the winter months, according to a well-known authority, fs the hot. dry atmosphere indoors. due to imperfect heating. If we were as careful to keep the air in our rooms moist as we are to keep them warm. there would be less occasion for cough medicine than is now the case.
 Of all the so-cailed minor ills of the body, there is none the neglect Of which is so liable to result seriously as the common cold" The cough ir- ritates the mucous membrane of the throat, lungs and bronchial organs, leaving them sore and inviting attack from the countless germs of dread tu- berculosis which infect the air we breathe. s
 A simple. inexpensive cough medicine can be made by mixing two ounces of Glycerine, a half-ounc of Virgin oil of Pine compound pure and eight ounces of pure whiskey. Shake well, and take a teaspoonfui every four hours. It will break up a cold quickly and cure any cough that is curable. This formule Is frequently prescribed and Is highly recommended by the Leach Chemical Co, of Cincinnati. who prepare the genuine Virgin oil of Pine compound pure for dispensing through druggists- :

CAPTAIN SMITH IS WINNER
 OF IMpROMpTU MARATHON,

Police Captain Miles Smith is moro or less reticent concerning a Mara thon he and negro ran early Sum day morning; a Marathon the police oficer won, despite heavy hahdicap In. weight and lack of training. Sun day morning, while driving leisurely about Montgomery. Captain Smith es- pied a negro, known locally as Jack the Ripper" Jack was swearing viv- idly and the captain started after him, but was seen by his quarry before he reached him..
 This was the moment of starting Of the Narrator. The Ripper" goes bare footed and Is constructed anatomically on lines resembling the figure of a greyhound. while the captains figure conforms to every cherished and &C., cepted idea of policeman. All this heavy handicap availed the Ripper" not one whit. He was run to earth and captured. but not until he and his pursuer had run the course of many of Montgomery's streets and alleys.
 Captain Smith had the satisfaction of seeing his man fined s10 and costs by Recorder Fillmore Monday afternoon.

Negro Wanted as . Witness in Case Before the Supreme Court Was Convicted of
 Murder,

Four times Jim Powell has cheated the gallows; four times the date for his execution nas been set and each time 8 reprieve has granted him a few more weeks of life. Monday the fourth reprieve was authorized by Gov ernor Conner, pcstponing the date of the hanging from Dec. 10 to Jan. 22.
 Powell was sentenced to be hanged in July, having been convicted of the murder of . negro by the Jefferson Cir cult Court. Because he was needed as e witness for the State against @ me- gro supposed to have been his accom- plice in the murder, he was reprieved that he might appear in court. The reprieve was in effect from July un- til Aug. 6. On Aug. he was granted respite until Nov. IF.
 The case was postponed. and Nov. g he was reprieved until December 10. Monday fourth reprieve was entered until Jan. 22, because the case in which he appeared is pending in the Supreme Court on an appeal.

LET COMER PAY FOR IT.
OF REVENUE BOARD IN
 SIGN MATTER.
Hood's Petition for $500 to 0bliter- ate Liquor Advertisements is Turned Down-vsting
 Place Changed.

Sheriff Hoods petition to the Board of Revenue Monday for an appro- priation of $500 to erase the liquor advertising signs on buildings ali over Montgomery was met with an indignant retort.
 Let MT. Conner pay for it," said one member of the board and the body voted down the petition unanimously.
 The sheriffs quandary was caused by recent act of the Legislature. re- quiring that all signs of whatsoever description that indicated in any way the sale of liquor or beer in Alabama be removed. Accordingly the sher- If issued an edict to the owners of buildings which carried out the in- structions of the Legislature. The building owners. however, could not see the point and the sheriff as a last resort. called upon the Board of Rev enue.
 A petition from citizens of Capitol Heights to change the voting pre- cincts in Beat 20 was granted. The recent action of the Board of Revenue in changing the voting box of Beat 20 from Walkers store to the town hall at Capitol Heights, without mak- ing any changes in the precinct lines, made 1t more convenient fer the citf- zens in some parts of Capitol Heights to vote at Highland Park. According to the new arrangement they will vote at Capitol Heights.

flied it's action in recommending a maximum duty of IS francs with minimum of 12 francs per 22o pounds of cotton seed oil, the present rate for which is six francs. An exception is made in the case of oil used for making soap or alimentary fats. which are given maximum rate of francs and a minimum of 6 francs.
 This action was taken upon repre- sentatfons by the State Department that the maximum of IS and the min imum of 12 francs might be consid- cred undue discrimination against the United States.
 The modification adopted by the chamber does not seem to avoid this objection and the higher duties on this.

 to Lower Jurists.
 Washington, Dec. 6.-In emphatic language the Supreme Court of the United States today announced It's de- termination not to receive cases on certificate from lower courts until they have reached the proper stage for such certincation. This announcement was made in the two important cases of the Southern Pacific and of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Companies against the Interstate Commerce Commission. the former involving the right of the Commission to reduce rates and the latter the right of the railroad compa- nies to discriminate in the distribution of cars among coal mines.
 There was a disagreement in both cases in the courts below and evident anxiety to have the Supreme Court take them in hand in advance of their determination by the trial courts. The higher court decided that to do this would be equivalent to its assuming original Jurisdiction.
