COLDS si';, s.!',.: !'ia i!,.,,.. 'i

It is a well-known fact that pull monary tuberculosis is so insidious in its workings that it's victims seldom
 realize their danger until after the dis
 ease has taken strong hold. Incipi- ent cases are frequently discovered in apparently insignificant colds.
 Colds. if neglected. often lead to seri- ous consequences. To break up a cold quickly there is nothing s0- effective as the simple mixture of two ounces of Glycerine and a half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure .with'eight ounces of pure Whisky. You can buy these in any good drug store, and easily mix them together in a large bottle. Shake we'll and take a teaspoonful ev cry four hours. It soothes and heals the irritation in the throat and bron- chial organs. relieves hoarseness, and will cure any cough that is curable.
 Because of its purity this mixture is far preferable to ordinary patent cough being free from chioroform or any other harmful or habit forming drug. The genuine Virgin Oil Of Pine pure is a combination of the active principles of pine and santal. album, prepared in the laboratories of the Leach, Chemical Co. of Cincinnati. O., who recommend it highly for any case of throat or bronchial trouble.

J. C. Denton, president and general manager of the Pay Car Mines com- pany of Bouse. came in from there yes terday and reports that things are moving along nicely at the mine. He has let contract to Harry Fuller and Billy Virden to sink the main shaft l50 feet deeper IL is now down fifty eight feet, SO at the completion of the contract it will be POS feet deep. and ought to show up pretty well what is under the ground at depth. The shaft will also be equipped at once with a 24-horsepower gasoline hoist and this with the two shifts now be- ing worked by the contractors will send the shaft down rapidly.
 The stock of the Pay Car Mines com pany was only offered about a week ago when the organization of it was completed, and about 50.000 shares have been sold in Bouse at cents. the buyers being business men of Bouse and some of them miners em- ployed by the company, who would rather have stock than money. Rouse is the headquarters of the company and it is decidedly pleasing that it has such good standing at home.
 The property, said Mir. Denton, looks better to him all the time and the company has no indebtedness to speak of except a long time payment of s5.- 900, whie is practically arranged for now That means that every dollar re-

.CAUsT|C CRITICISM
 OF SALOON ROW. IN AN ADDRESS BEFORE THE

A severe arraignment of what he termed a saloon row" was made yes- terday before the Woman's club by the Rev. Robert Fisher. pastor Of the Central Methodist church.
 He referred to this section of the city as filthy flock. congested from day till dark with a strange mixture Of buns and trunks" He said: ''I have beheld with indignation ladies blowing their way through this mass of evil smells. of half f-drunken men and idle obstructers of the sidewalk. l have seen them pushed aside, and their dresses dragged in approximations of tobacco. When walking with my own wife. I have longed to spoil the blear-eyed conferences of saloon products.
 ''I want you women to clean up saloon row. l want you to talk 1t to death. Call upon the city council and demand a competent police fOrce with nerve enough to say. Move on Go to the merchants there and say to them that you do not feel that your trade is worth much to them. since they permit their block to be thus infested. Let them take their choice between your trade and the bum parade"
 The meeting was under the direction of the department of civic-education. Mrs. Emory Rays presided in the ab- sence of Mrs. Frank Parker. the chair man of the department.

MARGINS WIPED OUT
 ON STOCK MARKET
The Cause of Heaviness Still Subject
 Of Conieeturs.

New York, Feb. S.-The stock mar ket showed some relief today from the stress of urgent liquidation which was so conspicuous yesterday. There was a wave of selling orders for execution when the market opened. which seemed to be an aftermath of yesterdays precipitate decline in prices. The declines served to ex- haust or diminish additional margins. and where calls were sent out over night they were not responded to. selling out of collateral being the consequence
 The news of the market was of the same nature as that of yesterday; that Is. puzzled conjecture as to the source and motives of the selling.
 Copper industrials were exception ally heavy. Nervousness manifested itself in a final break in prices which put Union Pacific. United States Steel. and Amalgamated Copper to the lowest price of the season.

Rich Young Man a Suicide.

Atlantic City.-Victor Foreman, d
young philadelphia, who fell heir to
$4,000 from the estate of his father,
committed suicide by dramatically
leaping from the steel pier here.
Hundreds of pleasure-seekers rushed
to the rails and watched the young
man as the waves engulfed him.
Foreman had been i'll since January
and possessed an insane mania to end
his life. Upon coming into his inheri-
lance one year ago the young man
came to Atlantic City and lived in
lavish style. He had a house and
retinue of servants, as we'll as fine
horses and carriages.
