THE MOTHERS PROBLEM
Of Raising Strong, Healthy Girls.

UT Raising strong, heaithy GiFis' A serious problem which presents it. self to every mother with girls to raise, in these days. The exigencies of school life. the hurry and routine of everyday duties, the artificial environment Of modern civilization, make it more difficult to raise strong, healthy girls than ever in the history of the world.
 Boys raise themselves. Give them room, give them liberty, ana they Will grow up healthy at least, without much worrying. But the girls present ser- ious problem.
 How many mothers there are who are worrying about their daughters. Ner- vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious appetites, bloodless, listless, constant anxiety to the mother. How shall she solve her problem? owhom shah she turn for help? Each case is more or less a study by itself, and cannot be solved by any general rule.
 This is the way one mother solved the problem. Mrs. Schopfer, 1920 Prescott Ave-, St. Louis, Mo-, in letter to Dr. Hartman, says: r'My daughter Alice, four years of age, was puny, sickly, ailing child since she was born. was always doctoring her. When we com menced to use Peruna she grew strong and we'll"
 Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss, ED. 5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, says: "Our little eight-year-old girl had bad cough, and was in general run down condition" She had several i doctors, who could give the child no re lief, and the mother no encouragement.
 Finally, she got bottle of Peruna and commenced giving it to the child, and it proved to be just what she needed. When she commenced taking Peruna the child had to be carried. Now the mother says she is playing around all the time.
 Her closing words were: "You have done a great deal for her. She is the only girl we have, and it meant lots to us to have her cured."
 These are samples of many letters which Dr. Hartman is receiving, com ing straight from the hearts of loving mothers. While the different schools of medicine are pickering and differing as to theories and remedies, Peruna goes right steadily on giving permanent relief. After all, it is cures that the people want. Theories are of little account.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April 29.- Harry P. Flannery was today formally placed under arrest by Sheriff w. P. Taylor of Marin county and Deputy Sheriff Martin late this evening on a warrant issued following the indict- ment, which was served upon the police commissioner as he lay in his bed at home.
 Doctors certificates were shown by Mrs. Flannery stating that the patient was still too weak to leave the room, and Sheriff Taylor announced that he would remain until Flannery recovered sufficiently to accompany him across the bay to San Rafael.
 Taylor had been in the house only a short time when he received word from his office that bond to the amount re- quired by the court had been filed. The sheriff satisfied himself as to the legal ity of the procedure and left Flannery 's home

That there are lot of ways of dis posing of lead dollar besides slip ping it to blind cripple was demon strated to local bartender last night, who brides himself on the fact that never before did he let a bogus iron man get by him. And the ease with which he fell for the gag and also the leaden simoleon is shame to relate.
 The barkeep in question was discus sing counterfeit money with crowd of live ones last night and he wasn't slow to advise the bunch that it would be like extracting elephants teeth with a hairpin to slip him anything in the way of bogus lucre. That anyone could palm off 6 lead dollar which one of the crowd exhibited was beyond his com prehension. Nothing to it, he would n t fall for bum shekel.
 It wasn t long until he with the lead dollar began dallying with a coin. An. other member of the gang promptly grabbed it. Naturally scuffe ensued, but the grabber held on to the coin and promptly invited everybody to have a drink on his friend s money.
 The barkeep kept an eye on that dol lar as he filled lem up. He wasn t go- ing to take an chances of losing the purchase price of the round of liquid refreshments. With cunning that would

Celestial Vagrant Is Making First Visit in Seventy
 five Years
SHOULD BE BETTER
 SEEN NEXT MONTH
Astronomers at Variance as to Possible Effect on
 the Earth

Halley's comet, that celestial wan derer which comes within the vision of the inhabitants of this terrestrial sphere once in seventyfve years is again well on its way toward the earth and has al ready been seen by people of this city who have taken pains to rise before daylight and search the heavens for the visitor.
 Haley s comet is now passing around the sun which is near one end of a giant ellipse which it follows. At the present time, according to the figures of astronomers who have tracked the comet to it's lair and learned it's habits generally, the strange visitor is now on its return trip toward the earth and from now on, it should become rapidly more distinct in the eastern sky.
 While at the present time one can faintly discern the comet in the eastern sky, near Venus, the morning star, shortly before dawn, good view of the visitor can hardly be obtained by the leverage individual until about the mid de of May, when it will have fallen be- hind the sun and allowed itself to be- come visible in the western sky, shortly after sunset.
 At this time the comet will be many millions of miles nearer the earth than at the present time and it will not only be visible to the naked eye, but will, in the opinion of those who have made a study of the visitor, be near enough to present a beautiful spectacle.
 It will not be visible for a single night, but for many weeks. When it | first becomes visible in the evening however, it will be on it's outward course and will gradually diminish in its ap parent size, as it recedes into space and finally disappear beyond the range of human vision, to reappear no more until the latter part of the present cen tury.

have done credit to Herlock Sholmes he conceived the idea that the origina owner of the dollar would make graf for it when it was laid down on the bar. Nothing like that. He would get the dollar first.
 An sure enough, when the gratuftous host laid down the dollar, its original owner dived after it like "pan player after a trey of spades. The boy behind the mahogany beat him to it mad with the speed of flock of Hal ley comets, the dollar disappeared ir the till.
 Somebody once made remark to the effect that the man who laughs last gets away with the biggest ha-ha. Well the barkeep laughed first, and it wasn t un' til some time later when one of the same gang asked for change for V spot and refused the bad dollar that the wise party with the white vest opened his think tank sufficiently to grasp the situation and discover the frameup.
 But he took the joke in good grace and forked over another round of wet stuff. It s cinch that he learned a few things about the art of disposing of spurious coin and it is highly prob able that the experience was worth all it cost him.

Correctives Show Quick In fluence in Easier Call
 Loan Rates
BULLS STRONG IN
 COTTON DEALINGS
Western Railroads to File Increase in Freight
 Tariffs

NEW YORK, April 29,-The stock market today felt the benefit of the corrective measures applied to the weak points of the situation. The effect of these measures was especially notable in the money market, where the call loan rate ran off to the lowest of the week, entrusted with the per cent rate yesterday, the highest since the first of the year. As today's loans on the stock exchange carry over until Monday, the rate represents the end of the month condition, the conflict with May settlements not being sufficient to keep the rate up.
 The cotton market settlement demon strated the strength of the bull posi- tion in cotton and emphasized the pre-. carious position of shorts in May cot. ton, position that does not leave the stock market free from some apprehen- sion of reflected disturbance.
 Estimates of the weeks currency movement showed a substantial inflow of cash from other points and cores. bonding relief from the drain of the weeks gold exports and sub-treasury operations. The sum of these with drawals has reached the imposing figure of $17, ,25S, 1000, but this promises to be reduced to the neighborhood of $1O,- 000,000 by the week s inflow from oth- CT points.
 Strong influence is felt from the re. port. that western raiiroads had ad- vised the interstate commerce eommis- slon that they would file schedules of increased freight rates Monday. March reports of some of the largest western systems, including the Union Pacific shows so heavy an expansion of operat- ing cost as to overbalance tho gains in gross earnings, and thus establish a materia. reduction in net earnings from March of last year.

pass through the tail of Halley's com ct. Alarm has been expressed in some quarters for the safety of the inhabi- tants of the earth at that time.
 The gaseous tail of the comet is known to contain cyanogen, the basis of the well known cyanic poisons, of which potassium cyanide is said to have figured in the Swope murder case, now on trial in Kansas City. If this gas existed in any great quantity in the caudal appendage of the celestial visi- tor, serious consequences might attend the passage of the earth through its diaphanous body. The tail is made up of gas of such extreme rarity, however, that the people of Globe may rest as- sured that the comet s visit will cause them no inconvenience.
 It is estimated that the entire tail of the comet which is millions of miles in length, could be easily packed in an ordinary room, so thin is it's texture. The chances of poisoning the people"of Globe by putting an ounce of carbolic acid in the lcity reservoir would be great compared with the danger of Gn- pleasant consequences surrounding the passage of the earth through the com ct s tail.
 It is more than likely that the exact time of this occurrence will not be known until some time afterwards, when astronomers figure out the time by the subsequent movements of the comet.
 In the past, particularly before the days of Edmund Haley, to whose dis coveries the comet owes it's name, the comet s visit was attended with gen eral reign of terror. The superstitious people of the ancient times invariably coupled the visit of the comet with disaster and in many cases, serious pan ics have been caused. With the advent of scientific astronomy, however, the real nature of Halley's comet became known and it is only among the unedu- cated classes that the visit of this tray eler is received with other than cordial ity.
 As to the chances of Halley's comet or any other celestial vagabond ever coming in contact with the earth, as- tronomers differ, this occurrence being estimated at from one in 100,000,000 to one in 300,000,000 or once in 4,OOO,OOO to once in l5,000,00 years. Of course the number of times comets have missed the earth are unknown and an accurate estimate of the chance of the earth being shattered by collision cannot be made. At the same time the possibility of such an occurrence is so slight that the people need feel no alarm from this SOnrce.

The farmers all over New England have formed a close organization and have agreed to withdraw their milk from the Boston market after tomorrow, when the win ter price agreements with the contrac- tors will expire.
 The farmer declares that on account of the cost of grain, the increased wages for help and other expenses he can no longer stand the customary summer reduction in the price of milk. In other words he demands that the winter rate must be maintained throughout the year and declares that unless the contractors agree to his terms Boston will stand good chance e of being so dry on May that her pe"- pie will have to drink the seawater.

STATEMENTS BY
 GAYNOR AND HEARST

 Gaynor's Statement

ton and without investigations.
 Gaynor's Statement
 For Gaynor, Robert Anderson, his private secretary, gave out the follow ing statement, made before the mayor had seen Hearst s statement.
 "The mayor was not required to sign the warrants at all. They were made out and signed by the controller and then by the chief clerk in the mayor $ office, under authority of the charter. Over 275,000 such drafts are signed in year and on some days over eleven hundred. The mayor never signed one. The Cohalon claim was for legal ser. vices in franchise tax suits. Several lawyers were paid, including Judge Al, ton B. Parker. The claim was audited and filed last November after much ev. idence was taken, and thereby became legal claim against the city. Mayor Gaynor never had anything to do with it.o
 Controller Prendergast gave out a statement in advance of Hearst 's sub in substance as follows:
 ''I told Mr. Mathewson (deputy con troller) that 1 had come to the conclu sion that the warrants, having passed through the controllers office, it would not be a proper thing for me to recall it, thus refecting upon the administra tion of my predecessor, unless there was some excellent reason why the war rant should not be paid; that the mere I fan+ hot tho in faX-or pt | Cohalon did not constitute any sucf reason, but l had made up my mind tc talk to the mayor about it. Referred to Gaynor "About l clock on New Year s day I called upon the mayor and told tho mayor just what I have described above 1 He asked me why Mayor Mcclellan haC taken the action he did I told him | did not know his reasons. He ther | asked me what the warrant represented and I told him my understanding wa that it was for services in connection with the disputed franchise tax cases l "He then said to me: We must bt very careful about paying large bill' to lawyers in these matters. The mayor IHtu Stlu' II DOu htu hoI tolu hl' about this, I suppose the matter would have gone right through the ordinary course.
 "I said: q presume that is wha would have happened:'
 "He then replied: It is very nic' of you to speak of this to me. Wha ought we to do about it?
 "I told him that if he wanted t return the warrant to the controller I office, l would be very glad to mak, a report to him upon it..
 Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for tn, Hearst interests, called at the control ler's office today and his visit raised the instant supposition that legal actiol might result from Mayor Gaynor' s ad dress. The district attorney said to night, however, that no steps looking toward such action had as yet beel taken through his office.
