SENATOR RRANDEGEE
 SPEAKS FOR NAVY YARD. Expected There Will Be a Determined Fight to Retain Some of the Yards.

The recommenda tions of Secretary Meyer to abolish eight navy yards and naval stations throughout the country has caused considerable surprise in Washington. and great deal of op- position to the plan will develop as soon as senators and representatives appreciate the full extent of the recom- mendattons. The New Londonn naval station is included in the list. The abolishing of the coaling station at this point would not mean very much, as there is but little business con- nected with this, but the doing away with the marine barracks would mean taking away from New London quite plant.
 Senator Brandegee has been in com munication with the secretary Of the navy to find out if the intention was to remove the marines from New Lon don, and ne was assured that it was. Senator BraEdegee called to the atten- tion Of the secretary the fact that con- gross has recently appropriated $20,000 for new buildings for the marines, on the recommendation of the marine corps. but the secretary did not change his mind on that account His idea is ka sa1l ths sassjiAa&sass and sa.-.a~ss~ s.i1

NO BETTER WAY TO
 BREAK 4 BAD COLD. Surely Cures the Most Severe Cold and Ends Grippe Misery in
 Just a Few Hours.

The most effective and harmless way to cure the Grippe or break se- were cold, either in the head. chest, back. stomach or limbs, is Q dose of Pape's Cold Compound every two hours until three consecutive doses are taken.
 You will distinctly feel the cold breaking and all grippe symptoms go- ing after the very first dose. It promptly relieves the most miserable reuralgia pains headache. dullness, head and nose stuffed up, feverishness, sneezing. sore throat, running of the nose, soreness, stiffness and rheumatic aching.
 Take this harmless Compound as directed, with the knowledge that there is no other medicine, made any where else in the world, which will cure your cold or end Grippe misery as promptly and without any other as- sistance or bad after effects as a 20 cent package of Pape's Cold Com pound, which any druggist in the world can supply.
 After three years research we have concIusively demonstrated that dui- nine is not effective in the treatment of colds or grippe.

NEW DEPARTURE
Selling Medicine at Half Price Under
 Guarantee of Cure.

After two months of remarkable sales. Utley & Jones' the enterprising druggists, say that their plan of sell ing at half price the regular 50 cent size of Dr. Towards specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsia, and guaranteeing to refund the money if 1t does not cure. has been the greatest success they have ever known.
 They have sold hundreds of bottles of the specific; and as yet have not had one returned, although they stand ready at any time to refund the money should any customer be dlssatls ed. This is the strongest testiu ouy that can be furnished to the great merit Of this medicine.
 Anyone suffering with dyspepsia, constipa tion, liver troubles, headaches. dizziness coated tongue. or the general tired feeling, caused by inactive liver and bowels or disordered digestion. should take advantage of Utley x Jones' new departure and buy a bottle of Dr. Towards specific at half price, with their personal guarantee to re- fund the money if it does not cure

 Senator Brandegee would not say just what he would do regarding the matter. He will undoubtedly confer with other senators affected by the recommendations, and it is expected there wil be a determined fight to re- tain at least some of the stations and yards. The whole question will, of course, come before the raval affairs committees of the senate and of the house, and from there will be fought out on the floors of the senate and the house.
