BREAKS A BAD COLD IN
JUST A VERY FEW HOURS.
Proves Quinine is Never Effective in
the Cure of a Severe Cold
Or the Grippe.

Nothing else that you can take will
break your cold or cpd grippe so
promptly as a dose Of Pape's Cold
Compound every two hours until
three consecutive doses are taken.
The most miserable neuralgia pain,
headache, dullness, head and nose
stuffed up, feverishness, sneezing, run
ming of the nose, sore throat, mucous
catarrhal discharges. soreness, stiff
ness. rheumatism pains, and other
distress begin to leave after the very
first dose.
Pape's Cold Compound is the result
of three years research at a cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars, and
contains no quinine. which we have
conclusively demonstrated Is not ef-
fective in the treatment OF colds or
grippe.
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 OF end Grippe misery
as promptly and without any other
assistance or bad after-effects as a 20

CLUE TO F|REBUGS
FOUND BY POLICE
Bundle of Peculiar Matches
Is Discovered Near
Burned Shed.

What the police believe may prove
a valuable clue in learning the identi-
ty of the incendiary who has been
setting fire to sheds and other build
ings in the northeast and southeast
sections of the city and keeping the
residents of that part of the District
In a state of excitement during the last
few weeks, was obtained today.
Near the two sheds in the rear OF
325 B street northeast, which were set
on fire Tuesday night, Policeman
Wheeler, OF the Ninth precinct, found
a bundle of matches Of a, peculiar
style seldom seen in this city. The
matches are as long as three Of the
ordinary kind, and nearly as large
around as a lead pencil. The prepra-
ton on the head makes a flame Hike
the red fire powder used on July 4,
and the matches burn with a big fiame
for nearly two minutes. -.
II is believed the, tncendiary has
been using this kind of match to set
fire to the places, and in his hurry to
get away after Tuesday night, dropped
them on the ground. The police are
making a canvass of all stores In an
effort to learn where the matches were
purchased. O..
While there were no incendiary blazes
last night, the department was called
out for a false alarm from the box at
Fourth and T streets northwest. g.

STOLEN GOOD LUCK

Miss Mary B. Adams Wishes
Mary Miller Would
Return 1t.

OF the $500 worth of jewelry stolen
from the home of Miss Mary B. Adams,
1874 New Hampshire avenue. by Mary
Miller, the pseudo maid, who disap-
peared after she had been employed at
the house only few hours, Miss Adams
regrets perhaps more than anything
else the loss Of the contents of a small
leather purse Of comparatively insignifi-
cant value.
Like most every>o one else IN the world,
Miss Adams says, she is just little
superstitious. She does not believe in
the thirteen hoodoo and other similar
superstitions, but she does believe con-
siderable significance is attached to GER
tain good-luck omens. The purse con-
tained her lucky pieces"
While of small intrinsic value, these
pieces were highly priced by Miss Ad-
ans and were kept in the Jewel case
with articles worth several times as
much. So when Mary Miller, said to
be the most accomplished and success

absconded with the jewelry she took
the leather purse.
In the purse was a key of peculiar
design, three rare old Chinese coins,
and miniature hunchback man carved
from ivory, all Of which Miss Adams

abroad. Most women wear a certain
flower for good luck" when they travel
by rail or water, but Miss Adams mas

took it with her always en- her travels.
Practically all OF the 10000 circulars
with a description OF the fugitive
maid" and a list of the stolen jewelry
have been sent out. AS yet the police
have obtained no trace of the woman.

NO MORE MILITARY
BUTTONS FOR M|LADY
War Department Rules They
Are Permanent Part of
Uniform.

No more can the brave National
Guardsman win warm spot in the
heart of milady by tearing a brass but
ton from over his manly chest and pre-
senting 1t to her on the end of a hat

Here's the reason: The bulletin Of mi
litia affairs, just issued, states that the
shining buttons cannot be dropped as
worn out. They, together with boot
laces and breeches laces, are considered
a permanent part Of the uniform and
must be reported when lost or rem
dered unserviceabIe.

1t is a queer elevator. There is
nothing about 1t that Is like any
other in the city. 1t is not designed
to carry dainty bits of femininity
from one floor to another, nor in
tended for duty as a moving van. 1t
is meant to carry great gobs of
money. Gold bullion or coins to the
weight OF 10000 pounds may be car
ried on 1t. The travelling distance of
the elevator when 1t goes from the
bottom of its shaft to it's top is 5 feet.
1t is available only for exchange Of

WOMEN ORGANIZE
FOR PAY INCREASE
If Director Ralph Does Not
Give 1t, Will Go to Con-
greSSmen.

Determined to obtain an increase in
pay, even though it should be necessary
to go over the head of their chief Of
hcer and carry their grievances to Con-
gress, women employees of the Bureau OF

bureau and for this additional service
they receive no pay.

better conditions, the women have the
support of some of the most prominent
union men in the city. Officers of the

gressmen in case Director Ralph does
not bring about a satisfactory adjust
ment. At the meeting last night Presi-
dent Milton Dnelling and Secretary
John Colpoys, of the Plate Printers
Union, and Charles Smith, editor, of the
Plate Printer, gave hearty Endorsement
to the move.
Besides the Typographical and Plate
Printers Unions others that were rep
resented last night were the Machin-
lists Union and the Central Labor
Union. The union formed by the women
last night is to be known as Federal
Labor Union. No. 1916. Officers have
