PAxTINf BRINGS RELIEF
TO WEARfRS OF FALSE TEETH

There is no reason why your false
teeth should not be as comfortable and
as conducive to good health as the
teeth that originally grew in your
mouth. All you need do is to keep
them antiseptically clean with a little
Paxtine and water, at the same time
thoroughly washing out your mouth
with similar solution.
Paxtines is a pure white antiseptic
powder. Just a little in a glass of
water makes a delightful antiseptic
solution of extraordinary cleansing,
germicidal and deodorizing power
1t makes the teeth perfectly clean and
keeps the gums and tender mucous
membrane lining of the mouth and
throat in a healthy condition.
Paxtine has many other toilet uses
that make for the users greater health
and comfort. For any one of these
purposes it is worth many times the
cost to you.
Paxtine is sold in 25c and SOC boxes
and there is convincing proof of its
merits in one, box 1t is obtained at
ODonneIl, Peoples Pharmacy, Henry
Evans, Nine Best Drug Stores, Affleck,
S. Kann, Sons G. Co, and all other
druggists.

FILIPINO BANDIT
SENTENCED TO DIE
Slayer of Half a Hundred
Receives Doom With
s. Laugh.

MANILA, p. l., Jan. 3.-Wfth an ad-
mitted record of fifty murders. Filipe
Salvador, the notorious Luzon bandit
chieftain. today laughingly received
the sentence of death.
MANY have died before me. 1 can
die only once" he said, calmly, as he
rolled a cigarette and heard his doom
pronounced.
Salvador was captured in Mindanao,
after a twenty days running fight
by a detachment of United States
troops. During the continuous fight
ing, many tribesmen were slain and
many with rewards on their heads
captured by the United States SOL
diers.
One private killed and two wound
ed made up the losses of the soldiers.
The troopers returned here today.
One of the officers in command said
only the intense zeal with which his
men fought made it possible to end
the campaign so soon. The hatred of
the tribesmen was because the natives
had the head of a United States SOL
der, which they carried on pole as
q trophy. This was taken.

WAR GAME IS BEGUN
OFF ATLANTIC COAST
Scout Cruisers Steam Out to
Intercept" Battleship
Fleet.

When the fleet of swift scout cruisers
weighed anchor in Hampton Roads to-
day and steamed out to attempt to in
tercept the attacking fleet of battfeships
which is attacking the American coast,
the greatest war game in the history of
Uncle Sans navy began in earnest
Rear Admiral Schroeder directed the
great Atlantic feet Of battleships out OF
the English Channel hast Friday and out
OF communication with the world. At
the same time the Navy Department
instructed Rear Admiral Stanton to take
his scout cruisers and intercept the
enemy" His instructions were no more
definite than that. He may go about 1t
as he chooses.
No one knows the course taken by
Schroeder, and no one in Washington
knows by what means Stanton hopes to
cross his path. Both fleets are in ac-
ton Just as IL actual war were on. The
Navy Department is not interfering
with the rear admirals, and the Gov
ernment officials expect no news of
either feet until the game is over. The
battIeships are due at Guantanamo on
January 16.

roe, Va.
+, Until the airship is actually used in
hostile operations, he said, its effi-

realized. BY both the defense and the
offense it could be made to inform
swiftly and accurately where would he

point OF least resistance. Reconnais-
sance, complete and rapid, would be
easy, and could be prevented only by
the driving back OF the fleet of aero

Lieutenant Prosser says that there
would be but two means of re-
pelling aeroplanes-attacks In aero
planes and gun fire from the earth. The
first, he believes. will be the more sue

States Attorney Burke's Charge
OF Jack Pot Forces New Work
Upon Lorimer Committee
HANEcY oBJEeEs TO PLAN
Counsel For Blond Boss Brands
It Another Plot To Besmirch
Name OF Illinois Senator

n Chicago. Oct, 81 Members Of the
committee of United States Senators
investigating the Lorimer case de-
cided friday to enquire into acts OF
the Illinois Fish Commission, as a
result OF an argument precipitated
by the examination of States At
torney Burke of Sangamon county.
Mr. Burke testified that fishermen
throughout the Illinois valleys have
been accustomed for years to con-
tribute to fund to influence legis-
lation ct Springfield. The Sangamon
county prosecutor then named an
alleged specific instance of this
character and identified letter
which, he said, bore out this state
ment.
Attorney Henecy, of Mr.. Lorimer's
counsel, declared that the letter,
submitted by Burke, was directly
contrary to the witness testimony.
This stuff about the Illinois river
fishermen has absolutely no bearing
on the question of Mr. Lorimer's
election or on the question of the So
called jack pot" he said "and
protest.
cit appears to me the only pos
sible object in showing how much
money these riyermen raised during
that session of the Legislation is TO
unwarrahtIy besmirch Senator Lori-
mer's name"
Senator Dillingham;, chairman Of
the committee, ordered counsel to
make complete inquiry into the
origin and character of all fish bills
introduced during the 1909 Legisla-
tive assembly, with the object of
determining the truth Of charges
made by Burke.

ton filed by the American Tobacco

Interest in the argument conferred
in the appearance of Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham. He said he APP
proved generally of the plans but
made recommendation which made
protest on the part of the stock and
bond holders of the American To-
bacco Co.
Mr.. Wickersham insisted that the
court by injunction, to prevail from
three to five years, reserve to the
government the right to appeal to
the court at any time il should APP
pear that the dissolution of the trust
had not resulted in conditions in
harmony with the antitrust law.

tested against this amendment.
Characterizing the alliance of the
United Cigar Store Co. of the trust
as one of the sources for complaint
of the independent tobacco trade,
the attorney general urged that the
Stores Co be segregated through the
sale of its stock controlled by trust
holders outside investors.
Against Receivership

had sought to bring about plan
of reorganization without resort to
a receivership and in outlining the
governments attitude in trust prose-
cution, he quoted from President
Tafts message to Congress on the
subject. expressing desire to con-
serve the legitimate interest of prop
erty.
Concerning the division Of tobacco
brands near the proposed re-organiz-
alton, the attorney general found no
grounds for objections made by the
independent manufacturers.
