PNEUMONIA Turks
IN FLOWING BOWL
Don't Drink, buff You
Do, Be Careful.

Friend, if you desire long life and
wish TO keep immune from pneumonia,
leave liquor alone" This is the advice
which the District health department
offers in its weekly report The health
sharps announce that pneumonia and
other diseases of the respiratory system
undoubtedly will lead the mortality list
from now until spring. and suggest as
means Of immunity from suchN diseases
that the. people of the District avoid all
excuses, especially in the use of intoxi-'
Cants.
Exposure to the cold after indulging
freely in the flowing bowl produces sud
den COMPOSITIONS of the respiratory Or
gans, says Health Officer Woodward, and
thus is created a fertile soil for the de-
velopment of pneumonia germs. Don't
drink to excess this winter, but if the
temptation is really too great, and you
indulge too freely, why, wrap up snugly.
order a taxicab, and ride home as fast
as possible, thus avoiding contact with
the cold atmosphere.
There has long been larger percentage
of cases of pneumonia among the men
than among the gentler sex of the Ma
tional Capital, and at last a plausible
reason for this has been advanced. The
health department says that more men
than women overindulge in eating and
in consuming alcoholic beverages, and
then expose themselves TO the cold air.
The best thing to prevent pneumonia"
reads a portion of the report, lis to stop
lowering the resisting powers of the body.
Breathe good, pure air at all times. Keep
your windows open and have your sleep
ing apartments well ventilated"

THE UNITED GROCERS' co.
ISSUES new PRICE LIST
Stimulating Cooperative Buying at
Their Many Washington Stores.

The United Grocers' Company, a cor
poration with half million dollar au-
thoriZed capital, is establishing stores
all over this city. These stores are SELL
ing only highest grade of standard. we'll
known goods, retailing at wholesale
prices. In several of their stores high
grade fresh meats are handled also. The
company desires to have one of their
four-page price lists in every home. This
can be obtained by sending postal card
to the main office.
Another feature is that every customer
who makes a purchase gets dividend
of 2 per cent every three months on all
they purchase. .--..
To interest still further the housekeep-
ers, the company invites the public to be
co-partners in this live concern, and to
this end they are offering for sale shares
of stock (the par value of which is ten
dollars. Purchasers of these shares can
either pay cash for what they desire or
can take four months time to pay for
them. Mr.. H. G. Hallinger, the Presi-
dent of this concern, who is at present
in this city, IN an interview to-day stated
that the united company is endeavoring
TO build up a chain of 1000 stores through
the South, and they fully expect to be
able to pay investors dividends of not
less than ten per cent from the start
AS the company is already firmly estab-
lished, and have in this city alone sew
eral thousand dollars invested in high
grade stores, all in active operation, and
are opening new stores each week, he
feels that the public will gladly avail
themselves Of the opportunity Of becom-
ing shareholders, even though for only
small amounts, as these shares should
pay SO much more than the small in
terest allowed by savings banks. Fur
ther, he states that any shareholder can,

as cash in buying goods from any Of

investor Of the perfect safety OF invest

TRAIN TOO FASTFOR HER. ]

Bewildered by the rush and hustle OF a

Justice Loden in finding her way to the
boat to take her back to quiet, peaceful
Alexandria, Va. She told the magis-

Under the solicitous questioning OF
the loquacious boss OF the Nineteenth

always wanted to visit Baltimore and
at last had made up her mind to do so.
For tho occasion she gathered all the
finery she could and, thus attired,
started. As she talked the big picture

New York, Sept. 21.-With the bear
element driving steel stocks down to
new low record figures for recent years,
the entire stock market was demorai-

announcement that the Steel Trust di-
rectors have decided that reolganiza-
ton must come if an action under the
federal antitrust law is to he avoided
was disquieting. 1t was accepted on
the street as meaning that most of the
big trusts will have to change their
business methods, and this is certain to
increase expenses for time, at least.
Steel common dropped more than

preferred was off five points. There

Assassination of Premier Stolypin
Believed to Have Been Planned
by Officials.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 21.-That the
assassination of Premier Stolypin was
not the work of terrorists, but was
planned by officials OF the Cars
government who were opposed to his
methods, and who used Bogroff as
tool, was the startling theory circul-
ated here today. It was asserted in
court circles thac Minister of Justice
Chicoegoivitoff, who was personally
investigating the case, is go fully con-
yinced Of this fact that ho has decided
that certain officials Of the secret ser.
vice shall be arrested Immediately.
s. According to the Noyoe Vremya,
the discoveries in connection with the
investigation have been so startling
that they can never be published in
their entirety. They show treachery
in high places, the newspaper asserts,
and prove that the original statement
that other officials would be found to
be involved are true.
All information regarding arrests
OF suspects in the case is refused by the
officials.

ALEXANDRIA, VA. THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER
THE DISABLED
STEAMER OLYMPIC
Captain Smith BIames Cruiser for
the Accidentally to be
Taken to Belfast.

Southampton, Sept. 21.-With q
decided list and with only a few OF
her cabin passenger remaining on
board, the big Olympic of the White
Star Line, rammed yesterday by the
cruiser Hawke, was towed into her
dock today.
An army of steyedores went immed-
lately to work removing all her car
60 and the baggage CT her passengers
was hustled ashore.
A survey by the port captain, as
sisted by the various officials disclosed
the fact that it will require month to
repair the vessel. She will proceed to
Belfast as soon as her cargo is out, and
go into the Harlan and Wolff yard
where she was built, to be repaired.
To his preliminary report Captain
Smith places the blame for the smash
entirely on the cruiser. The White
Star Line has called on the admiralty
for searching investigation, alleging
that the commander OF the Hawke
estimated the speed of the liner
and was thus responsible.
Many of the first cabin passengers of
the Olympic went forward today On
other vessels and the remainder will be
taken care OF in the immediate future.
The naval court OF inquiry to deter
mine the responsibility for the accident
will be held next week at Portsmouth.
The White Star officials disclaim all re.
sponsibility, saying that the officers Of
the Hawke were absolutely responsible,
and insist that the company will de.
mand heavy damages from the British
government.
