In this country beech is the favorite
material for wooden shoes, the manu-

able proportions in the United States
according to ,he department Of agricul-
ture, which has just issued bulletin
on the use of the wood. These shoes.
the department says, cost from 90 to
IS cents a pair and are good for two
wears. They are worn by those who
have to work in cold or wet places.
such as tanneries, brcweries, and liv-
cry stables, and by workmen in steel
mills and glass factories who must walk
on hot CRATES or floors. Farmers, too
are classed among the users.
Beech wood is put to a very much

NALAHIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Sc
rious Consequences Of Neg
leCt,

"Fix me up something to knock tiss
malaria. Doctor" remarked sallow-
faced, sickly looking man, entering
prominent physicians Office the other
dav.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
shake we'll and follow directions and
resumed his seat.
"Such cases are frequent" replied the
doctor in answer to a question. 1.-The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it IS from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
Eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
.nalarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it IS to get into good condi-
lion by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy. and to continue with it at fire.
quent intervals during the sickly season.
A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or
four times a week will do all of this, be-
sides stimulating the digestion, improv-
ing the appetite and keeping the bodily
energy at the highest pitch.
Prickly Ash Bitters is known every
where as a system tonic and bowel regu-
lator. 1t not only removes all traces of
malarial poison from the system, but
tones up the vital orgaus,. gives new
strength and vigor, makes the body
strong and the brain active.
"Prickly Ash Btters is the best all-around

past ten years have always kept it in my house.

Thaw's Wealth A Mill Stone.

The newspaper men must re-
greet to chronicle the capture of
Harry Thaw, not because his
arrest terminates thrilling es-
cape and mystery story, because
his fight against extradition
continues the sensation, but be-
cause newspapers, like individu-
ais, have a feeling for the under
dog, the criminal who has par
TALLY atoned for crime in prison
service.
Moreover, in ThaW's case,
much public sentiment stood
with him even after he had mar-
dered his fellow-man, all of
which was rather unusual be-
cause the big rich" who commit
crimes, as a rule, do not appeal
to popular sympathy. We don't
regard sympathy as necessary
in such cases; they have their
money, their able lawyers, their
bribery oftentimes to give every
advantage in the courts and
what more could they want in
evading punishment and JUS
tice? And while this is the pop
ular viewpoint, we find in Thaw's
case, that his wealth, position
and prominence initiated against
any escape from the strong arm
of the law. He battled in vain,
even in securing acquittal for
murder, for Matteawan was no
better than Sing Sing unless to
his pride and later opportunity to
escape. No prosecution was ever
more capably, vigorously and
increasingly directed than that
of the young millionaire.
Because he had means and the
disposition to use his wealth
corruptly in his fight for life and
freedom, the public eye was upon

ers. While these public ser

cused upon their every move.
the interest Of the people was
such that they were called
upon to exert unnatural zeal and
watchfulness in order To avoid
suspicion.
And thus we note, in the very
columns which startled the
country with an account OF
Thaw's escape, the arrest Of the
old guard, whose life stood UNI
blemished for twenty years, now
charged with conspiracy in per-
hitting the escape of Thaw. And
so it has been all along. No pub
lie official could show favors to
Thaw. If he did, the public
said he was bribed. And as it
has been through a murder trial
and in his many efforts to prove
his sanity and secure release, so
it will be in the fight to bring
him back to confinement. His
wealth will be his greatest mill
stone to carry.
