ChangeabIe Climate
is A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE
HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.

DR.. Hartman, Of Columbus, Ohio.
discusses an important health topic
He says:
Yes, it is the climate, not the germs,
that we have to fear in this country.
The germs are present, to be sure,
and are Of some significance IN
diagnosis. Climate, changeable
climate, is the true cause Of disease.
The atmospheric pressure varies, the
humidity Of the atmosphere changes.
Every day the temperature rises and
falls. All this presents to the body
very great trials to adjust to.
The area Of high pressure forms IN
the northwest. Moves rapidly south
east, subjecting millions Of our
population to its influence. The re-
suit is, thousands upon thousands OF
people catch cold. A small per cent.
Of these thousands do not get we'll OF
their cold, 1t goes into pneumonia,
or chronic Scatarrh, or bronchitis, or
laryngitis, or pleurisy.
Now, what am getting at Is this.
These climatic changes are inevitable.
No one can prevent them. The very
best we can do is to prepare for
them, defend ourselves against them.
Good health is the best preventive.
The very best. Vigorous health, with
excess vitality. this is Natures own
preventive and protection.
We do not all have this. however.
Some Of US must have assistance.
The assistance that use for myself.
would recommend for my friends to
use, my neighbors and my country
men. is Pe-ru-na Keep Pe-ru-na in
the house.
II the children indicate they are
catching cold, give them Pe-ru-ra-
If the parents, the grandfather or
grandmother, present those symptoms
that are so we'll known which precede
a cold, a few doses of Pe-ru-na and
the deed is done.
Some people are very subject to
colds. Others who have weak lungs
and are timid about our winter
weather, take Pe-ru-na of and on
during the whole winter season.
The plan is a good one. The medicine
is inexpensive. 1t does no possible
harm to the system. It keeps the
appetite regular and keen. 1t as
sists digestion and helps the user
through the inclement weather Of

Tobacco In Williamsburg.

The farmers of Williamsburg
county are very much interested in
tobacco and they are finding it very
profitable. The cultivation Of the
crop is not very difficult and it does
not take up so much time. v is
very, important to get good plant
bed out early in the season, not
la.er than January Is. The curing
of tobacco is exceedingly important,
but it is not very difficult to learn.
In fact it is easy for beginners to
secure very plain instructions about
tobacco from the starting of the
plant bed to the curing in the barn.
The white farmers who are raising
tobacco in Williamsburg county
will average about $3.50 per acre on
their sales at the warehouses. The
marketing usually commences from
July 10 to Is, and continues five or
six weeks. The sales commence
about October 80 and continue from
8 to 5 hours. Dor chester Eagle.
Our contemporary is mistaken as
to the time of selling tobacco in
Williamsburg county. The sales
this year commenced about July l
and the markets closed Sptember Is.

NEWS NOTES FROM SCRANTON.
Dwelling Burglarized--Other Lo-
cal Items of Interest.


Scranton, December 2:-Wednes-
day of last week the residence of
Capt l. F Parrott was entered by
raising a sash, all the family being
away. Money evidently was the
sole object of the robbers. as moth
ing else was taken. Trunks were
ransacked and $3.50 stuck to the
thief's fingers, leaving lone penny
in the purse. A farmer living near
town passed the house in question
the afternoon of the theft and see
ing three negro youths sitting on
the railroad near the house recog-
nized them as the same bunch ne
had noticed on passing the scene OF
robbery the previous day. Sunday
he proceeded to work up the case
and endeavored to make the boys
"come across" but nothing doing"
Pressed bit more one OF the pals,
Willie Mack, confessed that Sammie
Welch did the stunt" and that ne
willie Mack tried to persuade
Sammie not to 60 in Cap'n's
house." but go he did. None of
the money was recovered, Sammie
holding out that he did not get it.
Meanwhile he is putting up at the
guard-house awaiting hearing be-
fore a magistrate, which will be
given him today or tomorrow. His
pal, Willie Mack, will be used as
witness against him and he may be
brought in too. The third member
of the gang, younger boy, may
not be implicated. This is the Sec
ond affair of the kind that has
happened here recently, $500 hav-
ing stolen from the same house
about month ago.
Webb Eaddy, who was cut by two
other negroes Sunday, November %,
has recovered. This case was settled
out of court, each of the assailants
paying $40. Webb thought he got
his share in the fuss and got off free.
That youth desires entertainment
and recreation these long winter
evenings is evidenced by the number
of socials," that are being given,
there being three in town last week,
some in honor of visiting guests.
others just for the merry time"
We are having some rain at pres
ent, which will settle the dust of
several weeks.
We hope that the EDITORS little
daughter, Stella, will soon recover
from her long-continued illness.
LATER:-The three negro boys
charged with entering Mr. J L F
PARROTS residence and taking $3.50
were given an informal hearing to-
day and a compromise brought
about. Willie Mack, who accused
Sammie Welch, (who has been in
the guard-house since Sunday after
noon with taking the money was
found to be the one who got it in
stead of Sammie. Mack, thus hav-
ing the blame shifted to him, made
good the amount and is free. This
is the second crime within a short
time charged against Mack, the
other being when he passed Con-
federate $40 William" on aclerk in
town. Two open cases against this
sneak thief! M q.

JURY TO GET D|GGS
CASE BEFORE NIGHT
Defendant Bitterly AssaiIed by
Attorney for Prosecution in
Closing Argument. a.E

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.-The
Diggs case will be In the jury's hands
before nightfall. Attorney Roche, of
the prosecution, resumed his talk to the
jury at 10 a m. today. Attorney Sui
livan was to follow him, also speaking
for the prosecution. They were TO be
answered by Attorneys Devlin and
Coghlan and probably by Attorney
Woodworth, for the defense. The law
yers on either side divided two hours
and twenty minutes among themselves.
The arguments concluded, Judge Van
Fleet will deliver to the jury his charge,
already practically completed. He an
nounced, when the testimony was fin
ished, that the case must go to the jury
today.
Attorney Roche's speech has consisted
of savage arrangement of Maury
Diggs, the accused.
The gist of Diggs' testimony, Roche
asserted, was that he and Caminetti in
tended to take the two girls to Reno Ito
escape prosecution, and then return to
the shelter of their own homes and to
the wives and children they had aban-
doned, leaving the girls, the victims of
their passions, to go down into the
depths"
1t Is the consensus of opinion that
Diggs' brutal and indelicate story on the
witness stand injured his case The
Jurors, at any rate, fairly gaped in as
tonishment as he related the scene in his
own bedroom with Miss Warrington, and
told of the latter's contemptuous re-
mark concerning her triumph over the
absent wife.

JUDGE LINDSEY To

Denver Jurist Will Tell of His
Plans Before Equal Suffrage
Meeting.

Judge Ben Lindsey. of the Juvenile
court of Denver. will make his first
reply to his critics who are attempting
TO tsart recall proceedings against him
at an equal suffrage meeting to be held
in the Columbia Theater here at $3.50
O'Clock Sunday afternoon, August 81.
Posters OF the meeting are being dis
ributed today from suffrage head
quarters at 1420 + street and tickets
are on sale there and at the theater.
and the Indications are that the house
will be sold out several days before
the meeting. Other speakers will be
DIR. Anna Howard Shaw and Congress
man Kent of California.
While Judge Lindsey will speak pri-
marily in the interest of the suffrage
cause, he will take up at some length
the fight being made against him IN
Denver and will reply to the charge
that he has shown undue leniency In
sentencing men and boys accused OF
mistreating girls under eighteen years
of age Petitions to initiate recall pro-
ceedings against him have already been
drafted, but as get not much of an
attempt has been made to circulate
them.
To make such petitions effective, 1t
will be necessary to get about loOo
signatures to them, and Judge Lindsey $
friends say that his enemies cannot
muster one-fourth of that number. But
il is said to be probable that Judge
Lindsey will call on his friends to sign
the petitions, so the matter OF MS
record can be threshed out in court and

him proven.

Federation Gains Strong
Local Organizations

The BrickIayers, .Masons and Plaster
ers' Local Union, one OF the strongest
labor organizations in Washington, last
night at a mass meeting in Typographical
Temple, practically unanimously adopted
resolutions favoring affiliation with the
American Federation of Labor.
A movement, embracing the entire
country, has been started among the
union men in these branches of the
building trades to take a vote Of all the
unions to determine the wishes of the men
to see If they will favor affiliation with
the American Federation of Labor.
Many Of the unions have passed favor
ably upon the question.
II is probable that by the middle Of
September this army Of skilled laborers
viii have been gathered into the fed
Grafton fold. Such a decision would add
tens of thousands Of members, and great
strength TO the American Federation Of
Labor. 1t is said that the membership
of the Bricklayers' Unions is approx
mately 100000 men
At the last international convention
Of the Bricklayers' Union, at st. JOS
eph, Mo-, this matter was referred to
the local unions.
