Suggestions For 1914

If you had Typhoid Fever in
your Town during thd year 1913,
try cleaning up your alleys. keep
them clean, make your privys fly
proof and keep the vaults cleaned
out and rse Chloride of lime in
the vault, alleys and stable yards
frequently and see if you Lave as
much Typhoid Fever in 1914.
Remember that clean, sparkling
good tasting water is not slways
pure and safe to use. If you have
no broof that the water you use is
pure and wholesome let the State
examine il. Public water that is
suspicioned of causing sickness
is examined without cost; when
wanted for commercial reasons, II
fee is charged. See to the purity
of the water for 10 IA.
Water that is contaminated can
cause Typhoid Fever, Dysentery
and Diarrhoea, and is frequent
cause of summer complaint with
children. Make certain of the pnr-
ity of the water in 1914 and you
may save sickness with your babies
No manure piles, no flies. Haul it
out and where you can't use il as
a fertilizer, burn it. No flies, means
little CT no sickness. Rid your
selves of the manure piles and you
won't need Fly swatting prize
Offering Campaign in 1914.
During the past few years a
majoriuy of typhoid fever reports
have come from the country or
farm. This is not as it should be,
fer the farm can and should be the
healthy place of abode. Close at
tention to home premises, a well
drained stable lot. well that is
properly protected so that no waste
can drain into it, a home safely
screened, we'll lighted and we'll
ventilated and located some dis
tance from the barns and pens
for live stock, a'privy located as
far as possible away from tn Q
chickens and hogs and made as
fly proof as possible, together with |
the liberal use chloride of lime in |
privy vault and around the ohicks
on and hog pens and hauling and
spreading upon the fields all ma
nure from the stable lots, twice q
week should render farmer home
fres from flies and many of the di-
'eases that are contagious and in
'ectious ;and in our opinion this is
he best prescription for the pre-
'ention of Typhoid Fever.

HIM UP WHILE POL
A wrecking crew of six slug
gers in the employ of the Shaw
Taxi Co., assaulted Matthew
Klein, 1917 Halsted street, mem
Der of the auto livery chaufeurs'
union, on the night Of Jan. IA, &C
cording to a sworn statement
made by Klein today.
Klein and T. F. Neary, .secre-
tary of the union, have sworn out
warrants for the arrest of Robert
Liskia, John Denman and a
chauffeur named Jacobson, as
three of the sluggers whom Klein
recognized.
Klein says he swore to the
statement telling the details of
the assault because he has been
told that he will not be able to
testify when the case comes to
trial.
In the statement, Klein says
that Policeman Mclaughlin
stood and watched him beat up
and made no move to interfere.
On the night of January IA,
Klein was in the auto of w. J.
Karrigan, president of the chauf-
feurs' union. Klein somewhat
resembles Karrigan.
Klein stopped the car at the
corner of LaSa1le and Randolph
streets about midnight. There,
Klein says, the six sluggers rush
ed him and beat him almost into
insensibility. Klein says he
thinks the sluggers took him for
Karrigan.

GASOLINE ENGINE
SOUNDS LIKE PISTOL

Friday morning about o'clock the
citizens living in the vicinity of East
Man street we're suddenly awakened
by the quick and rapid detonatons,
which sounded like the discharge Of
a 45-pistol. With the visions OF the
recent hold-ups and robberies in their
minds, the first thought was that the
thieves were again at work and had
met with serious opposition at the
hands of city officers. Quite a few
hastily arose. donned' their clothing,
and grasping their trusty 40, camo
to town, presumably TO assist in the
capture, but when they arrived on the
scene they were met not with men
bent on robbery, but by local baker,
who had been endeayoring to get his
gasoline engine to run, and the quick
reports were from this source.

WY FOREIGN LOSSES ARE LIGHT.

No argument in the campaign
against the fire waste of the United
States has beenfmore effective than
the comparison OF tie fire losses here
and in foreign countries. The fact
that the foreign losses have been
about one-tehth Of those in this coun-
try has opened the eyes Of the peo-
pie to the Importance of better con-
struction, strictly-enforced laws and
a sense Of individual responsibility for
fires.
The difference between America and
Europe 10 this matter was we'll put
by the Hon Robert Stone of Topeka,
Kan. in a recent address before the
business men of that city. He said:
1--WE are nation Of money makers.
Europe is nation OF money savers.
We are a people OF waste, they are a
people of thrift. We figure that tho
most important thing is to make a
dollar. and they that il is Of equal i'm
portance to save one. This is evidenc-
ed in our hurried construction OF in
flammable buildings, and in their
slow and solid masonry; in our will
ingness to pay a high rate of fire In
suranee with the attendant risk, and
their insistenoe on a low rate and un.
ceasing care: In our elaborate fixtures
for the putting out of fires and their
precaution in preventing fires We re-
gard a fire as a misfortune and sympa-
thize with the man who has one: they
regard fire as a crime and investigate
and punish the man who is guilty.
OR temperament Is also shown by
the different view we take of an in
urance policy. Here. II our property
is insured and we have fire, we do
not count Il as a loss simply that
we have transferred the loss to other
and distant shoulders. There, the in
surance is regarded as a tax, which
is ultimately borne by everyone. Here,
we regard insurance as a gamble, and
II there is fire the insurance COM
pany has lost the bet. There. 1t is
regarded as a means of redr,ing the
loss to "a certainty and is borne by
the whole community. Here, we fig
ure that the insurance company re-
stores the loss; they, that It merely
indemnifies the owner for a loss
which can never be restored. We en-.
deavor to extinguish the fire, they
labor to prevent it. We are losing a
fortune every year, they are saving
one"

Kansas City, Dec. 17.-When six in

side court Monday whether they were
guilty they refused to answer. When
asked to raise their right hands and
be sworn they turned their backs on
the Judge and one found his tongue.
"To hell with the court he said,
"No matter what we do we get no
justice here"
The remark cost the man S5OO-or

were fined $10O each. One said he

CATARRH OF
The PHARYNX.

Clearing out your throat every day,
AL day. That Is what you have been
doing for months. Possibly years. A
little mucus covers the pharynx.
II you were to go to a doctor he
would tell you that you have phar-
yngitis. II you were to look into
your own throat you would find Just
back of the soft palate a red. iumpy,
granular appearance OF the back part
of the throat. Pharyngitis the doc
tors call Il.
Perhaps he would call II, folicular

annoyance. You are always making
slight disturbances when seated in an

still. Stringy mucus bothers you.

the way you are going nearly all day.
Sometimes In the night when you
wake up. You ought TO gargie your
throat with salt water every morn
ing. Cold salt water. That clears
out the throat perfectly and makes 1t

Peruna is the treatment. Begin
with a. teaspoonful before each meal
