PARIS PREPARES TO FIGHT.

Paris.-The decree issued by the
military governor ordering all resi-
dents of the district within action OF
the city's defending forts to avacuate
and destroy their houses within four
days was formal notice to inhabi-
tants of the military zone, although
many army engineers recently made
a tour of the environs of the forts and
explained that tenants might be called
on to destroy property that was deem
ed an obstruction. Many houses in the
line of fire are occupied by poor peo-
pie. Many of these families lack re-
sources and will be without refuge.
Nevertheless they took the situation
without complaint
Preparations for an entrenched
camp also took another form. Enor-

nouncement that troops from India
were being called to help the British
Army In France and that the British
Army Is to be reinforced immediately.
The only consolation offered the
British public was the statement
from Field Marshal Sir John French
that In the heavy fighting against ire
mendous odds the British troops, who
suffered severely, bore themselves
with conspicuous bravery.

TO RAISE A REVENUE.
Baseball Tickets and Several
Others

+ Washington.-A stamp tax on sof,
/ drinks as well as beer and patent
medicines, is contemplated by mem
| bers OF the House Ways and Means
Committee, which is preparing an
emergency internal revenue bill to
Offset treasury losses during curtail-
| ment of imports. It is urged that soft
drinks are as much Injuries as wines
or beer and that an equitable distribu.
ton Of the tax burden among all con-
sumers would be accomplished by this
plan.
Another suggestion is stamp tax
OF five or 10 per cent on railroad tick
cts and admission to theaters, baseball
parks and other licensed amusements.
1t is estimated that from $4,000, 600
to $80,000,000 could be raised in this
way.
The committee has not yet deter
mined upon a complete taxation
plan, but purposes to hasten its de-.
liberation SO bill may be introduced
soon after President Wilson addresses
Congress en- the subject which prob
ably will be Immediately upon his re-
turn from New Hampshire. Admins
tration leaders are impressed with the
necessity OF quick action.

PINKLETS
The Laxative That Really
Does Correct Constipation.

Constipation. means that poisonous ma
terias which should have been expelled
from the body are being retained. AT
first there may be only feeling Of full
ness and discomfort but soon the appetite
fails, the digestion becomes disordered,
the tongue coated, the breath offensive
and there is a bad taste in the mouth.
The first step in correcting constiIation
is to stop the use of strong purgatives.
Substitute for them the mild, non-cripirg
but effective laxative pills, Pinklets.
Strong, harsh pursatives are OF little
value in thetreatment OF constipation he
cause they wear out the muscular activity
of the bowels and finally lessen their sem
eibility to even the strongest stimulation.
The continued use of puTgativcs a,ways
brings on chronic constipation instead Of
correcting it. With Pinklcts yeu need
have nosuch fear. They assist the bowels
and liver lust enough to get them in pro-
per working order. Any druggist can
supply you with Pinklets at % eents per
bottle. Write today to the DIR. Williams
Medicine Co, Schenectady, n. Y, for
copy of the Pinklet book which tells all
about the treatment Of constipation.

The case Of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel L.

company, which was tried in Bethel last
June before a commission named by
the probate court Of this district under
No. l79 Of the acts OF 1890, has inst
been decided. The commission awards
the Parkers $296.53. and BY the terms
of the law this decision is final This
was an action to recover damages
claimed to have been caused to the Par
ker farm, one mile up the White river
from this village by the logs of the

heard on each side. The Clamplain Real
and John f. Davis of Sherburne Hear
ty company claimed that the damage
was done by the freshet and not by its
logs; that the company used dude care
in running its logs; that the company
had right TO run Is logs down the
river without the act under which the
Parkers brought the proceeding; that
little damage was really done, either by
its logs or the high water; and insisted
that il was not liable at all. The com
mission finds that the company's logs

FEARS GIRLS EYES
WILL WIN JURORS
Defendants Attorney Protests, but the
Judge Declares He Can't Control
Lady's Smiles.

New York, Feb. l3.-Eyes that would
not behave smiled without stint in Judge
Whittaker's court yesterday, when the
divorce hearing of Mrs. Marguerite Eb
ling Anderson was resumed. Mrs. An
derson is the daughter of w. III. Ebling
wealthy brewer, and granddaughter OF
the late Christian Schmidt, a Philadel-
phia brewer.
The eyes belonged to Miss Lorraine
Parker, pretty artists model, who tes-
titled for Mrs. Anderson. Attorneys for
Anderson, the defendant, appealed to the
judge to order Miss Parker to keep her
eyes from the jury, on the grounds that
her bewitching looks might influence the
verdict.
1T is not within the courts power to
control lady's eyes," replied the Judge.
And the ''lady's eyes" safely beyond
the pale of the law, continued to rove.
Miss Parker blushingly admitted that
she had met Anderson, after his mar
riage, in Broadway cafe, and that
he called to see her afterwards many
times when she was unchaperoned.

Widely Scattered Families Can Become

/ Washington, ID. c., Feb. l3-0ne sum
mer a department of agriculture Pathol-
ogst was walking through sugar beet
| field in Utah and saw patch OF leaves,
spotted and blotched with black, iTegu-
lar spots He had seen many beet fields
and was familiar with the common leaf
diseases. but these black spots were diff
ferent from any that he had noticed be-
fore. He picked number of the leaves
and sent them to Washington to have
one Of his laboratory assistants examine
them and ii possible find the cause Of
the trouble.
1t so happened that about a month
before this, man who. was interested
in growing nasturtiums in Virginia
found MANY of the leaves of his nastur-
tium bed affected with watery spots. He
watched them and found that after a
few days the spots turned yellow and
later the tissue fell out. He thought
perhaps someone interested in plant
pathology would like to examine the
leaves and might be able to tell him
what the matter was and what to do
for his plants. So he sent them to the
bureau of plant industry. Another lab
oratory assistant examined these leaves
and found the cells in the diseased places
filled with bacteria which were very ae-
tive. She used the laboratory methods
for getting this germ out of the leaves
and proved that she bad the right one
that had caused the trouble.
When the dark spotted sugar-beet
leaves arrived in Washington, the lab
oratory assistant examined the leaves
and found numerous bacteria in the dis
eased spots. She isolated these bacteria
from the sugar-beet leaves by the usual
method and proved that she had the
germ that had caused the disease.
For long time it was thought that
these two diseases were caused by two
different organisms, as it was natural to
suppose, and the two assistants worked
out the life histories OF the two germs.
Then one day while they were talking
about their work they discovered from
the many tests they had made that i'm
stead of different germs the two were
exactly alike. They were surprised at
this and made many subsequent tests to
prove that they had made no mistakes;
then they produced the nasturtium dis
ease on nasturtium leaves, using the
germ they had gotten from the diseased
beet leaves, and they produced the beet

REPUBLICANS COMING BACK.
Chairman Woods Sees Encouraging Signs
in the Congressional Election in Iowa.

Washington, Feb. 10. Chairman
Frank p. Woods of the national Republi-
can congressional committee has given
out the Following statement respecting
the election in the second district OF
Iowa.
With only ten days in Which to make
campaign, without the aid of speak
ers, the Republicans made remarkable
gains in the second congressional dis
trict of Iowa. Notwithstanding the ur-
gent appeal of President Wilson and of
speakers like Champ Clark and Senator
Reed to stand by the Democratic adj
ministration, there was significant Dem
ocratic loss compared with last year of
5000, a Bull Moose loss of 1900 and a
Republican gain of over 1900. The re-
suit established two things, first, the
country is dissatisfied with the Demo-
cratic tariff, and secondly, the Bull
Moose are returning to the Republican
fold.
