COLDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

Intelligent people realize that com.
mon colds should be treated prompt.
ly. If there is sneezing, with chill
mess and hoarseness, tickling throat
and coughing, the latter especially
annoying at bed time, use Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound. 1t is ef-
fective, pleasant to take, checks a
cold, stops the cough which causes
loss of sleep, and lowers the vital
resistance to disease. Remember the
name, Foley's Honey and Tar Com

A Difference in Working Hours.

A mans working day is 8 hours.
His body organs must work prefect-
ly "a hours to keep him fit for 8
hours work. Weak, sore, inactive kid
neys can not do it. They must be
sound and healthily active all the
time. Foley Kidney Pills will make
them sound and we'll. You can not
take them into your system without
good results following their use. They
are tonic in action, quick in results,
and contain no habit forming drugs.
Try them. S. G. Wall and J. L.

THOUSANDS OF JAPANESE
KILLED BY VOLCANO, THEORl

TOXIC, Jan. 12-The Sakurashima
volcano, on the island of kiushiu, mas
been erupting since yesterday. The
authorities fear that thousands oil
Japanese have been killed or injured.
1t is estimated the property loss is
over million dollars. The village
of Sakurashima and adjacent settle.
ment was destroyed.
According to the latest reporu the
eruption has almost overwhelmed Ka-
goshima, a city of 10000 inhabitants,
Near by on the mainland, rocks and
ashes are falling. The inhabitants
are evacuating. The volcanic rocks
are blocking the railroad, making de-
parture difficult. Many kogashima
houses have been destroyed.
The population of Kiushiu islands
is sixteen thousand. According to an
unconfirmed report a large percent
age of these have perished.
An accurate estimate of the fatal
ties is impossible. The last authentic
Kagoshima message said all opera
tors had fled, so telegraph communi-
cations are impossible.
The eruption folled the $50 earth
quakes that have occurred since Sat
urday.

TOXIC, Jan. 13.-Kagoshima is to-

est dispatches received here tonight
1t is believed that thousands of people
have perished.
Fugitives from the village of Sa-
kurshima, tonight say that fully a
thousand persisted there and in that
immediate vicinity They state that
10000 remained in the vicinity after
the earthquake gave warning of the
approaching eruption. Of these it is
supposed that half have perished. The
volcano is still active.
The latest reports are that anoth-
er volcano in central Japan is II
eruption. No attempt is made to es-
innate the casualties or damage there
Many of the inhabitants of Kiushiu
and Kaloshima who escaped the lava
stream perished in the blazing forests
or by being burned and crushed by
the white rock that was thrown miles
into the interior.
The telegraph operator who sent
the last message from Kagoshima
said he was the only living person
there. The message stopped in the
middle of a sentence. 1t is supposed
the operator is dead.
In many parts of Kagoshima the
molten lava flowed through tn,
streets. For eight miles north the
Kagoshima railroad was blocked b!
rocks.
The trainload of refugees wer,
forced to flee on foot.
