colds do not result from cold weather.
That is rank foolishness. Were it
true colds would be as prevalent in
midsummer as in midwinter. The
microbe that causes colds fiourishes

cold take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It is effectual and is highly

required, and know its real value.

Manhandling Walters
 Arraigned In Court For Beating Patrons

--ecording to the police. walters in restaurants in the vicinity of Water street, in some instances insist upon a man paying twice for his food, especially if he happens to be under the influence of drink, beating him if he refuses their requests.
 Two cases of this nature were aired in the city court this morning, both walters being found guilty of assault and fined. Michael Brown, 25 years old, who works in a restaurant on Water street, attempted to make Thomas Burns pay twice for his eggs. Burns refused and Brown followed him into the street, knocked him down and then kicked him in the stomach and ribs.
 Three men who witnessed the as- sault, testified in court this morning to the brutality of Brown, on having seen Burns pay for his food Brown, who was arrested once before for the same offence was fined $15 and court costs by Judge Bartlett.
 Gustave Caragoris, waiter in another Water street restaurant, fol- lowed John Sullivan into the street last night and knocked him down with a punch in the jaw. Sullivan in court said the blow had robbed him of his memory and that he did not know whether or not he was in the restaur- ant. The waiter was fined $5 and costs.

EUROPE SEES IN
 WILSON CHAMPION ''MAN OF HOUR"

President Wilson, viewed through European dyes, appears as a cham. pion of International righteousness says Major Wallace Winchell, a lead. CT of the Salvation Army, who has re- gently returned from the' war zone where he distributed a fund for the relief of sufferers.
 '"To the sojourner in Europe these days" says Major Winchell, lone .o1 the most interesting studies is that of the attitude of the people toward America and the administration o1 President Wilson. Throughout the appalling crisis which has overwhelm- ed Europe and threatened repeatedly to disturb the serenity of the rest o1 the world, our President has appear ed not so much for peace at any price but for righteousness at all hazards. His brave interpretation of interna- tional law has been a model for man. kind and his demonstrations of its intricacies in undertaking to force the observance of such have stamped him pre-eminently as the man of the hour.
 "On several occasions while ir Europe I heard this expression: which is the strongeSt-the German army, the British navy. or the Amer jean dollar?' Let leaders like Presi- dent Wilson point the answer. If the example of the United States in deal ing with the world problem is nc more than a financial showing, our influence becomes nil. But if at the end of the war this country reveals a moral character, strong, buoyant and free from selfish advantage or hy- pocritical motives, then our flag will wave higher than ever before in the eyes of the world.'
 BENSON
 San Francisco, Oct 20.-After com pleting a transcontinental campaign tour and feeling out public sentiment from coast to coast. Allen l.. Benson, Socialist candidate for President, pre- diets the reelection of President Will son.
 On reaching San Francisco last week he was interviewed by The Bull letin, which quotes him as follows:
 ''The tendencies of the voters of this country, as I have observed them in a speaking tour of 40 days, all in- cline toward the reelection of MT. Wilson. If MT. Hughes is permitted to talk long enough he will do for MT. Wilson all that the President can't do for himself MT. Hughes is trying to get the solid millionaire vote and I think he will succeed.
 MT. Hughes was always Q handy man for the Rockefellers. He went to church with them and taught a Bible class there. When he became Governor of New York re vetoed the two-cent fare bill. which was so bit terly opposed by the Rockefeller rail- roads, and tried to prevent the rati- fication of the income tax amend ment''

SIXTY THOUSAND ATTEND
 YALE PAGEANT; BUG BOWL THRONGED FOR SPECTACLE

New Haven, Oct. 21.-The two hun dredth anniversary of the removal of Yale College-then a school for the colony-from Saybrook to New Ha- ven, was commemorated by Yale Uni versity and the City of New Haven to- day.
 Sun and blue skies after a day and night of wind and rain put New Ha- ven into gala attire for the pageant to- day. Many thousands of persons, among whom were Yale alumni, and members of their families had come to the city for the most historical pageant ever staged iA the United States.
 Long before noon thousands of vis- itors were pouring into the city and preparing to go to the Bowl for the pageant.
 The story of the founding of the col 1ege, of it's existence through the Rev. olutionary period, its part in the af- fairs of the country prior to the Civil War, it's modern development and growth into a great institution, and the Yale of to ?day, was told in pa- geantry.

Wheeler wrote them a letter, say ing how grateful MT. Hill was and saying that MT. Hill hoped to recipro- cate when he came to vote in legisla- ton This letter will also be printed and I hope you will all read it.
 Let us make a long story short. MT. Hill had the substantial benefit of a fund of $10,000, dragooned from all sorts of manufacturing interest: from persons who lived within and from others who lived without his dis. trtct.
 This fund paid all the cost of his campaign that is worth talking about. It paid for his printing, his posters, his buttons, his canvass of voters, for large numbers of men who worked at the polls and for many other things.
 Sometimes they got it in cash and sometimes they got it by check.
 '"They got it, and they used it. They used more than the entire Democratic campaign cost in the state in the same year. They used more than all ten congressman running on both tickets were entitled to spend under the law. They expended seven times as much as the Republican candidate in the First district expended.
 "Is it unfair to assume that Mr. Hill is doing this year: or trying to do, what he did four wears ago. Are we not
 
 paying his campaign bill this year? 'fWho is paying this year for the big posters all over the bill boards?
 twill MT. Hill tell us?
 MT. Donovan will pay his own cleo ton expenses. He won't take cash nor reciprocate in legislation.
 (Which man do you prefer? MT. Donovan, who obeys the law and plays fair, or MT. Hill, who takes what he can get where he can get it;
 Seventy Republicans voted for the Adamson bill, the eight hour bill. But Mr. Hill didn't.
 Did MT. Hills notions of reciproc- ity extend to this legislation? Can he get more money this year than he got two years ago, because of this 1egisla- ton?
 'Who is paying Hills campaign bills this year?"
