Christmas Diamond Call

The call for fine diamonds has been par
ticularly loud this Christmas season. Ex-
pccting it. we imported direct a supply of
diamonds before the latest skyward movement
Of prices. Mounting these splendid gems in
our own factory and selling them in a simply
furnished store of which the rent is low, we
keep prices down to n scale that could not be
touched if we paid middlemen's profit or
waited before buying for prices in the foreign
market to go higher.

MORGAN HOUSE AIDS IN AN
ERIE RAILROAD COUP.

Another similar case cited was that
OF the Delaware Valley and Kingston
Railroad projected by the Pennsyl-
,ania Coal Company. another large
Independent producer:

the Erie Railroad Company, pur-
chased the entire capital stock OF
the Pennsylvania Coal Company and
the projected railroad company. In
return for these securities. which had
n par value OF 5000. 900, the Erie
railroad issued TO j. L. Morgan &
Co. 5000. 900 of its first preferred
stock and 49,. 200. 900 Erie Railroad
Company Pennsylvania collateral
per cent. coupon gold bonds. The
Erie paid a premium of approximate
~ $50, 000. 900 for this property and
charged the premium to it's cost of

The Lehigh Valley Railroad gobbled
up Coke Brothers & Co., coal opera
tors. and the little Delaware, Susque-
hanna and ~Schuylkill Railroad, over
which Coke shipped. To do this, 49,
00o,0 900 of Lehigh bonds were issued
and the properties bought In for S14,-

their stock.
With the recent extortionate boost
In coal prices New Workers. realized
that Burns Brothers have become the
dominant retail coal merchants OF tho
metropolis. This firm has been IA
vored by the combine and granted op-
portunitiee that other retail dealers
did not enjoy. The Government shows
how this was done:
I'm n lease dated Juno 6, 1910, to
run for a period OF ton years, tho

Have your teeth attended to at
least every six months. By so doing
your dental bills will amount to but
little You will find that you will be
free from tcothaches and many other
annoyances which are caused by
bad teeth. Consult your family physi-
clan about the baby's teeth. When
you find a physician that tells you
that teeth will right themselves, that
adenoids will disappear and that en-
larged tonsils amount to nothing,
that slight deafness will pass away,
that neaT-sightedness will correct it
self, and that beginning nasal ca
tarrh does not need treatment, be on
your guard because such a man>is
dangerous.
The removal of tonsils, like the re-
moval of adenoids, is a very simple
operation, almost devoid of danger,
and when done by skilled specialist
almost invariably results in improve
ment in the patient.
Watch your child at night and see
if it habitually breathes with its
mouth open, see if the skin of the
nose seems to be drawn tight, see if
the chiId's face is that which is COM
monty called a "pinched" counte-
nance. If you detect any of these
signs take your child to reputable
physician for an examination. Don't
wait to cure i'll health, learn how to
prevent if Remember that a child's
first set of teeth are lust as important
while it has them as a second set
wilI'be later on.

ilitical friend of- the iHs6Inins Gov

Governor-elest Bilbo'sS inaugural
message to the legislature will con.
tain. recommendation thatSan appro'
priation Of $lo0,doo be made for the
preservation and repair of the old capiS
tol building.
Announcement to this effect was
made by the Governor-elect today.
While he will ot'Niscuss the subject
at length in his inaugural address, the
new Governor intends to send a spe.
cial message to the lawmakers, setting
forth the reasons why, in his opinion,
the historic building ought to be put
in first class repair.
The strongest arugment that'h ap-
pealed to the new Governor is the fact
that the present capitol building is
badly overcrowded, and several de,
partments of state government are in
urgent need of more room. The over
crowding will, of course, continue
from year to year with the growth of
the states business and the creation
of new departments of government.
The Governor-elect will also suggest
the appointment of capitol commits
sion, composed of three or five mem
hers, whose duty it shall be to select
plans and specifications for the repair
work, employ an architect. award con-
tract. and personally supervise the
construction. The plan he proposes
is similar to that used in the erection
Of the new capitol building, which was
constructed within the appropriation,
without a bond issue, and without any
semblance of graft, the books of the
capitol commission and of the con
tractors tallying to penny when the
work was completed.
Every patriotic organization in Mis-
sissippi has Joined in an earnest ap
lpeal to the legislature for the preserva
| ton of the ancient building, many OF
| these appeals being based chiefly on
sentimental grounds. These argu
ments have not especially impressed
the lawmakers, but the presentation
of the practical side of the question
showing that the building is actually
needed by the state government, ant
that unless the work is authorized a.
this session of the Legislature it will
be too late, has made decidedly fav
orable impression.

Now that the season is propitious
for the spread of the above named dis
ease, a word of advice may not be
amiss.
Our knowledge of diphtheria is very
satisfactory since we know the cause,
its mode of transmission and how to
prevent it's spread.
We also have a scientific remedy,
both curative and preventive. Among
other factors the opening of the
schools favors its spread, and parents
and teachers should be on the alert,
particularly when a child complains
of sore throat
Another point that should be OBJ
served is that diphtheria is more prev
alent in rural than in urban communi-
jties.
The disease is caused by germ,
the diphtheria bacillus, and it always
enters the throat or nose, and has a
special liking for the mucous mem
brane of the throat, nose and wind
pipe. Why?
Nobody knows. Why does the mis-
erable boil weevil seek the cotton boil
on which to feed his ugly carcass
Nobody knows.
Some day, somehow, some wise mar
will find out.
| The germ of diphtheria is transmit
ted directly from person to person b,
kissing. coughing o. sneezing drop
lets of mucous in the face; toys, pen
ellis, fingers, food put in the mouth o
the infected child and passed on t
the susceptible child.
Besides the mouthing OF the finger
with saliva and the use of the com
mon drinking cup, the mouth is put t
numberless improper uses, which ma.
4 result in the spread of infection. |
