Influenza, Colds,
Pneumonia,
Sore Throat
Spreading Throughout the
Country.

Many are finding relief from in
fluenza, Colds, Sore Throat and per-
haps preventing Pneumonia, it is said,
by the use Of Miller's Antiseptic Oil
(known as Snake 0il). Its great
penetrating, pain-relieving qualities
insure almost instant relief when APP
piled freely on the chest, or throat
well creased when first symptoms
arise. The Oil penetrates through
to the affected parts and tends to
open up the air passages, making
breathing more easy, relieving the
pains. And for the cough few
drops on a little sugar usually brings
prompt relief. Don't fail to have a
bottle on hand when the attack
comes on, and if used according to
directions results are assured, or your
money refunded. On sale at Cen.

TROOPS INlREVOLT
Recorded Cases of Mutiny in
British Army.
Have Been Rare in Recent Years
Though War Office Archives Con-
tain Accounts of Uprisings
That Were Serious.

With the exception of the recent
rehabilitation troubles, mutinous dem
onstrations by soldiers of the British
army have been, happily, rare in mod
ern times, though they were not by
any means infrequent in the bad cid
days of the lash and the triangle.
One of the most serious of these out
breaks was that which occurred in the
Black Watch, over 100 years ago, in
connection with which three men were
shot in the mOat of the tower of Lon
don.
The duke of Wellington had to deal,
too, with several of these outbreaks
during the Peninsular war, and his
methods, for the most part, were
equally drastic.
1t was his way, however, to deal
lightly with mere petulant outbursts.
Thus, when the Twelfth Lancers mis-
behaved in the summer of 1872 by re-
fusing to turn out for church parade,
he decreed that the entire regiment
should be paraded every evening at 10
O'Clock, and stand at attention during
the playing of five hymns by the band.
No limit was set to the duration of
the order, and the custom, as it event
ually became, was continued up to
1912, when it was abolished. after
having lasted exactly 100 years.
Far more serious notice was taken
by the authorities of a mutiny which
broke out among the Nineteenth Hus-
sars at the Curragh camp in Novem-
her, 1877. The trouble began through
discomfort with certain officers in con-
nection with extra duty No fewer
than Is of the malcontents were ar
rested and tried before a general
courtmartial, the sentences ranging
from five to eight years penal servi-
tude.
Very tragic was the outcome Of a
mutiny which broke out among the
garrison of Malta in April, 1907. The
malcontents seized Fort Ricasoli, over
looking the grand harbor where they
were besieged by loyal troops. Event
TALLY, rather than surrender they fired
| the magazine and all persisted.
Probably, however, the most danger
Gus instance of wholesale disaffection
| occurred in 1859 among the British
troops then serving in India. The
disaffected men had enlisted to serve
in the Old East India company. Yet,
when the company ceased to exist,
these men, by stroke of the pen,
were incorporated into the regular
British army.
They objected, and regiment after
regiment refused to obey orders. In
the end the government was compelled
to accede to their demands, when
some 10000 men claimed their dis
charge, and were sent home to Eng
land.

Statistics Not Always Riuht.

Statistics, though often interesting,
are sometimes most misleading and
futile. For example, It is interesting
to know from the census bureau the
nnInber of prison commitments among
the foreign-bOrn population of the
United States, but it would be most
unsafe to base any congratulations on
them, for the number of commitments
to prison is no indication of the num-
Der Of crimes committed, and there
are many more criminals at large than
behind the bars. Those in prison were
not clever enough to escape. They
got caught. Those at large were able
to commit their crimes and elude de-
lection. The figures for America prob
ably are not very different. There IS
per cent of the criminals are at large.
1t is fair to assume that this So per
cent is more intelligent than the Is
per cent that got caught. Therefore
the Is per cent for which the statistics
are given is a highly selected group,
and any conclusions based upon such
statistics are untrustworthy as applied
to criminals in general, however val
liable they may be as to the compare
lively small number that are in Jail.

The Government Your Banker.

In response to the desire of a num-
Der of soldiers who are being released
from the army, Col. Arthur Woods, as
sistant to the secretary of war, has ar
ranged facilities for discharged men
to deposit part of their funds at the
camp and have them transferred to
banks in their home towns. Local
clearing houses in the vicinity of the
twenty-three rehabilitation camps are
appointing agents TO handle these
funds and will transfer them free of
charge TO whatever bank the soldier
may designate. This gives the released
soldiers an opportunity to safeguard
such of their funds as they choose, and
to have them forwarded free wherever
they wish.

Thankful for Small Favors,

The other evening a young matron

a great part OF the lecture. At it's
end she turned to the defense Of her
