THE PNEUMONIA MONTH

March is typical pneumonia month
and usually gives a high rate of
mortality for the diesase. After a
long and hard winter, the system loses
much of its resistance and people grow
careless. When every cold, no matter
how slight, is given prompt and in
telligent attention, there is much less
danger of pneumonia. 1t should be
borne in mind that pneumonia is a
germ disease and breeds in the throat.

expectorant and cleans out the germ

a cold but prevents it's resulting in

A car, he admits, becomes overhead
ed very quickly when there is no
liquid in the radiator. He thought of
putting a lock on the pet-cock so that
the whisky could not be drainsd out
by the over-thirsty. But that would
MT entirely solve the problem. He
probably would find a bunch Of
straws scattered about the floor OF
the garage and his radiator dry just
the same.
The possibility of obtaining from
the government one or two of the ma
rines who are guarding the mails 10
act as guard for the car was ais0 dis
carded by Miller after a careful con-
sideration. Marines are human.
Miller believes the only efficient quart
would be William Jennings Bryan.
So perhaps the sheriff will just have
to take a chance.
The plan for utilizing the whisky
followed close upon Miler's idea of
utilizing confiscated stills. The stills
are stripped of their appurtenances
and used for. cooking utensils at the
county jail. Food is cooked there in
such large quantities that large uten-
sils are necessary to the rapid, eff
cient and practical fulfillment of the
domestic art.
There are between rs and 80 gall
Ions of good OF corn in the booze
room at the court house which will
be used in the radiators of the county
cars, it was said. This will save buy
ing alcohol and the use of the stills
will eliminate the necessity of buying
many cooking utensils. :

SALE ON STAMPS
Collectors of World Create Bar
gain Demand for Series.
But U. S. Shanghai P. o. Only
Sells 'Em at Times.

Shanghai, Nov. 19.-The United
States postal agency at Shanghai is
probably the only American postoffice
that ever held what may be called a
bargain sale in stamps This hap
pened this fall and was made posi-
Bile by a fluctuation in the rate of ex-
change
About year ago as a measure of
convenience for the public the Ameri-
can postoffice placed on sale stamps
that could be purchased in the cur
rency Of the country, based in value
upon the Mexican dollar.
These new stamps called surcharge
stamps merely were the ordinary two
cent and other stamps, but they bore
in black letters on their face-for the
o-centers-the words Shanghai &c
China"
Soon after these stamps were is
sued, by reason of a fluctuation in the
rate of money exchange the sale of the
surcharge stamps had to be stopped.
Early this fall the money exchange
rate again wentto a point at which, it
was possible again to place these
stamps on sale and promptly a rush
followed to buy them. The reason
was the anxiety of collectors thruout
the wtrld to obtain sets of the stamps.
1t was found that while complete
set of stamps could be purchased at
the American postOffice in Shanghai
for Mex s5.74. the same sets were
being sold by collectors in New York
at a rate of Gold $40 and in London
at three pounds.
The American postoffice in ShanG-
hal is the only distributing office in
the world where these stamps may be-
obtained and they are issued from
the Shanghai office only when the ex-
change rate warrants their sale

The jacket or coat is of particular
interest in that it. has a long history.
over the entire surface of the jacket
is woven in beads the story of the
Indian warrior Lone Wolf. He be-
longed to the Sioux tribe and as is the
way of all mankind, even Indians fell
in love with an Indian girl. Another
Sioux wanted the girl and Lone Wolf
killed him in a fight, the government
imposing on him the penalty of being
banished to the South Dakota Indian

the girl with him and after they were
married she very patiently set to work
to weave all the history of her brave

1t is said that in later years Lone

As usual, the man in the street got
the worst of It when Trap and Meade,

from their windows in the Smith
building at 1 o'clock this afternoon.

turkeys would be liberated till every
boy who had a club had been dis
armed, and that there was to be no
fighting. pulling and hauling over the
birds. There was cruelty enough in
the performance, as far as the turkeys
were concerned. without the pulling
and hauling.
Four of the turkeys flew directly
across Ninth street into the windows
of Pelletier's, and were hauled off the
lodges by shoppers or employees. One
OF the birds landed directly on the
window ledge outside the office of j.
B. Walker, manager of the store, and
was invited inside.
Mrs. Frank Strawn, S25 Tyler street,
an employe of Pelletier's. secured an
other turkey by the expedient of
crawling out of a third story window
and along a ledge to where she could
reach the disguised fowl. I
Several of the turkeys had to be
thrown from the windows of the
Smith building more than once. The
first one flew in a short circle. and
fought its way into the same window
from which it had been thrown. Some
perched on lodges and in electric
wires till agile climbers secured them.
W. B. Wood, employed by the Pan
kin Dairy company. got not only a
turkey, but all the trimmings. The
proprietor of the dairy informed his
employees that if one of them was
lucky enough to get a bird, the trim
