Is There Railroad
Strike on the Moon3
Such a Thing Is Possible, According
To Eminent Astronomer.

The high cost of living, threatened
railroad strikes and unemployment
may be" worrying the inhabitants of
the moon, or Mars or Venus, to the
same extent that they are bothering
the inhabitants of the planet on which
we live, according to the scientific
theories of David E. MADDEN, astrono-
mer, who delivered lecture before a
meeting of the Academy of Science
and Letters. Mr.. Hadden's subject was,
chronological Evidences of Evolu-
ton"
There is no reason to doubt that
tens Of millions of miles distant from
the earth there are countless planets
which are the abode OF life" he said,
in speaking on the habitability of 9TH
er worlds and quoting as his authori-
ty Prof w. w. Campbell, director Of
Lick observatory which is situated in
San Jose, Cal
The flowers may bloom in the
spring in the moon, too. for according
to another astronomer quoted, Prof,
w. H. Pickering, OF Jamaica, West
Indies, there is evidence of vegetable
life in existence in the moon"
Mr.. MADDEN developed the idea that
the spiral nebulae i'll the heavens are
remote universes, similar to our own
universe, and embrace a solar system
and a milky way.

A Dawson Man Gives Evidence.
His Testimony Will Interest Every
Dawson Reader.

The value of local evidence is indis-
putable. 1t is the kind of evidence we
accept as true because we know we
can prove it for ourselves. There has
been plenty of such evidence in Daw-
son papers lately, and this straightfor-
ward testimony has established con-
hdence in the minds of Dawson people
that will not be easily shaken. Ask
your neighbor.
H. L. Britt, district agent Federal
Casualty Co., 101 Center street, Daw-
son, says: Il suffered from kidney
trouble and had constant, sharp pains
in the small of my back | couldn't
bend over to put on my shoes and the
least move l made almost drove me
frantic with pain. Dizzy spells came
over me suddenly and | became so
weak I couldn't stand. My kidneys
didn't act right and the secretions con-
tanned sediment. Doan's Kidney Pills
were recommended to me and | got
some at Lees Drug Store. They helped
me from the start, and four boxes
freed me from the terrible pain in my
back, regulated my kidneys and all
the other troubles were removed"

Senator Watson Assails
The Money Monopoly
Georgian Delivered Eloquent Address
To Big Audience

ATLANTA, Ga.-A special dis
pacth to the Atlanta Constitution from
its Washington representative says
that Senator Thomas +. Watson, OF
Georgia, speaking on the tax bill before
chamber we'll filled with colleagues
on both sides, with hundreds OF audi
tors in the galleries, delivered one OF
the most eloquent speeches recently
heard in the senate in denunCiation OF
money monopoly and the alleged
greed and avarice of the money pow
err. The Georgian, warming up to his
subject after the usual preliminary OF
statistics and quotations from reports
to sustain his position, walked slowly
down the aisle from his seat, and burst
into thirty minutes OF rare eloquence,
declaring that the most powerful
speeches recorded in history, the
strongest writings of economists, the
most classic utterances of the great,
outstanding friends of the common
people in all time had been in their
protests to the robbery of the masses
by the manipulators of money and
that even Christ himself set the eX-
ample for the world by running the
urerers from the temple.
Senator Watson spoke particularly
in opposition to the great profits accru--
ed by the various regional banks of
the federal reserve system, as shown
by the treasury department, and in OPP
position to the large salaries paid and
expenses incurred in the management
of those banks, the salaries being alb
normal, he said, in comparison with
other governmental salaries, or the
salaries of like officials in private in
stitutions. He attacked the federal
board for its alleged contraction Of
the currency, demanded that the idle
gold be put into circulation and Sc
verely raped the present as well rs
the former administration fiscal poll
cy.
Whether agreeing with the Georgia
senator or not, the fact remains he
spoke with great force and held the
attention of the senate as few speak
ers do.

SILVER TEA GIVEN AT
THE SCHOOL AUDITORIUM

One of the most delightful events
of the season was the silver tea given
by the Community Club for the bene-
fit of the domestic science and art
class of the public school. The domes-
tic science and art room was beauti-
fully decorated with pot flowers. The
girls in their very attractive costumes
were there to welcome and serve the
guests. The president of the Commu-
nifty Club, Mrs. Glynn Sears, had ar
ranged an interesting program as fol-
lows: Miscellaneous menu-Old time
recitation and songs, spelling bee. AT
ter the program, which was thorough
1y enjoyed by all who were present,
the guests were served delicious tea
and sandwiches, which had been pre-
viously prepared by the class and
teachers. About $40 was realized.

Devil is coming to visit you.

Women Are Working Now
To Lose Their Summer an
Druggists Having Big Sales of Bleach
es and Liquid Powders.

Druggists Having Big Sales OF Bleach
es and Liquid Powders.
It's the last tan of summer-and
under the influence of bleaches and
creams it is fast disappearing.
Now comes the most critical time
of the year for milady With the win
ter season fast approaching, and her
new evening gowns lower than ever,
she is availing herself of the few last
days of respite to get rid of that sum-
mer tan that her back and shoulders
may shine pearly white like those of
her less athletic sisters.
The ardent lover of the great
outdoor life has a serious problem to
face, for to don a party gown with the
outlines of that carefully assumed coat
of tan showing just where the tulle
and lace leave off is pathetic sight
indeed.
Thus it is that druggists throughout
the city report record sales of the va
ious bleaches and liquid powders that
cover, if they do not erase, the telltale
traces of last summers sun.

HOW NOT TO TAKE COLD.

Some persons are subject to frequent
colds, while others seldom, if ever
have a cold. You will find that the lat
ter take good care of themselves. They
take a shower or cold sponge bath ev-
cry day in a warm room, avoid over
heated rooms, sleep with a window
open or partly open, avoid excuses,
over eating, becoming over heated and
then chilled and getting the feet wet.
Then when they feel the first indica-
ton OF cold they take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy without delay and it is
soon over.-adv.
