When they asked the director of the
factory what was behind the wall he

The wall was torn down and the

Might Have Caved In.
London has just narrowly escaped a
great peril, the possible caving In Of
Oxford Circus, the shopping center Of
the West End, says story circulated
by news agency. The danger Of the
disaster was known only to contrac-
tors and workers underground. They
were altering an exit from the Oxford
Circus tube station so as to make an
entrance into business building
when the contractors discovered bed
Of little unknown tributary Of the
Thames river which was covered over
when Regent street was made.
They also found, to their amaze.
ment and CONSERVATION, that they were
meeting the direct "lines Of vibra-
ton" of the two underground tubes,
the Central London and the Bakerloo.
The news agency says that they
realized that If the excavations con-
tinued the whole of Oxford Circus
might be literally precipitated under.
ground. There were perilous days and
Iaborious nights occupied in under
pinning the buildings above ground
and overcoming the side pressure
which was being felt.
In place Of the shifting sands of the
old river bed there was constructed
a retaining wall Of cement, which, 1t
Is declared, has made the great shop
ping center more secure than at any
time since the river flowed down the
slopes of the present Regent street.

Preventative Medicine

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with. often follows a
cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on,
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
first indication of cold appears so as
to get rid of it with the least possible
delay. 1t is folly to risk an attack of
pneumonia when this remedy may be
obtained 70 o trifle.
