Tt may be pleasant, may often seem attractive, but back of all the pleasunt atmosphere there is @anger! This danger cowes in seme form of sick- Bess. Almost any sickness sturts with a cold or a ebill caused by the sluggish action of the system. That is why so many pecple just now complain of red feelings, pains in the muscles and boues, loss Bf appetite, spring fever and similar troubles. The following is good advice from # prominent Medical journal: “Pneumonia and other dangerous tomplairts, which result from a neglected coid, ean always be avoided if a timely remedy 1s | taken. When chilly sensations are felt they should be stopped immediately or serious consequences Will follow. There is only one way known to the World of avoiding a cold or ehills, and that is to use a good, pure, strong stimulant. Nothing ordinary will do. It must be something sure in its action and scientifically prepared. For this rea- son nothing has ever equaled Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky, which is acknowledged today by physi ¢fans and sctentific men to be the only pure medic- inal whisky ou the market. This valuable advice may be profitably followed | by many people who are suffering today from the early effects of cold. chills or possibly grip in its advanced stages.

Builders’ Exchange Hall A DESPERATE FIGHT A Suspected Burglar Who Shows Signs of Insanity. Fought His Captors Desperately With a Knife—Tied and Locked in a Cell. The “Jack the Slasher” scare is revived almcst every time a burglar or suspicious person is found, especially in the suburban villages or in other sections of the county, and at an early hour this morning the res- ideats of Brightwood averue near Battle cemetery were trested to a lively scene upon the appearance of one of the supposed or would-be mysterious “Jacks.” ‘A colored man, unknown in that section, appeared in Wood’s saloon a few moments before midnight. He appeared as though he had done considerable tramping, and carried under his arm a large bundle. Give me a drink,” was the order he gave. “Where’s your money?” inquired the man behind the bar. “Oh, never mind that,” said the man; “my | brother’s coming along behind me, and he'll pay the bill.” “That racket don't work here.” The negro showed signs of a disordered brain or some temporary mental trouble caused by something other than whisky, and his conduct was so suspicious that two colored men in the place thought they | would watch and see what he would do. Leaving the store, the man strolled leis- urely along the road until he reached the residence of Mr. Cuvier Green, and then he passed through the front gate and went as far _as the door. in Mr. Green's house, and this made the in- It Will Be Ladie: Day.
