The Danger of Grip and Pneumonia ‘ Neglected colds, during these violent changes of weather we are having, lead to grip and pneumonia, and these—if the patient survives | them—leave behind them shattered health and lingering ills which in- | vite .1t kinds of visiting disease. The safe thing to do when a cold or any throat trouble appears is to take Father John’s Medicine, and take it faithfully. It is whole- some and safe, being free from alcohol and injurious drugs. | | For more than sixty-five years Father John’s Medicine has been | the family medicine in thousands of homes, and it has the impressive | endorsements of physicians, clergy, hospitals and institutions because | of its merit and history. Father John's Medicine is not a patent medicine, but a physician’s prescription, for coughs, colds and throat troubles. Guaranteed.

REVERSES POSTAGE STAMP HEADS { SO ASTO DEFYEVEN BOILING WATER | BY HIRAM K. MODERWELL. (Special Correspondence of The Star and Chicago y News.) PARIS, December 15.—There are only half a dozen or so of his profes sion in the world. Three of them are in Paris, but he considers himself the most expert of all. He can be found every Thursday from 1 to 3 o'clock on the Avenue Marigny, near the corner of the Champs Elysees, if vou get his confidence he will tell you something of his life work. & He is a “repairer of postage stamps.” ‘What on earth, you ask, is the use of repairing postage stamps? Well, there is an old French stamp which was issued in quantity; only by mistake the first do or =0 were printed | with the head upside down. The | ordinary stamp of this issue now 1s The upside- to collectors for 7 f down one sells for 6,000. Do you see the point? Expert col- lectors have various methods of test- ing the genuinencss of the stami they buy. For instance, place them in_boiling water. It requires skill, indeed, to turn the head upside down and fasten it so that it will not come off in boiling water. And supreme skill deserves a gencrous reward. Changes Shades of Ink. There are many similar instanc There is an 1861 American five-cent stamp which was issued in two shades of pink. The darker shade brings 121 francs; the lighter brings 150 francs. Thereris an issue of Napoleon 11T, of which a few are very slightly different from the rest, and in the market that difference represents the difference between 6 francs and 10,000, Another French issue shows a micro- scopic_difference of 3.310 francs. My friend is competent to obliterate these trifling differences, either on h: own.account or to obligeé an acquaint- ance. He has turned many heads up- side down and has altered a number of colors. He is especially proud of LATE KING PETER TRUNK AND BEDSTEAD HIS WEALTH BELGRADE, December teresting details have come to light respecting the late King Peter, Serbia’s venerable ruler and the “grand old man” of Europe, who passed away in this city a short time ago. During his last illness the kihg asked frequently for his son Alex- andir. who found it impossible to be with him because of his own serious illness in Paris. He was much attached to the prince re- gent, and referred to him as “my little Aleck.” He had the fullest confidence in him, and, during the last years of his life, left the af- fairs of state entirely in his hands. He-had been especially anxious that his son should marry Prin- cess Olga, daughter of the Czar of Russia, but whatever prospect there was for the match disappear- ed in the murder of the beautiful princess by the bolsheviki. The king died a poor man. What- ever personal possessions he had were lost during the tragic retreat to Corfu in the grim days of 1915, when the German hordes overran the little Slav state. When the correspondent asked one of the late monarch’s, old friends if the king had left any- legacies, he re- plied: “Yes, a wooden trunk, a bedstead, a few ikons, a great character and an undying mem- ory.” In the years pregeding his -ill health it was one of the king's most cherished hopes that he might visit America., He was a great admirer of the energy, in- dustry and capacity 6f the people of the United States. He felt that Serbia owed a great deal to Amer- ica for its championship of the rights of the smaller nations, and especially for its support of Jugo- slavia’s claims at the Paris peace conference. The aged sovereign held former President Wilson in high esteem. i O ‘Throughout his _seventy-seven years King Peter was ultra-demo- ~cratic and simple in his tastes. He disliked ceremony and had a con- tempt for flattery and compliments. He insisted that his meals consist P ————— MAYOR ORDERED JAILED. 7.—In- roling TaxiDriyer. ALEXANDRIA, La., January 10.— A sentence ‘of Imprisonment in the parish jail for twenty-four hd#rs was imposed against Mayor John F. Folsy of Alexandria yesterday by Judge Hundley” of the city court, for al- leged contempt of court. Counsel_for the mayor gave notice they would apply to the state supreme court for a writ prohibiting the car- rying out of the sentence and the court announced that a reasonable length of time would be granted for that purpose. Judge Hundley recently cited the mayor to appear and show cause why he should not be punishéd for contempt for bis alleged action in paroling Ed_ Hooter, taxi driver, whom ‘the judge had sentenced on & charge of reckless driving. It was charged that the mayor and commis- sion council subsequently suspended the: jail sentence imposed upon Hooter. Contenlpt of Court Alleged ror Pa- | ng discovered a new speeles of fish. ky.

Only one item could have caused more exgitement—the discovery and sale of the most valuable postage stamp in the world, the 1847 issue of the Island of Maurice, which is of- 1ly quoted at 150,000 francs. That not the oldest in the world, for there is an English issue of 1540 which is fairly common. But it offers unrivaled opportunities to that prince of experts, the repairer of stamps. DIED POOR MAN; of only one dish. All his servants were peasant soldiers. His home in Belgrade was plain to the point of rudeness. When well_he always | attended personally to the gardens and the pouitry. Like most Slavs, he was extreme- 1y superstitious. - He considered | the number “13” fatal and_would never begin a project on Friday. When asked to explain his supe stition. he pointed out that if the numerals in each of the great years of Serbia’s destiny were counted up they would total “13” in each case. The king felt sure he was going to die in 1921, because the numerals 1, 9, 2, 1, totaled “13.” ®is prediction came’ true.

Decrease In the rate of.delinquency } * ‘among children of juvenile court age will be one of the objects sought in urging an increase in the playground space in the District of Columbia, ac- cording to delegates to the United Citizens' playground committee. The committee has before it for ,con- sideration the recent report of the children’s bureau on the playground facilities of the District. It was pointed out at a redent meet- ing of the playgtounds committee that for every 100 children from seven to sixteen years of age the number of children coming before the Juvenile Court in_ official and unofficial hear- { ings in the year ended June 30, 192 was 3.8. The percentage of delin- quency among white children was 2.5, while among colored children it was 6.8, almost three times as high. Bureau's Figures Quoted. Figures compiled by the children's bureau show Washington to have a higher rate of delinquency than Bos- ton, New Orleans, Seattle or Buffalo. in which surveys have been made. By | precincts the sixth precinct has the ( highest rate of delinquency, accord- ing to figures made public today by Mrs. Lucy R. Swanton, chairman of the playground commitice, The total rate of delinquency in the gixth pre- cinct, judged by a recent survey, was 4.1. Of this the rate among the Whllc! children was 2.9, ana among the color- ed chilgren 7. ignificance is added to these figures, according to the play- grounds committee, by the fact that the sixth precinct mas no municipal playground. The same is true of the first precinct, although the delin- quency rate for this precinct is not reported. Second Precinct Rate. Police precinet No. 2, which has one municipal plavground, has a delin- quency rate of 3.3, of which the white rate 1Is 2.1. The fourth precinct, which has three playgrounds, includ- ing the large Cardoza playground, has a delinquency rate of 3.5, of which the white children rate is 2.1 and the colored, 5.6 per 100 children. The united citizens' playground committee also is seeking, as a purely temporary measure, the roping off of certain streets in the congested areas of the city to provide children with much needed play space during parts of the day. To do this, it is pointed out, police permission must be ob- | tained, as there is an ordinance against children playing in the | streets. Play space has been made | available in streets in the Stanton Park section, however, it is claimed | by Don H.\York of the Trinidad Citi- zens’ Assoclation. g G WOMAN GIVEN $13,466 VERDICT AGAINST DOCTOR Told She Would Die and Taken Home in Undertaker's Wagon.
