We Still Have Many Good Bargains Left Everything Reduced _-values $8.00 to $40.00 COATS from $1.00 to on through worry, lack of sleep carelessness. Dr. Brophy spoke as follows: At this season of the year the com- mon diseases which afflict us are grip, tonsillitis, pneumonia and rheumatism. It is,a noticeable fact that these ail- ments are prevalent at a time when the temperature changes rapidly and when the ground is covered with slush or is in a thawing condition. Most cases of sickness of the forms above mentioned are due to a weak- ened physical condition and careless- ness on the part of the individual. Probably the three things that con- tribute most to the now-resisting state of the human being are worry, lack of sleep and improper or insufficlent, nourishment and clothing. Of course, if worry is due to some specific and definite state of affairs, that is something which is real and discoverable it is a difficult matter to rid one's mind of worry until those definite causes has been removed. But there are many people who worry for no reason which they can point out and many times it is because of lack of exercise or amusement that such a state exists. They put in a steady grind at the same old thing whereas an oconsiogal visit to the theatrs or & game of billiz»ds or bowling with an evening oW and then given to light reading will prove of great benefit. Music is another form of recreation which is often neglected by most of a large number of people. If_one is obliged to arise at 6 a. m. daily and does not go to bed until midnight, and this Is long continued, such a person may become a victim to the common winter diseases. For the majority people eight or mine hours sleep should be obtained out of every 24 hours. Many individuals waste one or two hours time every night by retiring with cold feet and trying to fall asleep in such a con- ditlen, whereas a hot foot bath just before going to bed or the application of a hot water bag or bottle to the feet will enable most of them to fall into slumber in'a short time. Like- wise a cup of warm milk or broth may be_of assistance. Many cases of the above named dis- orders can be traced to wet and cold feet, contracted as a result of lack of protection of these important mem- bers of our bodies. It is cheaper to purchase and wear a good pair of rub- bers or shoes than it is to g0 out on damp and slushy days with worn-out or thin shoes, which may result in a long illness or death. If you or your children should be unfortunate anough to fall a victim to wet and cold feet see to it that a hot foot bath follows as soon as possible. Many mersons leave a warm room or building and stand around the yard or on_the street with no more clothing on than they. wore while inside and certainly thev are inviting _trouble. Neglect to attend to the first symp- toms of grip, namely cough, sneezing, headache, pains in the limbs, vomitinz or sore throat, etc.—paves the way for an attack of pneumonia which may result in death. Attacks of rheumatism can be often prevented by proper attention to the teeth as it is a well known fact that diseased teeth serve as storehouse for living organisms which _enter the blood stream and which, deposited in the joints, cause rheumatism. Dis- eased tonsils act in like manner. Cer- tainly, rheumatism should be prevent- ed if possible because numerous cases of heart disease which manifest them- selves in late life have been caused by attacks of rheumatism suffered many years before. Infected teeth may also be the cause of enlarged and in- flamed glands, especially of the neck and attacks of appendicitis may re- sult from the same agency. In fact, it can easily be seen that with the blood constantly absorbing putrid mn terial and living organisms from the tonsils as well as from the teeth that numerous other disorders may be pro- duced outside of the weil known and abundant cases of stomach disturb- ances. Some of the very severe at- tacks of facial neuralgia are cured by treatment of infected teeth and mark- ed irritabillty of the nervous system is often relieved or done away with after the teeth have been put in a healthy condition. When we have grip, pneumonia or tonsilitis in a_member of the family he should be isolated from the others The dishes and as much as possible. all eating or drinking utensils which he uses must be kept for him alone $2000__ " ____ Dr. Brophy’s talk was most timely as this is the time of year when pecple are subject to certain diseases brought Taken From a &l?‘um Chicago, Jan. - 9.—The workings of an alleged police graft system are, in the belief of State’s Attorney Maclay #oyne, revealed in a book” taken from Police Llunt. Augustus White, whose arrest hl. companions the prelude arrest last night of Chief of Polloe C. C. Healey at the state’s at- torney’s orders. Confessions have been obtained from some of the men. now in custody, State’s Attorney Hoyne announced to- day. The list of alleged shady hotels, gambling houses and resorts, togeth- er with cryptic notations on the pages of the green book were regarded to- day by the prosecutor clearly prov- ing allegations of wrong-doing lodged the police. The little book enumlerated Jthe places under he ‘Hotels,” “sa- loons,” “gambling,” -chlel’s list,” “can be l'llded-." ‘‘can’t be raid " “tran- scient ~ houses” asd “disorderly houses.” ‘were figures In front of addresses such as 40 and 150 and following ad- dresses so distinguished were addi- tional notes reading “one way” “two ways,” or “three ways.” These no- tatlons were held by the state's attor- ney to show the amount of protection money paid by the places indicated. The interpretation placed on the “chief’s list’ by the prosecutor was that there was no division of pay- ments in this list, they all going to the head of the police department. The “three ways” division accord- ing to the prosecutor meant that the protection money was to be divided between Thomas Costello, classed as a go-between; “Mike D, Pike,” Heitler, known as the Boss of the “West Side levee” and Willlam Skidmore, a sa- loon keeper, who were arrested with Lieut. White. Lieut. White, Mr. Hoyne sald, in- sisted that the book was merely a record kept of the disreputable places in the police district, of which he as- sumed command several weeks ago. Chief Healy whose resignation was presented to the mayor last month, said today he had placed the entire matter in the hands of his attirney. “Beyond declaring my innocence of these charges, I have nothing to sag’ he said. POSTOFFICE APPROPRIATION IS BEFORE THE HOUSE. It Carries $325553,000—Lively Debate is Anticipated. ‘Washington, Jan. 9.—The annual postoffice appropriation bill, carrying $326,553,000, was taken up in the house today, with prospects of a lively debate over its provisions for Pennsyl- vania local postage, for curtailment of pneumatic tube service, and for crea- tion of a zone system and increased rates for second class mail matter. Representative Conry of New York, democrat, opening the first against the pneumatic tube curtailment pro- posal, criticized Postmaster General Burleson for predicti “an insidious lobby might become active” against his recommendation that pneumatic service in Brooklyn and Manhattan be partially suspended. $250,000 Fire in St. Paul.

After his recovery until they have been boiled for three-fourths of an hour at least. Discharges from the nose, eyes and month should be destroyed eithe by using cloths for their receptive, which should be burned, or by mixing them (the discharges) with a strong antiseptic solution for one hour. The custom, which some people have, of placing antiseptic solutions in dishes around the room, or burning various materials which produce ill-smelling gases, is not a safeguard against the spread of disease. In summarizing I will state that worry, lack of sleep and carelessness about clothing the body, especially the feet, should be guarded asainst. The teeth and tonsils should be in a heal- thy condition and the discharges which contain the specific cause of these diseases should be destroyed in order to prevent the illness from spreading through the members of the family.

Thaw and in which bitter partisan- ship was engendered as to whether he was justly or injustly kept in Mattea- wan, he was declared sane by a jury in habaeas corpus proceeding in the lat- ter part of 1915 and released by a court order. Met Gump at Long Beach, Cal. According to the information laid before the district attorney, it was toward the end of 1915 that Thaw first met and became interested in Gump. He had gone to California following his release here to attend the Panama Pacific exposition at San Francisco and later went to the southern part of the state, spending some time at Long Beach, Cal, where he met Gump at an ice cream parlor. Gump's mother and father, Fred Gump, who is said to be a manufact- urer of leather trunks in Kansas City, were with the boy at Long Beach and made no objection to their son’s ac- quantanceship with Thaw, the district attorney was informed. Mother Answered Letter for Son. After Thaw left California he con- tinued to correspond with Gump, ac- cording to the information given the district attorney by Mr. Walsh. These letters, Mr. Walsh said, warned the boy not to show them to anyone, but he let his mother read them and she answered them for him. The exchange of letters continud through 1916, Thaw expressing great interest in the boy's future and a wish to pay for his-edu- cation abroad. Although proffers of money by Thaw were refused, the boy at last came on to New York and went to Thaw's ho- tel, where it is alleged the assault took place. Invited Boy to Come to New York. Before last Christmas Thaw write Gump inviting him to come to New York, Mr. Walsh told the district at- torney ,and the boy did so. He ar- rived on the evening of Christmas day, left his baggage at Thaw’s rooms in a hotel and the two went to a theatre and later returned to he rooms. Young Gump told the _prosecutor that when they reached the apart- ment Thaw attacked him with a whip. The boy said he screamed but no one responded to his cries. He was beat- en nearly into insensibility and was twice again beaten during the night, according to his story. Boy Was Terrorized. In the morning, the boy said, he sent for w walk with O'Byrnes was and the two went through the Bronx zoo, returning later to Thaw’'s rooms. The boy sald he was terrorized and was afraid to attempt to call the police. Body Marked With Welts. That afternoon the day after Christmas, Gump, said, he went down- stairs on a pretext and ran from the hotel and boarded a train for Kansas City, by way of St. Louis. There he displayed his body, marked with welts on arms and back, and legs, he said to his parents and to his parents andn to Mr. Walsh and had also shown his injuries to the conductor on the train. Evidence of Thaw’s Presence. When the prosecutor heard the stories of Gump and Mr. Walsh, he went to the hotel where Thaw stayed and obtained from the management telephone slips and other records, to provide legal proof of Thaw’s presence here on the days mentioned in the boy’s story. Hotel employes were questioned and agreed to appear be- fore the grand jury. Thaw’s Whereabouts Not Known. On Saturday, the authorities re- ceived intimations that Thaw was coming to New York, that he was in Washington and also that he was in Philadelphia. The railroad terminals here were watched and he was not seen, although the district attorney learned Thaw arrived here and stop- ped at a different hotel than the one where he usually lodged. Meanwhile Detective Cuniffre went to Washing- [ton and Detective Barney Flood to Philadelphia. Flood was one of the detectives who went to New Hamp- shire while Thaw was making his un- successful fight there against extra- dition to New Hampshire while Thaw was making his unsuccessful fight there against extradition to New York. Stanford White Murder Recalled. Thaw, who is a member of a wealthy Pittsburgh family, shot and killed Stanford White, a noted architect in the midst of a crowd at Madison Square Garden roof garden in June, 1906. He was incited to the act, he said, by the confession his wife, Ev- elyn Nesbit, a chorus girl, made to him owing to treatment by White previous to the marriage. Two trials for murder followed, the second of which resulted in ac- quittal on the ground of insanity. After his commitment to the asylum Thaw began a series of attempts to obtain his librty through habaes cor- pus proceedings in which he sought to have himself declared sane. Failing in this, he made his escaps from the asylum and fled by automobile and train to Canada, where he was arrest- ed and flnally “deported into New Hampshire by the Canadian immigra- tion authorities. He resisted extradition from New Hampshire to this state, but was fin- ally brought back to be later released.

Barney Flood, the New York detec- tive who assisted in making the ar- rest, however, stated tonight that the description he had of O'Byrnes fits the prisorer in all detai’s and that he is convinced he is the man wanted. In support of this belief Flood said that the police had found in the prisoner' pocket & telegram dated December 23 from the authoritles of Long B: Calif., replying to a message alle, to have been sent by Thaw scexing information as to the whereabouts of the Gump boy.

Y.—It is conservative- Iy estimated that over five million peo- ple daily in this country alone are tak- ing Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results bave been reported from its use both by doctors and laymen, that a number of physicians in , various parts of the country have been asked to explain why they prescribe it 8o ex- tensively, and why it apparently pro- duces so much better results than were obtained from the old forms of inor- ganic iron. Extracts from some of the letters received are given below: Dr. King, a New York physician and author says: ‘“There can be no vig- orous iron men without iron. Pallor means anaemia. Anaemia means iron deficiency. The skin of anaemic men and women is pale. The flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory fails and they often become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks. In the most common foods of Ameri- ca, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spa- ghetti, tapioca, sago, farina, deger- minated_cornmeal, no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have re- moved the iron of Mother Earth these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste-pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked is re- sponsible for another grave iron loss. Therefore, if you wish +to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to.a ripe age, you must supply the iron de- ficlency in your food by using some form of organic iron just ‘as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt. Dr. Sauer, a Boston physiclan who has studied widely in both this coun- try and in prominent Buropean Medi- cal Institutions says: “As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only throw away pa- tent medicines and nauseoussconcoc- tions and take simple Nuxated Iron, I am convinced that the lives of thous- ands of persons might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kidney, liver and heart troubles, etc. 'The real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by lack of iron in the blood.” Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and Aeked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. 1 was astonished to find him with a_blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact a young man he really ‘was thstanding his -gs. he sald, was taking fron— nuxated_iron had filled him w-uh re- newed life.

Iron is absolutely necessary to en- able your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good, and as a conse- quence you become weak, pale and sickly-looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in irom. If you are not strong or well you owe lt to yourself to make the following test: see how long you can work or how far you can walk without becom- ing tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run- down people who were ailing all the while double their strength and endur- ance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia. liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen davs' time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don’t take the old forms of re- duced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a’few cents. The iron demanded by Mother Nature for the red coloring matter in the blood of her children is, alas! not that kind of fron. You must take iron ™ a form that can be easily absorbed and as- simflated to do you any good, other- wise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete and prize-fighter has won the day simply* because he knew the secret of great strenzth and en- durance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray; while many another has gone down in in- gflorlou! de!eat simply for the lack of fron.” Dr. V.

I have taken it myself and given it to my pati- ents with most sur- prising and satisfactory results.

Of late, thers has been brought to my attention, Nuxated iron.
