An attack of Fever at
this time of year, with
Quinine as the treat
ment, means a week or
ten days lost from Busi

It means ten days of
unhappiness for you and
ten days of hard work
and anxiety for those
who love you.
This is putting it in its
Very happiest aspect. It
might mean your death,
and it often means a

I always feel sorry for the family that is Wedded to the plan of subjecting

The process is slow. The result uncertain. The treatment disappointing.
Johnsons Tonic has two cardinal points that should immediately common

it to every thinking man in this country. •
First of all, it is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless under all cir*

. Second, it is quick; it acts at once. In 30 minutes after its administration,
it enters the blood and bfgmijto undo the mischief caused by Malaria.

Johnson’s Tonic is a wonderful medicine. It is not mere merchandise. It
Is superb. No remedy in the whole domain of Materia Medica is more positive
In its action and unfailing in its results.
It will cure. It will cure every tima It will cure every case of Fever,

GOVERNOR BECKHAM’8 REPLY
Regarding Proposed Abiorption of
& N. by Southern.
Imuisvlile, ky„ April 16,—The Post
today says; Governor ,J. C. W. Beck
bam Was asked if he would take any
action to prevent the absorption of the
Louisville and Nashville road by the
8outherb railroad if such an attempt
was made. He said:
"1 have considered the matter, but
1 am pot rendy to state at this time
what steps I will take. My action will
be governed by the law of this state
In jtyis connection, and it I* well
known wriat tills law Is.”
The law Is os follows:
“No railroad, telegraph, telephone,
bridge or common carrier • company
shall consolidate its capital' stock,
franchises or projierty or pool earn
ings, in Whole or In part, with any rail
road, telegraph, telephone, bridge or
common carrier company owning a
parallel or competing line or structure,
or acquire by purchase, lease or other
wise any ftarallel or competing line or
structure, or operate the same; nor
shall any railroad company or other
common carrier companies make any
contract with the owners of any ves
sel that leaves or makes port In this
state or any common carrier by which
combination or contract the earnings
of the one doing the carrying are shar
ed .by the one not doing the carrying. 1
Horse Sense.
"Any fool can take a horse to water,
but it takes a wise man to make him
drink,” says the proverb. The bone
eats when hungry and drinks when
thirsty. A man cats and drinks by the
clock, without re*
gard To the needs of
nature. Because of
caceless eating and
drinking "stomach
m*
trouble” is one- of
commonest of dis
cerns. Sour end bit

dizziness, headache,

symptoms mark the

littlldlngs were struck by lightning.
Tl|e (Vie brigade was summoned to up-
aurds of'3011;places to extinguish fires

The water was so deep around the
approaches to the railroad station on
Friedrichs street that It was Impos
sible to reach the depot. At the Lehrte
station some uf the waiting rooms had
to be abandoned.
A portion of the.embankment of the
Potsdam railroad near Schoenburg was
swept away, and similar damage to the
circular railroad necessitated a
pension of traffic.
The streets were so flooded that
the street cars in several districts
were stopped. The roads were almost
Ifnpassable for pedestrians, and conse
quently the schools were rlosed. The
Ihuseiim was considerably damaged.
The decorative portions of many
buildings and the statues In the House
squares were seriously dsmaged by
hell, which for a time fell most hear
lly.

Parties most Interested declined with

John W. Gstes refused to he Inter
viewed, the Belmont Interests had
nothing to say and Southern railway
representatives were equally uncom

of last Saturday, Including that be

regarded with more than a little sig
nificance- by students of the situation.
