Prevent
Prevention is always better than
euro, even when cure is possible.
Hut so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes tho
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is " the first law
of nature." Pneumonia can bo pre
vent m1 and is often cured by thouso
of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
"Some years ago 1 had a sevcro cold and
was threatened with pneumonia. 1 could
noither oat nor sleep, and was In a wretched
condition. I procured a Lottie of Ayer's
Cherry l'cctoral and took it according to the
directions, and at the end of fifteen daysw us
as well and pound as before the attack. I
have recommended It In many cases of pneu
monia since, and have never known it to fail
In effecting a cure."
JOHN HENUY, St. Joseph, La.
"I was attacked with n cold that settled
on my lungs, and defied tho skill of my phy
sicians so that they considered me incurable.
At last I began to use A) er's Cherry l'cctoral
and was entirely cured after having taken
two bottles."

The fifty. yard foot race betweon C. 0. H
Klrlln, of town, and Michael Salmon, of
Munanoy City, which was to havo taken
placo in tho lattortown on Saturday, proved
a fizzle The men did not run, and thero Is a
dispute botweon them and their friends as to
why tho race did not como off. Salmon's
friends say he was on tho track, ready to run,
hut his opponent win not ready nml
Salmon remained on the track until
ho lieoamo so chlllod that his friends ndvlsul
him to retire and abandon tho race. On the
other hand, Klrlln's friends claim that their
man was at the courses In street dress, acting
under the ndvi e of his friends to keep him
self warm up to the very lust minute. His
racing costume was under his street clothes.
It is also st.ited that Mart. Fahoy, Klilln's
care-taker, repeatedly asked Salmon If bo was
ready to too the scratch and the latter re
plied "Yes." but each time walked In the
opposite direction, nini Klrlln was advised
not to strip until Salmon presented himself at
the scratch.

on one, Turner was to appoint ono. Tho race
was to havo taken placo between 3
and 1 o'clock. Tho men did not
arrive on tho ground until 15 minutes
before i o'clock. At that time the park was
not ready. The stakes woro not down In the
ground, and tho snow was not cleared off the
track. It was half paH four before tliev
proceeded to pick tho referee, nnd I was
selected. I went to the men and told them
to set ready. They both had their !,,., .i
clothes on. Neither man made aiiT nttenmt
togetieady until is, minutes tu . when
Salmon said : 'I will not run this race, be
cause It is past tho time. Wo were to run be

that Klilln began to strip and put ' on his
running shoes, hut whether or not Klrlln
heard Salmon's declaration I am not nm.
