Washington, January 1. —Theodore Roosevelt today officiated for the seventh time as president of the United States at the New Year reception at the White House. Assisting him in exchanging the salutations of the season were Mrs. Roosevelt and the members and ladies of the cabinet.

Washington, January I.—Demands for amendments to the Hepburn railroad rate law are reaching congress from three sources. The character of these demands indicates that the law, with all its good points, has failed to give general satisfaction. Various commercial organizations representing shippers have already come forward with a number of suggestions for changes in the law, the railroads are anxious to have the law amended in a few particulars, and the president has som e new ideas which he would like to see incorporated in the law. oTo eheck a cold quickly, get from your druggist some little Candy Cold Tablets called Preventics. Druggists everywhere are now dispensing Preventics. for they are not only safe, but decidedly effective and prompt. Preventics contain no quinine, no laxative. nothing harsh nor sickening. Taken at the "sneeze stage” Preventics will prevent Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Lagrippe, etc. Hence the name Preventics. Good for feverish children. 48 Preventics 25 cents. Trial boxes 5 cts. Sold by W.
