A Real Comforter
Almost any kind of pain can be quickly relieved by means
of hot appliances, yet many people employ less effective
methods such as liniments, plasters, etc., on account of
the trouble and mess incidental to the use of hot water.
The G-E Electric
Heating Pad
saves all this trouble. It is ready for use in an instant,
and will furnish you with the necessary heat continuously,
day and night, without causing the least bit of bother.
The Domestic Size makes an excellent Electrical

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Col. Thomp

Marshal Helped Murane Out.
Nomeites were treated to the un
usual spectacle of seeing a district
judge forcibly ejected from his office
by a United States marshal. The
judge was Cornelius D. Murane, who
declined to tender h‘s resignation to
the Department of Justice when re
quested to do so by the president, and
who refused flatly to retire even after
being notified that he had been sum- i
marily removed. He resisted the at- i
tempt of his successor to take pos- i
session of the office and it was not ;
until the marshal had been called in
that he was finally, ousted. John |
Randolph Tucker, Jr., the new judge, j
sought to take possession of the fed- j
eral office. Murane declined to move,!
whereupon Tucker communicated with j
the Department of Justice and orders j
were sent direct to Marshal Jordan
to remove the ousted official without
ceremony. This was done. It was
understood that Murane’s refusal to
resign, when requested to do so, was
prompted by a desire to compel the
department to pay him full salary
to the end of the term.—Petersburg

Horse Asthma Kills Man.
PHILADELPHIA.—A coroner’s jury ]
i<m '' ‘ '
declared the disease one of the rarest
fqrms of asthma, and said that in
thousands of instances where anti-i
toxin has been used in diphtheria
cases there was not a record of anoth
er death under circumstances similar
to those of the present case. It was
explained that Musselman had suf-j
fered from horse asthma since a j
child.
’’It is impossible for a person suf- i
fering from that malaey to be near
a horse without strangltne or feeling
ill,” the physician said. A brother of
Musselman fell ill with diphtheria, and
the antitoxin which is obtained from
a horse was administered to Nor
man Musselman and other members
of the family. Almost immediately
Norman was seized with convulsions.
He died in 20 minutes.
