FAKERS TO BE ARRESTED Kxample to Be Made of Next Water Kxperl Who iYIgn Drowning lo Embarrassment of Officer. Latest Antic Call. Fmartlna aa a result of havlna; been mida the lauahlns; stock of thouasnds during- the Ron festival marine pa rade. Thursday night, when a speedy run by the harbor patrol launch to the supposed rescue of a drowning man terminated In being- "guyed-' by the latter, member of the forre under Harbormaster Speler and Cuatom House inspectors have agreed to arreat me next Jnker and urge that an example be made of him. The harbor launch, with Patrolman Brothers and two Cuatom Houae In aprrtor aboard, wa approaching- Morrison-street bridge during the parade, and aa It neared the draw reat, which waa Mack with apectatora, a man. wearing a gaily hued Featival hat and garbed in old clothing, apparently fell Into the water. The launch waa raced 1o his aide and a life buoy thrown Into the water, which act drew Jeera from the apectatora and a atatement from the awlmmer that he needed no alatance. and he calmly frolicked In the water, to the chagrin of offlcera of the launch. Keveral daya ago the harbor launch rearued two boya from an overturned canoe, and their phyatcal condition on being atrlpped at the patrol atatlon fully atteated to how narrow waa their earape from drowning: but the rearue furnished food for thought tor two otn er ranoelats, who purpoaely overturned their craft a few daya ago on seeing the harbor veaiel approaching. The latter covered a courae of about a quar ter of a mile, the offlcera thinking the ranoelats were In trouble, only to be Jeered at on reaching the scene. Order were given the Cuatom Houae Inspectors yeaterday to co-operate with the harbor patrol force In arreatlng all peraona caught endeavoring to bring about a fake rescue. Both patrol boati are on the river most of the time theae daya. and the first marine comedian found amualng onlookers will be given a warm reception, and that not along side the harbor station stove. The of flcera aay that la the only method to guard against a repetition of Aeaop't fable of the boy shepherd and the wolf.

He waa asked yes terday If Shepherd ahould attempt to assume commend of tbe Naval Militia during Its cruise on the Maryland, whether Captain E. M.

It Just goes right derwn Into tha blood and removes tha cause, and tha plaoa is bound to heal bacaaa tha iin purl tie and morbid matters which have been tho means of keeping tha ulcer open are no longer absorbed from tha blood. External application of a&lves, lotions, plasters, etc., can never produce a cur because they do not reach the source of the trouble. At best they can only allay pain or reduce Inflammation; such treatment Is working on symptoms and not reaching the cause. Eytay nutrltiTe corpuscle In the blood Is weakened or infected, they cannot nourish the fibrous tissue around the place, bat Instead they constantly discharge Into the flesh around tho ore a quantity of Impure, germ-laden matter which gradually eats Into the surrounding healthy tissue and causes the ulcer to enlarge. Since Impute blood is responsible for Sores and Ulcers, a medicine that can purify the blood is the only hope of a cure. 8. S.
