Chicago, Ill.-Stading in the great city of Chicago late week and attending the republican national republican convention was indeed an inspiration to any American citizen to attend a national republican convention, when the contest for presidency is sharp. The great Coliseum was packed with her thousands and thousands of republicans from Florida to Alaska and from New York on the east to the Hawaiian islands, and there were delegates representing the Hawaiians, Alaska, Philippines, Indian, Negro and the Anglo-Saxon. It was a harmonious convention, seeking to unite the progressives, which would insure victory this fall. It was clearly demonstrated by the convention that Theodore Roosevelt was the choice of the masses of people in the city, and even the visitors, but the delegates and representative men thought it best to nominate a man acceptable to Theodore Roosevelt and unite the two factors without antagonizing the conservative factor by nominating Roosevelt. Therefore after the second ballot the tidal wave turned toward Judge Hughes of New York and he was nominated on the second ballot. Most all of the other candidates had withdrawn and Fairbanks of Indiana was selected as his running mate. The progressive convention nominated Roosevelt and it was understood that he will not accept the nomination, but will support the republican nominee. Below we give a list of the candidates nominated and the amount of votes received on the first ballot. There were about forty delegates and about sixty altitudates, and several hundred colored visitors and politicians present from all parts of the United States, including the newpaper men and office holders and those who hope to be office holders were on the job.

Indianapolis, Ind.-The thirty-sixth annual session of the supreme council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Masons of the northern Masonic jurisdiction will be held in this city from Sunday, May 7, to 9, inclusive. This powerful organization embraces Masons who have taken the thirty-third degree, the highest degree in Masonry, and is the lawmaking body for the Scottish Rite in its jurisdiction. The organization has a large membership in each of the northern states. The coming session will be the second to be held away from the regular meeting place in Philadelphia, and it was only in deference to the increase-ingly large number or Masons in the far and middle west that this city was selected as the seat of the convocation for 1916. Constantine consistency is planning to entertain the organization in the royal fashion that always characterizes the people of the Hooster capital. The regular business session will be interspersed with many interesting and enjoyable social features, including a banquet. On Sunday, May 7, at 8 p. m., a special divine service will be held at Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church, when the Rev. William H. Weaver, thirty-third degree, will deliver a sermon especially prepared for the occasion. The supreme council will attend this service, escorted by the Masonic bodies of Indianapolis. Monday, May 8, will mark the opening of the executive and business sessions, with conferring of degrees, continuing throughout the day. At night the banquet by the Constantine consistency will be held. Tuesday the supreme council will hear reports and wind up the routine affairs of the convoction, and at the close the body will be treated to a birdseye view of the numerous points of historic interest about Indianapolis, with a glance at the beautiful home and beauty spots of the city and a survey of the business and industrial development shown by both races. On Wednesday, May 10, the members of the supreme council will visit Detroit, Mich., as the guests of the Wolverene consistency of that valley, a cordial invitation to make the journey having been accepted by the organization.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Capt. Allen Wadsworth Washington, a graduate and for years assistant to MaJ. R. R. Moton as commander of cadets, has been appointed to succeed Major Moton. After having been identified with the institute as student and officer for 31 years, Major Moton left Hampton, Va., for Tuskegee, Ala., where he was installed as principal on May 25. At the forty-eight anniversary exercises, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal, presented to the board of trustees a total of 159 candidates for diplomas and certificates. Of these, 69 young men received certificates from the various departments of the agricultural and rural schools, and 49 men and 43 women received diplomas from the academy school. Twelve of the men and all of the women were candidates for state teachers' certificates. Several of the graduating class gave short accounts of their work. The National Home association, of which Alexander B. Trowbridge of New York is the president, held its second annual meeting at Hampton, all six of the constituent associations being represented. This organization insures the permanency of the annual trip to Hampton at this time for several years. Mr. Trowbridge was personally responsible for organizing these special parties. He and the other officers of the National association were re-elected. Trustees and visitors to the institute have commented most favorably on the tour of the annual report which Doctor Friissel has submitted to the board. It is said to be one of the most encouraging in some of the areas. In the report Doctor Friissel reviews the work of the institution's most distinguished graduate, Doctor Washington, who labored for the economic emancipation of the Negro. Of the appointment of Major Moton to succeed Doctor Washington as head of Tuskegee school, Doctor Friissel saws: "It was a matter of pride and congratulation to the friends of Hampton that the trustees of the Tuskegee school should have chosen as Doctor Washington's successor to the most important position which a Negro can occupy in this country, if not in the world, a man whose entire school education was received in the same institution from which his predecessor was graduated." Major Moton's speeches made in the North are quoted for three things for which he is especially thankful to Hampton: "It has helped his people to an appreciation of the dignity of the labor successfully held by both white and blacks to work together in harmony and mutual usefulness by offering a platform where they can come together for discussion of their difficulties. It has helped to create in the Negro respect for his own race." First steps toward the establishment of a Negro college in the city were taken at an educational rally of the Baptist convention (colored) at the city auditorium at Houston, Tex. A fund of $500 was raised at the rally, and it was expected that additional contributions at the various colored churches Sunday night would bring this up to $1,000. A number of speakers, including Mayor Ben Campbell, P. W. Horn, assistantendent of schools, and Dr. J. L. Groover, director of the First Baptist church, appeared on the program for the rally at the auditorium and ex- Attention has been called to the fact that congress, while increasing the army, is not providing for a single additional Negro enrollment. It is said the war department holds it cannot designate such a regiment without congressional authority. This is calculated to make Brigadier General Andrew Sheridan Burt, so long colonel of the Twenty-fifth infantry, Gen. Gay V. Henry, colonel of the famous Ninth Cavalry; Lieut. Henry C. Corbin, Col. Aaron Daggett, and other noted soldiers who have commanded "the colored troops who fought nobly," turn over in their graves. Take them by and large, no commands ever assembled under the United States flag have better records than the Negro regiments, the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry. For loyalty, discipline, bravery, soldierly pride and fighting ability they are unexcelled. Congress has not covered itself with glory in this important army business.

E. H. Branch presided at the meeting. "If progress is to be made by the colored race," said Mayor Campbell in the course of his address, "they must begin with the schools. Money spent on the public schools will come back to the donors with compound interest. You can be sure that you can use neither your time nor your money to better advantage than in educating your children, and the city of Houston will be glad to assist you in the undertaking in any way possible." More than 500 women bearing a petition several hundred feet long and containing over 5,000 names invaded the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church at Philadelphia. The demonstration was under the auspices of the Women's Parent Home and Foreign Missionary society, Mrs. Mary F. Handy, president, and the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary society, Mrs. S. G. Simmons, president, and the object was to memorialize the general conference to allow the women to send their money direct to the mission fields instead of sending it to the missionary board for distribution. The charge of procedure there is a falling off in their receipts and they wish to avoid this by sending the money direct. The matter was referred to a special committee. Here is an estimate of vessels with drawn from this country* commerce since the beginning of the European war: German and Austrian ships interned throughout the world, 1,924 ships, 6,633,000 tons; British ships requisitioned, 2,300 ships, tonnage not known; Russian ships requisitioned, number unknown, but about 900,000 tons. No reliable figures can be gained about the French and Italian ships taken for war use, but the number is known to be large. Perhaps the total number of ships lost to trade is 7,000. To this must be added the vast number that has been sent to the bottom since the war began, about which no figures are obtainable now. An organization has been formed, and plans are being perfected by some of the most prominent colored physicians of Norfolk, Va., and their white friends to build in the Virginia hills near Washington, an extensive tuberculosis hospital where poor patients may receive treatment without pay.

RISKS HER LIFE TO SEE HUSBAND MANY KILLED BY DEADLY WIRE "One morning very early I found a young woman sitting on one of the Dutch 'steps' in Sluis. She looked worn out, but her face wore that happy expression which told me at once that she was one of those who had crossed. A few hours later I met her arm in arm with a young maa whom I knew was an escaped Belgian soldier. I met them again and again, and the young woman told me the name of her town, how things were going there, and how she had got into Holland.

She heard from him three times, then his letters ceased, and for months she had lived alone, hoping that her husband was still alive. Face Death for Husband. "One day Clara Vernel was brooding over her misfortunes when the door opened and in walked 'Limping Victor', a cripple who was employed by the Germans to do errands, and had often to go to Holland. "Clara," he said, "I have seen Robert. He is at Stuls, just over the border. But don't ask any more. I risk too much already." "She heard the door bang and was again alone. Robert alive! Robert at Stuls, only a few miles away? Then she fell on her knees before the Holy Virgin in the corner and prayed. "Then a shadow crept over her face. Stuis is in Holland! The electric cables! They meant death for those who came near them." "But she would go. She would face death for him. Her father tried to dissuade her, but finally gave it." "There is only one man, Clara," he said, "who can help you if you really want to go to Sluis, and that man is Flor, the poacher. He knows every inch of soil for miles round and miles into Holland. Let us go and see him, or rather you go alone; that would be safer. You know where he lives. So you can go to Sluis to see your husband, who was a murderer? said Flor, when Clara called at his hut. "But do you know what it means, young woman? Do you know how many have been killed by that devilish wire?" Crawls Through Tunnel. "It was about midnight when the poacher came. "This is the time that the guard is changed, and those old landsturms are always late," he had said, cautioning her not to make any noise. "Near the little River Mendel running half a mile distant the poacher knew a kind of tunnel. This tunnel had been made many years ago to deliver water to a factory, standing just across the border, near Sluis. "The cable is only a few yards distant from us, whispered the poacher to Clara. "We must keep to the right, as we will soon turn with the path and leave the cable. A cat rushed past. Clara was frightened. A few seconds after the poacher stopped her. "Listen; that cat has been killed, and she heard the 'complaining cry' which always followed contact with the wire by man or animal." The poacher had now found the bridge he was looking for. "Now about a hundred yards further," he said. He searched the grass and the rushes near the water until his foot sunk deep into a hole. Soon he found the opening. 'Come,' he said. "The tunnel" was not high enough to stand in, so they had to crawl. Clara thought it would never come to an end. She had never been in such darkness. She hanged her head, hurt her feet, but thought only of her husband. At last she heard the poacher say: "Here we are! This is Holland!" She and another woman want to go back.

Michael had been living on corn for him days and was so weak he could hardly stand. He says there is nothing in this "corned" stuff. Michael hails from Steubenville, O, where he works for the Carnegie Steel company, he told the judge, exhibiting his working identification check as proof.

He passed a few hours in endeavors to drown out the recollection of the occurrence, and it was Sunday morning, he explained, the syllabia box car and fell asleep. His snores failed to reach the grain inspectors, who locked and sealed the car door. Today a railroad policeman patrolling the South Chicago yards heard him pounding on the car door and yelling feebly for help. The officer pried open the door and arrested him as "disorderly." The judge dismissed the charge and the courtroom attaches took up a collection to buy Mike a square meal. He then went to a physicist, blocked the plan temporarily.

MAKES HIS THIRD ESCAPE Eugene Gilbert, French Avilator, Flees Swiss Camp Again—Gets to Italy. Paris.—For the third time Eugene Gilbert, the French avilator, has escaped from the camp in Switzerland where he was interned. The avilator, who made several aeroplane records before the outbreak of the war, was compelled by lack of gasoline to land on Swiss soil after making a raid on the Zeppelin factory at Friedrichsbafen. He made his first attempt to escape soon after his internment and managed to reach Paris, but he was sent back when the Swiss authorities declared that he had not given them sufficient notice of his promise not to attempt to escape. In February the avilator again tried to make his way out of Switzerland, but was arrested at Otlen. According to the Petit Parisien, M. Gilbert has succeeded this time in making his way to Italy.

What Uncle Sam Has Done for Arid Lands by Irrigation Upon lands watered by government irrigation plants last year, crops were harvested and sold, at prices that brought a grand total of more than $17,000,000. Federal irrigation projects now under way or completed embrace over 3,000,000 acres of irrigable land, divided into about 60,000 farms of from 10 to 160 acres each. As the result of recent rapid progress, water was made available last year from government ditches for 1,450,407 acres on 29,017 farms. In its irrigation work, dams of masonry, earth, crib and rock fill have been created with a total volume of 12,200,000 cubic yards. These include the two highest dams in the world. The available reservoir capacity for storing water in government reservoirs is now 6,500,000 cubic feet, or enough to cover the states of New Jersey and Delaware to a depth of 12 inches. The government in this work has dug 9,592 miles of canals and ditches, excavated 89 tunnels with an aggregate length of 25 miles, built 4,622 bridges with a total length of 19 miles, and has constructed 784 miles of wagon roads, 82 miles of railroad, 2,554 miles of telephone line, 429 miles of transmission line, and 1,068 buildings, such as power houses, pumping stations, offices, residences and storehouses. Excavations of rock and earth amount to 130,149,363 cubic yards. The consumption of cement has amounted to 2,501,262 barrels purchased, and 1,177,215 barrels manufactured for its own use. WORKING WITH ALIENS New York Leads in Movement to Americanize Immigrants. Uncle Sam's Educational Experts Are Co-Operating in Work — Urge Other States to Follow Uncle Sam is taking a deep interest in the efforts that are being made by the state of New York to "Americanize" the hundreds of thousands of immigrants that enter the United States through the port of New York. The bureau of education of the department of the interior calls attention to the work that is being done in New York and suggests that the example set by the Empire state could well be followed by other immigration states. In 1910 there were 597,000 foreign-born whites unable to speak English in New York and 362,000 who could not read or write in any language. The New York state department of education has begun a statewide campaign to abolish these disabilities. Its program covered the following procedure: First, a careful survey of the immigrant education situation; second, establishment of training courses to prepare teachers for the instruction of foreigners; third, adoption of standards of efficiency in public evening school work for adult immigrants; fourth, co-operation with state and federal agencies; and fifth, publication of state bulletins. As a preliminary, personal investigations and intensive study of certain communities disclosed "dark spots" of illiteracy and "light spots" in the large industrial centers where efforts were under way to teach the foreigner English and give him some contact with American standards and ideals. A teachers' training institute for the preparation of teachers of foreigners was organized at Albany in the fall of 1815. It was so successful that it was decided to continue it upon a permanent basis as a part of the regular curriculum of the New York state college of teachers. Similar institutes are planned for Syracuse and New York city, while training classes are in operation at Buffalo and Rochester, partly as a result of state encouragement. Co-operation with governmental and private agencies interested in educating and Americanizing the alien is already an established fact. A statement issued by the New York state department of education shows that the bureau of education of the department of the interior, the bureau of immigration and naturalization of the department of labor, and the national Americanization committee of New York city are among those whose services and material have been utilized. Speakers for institutes have been furnished by some of these agencies. ALL-YEAR SCHOOL APPROVED Uncle Sam's Educational Experts Find Good Results Obtained Where Students Are Needed Uncle Sam risks incurring the enmity of the future voters of the country by putting his "O. K." upon the plan for all-year schools which has been tried out in Newark, N. J. W. S. Deffenbaugh, specialist in city school administration of the bureau of education, department of the interior, in a special report, commends the system as it has been worked out in Newark. Mr. Deffenbaugh finds that time is saved, street loafing is largely prevented and health is conserved by eliminating the long summer vacation. The strongest statement in the report is that the children in the Newark schools themselves speak enthusiastically of the plan. It was found that the pupils in the all-year schools not only made more rapid progress through the grades, but maintained as good scholarship as the pupils in other schools. Many of the pupils were able to enter high school as a result of the time gained in the all-year school, and these pupils have had no difficulty in keeping up with their work. It is expected that many more pupils will now complete the elementary grades at twelve years of age, enter high school and attend for at least two years. Once in high school, they are likely to remain even after the compulsory age limit is passed. Three men require six months to make a cashmere shawl, which is worked from ten goals' feebes. Natural Facilities Better Than Those of Old World. Greatest Progress Has Been Made in Recent Years by Cities on Pacific Coast. Seaports of the United States have undergone a remarkable development and now compare favorably with those of other countries, according to a bulletin of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, department of commerce. This development is attributed to the opening of the Panama canal and the recent tendency of congress to require communities receiving federal appropriations for harbor work to provide public terminals. The bureau finds that American ports are much better suited by nature to handle the largest liners than old-world ports. The author of the report, Commercial Agent Grosvenor M. Jones, states that there are four American ports—New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Tacoma—where it is possible to dock boats as large as the Aquatiana and Imperator at any stage of the tide, and in Boston such boats can proceed to the wharves at high tide. In the advantage, the busiest of the European ports do not compare favorably with these and a number of other American ports. The majority of the seaboard ports mentioned in the report own public terminals, New Orleans and San Francisco leading in this respect. At both of these ports the entire water front is not only publicly owned or subject to expropriation at any time for public use, but is also largely improved by an adequate system of public terminals under immediate public control. At both the seaports the terminals are co-ordinated by beltline railways, also under public control. The report continues: "The most noteworthy progress made in recent years in port development has been shown by the leading ports on the Pacific coast—San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, Portland, Tacoma, and San Diego. In no section of the country has the importance of publicly owned terminal facilities been more intelligently understood and in none have so large expenditures for port improvement been made in the last five years." VOLUME OF IMMIGRATION TAKES BIG DROP IN 1915 Number of Foreigners Admitted at American Ports Last Year Nearly 1,000,000 Less than in 1914. There were nearly 1,000,000 less immigrants to the United States in 1915 than there were in 1914. Statistics compiled by the bureau of immigration show that there were only 326,700 immigrants admitted to the country in 1915, as compared with 1,218,480 in 1914. Southern Italy continued in 1915 to less all other nationalities, but the number comes from that country fell off from 251,612 in 1914 to 46,557 in 1915. The English house second place in 1915 with 38,662 immigrants, only about 13,000 less than in the preceding year. The number of Hebrew immigrants dropped from 138,051 in 1914 to 26,497 in 1915. The number of French immigrants fell from 18,168 in 1914 to 12,636 in 1915, and the number of Germans dropped from 79,871 to 20,729. Seek Aid From Books. There is a growing tendency in modern business to make the utmost use of reference books and authoritative publications. This attitude is not only reflected by the management of large organizations, but even among the men themselves, who look to books and periodicals to aid them in their work. Many of the more progressive manufacturing firms have installed reference libraries in charge of skilled librarians for the use of their staff. Expanding Peet.

Sacramento, Cal—Carrying in bit brain two bullets that were fired at him by a posse in 1893, when he and George Sontag, train robbers, terror- {zed the people of Fresno and Tulare counties, Chris Evans, who has been on parole from Folsom prison since May, 1911, walked into the county hos: pital here recently and asked that the doctors remove the lead and relieve him of pain. Accordingly, Evans, who 1s now sev- enty years old, was operated on by Dr. ‘W. J. Harris, superintendent of the hospital. ‘The bullets were causing his right side to becomo paralyzed.

Aman who has invested in Bra il or Mexico is in a specially sad way while the man who has put his money in ships or coal {s very fortunate in deed. But on the whole the fate of the landed gentry and of the country seats depends on taxes.

A member of a fa- mous firm of estate agents through whose hands most of the sales of prop- erty of this description pass told me that hardly a week goes by that ho ts not called on to arrange the sale of some large country estate and that the smaller estates are being placed in his ‘hands for disposal by the score, “The country gentlemen of Eng- Jand," he sald, “simply cannot live un- der the new conditions. Most of them are dependent absolutely on their rents for thelr income. A man has a couple of thousand acres which have been in his family for centuries. He lets the Iand out to farmers, many of whom have been on the land as long as him- Belt, The rents wero fixed years ago when agriculture was depressed and, although times are good for the farm- ers now, it is too soon to raiso rents. “No one knows whether the present high prices for agricultural products will last, and at any rate the farmers have @ good many bad years to make up. The squire simply cannot raise the rents and he cannot ive on his income {n the old style. ‘The taxes now take more than a quarter of it, and the death duties, if the property should happen to change hands two or three times in quick succession, as may well ‘happen and has happened recently in many cases In these days of war, eat up the capital. What is the man to do but try to get rid of the property, which instead of a sourco of income hhas become a burden to him? “So far there has not beon much dif. Seuity in finding purchasers, for there fare many people in this country who have made money out of the war, and the Englishman who makes a fortune fs always in a burry to acquiro a coun: try seat. Thero have been a good many American inquiries, too, and some purchases by Americans, but not 80 many as one would have expected. BULLETS YEARS IN BRAIN ‘One Was Above Evans’ Right Eye ane One Was Behind His Right Ear. ‘Sacramento, Cal—Carrying in hie ‘brain two bullets that were fired at him by a posse in 1893, when he and George Sontag, train robbers, terror- ized the people of Fresno and Tulare ‘counties, Chris Evans, who has been ‘on parole from Folsom prison since May, 1911, walked into the county hos: Dital bere recently and asked that the doctors remove the lead and relleve ‘him of pain. Accordingly, Evans, who 1s now sev- ‘enty years old, was operated on by Dr. ‘W. J. Harris, superintendent of the hospital. ‘The bullets were causing his right side to become paralyzed. Ono bullet was in the brain above the right eye, and the other behind the right ear. ‘vans, on obtaining his freedom trom prison, worked for a time as 8 efty watchman at Portland, Ore. Followed Mother's Example. Pittsburgh—Miss Harriet Gertrude Blum, aged sixteen years and leading soprano in the Calvary Methodist cbureh, and Hearne Neely, organist in the same church, eloped to Cumber- tend, Md., and were married.

Those set in such a manner as to hide the foun- dation of tho houso and relieve tho bareness should be plants that do not grow much higher than tho wall. ‘Some of the best plants for this sort of adornment are tho herbaceous spl- reas, dicentra and perennial phlox.

Clothes were intended primarily as a protection from the weather, The object is to keep the body heat from being lost too rapidly, But with eiv- ilization the idea of ornament has largely entered into the question. The most practical eee clothing for the (ea climate is to be |S | found in the |e) Arctic regions, emma | where hey wear _— j) garments with- }} out buttons, or ] y I) the tropics, where ! they wear prac- ee tically none. In ; cries Tageee , Qs tries clothes are closely identified with morals and there must be sex differention, which makes more for [expense than either comfort or neces- sity. | Grown people are supposed to think for themselves, but babies cannot. It lis a tribute to civilizatiqn that finally we have discarded the idea of long clothes with all the ribbon and lace [which prevented the use of the babies legs. But we have with us still some ‘customs wiich are tortuous to chil- dren, In summer when the weather is humid babies need few clothes. For while it is true that babies are clothed jin winter too keep the body heat, in summer it is equally true that ‘too any clothes keep in the heat and babies are made uncomfortable. In thie part of the country where the humidity is great as a rule, that is, where there is always a great amount of moisture in the air, it is essential that the body heat be given a chance to readate, that. is to have the air take up some of the moisture from the body. It is notorious that there are more deaths from so-called minor ailments in summer than in winter, The cause of the excessive deaths in the summer is as largely a matter of clothes as anything else. There is no reason for baby bonnets, save as instruments of discomfort and torture, The skirts should be away wita, save when it blows Ap cool. A flannel band and a nat are ‘the essential things in summey : This is the time to get fe points in mind, clearly and. posithvely, for the summer. It is not wisdom, nor is it essential to wait until the hot weather begins ‘and the child droops before beginning to find out proper methods, Knowledge is preparedness, wisdom is the use of knowledge toad- vantage.

We believe that we should pay such a return on the money invested in our property as will enable us to obtain additional money necessary for making extensions and improvements re- - quired by the public, If we do not earn enough to get this new money the public will suffer from the curtailment of extensions and improvements that should be made. We make additions to the plant out of new money invested and not out of profits from the service sold. There are many problems peculiar to the telephone business i necessitating extra expenditures which we cannot control, There are occasional expenses caused by sleet storms, floods and torna- does which amount to thousands of dollars. Then there may be increased taxes or possible exactions from governing bodies re- garding methods of construction, operating requirements, etc, which add to our expenses. These costs always bear upon the problem of dividends. This company is and will be satisfied with a fair average return on the money actually invested in the busness. We have absolutely no ‘‘watered stock.’ A dollar has been invested in physical property for every dollar’s worth of securities issued. All we ask oy have a right to expect is such a return on the: money invested in cur property as could be obtained on the money if it were invested in other business enterprises involving like risks, In special cases in the extension of business where extra- ordinary risks are taken which entitle us to some extra profit in consideration of such risks, we shall only ask for that return: on the investment which any equitable commission or court would award us, : &, (4) : el aaa tans ae sale Os as hii oars THE BYSTANDEs wn ‘Stomach Troubles, Many remarkable cures of stomach ‘troubles have been egected by Cham- berlain’s Tablets, One man who had ‘spent over two thousand dollars for ‘medicine and treatment was cured by ‘a few boxes of these tablets.
