Would Now Be Better Prepared If this country had been enjoying the benefits of a Republican Protective Tariff for the past year and a half, instead of being under the Underwood Democratic makeshift, it would not now be confronted with the necessity for imposing the always hated internal revenue war tax in order to meet the expenses of government, and that, too, all because of a war in which we have no part.

If the breadwinner of the house hold is handicapped with low wages, or lack of opportunity for employment, his wife and children suffer with him. Free Trade theorists assure him that the cost of living has been reduced by the abolishing tariff on goods imported from foreign workshops, where children toil at hard tasks; but what comfort will those afford to those who are without food or the power to earn? For every foreign factory that is working night and day to supply the American market the doors of an American factory will be closed. Men, women and children working according to the low standards of Europe to supply the demands of the Pennsylvania market simply deprive the wage earners of the Keystone State of the opportunity to earn a livelihood. Thus the Freetrade pauperises the people of our own country for the benefit of foreign manufacturers — Allentown (Pa.) Chronicle-News- NOTICE. Notice is hereby given that the Institute of the Mt.

Kathlyn Williams in New and Attractive Play. "Chip of the Flying U" promises to Be One of the Most Popular of Recent Film Productions—Adapter From Novel. "Chip of the Flying U" is the newest motion picture attraction featuring Kathlyn Williams, daring and popular screen star. The play is an adaptation of B. M. Bower's story of western life which appeared in a recent issue of a well-known magazine, visualized for screen presentation. It is in three parts, containing realistic scenes of the crude West and its rough types of citizens; magnificent views of an expanse of beautiful fields show- A Kathlyn Williams. ing thousands of cattle grazing along the hillsides; sports and activities of the cowboys and many other incidents familiar to the lover of western life. The stellar honors in this pantomime play are divided equally between Miss Williams and Tom Mix, noted cowboy-actor, whose expert horsemanship and lariat throwing have been features of numerous western "thrillers" in the past and who has developed into a finished photo play star. His fearlessness on horseback or while engaged in feats of skill and daring during the diversions of his comrades, has been illustrated by the camera on numerous occasions for "movie" fans. Daring Actress. Miss Marguerite Clayton, who is attached to the Essanay Western company, under the direction of G. M. Anderson, was recently called upon to act a dangerous and spectacular role which she did without hesitation. The photoplay called for the descent of the actress over the side of a mountain to rescue an infant in an eagle's nest far down the chasm. Miss Clayton was lowered down with a good sized manila rope tied securely around her waist. Four men held on the rope and she was lowered nearly a hundred feet, finally reaching the eagle's nest and rescuing the baby, which in this case was a dummy. Miss Clayton refused at first to enact the role until Mr. Anderson consented to be one of the men holding the rope. The camera man stood across the chasm and secured excellent results.—Popular Electricity. Return From the CataKills. Rip Van Winkle's haunts, the Catskill mountains, were the scene of much activity during the last four weeks when a company of players "filmed" several productions in the surrounding country. The company consisting of, Dorothy Kelly, James Morrison, George Cooper and John Costello, returned from the mountainous section with negatives for "Regan's Daughter," "Within an Ace" and "The Love of Pierre La Crosse." Eclair Films Produced at Tucson. It is announced that the entire producing force engaged in the making of American Eclair films will be moved to the spacious and modern studies erected by the company at Tucson, Arlz. The Eclair studios at Fort Lee, N. J., were recently destroyed by fire and, although the company is erecting new buildings, they are not ready. East Views New Production "Ambushed," a feature photo play, is being offered at the motion picture theaters of the East. The play is in three parts and is a film version of the story by Chauncey C. Hotchkiss which appeared in a recent issue of a well-known magazine. Francis X. Bushman is featured in this play, interpreting the role of a young attorney who outwits two criminals in their efforts to obtain possession of an estate left by a wealthy woman to her niece. George Kleine's New Venture "The Wbman Who Dared," is a forthcoming five part photo play production which will be presented by George Kleine. The story centers around an army officer's wife who saves her husband from a charge of high treason. The features of the film are a race between an automobile and a passenger train and scenes depicting circus life. Realism Carried to Excess by Actor In Hia Efforts to Secure an Effective Film. All persons engaged in the production of photoplays at some time or other in their career are confronted with serious dangers. But it is rather doubtful if any have had a more exciting and narrow escape from death than G. L. Trimble, a leading man with the Lubin company. In a recent picture staged near Point Pleasant, N. J., the role enacted by Trimble called for his sinking into the quagmire. The cameras were trained on him and the actors were ready for the scene. Everyone was impressed by the realistic manner in which he sank into the swamp until suddenly they became aware that he was shouting for help. A rope was thrown over the limb of a nearby tree and it took four men to release Trimble's 285 pounds from the mud. A fellow actor, Peter I. Lang, had a narrow escape while placing the rope under Trimble's arms.—Popular Mechanics. Big Fish Frightened Her. Big Fish Frightened Her. Fact and fiction mixed when Kate Price, heading a company of players under the direction of Capt. Harry Lambart, sailed to Grassy Point, Jamaica bay, to take a number of scenes for "Fisherman Kate." Miss Price, who had never felt the "pull" on a line, became much interested in the operations of the crew of the boat, who were enjoying themselves in true fisherman style, one of the other of the members frequently landing a "catch." Miss Price, with her characteristic energy, demanded an outfit and soon was not the least interested fisherman aboard. She jumped from fishline to camera focus and back again, eagerly waiting an hour for a bite, and was ready to give up in despair when there was a tug on her line, and disrupting the usual serenity of a happy family party by her excitement. she landed a four-foot man-eating shark. Giving one look at the fish, Miss Price screamed and ran. The boat rail was in her way, but that made no difference to the comedienne. When rescued she made two remarks: "Gee, I went down so fast I bumped bottom," and "When I go fishln' again I'll walk in off the street and get them where they are packed in ice." Extends Scope of Work. The Church and School Social Service bureau, an organization founded for the purpose of presenting systematically educational and religious motion pictures, high-grade comedies and clean dramas, of which Dr. Frank Crane is secretary, has become allied with the duke of Manchester's International Education league. Doctor Crane is a prominent figure in church and literary circles. He has held pastorates in Chicago and Worcester, Mass, ultimately leaving the pulpit for a wider field. He engaged in journalism and his writings have appeared in newspapers throughout the country. John Kerrigan Dead. John Kerrigan, father of the well-known moving picture star, Warren Kerrigan, died at his home in New Albany, Ind., after an illness of several months. He was born seventy-seven years ago in Dunstan, Ireland. He moved to Canada and later to New Albany, where he resided for 40 years. He leaves a wife, Mrs. Sarah MacLean Kerrigan; a daughter, Mrs. Kathleen Kerrigan Clement, and five sons, Warren and Wallace, Kerrigan of Los Angeles, Edward, Robert and Harry Kerrigan of New Albany. Mrs. Clement is a widely-known actress, and Warren and Wallace are leaders in their profession. At Work on Big Prdouction. William D. Taylor, the man who is making a big name for himself as a director at Long Beach, Cal, can almost claim that his experiences in direction date back to the time when he spent three years in Fanny Davenport's company and did about everything to be done in that company as well as playing opposite her. He even went to Europe yearly to purchase certain necessary properties for her plays. Taylor is at present putting on a five-reel feature photoplay with Neva Gerber playing opposite him. "Chocolate Soldier" in Films. F. C. Whitney's famous comic opera, "The Chocolate Soldier," has been "filmed" and is promised for presentation in the immediate future. The entire original cast has been engaged and will be seen in the characters they created on the stage and the Strauss music has been rearranged from the original scale to fit the film play. The first half of the photo play is taken up with preliminary scenes, showing war activities involving Seryla, and Bulgarica, then follows the play as presented on the stage. Strong Cast Engaged. Blanche Chapman, who portrayed the role of Mrs. Wiggs on the "legitimate" stage, has been engaged for the title role in "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." Other members in the cast of this photoplay will include Beatriz Michelina, House Peters and Andrew Robson. King Baggott in New Play King Baggott, screen star, is now actively engaged in the forthcoming production of "The Man Who Misunderstood," a two part drama written by George Hall. George Lessay is directing the picture. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Building operations in connection with the construction of a Masonic temple at Washington for the colored Masonic Temple association, at an approximate cost of $125,000, will be begun as soon as the contract has been awarded. The plans and specifications for the edifice, which is to be of the Italian renaissance style, are being completed by Claughton West, architect, of Washington. The building, which will be an architectural and artistic ornament to the part of the city where it will be located, will be five stories high with basement. It will be fireproof throughout, steel construction being employed with reinforced concrete floors and slag roof. The structure will measure 93 feet on U street and 134 on Tenth street, and the main entrance will be on U street. Brown tapestry brick, with diana limestone and granite trim, will be used in its exterior construction, and the roof will be bordered with highly ornamental galvanized iron cornices. Wrought iron grills will be used in guarding many of the windows. Both facades of the building will be treated with a central pavillon feature. The front on the U street side is to be divided into three bays, separated by Italian pilasters surmounted by ornamental capitals of Indiana limestone and embracing three stories. There will be seven bays on Tenth street, all of which will be surmounted by a tablature with a medallion. The fifth story is to be treated in the form of an attic with openings in windows and wrought iron grills. There will be a roof garden laid in red tile. The rooming facilities of the structure are as follows: The basement will contain a large drill hall, office rooms, toilet rooms and heating apparatus. On the first or ground floor will be located a banquet hall, measuring 50 by 75 feet, with kitchen and serving room adjoining. There will be two stores on the U street side and five stores on the Tenth street side. A wide stairway leads from the main entrance on U street to the upper floors. An auditorium with a seating capacity of 1,200 clear-spanned and with no column support, will be the feature of the second floor. The auditorium is to be about 90 by 100 feet in dimensions, and around it will be office rooms and in the rear a promenade separated from the auditorium by a panel partition with brass railing. The auditorium is to have high arched windows, guarded by wrought iron grills. The third floor will be the balcony floor and will also have offices. The fourth floor will contain lodge and anterooms and three smaller halls, and on the fifth floor will be located lodge rooms and a spacious banquet hall. The corridors will be of marble, bordered in mosaic design. The British colonies have enacted laws holding masters of vessels responsible for passengers landed in the colonies, excepting those passengers under contract to engage in service either for the government or for some business firm or company considered financially responsible by the government, or those convincing the government authorities that they have sufficient money within their possession to pay their return passage from the colony. The Kamerun government requires each person not a native of Africa and not engaged by the govern- A pertinent suggestion for the church life has reference to the financial support of the church. Most negro churches are constantly overtaxed. The collection table is used more frequently than any other instrument in the church. The people are generous, but the desire is stronger than the ability. Often the largest influence of the church and especially of the minister, is broken on the rock of constant and necessary exhortation to give money for the support of the church. I am told that the minister shoulders the responsibility of getting the money practically alone. This is un-Baptistic. I am told that the trustees are a body who spend the money thus secured. This is un-Baptistic and unfair. They are at present merely the channels through which the church expends. They ought to be co-operating agents in securing church support. Practical experience has taught us that the greatest results come from the widest distribution of responsibility for securing adequate support for the current expenses of the church as well as for its benevo Ties made of a species of native hardwood have been used on the Panama railroad without renewal for more than 50 years.

Field experiments in Ireland have shown that liquid manure produces better crops of hay than any other fertilizers. ment or by responsible business people in the colony upon entering the colony to have in his possession 2,000 marks ($476), and the Woermann and other steamship companies require such passengers to deposit 500 marks ($119) each against return passage to port of embarkation. While I am not certain, I think the rule holds true for French West African possessions. Thus it will be seen that Liberia is the only place American negroes can well attempt to colonize. The impression gained by conversations with various government officials of the different colonies is that the American negro is not desired. This consulate is informed that "Chief Sam" of the Gold Coast, with the assistance of some American negroes, claims to be at the head of a scheme to colonize the Gold Coast colony, or some part of the colony. My advice is to select some well-informed person to make a thorough investigation, visiting the particular section in which they intend settling, before they pay any part of their passage to West Africa. It is quite evident that some of these schemes are in every sense fraudulent. Those who have come to West Africa suffer untold misery, are for the most part illiterate farmers who have, through a long struggle, managed to save enough to pay passage for themselves and family, with barely enough to live on through their first certain attack of African malaria. Many have expressed the choice of prison life in America to freedom here. In addition to the above, now and then a misguided independent missionary comes, suffers and dies.—Consul W. T. Yerby of Sierra Leone in Daily Consular Reports. The Frenchwoman who complained that it was difficult to grow old gracefully had evidently not begun early enough. "The child is father of the man," and hence of the patriarch, and whoever would easily grow old gracefully must take care and regulate wisely the earlier stages. A little artificial tinkering later on will never compensate for radical defects permitted to persist through a lifetime. In one of his letters Huxley remarks: "Somebody started a charming theory years ago—that as you get older and lose volition, primitive evil tendencies, heretofore mastered, come out and show themselves." Huxley treated this theory too lightly; there is more truth in it than he seemed aware of. Botanists tell of defects existing in plants as "sleeping eyes," diseases remaining in a lethargic state for several years, and then, with favorable conditions, revealing themselves; while physiologists similarly allow that morbid growths in the human body may remain lethargic for years and then become disastrously active. There can be no doubt but that it is much the same with the moral life. During the years when criticism and circumstance hold us to good behavior, and in which the will is most masterful, tendencies to temper, avarice and selfishness are checked and disguised, while they become painfully obtrusive when the volitional power declines, and the consideration paid to old age gives them unrestrained play—Exchange. The man who would reach success hasn't much time to sit under shade trees by the wayside. lences. Increasing responsibility in securing financial support should be placed upon the trustees and strongest members of the church. Another suggestion is also along the same line. There is a tremendous need of trained leadership in the fields of evangelism, education and church management. Some pastors have expressed their great desire to secure such training for the members of their church. They have expressed their appreciation of the help given by the Home Mission society in their former fields in the South, where the actual direct assistance given them in training their workers in specialized fields seems much larger than in this apparently more favored section. —Standard. What a poor opinion the good lord would have of himself if he answered all of the fool prayers that are sent up to headquarters! Shears with their handles extended to one side have been invented to enable a person to follow a pattern more closely. And the man who publicly boasts of his honesty may secretly pride himself on his ability to escape detection. An African frog sounds a call under water that can be heard for long distances. LEARNED FROM WAR Sanitation and Surgery Have Been Wonderfully Improved. There Is Less Fear of Disease Now Bullets Are Jacketed and Modern Military Rifles Leave No In the American Civil war eight soldiers died of disease to one from wounds, writes a United States army surgeon. Experts expect that in the present general European struggle not more than three will fall victim to sickness to one killed on the field of battle. Such is the advance of army sanitation and army surgery in 50 years. The Americans and the Japanese have been the leaders. The United States army hospitals have installed many remarkable innovations since the Spanish-American war, with its dreadful lesson in the danger of typhoid, and these new ideas have been adopted by the army surgeons of old world powers. So it is expected that the present war, the greatest yet in history, also will be the most humane. There will be no disproportionate mortality list from disease and no army of cripples as an aftermath. The modern high-power, quick-firing military rifle and the development in artillery will have much to do with the change. Those who die will die more quickly. Gangrene and infection will be practically unknown quantities, it is thought. Before the Russo-Japanese conflict the armies the world over used a high caliber bullet, made of unsheathed lead and greased to overcome friction in the barrel. The muzzle velocity was less than half that of the missiles now employed. Then, too, bayonet and saber charges were more common. These resulted in hideous wounds, very difficult for surgeons to handle. The bullets of the modern rifle are of less diameter than the ordinary lead pencil. They are jacketed with nickel, lead or steel and have tremendous velocity. The soft, mushrooming bullets of the old day resulted in the shattering of bones and the crushing, rather than cutting, of tissues. Infection was almost inevitable, the grease being specially unsanitary. A wound in the abdomen was considered necessarily fatal. The death rate among the wounded was enormous. In recent campaigns there are instances where soldiers shot in what were once considered vital spots have walked unsupported to the field hospitals. Germany uses a Mauser rifle, with a bullet of 8 mm, caliber, steel and copper coated. Great Britain's missile is the Lee-Enfield, caliber 7.7 mm, the coating being cupro-nickel. The French weapon is the Lebel rifle, of 8 mm, caliber, with bullet coated with nickel. Russia uses Mossin-Nagant rifles, 7.62 mm., with bullets cupro-nickel coated. Austria's chief small arm is the Mannlicher, caliber 8 mm., with a steel sheet over the tip. Hitting a man beyond 350 yards, the wounds inflicted by all these bullets are clean cut. They frequently pass through bone tissue without splintering. When meeting an artery the bullet usually pushes it to one side and goes around without cutting the blood channel. Amputations are very rare compared with wars of more than fifty years ago. A bullet wound through a joint, such as the knee or the elbow, then necessitated the amputation of the limb. Now such a wound is easily opened and dressed. Even Russia, which made a sad sanitary showing in the war with Japan, now has learned her lesson and has efficient surgical arrangements. All the nations use vaccine to combat typhoid, the scourge which once decimated camps, and killed 1,600 in our Spanish war. Every army division (13,000 to 15,000 men) is supplied with four field hospitals, each capable of caring for 108 patients. There are also two evacuation hospitals, with a capacity of 700 each, for each division. The evacuation hospitals send the more seriously, wounded back to the hospitals at home. Then every officer is instructed in first aid treatment. This alleviates a great deal of suffering on the field of battle. Next to typhoid, dysentery is the great army scourge. This is attacked by sterilizing the drinking water. History shows sanitation has often determined the fate of nations. In 1792, when the fine Prussian troops marched to the relief of Louis XVI, the raw levies of the young Republic met and repulsed them. General Du Mouries, commander of the French troops, shows clearly in his report that the Prussians had been unfitted for service by dysentery. Ordinary sanitary precautions would have prevented this. "You" instead of "He." Have your verbs of social intercourse—at least as far as the spirit of them goes—in the second person instead of the third. There is a good deal of human nature in most people, and nothing is more soothing to even the wisest of us than to be considered individually. With CUTICURA SOAP And Cuticura Ointment.

Keep Down Uric Acid Uric acid is a poison formed founds our bodies in the stomach, especially meat, and by the burning up of nerve and muscle cells during exertion. Uric acid is inhumane as long as the kidneys filter it promptly from the blood, but people who overdo and overeat make it acidic, and that it overdoes the blood seeks the kidneys, and attacks the nerves, causing then-menstrual cramps. The kidneys are arteries and brings on drips or brights' disease. By restoring the kidneys to normal activity Joan's Kidney Pills help to overcome excess uric acid.

DESCRIPTION WAS ALL RIGHT Not Just What Jones Was Looking for, but Brown Surely Had Told the Truth: As Brown landed on the platform he ran full butt into Jones. "Where bound, Jones, and why such speed?" quarried Brown. "Just off to Seashell on the Mud, and am anxious to get some fruit before, I start." "Fruit? Just the thing! Now she's just off, jump in that carriage. I left a fine pear in the corner." Jones got in and started searching around. "My friend said he left a fine pear in the corner," explained Jones, as an old lady sniffed angrily at the way he searched round her. "Guess he meant that corner, my man," she snapped. Jones looked and saw a young couple blushing furiously. Empty Titles. Empty Titles. The emperor of Austria, it has been noted, lays claim to the title marquis of Antwerp. If all European sovereigns could make good their minor territorial titles there would, indeed, be a reconstruction of the man. The king of Italy, for instance, is officially styled king of Sardinia, France, Spain and England, of Italy and Jerusalem of Greece and Alexandria, of Hamburg and Sicily, Master of the Deep, King of the Earth. The king of Spain also claims to be king of Jerusalem, king of Galicia (a title shared with the emperor of Austria), and, in addition, king of Gibraltar, of the West Indies and of India.

The food experience of a physician in his own case when worn and weak from sickness and when needing nourishment the worst way, is valuable: An attack of grip, so severe it came near making an end of me, left my stomach in such condition I could not retain any ordinary food. I knew of course that I must have food nourishment or I could never recover. I began to take four teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream three times a day and for 2 weeks this was almost my only food. It tasted so delicious that I enjoyed it immensely and my stomach handled it perfectly from the first mouthful. It was so nourishing I was quickly built back to normal health and strength. "Grape-Nuts is of great value as food to sustain life during serious attacks in which the stomach is so deranged it cannot digest and assimilate other foods. "I am convinced that were Grape-Nuts more widely used by physicians, it would save many lives that are otherwise lost from lack of nourishment." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human DOG DAYS AND WAR Belief He Is Bags In Fact, But From Ancient Times the Star Sinus He Been Flamed for Cataclytes. The great world war con is in dog days and hosts of people the world over will charge the monster cannily, the incalculable catastrophe, against the dog star. When the sun is ardent and the air is sultry, as must often be the condition of the weather in our temperate zone during mid and late summer, many persons are prone to speak of the period of excessive warmth and moisture as the season of "dog days." They are giving voice to an ancient superstition. The same thing has been said since the human race was young, and the phrase, or its equivalent has become, trippingly from men's tongues ever since recorded history began. Yes. It is subprostration. It has no basis, in fact. It is a ligament of the fancy. Dog days have no relation to dogs nor have dogs any relation to dog days. There is the same relationship between excessively hot weather and air that there is between the same kind of weather and men. There is a great danger of heat prostration; there is a thirst for more water and suffering if it cannot be had and there is an increased demand for shade and rest. From the time that the eastern shepherds watched the skies at night and drew a more or less fanciful likeness between groups of stars and objects known on the earth there was a constellation called Canis Major, or the "Greater Dog." The brightest star of the heavens was in the mouth of that constellation, which to some imaginations possessed resemblance to the outline of a dog. That star in the constellation of the dog came to be called the dog star. It has another name, which is Sirius. It has been estimated that this star has more than thirteen times the magnitude of our sun. It was a superstition with the early dwellers in the hot portions of the world, and there civilization developed first, that the rising of the dog star with the sun produced pestilential heat. As this event occurred in the summer, there was often pestilential heat, but the dog star could not logically be charged with that misfortune. There was great heat because it was the time when great heat might be expected, and with excessive heat often came pestilence because of the ignorance of the people in matters of sanitation, hygiene and medicine. The dog star had no more to do with intense heat of mid or late summer or with the sizzards of July and August than comets have to do with war. In the time of the Romans, or in those ages when the Romans were sufficiently advanced to think of astronomical concerns, they called the bright star in the constellation of the greater dog "Cunicular," which was their way of saying that it was the dog star in the dog constellation. The days or the nights when that star was conspicuous in the sky they called dies canicular or canicular days or dog star days. Then, because it had received the name of dog star, the popular mind conceived that it was related to the dog, and as the stars and the moon had influence over men, with the dog star had influence over dogs. In the hot season, when this star was in the sky, and the dog went wild with thirst, it was the dog star that did it. The dog star got the blame for the hot weather and the maddening shrief of the dog. Men died an agonizing death sometimes after having been bitten by a dog. This terrible disease came finally to have the name of hydrophobia or rabies. When a man was bitten during the brilliant ascendancy of the dog star the matter caused wide comment and the blame was laid on the star. If the death occurred at any other time, people were very sorry for the victim, but they did not connect the occurrences with the star. And so the superstition has come down through the centuries. Modern statisticians who have dealt with such things can prove that rabies is commoner, or more frequent, at other times than during "dog days," and just what days are dog days is not easy to define. An astronomer could answer. The canicular days of the Romans were 40. There were 20 canicular days before and 20 after the rising of the dog star, and the rising was described as "the heliocental rising," meaning the time when the star, after being practically in conjunction with the sun and invisible, emerges from the light so as to be visible in the morning before sunrise. Elastic Celluloid Varnish Elastic celluloid varnish may be made as follows: Cut one ounce of celluloid into fine shreds. Add to a solution of ten ounces of acetone and ten ounces of amyl acetate, and stir it well. Do not wait for it to dissolve. Cork tightly and set in a warm place. To make a thicker varnish add more celluloid, but a thin varnish is most elastic. To secure colors, add aniline dyes dissolved in a little alcohol to the acetone solution.

For the benefit of the numerous organizations who helped to sell nearly forty-five million Red Cross seals last year and for the general public, the American Red Cross and the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis have framed a definition of anti-tuberculosis work showing how the proceeds from these holiday stickers are to be used. The definition limits the expenditure of money only for the year ending April 30, 1915. The definition was framed at a recent meeting of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and states that the term "anti-tuberculosis work" as it relates to the expenditure of Red Cross seal money shall include the following activities: 1. The construction of hospitals or sanatoriums for the care of the tuberculous. 2. The maintenance of the tuberculous. 3. The provisions of day or night camps for the tuberculous; the provision and maintenance of dispensaries, visiting nurses, open air schools, fresh air classes, or preventoria for the care or treatment of tuberculous cases or for the prevention of the spread of tuberculosis. 4. The maintenance of educational or legislative activities which have for their object the prevention of infection with tuberculosis.

PARADISE FOR THE ARTIST Devotees of the Brush Are Accorded Accommodations Without Price at Inn at Capri. Capri, beautiful in itself as a winter resort, offers an irresistible invitation to artists, since it has an inn where anyone, by painting a picture on the wall can get free board. To the lovely island of Capri, with its perennial summer, its blue grotto, and its lemon groves, came, some fifty years ago, a ruined artist. He opened an inn, and died rich. In his will, leaving the inn to his heirs, he made these conditions: "The charge per day, two bottles of red Capri wine included, is never to be more than six francs. "If any artist is too poor to pay he shall paint a picture upon some wallspace, receiving all the accommodation accorded to those paying the highest price. "If any German artist shall come to the inn he shall be accommodated, and shall receive the amount of his fare to Germany upon his promising never to return to Italy." The Inn is conducted today on these conditions. Its walls are covered with paintings. Now and then a German gets his fare home. Fighting the White Plague. Fighting the White Plague. Adequate hospital facilities for the 35,000 residents of Ohio who are suffering from tuberculosis has been decided upon by the prevention of tuberculosis and officials of the state board of health. It is proposed to create 12 hospital districts of from four to six counties each, wherein campaigns will be inaugurated for the erection of district tuberculosis hospitals to be maintained jointly by the co-operating counties. Through the erection of these 12 district hospitals, supplementing the present sanatoriums; anti-tuberculosis workers believe that the 35,000 victims will be adequately cared for, and that the people of the state will be so well protected through this hospitalization that eventually Ohio's death rate of 7,000 per year will be reduced materially.

Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health. 900 DROPS CASTORIA ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.

Certainly the automatic airbrake, the one that has proved practicable and of permanent value in modern railroading, was the product of the late George Westinghouse's ingenuity. His patent for the automatic brake was taken out in 1872, superseding the non-automatic or "straight" Westinghouse airbrake patented in 1869, and later the Westinghouse vacuum brake was invented. But, as in the case of most other inventions, there are several claimants for originality in this field. Thus Mme. M. Drouanet, daughter of M. Debruges of Paris, claims the distinction of priority for her father. The New York Times has a letter from State Senator William P. Flero of White Plains containing a patent office declaration by his grandfather, Henry Miller, of a "new and useful improvement in the application of steam and compressed air to the purpose of operating railroad brakes," recorded January 2, 1855. Mr. Miller was doubtless a pioneer in the progress of airbrake invention. The British Hussars.

Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. J McGrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of Charles H. Fletcher.
