It is a remarkable fact, confirmed by many observations, that many physicians who have devoted considerable labor to the study of a particular disease have themselves died of that disease. One of the most interesting examples is that of John Daniel Major, born August 16, in Breslau, a physician and naturalist of no mean ability. Bitten early by the wanderlust, he studied at Wittenburg, took A. MRS. EPPS, Chairman Ladies Committee on Com fort. courses at many of the schools in Germany, and finally went to Italy where he received the degree of doctor of medicine at Padua in 1660. Returning to his own country, he resided for a short time in Silesia, and in 1661 married, at Wittenburg, Margaret Dorothy, a daughter of the celebrated Dennert. The following year, his young wife was striken with plague and died after an illness of eight days. Distracted by his loss, he wandered up and down Europe studying plague wherever he found it in the hope that he might discover a cure for the THE JAZZ SHOW MRS. ELLA B. FAIR, Chairman Committee Souvenir Badges. disease which had bereaved him. Spain, Germany, France and Russia were visited by him. He settled in 1665 in Kiel, where he was made professor of botany and, the director of the botanical gardens. He made frequent voyages, however, always in quest of the remedy for plague. Finally in 16933, he was called to Stockholm to treat the queen of Charles the Eleventh, then ill with plague. But before he could render her any service, he contracted the disease and died on the third of August. The 'bubonic plague of to day' is identical with the black death of the Middle Ages. Primarily a disease of M WILLIAM M. EDWARDS, Chairman Committee Souvenir Program. WILLIAM M. EDWARDS, Chairman Committee Souvenir Program. rodents caused by a short dumb-bell shaped microscopic vegetable, the pest bacillus, it occurs in man in three forms; the pneumonic, which has a death rate of almost 100 per cent; the septicaemic, which is nearly fatal, and the bubonic in which even with the most modern methods of treatment the mortality is about 50 per cent. It is a disease of commerce, spreading around the globe in the body of the ship-borne rat. It is estimated that every case of human plague costs the municipality in which it occurs at least $7,500. This does not take into account the enormous loss due to disastrous quarantines PETER J. HARRIS GEORGE A, PARKER, Chairman Committee on Badges and the commercial paralysis which the fear of the disease so frequently produces. The disease is now treated by a serum discovered through the genius of Versin. This is used in much the same way as is diphtheria antitoxin. Plague is transferred from the sick rodent to the well man by fleas. The sick rat has enormous numbers of plague bacilli in its blood. The blood is taken by th fla which, leaving the sick rat, seeks refuge and sustenance on the body of a human being to whom it transfers the infection. Since plague is a disease of rodents and since it is carried from sick rodents to well men by rodent fleas, safety from the disease lies in the exclusion of rodents; not only exclu- [Picture of a man in a suit with a mustache]. HENRY H. NAYLOR -Chairman Committee on Comfort. sion from the habitation of man but also from the ports and cities of the world. Those who dwell in rat-proof surroundings take no plague. Not only should man dwell in rat-proof surroundings; but he should also live in rat-free surroundings. The day is past when rodent served a useful purpose as the unpaid city scavenger. Rats will not come where there is no food for them. Municipal cleanliness may be regarded as a partial insurance against plaque. The prayer that no plague come nigh our dwelling is best answered, however, by rat-proofing the habitations of man. Modern THE LEGEND OF THE WORLD HENRY P. SLAUGHTER, Chairman Committee on Transportation. sanitary science has evolved a simple and efficient weapon against the pestilence which walketh in darkness and striketh at noonday, and the U. S. Public Health Service has put this knowledge into practical operation and thus speedily eradicated plague wherever it has appeared in the United States. PROHIBITION. Surprised At His Prohibition Prop ananda In last week's Bee August 19, I was surprised to see an article from the pen of J. C. Cunningham on prohibition. I have read many of his articles, but this is in my opinion the weakest article that he has ever penned and totally unlike the keen analytical writer that we are used to reading after when we see the name J. C. Cunningham appended to an article. For one who claims to be opposed to intoxicating drinks and the traffic therein and then attempt to justify the same on the ground that Prohibition does not prohibit is simply lurid. Mr.Cunningham, you know as well as I do, that the slogan, Prohibition does not prohibit, is the stock in trade of the whiskey crowd. If it does not prohibit, why do they oppose it so bitterly? Why don't they let the Nation adopt prohibition, get tired of it, and then the rum-sellers would not have to spend millions of dollars yearly corrupting legislature, executive and judicial influences in order to prevent the spread of prohibition. Mr. Cunningham you understand the English Language and you know how elastic in use some terms are. The O LORENZO S. DOVE, Chairman Committee on Decorations word Prohibition as commonly used does not mean to drive out or abolish altogether but to outlaw the liquor traffic, and put it in the same category with stealing, murder, arson, forgery, etc., where it rightfully belongs. Are not laws against crime put on the statute book every year? Do they prevent crime? No, but they act as a deterrent. And because murders are committed every day, would you and let men be free to take the law in their own hands? Just because prohibition has been adopted in a few southern states and those states continue to lynch colored people, then JOHN T. HOWE, Chairman Press Committee. prohibition is a failure. Those states lynched before prohibition was adopted and it was adopted to stop lynching at once but in time it will certainly decrease, the amount of it. You might as well try to keep the waters of the ocean out of an island as to try to keep whiskey out of a dry state surrounded by wet territory. Mr. Cunningham are you aware that the Government spends much money each year breaking, up moonshining outfits in states that are not prohibition, Whiskey is very subtle in its insidious influence. Some of the most brilliant minds have been clouded by it. Perhaps that excuses you. Nation wide prohibition is working in Russia with good effects, why not here where the majority of the people M. B. CHARLES H. HARRIS, Chairman Committee on: Speakers. are more intelligent. A beginning must be made somewhere. Although the wet states are shipping all the booze they can in dry territory and trying to multiply the good effects, yet in the end the prohibition principle must triumph. It is founded upon unselfish motives, its inspiration is the good of humanity. Man was made in the image of God, whiskey puts him on the level with the beast. The open saloon must be the first to go. It is useless to waste time with men of hardened appetites, but the 'youth of the land' can be saved by removing from their sight those influences that A.

The use and decline of nations of the past due to alcohol and immorality (the 2 go hand in hand) point a M. B. JAMES LANGHORNE, Chairman Committee on Printing lesson to us. Will we heed it? Do away with grog shop and the lawful permit of manufacture, Outlaw it. And when as a blind tiger, it head, trest it as a snake, stamp on it, crush it. Time will show that crime will decrease and the nation not only continue prosperous but moral. PETER GEORGE CARTTER, Chairman Committee on Refreshments Prof. Jas. F.

The Best Treatment They Have Ever Received, The Citizens of Burville, Deanwood, Lincoln, And Fairmont Heights Given Good Roads, Good Treatment Has Caused A Division In The Colored Vote In Prince George Co. Many Will Deny Congressman Mudd And Support Mr. Rolston. There seems to be a division in the colored vote in Prince George Co., Md. For a number of years the colored residents of Burville, Deanwood, Lincoln and Fairmont Heights have made several appeals to the Commissioner of the District of Columbia and to many republican Congressmen that represent Prince George Co. for improvements. This section of Maryland and the District of Columbia are largely settled by colored people who have erected fine houses and made other improvements, they have received all kinds of promises. Republican Congressmen representing Prince George County, but no promise has ever been fulfilled. The present board of Commissioners named Brownlow and Newman have accepted the demands of the colored people in this section of the extend of making many necessary and important improvements. In a speech at Capital Heights, Md., a few weeks ago Commissionr Newman addressed a large democratic meeting in which there were as many colored men as there were white. He was assured the colored citizens who lived in the vacancy of Burville, Lincoln, Deanwood and up as far as the District line that the Commissioners would see to it, that they receive the necessary improvements, that he believed in giving to the poor the same consideration that is given to the rich regardless of the color of his skin. Then remarks were received with the greatest enthusiasm by the people. One colored voter remarked the head of the republican ticket is O. K., and between Mudd and Ralston, he intended to vote for Ralston, because he is giving the colored people more consideration than the republican in Congress. Thus it can be seen that the colored vote is divided in Prince George County, Md. This sentiment seems to prevail throughout the county. Then again: many of the colored voters haven't forgotten the defeat of Jerry Hawkins in the election of delegates to the last National republican Convention. A sentiment of gratitude seems to prevail towards Mr. Ralston in this sectin. Many of them have known Mr. Ralston for a number of years to be an honorable and Christian gentleman. He was formerly the law partner of Judge Siddons and Judge Siddons is more loved by the colored people than any Judge upon the bench of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia: The republicans have a great deal to do to change the sentiment of the colored people. HOW THE, WAR HAS AFFECTED THE WORLD'S BUSINESS. How the war has affected business in the principle belligerent and neutral countries is shown in a report prepared by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce, for Senator Simmons, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance. The countries covered are the United States, Canada, England, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary Italy, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, British India, British South Africa, Egypt, and Japan. The following general conclusions are drawn: Business activities were fairly normal in the various countries of the world during the two years preceding the outbreak of the war. In every country, including the United States, there was a decided decline in business activity after July, 1914. The period of business depression following the outbreak of the war lasted from four to six months in most of the neutral countries. In the belligerent countries the upward trend did not begin until the last few months in 1915. There was a slight depression in business activity in the United States in the latter part of 1913 and early in 1914, but in the spring and summer of 1914 there were signs of recovery. The outbreak of the war, however, caused a decided decline. The United States at the close of the period, April, 1916, had entered upon a period of business activity which has had no parallel in the history of the country. To indicate the business activities of the various countries covered by the report statistics are printed showing Imports and Exports of Merchandise, Imports and Exports of Gold, Receipts of Railways, Bank Clearings, Business Failures, Postal Telegraph and Telephone Receipts, Building Operations, Production of Pig Iron, and prices of commodities. Complete figures could not be obtained for all countries, but as the report stands it contains the most complete and reliable collection of statistics and diagrams that have been issued on the subject under one cover since the war started. The report has been published as Senate Documents No. 477 and contains 75 pages. THE BEE Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. ESTABLISHED 1880.

The Colored Citizens of Prince George's County, and in the vicinity of Fairmount Heights, Deanwood and Burville secured to be greatly pleased with the recent speech delivered at Capital Heights, Md., some few evenings ago by Commissioner Newman and J. H. Rallston, Esq., a member of the local bar and a citizen of Prince George's Co., Md. So much impressed were the colored voters, that a sentiment has been created, as to divide the colored republican vote in Prince George's Co. The Bee correspondent writes from there, stating that many colored voters have declared, for the democratic congressional candidate for Congress, Mr. Rallston. Many of them have openly declared, for him as their preference for Congress Congressman Sidney Mudd. His failure to do what they have asked him to do in the way of improvements and, the treatment of Mr. Jerry Hawkins by the republicans in the last campaign for delegate to the last National republican convention have caused a division in the colored vote. Already the commissioners have made many needy improvements to the roads in colored neighbors and counties of Deanwood and other places have greatly outlused the colored voters. There have been hundreds of houses erected within the last five or six years by the colored citizens, but their streets have been grossly neglected. Constant and urgent appeals have been made to republican Congressmen and republican Commissioners, but their appeals have been ignored and it was not until the present board of democratic Commissioners have these people been given any consideration. Many of these colored homes have been buried in mud. The main road leading up 61st street to Fairmount Heights is still neglected. Mr. Rallston, though his efforts have received a promise from the present board of Commissioners that the colored people shall have what they have asked in the way of improvements. Just how Congressman Mudd will overcome this divided sentiment remains to be seen. SEGREGATION. The good white people of Newport News have temporarily lost their, segregation fight. Judge Waddell has temporarily restrained them from interfering with Colored people, who have moved into a so-called white section. If this is not carrying civilization to the extreme? Monkies will be monkies. In older times, Darwin asserted that we all came from a species of monkies. It is supposed that they were segregated and that feeling of prejudice has never been eliminated. It has been handed down to this generation and what is in the "morrow" is bound to make it way through the — Now, just think of it! The colored citizen has a constitutional right to live wherever he pleases and is able to purchase property and it is the duty of the government to protect him in his constitutional rights. Mr. Giles Jackson comes right from the state and lives a short distance from Newport News where this segregation ordinance is in operation. Perhaps Mr. Jackson is satisfied in the manner in which his people are treated in the state of Virginia. The Bee has never known him to raise his voice against race discrimination or his state. He is regarded a good "Nigger." NEGRO DEMOCRATS A news note from the Richmond, Va. Planet and reproduced in this week's Bee, to the effect that a delegation of Virginia colored men headed by Giles B. Jackson, will call on President Wilson and assure him of their support for reelection to the Presidency of the United States. Giles always keeps himself in the "limelight." He is a one Negro who is of the opinion that President Wilson is entitled to his support. As a matter of fact Giles has; no following whatever. It is doubtful whether a half dozen colored voters in his entire state will follow him. Oklahoma Patters and Exposition Jackson would make a great combination. THE BEE'S PREDICTION. The Bee had not much more than been delivered to the subscribers last week when a dispatch from Florida informed the country that five colored Americans, three men and two women had been lynched because they had assisted another colored man to escape from the vengeance of a mod that afterwards murdered them. O! what a shame in this age of civilization. Is the government in the South weak and reliant in defending innocent and helpless citizens? The advice given by the Big to the colored people of Florida is correct, all must admit. Why should colored citizens remain in the South and be murdered? The Bee again states that the Colored people should leave the South, since they are not protected. Combined From Page One Concluded From Page One Lieut. Louis S. Myers, Grand Marshal of the B. M.

There is some talk og drafting, but few seem to volunteer. Since the declaration of the democrat from Arkansas; I am of the opinion that they would be able to draft them. Of all the fools in the world, I think that the Southern democrat is the biggest. These patriotic citizens who want to fight no matter what you do to them or what you say about them are very few. The more sensible individual may be found among the more modern classes. Has it ever occurred to you that the more education the modern individual possesses the less sense he seems to display. Take the last election for instance. Men whom you think would have displayed good sense, seemed to be extremely light in the head. Many of the near statesmen wanted pob. schools, but his occupation has gone. He is about to be placed on the retired list. Two of the most amusing members of the bar are A. W. Scott and Thomas L. Jones. If you don't believe me ask Lawyer Peyton. Perrie W. Frisher went to Cafe May two weeks ago. Perrie would have gone in bathing here. The sharks prevented him. Justus Perry and Perrie W. Frisher could pass for two at a distance. Snucking about lawyers, business around the courts is somewhat secrecy. Still they continue to comp. The colored attorney anonymizes the practice in the police court now. If you want to see the happiest man in town go to Warg's Department store and ask the madam to shub him to you. He is on exhibition. His income keeps him from doing any work at all. There are but few happy men and women in this world, but if you pay a visit to 1832 Fourteenth street you will not be mistaken. Some of the females in the northeast are wondering to themselves why Dr. Pope has no been caught by Cupid's dart. Dr. has very foxy it is trud, but I am of the opinion that he is not the kind of a husband the girls are looking for. Dr. knows lots of what is going on among the social swim and he never talks until he is pinched and then he talks to me. There is one little honey bunca in the northeast who is too much for the Dr. Shegis his goat any time. She generally finds out a great deal and asks the Sace's advice. This high yellow never goes wrong and she generally lets the Dr. know that his place is on Seventh street. Of course the doctor is a good natured individual who wares a smile that doesn't come off. There are some people in this world who never give credit to the successful man or woman. The social flimkey is the most popular individual in existence. He imagines that no one is as good as himself. When you come across an individual like this just conclude that he was born after the sun has set. An individual thus born is dark in his opinion of others. I was asked some time ago whether all preachers followed the golden rule. I shall be compelled to refer the writer to my friend, J. C. Cunningham. What he can't tell you about the preacher, no one else can. He is authority on the pulpit and Nogro leadership in this city. There are many shams moment he opens his mouth. I am preparing a thesis on. "Shamology." I want you to read it. It will appear in my next issue. The most disappointed man in town is my friend, Dr. Childs. Dr. made sure that he had a cich on the board of education. He still feels this effect of the blow. Well, just wait, you will hear something in a few weeks. It will be a blow that will kill father. THE EDITOR INDORSED. Migration of Colored People From The South. Mr. Editor, I heartily indorse your letter in answer to an inquiry made of you by Baptist ministers of Florida relative to our people migrating to the North and West. The treatment accorded to the colored citizen of the South impels them to seek other sections of this country for protection of life. Your reply, then, was a manly one; and the colored people not only of the State of Florida but of the entire South will be long have to do as you advise—get out of the South! But before the ink was dry in the columns of The Bee the news had been flashed over the wires telling of the ghastly deeds of the murderers of the State of Florida. The Bee is published on Saturday of each week and it was on Saturday, before the ink was dry on the paper that the do-ask you-please murderers of Gainesville, Fla., had lynched three men and two women of our race. The taking of innocent human life by the savage damnable mobs of the South is growing more alarming as the days go by. And still the independent bloody south is saying to the north, "Let us alone! let us alone! we can settle the "nigger" problem. We understand the "nigger" better than you do," etc. etc. And the lynching and burning of colored men and women is the way they are settling this great problem. Does the north look upon that kind of settling the nigger problem to be the best way to go about it? Will the north sit still with heads bowed and hands folded and keep silent, while poor colored men and women are be and forever hereafter hold its peace. We say to the north that the colored people gave their very life to help preserve this union (while the lynchers and still enemies of the flag trie to tear it asunder) and those unvictimized barbarians and man eaters of the south. south. Today we have on the boarder of Mexico a great army of soldiers and for what? Simply because a few white Americans were killed. White colored Americans can be slain on this side of the boarder and nothing is done about it. The colored people have absolutely no protection here and their only salvation is to leave the south, and the sooner they leave the better it will be for them. "If true we have some white friends in the south, friends, too, who wish us well, but they are too few in number to protect us. They themselves recognized the fact that it means death to them, and the total distruction of their property if they speak out against the lynching and burning of the inoffensive colored, men and women. And must, colored people, knowing they have no protection by neither the state nor national government, remain in the south? No! No! Let there be a general migration from that section of the country. Yes, leave, and when they leave they should shake the dust off their feet as testimony against the murderers of the south. Although we believe the poor fellow meant good, but, knowing that men and women of his race were being lynched and burned at the stake, and being robbed of their God-given rights as American citizens to vote; to be given fourth class accommodations after paying first class fare on the railroads; and to be jimcrowed as though they were not human beings, Brooker T. Washington could not have given his people a move unmany and cowardly advice than why regardless of these damnable conditions. The colored people would be glad to remain at their old home. The South, but seeing they sain only remain there as shaves, at the risk of their lives, we join with the Editor of the tree in administering them to migrate to the north and west. The lynching of three men and two women of our race in Florida should cause indignation meeting to be held in Washington, and throughout all the "free states" to formulate some plans to aid from our northern white friends to pay the expenses of those who will leave the south at once. This is no time to sleep. We colored people must take the initiative. We must start the ball to roll if we would argue the white friends of law, order in this country. Florida is supposed to be still in the union (don't know whether she thinks so or not) and the entire country is no less disgrace by that wholesale murder than she. Having no regard for human life in the southland we fall to see that there is very much honor. In being Chief, Magistrate of this country. When you look the thing squarely in the face it seems that a real just and good man, a man who would fear God and try to do the right, would have to condescend to the President of the United States of America. The way we look at it this county is going to the dogs, and she's going it at a break speed, too. And may God help the voters to put on the break. Scott Wins. Philadelphia. Pa.. Aug. 25.—P. W.

Denmark has looked after the Jutes' for over 1500 years without challenge. But the sea has refused to let Jutland alone. Like Holland, it needs the protection of dlkes, and but for these there would be considerably less Jutland. Even on the east coast, with its higher elevation, the sea runs into many inlets. One of the longest of these, the Lymfiord, was in 1825 broken into from the west by the waters of the North sea, and the north corner of Jutland has ever remained an island.—London Chronicle Had His Title All Ready. Had His Title Disney's first novel affords a curious instance of intelligent anticipation. Among the host of characters in "Vivian Grey," most of them slightly velled portraits of celebrities of the day, Lord Beaconsfield is one of the most important in the secondary rank. The novel was written in 1826, exactly fifty years before the writer assumed the title he had invented. It is usual for novelists to portray themselves in their first book, but no other instance can be found of an author childrising a character, with a name subsequently to become his own.—London Spectator. Sheepskin. Sheepskin was used as parchment before the invention of paper. Even then it was a substitute for vellum, which is made from calfskin and of a far finer quality than parchment, and was employed for fine illuminated work. Tanned sheepskins are in the trade called basils. For these there are many legitimate uses, but it is for imitation purposes that the sheepskin is most largely used. Already Knew Some of It.

Tillman of South Carolina. To the Editor of the Bee, Senator Tillman of South Carolina, in his speech last week in the Senate, is reported to have wept as he cont- templated the "sectionalism" of our Hughes and the reference of Mr. Hughes to the sectional domination of the government. of the government. It is sectional to discuss the political status of South Carolina. In that state there are 165,769 white and 335,046 colored male citizens of voting age.

The reason for this condition in Alabama is that a majority of the citizens cannot vote because of statue which were enacted to keep them.

Douglas, Arlz.-A rawhide shield, bearing the embossed national emblem of Mexico, stolen from the Hall of Ambassadors of Mexico City the night Francisco I. Madero was seized by his officers and forced to abdicate the presidency of the republic, is in the possession of Ives, G. Lelivier, Mexican consul here. He has written the Carranza government for authority to keep it. The shield was taken by a customs officer from a Mexican who was trying to get across the international line at Nogales, Sonora. Its seizure by the customs officials ended a search of three years, beginning the night it was stolen after it had been cut by the bullets which flew from the pistols of officers and orderlies in a melee which started in the Hall of Ambassadors when Madero stood under the shield and protested against his arrest. The rawhide hung on the wall in the days of Diaz, and President Huerta valued it so much that he commissioned detectives in an effort to find it. SNAKE CAN'T HURT HIM. "Prophet" Claims Immunity and Lets Copperhead Bite Him. Cumberland, Md.—John Nash of near Elk Garden, styled "the white robed prophet" and "the divine healer," debated in a grove near Flintstone, this county, with the Rev. B. Y. S. Teter, a Dunkard minister. Following the debate Nash allowed himself to be bitten by a copperhead snake that was caught at Flintstone. Nash asserts he has been bitten by all kinds of snakes and is immune to the poison. Barefooted and in patriarchal garb of white, with long hair and reddish beard, Nash attracts attention as he appears with his twelve-year-old son, similarly garbed and called by his father "Jacob the Prophet." His face was wan from many days of fasting. He said the fasting would strengthen his spirit for the debate. Nash is a former United States soldier. DOG GUARDS: NEWSPAPERS. Growls When Passersby Read the Headlines Too Long. Chicago: Newsboys with street corner stands believe there is a limit to the time a passerby may stop and read the headlines of these sellers on their stands. One of these sellers has left the final verdict to his dog. Nellie has been so well trained she seems to know when a person means just to keep on reading with no intention of buying. Nellie passes many hours daily on a shelf in the stand where her master's papers are displayed. When a pedestrian stops long enough to read the war news of both Europe and Mexico she utters a slight growl. The next warning is a bit louder. If the reader still does not move on, Nellie gets up on her feet and thereafter war dispatches hold no further interest for the reader. BATHED PIGS TWICE A DAY. At That, Neighbors of New York Man Complained to Health Board. New York—Spotless town has been found. It is North Bergen, N. J. Neighbors of Louis Tracassa complained to the board of health, that he did not keep his five little pigs in "clean and sanitary condition." Tracassa appeared before the board to defend himself. With an aggrieved tone he told of his sanitary precautions. "I give those pigs a bath every morning," he said, "and my wife bathes them every night. What more to you want? Should I get up in the middle of the night to wash them again?" "How do you bathe them?" he was asked. "In a tub," said Tracassa. The board of health took the case under advisement. Brass Bands Played to Lighten Labor in Canadian Army Camp: Camp Borden, Canada.—Never before was stumping done to the accompaniment of martial music. Four battalions were engaged the other day in uprooting old pine stumps while their brass bands played in the midst to lighten the labor and to allay any pain old Mother. Earth might feel in the process of extraction. About a million stumps have been removed in the camp area. As the ground is sandy, the roots are easily pulled up with a stumping machine. They are then gathered together in heaps and set on fire. The sight of these bonfires on the plain at night in the vicinity of the camp is reminiscent of Homer's Illad. FINED $50 FOR KILLING BEAR. Pennsylvania Hunter Was Also Forced to Surrender Cubs: Warren, Pa.—It cost James Nolan of Morrisons, near here, $50 and costs for killing a mother bear out of season. While Nolan was out fishing near his home he discovered a female bear with two small cubs wandering through the forest. He quickly returned to his home and, getting his rifle, went back to the forest and killed the bear with one shot. After killing the bear Nolan took the cubs to his home, where he was feeding them from a milk bottle, when L. K. Hogarth, state game warden, placed him under arrest. Hogarth took charge of the cubs. PAID TO SPEND. Colonel H. C. Rogers Just Gets Rid of Thousands of Dollars. BUT IS NOT A SPENDTHRIFT. Chief Quartermaster of Southern Department on Funston's Staff Spends Money "Right and Left" In Little Wads of $25,000 or $50,000 In Texas. San Antonio, Tex.—The "biggest spender" in Texas is Colonel Harry L. Rogers, but he isn't a spendthrift. His position on Funston's staff as chief quartermaster of the southern department makes it his duty to spend money "right and left" in little wads of $25,000 or $50,000. Little wads! Just imagine a sum like one of those in greenhacks wadded up, then the squeeze removed. But Colonel Rogers is used to trifles of that sort, or at least to handling Uncle Sam's checks that represent such piles. For instance, there are 75,000 pairs of army shoes in San Antonio. Twenty thousand pairs are at Fort Sam Houston—just sort of shelf stock. Each pair cost $2.81. Colonel Rogers said the army is short on nothing except tent cots. They are not kept in stock, and 100,000 extra cots is a big order to fill instantly, which is the reason for the shortage. Mosquito bars are another article issued to soldiers. One hundred thousand of them cost something too. Double ones are obtained for $2.20 and single ones for $2.10. Double refers to weight and not to size. Each mosquito bar is for one bunk. One hundred thousand single bars—and the government may have double that number—cost $210,000. Gasoline costs the government from 21 to 26 cents a gallon, according to where it is delivered. That delivered at San Antonio is 22 cents a gallon. The previous contract price was 0 cents a gallon. PILLORY TAMES WIFE BEATER. On Promise to Reform, Judge Brady Releases S. T. Pike. Kansas City, Mo—Judge J. H. Brady's walking pillory for wife abusers made a convert of one of the two Kansas side men he tried it on the first time. S. T. Pike, twenty-three years old, 841 Splitlog avenue, appeared before Judge Brady and said: "I promise I'll go and live with my wife and be good to her. But I can't live in this city any longer. You made me go out there handcuffed and sweep in the streets. I'm disgraced, and I can't live here." Pike was released. R. B. Stephens, Pike's companion in chains, remained obdurate. He said he would not live with his family. So Judge Brady sent him to the workhouse for a year. MAN FELL 12 STORIES, LIVES. Frame Scaffolding Diverts Course of Drop to Cement Pavement. New York. — John Gervieno earned the doubtful privilege of boasting that he had fallen twelve stories to a cement pavement and lived to tell the stdry. He was working on the top story of a building in the course of construction when he lost his balance and toppled off the structural iron work. The falling workman dived head first through a thin frame of scaffolding at the second floor, which changed his course and broke his fall. Instead of striking on his head on the pavement he landed in a sitting posture. While he was severely injured, physicians believe that his life would he saved. MUSKRATS DAMAGE ROADS. Seem to Have Conspired Against Autos in Indiana. Valparaiso, Ind.-Muskrats seem to have conspired in the Kankakee region against the automobile and within two days caused the wreck of three cars just south of Kouts. The muskrats burrow under the gravel on the roads, and the cars break through. The attention of the county commissioners was called recently when a Chicago man, who left no name, appeared here with one arm in a sling. His car, containing himself, wife and daughter, turned over, he said, at the same point where two other cars were upset. One woman suffered a broken arm in one of the accidents. IMAGE A. PEACE BAROMETER French Exept Figure's Fall to Mark End of War. London.—High overhead above the ruined and desolate streets of Albert, in France, the great gilded figure of the Virgin with the infant Christ still hangs from the tower of the Church of Notre Dame de Brebleres. For more than a year she has now hung thus at an angle of some fifteen degrees below the horizontal, face downward to the street below, holding the infant out above her head. In local French the belief is the day the holy figures fall will see the end of the war. Says She Has Stingiest Husband. Sloux City, Ia.—Charles S. Burga, a blacksmith, has not spent, a nickel on his wife in the last seven years, she alloges in her petition for separate maintenance. Once he was so generous he gave her a dime to pay for a car ride to a park, but later forced her to borrow a dime to repay him; she claims. NOVELTIES IN U. S. NOVELTIES IN U. S. American Souvenir and Favor Manufacturers Aided by War. FOREIGNERS DO EXPERT WORK New York Corporation Which Struggled For Years Against Unequal Competition With Europeans Enlarges Force by Employing Women From France and Germany. New York.—The curtailment of European imports resulting from the war has forced Americans to engage in scores of industries they would have been content to leave to Europeans. It is one of America's important benefits from Europe's misfortune. One new industry is the manufacture of novelties—the paper flubdubs used for souvenirs and favors. A New York corporation which struggled for years against unequal competition with Europeans has enlarged its force by bringing from France and Germany several hundred women expert in making novelties. That company now ROLLING Photo by American Press Association. A WORKER IN ANAME ICAN NOVELTY SHOP supplies most of the novelties used in this country. Its output is worth several hundred thousand dollars a year. Joseph Relchel, manager of a Kansas City hotel, purchased in this city $12,000 worth of souvenirs and favors to be given guests. "American made novelties are as good as those imported from Europe before the war." Mr. Relchel said. "When importations stopped makers here tried American girls in their shops, but they were not so rapid as French and German workers and the quality of their product was not so high. So the manufacturers brought hundreds of French and Germans to New York for the work. For obvious reasons they put the French in one room and the Germans in another." MINER FINDS QUEER BEETLES Strange Insects With Markings That Puzzle Scientists. Portland, Ore. — Beetles bearing Masonic and other markings that have proved a puzzle to the Carnegie Institute have been found by Fred Steen of the Steen mine in the Cornucopia district in Oregon. The insects are of the general type of the long horned wood borer, but according to the Carnegie Institute there is an apparent variation from any hitherto known species. The backs are black, and the markings are traced as though in white ink. Some markings form a combination of letters and Arabic numerals. Many have markings "V U 6." Others have the Masoulc emblem of the square and compass plainly discernable. PAY FINES IN INSTALLMENTS How Law Has Worked In Illinois Only Fourteen Cases In Year. Chicago. For a year Illinois has had a law permitting judges after fining a defendant to admit him to probation and allow him to pay the fine in installments so that he might support his family instead of working out the fine by labor in prison. But since its passage the law has been used in only fourteen instances. Two of the defendants have paid their fines in full, five have paid a part, two are trying to have their fines remitted, two have paid nothing, one has just been fined, one has absconded and one is in jail.

Ancient War Automobiles. Among some interesting documents in the old Bohemian city, Snaz, on the Eger river, is a picture showing an attack on the fortress Glatz, in Silesia, in which war automobiles were used. The mechanically driven cars were flat vehicles, protected by huge shields in front, in which the soldiers turned large cranks, the rotary motion of which was transferred to cog wheels and to the road wheels. It is estimated that these fifteentif century "chauffeurs" got a speed of four miles an hour out of the armored cars. An Odd. Globe.

Phone Main 4094 FEEDING AN ARMY Collection, Dispatch, Distribution and Preparation of Food is a Colossal Work Which Ordinary Civilian Finds It Difficult to Comprehend. London.—The mighty work of serving ammunition to the hungry, fast firing guns of the battling armies in Europe is a subject that thrills the vast newspaper reading population of America, but the service of food to the warring troops is one of the stupendous tasks imposed by the war, but, lacking the spectacular element, this subject does not attract as much attention as the service of shell, shrapnel, rifle and machine gun cartridges, trench mortar bombs and hand grenades. No one knows how many soldiers are in the field in Europe today, but for the sake of illustration, setting that number down as 10,000,000, the daily A Photo by American Press Association. ONE OF EUROPE'S FIELD KITCHENS. consumption of food by that number of troops is roughly 12,000 tons. The collection, dispatch, distribution and preparation of this food is a colossal work which the ordinary civilian finds it difficult to comprehend. Rations are prepared in the field kitchens and served to men, as at the call to mess they file past the kitchen. In all the armies are field ovens for baking bread and portable kitchens for preparing the ration in the form of stews, soups or hash, or in whatever other way appears best for the health, comfort and spirits of the men. In all the armies is an emergency ration issued to men when they are to be sent on duty which may keep them away from the field kitchen. The men carry this ration in their hayersack. A great deat of thought has been expended on these rations, so that a soldier will have the greatest nourishment in food in the least weight and bulk. A few stories have come over the wires or through the air about hungry soldiers in the European armies, but men conversant with military matters know that these armies, fighting as they are, are well fed and are getting as much, perhaps more, food than called for in the field ration of peace times. HELD A ROAD WORKING "BEE." Citizens of Cottonwood Falls and Bazaar, Kan., Put Five Miles in Shape. Cottonwood Falls, Kan.—With motorcars loaded with picks, shovels, rakes and other road working implements a score of men from this city and Bazaar started from their respective towns recently and thoroughly worked the five mile stretch of road between. In the party of good road boosters were business men, county officials, merchants and farmers. Each party starting from its own town worked until they had joined near the center of the five mile stretch. In addition to their hand tools the Bazaar men had horses and road scrapers to aid in the work. HIS CARGO BECAME ALIVE. But Part of It Wasn't Displaced With What Was Happening. Kansas City—Harry Deutsch, a baggageman, got a call that almost set him up in the poultry business. A commission house on the north side had thirty cases of bad eggs. It wanted dumped into the river. Deutsch backed his wagon to the river and began heaving the eggs into the water. Cries of protest, came from one of the cases. Deutsch found two live little chickens and in another case two ducklings. The ducklings tumbled and tossed until they got into the water and floated away. He has the chickens. Hen Raisaë Quaila Bedford, Ind.—A son of Eliza Smith when working in a wheat field found a quail's nest containing thirteen eggs. He took the eggs to his home and put them under a setting hen. The hen hatched them out. Since then Biddy has raised them with her other chicks and seems as proud of them as though they were her own kin. She looks after them the same as the others, feeding them tiny grasshoppers, etc. The little quails run to her when she calls them and hover under her at night the same as her own chicks. MODISTE WITH MONEY IN BANK NEARLY, BURIED AS A PAUPER Body Sent to Morgue Saved by Public Administrator: Kansas City, Mo.-Miss E. A. Heitcamp, a hair dresser, found Miss Anna Leavy, sixty-five years old, dead in her home here. The body was taken to the morgue and would have been buried in the potter's field had not Miss Heitcamp notified Public Administrator Newell, who made a search of her home and found that she had fourteen shares in the Shapleigh Hardware company, par value $100; each; a bank book showing $492 in the Mechanics-American National bank; $14 in cash and a note for $1,500 executed in her favor in 1904 and signed, according to Miss Heitcamp, by a name which she thinks is that of a former official of the Shapleigh Hardware company, now in New York city. Miss Leavy was a modiste, and was said to have made many of the gowns worn by queens of the Velled Prophet. Forty-seven Have Been Averted Since Board Was Organized Washington. — The United States board of mediation and conciliation, which was called upon by the government to prevent a national strike, was created on July 15, 1913, by act of congress. Its members were appointed by President Wilson three days later, and they acted in the railroad strike situation of 1913 and a strike was averted. According to the act under which it was created the purposes of the board are: "To settle by mediation, conciliation and arbitration all controversies concerning wages, hours of labor or conditions of employment that may arise between any common carriers engaged in the transportation of passengers or property (in interstate commerce) and their employees." The services of the board may be sought by either or both sides. Both sides must consent before it may act. It has no peremptory powers. In the forty-seven cases in which the board has been successful, thirty-nine were settled by mediation and eight by arbitration. Its members are William L. Chambers, chairman; Martin A. Knapp and G. W. W. Hanger. SMALL TWINS GOOD TYPISTS Five-year-old Children Profit by Teachings of Parent. Spokane, Wash.—Robert and Grace Rice, five-year-old twin children of E. I. Rice, are shorthand writers for whom their father claims a speed of a hundred words a minute, considered a remarkable record for children. The children are speed typists and are able to better the performances of many business college graduates. They are home taught and for the last three months have had regularly two lessons a day. the practice periods being at first of very short duration, but increasing in length until now each lesson lasts fifteen minutes. Their typing has made them excellent spellers, and shorthand has led to fair proficiency in drafting. BRIDE FOR THE SIXTH TIME Woman With Long Matrimonial Record is Only Twenty-nine Years Old. Conway, Ark.—Mrs. James Richards Lea, twenty-nine years old, became a bride for the sixth time when she was married to a man named Roberts in the courthouse here by Judge John W. Holt, according to County Clerk James A. Lea. The fifth marriage took place here about three years ago, and the bride has lived at Russellville since that time. Mrs. Roberts is a sister of George Doss, forty-three years old, who recently eloped with Addie Pruitt, thirteen years old, that marriage having been annulled. FLEXIBLE WOODEN SHOE SOLE Hungarian's Invention Consists of Several Lavera Grinned Together. Budapest, Hungary—Barna S. Kohlener, a captain of cavalry, whose military usefulness was ended when he lost an arm, has devoted himself to inventing a wooden solder shoe that shall be flexible and announces that he has solved this problem. His sole instead of being one piece of wood is constructed of a number of layers joined together by heavy oils or fats, which thicken and grip the pieces of wood together. Captain Kohlener declares it has the elasticity of the leather sole. GOODBY TO "A LA" ON MENUS. Stewards' Association Decides to Shake Off Foreign Yoke. New York - Winding up a three day convention with a dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria, members of the International Stewards' association declared their independence of "a la" and other foreign tyrants of the menu card. "Let us shake off this foreign yoke that so demeans us" demanded E. H. Nles, "creating instead an American system. Let our hotel press show the world that we are able to run our hotels without foreign help or languages." JOURNEYING TOWARD THE HOLY CITY Art. 20:16:27.—August 27. 8t. Paul's Address to the Elders of the Church at Ephesus—A Brief Review of His Own Experiences—The Kingdom the Theme of His Preaching, Double Responsibility Upon Elders, Warning Against False Teachers. "I commend you in God and to the Word of His grace."—Verse 32. FTER St. Paul had fled from Ephesus, he made a tour of the European Churches which he had founded. Passing through Macedonia to Corinth, he came by vessel again to Miletus; about fifty miles south of Ephesus. He was accompanied by representatives of several Churches of Greece and Asia Minor, and was eu route for Jerusalem, for whose poor he had suggested that collections be made in the four provinces where he had preached. The vessel on which the party were traveling was detained indefinitely at Miletus. So word was sent to the Elders at Ephesus, and they came to Miletus. Today's Study calls-attention' especially to the Apostle's address to these Elders. We are not to think of it as a boastful statement, but rather as a plain rehearsal of matters which his hearers would 'fully concede'. It was given, not for his own sake, but with a view to making the lesson of the hour the more impressive. He reminded them that for three years they had known him intimately—his manner of life, his devotion to the Lord, to the service of the Truth and of the brethren. He also reminded them of his humility of mind—that his conduct had not been haughty and overhearing, that he had not sought to lord it over the Church. St. Paul and the Disciples. that he had no St. Paul and the Disciple sought to lord it over the Church. but that he had endured amongst them many trials and difficulties with the Jews, with "false brethren." The Elders knew of his work, his endurance and his holding back from them nothing that would be helpful to them. He had taught them both publicly and privately. To both Jews and Greeks he had testified that there is but one Gospel of Christ, to be accepted through faith and turning away from sin. By calling attention to these elements of his own character, he was laying the foundation for his subsequent exhortation that they should copy his zeal, his fidelity. He had been a faithful overseer, or bishop, watching over their interests; a faithful pastor, guiding their welfare and seeing to their nourishment in spiritual things. Although possessed of his physical liberty, St. Paul felt a mental restraint which he could not shake off. He must go to Jerusalem; for this was the Lord's providence for him. But he had received assurances, from others that bonds and imprisonment awaited him there. None of these things moved him, however, although he knew that the Ephesian Church would see his face no more. Responsibility Upon All Elders. Incidentally we note the Apostle's Message, which he particularly emphasized as the Gospel of Christ—"preaching the Kingdom of God." It is right that we should recognize that this is the same Gospel which we are preaching today. Otherwise we are not preaching right. God's grace was manifested in the gift of His Son, who tasted death for every man, (Hebrews 2:9.) Ultimately that death will bring blessings to all mankind by the establishment of a world-wide Kingdom for the suppression of Sin and Death, for the uplifting of all. This is the Kingdom we pray for, "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth." "I have not shunned to declare unto you the whole counsel of God." What St. Paul preached, to the Church at Ephesus is surely the same Message which, by Divine arrangement, has come down to us in His Epistles. We note that his Message continues not one word respecting eternal torment, which is no part of the Divine Plan. Surely from these Epistles we now perceive that he was very patient in reproving, instructing and encouraging the Lord's dear people. ```markdown ``` The Apostle's thought in calling the Elders was to impress upon them the thought that "None of Those Things impress upon them Move Me." the thought that as teachers in the Church, they had a double responsibility—in respect to both themselves and the Church. He reminded them that the Lord had purchased this Flock with the precious blood of the Lamb of God, and that this value in God's sight should make them willing to lay down their lives for the brethren in any service which they could render. He prophetically declared that of their own selves—of the Flock, and especially amongst the Elders—men would arise who would be desirous of being leaders, and who would not hesitate to produce a schism a division, to help along their ambition. For a time they would deceive the sheep by an outward profession, covering their wolfish nature. St. Paul also reminded the Elders that his own course had been one of great care over them and over all the Churches. In Verse 35 he reveals the secret of his success as the Lord's servant. He constantly put into practice the Master's admonitions. MOMENTOUS TYPES OF GLORIES TO COME Many Significant Old Testament Pictures—Moses as Prophet and Mediator—Christ the Great Antitype—Law Covenant vs. New Covenant—Israel's First-Borns—Church of First-Borns. Niagara Falls, N. Y., August 20.—Pastor Russell spoke here today before the I. B. S. A. Convention. His text was, "Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope." PASTOR RUSSELL PASTOR RUSSELL (Romans 15.4): A synopsis follows: Israel's experiences, services and sacrifices took on a new signification as the Pasher explained the Types and the Antitypes of the Bible. By comparing Scripture with Scripture he demonstrated that Natural Israel typified in some pictures Spiritual Israel—the Gospel Church; but in others the unsaved world of mankind, while their priesthood typified the Church. Again, the establishment of the Law Covenant under Moses and the ceremonies connected therewith were shown to represent the inauguration of the New Covenant under Christ, the great Antityphalic Moses. First He will satisfy, Divine Justice, represented in the books of the Law; and then, during His Millennial Reign, He will antitypically sprinkle the people with the blood of the "better sacrifices," thus bringing man into covenant relationship with God. In studying these types, the speaker declared: it is necessary to keep them separate and distinct. Otherwise confusion will result. St. Paul tells us that the Law foreshadowed good things to come; that Israel's priesthood was typical; and that the Royal Priesthood were pictured by Melchizedek, uniting in themselves the offices of king and priest, our Lord being the Chief King and High Priest.-Heb. 7:17, 21:8:1-6 The establishment of the Law Covenant under Moses was shown to be typical of the establishment of the New Law Covenant under The Christ. As Moses was mediator of the Old Covenant, so The Christ will be the Mediator of the New Covenant, the great Prophet of whom Moses foretold. (Deuteronomy 18:15, 19; Acts 3:22, 23) This great Mediator will do for mankind what Moses was unable to do for Israel—forgive their sins and lift them up to human perfection — "whosoever will." The Head of this great Prophet and Mediator was raised up over eleven centuries ago. Since then, God has been raising up the Body of this Mediator from amongst their brethren. Only the consecrated followers of Christ become members of this mystical Body. When Moses was preparing to mediate the Law, Covenant, he sprinkled both the tables of the Law and the Israelites with the blood of bulls and goats shin for that purpose. (Exodus 24:3-8; Hebrews 9:19-22). There was a great concourse of people to be sprinkled. Therefore the blood of many bulls and goats was necessary. **Antitypical Day of Atonement.** Another type explained in detail was that of Israel's Atonement Day. Their high priest and the under priests represented the Royal Priesthood of the Gospel Age—Christ and His Church, the remainder of the tribe of Levi representing the Great Company of Revelation 7:9-17. Aaron, the high priest, offered the Atonement Day sacrifices and carried the blood into the Most Holy where he sprinkled it on the Mercy Seat. So our Lord Jesus, after His ascension, appeared in the antitypical Most Holy—Heaven itself—with His own blood, which He presented for those who would be of His Body, the Church; and He will again appear before the Mercy Seat to present the blood of the Lord's Goat class, which is "for all the People"—the whole world. The merit of the Church's sacrifice is all our Lord's; for it is really only another presentation of His own merit, through His Body, the Church. All this is the work of this Gospel Age, the antitypical Atonement Day.—Leviticus 16:3-16: Hebrews 13:11-13. The Pastor showed that the bullock was a fitting representation of our Lord Jesus as a man; for He was perfect in mind and body, full of zeal and strength. The young bullock of sacrifice was a prime animal, with much fat, which when offered made much smoke. This represented our Lord's heart devotion to the Father. The fat of the bullock was burned upon the Brazen Altar in the Court of the Tabernacle in the sight of all within the Court. This is pictured the appreciation of our Lord's loving sacrifice shown by all believers. The burning of the hide, flesh, etc., outside the Camp signifies that Jesus' sacrifice is a stench in the nostrils of the unbelieving world—those outside the antypical Court. The third fire, the incense on the Golden Altar in the Holy, represented God's appreciation of our Redeemer's sacrifice. The remainder of this highly instructive address explained in detail various Old Testament types, and showed their antitypical meaning in regard to the Gospel Church and its work, as well as to the work of the Millennial Age.
