Hundreds of monkeys are giving their lives ev ery year to the aid of science in con quering this dread disease, the mon key being the only animals in all the list of those suitable for experimenta tion that they have succeeded in inoc ulating with the disease. The micro organism of the disease has been iso lated and an early announcement la expected that a preventive, curative and safe serum has been discovered. Infantile paralysis, or anterior polio myelitis. as it is known to the medi cal profession, has long baffled medi cal science. Ordinarily it attacks children between the ages of lVi and G years, but older children and adults arc not immune. Although the death cy ; • . as ;n cerebrospinal mvuingiiis. me utuu ui tn. uuutrui follow infantile paralysis makes the disease fully as much • -• . d Oi.iy about four or five per cent, of those attacked succumb, but tally - jf-r cent, of the cases result 1u permanent paralysis. Infantile paralysis is a comparatively new disease. Its symptoms have fc. a des. ribed in medical literature for about 25 years, but oqly in the last 1> -:r nrs. sit. e the epidemic of 1907, has it been brought strongly to the attention of the profession in America. Ti t c1 -so s not striking in its symptoms.

ADVOCATES GOOD HIGHWAYS V.\ Page, director of the Vnited Star' s office of public roads and presi dent of the new American Association for Highway Improvement, asserts that the Vnited States suffers a direct lo.-o of $le,ooO,000 annually on account of incorrect and inadequate methods in the construction, maintenance and administration of public roads. This enormous loss is nothing com pand with the indirect loss, through excessive cost of transportation, which is caused by the burden which brd roads impose upon the farmers and others who use the highways, and this amount, according to Mr. Page's report, reaches the impressive total of $250,000,000 every year. The American farmer is paying two cr three times as much to get his products to market as the man who tills the ground in Europe, and this added cost of transportation is known to be an important factor in the high cost oi living prooiem.

DJKE iS TC GOVERN CANADA -- --I li is officially announced that the duke cf Connaught w ill succeed Earl Grey in September as governor gen eral of Canada. He will hold the ap pointmcnt for two years and that pe riod may be extended. The announcement that the duke of Connaught will be the next gover nor general of the Dominion was re ceived in Ottawa with great satisfac tion. Aside from his general popular^ itv- throughout the empire, it is felt that the presence of so distinguished a member of the royal family at Ot tawa will give the capital more politi cal and social importance than It ever has had. The duke of Connaught is the only surviving brother of the late King Ed ward. He is sixty years of age, a field marshal in the British army and was a personal aid de camp to the late king, who desired that he receive his present appointment. This is not his first trip to Canada, as he served in r»:.;.n raid of 1»T0. He is grand master of the Free Masons of Lngland. 1'* -:de» the title by which he is commonly known he is the Earl of Sussex, a pr.ncrt of the Potted Kingdom and of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and duke of Saxony His wife was Princess Louisa Margaret of Prussia. Va. u-us r< :.orts have been curient from time to time, particularly from < aadian sources, that the duke of Connaught would not be the next govcr •' ' r r ■ -r.I of f unada, although on the original announcement of his appoint i: • *-..«»rt! after the death of King Edward, it was officially stated that It ' '• 1 of the late king that the duke of Connaught, his brother, . ■ ..d go to Canada as governor general. SUCCEEDS SENATOR BURROWS l’eihaps because of his own person ality as well as becuuse he is the suc cessor of the old veteran, Julius Cae sar Burrcws. in the United States sen ate. Charles E. Townsend is regarded as a figure of considerable importance in national affairs. When insurgency broke out in the house of representatives against the rule of Speaker Cannon, Townsend, who had been elected to congress In 1903, became one of Its promoters and supporters. Ills name was even men tioned as that of an available candi date against Uncle Joe. Then In the summer of last year he began a state wide campaign in Michigan to strip the senatorial toga from the back of Uncle Julius, who was a veteran in the house of representatives when TownBend was a student and who al ready wore the toga when Townsend was a plodding lawyer in Jackson county, with never a dream perhaps of future legislative honors. Senator Burrows was beaten in the primaries, thereby Insuring the elec tion of Mr. Toansend to the Senate. Mr. Townsend is a native of Michigan and Is fifty-four years old. He Wait* in Vain.

Neur Neurs ; □ of l__„_ jy lE,3L£fttttarag ]; Beecher and the Phrenologist How a Strolling Sump-Reader Exam ined the Great Pulpit Orator’s Head and Told the Truth His Abilities. While Henry Ward Beecher was all his life in most vigorous health, both mental and physical, never suffering serious illness until the mortal attack, he was nevertheless a yearly victim of hay fever. He found his only re lief from hay fever in a sojourn in the White Mountains, and ho was ac customed to leave his farm, near Peekskill, X. Y„ In mid-Jaly and to re main in Xew Hampshire until the frost. Ho was utterly democratic in his manner and unconventional in his dress, so that anyone who did not know him would be likely to judge that he was a farmer who had saved a little money and was spending a ixjrtion of It in a summer vacation at a White mountain hotel. Many fann ers at that time were accustomed to do this. s -— "\ou shouldn't be a farmer,” be ex claimed. c-xciteuly. “Why. you can talk like a steam engine. You've got the biggest development of language that I have ever met with. And you're | full of wit and humor. You can talk i so as to make people cry. or to make them laugh. Where's your farm?” “My farm Is at Peekskill. X. Y.. said Mr. Beecher. ”1 thought It wasn't around here; your heed is not like a Xew Hamiv shire farmer's. Do vou make your farm pay?” “I have never been able to make It . pay. It costs me every year more i than I get out of it," Beecher replied. ; truthfully. "Of course! Why. if you’d taken to j talking—public speaking—you could t have earned money enough to ruu a i farm, and get plenty of money out of | it besides, no matter what it cost. ; You've made a mistake. Ycur teach ers ought to have told you that you would make a public speaker.” One summer morning in the late seventies Beecher sat upon the piazza of his hotel, reeading a newspaper, j 1 Tpon his head was his black felt bat. the brim of which was so broad that It Capped in the breeze. He wore an ; old-fashioned turn-down collar, with a sort of black string for a necktie. His trousers were baggy, as usual. A few i of his friends sat near him. chatting. ; when suddenly there appeared around j the corner of the piazza a quaint and ! curious specimen of humanity. He , I was a large-eyed, long-haired man. ' ! with the beard of a prophet In one hand he carried a satchel and in the j other wh^t appeared to be a chart or ' • a map rolled up. “I’m a phrenologist,” he said by | way of introduction to the little group j that sat opposite Beecher. “I can j tell by feeling what kind of brain a man has." “Well,” spoke up one of the party. ; assuming a cautious manner and al : most whispering. “I’ll give you a dol- ; lar if you'll examine the bumps on 1 that old farmer's head”—motioning 1 toward Beecher—“and if we find that ' you hit it pretty nearly straight, why. then, some of us may have our heads j examined." The phrenologist approached Mr. ! Beecher. “The gentlemen want me to examine your head,” he explained. “I im a phrenologist. I can tell you more than you know about yourself." Beecher at once suspecting that his | friends were Intent upon playing a \ joke, solemnly took off his hat. The ! phrenologist began to fumble through j j the masses of silver-gray hair.

Lamar From the Time That Both Were Elected Senators. In 1ST5 Blanche K. Bruce, bom in slavery, and the first negro to sit in the United States senate, was made a member of that body by the Missis sippi legislature. Two years later that i state named as its other senatorial | representative L. Q. C. Lamar, who had drafted the ordinance of seces | sion adopted by Mississippi, led his | regiment at Yorktown and Williams i burg, and otherwise labored assid ! uously in behalf of the Confederacy. In color, in antecedents, in training, in politics, the ex-slave and the man who was destined to win a seat on the United States Supreme court, were as far apart as the poles: yet shortly after Mr. Lamar had become senator it was noticed with more or less aston ishment in various quarters that he and tho senior senator from Missis sippi were on the most friendly terms. There are old residents in Washing ton who doubtless can easily recall how Senator Lamar and Senator Bruce used to walk arm in arm about tho residential streets of the capital city and through its parks and squares. Seemingly, it never occur red to the white man that tho com panion of his outings was of another race, that his early life had been spent in bondage. And when Senator Bruce retired from the senate and be camo registrar of the treasury in 1881, tho intimacy between him nnd Senator Lamnr continued, their walks about Washington being ample outward evidence of their friendship. Together, during all the period that both men were in the senate, they would visit the postofTiee department relative to appointments. Whenever it became necessary for him to go to the department. Senator Lamar would courteously ask his negro colleague to accompany him, and more than once they were soon making their way there arm in arm, as though they were old cronies. And it was noticed that the advances Invariably came from Senator Lamar; that Senator Bruce did not presume upon the official re lations that existed between him and Senator Lamar to force his personal attentions upon the latter. At the beginning of Grover Cleve land's first term as president Senator Lamar became secretary of the inte rior. Not long thereafter he sent word to Senator Bruce, then getting ready tf> retire as registrar of the treasury, that he would like to see him. A little later the secretary was receiving the registrar as he would an old friend, and confessing to him that he doubted whether he was as well equipped for an executive office as he was for a judicial or legislative post. “But," he said, “I am going to make as good • secretary of the Interior as I am able.” Then he brought up a* personal matter. “Senator," he asked, “how many ap pointees of yours are there in this de partment?” “Well,” replied Bruce, ”1 can't tell off-hand, but possibly there is a larger number here than I should have asked for.” “Do you think so, Senator?” queried Secretary Lamar. "Well, I have sent for you simply to say this: Not one of your appointees in this department shall be touched. You can tell them all that they need feel no anxiety: they shall stay here as long as I am secretary of the interior.” (Copyright, 1910. by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Saw Treatment in a Dream #__ ! Dr. M. O. Terry While Asleep Re ceived Instructors That Develop ed into His Oil Cure of Many Kinds cf Enteric Diseases. A well-known encyclopedic author!- i ty states that the came of James Marion Sims “deserves a place as an ; inventive genius among the great ! surgeons of the world.” It was Sims who. about the middie of the last cen- i tury, substituted silver wire for silk ! and other sutures, first making this ! daring experiment in a peculiar and hitherto incurable disease, and then , extending the use cf metallic sutures i to genera! surgery. For some time he had been making j a study of the hitherto incurable mal- ! ady. He knew that the common silk suture would be eaten away by acids before the wound made by an opera- j tlon could heal: it was this fact that made the disease incurable. He was nuzzling over this apparently insur- : mountable obstacle one day when he walking about the streets of Mont gomery. Ala., where ho made his great experiment, when he saw a : hairpan of the common black wire | variety lying upon the sidewalk In- ! stantly. an idea flashed into his mind. He picked up the hairpin, took it to a silversmith, and rsked the la'ter if he ; could draw a silver dollar into a wire 1 much finer than the hairpin. When informed that this could be done. Sims gave instructions for a dollar to be drawn into a wire that had the thinness of a coarse thread; and with this thread of silver ho was able to complete successfully his difficult op eration. thereby banishing a hitherto incurable disease, and establishing a new era in American surgery. In an equally extraordinary manner came the first hint to its originator of what has come to he known in the medical world as the oil treatment in enteric cases, which include appendi citis and typhoid. By originating this treatment Dr. M. O. Terry gained world wide notoriety. Tet until now it has never been published hc^ he got the germ of the idea that caused him to promulgate his famous treat ment. "It was a curious experience, verg ing on the weird, almost, that first led me to the study of medical sufficiency of oil in the treatment of many kinds of enteric diseases, especially ap pendicitis." said Dr. Terry. “I was very fond of olives—and am ret—and it was my custom after a day spent in the hospitals and in fol lowing my private practise, to eat a handful of olives, wi;h a few crp.ek ers on the side, before going to bed. Frequently, I was careless and left the bottle of olives uncorked, so that when I went again to it I usually found the contents inerusted with a sort of scum, and the olives them selves turned sour. Beecher did not wince. He asked the phrenologist if It was too late to begin speaking, and for reply was told: “It's never too late to begin/’ Then the phrenologist walked over to the little group. “That's the first farmer whose head I ever examined who could have been a speaker,” he said. "That man could talk like a steam engine.' “L»o you know who that farmer is?” asked one of the party. “That is Hen ry Ward Beecher." For a moment the phrenologist stood looking In dt:mb amazement at the speaker. Then he dropped his satchel and chart cn the porch and fairly leaped In front of Mr. Beecher. “So you're Henry Ward Beecher,” he shrilled. “To think I've examined your head and told the truth about you! Well, now, you'll believe there's something In phrenology.” And look* ing long and wonderingly at the great pulpit orator, the itinerant phrenol ogist at last gathered up his satchel and chart and disappeared as quietly and mysteriously as he had coma (Copyright. 1919. by R. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) ‘ eil, one night, after a hard day’s ' work, including two very difficult op erations, I fell into a sound sleep. And a dream came to me. It was as vivid as though I were awake. And in it I was told that if. after opening a bottle of olives, I would pour upon the water in which the olives were ; packed in the bottle enough oil com- ! pletely to cover the water, I would have no further difficulty about my oiives souring. “Furthermore, I was told the philo sophy of this. ‘If you pour oil into the bottle,’ it was said to me in the dream, 'it will float upon the top of the water, it will make an absolutely impervious coating. Xo germs from the air can penetrate it. It will i smother, all germs, for that Is the quality of oil. Therefore, your olives will be protected.’ “I awoke, and reached out to my night table, which always stood by my bed, and made a brief note In my note took. Then I went to sleep again. “In the morning I discovered the note upon my table, and I said: ’To night I will make the experiment.' I did so. and found that what had been said to me In the dream was true. The olives were perfectly protected from all germs. “Xow, that set me thinking. I rea soned that if oil were taken into di gestive organs, it would thoroughly insulate them—prevent attacks upon them by bacteria; or. if attack had bebn made, it would smother the forces of illness. I soon had an op portunity to make a test of my newly formed theory, in the case of a child who was dangerously ill. and. to my gratification, I found it worked per fectly. Then I developed the theory to extend it to typhoid fever, and es pecially to appendicitis; and it is through my advocacy of the oil treat ment in the cases of appendicitis that have not yet reached the acute stage, with pus formed—when the knife !s the only remedy—that I have gained professional advocates and opponents pretty much over the civilized world."

All the virtues were Invited. Men He did net ask—only ladies. There was a large number of them, great and small. The lesser virtues were more agreeable and genial than the great mass; but they all appeared to be in good humor and chatted amiably together.

There was an episode in the life of Miss Ada Kehan that did not need the embellishments of the press agent to muke it "go the rounds." In 18SI there was a celebration of the sur render at Yorktown. and a number of Frenchmen of state attended, includ-. ing General Boulanger. Included in the entertainment of those guests, the program of which was assigned by Mr. Blaine, then secretary of state, to Mr. Creighton Webb, was a visit to Italy's theater. The French party was delighted with the play, and es pecially with Miss Rehan. When the Frenchmen were told that Mr. Daly would be pleased to take them on the stage between acts and introduce them to members of the company, Boulanger manifested an excited en thusiasm at the prospect. When Boulanger was introduced to Miss Rehan he soon dropped formali ties. His attentions were conspicu ously demonstrative. He seized her hand, drew her to him and attempted to embrace her. The fiery Rehan, thoroughly Indignant, had difficulty in making the Frenchman believe that she resented his fervor, but some of the members of Daly's company man aged to convince him by laying vio lent hands on him. Then, in turn, the egotistical Boulanger became furious, demanded apologies of Rehan’s defen ders, and poor Webb, being responsi ble for the party and its good behav ior, needed all the tact for which ho was famous to prevent bloody hostil ities. When Boulanger was told that de corum in Daly's theater was the same as in any well regulated family, and. therefore, especially at variance with the standards of some of the Paris stages, he sent rather reluctant apcl> gies to Miss Rehan and left the the ater. * ., Stop aking liquid physic or big or little pills, that which makes you worse "stead of curing.

HEREDITY Can Be Overcome in Cases. The influence of heredity cannot, of course, be successfully disputed, but it can be minimized or entirely over come in some cases by correct food and drink. A Conn, lady says: “For years while I was a coffee drinker I suffered from bilious at tacks of great severity, from which I used to emerge as white as a ghost r.nd very weak. Our family physi cian gave me various prescriptions for improving the digestion and stimulat ing the liver, which I tried faithfully but without perceptible result. "He was acquainted with my fam ily history for several generations hack, and once when I visited him he said: ‘If you have inherited one of those torpid livers you may always suffer more or less from its inaction. We can’t dodge our inheritance, you know.’ "I was not so strong a believer in heredity as he was, however, and, be ginning to think for myself, 1 conclud ed to stop drinking coffee, and see what effect that would have. I feared it would be a severe trial to give it up, but when I took Postum and had It well made, it completely filled my need for a hot beverage and I grew very fond of it. "I have used Postum for three years, using no medicine. During all that time I have had absolutely none of the bilious attacks that I used to suf fer from, and I have been entirely free from the pain and debilitating ef fects that used to result from them. "The change is surely very groat, and I am compelled to give Postum the exclusive credit for it.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Michy * Read "The Road to Wellvllle.” in pkgs.
