FOE OF CHILDHOOD’S ENEMY
In the laboratories of the Rockefcl
ler institute, near New York, Dr. Si
mon Flexner and his corps of assist'
ants believe they are about to conquer
that dread disease of childhood, infan
tile paralysis, now epidemic in several
parts of the United States. 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

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

attention of the profession in America.

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. Koaa experts

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

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.

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.

talk like a steam engine. You've got
the biggest development of language
that I have ever met with. And you're

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 '

“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

then, some of us may have our heads

The phrenologist approached Mr.

more than you know about yourself."

Aristocrat and the Ex-Slavs
Feculiar Intimacy That Existed Be
tween Blanche K. Bruce and L. Q.
C. 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.”

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

‘ 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."

Beneficence and Gratitude.
One day the Supreme Being took It
Into His head to give a great banquet
in His Azure palace.
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.
But the Supreme Being noticed two
charming ladies who seemed to be to

The Host gave one of the ladles His
arm. and led her up to the other.

General Boulanger Receives Rough j
Treatment When He Attempts
to Embrace Actress.
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

her room, which she had left wide
open, tightly closed.
“Oh. Mrs.# MacLachlan, X don’t

like plenty of fresh air.’’

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
