A Medical Man Says That as a Rule They
Are Flat Sided.
Consumptives have fiat sided heads
This interesting discovery has been
made by DR.. Mark L Knapp of New
York. His paper on the subject, read
before the New York County Medical
association, is printed in The Medical
Record
One of the conclusions Of DR.. Knapp
is that tuberculosis can neither be in
fictitious nor communicable. This is the
opinion held by DIR. Shrady, editor of
The Medical Record, and is the opinion
not held by DR.. Wilson and his associ-
ates of the New York city board of
health.
However this deduction is regarded
by medical men generally, DR.. Knapp
does not intend to be understood as say
ing that the fact that a man has a fiat
sided head (called medically a plano
parietal hoad) either already has or that
he OF necessity is doomed to have tuber-
culosis. That this assumption would be
absurd DR.. Knapp shows by saying that
centenarians and athletes are recruited
from the ranks of the plano-parietals
Nor does he wish to be understood as
meaning that tuberculosis modifes the
contour of a head which previously had
been of a different shape. Dr.. Knapp
says his statements are substantiated by
a few hundred cases, of which ATT were
collected from four New York hospitals
In all these cases only four exceptions
to the rule were found.
The most important conclusion
reached by Dr.. Knapp is that the foun-
dation Of tuberculosis is laid in early
life, and therefore che way to ave the
adult is to guard the child

THE GENIUS OF THE W. c. T.. U. n
EIGHT AND EIFTy

THE GENIUS OF THE W. G. T. U. NOW
EIGHT N FIFTY.
To-day (Sept. 2S) the thoughts of
White Ribboners all round the world
will be turned to their great and we'll
loved leader, Frances E. Willard, who
has just completed fifty-eight years OF
helpful, useful life.
For twenty.three years she has been
working for the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union. While wondering in
what direction she could best help In the
fight against intemperance she received
two letters by the same mail; one max
ing her the offer of a pr~inoipalship Of a
girls seminary at $2400 q year, and the
other asking her to be president of the
Chicago W. G. T. U. at nothing a year
She unhesitatingly chose the latter. Miss
Willard first served the National W. C.
T. U. as corresponding secretary. IL
1879 she was elected president and has
been annually reelected aver since. Sht
is the founder of the Worlds w. G. T
q, and has been president since 1887
NJ iss Willard is quick to see the needs OF
the organization and wise in putting the
right woman in the right PLACE; as there
are forty departments of work to which
she must appoint superintendents it can
be imagined that hers is no easy task
Miss Willard is q pioneer in many
lines, leading where others hardly dare
to follow. On the question of woman's
suffrage she was far ahead of her som
rades and was convinced of the justice
of ths movement long before it was es-
tablIshed IS . department Of the W. G.
T. II.
One of Che most soted women who is
working with Miss Willard in the white
ribbon movement is Lady Henry Somer-
set. who leads the forces in England, and
is vice president of the Worlds W. G. T.

Official Vote on Amendments.

The official canvass of the votes cast at
the special election last Tuesday on the
constitutional amendments was not com
pleted until Tuesday in all the counties
throughout the State. Owing to irregu-
%larities in the signing of returns by the
election officers Of one precinct in Hudson
county and one in Camden county the
canvassing boards of those counties were
obliged to take an adj ournment until
Wednesday, after sending the returns
back for correction.
When the canvass of those counties was
completed it was found that the official
majority for the anti.gambling amend.
ment was 1856 in the State. The ad interim
appointment amendment received 1905
majority, and the majority. against
woman's suffrage was 1926 These
figures will be confirmed by the State
Board of Canvsssers, which will meet at
Trenton on Tuesday, October 10.
Governor Griggs appointed as members

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only mt way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infamed condition of the

When this tub is inflamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result; and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflammed condition of the

The Amendments.

After all two of the amendments to
the Constitution are passed, and the
blight of q race-track. lottery gambling
epithet cannot now bestain the fair fame
of Jersey. Praise God for this result, for
it was only through the forces of light
against darkness that such a result was
made possible. The individual faithful
ness of the more than 800, 900 voters of
the State was scarcely apparent, else
there would have been such an over
whelmipg majority in favor of the
amendments, that the daily press
throughout the country would not have
heralded forth the blighting stigma that
it did upon New Jerseys name.
Less than 10, 900 votes cast, all told.
Surely this is an aw full illustration Of
what a mighty stumbling block is the in.
different strata of u body polite, of our
Christian (?) manhood. 1t 10 this very
element to-day that is making possible
the damning saloon upon every hand. 1t
is ibis element that is barring the pro.
gress of our commonwealth, of our
country, to a more rapid progress toward
a higher, a more CHRISTIAN civilization.
What are we going to do about it +?
Be faithful. and agitate, agitate, ACETATE !!

NOT FOR EVERYTHING

But If You have kidney, liver or
bladder trouble you will ind Swamp
Root just the remedy You need. People
are not apt to get anxious about their
health soon enough. If you are mot
quite we'll" or "half sick" have you ever
thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside your
urine for twenty four hours; q sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy condi-
ton Of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is evidence Of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to u~ripate, scanty
supply, pain or dull ache in the back is
also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder need doetoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing that
the great remedy DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.
Root, fulfills every wish in relieving
weak or diseased kidneys and all. forms
of bladder and urinary troubles. Not
only does Swamp Root give new life and
activity to the kidneys-the cause of
trouble, but by treating the kidneys it
acts as a tonic for the entire constitution.

Some of the Things Which Every Good
Housekeeper Should Know.

Some of the Things Which Every Good
Housekeeper Should Know.
"Our grandmothers did without bak-
any difficulty in preparing quick
dough, writes Ella Morris Kretschmar
in The Woman's Home Companion.
"But n wonders if results were not
oftentimes crude because of the nice
care necessary in using soda. In fact,
there are certain legends respecting
greenish yellow or spotted biscuit at
which the present generation of house
keepers smile, thanks to baking DOW
der. Soda, an alkali very injurious to
the stomach, should never be used with
out an acid to render it a neutral salt,
as cream of tartar, muriatic acid or
sour milk, and the proportion must be
exact or the mixture will be either acid
or alkaline,
pure baking powders are simply a
mixture of b~icarbonate of soda and
cream of tartar in their proper proper
lions, with perhaps twice their COM
bined weight of rice -four, cornstarch
or plain flour to insure their keeping.
Ii really pure, they cannot be called in
furious, the danger lying in the use of
powders having impure ingredients, of
which quantities are doubtless sold
daily. So sensible have housekeepers
become Of these authorizations that many
are going back to the use Of soda and
cream of tartar, the use of which, as in
Dictated, requires both intelligence and
care. Ii n is dependent upon the
average cook a standard baking powder
is the safest reliance.
"Ln the making of quick coughs (by
use either of baking powder or soda and
cream OF ~tartar) there are two points
not given in any cookbook, SO far as the
writer knows, which add greatly to per-
lection in results. To make such dough
proceed as follows:
Into one quart Of -four (measured
before sitting put a level t~easpoonful
OF salt and 2 heaping t%easpoonfuls of
baking powder, or a level teaspoon
full OF soda and 2 rounding ones of
cream of tartar, mix thoroughly with
the hands and then sift twice. Next
add a heaping tablespoonful of butter
or butter and lard mixed, rub up
lightly with the hands and again put
through the sieve, pressing the last
heavier part through with the fingers or
hand Now toss the mixture lightly
about as when first putting in the bak-
ing powder, and it will be found that
the shortening is distributed with per-
feet evenness through the flour. Have
ready a scant pint Of sweet milk in a
mixing bowl and into this put half of
the flour. Beat hard for a few minutes,
when the mixture will be as smooth as
satin. Add rapidly the rest of the -four,
roll out quickly, cut (if for biscuit) and
bake at once in a rather hot oven.
"Some fours require more wetting
than others, but the rule for guidance
is "a dough as soft as can be handled.
A little flour more or less will not
spoil the general result if other direc-
tions are carefully followed

Since Grover Cleveland las become a
resident OF New Jersey all sorts of snug
berths are being. provided for him in the
imagination of newspaper reporters.
The latest are that he is to be made a
judge on the bench Of the Court of Errors
and Appeals, or to be elected United
States Senator in place of Senator Smith.
AS Mr.. Cleveland is still q Democrat,
though the. New York San and many
others of that party would probably deny
the statement, and the power to make
judges and United States Senators in New
Jersey is Republican, there are a good
many contingencies to happen bsfore such
action could be eonsummated, however
honorable, it might be to Mr.. Cleveland
and d~esirable>to his friends. Ex-Presi-
dent Harrison seems to be getting along
pretty welFin private life, and no doubt
Mr.. Cleveland can find enough between
his law practice in New York, his home
at Princeton and his fishing excursions in
Bay to occupy all his time.
