Boston's Stamp Saving Society.

bOSIOhb oSomp saving bocioty'
Two bills are now before. congress
looking to the establishment Of the
national postal savings bank system,
80 warmly recommended by Post
master General Gary. What such a
system would do may be gathered
from the results OF the Stamp Saving
society Of Boston. Seven years ago
last October philanthropists engaged
IN various enterprises helpful to the
poor in Boston organized this society.
It's aim was particularly to induce
the children OF the very poor to Gull
tivate the habit of thrift which in
later life might lift them out of pen
ury. In Boston, if anywhere, with
the traditions Of generations of New
England thrift and industry in its
favor, such an organization would
succeed.
The result has been beyond the
founders expectations. The plan is
this: Stamps are printed tastefully
representing the face value OF sums
from l cent up to fifty cents. When
anybody brings money TO deposit, he
receives in exchange IL stamr the size
of an ordinary postage stamp. This
is to be kept and returned when he
wishes to draw his money ont. Strong
MANILA envelopes are furnished in
which to keep the stamps.
The society has made inroads on
the income Of the candy dealers IN
the neighborhood of the savings sta
tons, of which there are in Boston
100. The child has found that there
is more satisfaction in saving up peu-
MES till they can buy something
worth while than in swallowing at a
gulp cents worth Of candy and hav.
ing nothing left. In some cases very
poor children have saved $40 by this
plan. At one of the stations in Bos-
ton the public school children depos-
tied in 1897 almost $1,000.
The chiidren's parents, chiefly
humble wage earners, have become
profoundly interested in their young
ones bank accounts. The privileges
of the savings stamps are open to
grown people rs well as children,
and thousands Of humble workers
have availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity to deposit little sums which
they wasted before and which IN a
lump helped tlde them over tight
place. The result of this private I'M
dertaking ill Boston goes to show
that United States postal savings
bank system would be a boon to
small wage earners and a step to-
ward the adjustment OF poverty.

No event has more strikingly illus
trated the value of the educational
work which has been done on tenn
perance lines in this country during
the past twenty-five years than the
Kentucky episode. Temperance
workers should take courage. Their
cause was never so strong in popular
approval as to-day, and the persistent
efforts which have created the wide
spread feeling against the drink habit
will be just as potent in breaking
down the drink traffic, if wisely EN-
ployed. You cannot, however, legis-
late mans appetite. Moral per-
saasion is the only effective and
proper lever.

The War investigation.

President McKinley's commission
OF eminent and experienced citizens
to investigate the administration of
the War Department III the late war
with Spain started their labors on
Monday. Gen. Grenville NJ. Dodge,
one of the few surviving corps com
manders of the civil war, is at the
head of the commission. He is of
- the character of man that will see
that justice is done that we shall
have the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. There were
and are still weak spots in the War
Department, but most OF the hue
and cry arises from political motives
1t is said that the President is
highly pleased with the personnel OF
the Commission, and that he has
supreme confidence in the feeling that
whatever its findings may be the
country will be satisfied. Mr.. Nc
Kinley, with his usual frankness and
his desire to do the right and proper
thihB "lthoub iShI VI luNOii III sclcCb-
ing the individuals who were to com

them represent all phases of public
and political feeling, every section Of
the country and all classes of bust
ness, professional, commercial and
military, Republicans, Democrats,
IJnionists. Confederates are all rem
resented.
Now, il the newspapers will call a
halt on themselves and give the Com.
mission IA chance, the end will un.
doubtedly be satisfactory to all con
cerned-that is, the people.

HOSPITAL SENT BILLS.
And No More Soldiers WIN Be Sent
to CIvil Hospitals.


to Clvil Hospitals.
Middetown, Pa. Sept. 3O-Surgeon
General Sternberg has instructed Chief
Surgeon Girard to send no more pa
tients to city hospitals from Camp
Meade. The conduct of the trustees
of the Good Samaritan Hospital, of
Lebanon, is largely responsible for the
surgeon generals action. After ten
dering the good offices OF the hospital
staff, the trustees wrote to Governors
Pingree and Bushnell demanding pay
for treating soldiers from Michigan
and Ohio. These communications were
forwarded to the war department, and
from there to Colonel Girard He at
once notified the trustees that they
would be allowed 60 cents a day for
each soldier patient and that no more
patients would be sent to that hospital,
or to any other civil hospital.
The health conditions at Camp Meade
are such that Colonel Girard thinks it
viii not be necessary to relieve the hos
pitfalls by sending sick soldiers to in
stitutions away from camp The Red
Cross Society is doing splendid work.
and if necessary the society will fit
up hospital in Philadelphia for the
care of sick soldiers that may be sent
from Camp Meade. Forty patients
were sent to Lebanon Hospital after
repeated offers from the president and
trustees of that institution.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its Ex.
cessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place and
indispensable i'll the kitchen and for cooking
and washing purposes, but it was never i'll
tended for a medicine, and people who use it
as such will some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to re
ieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which
thousands Of people practice almost daily, and
one which is fraught with danger; moreover
the soda only gives temporary relief and in
the end the stomach trouble gets worse and
worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irritant to the
walls of the stomach and bowels and cases
are on record where it accumulated in the in
testncs, causing death by Inflammation or
peritonitiS.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyspep
sia) an excellent preparation sold by druggists
under the name of Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets.
These tablets are large 20 grain lozenges,
very pleasant 10 taste and contain the natural
acids, peptones and digestive elements essen
tial to good digestion, and when taken after
meals they digest the food perfectly and
promptly before it has time to ferment, sour
and poison the blood and nervous system.
Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably uses
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases Of
stomach arrangements and finds them GER
tain cure not only for sour stomach, but by
promptly digesting the food they create a
healthy appetite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They are
not a cathartic, but intended only for stomach
diseases and weakness and will be found
reliable in any stomach trouble except cancer
of the stomach.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at soc per package.

Prohibition Probably Wins in Cnnndn.

Quebec, Sept SO.-Reports from all
parts of the Dominion indicate that the
vote for and against prohibition has
been larger than expected. The heaviest
vote against prohibition will be cast in
the province of Quebec. Here the
French clergy have counseled their peo-
pie to vote against prohibition, on the
ground that prohbitory laws would
only make law breakers, and that
smuggling and violation of the law
would be greatly increased. The indi-
cations are that prohibition has been
carried by large majority, but prob
ably not more than one-half the regis
tered vote of the Dominion has been
