Don't patronize the fake advertising
schemes which are everlastingly pre-
scented to you. Nine of ten of these
schemes are valueless as a medium OF
advertising. The only thing they are
good for is to supply some young man
with temporary occupation and gen.
orally good sum of money to line his
vest pockets with. Far better buy
space in your local paper, than to put
your money into these fakes.--St.

typhoid Fever mt Montauk,

Camp Wikoff, Aug. 24.-There were
yesterday 225 cases of typhoid fever at
Montauk Point.
In the opinion Of eminent physicians
pure water Is Indispensable in the sue

In the opinion Of other eminent au-
thorlties the water supply at Montauk
Point is at bsst Of doubtful purity and
even II pure now cannot under condi-
tions existing at the camp, be relied
upon to remain pure.
Notwithstanding this grave situation
and the warnings of eminent authorities
the surgeons in charge refuse to allow
the Red Cross Society to furnish at Ms
own expense distilling plants that would
assure the camp a water supply of un-
doubted and continued purity.

Our Physical Defects as a People.

DIR. Olin F. Harvey, Wilkes-Barre.
Pa, who examined more than a thou
sand men for admissions to the army,
has embodied his observations in a
statement which will interest the
country in general if not the medical
profession in particular. Msny Of
the applicants had to be rejected for
defective vision, and large number
for INSULT lent chest expansion.
"Strange as it may seem," says DR..
Harvey, "nearly all who had narrow
chests were young farmers. Brought
up to run plow or hoe and scrape
the ground with long handled tools,
they had very strong arms and backs,
but were muscle found and bent over.
Their chests had been contracted, and
few OF them could expand on inhala-
tion the requisite two inches" Sum-
ming up DR.. Harvey gives these warn
Ing hints of the rising generation
(1) Lookout for the eyes of the
young, and be careful that they are
not allowed to overwork or strain
them.
(2) Let the young farmer boys,
otherwise vigorous and strong, beware
of the contraction of their chests and
lungs. They ought to try setting. up
exercises as regular routine.
Cd Bicycle riders ought to beware
of scorchlng and racing and of long
and tedious rides through the country.
Ride in moderation.
(4) Take care of the teeth, and
look after them early and persistently.
These suggestions are as vital In
peace as in war and if they should
be persistently inculcated as part of
our national training they would con-
tribute vastly to American health aud
American progress.

New York, Aug. 24.-Lieutenant Hob
son sailed for Santiago on the transport
Seguranca, which left this port yester-
day afternoon. The lieutenant Is firmer
than ever in the belief that he will be
able to raise at least one of the Spanish
warshps, and add 1t TO the United
States navy. The recent tests he has
made with his air bags have been en-
firely successful and he expects them
to do the work laid out for them with
out mishap.
There has never been any doubt as
to the lifting power of the air bags,
but in the earlier tests a difficulty not
anticipated arose. The bags are so ar
ranged that as they near the surface
after having been submerged, the air
is allowed to escape through valves.
This prevents the bags from bursting
as the water pressure on them is re-
lieved.
Owing to some defect in the valve
apparatus the air did not escape from
the bags, as was intended, in the ear
lier tests, and as a result they burst
after their burden had been lifted to
the surface. This has been overcome.
and to doubly guard against failure,
the bags have been made much strou
ger than were the first ones used.
In all about 200 bags will be used by
Lieutenant Hobson, but only a few OF
them have been completed. The bags
will be sent down to Santiago in in
stalments. 1t IS expected that they
will have lifting power of over II, 900
tons.
Objects Of the Merritt wrecking Com
pany. dho have been informed of all of
Lieutenhnt Hobson's plans. are conf
dent that he will succeed in his under
taking.
The Seguranca will arrive in SANTA
