"OUR NEW SOUTH" FLOU


1t is well-known fact that great deal
OF the flour sold throughout the country is
aduiterated White clay and plaster of
paris have frequently been found in many
brands, and while neither of these are
directly poisonous. yet they are certainly
iIdigestible, and therefore must necessarily
make bread and cake that is unwholesome
and injurious. Housekeepers cannot be too
careful in selecting -four for home use.
When reliable brand is found they should,
like Capt Cutie, make a note o. it."
Our New South Flour milled by
Messrs. W. H. Tenney & Sons, Seth and
Water streets. is one flour that can be relied
upon to be free of all impurities and adult
teTations. II has been used for many years
by the old resident families of Georgetown
and Washington, and the fact that the de-
mand for IL has steadily increased Is the
highest compliment that could be paid to
Its general excellence. IT is nnilled solely of
the Hnest winter wheat, grown in the
southern states There is no doubt that
winter wheat flour makes wholesome aud
nutritious bread. "Our New South" Flour
is sold by all grocers throughout the city.

Mr.. ALIENS APPOINTMENT
Qualification of Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans.
Need of Good Fighter on Their Side
in the Senate-WfIl of the
People Nullif1ed.

The appointment of ex-senator Allen to
fill the vacancy caused by the death Of
Senator Hayward gives great satisfaction
to the democrats, populists and silver re-
publicans of the Senate. Mr.. Allen 1s,
above all things, Bryan man. Being
nomnally a populist, he has been con-
sistent champion of Bryan since the scin-
tillations of this silver crusade began TO
light the western horizon. 1t was due to
the influence of Allen more than that of
any other man that the populist convention
in 1896 nominated Bryan for the presidency
after his nomination by the democratic
party, and whan. during the campaign, the
middle-of-the-road populists of the south
began to make trouble for the democrats,
Allen was instrumental in holding the west
erri populists in line for the Bryan ticket
His influence has been potent in preserving
the cooperation between the populsts and
the democrats in Nebraska, and before his
retirement from the Senate he was recog-
niZed as he will be on his return, the
personal representative in the Senate OF
Mr.. Bryan.
Need of Good Fighter.
1t is not alone this which renders his re-
turn to the Senate gratifying to all the
silverites in that body. His fighting quail

females besides suffered from other lung
troubles. Thus, about 20 per cent. of the
total were consumptives, and about 50 per
cent. altogether were sufferers from dis
eased lungs. The Industrial workers, Of
course. were most affected. While but &c
per cent of the male and So of the female
rural laborers were affected with lung
tuberculosis, the Industrial toilers so af-
fected numbered II per cent. OF the males
and 14.9 per cent. of the females among
the insured in the Invalid Fund. More
over, the danger is much greater among
the young than among the middle-aged or
old. Nearly half the consunptives receiv-
ing benefit from the insurance fund be-
cause of tuberculosis were between twenty
and twentyfour. Thus, then. by these
official statistics 1t is shown for tie first
time in any country that it is the most
valuable part of the laboring classes that
is moved down by the disease.
An enormous number of papers were
read, and most of them led TO discussion
The three languages permitted were Ger
man, French and English. number of
the foreign delegates understood German
sufficiently to express themselves in that
language and that insured them more at
tention and more hearers than those who
read or spoke in either French or English,
for, of course, the bulk of the delegates
were German or German-Austrian, or
Scandinavians (all of whom spoke German
fuently), while those present understand
ing English well were but a score or SO.
The Spanish delegate, DR.. Ferran, even,
spoke in German, having learned it while
studying here some years ago, but the
larger number Of those from the Latin
nations used French which is much more
generally understood In Germany than is
English. The few who read papers in Eng
lish or made remarks in that language
labored, of course, under this disadvan-
tage. DR.. Herman Weber, the eminent
English specialist. and DR.. Won SchweinitZ,
representing the Department of Agricult-
ure in Washington, both OF whom are OF
German extraction, used German.
From number of papers read by Profs.
Flugge of Breslau, Frankel OF Halle, Pfeif-
fer of Berlin, Loffler of Greifswsld, the
congress adopted as facts scientifically
proven: That the tubercle bacillus is the
sole cause of tuberculosis of every form;
that every person and every animal whose
secretions contain those bactilli, especially
in most cases become mixed
with the pure tubercule bacilli, and jointly
produce a complicated disease known as
consumption of the lungs; that tubercul-
osis is not hereditary, and that it may, I'M
der almost any circumstances, be cured, II
conditions are favorable; that immunity
from danger OF tuberculous Infection does
not exist anywhere nor with anybody.

TO STAND BY THE WEST

70 STAND BY THE WEST

Boston, June 2o-Mr. John Barrett
United States minister to Siam during the
Cleveland administration, spoke before
the Boston chamber Of commerce this
afternoon regarding the Philippines and
the extension of the United States trade
in the far east. He said in art:
'If we fail to hold the Philippines and
10 protect our rights throughout the far
east, the United States will not only be-
come a secondary power in the great
Pacific, where, by natural position and
the hand Of God we are intended to be
forever first, but the Pacific coast states
will experience the most demoralizing and
destructive blow to their progress and
prosperity that could possibly be given
them. 1 appeal TO you as representative
citizens OF Boston and Massachusetts, and
through you to the people of all New
ngland Ito unite with, and support, the
Pacific coast states in a policy which will
not only insist upon our meeting and
mastering courageously and successfully
our unavoidable obstacles in the Philip
pines, but upon our taking legitimate adj
vantage OIL me commercial opportunities
that result from the occupation Of the
islands, both in their own splendid field
and in the larger and wider one which
reaches all the way to Java and Siam on
the south and to japan and Siberia on
the north. The full exploita ton Of these
far eastern markets and opportunities
applies almost in the same measure to
New England. TO the middle states. to
the south and to the great central west
In other words, the whole country, east
and west, north and south, Is vitality con-
cerned in the expansion OF American
commerce and influence throughout the
Pacific seas. If the far east wants the
-four. the timber, and other food and
manufactured products of the Pacific
coast, it wants also the cotton goods Of
New England; the cotton goods and the
raw cotton Of the south; the manufac-
tured iron, steel and miscellaneous pro-
ducts, as well as the petroleum, of the
middle states; and it wants these pro-
ducts, together with the maize, or Indian
meal and -four, of the great central
west"

ANTI-CONSUMPTION CONGRESS
Some Reason to DOubt whether Much
Good Came oft

Berlin, June 19.-The so-called Tubercul-
osis Congress, or, as it was officially term
ed, the International Congress for the Re
striction of Tuberculosis as a Disease of
the Masses has come and gone. The dele
gates and unofficial participants OF it have
scattered all over Germany, and the for
eigners are now engaged for the most part
in studying the methods pursued for the
treatment Of patients IN the new ''Volks-
heilstatten'-L e.,ths charitable or semi
charitable asylums erected all over Ger
many. with the active cooperation of the
Empress. Many believe that this, namely
the knowledge Of the cost, manner and eff
ficieney Of these institutions, and the Incl
dental incentive to emulate the example
thus given by Germany, will constitute the
main result so far as IL can be practically
computed, Of the congress. For it must be
borne IN mind that in these days Of tele-
graph, telephone and cheap press, phySi-
clans. no matter how great and how mod
est. do not wait for congresses to let the
world know any new discovery in either
the treatment of pulmonary diseases or the
nature of them. In other words. science,
properly speaking. has not gained any
thing by the recent congress. All the facts
cited there; all the papers read; all the
logma promulgated by more or less emin-
ent physicians. were known before the
congress opened. and no startling an
nounccments were made. But there was a
great rubbing together of fine medicalin-
telect.

ford added: Eat this, Sloan and his COM
panion went for the waiter. the latter hit
ting the waiter in the face with his fist.
while Sloan hit him with a champagne
bottle, which, however, was not broken.
OF course, We. in England, regard an at
tack with a bottle as desptcable and as
bad as drawing a knife, but, in Sloans
case, there was, first, great provocation.
The walter undoubtedly began the quarrel.
Secondly, the waiter was a great, hulking
chap. weighing PA pounds. while Sloan 10
a little man, incapable of fighting him on
equal terms. Sloan was ober. Before you
judge him too harshiy, think of what he
has gone through. He was first made
popular hero, and latterly strong tide of
opposition has ct in against him, presum-
ably because people have lost money. Ger
tainly. the Jockey club will not suspend
his license. The case is not within its
jurisdiction. When he was previously I'M
fairly treated it did not interfere. because
we-believe in letting him fight his own
battles, and there is no doubt he has had
a battle to fight. We have had anonymous
letters saying Sloan is a dead man If he
does not leave England immediately. The
public ought to be informed of the great
provocation under which Sloan acted"
The anti-Sloan demonstration which was
expected to take place at the Catwick
meeting today did not materialize. There
was some cheering when his mount won
the selling handicap.

over the successful results of the exert
ments with serum produced at his labora-
tory, for the prevention of yellow fever.
For the past eighteen months DR.. Doty
and his assistants have been producing
the serum at the quarantine laboratory
and have inoculated a number Of guinea
pigs previously fed with germs of yellow
fever. For some time the experiments
have been doubtful in their results, but
for the past month or six weeks they have
succeeded in reserving the lives Of the
animals. thus affording sure evidence Of
the value OF the serum in the prevention
of yellow fever. DR.. Doty says he will

be used with success in the preservation
Of the lives Of yellow fever patients.
