4 II those Of our readers who reside In
the most highly favored sections of this
country, where the climate is healthy
and invigorating. with dry and tonic
atmosphere, will look about them, they
will see agrcater or less number of their
friends and neighbors dying of con.
sumption, while many others have
already been carried off by that dread
malady.
These deaths have occurred from time
to time amid the refreshing prairie
brcezes of summer; in the fair and REL.
low days Of autumn. and also in the dry
end sunny seasons Of southern winter.
Such deaths amid such favorable sur
roundings afford positive and cenvinc-
ing proof that climate alone will not
cure consumption: that neither pine
laden brcezes nor bracing mountain air
will restore weak lungs or build up u
constitution that Is being undermined
and broken down by the insidious germs
of o fatal disease.
But, on the other hand, many thou
sands of testimonials from grateful peo-
pie oil over this country, who have been
cured by the DR.. Slocum System Of
Treatment, and are today in the enjoy
ment of perfectly restored health and
strength, afford the most convincing
evidence that this treatment, aided by
favorable climatic conditions and sur
roundiugs, is a positive cure for Con.
sumption and all other chronic diseases
of the Throat, Chest and Lungs.
Therefore, those who go to the noun
tains, the scashorc or to southern eli.
mates, as we'll as those who already
reside in such favored localities, should
not fail to take the Dr.. Slocu;n System
OF Treatment if they wish TO derive the
full benefits Of favorable climatic condi-
tons and scientific medication. n

Consisting OF Four Preparations is both

No single remedy will accomplish all
this, but the Four Remedies embodied

TIN PLATE WORKS
To Shut Down Friday Owing to
Disagreement 81
OF WAGE SCALE CONFERENCE.
At ChIcaSo.-Fully Fifty Thousand
People Will be Thrown Idlc-work-
men Made a Demand for Twenty
per Cent Increase-All Negotiations
are or.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 2G.-All the
tin plate works in the country will be
closed at midnight on Friday rs re-
suit OF the failure 10 settle the wage
scale at the conference In Chicago.
Fully 10000 persons will be thrown Idle
By the shutdown.
The conference. which opened In Chi
cago on Tuesday morning, closed Sat
urday evening at o'clock without ar
irving ut any agreement. The workers
wage committee, acting under instruc-
lions received from the annual conven-
ton held In Detroit last month, made q
demand for an advance of 20 per cent.
The present wage scale expires on June
80, and the members Of the Amaiga-
mated Association are not permitted to
work after that date unless the new
scale Is signed.
About $4,000 skilled workers are MEM
bcrs Of the association and as many
more are dependent upon them and will
be Idle while the skilled men are un-
employed. Nearly IS per cent. of the
tin plate workers of the country are
employed in western Pennsylvania
mills.
The scale for the tin house men. or
unskilled labor. was arranged several
weeks ago. and provides for big ad-
vance TO some OF the workers and aver
ages nearly 20 per cent. All the tin
plate mills In the country are union
with but few exceptions, but 1t Is not
likely that any of them will continue
In operation.
Secretary Williams. of the Amalga-
mated Association, said to-day that all
the negotiations are off for the present,
and that the matter will have to be re-
ferred to the subordinate lodges. Mr..
Williams said that the manufacturers
offered them an advance, but it was
not as much Us they wanted, and the
committee had no authority to do any
thing except what the convention de.
cidcd on in Detroit. just month ago,
when the conference was brought to an
end.
1t would be impossible. he said. to re-
fer the matter back to the subordinate
lodges this week, much less arrange for
another conference. He would not en-
press an opinion as to the probable ac-
ton OF the lodges. but 1t seems to be the
general impression that there will bo
no modification Of the original demands.

European Grnin Market

LONDON. June 26.-The Mark Lane
Express to-day says the crop prospects
In England and France have improved.
The wheat Is heading In France under
thoroughly satisfactory conditions, and
n Yield of forty million quarters is ex-
pected. Advices from central Europe
show that after allowing for local
troubles full average wheat crop is
promised from the Baltic to the Adri-
ate and from the Rhine to the vlstua.
An almost unbroken story OF crop de-
terioration comes from Roumania, Rus.
STA, East Poland and the east Baltic
provinces.
The Express urges English wheat
holders to hold their grain and thus
defeat an evident attempt Of the Ameri-
cans to bear the market"

Rosenthal made it. But at all events it

having been achieved it was submitted
to the well-known assayists, Messrs.
Johnson, Matthey & Co, Limited, Hat

match contains no trace of yellow phos-
phorus. Mr.. Castle told me that al

taken out for the United Kingdom and
eleven foreign countries Considering
that the discovery was only made on
the LIST of this month this is pretty
smart work.

the invention is a sound and practical

Some time ago, it may be added, the

laboratory. The air was heavy with
gas that made the eyes water and
smart. A few people were standing
about, undergoing the heroic treatment
merely as a precautionary measure
Let me put in a few more pastils,
said Mr.. Maillot, lifting UP one of the
furnaces. He then took about a dozen
small, white disks that had much the
appearance of candy and dropped them
into the top of the furnace.
Instantly a faint white vapor could
be seen issuing from the opening, and
soon it spread all through the room.
Gradually as the paste in the pastils
was consumed they disappeared. Then
there was smarting of eyes and
coughing. But there was no physical
effect as far as weakness was con-
cerned.
When I am disinfecting a room I
use it much stronger. But for this
purpose mild strength is just as eff
fective because we can only expect to
kill the germs in the clothing. Dozens
of people underwent this treatment.
and it undoubtedly went a long way
toward checking the disease.
AT any rate we now have la grippe
under control. No new cases have been
reported to-day and but one yesterday.
I'VE have also had large number Of
diphtheria cases to look out for. Quin-
zy has also been very bad but now
there seems to be an end of them. The
disinfecting apparatus has been used
wherever possible, and l am sure it
has been the means of saving us from
big epidemic. The citizens have all
been anxious to aid us in our work.
That we have done SO we'll has been
entirely due to new scientific meth
ods.''
In connection with the important
work just done by formaldehyde gas in

and Surgeons

bury, and have read a great deal of
literature on the subject, but l have
never heard that it had the power of
producing immunity from infection as
well as being a disinfectant.
THAT it has this power 1 discovered
accidentally a few days ago while
working in my laboratory. And it
seems perfectly natural that such
should be the case if you stop to think
a moment.
Il had a lot of gelatine plates with
disease cultures on them that 1 did not
want. I destroyed them by the fumes
of formaldehyde gas. 1t so happened,
though, that there were also a number
Of fresh plates in the room. That is
the pure gelatine plate in which no dis
ease cultures had been planted.
The next day I planted some Gull
lures in these plates and put them in
the incubator. To my surprise the Gull
lures did not grow at all 1t took me
some time to find out what was the
matter 1t then dawned on me that
the plates were immune. That I am
right in this I have since proved by
experiment, and know positively that
whatever is touched by formaldehyde
gas is immune to any vegetable bac-
terra, such as that of la grippe"

A costermonger was in great trouble.
His little son was dead. The bishop en-
deavored to comfort him to the best of
his power. Rocking to and fro in dis
tress of mind, he suddenly looked at the
bishop, and, with tears running down
his cheeks, said; Dye think 1 could

Then suddenly we were swamped with
cases.
DR.. Mclean had to work almost day
and night. We used pounds of quinine
and pills in the office on city cases, and
still the malady got worse and worse.
Then we got the formaldehyde fur
naces and disinfected everything we
could and soon had the disease under
control. Now it is practically stamped
out.
"One of the clerks in an office in the
City Hall seemed to have a touch of
the disease and he asked to be allowed
to stay in one of the rooms a while
during the time of disinfection. 1 don't
know whether it did him any good or
not, but it certainly prevented him
from carrying any of the germs around
with him, because it killed any that
may have been in his clothes.
Then other people asked for the
privilege of being disinfected and, Of
course. it was permitted. 1t is not ex-
actly a pleasant sensation, but is un-
doubtedly a powerful killer Of microbes
in clothing. And if we can prevent
germs being carried about in this way
we can soon check the disease. Did
you ever see the apparatus wOrk?"
Mr.. Maillot then led the way to the

it must strike everywhere. These con-
ditions Mr. Rosenthal and his partner
claim to have fulfilled, and. moreover,
they claim that their matches can be
manufactured as cheaply as the ordi-
nary ones and by the same machinery
and staff.
There is no excuse, therefore, for any
manufacturer of "phossy jaw matches
to hesitate in giving this new discovery
a trial.

Alameda al once went to work

fighting apparatus, and in ten days
completely knocked out the misery pro-
ducing plague. At the same time there
was almost an epidemic of diphtheria
prevailing, and this has also been
brought under control by the united eff
