I made I'D my mind, soon after grad
uating from college. that no one man
was great enough to master the entire
field of medicine and surgery. Many
physicians have tried to do this. but
they have met with results usually dis
appointing to themselves and often dis
astrous to their patients. For this rea-
son I determined carly in my profess
slonnl career to confine my practice
strictly to u single line of diseases. and
to originating and perfecting cures for
them. I therefore treat only what I
am absolutely certain that can posi-
lively cure to stay cured-VARlCO-
CELE, STRUCTURE. CONTAGIOUS
BLOOD POISON. NERVo-SEXUAL
DEBILITY and all reflex complications
and associate diseases and weaknesses
of men. To these maladies alone tWen-
ty-three of the best years OF my lie
have been earnestly devoted, and on
them all my faculties are concentrated
My consultation and operating rooms
are thoroughly equipped with every SCI

essential to the most modern methods
of practice. and my references. both pro-

society explained. and the membership was
sWelied from sixty to more than 200.
Ihe society had its origin in Russia about
nineteen years ago. Its object was to or
ganize the Jews of all countries into branch
societies. The ultimate object was to raise
FUNDS by different methods for the redemp-
ton of Jerusalem. The organization gradu-
ally grew until its membership embraced
Jews from all quarters of the globe
About two years ago a plan was adopted
whereby each member could subscribe for
so much stock. the poorer classes not being
required to take more than IS. worth of
stock. A repository for the funds, called
the Colonial National Bank, was established
In London. where. at the present time. more
than 600 is deposited. Several colonies
already have been established in Palestine,
and are reported in flourishing condition
Doctor Max Nordau of Germany and Doc
tor Hertzel Of Austria are at the head of
the movement.
The officers Of the local society are: Pres-
dent, Joseph Siegel; treasurer. Morris Man
ny. and secretary. Julius Horwitz. Pres-
dent Siegel expects to have a much larger
membership within the next year, as there
are thousands of Jews in the city eligibls
to membership.
Before the meeting was called last night
the members of the society commemorated
the fall of the two temples of Jerusale
both of which were destroyed on the same
day of the Jewish calendar one 1922 years
ago and the other in the year 70 A. D.

cases of varicocele during the past Il

COAL MINERS SCHEDULE.
Arbitration Committee Reaches an
Agreement.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

t<Ef SIf.ClAlI.
Kansas City. Mo-, Aug. 4-The Arbitra-
tion Committee of Mine Operators and Coal
Miners of Missouri and Kansas. which has
been In session here for three days, agreed
to-day on a wage scale to be paid in the
two States for the new year, beginning Sep
tember l. All branches of labor engaged in
the actual handling of coal get an advance
in wages almost as great as the miners had
asked. 1t was agreed that the wages of I'M
dergrol nd day laborers in the mines should
be increased from s1.75 to Sl.9i a day. and
that the pay of special track repairers and
timber men should be raised from Sl.9O to
s2.12 day. This change is to go into effect
September l. and becomes operative in all
mines in Missouri not under the control of
the big Four as the four large compa-
MES Of the State are called These COM
panies do not recognize the Min. Workers
Union.
The agreement is signed by Howard NJ
Holden and L. J. Loomis for the operators.
Charles Duncan and George Colvile for the
miners and Frank A. Faxon, the wholesale
druggist, who was chosen as the fifth man.
Major r. G. Rombauer, who was president
of the recent meeting Of miners and oper-
ators at Moberly, Mo-. said this morning
that this increase in the wages of mine la
borers would increase the cost of production
of coal, and consequently the retail price
about 121a cents a ton. The operators
thought the increase in the retail price
would be greater than that.
The increase in wages secured by the
miners will amount to over $500 600 for the
ensuing year in the district.
