Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. EAT plenty Of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
SCOTS EmulS ioniSthemod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the c%onSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
Of cod liver oil and hyPophos-
phiteS in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

The recent expulsion of the re-
ligious schools from France is due to
the refusal Of the several orders of
nuns and monks to comply with what
is called "the law of associations, "
enacted by the French chamber of
deputies two years ago. This law
places all religious ordersand associa-
tons under the jurisdiction Of the
civil authorities, and requires them
to make regular reports Of all their
affairs and transactions, their rev
enues and expenditures and every
thing they do, to the minister Of pub
lie worship. The monks and nuns are
placed on the same level as ordinary
corporations, charitable societies, be-
neyolent associations, mutual insur-
ance companies and other organiza-
tions Of that sort.

dry and wreak vengeance. But a.
the soldiers were drawn up in line
for the expedition cyclone came
which prevented them from moving,
and when the roads were again pas
sable they were sent elsewhere.
The devout Foxhall saw in this
storm providential interposition,
and he declared that he would build
church and dedicate it to the God
whom he worshiped. He owned tho
valuable corner lots on Fourteenth
and G streets, decided them to a lit
tie church organization, and thereon
erected the church which he caused
to be named after the old Foundry
chapel of John Wesley, in London.
Thus it was not named after his
Georgetown foundry, as many have
supposed. The people wanted to call
it Foxhalps church, but he declined
to have his name thus honored, when,
as he said: 81 am honoring God in
this work" So, you see, there is lots
Of history connected with this land
mark which they are destroying to
make room for tall modern Office
building.
The matchlessly eloquent Bishop
Mathey Simpson was holding a mis-
sionary meeting in Old Foundry ono
evening, and was raising funds with
which to send the Gospel to the
heather, when some one proposed to
make President Lincoln, who was

the missionary society. Membership
cost $500 for each individual. A SUBJ
scription was started at once, the
first subscription being $40, when Mr..
Lincoln arose, and stretching forth
his long arm with index finger point
ed at the bishop, cried out: "This
is the first time in my life that was
ever put on the block. Let me pay
my own money, and take me down."
There were shouts of laughter, and
Mr.. Lincoln paid the money out Of
his own pocket, and became a men,
Der of the society.
The trustees have been directed to
secure ground elsewhere and build
thereon another church and they can
do so with the large amount Of
money which has been received for
the old property. They will perpet-
uate the name of the Foundry
church, but the landmark will be
gone just the same.

Cleveland and his wife worshiped is

morning he walked there with his IN
valid wife during the many years Of
his service in the national house OF
representatives. He became well ac-
guainted with all of the members of
the church, and frequently took part
in their services of prayer ard praise.
After he was inaugurated as president
the people Of the old Foundry were
bitterly disappointed when Mr.. Nc
Kinley went to the Metropolitan
church in another part of the city. He
did SO at the earnest insistence of his
old friend Bishop Newman, who had
been pastor of the Metropolitan when
Grant, Logan and other eminent men
of that day had been worshipers there.
John Quincy Adams, Andrew jack
son, James K. Polk and Abraham Lin
coin often worshiped there. President
Hayes and his wife were active MEM
bers of this church during the four
years of their residence in the white
house. Grant, Cleveland, Harrison,
Garfield and Arthur have at times at
tended service in the same place. And
now the walls are coming down. This
landmark will soon be "reminiscences
to those who are fast following to the
tomb the men and women whose spirit
ual welfares have been conserved on
the hallowed spot.
The Foundry church was erected
originally by one of the converts of
John Wesley, in England. Henry w.
Foxhall was converted in the old
Foundry chapel, in London, where
John Wesley held forth in the days
of his might as an exhorter and re-
former. Foxhan came to this coun-
try, settled in Georgetown, and es-
tablished there a gun foundry, which
furnished field pieces for the Ameri-
can army in the war of 1912. The
battle of Lake Erie was postponed
for some weeks in order to give Fox
hall time to complete some cannons
for Perry's feet and transport them
to the lakes. When the British held
possession Of this city in 1914, and
were destroying the white house,
capitol and other public buildings,
they planned the destruction of Fox
halls foundry and intended to cap
ture Foxhall and deal with him sum-
marily, claiming that he had never
ceased to be citizen of Great Brit
ain, while furnishing guns for the
American government. 1t was
planned that on August 26 regi-
ment should go to the Foxhall foun-

Seward, secretary of state, resided
when he was assaulted and left for
dead by an assassin on the night when
Abraham Lincoln was killed; house
which was for many years the home
of James G. Blaine, and in which
that most distinguished political
leader breathed his last, there stands
to-day theater. And there is moth
ing, neither stone nor tablet, to
mark it as one of the historic spots
of this city. With the passing of the
present generation, the historic asso-
Citations will also fade.
History will always record the fact
that President Lincoln was shot by
Booth in Ford's theater, on Tenth
street in this city. But the old build
ing was not preserved. On the con-
trary, it was transformed so that it
bears no resemblance to the place in
which Lincoln was shot, and can
never be restored to that former
condition. For well-nigh 30 years it
has been, occupied by the surgeon
generals Office of the war depart
ment. and it is filled with shelves
bearing records of the sick and
wounded soldiers receiving treat
ment during the war of the rebellion.
There is a bill before congress pro-
yiding for the purchase and preser-
walton of Fort Stevens battlefield
park. a large tract of land in the Dis
trict of Columbia, north of this city;
but it is almost entirely too late.
The ground upon which was fought
the battle of July IL, 1864, has been
taken by real estate agents, and
great deal of it has been subdivided
for sale as suburban lots. And yet
this spot is historic because on the
date mentioned the forces under the
conferedate general Early came with
in five miles of the capitol building,
within four miles of the white house
and treasury. They were after the
bullion of the treasury, and also ex-
pected to capture President Lincoln
at the same time. Gen. Grant sent
the lighting Sixth" corps to the
rescue. They arrived just in the nick
of time, and drove away the invad-
mo veterans Of the southland. Al
most 40 years have elapsed, and not
until within week has any bill ever
been introduced for the purpose of
preserving this historic ground.
On Pennsylvania avenue, within one
block of the treasury, there stood
famous hotelwhich has been destroyed
tn make room for modern structure.
The old hostelry was built in 1886 and
was originally used by the post Office
department. From its portals there
went forth for Inauguration as presi-
dents of the United States Martin Van
Buren,, James K. Polk, Zachary Taylor,
Willard Fillmore. James Buchanan,
Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant.
Rutherford B. Hayes and James A.
Garfield. But that landmark exists no
more. 1t is gone.
And now they are tearing down the
walls of one of the Oldest churches in
this city, place where many eminent
men in public life have worshiped, the
spiritual home of several presidents,
and one beneath the roof of which
William Mckinley often listened to the
preaching of the Word, and where he
was sometimes heard in prayer meet
ings.
The Foundry Methodist church was
only one block north of the hotel

the way the dog struck him on the

Efforts Toward determination at Manila

The efforts of the Philippines Commis-

Mia are meeting with much success
In report on the subject. forwarded TO
the War Department by the Commission.
Major l. NJ Maus surgeon, United States
Army and commissioner of public health
I'm Manila. SAYS that between September,
1901. and February. 1902. 33,712 rats have
been caught by the official rat catchers
and natives.
OF this number, 30. 1856 were examined for
infection. at the health boards laboratory.
Two hundred and twenty bubonlc
plague rats were found or seven-tenths
of l per cent of the number examined
In January, 1915 rats were examined,
and of these, fifty-one were found to be
infected. three-tenths of l per cent for
the month.
From which. It would appear, says
Major Maus, that the disease among rats
is gradually disappearing Should plague
entirely disappear from the rodents, there
would be strong probability OF the ter
mination CT the present epidemic.
No plague cases were reported In Janu-
sry. The last case was reported Decem-
ber "a, 1901. Eighteen cases occurred in
Manila in February, 1900. and four in Jan
uary, 1901. In 1901 the disease was most
prevalent In March, when sixty-four cases
occurred while in 1901 the climax was
reached in May. with 124 cases.
Every house in which infected rats were
found WAS remodeled. cleaned and disin-
fected.
