This Is measure Of the Wool Growers
association and is designed to compel
manufacturers TO use pure wool in

more shoddy is used IN American cloths
than ever before, and that II Is very
bad. Shoddy ns now manufactured

simply wool which has once been used.

HE ACCEPTS TIE ISSUE.

The pres ideIi has disappointed those

will i, be possible TO decide whether
they are to exist independently Of us
or to he knit to us by ties Of common
friendship and interest"
This Is practical because II involves
n definite test Of fitness for self.goy-
crnnent by extended elf-goycrnment
as fast as orderi is restored. That proc

sistance to the United States has
ceased the natives enter Immediately
into the exercise OF the elementary
forms Of civil activity. They have n
voice in the choice of their local Off
GERS. They have voice In the levy ing
Of taxes and the determination of the
use Ia which the taxes shall hc put.
They have representation In the nd.
ministration of the law and 81 justice,
They supply the local police. They
share in the regulation and in the hcne'

BALTIMORE. Dec. 20-A patient at the
Johns Hopkins Hospital is said by the
physicians there to be suffering from a
disease which. 80 far as records 60. only
once before appeared in this State. The
disease is known as ankylostoma, or, in

that the most striking visible symptom
is an increasing Discrimination for physical
exertion Of any kind and the most extreme
lassitude.
The authorities at the hospital refuse to
divulge the name OF the patient under
treatment. but say that he is from the
South and came to the hospital three weeks
ago, saying that his brother had recently
died from disease the symptoms of which
were like those with which he was afflicted.
He said that he had become alarmed and
had decided to enter the hospital

mortem examination in the former case
the physician had no trouble in diagnosing

Hospital and the head Of the Government
Bureau of Zoology in Washington.
