Young RooseveIt's Illness.

tiles that the morbid conditions of the
| so-called "lung fever" cannot be hasten
ed by specific forms of medication. This
condition of affairs is explained by the
nature of the changes going on In the
deeper pulmonary structures. The dis
ease takes regular course of develop
ment and Is divided into three distinct
stages. The first Is one OF congestion
due to a general engagement of the
blood vessels of the part, the second is
that of the solidifcatiou of lung tissue
by the accumulation of secretions in the
finer air tubes, and the third is the soft
ening, disintegration and expectoration
OF the effused material.
The crisis marks the commencement OF
the clearing of the previously clogged
tubes, and there is then a general and
quite rapid fall Of temperature, with a
corresponding decline of all the gray r
symptoms. This latter event Is now the
reasonable hope which must be enter
taired by a nation now so anxiously
awaiting fresh news from the bed Of the
sick boy in the Groton dormitory.
Regarding the cause of the sickness in
his class and 10 that of number of his
schoolmates there have been many con-
lectures offered. 1t would appear that
the pneumoaia took on the rather un-
usual form OF an epidemic invasion and
was In a great measure governed by GER
tain local conditions not yet determined.
The quickly fatal issue of the first case
gives color to such II suspicion, especi-
| ally when we learn that cerebrO spinal
meningitis was the complicating and
determining factor.
Infectious pneumonias of this charac-
| ter are not uncommonly met with 10
schools, prisons, factories and barracks,
and are supposed to be caused by an
| extraordinary virulence of the microbe
causing the trouble. 1t then often be-
| comes more a question of general and
overwhelming systemic poisoning than
| the mere localization of pulmonary in
lfiammation. Thus the brain and spinal
cord may receive the full force of the
virus, producing meningitis, or the heart
| may become affected, or the peritoneum
| be involved in the infection, the lungs
themselves being only nsigniflcantly
| attacked.
From such view OF the situation 1t is
always sound sanitary science TO close
schools, hotels or prisons and take nc
chances In temporizing with threatening
conditions.
In searching also for common cause
for so much of explosive pneumonia il

enough in its way, but the question will

whether or not it is really worth while

No matter what may be said In support
of the practice, 1t Is we'll known that s

report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-

One day a keeper accident

A Lewiston woman has won her case
against rumseller that sold her hus-
band liquor to his fatal injury, but the
Jury were so family impressed with the
sense of the importance OF the deceased
as husband and citizen that they placed
the amount of damages at $25. The
suit was brought in the sum of $4,000
and the verdict is so low that it is prac-
tically victory for the defendant In the
case. The law, however, has been viz
dictated and the husband in this instance
was as near worthless as he could well
be. 1t appeared In the trial that he had
been arrested for drunkenness on some
sixty different occasions.
Another suit by a wife against rum
seller has been decided, this time in
York county, and the jury awarded the
plaintiff the sum of $500. Two other
dealers against whom she brought suit
settled out of court.

that no saloon can operate within four

that school houses are constructed close

the saloon except In the larger cities.

The biggest printing shop in the world

the mammoth building now nearing
completion on North Capitol street.
The printing bills of Urcle Sam are
enormous. He is a great promoter of
publicity. He drives thousands of
men, day and night to turn out mill
lions of copies of every kind Of printed
document from single leaflet to a
tifty-volume set of 600-page books. He
publishes daily journal during per-
ton of: the year. He loads entire cars
with bulky documents and ships them
thousands Of miles to ultimately glad
den the heart of the ragman. He runs
a bindery and turns out marvels of
leather and satin coverings. He has
an illustrated department and makes
maps and beautiful half-tone pictures
And all of this work has been dono
heretofore in a ramshackle old shop,
SO shaky that every workman has kept
one eye on his case and the other on

An old woman lately residing in Bir.
mingham left over G1 900 to her n;eces
and nephews, the money having been
earned in a peculiar fashion. Toward
her neighbors she acted the part ot
money lender and pawnbroker, poo1
people visiting her from remote quar-.
ters of the town, the privacy of tran
sacting business in a cottage appealing
to their inclinations. Willing was she
to lend small amounts on any articles
likely to be redeemed. Things that q
licensed pawnbroker would not accept
found an abiding place in her carrots.
The old lady was good any day for the
loan OF a shilling in the case of a
strang visitor whose trustworthy char
acter could be vouched for by neigh
bor. In this fashion she cleaned riches
and. strange to say, escaped the atten-
tons of the police, says Tit Bits.
One Of her regular patrons was a fe-
male of Incorporate habits, who, with
the return of Monday morning brought
her false teeth to be cared, for till the

was willingly given, an extra six pence
being required when the grinders were

teeth were of little use to the owner.

Odd Dishes That Are Placed Before
Guests at Fashionable Functions.
Odd food fancies are met at nearly
every house. I know a hostess who
uses rock candy for sweetening in her
afternoon tea and maraschino cherries
Tor taVor, one to each cup. Nobody
else breWs such delicious tea, her
friends declare, and they never seem
to understand why. The rock candy
comes in neat packages of crystal
which are dipped up by an ANTIQUE su-
gar spoon. Another young hostess
made speciality Of cake and beverages
in which she could serve whipped
cream. She was under salary from the
proprletors Of hayoring extracts,
which they were continually booming,
and was supplied with the material.
which she demonstrated in her re-
treshments every afternoon. She was
popular girl and had instituted a tea
hour before she became an ADVERTISING
agent. She was devoted to cooking,
and therein lay her value to her en-
ployers. She began with vanilla. made
cakes favored with it, and put it in
her tea It adds a most FASCINATING
flavor to the favorite feminine beyer-
age. Then she added chocClate to her
tea outfit and used whipped cream.
The next day she changed to lemon
HaVoring, then to almond and orange
and created such a degree of interest
through her afternoons that questions
began to be poured over her. There
was her chance to speak good word
for the makers of the flavors, and she
used it in such a clever way that their
popularity was established without
anybody suspecting her interest in it..
You can readily see how valuable an
assistant she was.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
