IT BoBs Up AGAIN.
Question as to Number of Verb Which
Goes with United States.
House Committee the Last to Run Tn
Against the Puzzling Question,
But Usage Forces the Adop-
ton of Singular Form.

The house committee on the revi-
sion of laws, in the course of some
tinlering with the statutes, ran up
against the time-worn proposition
whether singular OF plural verb
goes with the United States. There
was much discussion among the
members, and the worshipers of the
constitution, quoting from that in
strument, had much the best of the
argument, when it was suggested
that the committee consult any au-
thority on the subject that could be
found.
Accordingly the librarian of con-
gresS, the supreme court officials, and
others were asked to throw light on
the matter. The result showed that
while the constitution and nearly all
the laws, documents and messages in
the early days of the republic used
the plural verb, the tendency had
been steadily toward the singular
form, while for the last Is or 20. years
the latter had obtained almost eX-
clusively.
The question was practically set
tied, however, as far as the commit
tee was concerned, by the discovery
of pamphlet written by former
Secretary of State John w. Foster,
with the title Are or Is?" In this
pamphlet Mr.. Foster traced the
course of the changing use of the
words and quoted from Hamilton,
Webster, Benton, Motley, C. F. Adj
ans, Jefferson, Marcy, Seward, Fish,
Evarts, Blaine, Frelinghuysen, Bay
ard, Gresham and Olney, who used it
in the singular.
In the earlier message President
Jackson used the singular form, and
in later years Lincoln, and since the
civil war particularly, Grant, Cleve-
land, Harrison and Mckinley used it
exclusively.
Mr.. Foster also quoted from the
decisions of the superior court, those
of recent years invariably using the
singular in connection with the
United States.
In no class of documents is greater
attention paid to the language en-
ployed than in drafting treaties, and
up to 1890 the plural form was used.
Since then, however, the singular
form has been adopted, and Mr.. Fos-
ter pointed to the fur seal treaty of
1892, the arbitration treaty of 1897,
and, lastly, the Hay-Pauncefote canal
treaty, as conspicuous examples of
the usage.
After reading the arguments and
authorities of Mr.. Foster the COM
mittee has decided that, legally at
least, the United States .is."

lnpeccable or immune from human frailties

can do wrong. There is no such thing as

Togatiye in the United States. With US

abolition of abuses, among them the
abolition Of the law which gave to Ro-

excitement was created in England. Inc
clergy were told to set their houses in

Only about one-half Of the bunting
sold in this country is used for making

There are 80 flag factories in the

Shake the bottle before ycE pour it

Even if the bottle is marked. il is safer
to measure the dose I'm a properly mark

A medicine glass should be in every

it at a. m, IL noon, p. m. and

do so.

Quinine should be taken before food.

CobQpebg


DO NOT USE THEM ON WOUNDS.
Probably the good old rural practice
of sstanching wound with cobwebS is
not yet obsolete, though physicians Of
ten have pointed out it's absurdity and
danger. Cobwebs are most successful
germ traps and are filled with microbes
brought to them by breeZeS and Insects.
Yet many well meaning people, says
a medical authority, are not satisfied
with using the ordinary garden cobweb
as first aid to the injured" but in
sist that the cobweb must be taken
from stable! Now, the stable cobweb
is capable of injecting one with that
highly interesting disease lockjaw, as
has been proved in several instances.
At recent meeting of veterinarians in
Paris a case was described in which
cobwebs were applied to abrasions on
the fore legs of a horse. In few days
the animal developed symptoms of
''horsepox," the form which smallpox
assumes when it attacks horses and
which they can catch from the Cow
pox" Of cattle. Upon investigation it
was learned that the cobwebs used in
this case had been collected in stable
where there were cows infected with
cowpox. Only clean lint or some SINH
lar material, carefully sterilized, should
ever be used for dressing wounds.
