Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 2.-The report
that negotiations are in progress be-
tween the Wentz family and parties
supposed to be holding E. L. Wentz
for ransom of 100000 in the Cum

There is believed to be ground for
the report, though it has not been
given sufficient weight by the Wentz
family to cause the search to be aban-

1t is stated on excellent authority
that the search for Edward Wentz, as
it has been conducted up to this time,

Van Wrinkle of the company said the

malady, most excellent results are within
reach. The aim now is not toward destroy
Ing the microbe so much as in making the
patient strong enough to throw OF the
enemy. The mere neutralizing of the poi
son Is not OF so much Importance as the
rendering of the soil of the bodily tissues
unfit for the propagation of the seed. At
best. by killing u bacillus merely there is
no surety against reinfection and no known
immunity against second or third attack
The real safeguard is the protection af-
forded by a strong constitution and by
placing the individual possessing 1t on tha
same plane as one who may have been
born with a natural immunity.
1t will hence be seen that the injection of
an antitoxin would be merely temporary
expedient at best. This Is the most that
can be said for any serum by itself, with
the possible claim of Its modifying the ac-
ton of the poison while the latter Is at
work. Even on such an assumption 1t
would be extremely difficult to obtain fluid
that could meet all the multiplied con-
ditions of progressive blood poisoning Incl
dent to the various toxic invasions that
occur in the mixed infection of the ad-
vanced cases. For these and other reasons
l. is a settled conviction with those having
of tuberculous patients that the sanatorfum
from fits simplicity and ease of application
gives the most rational and practical re-
suits. This being the case, We can the more
contentedly await the demonstration of A
better method and more resignediy face the
constantly recurring disappointments that
follow In the wake of the many unfulflled
promises.

successes and each new investigator is duly
sanguine as to the value of his discovery
Thus while duly lauding the motives Of the
laboratory men, we are forced to accept
their conclusions with judicious suspicion
The latest report of a new serum comes
from Newark N j., and has the merit OF
an Endorsement of the health board of that
city We are assured that Its trial in a
number of cases has passed the expert
mental stage, and that only an appropI1a-
ton from the common council is necessary
to place the new agent within the reach of
all who may have the requisite faith in its
efficacy. We would fain hope that the long
sought cure has been found at last. In
view, however of previous experiences
along similar lines there is enough of legiti-
mate doubt in the outcome to warrant due
caution in making extravagant promises.
Great harm is sure to come to such suffer-
ers as may have their expectations raised
only to have them unrealized at the end
This has been seen over and over again
with every cure" that has been exploited
as an innovation on the accepted methods
of the great majority of medical practi-
TONERS.
1t Is safe TO say that the consensus OF
professional opinion today is not in favor
of the serum treatment Of tuberculosis.
This conclusion is based on much larger
experience than can be obtained in any
laboratory. Unless the revelations in New
ark are such as tend to confound all previ-
Gus researches for an antitoxin serum for
tuberculosis the treatment of the disease Is
still where II has been for the last twenty
years.

we'll as hot shot upon her enemy. She
made her trial trip under Capt. David
Porter, father Of the late Admiral David
d. Porter, and she was destroyed by the
explosion of her magazine at the navy
yard in 1928. In addition to the destruc-
ton of the ship. one officer and forty
Of her crew were killed.
The next vessel constructed there was
the seventy-four gun frigats Ohio modelled
by Henry Eckford a prominent naval
architect and shipbuflder in his day. She
was launched In 1890, and. after long
period of active service. she became the
receiving ship at the Boston navy yard,
where she remained until a few years ago,
and was succeeded by the Wabash.
The Savannah was the next vessel con-
structed at the New York yard and she
was followed by the brig Somers, which
became notorious on account of the hang
ing from her yardarm of Midshipman
Spencer and two of her crew for mutiny.
Other vessels were built there during the
civil war, some being laid down but not
of them being the New York. which was
scrap heap. Then came the battle ship
Maine, which vessel was sunk by a mine
explosion In the harbor Of Havana on
February IA, 1898. which resulted in the
war with Spain. Another vessel built here
was the gunboat Cincinnati, which has

WELL-DRESSED MEN,
More Rational Attention Being Given
to Appearance

From the Atlanta Constitution
Older men of the city note with gratifica-
ton the better dressing and general air of
gentility carried by this generation than
was common with that of twenty years
ago. These sartorial accuracies are not
the signs that betoken fresh epidemic of
dudism. They do not portend an era of
fresh Beau Brummels, Beau Washes and
Berry Walls. They do not mean that an
old adage has been changed to read:
Clothes make a man and want Of them
a fellow"
On the contrary, they indicated that there
Is wholesome revival Of that personal
care for ones appearance that reveals the
man as neither a sloven or sloth. Per-
haps the advent OF clothing made to
measure at custom trade prices and
even more. the facilities of the pressing
clubs have been most responsible for this
commendable pride of apparel But what
ever Is the honorable reason for 1t needs
TO be encouraged and applauded.
The days OF the odd codger" who
thought 1t a signal of independence to go
around in public in an invested and collar
less shirt are passed. To put on any old
thing in any old way and call ones self
dressed" even for ordinary business In
tercourse, is to become person apart from
the crowd called gentlemen and to an
nounce ones self crank. 1t used to
be the other way. The man who dressed
In accordance with the best modes of the
day was called "a dude" and "a dandy"
Those were terms OF common reproach
hurled at any one who dared 10 be neat,
clean and clothed as the most perfect form
God himself could make.
There is physical. hygienic value in good
Dressing. Put a SLOUGH In a soldiers uni
form and he transforms himself with erect
carriage. head erect and quick step that
altogether makes his mother doubt his
identity. And in the really elegant mode
for men of the present day there is dignity
given to ones carriage and distinction i'm
parted to his personality. Certainly a man
may yet make a guy of himself by loud
and outre collaboration. but we are COM
mending the quiet. genteel, fashionable
dresser. and he deserves 1t.

NEW YORK NAVY YARD.
Many Warships Have Been Built
There-Historic Frigates.
From the New York Tribune. NJ

From the New York Tribune ~
Memorial day was a holiday on which
many persons living at considerable dis
lance from New York obtained special per-
mits to visit the navy yard and ships there.
Among them We're a large number of wo-
men school teachers from Putnam county,
who had special attention shown to them
because OF the relationship of one of the
oHlcers to some of them. They saw ships
and sailors in their best apparel; officers
ana mascofS, guns and ammunition-Doth
domestic and relics of the Spanish war,
and they were especially privileged to see
the beginning of the new battle ship Con-
necdcut, whose keel plates and transverse
hames-the real beginning of new war
ship-Were already in place.
School teachers are notably well inform
ed ON matters in general, but these were
not familiar with the fact that the Con-
necticut is not the first ship to be laid
down for construction at the New YORK
navy yard. And yet there are many others
more familiar with naval affairs who are
not better informed than these school
teachers. judging from their inquiries In
fact, it was at this navy yard that the
first steam warship ever constructed by
any nation was built and launched. She
was the old frigate Fulton, thirty-gun
vessel of about 2.900 tons, built In lsl5
after plans drawn by Robert Fulton. But
her armament was not limited To guns,

as the entrance to the navy yard until
the Sands street gate was finished a few
years ago. The timbers with which the
York street gate was constructed were at
first used in building the mansion which
stands on the elevation at the west side
Of the navy yard and which has been the
home of every commandment since the time
Of Capt Isaac Chauncey. in 1906 At the
time of the partial destruction OF tins
building in 1911 some of the scored ID live
oak timbers were removed, and, after lying
around the yard for dozen years, were
utilized for building the big fence which
ran round the government property near
the foot of Sands street. When the fence
was removed many of the old timbers were
used in the construction of the gate at
