BREAD FAMINE.

For three days last week, the peo-
pie of New Rochester Chose who buy
their bread) were without the staff of
life, and it seemed strange fact when
it is remembered that New Rochester
is located in one of the richest por-
tions of Wood county.
1t happened this way: The mail
was carried by a star route carrier
named Welch, whose route from Penn
berville included New Rochester and
Scotch Ridge for S225, per year, says
the Tribune. 1t is necessary for him
to travel in his rig twenty miles a day
in order to carry out his contract
Monday when the government cut oil
Scotch Ridge and reduced his salary
to ten dollors month he concluded
to quit. On his return trips from
Pemberville to New Rochester every
day he brought forty or fifty loaves OF
bread and when he quit serving mail,
the patrons had no bread, hence the
bread famine in land of wheat and
corn,

rormalin In Blood Poisoning.

DR.. Barrows' successful use of forma.
lin in dangerous case of blood poison
ing marks definite advance in the sci
ence of medicine and naturally attracts
widespread interest and comment. In
his report of the case to the New York
Academy of Medicine DR.. Barrows tells
of the treatment of the negro woman
whom he found in Bellevue hospital dy-
ing of blood poison following childbirth.
The first injection of 800 cubic centime-
tiers of Il solution of formalin in the pro-
portion of 1 to 5000 caused drop in
temperature, and the second injection
of Il solution of the same strength, using
750 cubic centimeters, placed the wom-
an on the road to recovery. DR.. Bar
rows said that culture of the patients
blood made before the injection showed
the presence of streptlcocci, the bacteria
which, he holds, are the cause of sepsis,
and when the woman had practically
cocc. From this case he therefore drew
the conclusion that the formalin had de-
stroyed the strepticocci and that it could
do no harm.
1t cannot be expected, however, that
the results anticipated will always at
tend the use of the formalin treatment.
All sorts of complications are liable to
occur coincidently with sepsis, and even
the destruction of the streptococci in the
blood might not restore the conditions
permitting recovery.
The formalin treatment was used in
the case of Editor Gonzales, who was
shot by Lieutenant Governor Tillman
of South Carolina, and that it did not
save his life is not to be wondered at
The liver was torn by the bullet, and
the septic poisoning resulting was
quickly beyond surgery. 1t is quite
probable that neither President Garfield
nor President Mckinley would have de-
rived any benefit from formalin injec-
tions, and theirs were typical cases of
blood poisoning caused by gunshot
WOILuS.
Very different, however, is the puer-
peral sepsls which sends so many
young mothers to the grave prema-
turely and which has ever been the
dread Of the obstetrician. If the for
malin treatment accomplishes nothing
more than to minimize the mortality
in such cases, it will be an inestimable
boon to humanity.
AS the New York Times remarks, it
is the misfortune of discoveries of this
kind that they are put to impossible
tests by unauthorized and empirical
eXperimenters and that success is ques-
toned while failure is heralded. 1t
would seem as if the great medical
organizations could handle such mat
ters better than they are now handled.

Marconi's Latest Triumph.

The degree of perfection to which
Signor Marconi has brought his sys-
tenn of wireless telegraphy was illus
trated the other day in the sending
by President Roosevelt of a message
of siXty-four words across the Atlantic
to King Edward Of England.
The wireless message was sent be-
tween Wellfeet, on Cape Cod, and
Poldhu, on the Cornish coast of Eng
land. In accomplishing this feat Mar
conf has surprised himself as well as
the rest of the world, as it has been
the general impression that his trans
premiership to serve before so elabo-
rate messages could be vibrated
through 5000 miles of quivering ether.
One can scarcely realize the signifi-
canoe of this announcement, about the
truth of which there can be no doubt.
Before the full conSumma ton of this
feat the mind of man passed in strides
over space-in strides only, since ca
bles must painfully be laid beneath
the sea and poles and wires slowly
erected over mountains and jungles
before the message could be transmit
ted. Now the message asks for no
touch with earth; it flies at mans will.
1t is not over seas alone that wire
less messages are to be sent. Already
the Cape to Cairo railway people are
preparing to jump the African jungles
by the wireless methods. Messages
from our new bonanza fields of Alaska
will leap the icy deserts of the arctic
by the same means.
Truly, the world seems to be on the
threshold of prodigious scientific tri-
umph, which promises to revolution
ize the transmission of intelligence
throughout the earth.

Spread of State Socialism.

Two significant utterances touching
ing from men in high station are calcu-
lated to set conservative people to
thinking about the tendencies of the
times.
One of these was the outgiving of
Judge Grosscup of the United States
district court of Illinois and a jurist of
recognized eminence in an address be-
fore the Hamilton club of Chicago, in
which he said:
Either the process of consolidation now
in full course will, under beneficial re-
straint and supervision of law, eventuate
in a proprietorship of our industries wide
ly spread among the people at large, re-
storing in this way the foundations on
which the republic was builded. or at
some time in the not distant future we
will be called upon to reckon with those
schemes of state paternalism which, be-
ginning in restricted public ownership,
will end in universal state socialism.
Judge Grosscup further declared that
| another winters experience like the
present will produce public sentiment
in favor Of governmental ownership of
coal mines that will prove irresistible.
But few days ago Chairman Jen-
kins of the judiciary committee of the
| house of representatives introduced a
| resolution asking for authority to in
quire as to the power Of congress to
and coal carrying roads under the SOW
ereign right of eminent domain, with
the view of their being conducted by
the government for the benefit of the
people.
| 1t must be remembered that these ex-
pressions do not come from theorists
and dreamers, but from United States
| Judge and the head of one of the most
important committees in congress. They
give voice to a sentiment more preva-
lent than is generally believed. Wheth-
er it bodies good or Ill to the republic, no
sober minded observer doubts that
there is now decided popular trend
toward government ownership of pub
lie utilities, which in plain terms Is
state socialism. The fuel famine has
set the tide running strongly in favor Of
government ownership of the coalfields
and the facilities for coal transporta-
ton, possibly upon the theory that con-
ditions could not be more intolerable
under such ownership than they now
are. At any rate, If it had been the
purpose of the coal combination to
promulgate the doctrine of state social
ism it ought to be extremely gratified

Though rather late in coming, there
is to be a Henry Ward Beecher me-
mortal, a prominent Brooklyn man
having pledged $4,000 for that pur-
pose, to which other generous sub
scriptions are being added. 1t is to be
in the nature of a Bee.cher museum.
The idea is a simple white marble
house near Plymouth church, 30 by 80
feet, an option having already been OBJ
tanned ON the ground. One purpose is
to remove the body of Beecher to the
spot, on the theory that his dust should
be there. The successor of Beecher,
DR.. Hills, wants to have the reburial
of Beecher to occur and erect above
the tomb a memorial room, with his
portraits, his manuscripts, his old pull
pit and chairs, his writing desk, the
manuscript of Mrs. Stoves "Uncle
Toms Cabin" Lyman Beecher's old
pulpit from which he preached the SER
mon on "Dueling" after the death of
Hamilton and the five sermons on "In-
temperance" with everything related
to the career of Henry Ward Beecher
in Brooklyn.

Hazing at the Naval Academx.

dU JuS NuVal fACHuenys
The public has been led to believe
that hazing at our military academies
was brought to close by the West
Point investigations a few years ago.
That this belief was not well founded
is shown by the reports of the break
ing of a naval cadets jaw in hazing
fight at Annapolis the other day.
From the printed accounts it appears
that the third class men at the Naval
academy have habit of running"
certain cadets of the fourth class, the
latest entries. A youngster will incur
the dislikS of an upper class man, and
the latter proceeds to organize a senh-
ment against his junior. Sometimes
the entire class takes up the case and
makes the life of the fourth class man
miserable with taunts and gibes and
open insults. At last he is forced to
fight out of self respect, and man Of
approximate size is selected from the
third class, and these two engage in a
duel with fists. There is no personal
quarrel between them. In the case in
hand the participants in the fight had
no personal enmity. Cadet Pearson,
fourth class, was the object Of third
class dislike, and Cadet Blasdell was
picked as proper opponent and was
forced under class rules to fight wheth-
er or no.
This is more tyrannical and despi-
cable system of hazing than the old
fashioned rough and tumble process
through which cadets were often COM
PEELED to go in their course through the
first year. 1t is species of cowardice
and cruelty wholly unbecoming to the
young men whom the United States
educates to defend the honor of the
country and should be stopped at once.
Doubtless Secretary Moody will take
vigorous steps to eradicate this con-
temptible form of hazing from the
academy.

PROFIT

The matter of feed is of
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children !?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
Scott's Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.
