their natural lifetime in the wild state
is from twenty-five to thirty years at
least. Their bread and milk diet is
held to be conducive to tuberculosis.
These facts are to be used as the basis
of exhaustive experimental work in the
$10,000,000 hospital that is being built
here by John d. Rockefeller, as a menu
orial to his grandson little John
Rockefeller Mccormick, son Of Harold
Mccormick of Chicago. The child
died of summer complaint" and one
province of the hospital, the construc-
ton of which has just been begun, will
be to investigate in the hope of finding
a specific for this disease which is the
most common cause of infant mortal
ity. Special attention will be paid to
milk and water supplies, as it is con-
sidered that the prime source OF
summer complaint is in milk and
water.
Mr. Rockefeller already has set aside
$1,250,000 for the Rockefeller Institute
for Medical Research, which will be the
largest institution of it's kind in the
world, and it is understood he is plan
ming ultimately to devote eight or ten
times that amount to this great enter

Do prudent citizens who wish to see
their country shielded from foreign
entanglements deem it safe to intrust

make PREPARATION for public wrongs but
pay promptly to foreign creditors all
debts arising out of contracts, they
may look for coercive intervention on
the part of the United States. The
democratic boss of New York asks
these questions. It's a curious illus
tration of the inability of a politician
con the other SIDE" to feel the public
pulse Not admitting the erroneous
statements in the quotation above, the
fact does remain, that the people, even
prudent citizens" are very much in
clined to intrust the war waging pow
err" to man who did dispatch war
ship" to Beirut, Morocco, and thus
brought liberty to an imprisoned Am
erican citizen, and also dispatched a
warship to Smyrna" and thus brought
about a settlement of American claims
an act of long delayed justice.

lost. Sometime ago the writer had a
little chat with young preacher on

the time wasted in reading any daily
paper, full as it is of the accounts Of
crime murder, rape. thfevlng, war;
mob law. divorce suits and the princi-
pal causes thereof Much better would
the time be used in reading the Bible
