Brilliant Record of q Newspaper
Man.

The success which has attended
VIM. r. Curtis, the famous cores
pendent of The Chicago Record
Herald, is rarely attained by news
paper writers, Beginning his ca
reer 61 Chicago in 1872 as reporter,
he rapidly rose to the position OF
managing editor. He resigned
that position on receiving a govern
ment appointment as secretary Of
the South American commission.
Mr. Curtis travelled extensively in
Central and SeGth America while in
this position, producing several
popular volumes as the result of
his literary labors. Afterwards
cooperating with Secretary of
State James 6. Blaine, Mr.. Curtis
organized the work of the bureau
OF American republics, with the
result that he was placed in charge
of that equalization, and at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition he
distinguished himself by his labors
as the executive head of the Latin
American department. AS cor
respondent of The Chicago Record
Herald, Mr.. Cnrtis' travels have
carried him into every section of
the United States as we'll as into
all quarters Of the globe. His China
and Japan letters were published
in book form; likewise his letters
from England, Germany and
France, as we'll as those written
during his travels in Mexico and
South America.
No newspaper correspondent pos
sesses the facility shown by Mr..
Curtis in writing on any of the
subjects embraced in his
correspondence and making it
luminous. Nor is any correspon-
dent followed so closely year after
year by the thousands of readers of
The Chicago Record-Hcrald. On
his recent trip to the Holy Land
Mr.. Curtis letters have been read
more closely than ever, and his de-
scriptions of that interesting sec
ton of the globe as it appears to-
day have been quoted everywhere.

PROPOSAL CLUB OF WOMEN
Organization to Send Written
Marriage Offers to Men.

The Leap Year Proposal club" is
being formed by the young women of
Dunhirk, Ind. The object of the club
will be to send written proposals of
marriage to the young men favored by
the club members, says Marion dis
patch to the Chicago Tribune.
The club will be on the order Of a
secret fraternity, and expulsion will
follow the disclosure by member of
any of it's secrets. Meetings will be
held twice a month, and regular dues
will be assessed. The rules will also
provide that all replies to proposals
shall be read at the meetings, whether
they are favorable or LSNayorable.
A young man who accepts one of
these proposals will be doubly reward
ed, receiving not only bride, but a
check drawn on the club treasury with
which to assist him in starting house
keeping. The age limit for members
is from eighteen to fifty years.

SAVED DIMES FOR GUANO.
Woman Farmer Sets Her Breth-
rem an Example.

Mrs. John L. Davis of Lowndes
county is one of the prosperous farm
ers of that section, and has set her
brethren of the pillow a valuable lesson
in the purchase of guano.
She decided a year or so ago that
she would buy her guanO for the next
year out of the dimes that she might
save last year. Accordingly, in TAX
ing change she would keep the dimes
and place them in her guano fund
She went to Valdosta a few days ago
and purchased two tons OF fertilizers
and paid for it with the lO'cent pieces
which she had thus saved. She had
440 of the little silver pieces, which
she counted out to w. T. Lane for S44
worth of guano.

RESOURCEFULNBSS OF JAPS ON A MARCH

March Pein They Made Camp Fires in Ant Hills Device

proved wonderfully efficient. In South
Africa British soldiers had many op-
portunities of testing the virtues OF
good solid deserted ant hill as de-
fensive earthwork, and 1t seems
strange that it should have been re
served for their allies In the far east
to ascertain its capacity for cooking.

moreover, have been overhauled and
are now fitted generally with filter ap-
paratus.
Water was often scarce on the march
to Picking. Now the average Jap is
very clearly soldier, and he likes MS
morning wash every whit as much as
the European fighter. In order to over
come the dearth of water he hit upon
a device which answered well enough.
First. while stripped to the waist he
would lather his face and neck, using
for the purpose a few drips OF the pre-
cious fuid contained in the regimental
pannikin. Then he would invite the
co-operation of a comrade, who was
charged to take the pannikin and pour
the remainder of the water slowly ana
carefully over the soapy neck ana lace.
It was not claimed that this form OF
rinsing was perfect, but it had the
merit of using every drop OF water at
hand. whereas in the ordinary way
much was wasted.
The field engineers Of the japanese
army have learned great deal con-
corning camp sanitation and water sup
nly in recent years, and the plant
with which they now accompany the
troops is probably equal to the RUSSIAN
appliances. In the case OF Korea at

Negro Brother-in-LaW Of an Earl.

A coal black negro of the name of
Daniel Solomon has just died at Cape
Town at the age of 100, where he lived
for the last quarter of century, his
chief title TO distinction being that he
was the full hedged brother-in-law of
an English earl and peer of the realm,
namely, the late Lord Stamford. The
latter, an eccentric old nobleman, for
MANY years active as a missionary in
South Africa and clergyman of the
Church of England, married in 1880
his Hottentot cook, negress of the
name of Martha Solomon, by whom he
left at his death in 1890 mulatto
daughter, born subsequent to the mar
rage, and a son who came into the
world prior thereto.

Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being Civ
en- to the subject. 1t is easier and bet
ter to prevent than to cure. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that pneu-
mona, one of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have contend
with, can be prevented by the use OF
Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu
monia always results from cold or
from an attack of influenza grip, and
it has been observed sthaJ this remedy
counteracts any tendency Of these dis
eases toward pneumonia. This has
been fully proven 10 many thousands
of cases IN which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence OF
colds and grip in recent years, and
can be relied upon with implicit conf
dence. Pneumonia often results from
slight cold when no danger is appre-
hended until it is suddenly discovered
that there is fever and difficulty in
breathing and pains 10 the chest, then
it is pronounced pneumonia. Be on
the safe side and take Chamberlain 5
Cough remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. 1t always cures. For

TO STOP LIQUOR SHlPMENTS
BILL PENDING IN CONGRESS- CAUSES
CONSERVATION TO DlSTlLLERS.
It intended TO Break Up the Shipment o
Whiskey into Prohibition States
and Counties.

The brewing interests in the coun
try are stirred up over the appearance
of bill intended tosbreak up the bust
ness of Shipping liquor into prohibition
counties. Under the present Law
liquor in the original packages shipp-
ed in from neighborlng states must
be delivered by the express cOmpanie.
The Hepburn bill supporters complain
that express companies are really act
ing as liquor agencies. Boxes of b. er
for instance, are shipped to a certaiL
local option town, addressed to John
Doe. OF course that individual is rot
found and following the usual custom
the express company disposes of tht
package to any person who is willing
TO pay the charges. In this way ali
who wishes to get stock of liquor can
do so at wholesale prices, plus eA press
charges.
The Hepburn bill proposes to stop
all of this. This measure provides
that all fermented liquors transported
into any state or territory for delivery
therein shall be subject TO the opera
ton and effect of the laws of such state
or territory in the same manner az
though the liquors had been produced
in that state or territory. The bill
makes all persons and corporations en-
gagged in shipping liquors in this mau-
ner subject to the laws OF the state
wherein the goods are delivered.
This, in effect, will kill all the bust
ness that has been developed under
the 'original package" decision.
There are 20 states where local option
prevails and three prohibition states,
all of which will be strickly dry if
the Hepburn bill Is adopted.

DEATH IN RARE STEAK.
University Professor Claims 1t
Creates Fatal Disease.

At the meeting of the Nebraska
Academy of Science at Lincoln, Neb.,
the other day DR.. H. B. Ward of the
state university warned his associate
savants against the qualification of ap-
petites for rare steaks, says an Omaha
dispatch to the Chicago Record-Herald.
"Have the meat cooked WE'LL" was
the burden of the doctors talk, the rea-
son he gave being that steak ana other
meats rare are the cause of deadly dis
ease.
He said that in Nebraska among
classes of people principally foreigners,
who were accustomed to having meats
cooked rare, he has discovered many
instances of a disease caused by the
improperly cooked meats and that the
disease is fatal.
