INSTITUTE FOR CONSERVATIVES
Examination and Instructions as to
Care of tuberculosis

The committee on the prevention of con-
sumption which is conducting an institu-
ton at 926 f street northwest desires to
reach every consumptive in the city not
under treatment by a physician. 1t also
desires to make thorough physical and bac-
THEOLOGICAL examination in all cases where
consumption is expected but has not been
proved to exist.
The dispenSlry does not seek to interfere
with the private practice of physicians and
does not accept cases under treatment else
where. 1t does not desire to duplicate work
being done in other institutions. 1t is stat
ed, however. that there are nearly 500
deaths in this city annually from tubercu-
losis, and probably three times as many
sufferers frcm the disease as die each year
The committee in charge states that the
dispensary seeks to impress it's work upon
people not sufferers from this disease who
might be Instrumental through various
means, in discovering one or more con-
sumptives who should receive examination
and treatment. consumptive who takes

but consumptive who has not learned the
fundamental lessons of self-care and care
for others is Il source of danger to all with
whom he comes in contact.

WILL APPEAL TO CONGRESS.
Brooklyn Interests Want Part of the
Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Rear Admiral John Rodgers, retired,
president of the special board, which is
studying the needs of the New York navy
yard, called at the Navy Department yester-
day TO discuss one important phase of the
forthcoming report with the authorities.
1t appears that large corporate interests in
Brooklyn are making a strong effort to Sc
cure part of the navy yard grounds back
of the Cob dock and on Wallabout channel.
When commandant of the yard several
years ago, Admiral Rodgers opposed that
proposition and Admiral Coghlan, his sue
cessor In command there. has taken sim
liar position toward this latest attempt
Now the special board has taken up the
matter and Admiral Rodgers states that to
yield TO that request and dispose of any
more of the navy yard ground would mean
the ruin of the yard and would in fact
force the government to abandon the Site
because 1t would be impossible to develop
the yard to meet the needs of the future
Notice has been given by the applicants
for these lands that they will bring the
matter before Congress at the next session

SENATOR'S DIGNITY HURT.
Consequently the State Department
Has a New Reception Room.

Secretary Root of the State Department
has had the east end of the south corri-
dor on the second floor of the State War
and Navy building, converted into re-
ception room for the use of persons visit
Ing the secretaries of state other than
members of the diplomatic sorps The
room has been partitioned off from the
corridor 1t is neatly furnished in quar-
ter-sawed oak, and is carpeted with large
green rug. 1t presents coy and attrac-
tive appearance.
There is a richly furnished and hand
somely decorated room a. the other end
of the same corridor that for years has
been used as a reception room for members
of the diplomatic corps, but up to the pres
ent time there has been no special pro-
vision made for other visitors to the de-
partment Consequently. some of the unof-
fetal visitors were frequently compelled to
remain STANDING In the corridor until the
secretaries were ready to receive them.
1t is related that a prominent western
senator recently visited the State Depart
ment to see Mr.. Root on some very i'm
portant business. The diplomatic room was
occupied by the minister from South
American republic, who had come down to
tell Mr.. Root that all the rumors about
new revolution in his blessed country were
false and that as a matter of fact the
country, under the just and peaceful guild
ance OF its present ruler, had not known
what a revolution was. The senator was
requested to wait In the hall and he start
ed to take a constitutional walk on the
State Department marble checkerboard
1t so happened that several delegates to
the womens international civic right
congress. meeting In Washington, honored
the State Department with a visit, and
having lost their way In the endless halls
of the building asked the first person they
met where the uniforms of George Wash
ington were kept. Unfortunately that per-
son happened to be the senator from the
west. His dignity was hurt and he did not
"a N n nj wi ba
thorities, and as a result the State Depart
ment now has new waiting room.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the
safest and most efficient dsinfectant and purifier
in nature. but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same cleansing

Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take OF

absorbs the gases aud impurities always present
In the stomach and intestiBes and carries them
out of the system
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking,
drinking after eating onions and other odorous
vegetables.
Charcoal effeceually clears and improves the
complexion 1t whitens the teeth and further acts
as a natural and eminently safe cathartlc
1t absorbs the injurious gases which collect in
the stomach and bowels; 1T disinfects the mouth
and throat from the poison Of eatarrh.

The Mayors Wild Ride.

Now comes the most remarkable
event of the evening, and one which
some incredulous people will deny. At
ter the parade Mayor D. P. Jones Elk
pressed the desire to make a trip in
an auto to his summer home at Breezy
Point. Warren Walker and J. S. Spar
go volunteered to take him in forty
horsepower locomobile.
Starting out at a mild pace they
struck the open country and the throt-
tie was thrown open. As they were go
ing west they gained time over the
slow-moving sun and actually beat old
Father Time, arriving several seconds
before they started. The first mile was
done in nothing fiat. The other miles
were done in less than nothing, the last
mile being accomplished in minus five
seconds. A stop was also made at one
time to light a lamp. It is claimed
that the run broke all records.
