HONEST PHYSICIAN

It Is a mistake to assume that physi-
clans are always skeptical as to the
curative properties Of anything else,
than drugs.
Indeed, the best doctors are those
who seek to heal with as little use Of
drugs as possible and by the use Of
correct food and drink. A physician

HUNTING CRIMINALS.
FINGER PRINTS HAVE GREATLY
AIDED DETECTIVE WORK.
System Long in Use in the Orient

5"lts Made by It's Instru-
mentality.

Brooklyn.-s'Pudd'n' head" Wilson,
wonderful detective work based on
thumb prints was only creation. OF
Mark Twain's pen, and many people
who have read the book or watched
Frank Mayo play the part on the stage
have looked on the idea as being far
fetched or impossible. Yet the police
are doing the same thing every day in
the present workaday world.
Some of the greatest crimes have been
ferretted out with the assistance of fin
ger prints. So absolutely sure is this
method of detection that it has become
q part of the police routine in France
and England.
It will no doubt be surprise to most
readers that the finger print system has
been in use in oriental countries for CEN
turtles. For hundreds of years the willy
Chinaman has insisted that the lines
of persons hand shall be impressed
upon his passport or other Important
document to make a transfer of the doc
ument an imposibility. For time i'm
memorial the custom in Japan was to
have all state papers bear the red hued
impress of the mikado's thumb. This
made it impossible for ambitious poll
ticians and reasonable statesmen to
issue edicts and DEGREES in the name
of their imperial master.
Forgery is impossible in the lands
where finger prints are used as sigma
lures. The Hindoos found this out be-
fore America was discovered, and they
put the finger print system into use,
making a man put the impress of his
thumb on every deed, document or paper
of any Importance. When the English
conquered their country the Hindoos
still insisted upon having the indisputa-
BILE and unchanging attestation Of their
finger prints affixed to all papers of i'm
p0rtance.
1t was not until 80 years ago that the
English people saw the true value Of
finger prints. Forty years ago Sir Will

about Is minutes, patiently drawing
the antiQuated old car and it's passen-

Jimmy O'Brien, Of Scotch Irish Can

to the best interests of the line is con-
cerned-he might as we'll carry the
title of superintendent or general man
ager, for if he owned the line he could
be no more faithful than he has shown
himself for three years while working
for Mrs. Bogue. Summer and winter,
he is always on duty, and never misses

Farm.)
property is worth for farming our
| poses.
Since the birth of Lincoln, on Feb
IL, 1909, the farm had changed hands
only twice. Thomas Lincoln, the
father of the president, sold the land
to Richard Creel about the time the
Lincoln family moved to Indiana. The
property continued in the hands OF
this family until something like Ii
years ago, when A. w. Dennette, OF
New York, bought the place for &c.
500. 49,
During the last decade OF so many
attempts have been made to perfect
plans looking to the converting Of thu
property into q national park, and,
while these efforts have aroused some
comment, nothing substantial has re-
suited.
The farm derives it's name from a
large spring about 100 yards from the
log cabin in which Lincoln was born.
In it's present state the tract is cut
by a broad picturesque thoroughfare.
Two miles to the north is this village,
typical of Kentucky, with a population
of about 1.00O A branch Of the ILL.,
nois Central connects the town with
the outside world, and a combination
freight and passenger train makes
two trips daily to Cecilia, II miles
away.
The records of Hardin county show
that the farm was bought by Thomas
Lincoln in 1903 with funds which he
had earned as a carpenter. Thomas
Lincoln was not yet Is, showing that
he was man possessed of more than
ordinary thrift, instead of careless
and shiftless, as some biographers
have depicted him. -.s.-. .-~

lads led the opposite sides in debate,
as they often did. Mckinley, when he
finished his course, went to law col
lege, while Calhoun became a student
in law Office in Tuscola, Ill. In due
time he was made prosecuting attor-
ney in his county and the next step
was his election to the Illinois legis-
lature. 1t was as a representative in
that body that he delivered before the
Thirty-sixth assembly Of that state the
constitutional argument which, for all
time, settled the legal right of gov
ernor in Office to be candidate for
senator. Gov. Cullom, now senator,
aspired to wear the toga, and the mat
ter was in dispute. Calhoun's mastery
argument disposed of the question and
Mr.. Cullom was elected to the Office
which he still holds.
Calhoun determined to become cor
pOrati0n lawyer. He moved to Chicago
and became general counsel for the
East Illinois & West Indiana railroad.
After his return to the United States
from Cuba he occupied a seat as a
member of the United States railroad
commission. This post he resigned to
become a member of the law firm of
PAM Calhoun & Lennon, counsel for
the Great American Steel & Wire COM
pany, headed by John w. Gates. In
1900 Calhoun was nominated as repub-
lican candidate for governor of Illinois,
to reunite the party, which had split
over the socialistic tendencies Of John
B. Altgeld. Calhoun preferred to throw
his influence for Richard Yates, who
was elected. Later he accepted the
Office Of legal representative for the
Vanderbilt lines west of Buffalo. He
Aow leads the bar in the northwest.
Calhoun describes his political ego
rs a 'stanch republican and protec-
zionist with an academic leaning to-
ward free trade"

liam Herschel was struck with the ut1l-
fly of the ancient Hindoo custom and
Sir William tried to have law COMPEL
ing all persons concerned in the sale or
purchase of land afix their thumb prints
to the deeds of transfers and other legal
documents.
Charles Darwin's cousin, Prof. Fran
els Cation, was the first to announce to
the English world the value of finger
print evidence in detective work. He
was at one time president Of the an.
thropological section of the British as
ISOLATION, and had studied the question
for years.
"The chances of two persons finger
prints being alike are one in GA 900, 0O0,-
000," declared Prof. Gallon. After Prof
Gallon produced his evidence the Eng
lish home Office revised it's method of
identifying criminals.
Here is something simpler and more
certain than the Bertillon anthropome-
trio methods. A new department was
opened at the registry Of habitual GRIM
inals at Scotland Yard. The finger
prints of all prisoners convicted for GER
tain classes of crime were to be taken
before they quilted the respective goals
and sent to Scotland Yard, where they
would be examined, classified, indexed
and filed.
Last year 5000 identifications were
made by its fundamentally. The fig
ures this year probably will be more
than double. I'm no single instance"
said Inspector Collins, in giving EVIL
dence the other day, was the result
challenged. The finger print system has
robbed the alias of its utility; the man
of many names and many crimes can no
longer successfully plead hunger, des-
peration and first offense. His finger
prints betray him."
Many dangerous criminals have been
traced and brought to justice by the
voiceless witness of their finger prints.
M. Alphonse Bertillon, the French an
thropometrical expert. has become a
convert to the 1inger-p print system. Ber-
tillon says he got the foundation of his
finger-print knowledge from the Eng
fish. An interviewer asked him recently
II he thought the science of measure
ments would ever supplant the science
Of finger prints.
NO." he answered. II think the hu-
man measurement system will supple
ment and assist the finger print system
in the ultimate marking down and tab
ulating Of practically every known or
potential criminal in the civilized world.
The sister sciences will 60 hand in hand.
The science that is based upon the fact
that each different individual has among
his bones certain characteristic shapes
and dimensions will march forward in
unison with the science which arises
from the circumstance that the finger
prints of practically everybody are diff:
lerent from the finger prints of anybody
else. Both these truths AID the appli-
cation Of them in everyday criminal
search and detection have been of enor-
nous SER vice to us in France, and have
helped to rid respectable society of many

FAR-REACHING RESULT OF WAR.
Unfayorably Affects the Labor Market
in California.

Fresno, Cal, Sept 21.-The war,
between Russia and Japan has had an
unforeseen effect upon the raisin in
dustry of California and the owner of
vineyards in this part of the state
have great difficulty to overcome the
complications arising from the lack
of japanese pickers. Japanese are
almost exclusively used for picking
and sorting the grapes used in maxi
ing rasins.
In former years there was always
an abundance of Japanese for that
work, but when the war broke out so
many of the men returned to Japan
to serve in the army against the Rus
SLAMS, that japanese help of every kind
became extremely scarce on the coast.
Now that the picking season is on, the
growers experience great difficulty in
securing the required help for bring
ing in the harvest. The Southern Pa
cific and Santa Fe railroads have been
appealed to. to allow reductions in the
fare of laborers on the coast who are
willing to come here to work in the
vineyards. The result, so FAR, has not
been satisfactory.

PIG IRON BECOMING SCARCE.
Caused by Extraordinary Demand for
Steel Rails

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 21.-An order
for pig iron sent out by one of the
large finishing mills in this city was
returned the other day with the re-
mark that owing to the great demand
for rails and structural work the mill
which had formerly turned out pig
metal and steel billets Is now making
rails.
An investigation shows that many
of the big mills at Clarion and Du-
quesne, which formerly made billets
are now turning out rails. The man.
ayers of the local finishing works are
becoming alarmed over the scarcity
of pig iron and rough steel and fear
that it will seriously interfere with
their ability to turn OUT their orders.
IL is stated on good authority that not
enough pig iron and steel billets will
be turned out each week for some
time to come to supply the demand.
An investigation has been ordered.
and in a few days the local mills will
probably decide upon some plan to
remedy the trouble. The demand for
rails and structural iron is unprece-
dented and the mills are working
night and day.
