Another cure for consumption
how often the newspaper reading man
or woman sees that headline in the
daily press, and when the article has
been perused, soliloquizcs and remarks
to his or her neighbOr that the scOurge
seems TO be reapiug its harvest in a
manner more grim than ever despite
the new preventive. Yet the alleged
cure which DR.. Behring, the German
professor of medicine, has submitted
for the public gaze, has held its posi-
tion in the limelight and the method
in which ii is being handled suggests
that, perhaps, after all, this wizard Of
drugs has hit upon system with
which to rout the great white dragon,
which is making such great inroads
into the population of America. Other
cures" have been exploited, ranging
from those in which inoculatiOns OF
certain products, derived from germs,
have been made into the blood, to 9th
ers where medicinal substances have
been similarly used in the hope that
the circulation, carrying them To the
lungs, would thus bring them in direct
contact with the diseased parts What
the medical profession has come to
recognize is that, up to the present all
consumption cures are unsatisfactory
and unreliable. There is not one to
which they can point by way of indi-
eating a substance which, used accord
ing to the methods prescribed by its

is no easy job; Andrew labors pretty
hard after all.
Helen Gould's secretary has a lot Of
work, too; one weeks mail-this, to
be sure, a record breaker-contained re-.
quests for something like $2,000000 A
large part of them were emptied into
the waste basket, it is needless to say.
Countess de Castellane spends money
on great show place and expensive
titled husband; her sister gives away
$5O0,000 a year in charity, large for
tune in itself. The charity organiza.
ton society believes that Miss Gould,
while she does not bestow great sums
like Carnegie and Rockefeller, sup
ports more charities than any other
one person in the world. About 500
benefciares receive aid from her.
Miss Altman, Vassar graduate, is
Miss Geuld's chief almoner, since her
connection with the latter she has acted
as agent in the distribution of about
$4,0OO,00O. Perhaps one in hundred
OF the begging letters are handed over
to Miss Gould, sometimes 200 are re-
ceived in a single day. Whilst dis
posing of the days accumulation the
secretary must feel this is indeed a
world of woe.

Jane. What do you mean and Ma

IN her neighborly heart she felt.

Aunt Jane Hamilton's THANKSGIVING
dinner had been the wonder of Phil
lpsburg for many year, She was a
widow whose husband had paid the
penalty of his devotion to his country
al Gettysburg. Before his marriage
John Hamilton had built a big, roOmy
home for his bride about half a
mile from Philipsburg, and that was
all that was left her when the bullet
ended his life. Here she had lived
sver since, eking out a living from
the poultry she raised, and the small
pension paid her quarterly by the gov
ernment.
Aunt Jane had never been blessed
with children but both herself ami
John had been memDers-of large fam
flies. 1t was 20 all of these brothers
and sisters and to their families, that
Aunt James invitations to Thankssiv-
ing dinner went each year. Annually
they came trooping into Philipsburg
for the family reunion and feast; fill
Ing the big house from cellar to gar
ret. and overilOwing TO the village hos
telry. So it was that these thanks
giving dinners were looked forward
to. not by Aunt Jane alone, but by
the whole village of Philipsburg
As Aunt Jane sat at her dining-roOm
table preparing the % letters tha.
were to stop the coming of the rela-
tiyes, Matilda Crawford was passing
from house to house telling of the
death of the last turkey, and of the
bhghting of Aunt James pleasures.

son for the cancelng of the annual din
ner.
Thanksgiving day was but one week
off when those notes We're mailed, and
on that same evening half a dozen
of the worthy matrons of the village
were talking the situation over at
Matilda Crawford's home.

Railroads Fighting the Freight
Brokers.

1t is probable that the railroads will
make an effort 500 to bring a test
case against freight brokers' who adj
vertise to ship household goods at re-
duced rates. This new line of bust
ness is the result Of the passage OF
the Elkins law, which prohibited re.
bates, and is said to have grown with
alarming rapidity. After the law was
passed, someone conceived the idea
of establishing an office for solicit.
ing freight traffic and induced some
eastern roads to pay him liberal COM
missions for business routed over
their lines. Shippers soon found that
they could do better with the brokers
than with the roads themselves and
the result was that this class OF bus
mess increased so rapidly all over the
country that the railroads became
alarmed. Some move to stop the
business is expected before long.

OF shipping and marine insurance what
the house Of Rothschild Is to the
banking world. Lloyd's dates from
the later part Of the reign Of Queen
Elizabeth, and had its origin In a
small coffee house on Tower street,
kept by Edward Lloyd. He was an
e%nterprising man, and through his
business contact with seafaring men
and merchants enlisted In foreign
trade, foresaw the importance Of i'm.

Of marine insurance. He was the
founder Of the system Of maritime and
comercial intelligence which has been
developed into its present effective.

Lloyd maritime insurance in England
was conducted by the Lombards,

the business Britons conducted marine

The subjects of marine insurance
are the ship, the cargo and the freight,

parties. In time of war there is wha'
is termed the maritime risk-dangei
from accident, collision and stranJing
which Is distinctly separate from
the risk Of capture and seizure by an

ance had its inception in the condi.

porated by act of Parliament. This
act defines the objects to be: ca The
carrying on Of a business of marine
insurance by members of the society:
(2) the protection of the interests of
members Of the society in respect TO
shipping, cargoes and freights; 60
the collection, publication and diffu-

with respect to shipping. The corpor-
alton of Lloyd's and the committee Of
Lloyd's, who are the executive body
of the corporation, and the secretary
OF Lloyd's have practically nothing to
do with marine insurance in the way
of taking risks or paying losses.
Their duty in this respect is to afford
