One Man Claims Possession of

London, Jan. ,.20.-In view Of the fact
that "a claim to the possession Of the
storiginal and only authentic portrait
of Shakspere is made by Shakspere
Hirst of Almondbury, Huddersfeld, it
is noteworthy that the value of what
were regarded as genuine pictures Of
the poet has never been accurately as
certained.
Sidney Lee, Of the Art Workers
Guild, and the Society Of Painters, who
is considered an authority on the sub
ject, says that good folio portrait of
Shakspere would probably fetch about
$4,000. The majority Of portraits
which have been discovered are un-
doubtedly spurious. Mr. Gust, Of the
National portrait gallery, has received
many offers of a picture Of Shakspere,
but he has never secured a genuine one.
He says: - :. !
"One turns up every now and then,
and [ have lately had two reported to

Importance. The Chandos portrait in

How will the travellers be able to

London, Jan. 20.-Is Great Britain
face to face with great water famines
Owing to the tremendous Industrial
activity and the needs Of teeming pop
ulation, England may find herself one
of these days face to face with a prob
lem of staggering magnitude, namely,
the scarcity of fresh water,o said Mr..
Bently, president of the Royal Meteo-
rological society, at its annual meeting
the other night.
So enormous now is the drain upon
the country's available supplies, such
have the growth of the cities, the dis
appearance Of forestry areas, the extent
OF street surface impervious to moisture'
and the diversion of the rivers, lakes
and other natural fresh water reser
voirs from their natual function of irri-
gators and distributors Of the all essen
tial moisture to the land interfered in
England with natures arrangement,
that English engineers and meteorolo-
gists at no distant date may find task
of almost insuperable difficulty await
ing their endeavors.
DR.. Mill, a rainfall expert, on being
consulted regarding this alarming state
ment, expressed the opinion that the
question would require early consider
alton He says:
Legislation is needed in the imme-
date future for the regulation Of the
rivers: The great question is how to
store the water which at present goes
to waste on the coasts
"The planting Of trees on the high
water sheds is one of the. first solu-
lions of the problem. The chief diff
Guilty lies in the carcity of suitable
Tlapd available for building large reser-
voirs, and at some future date the
services of engineers will be required
to reform the extent Of the present ar

Dyspepsia and Other Diseases Of
Digestive Organs Laid to
Same Cause.

New York Herald Special Cable Service. Copy.
right, 1905, by the New York Herald.
London, Jan. 2O.-Infuenza has been
SO rampant in this country, especially in
London, Of late, that medical men have
been making great efforts to discover it's
cause and to find the means Of prevent
ing it's spread.
i It is now generally accepted that the
disease is due to a special microbe,
sebacillus influenza which enters by
she mouth and forms poisonous products,
which circulating in the system, give
rise to the symptoms. s..,.
Investigators were still puzzled to
explain why the microbe attacked some
people, and not others, exposed to the
same risks of infection. The theory has
been propounded by a well-known den
fist that bad teeth and the defective
hygiene Of the mouth are the most i'm
portant causes in determining the in.
lection. He contends that in a healthy
mouth the invading microbes do not
find such a good feeding ground as in
a mouth where the teeth are decayed
and covered with tartar and the gums
in an unhealthy condition.
AS Cause Of Dyspepsia.
A well-known West End physician
was strongly in favor Of the proposition.
He said the idea had been gaining
ground in the medical profession that
the defective hygiene Of the mouth is
largely responsible for a great many
diseases. of the intestinal tract, espe-
cially dyspepsia and gastritis, and much
greater attention is paid to the care of
the teeth and mouth than was formerly
| the case.
Personally, before treating any case
of indigestion, &c he said, II advise a
visit to the dentist. AS to influenza, ]
should think it extremely probable that
bad teeth predispose to it, and probably
in both varieties of Influenza in which
intestinal and gastric symptoms pre-
dominate.
Doctors Would starve.
Another dental surgeon, who, by thu
way, also; possesses a medical qualifica
ton, stated that. if people practicet
strict hygiene of the mouth the ma
jority Of physicians would starve TO
lack Of employment.
I There is small body Of men in tn
medical profession, numbering among
them several eminent physicians, VIII
I contend that oral sepsis is the predis
posing cause Of nearly every diseas
affecting the stomach or intestines. On
of their number stated that he frml,
! believed that appendicitis was in man.

giene. The microbes collect around ba
teeth, grow in the tartar covering ther
and hence, being swallowed, set up a
acute Inflammation in the vermifor1
appendix. He added he was by n
means alone in his belief.
Asked whether he believed that ba
teeth could be the cause Of influenza
he stated that it was his opinion an

cause Of influenza, altho the immediat
was undoubtedly that powerful an
elusive little microbe, the bacillus il

ties where means of culture and enjoy
ment are accepted as matters Of course.
They are not willing that their families
should be at a distance from the city-in
other words they demand and will have
the modern urban life. Everything else
being equal. this fact alone Is sufficient
to turn the scale in favor of the city IN
the mind OF the manufacturer who must
have this superior class Of labor.
Plenty of These Sites.
We regard IL as very fortunate that the
city of Birmingham has a good deal Of
area adapted to industries of this kind.
Such locations may be had, not only on
the confines of the city, but at points
comparatively a short distance from the
center along the lines of the trunk rail-
ways and OF the Belt railroad. A site
on the Belt places a plant IN touch with
all the raw material OF the district, with
the railroads and the warehouses and
wholesale establishments.
Correspondence Invited.
As a matter of fact, ideal manufRcf''
ing sites are plentiful within the inoor-
porated limits of the city. and almost
