Liberty may be changed to the one
dreaded alternatively-Death.
With a single exception-the hos
pital army encampment at Fort Bay
ard, New Mexico-there is no other
consumptive camp in the United
States literally under martial law.
Camp Piney Woods arises and retires
with the sun, dimes, plays at games
cards, croquet, golf and even love
making -promenades, smiles. laughs
oftentimes over tragi-comical stories
about itself and behaves generally like
most other sane and normal soldiers
who, by way Of distinctions will never
be called upon to face such a remorse-
less enemy as consumption.
A day spent there is apt to con-
vince one of the innate indomitable
courage which abides in human be-
ings and to stir one to admiration II
not to tears. And why?
Cant's get 'em up Can't get 'em
up
Can't get 'em up in the morning!
Can't get 'em upl Can't get 'em up!
Can't get 'em up at ALL
This version Of the reveille may
have a tragic significance or interDre-
tation as applied to this isolated col
ony. where so many victims Of the
white plague have succumbed, yet
where death is never mentioned. Just
as in a regular army encampment-a
Chickamauga Park or a Philippine
camping ground-it is to the awaken
ing bars of the reveille that the men
and women commanded by Gen. L. H.
Nealy in Sullivan county arise by
day. Just as it is to taps and lights
out that they darken lamp and camp
and sleep by night.
Assisting Gen. Nealy are Doctors
Deady and Wells, their immediate ad-
iutants and a trio of orderlies. Day
and night. one or all of them keep
vigil lest some breach of discipline
may widen with fatal consequences.
Death is quite as eager and more
proximitous there than elsewhere.
Governed and laid out along Sc
verely practical lines, the colony is

campers or loungers. Each person
contributes the same amount. and,
while consumptives at Saranac lake
and other upstate resorts frequently
pay from 500 to $125 a week for
sanitarium luxuries and scientific
shepherding, it is possible to camp
in Piney Woods for $40 a week. All
are absolutely equal, and there are
never any special privileges or par
tialities.
While most Adirondack resorts
boast a cure percentage Of slightly
less than 40 per cent, this camp ef-
fects an average cure of nearly 20
per cent. and has done so during a de.
cade of its existence.

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call ON their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
allke to themselves and their easy-going
and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician. ignorant Of the
cause of suffering, encourages this prac-
tlce until large bills are made. The suf-
terlng patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those DISTRESSING
symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead OF prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said, that "a disease known is half
cured"

Standard Men Are Scared.

Oil trust circles of Southern Cali
toruia have been thrown into con-
fusion by information from the east
that the next blow at the Standard
Oil, the worlds greatest trust, would
be struck at Los Angeles.
He who is to strike this blow has
gained fame as trust investigator,
for he just secured an indictment in
Chicago against the Standard Oil
trust on 6428 counts.
Herbert Knox Smith is the man.
He represents Jas. r Garfield,
head of the bureau of corporations
who represents Attorney General
Moody, who represents President
Roosevelt.
1t is known that detectives of the
interior department have been in the
oil field of Southern California,
working up evidence in connection
with railroad rebate charges.
The probing will be done with the
aid of the local federal officials.
Commissioner Garfield has made
personal Investigations in the Cali
fornia oil fields and he is said to re-
gard the state as a fine place for
trust busting operations.
Southern California produces 3d.
100000 barrels of oil year, and in
handling this product the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe railroads are
charged with giving oil rebates that
will aggregate vast sums.
The investigation is to be made on
the basis of the report made by Com
missioner Garfield after his visit to
the coast, supplemented by subse-
quent Investigations.
On the strength of the indictments
returned in Chicago by two federal
grand juries, the oil trust may, if
convicted, be fined an aggregate of
nearly $l30,O00,000. AS stupendous as
is this sum, the opinion is expressed
that an even greater aggregate of
fines may be the outcome of proceed
ings in California.
1t is expected that the independ-
ents will aid in the fight on the oil
trust.
Besides the Chicago indictments
against the oil trust, indictments
have been returned by grand iuries
at Philadelphia and jamestown, N.
Y. The fight is to be carried from
Los Angeles to st. Louis and other
sections of the country.

The Republican National admins
tration, in its pernicious efforts to
force Arizona into Union with New
Mexico, against practically the unani-

in the history of our government,
and we congratulate the people of
this territory that through the efforts
of our distinguished delegate to con-
gress, Hon. Marcus A. Smith, backed
by the patriotic citizens of the ter
ritory, this calamity was averted.
We rejoice in the splendid success
of the unbeaten AID unbeatable
democrat, Marcus A. Smith, whose
brilliant service in the Congress of
the United States, is the possession
and pride of the whole territory. In
spite of treachery and unheard of
difficulties, Arizona, under his lead
ership, still retains her integrity and
autonomy. We appeal to all citizens
of the territory, irrespective of
party, TO lay aside partisan prejudice
and join with us on the broad plat

tion he has SO signally honored.

Norfolk, Va, August l5.- Ray

All that young Storrs did was to
decide that be didn't want to follow
the briny. A month ago he thought
that a sailors life had the life Of q
prospective millionaire beaten hol-
low and he enlisted. There we're q
few weeks on training ship that did
not altogether shatter his ideals.
Then, with Q number Of other ap-
prentices, not sons Of millionaires,
he was bundled of to Norfolk, pre-
paratory to assignment on q war
ship. When the young men reached
Norfolk, young Wells was "not pres
ent." He had changed his mind
in Philadelphia. They hate to lose
sailors in the navy, SO he was found
quickly. Then he anew he was in
the navy. Saturday night he was
brought to Norfolk and began his
naval eareer prisoner, with all
sorts of dread possibilities staring
him in the face.
Naval officers declined to allow
newspaper men to talk with the pri-
soner. 1t is understood that several
telegrams, said to be from his ia
ther, were received by Wells.
Although his social position gave
him the right to move in Newport g
exclusive set, the gay life Of society
there never troubled young Wells.
He preferred to rcam the world.
He often expressed desire to enter
the navy, but his friends never paid
much attention to his talk.
About six week, igo, he surprised
everybody by enlislIng in New York,
Two weeks AFRO lie was transferred
to the Newport naval station. his
presence was not known until week
later, when he learned that he was

thought it wise to notify his parents,
His father called on him at the train
ing station and permission was secur-
ed for him to come ashore in order
ttat he might see his mother before
his departure.
Apprentice Seaman Wells left a
