GREATEST SIREN OF EARTH.
Costs One Dollar Each Time 1t Blows
and Carries Ten Miles.


East st. Louis now has the biggest
steam whistle in the world. 1t is
remarkable triple machine with three
voices-a three-chime whistler, whose
capacity for the annihilation of peace
is extraordinary. This whistle blows
ten-mile blast at half-stean and
with favorable wind has a disturbing
power of twenty miles. 1t costs dol
lar every time it is blown.
But this great whistle is not all
noise. 1t is an idea in economy, a
whistle trust, a noise combine. AL
most all the little noises, yelps, toots
and whines of smaller mechanical
throats in East St. Louis are now
dumb. The giant whistle trusl whis-
ties for them. The independent whis-
ties have to whistle off time to be
heard.
Within the range Of this whistle
are said to be 100000 people who tell
time by it.
This remarkable whistle has been
installed by the East st. Louis and
Suburban Electric Railway Company,
at the Belt power house. STATE and
Twentieth streets, where the cOmpany's
machine shops and car barns are To-
Gated.
The greatest modern siren CON-
prises three whistles. The largest is
almost six feet in height and nearly
as big around as a man. On each side
of the main one is a smaller wnistle
noise, with which even Babanne miles
away, across the Mississippi river, in
the west end of st. Louis, is well ac-
quainted.
This big triple whistler was also set
up at the railway company's electrical
generating station "as feature" 1t
is connected with an electric clock,
which is regulated by the government
standard time sent out from Washing
ton on the dropping of a ball at ex-
actly noon each day.
The electric clock which connects
with the whistle is guaranteed not to
vary five seconds in time a year, and
the clocks record to date is satiSfac-
tory. Almost every man looks at his
watch when the first blast is sounded
by the big whistle at o'clock in the
morning. Almost every housewife in
East st. Louis glances at her maItel
timepiece when the siren wooes noon
the second blast of the day. The third
blast Is an hour later, and the last
is at in the evening.-St. Louis Post

Tuberculosis.

1t Is estimated that about one-sev-
enth of all deaths in the civilized world
are due to tuberculosis and chiefly to
tuberculosis of the lungs, commonly
known as consumption
From this statement alone one would
suppose that the disease is exceeding
ly fatal, and that a preson once at
tackled had little hope of recovery. But
when we consider that is further
estimated that nine persons out of
every ten who have reached middle life
have at one time or another had tuber-
culous trouble in the lungs or glands,
and have recovered, we must conclude
that it is one Of the least fatal of seri-
Gus maladies.
tuberculosis Is an infectious, not q
contagious, disease, due to the lodg-
ment and multiplication somewhere in
the body of the tubercle- bacillus. AL
most any organ or part may be attack
ed, but the most frequent seats are the
glands or the lungs.
In young children the intestinal
glands are often affected. This causes
gradual wasting awav with diar.
rh9a and distension Of the abdomen
In older children and youths the
glands of the neck may become the seat
of tuberculous infection; this was for.
merly called scrofula. The bones and
joints are not infrequently attacked
especially the hip-joint and the spinal
column. When the spinal column is
attacked the result Is humpback. When
the lungs are the part attacked the
disease constitutes what is called con
sumption.
The young are more frequently at
tackled, the predisposition to the affec
tion becoming less with advancing
years, although even the aged are moi
always immune.
1t was formerly believed that the dis
ease was hereditary, for it was seer
to run in families down through sev
eral generations. Now the belief Is
that it IS not hereditary, but that pos
sibly the children Of the tuberculous in
herit a weakness of constitution which
renders them less able to resist thu
growth of the bacilli. They are alst
more exposed to infection, because they
live in the same house with their tn
berculous elders and inhale the ali
laden with tubercle-bacilh.
Modern medical science has dom
much to reduce the mortality from con
sumption, for it has discovered how t.
treat the disease in many cases mos
successfully; how to prevent it in tn
case of the predisposed. and how t
avoid the spread of the disease fror
one who has it to others in the sam
house or the same community.-Youth'
Companion.

to keep the unity of the Spirit in the
bond of peace"
How much do we almost continually
hear about the church! And yet how
few know what the term means A
more ambiguous word than this, "the
church." is scarce to be found in the
English language. 1t Is sometimes
taken for building, set apart for pub
lie worship; sometimes for a congre-
CATION, or a body of people, united
together in the service Of God.
Can anything be more absurd than
for men to cry out, The church, The
church! And pretend to be very zeal
Gus for it and violent defenders of it,
while they themselves have neither
part nor lot therein nor indeed know
what the church isl And yet the hand
OF God is in this very thing! Imagin-
lining that they are members them
selves, the men of the world frequently
defend the church; otherwise the
wolves that surround the little flock
on every side would In snort time
tear them to pieces. In the meantime
let all those who are real members of
the church see that they walk holy and
unblamable in all things. "Ye are the
light of the worldw Ye are "a city
set upon a hill" and cannot be hid"
oh, "let your light shine before men y
Show them your faith by your works.
Let them see by the whole temper of
your conversation that your hope is all
laid up above! Let all your words and
actions evidence the Spirit whereby
you are animated Above all things,
let your love abound. BY this let all
men know whose disciples ye are, be-
cause you "love one another"

CURE FOR DIVORCE.
By Rev. Frank G. Bruner

There may be true basis for di-
vorce. 1t belongs to disloyal wedlock.
The whole trend of Bible teaching Is
for its prohibition. The loyal purity
of domestic ties will forever uprcOt
such transactions as divorce cases.
Our courts are crowded with thous-
ands of divorce cases. God has built
all things in harmony. 1t Is mixing
of discord into natures wedlock con-
dltion that kills the flowers in the field
of divine harmony. Courtship Is a
great school. Without being good
student of conditions for proper we'd
lock the suitor is sure to bring future
wreckage and ruin to the household.
God through His economy has law of
selection which is harmony that never
makes a mistake, hence human beings
following this law will make no mis-
take and will discover the institution
of wedlock Is divine.
Another cure for divorce Is law to
prohibit the marriage Of unhealthy per-
sons or those in any way having IA
tendency to insanity.
Antipathy against babyhood Is an
other cause Of divorce. People form
matrimonial relations, furnish a house
elegantly, have a large bank account
the husband and wife pet each other
fondle other peoples children, nurse
themselves into dissatisfaction, grow
restless and wonder what Is the mat
ter with themselves, try to be literary
and religious seek to be widely accom-
plished and after awhile begin to pici
at each other. The faults In the esti
nation of each other grow into hug
proportions. Then they grow suspi
cious of each other and begin to thinl
about divorce. Solve the child prob
lem in the case and the wreckage o
home society and character produce,
by divorce is greatly diminished.

SOME PEACHES HERE
BERKELEY COUNTY ORCHARD CO.
MAKE SHIPMENT FROM HERE.
Two.Horse Load Worth Nearly $500
The Only Peaches IN one Section
Of the County.

II fhe peach crop in Berkeley coun-
ty were not almost an entire failure
this year. a shipment Of peaches would
be nothing uusual and, in many cases
scarcely worthy of note. But this year
it IS quite different. even from the
viewpoint Of a newspaper-the rarity
of a thing making it interesting.
The Berkeley County Orchard Co.
Of Martinsburg, made a shipment OF
peaches to Baltimore on Thursday. it
being the second one OF the season.
The Shipment consisted Of about 100
baskets and crates. making a two
horse load. and from which the ON
pany expects to realize between $3.50
and $500.
The company's orchard is in Back
Greek valley, about 10 miles west or
Martinsburg, and comprises $50 acres.
A few peaches remain unpicked in
this orchard and they will be on sale
at the market house Saturday sven-
ing. This will practically wind up the
peach crop of the orchard this season.
The peaches are of the Alberta vari-
ETY..
In conversation with a prominent
stakeholder Of the company this morn
ig, a World reporter was told that the
latest quotations from the Baltimore
market were 1926 on crates and $3.50
for h~alf-bushel baskets.
In this connection It may be added
that the above company has the only
peaches-few as they are-in that sec.
ton Of the county this year, all the
other orchards having been blighted
by the June frost.
