Seeking Cause of Poverty

The idea of goins after the causes of
poverty, instead of dealing with effects.
was championed by Gov. Hughes in a no
table speech at the recent silver jubilee
of the New York Charities Organization
Society. He said, in part: This society
is the true agent of democracy, seeking
not merely to apply balm to the bruises
of life, but to eliminate the causes of
unnecessary injury. We cannot but re-
alize that a large portion OF our brethren
are the helpless victims of an environment
from which they cannot escape, and
through which they are destined to ply
steal misery, moral impoverishment and
economic inefficiency. 1t is our duty pa
tiently to consider what can be done, not
merely to afford temporary relief to im-
mediate sufferers, but to change the IN
proper environment and promote health
lei life He went on to enumerate the
conditions desirable, and said that the
number of preventable casualties to work
men is a disgrace to the country.

stroyers, repair and supply ships. The
progress of the fleet will be watched
with interest by the whole world, and
will be accompanied by the prayer that
no occasion may arise for a display of
that awful power of destruction which
lies within its guns.
The significance of the transfer of
the battleships stamps the event as an
epoch in the history Of the United
States. It transfeds the theater of ac-
ton of the navy from the Atlantic to
the Pacific Ocean for the first time since
the United States became a nation. 1t
reduces the naval representation of the
country in the Atlantic from second
place to the lowest place among the
naval powers of the world, but it raises
it's representation in the Pacific ocean
to the highest place, where the United
States is now poor second. Whether
"for fun or for frolic,' as Rear Adj
miral Robley Evans has expressed it,
the battleships upon arrival in the Pa
cifc will do the United States full
honor.

Two young women of St. Louis recent

necessary to place the lips near the trans
mitter of a telephone to be heard at the
other end of the wire, provided the trans
mitter were placed firmly against the
chest or even other parts of the body.
The advantages claimed for the new sys-
TEN are that it is germ-proof and non
fatiguing. Prof. Calvin NJ. Woodward,
one of the scientists at Washington uni
versity, explained that there was nothing
new in the principle, but admitted he had
never before thought of its application to
the telephone. He said the sound vibra-
ton in the lungs is communicated through
the chest instead of through the lips, and
then carried over the wire in the usual
way. The system, he said, is in accord
ance with the principle of the physicians

MANY FAMILIES IN WANT.
Coal Mine Disaster Makes Women
and Children Destitute

1t is now evident that it is going to
require a long time to complete the
work of recovering all the bodies Of
those killed in the Monongah, w. Va,
coal mine explosion. That the company
recognizes this is evidenced by the fact
that buildings have been erected and
equipped for cooking and serving warm
meals to the rescuers. Heretofore they
have subsisted on coffee and cold
lunches.
Distress and want among women and
children dependent on the men who lost
their lives, which was not recognized at
first, is now being brought forcibly be-
fore the community. and it is realized
that there is a great work of charity to
he done. 1t is estimated that there are
between $50 and 400 families now in
want. Some of these will later receive
Insurance, but many have nothing to
lcok forward to. Headed by the

Bell iirShiD Launched.

The successful launching of DR.. Alex
ander Graham Bells recently completed
airship took place a few days ago at
Baddeck. Nova Scotia. The ship is built
up of $3.50 unit tetahedronS, which are
so disposed as to make the ship itself one
great tetahedron, which has for It's base
the top of the machine, Is meters in
length. The several units are covered on
two of their sides with silk. The total
surface thus exposed is over 1000 square
feet The motor used is of the Curtis
tyne. four cylinders. 20 horsepower. It
weighs 120 pounds, which brings the total
weight of the ship up to $50 pounds.
Owing to a snowstorm in progress at the
time of launching, no attempt was made
to fly the machine. While DR.. Bell has
great faith in the success of his invention,
he does not assume to have entirely solved
the problem of aerial fight.

Why Sloan's Liniment and Vet.
Urinary Remedies Are the Best
IN

Let me tell you why Sloan's Lini-
ment and Veterinary Remedies are the
safest and most practical on the mar
ket to-day. In the first place, DR.. Earl
S. Sloan is the son of a veterinary sur
geon, and from his earliest infancy he
was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while yet
very young. He practiced as a veteri-
nary for twenty years, and has battled
successfully with every disease to
which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result of ex-
periments made to save life or relieve
suffering while he was practicing his
profession.

s. Sloan, 615 Albany street, Boston,
