COUNT BONTS FATHER DTSCOURSES
ON THE RIDICULOUS SAGAN BATTLE

Paris, France. - The De Sagan-
Castellane quarrel continues to excite
all aristocratic Paris. Clubmen crit
icise Prince Helie de Sagan because
he has made French titled aristocracy
ridiculous in the eyes of the public
by appealing to an humble police
court for satisfaction instead of in
stantly challenging Count Boni de
Castellane, divorced husband of Anna
Gould, to duel and the plain people
are chuckltng over the decadence of
an aristocracy which prefers settling
domestic scandals In police court in
stead of with swords and pistols on
the dueling field.
/ The Marquis de Castellane, father
of Count Bopi, freely discussed the
quarrel, saying:
You ask me to give the exact re-
port of the violent encounter which
took place between my son and the
Prince de Sagan. This l do with all
the greater pleasure, as it gives me
the opportunity to rectify the false
accounts which got into some of the
newspapers.

Washington-The national board of

being the American merchant marine,
ship subsidy, duties OF the interstate

ments, car shortage, uniform bills of

tion of second class mail matter, par
cells post, improvement of rivers and
harbors and international arbitration
The board was called to order by
its president, Frank d. Lalane, a re-
tired manufacturer of Philadelphia

Many men prominent in the business
world will take part in the proceed
ings. The official program includes
recommendations and resolutions from

The days session was devoted to
the appointment Of committees and
other preliminary work. President
Lalane In his annual report urged the
necessity of some form Of ship sub
sidy which will retain the more than
5000, 100000 which Is paid annually to
foreigners to carry our commerce.

should be attempted until the congress

WARNS PUBLIC AGAINST GRIP AND PNEUMoN
Or. Samuel Tracy Tells Should
Observed o Prevent These Diseases.

New York City.-The recent report
of the Health Board shows that dur
ing the one month there were 1909
deaths from pneumonia, many of
them beginning with influenza. In
addition to this there have been 1876
deaths from influenza without pneu-
monia.
It seems a. fitting time to say a
word about the preventive treatment
of these fatal diseases. Here are
three suggestive rules laid down by
DIR. Samuel G. Tracy;
1. Keep mouth, teeth, tonsils and
nose clean.
q, Keep vital resistance of the
body up to the standard.
3. Breathe plenty of fresh air,
both in the house and out of 1t, but
protect the body from cold and
draughts by proper clothing.
1t is necessary to keep the mouth,
nose, tonsils, etc., clean, because the
mucous membrane of these parts, es-
pecially the tonsils, Is not infrequent-
ly the port of entry of the germs Of
several infectious diseases, as influ-
enza. pneumonia and acute rheuma-
tism. The little depressions in the
tonsils are favorite place for these
germs to lodge; when the tonsils are
infiamed and the vital resistance of
the body lowered from any cause,
