ROOSEVELT ACCEPTS
THE PRESIDENCY
Notable Men Who Will Serve as
Officers of the international Con-
eress on Tuberculosis.

President Roosevelt's many sided
ness was strikingly illustrated during
the week the conference of governors
was in session. In spite of the many
interests political, personal and social
engaging his attention, he found time
to inform the officers of the -Internas
, tional Congress of Tuberculosis of
his acceptance of the presidency of
that congress-. which is to be held
in Washington on September 81 TO
October u. Incidentally, in COM
menting upon the Importance of the
anti Tuberculosis crusade from an
economic standpoint, he characterized
the movement as full of hope for the
individual and sure to confer mate
| rial benefit on the country as a
whole. He touched upon the oppor
tunity the gathering of scientists and
| investigators from every part of the
world will afford for the interchange
of knowledge and for the consequent
| increased efficiency on the part of
: the medical profession to be expected.
/ He referred also to the Strengthening
of international ties, and to the pro-
/ founder realization of the brother
hood of man to be gained from the
union of all nations in the fight
against the foe-the white plague
that is common to all The presi-
dents acceptance was addressed to
DR.. Lawrence F. Flick, of Philadel-
phia, chairman of the committee of
arrangements for the congress-. The
letter follows: ...t.

Washington Nav - 1908
Sir-It is with great pleasure that
1 accept the presidency of the Inter
national Congress on Tuberculosis
which is to meet in this city on Sept.
81, 1908, and extend its session to
Oct. u, 1908. Official duties, how
ever, may prevent my presiding at
the initial meeting of the congress,
in which case l will deputize Secre-
tary Cortelyou.
The Importance of the crusade
against tuberculosis, in the interest of
which this congress convenes, cannot
be overestimated when it is realized
that tuberculosis costs our country
two hundred thousand lives year,
and the entire world a million lives
year, besides constituting a most
serious handicap to material progress.
prosperity anu happiness, anu bcil6
an enormous expense to society. most
often in those walks of life where the
burden is least bearable.
Science has demonstrated that this
disease can be stamped out. but the
rapidity and completeness with which
| this can be accomplished depend up
on the promptness with which the
new doctrines about tuberculosis can
be inculcated into the minds of the
people and engrafted upon our GUS
toms, habits and laws. The presence
in our midst of representatives of
world wide workers in this magnifi-
cent cause gives an unusual oppor-
tunity for accelerating the education

culosis brings hope and bright pros

How He Saved Money.

A country politician in PENNSYLVANIA
managed to get elected to the legisla.
ture at Harrisburg for n term. When
he came back he built himself u fine
house. costing about $4,000. His old
neighbors. who knew he had no money
before he went to Harrisburg and who
knew the salary of a Pennsylvania
legislator. were curious to discover
where the returned statesman got
means to build the house. So one day
q committee waited on the man who
built the house. and the spokesman
said:
Jim. 1t may be none Of our business
to your thinhing. but we think you W
1t to as who sent you to the legislature
to explain where you got the money
with which you built this house. You
didn't have a cent before you went to
Harrisburg and owed everybody in the
place. How about it?"
"NNhy." said the builder. "it's simple
enough. You see. when we were in
Harrisburg we didn't keep a hired
girl."-Argonaut.

Lemon Wash For th. H.ir.

This preparation is unequaled in
bringing out the prettiest hues Of light
hair. and. what is better, 1t is perfectly
harmless. but must be used according
to directions. Take one ounce OF salts
of tartar. juice Of three good sized
lemons. n quart Of soft or distilled
water. Dissolve the salt in the water.
which should be tepid. and add the
strained juice Of the lemons. The
chemical action OF lemon juice upon
the alkali changes the latter to an oil.
while it still holds its cleansing proper
ties. When the shampoo has ceased to
efervesce after rubbing carefully and
thoroughly into the scalp and roots of
the hair rinse we'll with oceans Of run
ming water and a bath spray to remove
every trace Of the shahpoo. This must
be done or the hair will be sticky and
not fnffy.-Boston Globe.

The freaks of the sea are the anglers
and bat fishes. The people of North
Carolina have aptly named the angler
the allmouth. for the tail begins where
the mouth ends. Inhabiting the north
Atlantic. the angler has been given a
variety Of names. On the Massachu-
sets coast 1t is known as goosefish.
Rhode Island terms it bellowfsh, and
Connecticut gives 1t the cognomen of
molligut. Jamaica bay calls it the car.
petbagger. England. Ireland. Scotland
and Wales all have their local names.
The names of the English give to this
one fish are expressive of its habits. to
say the least. They call it toadfsh,
frog. fishing frog, devilfish. sea devil.
nassfish, monkfish, pocketish, wide.
gut. kettlemaw and widegap. Thomas
Pennant. who in 1776 wrote his Brit.
ish Zoology" did not like the name Of
fishing frog. then applied to the fish.
SO he Changed the old name of fishing
frog for the more simple one Of an
gler."

For more than a century. from 1859

reign till a rival appeared in the shape
OF a double hyacinth. Rea says of the

sorts. and many Of them Of small es-
teem." Some double varieties were.
however, known at that time. three be-
ing mentioned by Bauhin, but the dou-

rage as the tulip. though during the
height of its popularity great prices
were paid for bulbs in Holland. 1t is

PEOPLE OF THE DAY FOR The HOUSEWIFE
Chief Of Standard OIL.

Although John d. Rockefeller is the
titular head Of the Standard Oil com
pany, the actual direction of the at.
fairs of the vast corporation is vested
In John d. Archbold, vice president of
the company.
1t is said Of Mr.. Archbold that no
other person is so close to John d.
Rockefeller. none so high in the chief
confidence. And this regard has been
won by devotion to Standard interests
through many years. He has been
with the Standard Oil company since
1875. His recent defense, through the
press. of the methods of the company
he controls is fresh in the public mind.
Mr.. Archbold is Of Scotch descent
and is a native Of Ohio. His boyhood
