DR.. G. W, Safeeby, who is one of the
brightest English writer's Of the present
time on subjects relating to science,
makes an inspiring statement concern
ing the possibilities of public sanitation.
He says:
The absolute determination of the
tubercle bacillus is not a chimerical
ideal. Assuredly it need not sem SO to
us now, any more than it did to that
supreme benefactor of mankind, Louis
Pasteur, who declared that cit is in
the power Of man to make al parasitic
diseases disappear from the earth. -
Public opinion has only to give the
word, as it will some day, and the two
foremost Of all diseases, tuberculosis
and malaria, will pass into the limbo
of history. We are only at the begin
ming, but it is the beginning of the end,
and that end will be the extinction Of
all infectious diseases whatsoever. AL
ready we are in possession Of knowledge
which, if applied, would transform the
face Of the earth, ameliorate beyond
conception the conditions Of human
life, and well-nigh decimate the death
rate. At present only one man in a
hundred, it is said reaches the age of
sixty five. The man or woman who dies
because, in general, "man is mortal, ;"
is scarcely to be observed. The lower
animals die Of murder or starvation, or
old age, we die Of disease. But disease
is capable Of yielding to the human
intelligence; it is SO yielding and will
so yield more rapidly and signally as
the years proceed to offer us the fruit
of tree of life which Pasteur planted.

We do not hear very much of the
humane society these days but the So
ciety is attending strictly to it's bust
ness nevertheless and doing some very
effective work. The officers of the So
ciety prefer to work as quietly as pos
sible and to correct abuses without 60
ing into court whenever possible and
the public should bear in mind that all
communications referring to matters
that need attention from the society IS
agents are held strictly confidential
The society carefully investigates all
charges for itself no matter how high
the standing of those who make COM
plants may be and acts only upon its
own evidence so that those who lodge
any complaints with the society need
not fear any unpleasant publicity.

SIMMONS BIG CONTRIBUTOR

Every Grand Army post in the coun-
try contributed to the $4,000 required
for the memorial monument TO DIR.
Benjamin F. Stephenson, founder of
the Grand Army of the Republic, which
will be unveiled in Washington, D. c.,
on Aug. l. The designs was furnished
by j. Massey Rhind, the New York
sculptor, whose other works have won
him fame i'll the United States.
The form of the monument arrived
at, is three sided obelisk, placed on a
rusticated die erected on a platform
of circular steps, because of the ex-
traordinary advantages of view given
it by the site selected which is at the
junction Of Louisiana avenue; Seventh
and &c" streets, N. w., making three
approaches and giving a front view
from each thoroughfare
The material to be used for this me-
mortal will be warm colored granite,
and the three panels and medallion with
badges of the fraternity on either side,
as well as the inscriptions, will be OF
United States standard statuary bronze.
On the Seventh street side above the
portrait of Maj Stephenson the panel
of " Fraternity" is represented by
soldier and sailor in the uniform worn
during the Civil war, supporting a
United States flag in the center, under
which is an appropriate inscription.
On the "C2' street side. the panel of
Loyalty" is portrayed by a strong
youthful female figure, sword in one
hand and shield bearing the seal of
the United States in the other, be-
meath which there is also a suitable
motto.
On approaching from Louisiana ave-
nue. the panel seen represents f'EChar-
ity"-a matronly female figure vol
uminously draped, tenderly caring for
young boy partly nude at her side,
while she holds a cup in her right
hand, below which an inscriptio oc-
ours
The portrait of Maj. Stephenson is
placed In a circular frame with lis
name and rank worked in around the
circular molding, on either side Of this
tablet there are two large badges sim
liar in design to those worn by the
soldiers ans sailors in diverse and
reverse.
The height Of the monument will
be at least 30 feet and 80 feet IN plan
at the lower step, which is circular in
form, as is the site, which is a plot of
grass measuring rs feet in diameter
The monument is to be completed
about Aug. l, 1909, when an encamp-
ment of the Grand Army Of the Re
public will take place at Washington
to unveil it.
1t may be remembered that among
the many important works of this
character that Massey Rhind has ere
ated, is included the decoration of the
panels on Gen. Grant IS tomb, at River
side drive, New York City, which be
illustrated inside by appropriate pan
els, as well as the two alIegorical fig
nres over the entrace

In connection with the charges that

while Mrs. Gould in her turn had
filled his yacht with a crew of gum
shoe men in her employ, were some
of the revelations made today in
connection with New York's latest
millionaire divorce scandal
What evidence Mr.. Gould will offer
on his side is not known. He has,
however, had his wife Swallowed for
long time past, but it was not till
her old butler, Paul, found one of
the jealous husbands paid agents
peeping through a key hole that even
the servants themselves suspected
that the house was filed with private
detectives. Paul made known his
discovery to Mrs Gould, who put
the man through the third degree and
after he had given up the names of
his confederates, turned the whole
gang out of the house.
Mrs. Gould was reported early last
spring to be considering getting g
divorce from her husband, but the
breach was slowly healing between
them, when this episode made a rec
onciliation impossible.

doesn't always say what be believes.

Elgin, H., July 2.-(SpeciaD
With the marriage of William H.
Warner and Mrs. Libbte Mcpherson
at st. Joseph, Mich, Saturday the
climax is reached in the unique War
ner-McPherson alleged wife-trading
episode which last summer shocked
Elgin.
Neighborhood disapproval of the
alleged trading between Warner and
William T. Mcpherson terminated in
a divorce in each family. The two
families were intimate. Friendly calls
of each at the others home and
frequent visits between the quartet
are said to have resulted in two love
affairs, in which Mcpherson spurned
his wife for Mrs. Warner and Warner
his spouse for Mrs. Mcpherson.
The husbands are said to have
agreed to swap mates Mcpherson
packed his effects and moved into
Warmers house as Warner took his
clothes to McPherson's home. Both
couples have children, Mrs. McPher-
sn having married daughter, who
accompanied her to st. Joseph.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local dis
ase and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
tratment. Halls Catarrh Cure, man
