ENTHUSIAST
YIELDS TO FASCINATION

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 16.-As a re-
suit of mental suggestion, the physi-
clans say Brigadier Scott Girard,
head Of the State Anti-suicide Bu-
reau Of the Volunteers of America,
tried to kill himself last night by
swallowing so stychnine pellets,
which had been taken from a man
dissuaded from suicide during the,
day. and turning on the gas after
closing all openings.
While letter to his wife in Chi
cago lay sealed before him, he began
to write of his feelings as death
crept over him, and continued the
morbid study in death until he be-
came unconscious He was rescued
only when wedding party of friends
came for him two hours afterward
and was taken to a hospital. The doc
tors have little hope of his recovery.
Brigadier Girard was found in his
chair, fully dressed evidently pre-
pared to go with the wedding party
that found him, when the insane
suggestion of killing himself as the
hundreds he has convinced of the
folly of such a thing have told him
they thought of doing About him
were the poisons, knives, revolvers,
and suicide clippings that form the
victory cabinet as Girard had laebl-
ed his case of death instruments TAX
en- from other would-be suicides
Girard is % years old. He came
here to establish his anti-suicide ho-
tel, which has been remarkably sue
cessful. DR.. Norris, the city assist
ant assigned to the suicide bureau
for emergency calls who had belDed
restore hundreds of would-be sui
cides, was the doctor called to work
on the man he had so often seen
fighting death for others. Girard
was happy in his marriage and had
no troubles whatever, so far as is
known, and the physicians say that
his suicide work had become an OBJ
secession and had fascinated him until
he succumbed to the mental sugges-
ton.

Utica, N Y, Sept. 16.-John O'Brien
aged GA, justice of the peace at
'Sherburne, is dead there, following
an attack of palsy due to his having
had to do too much writing in per-
forming his official duties.
O'Brien was elected to the Justice
ship few weeks ago, and shortly
thereafter he was called upon to ad-
judicate a lawsuit. It was necessary
for him to write steadily during the
progress of the trial, taking down the
minutes of the case.
The trial lasted a day and next
morning OBrien experienced a Sc
we're pain in his right arm, Palsy
quickly set in, and he was forced to
take to his bed The palsy which first
attacked him in the right arm ex-
tended through his system

SAVED FROM MATERNAL WRATH.
Boys Fervent Prayer Was Answered
 in the Nick of Time.

A suburbanite is fond of telling this story of his five-year-old son Bobby. Being of an inquiring turn of mind the youngster one day managed to turn on both faucets in the bathtub to see what would happen. It chanced that the stopper was in place, and the tub rapidly flied up, to the great de- light of Bobby. Finally, however, the tub became so full that it threatened 10 overflow on to the floor, and Bobby. having a proper respect for the mater nal slipper, became frightened and tried vainly to turn off the water. Be- ing unable to, for some reason, he gazed tearfully at the exercising flood, and then, mindful both of his religious training and the occasional visits of the plumber, he plunged down on his knees, and his elder sister, who hap pened to be passing at the moment, heard him exclaim, fervently:
 70. Lord, please stop this water running! And, O, Lord, if you cant do it, please send somebody that can!
 His prayer was answered, for his sister rose to the occasion and turned off the water and temporarily saved Bobby from the much-feared slipper

Rates of Wages and Cost of Food.

Washington.-The average wage per hour in 1907 were 3.7 per cent higher than in 1906, the regular hours of labor per week were CA per cent lower than in 1906, and the number of employees in the establishment in vestigated was 1 per cent greater than in 1906 These are some of the facts of interest in statement issued Sat urday by the Bureau of Labor as the result of an investigation of the prin- ciple wage working occupations in 4,169 establishments representing the principal manufacturing and mechani- cal industries of the country. The ar ticle is entitled Rates of Wages and Retail Prices of Food, 1890 to 1907.'
 Investigations covering the sales Of 1,014 dealers in 66 localities, show that the retail prices of 30 principal articles of food, according to consump- tion in representative workingmens families were Az per cent higher in 1907 than in 1906. As the advanc in retail prices from 1906 to 1907 was greater than the advance in wages per hour, the purchase power of an hours wages, as measured by food, was slightly less in 1907 than in 1906, the decrease being one-half of 1 per cent. The average hourly wages in 1907 were higher than in any other year of the 1S-year period paid from 1890 to 1907, and more than 20 per cent higher than the average in any year from 1890 to 1900. As compared in each case with the average for the 10 year period, 1890 to 1899, the aver age hourly wages in 1907 were 28.S per cent higher, the number of en- ployes 44.4 per cent greater and the average hours of labor per week per cent lower.

BALLOON ADVANCE COLUMN
Belief Freely Expressed in Army and Navy Circles That They Will Be
 Used in Next War.

Washing ton.-'In the next war that made up of balloons and airships."
 This is the belief freely expressed by army and navy officers here. For this particular reason the army bal loon tests which are to begin at Ft. Meyer next week will receive much attention in military circles. It is un- derstood thet several of the military attaches of the diplomatic corps will be at Ft. Meyer to take notes and re port 10 their respective governments. One of the most important results of the Ft. Meyer tests probably will be the establishment of an aerostatic corps in the navy. Assistant Secre- tary of the Navy Newberry wifi st one of the interested spectators. He has been following closely the pro- gress made in ballooning and has re- quested General Allen of the Signal corps to notify him when the trial will take place at Ft. Meyer.
 It is understood that the American Air Ship and Balloon Corporation is building a dirigible balloon to be tried out before a naval board when com pleted.
 Another enthusiast in the navy is Rear Admiral C. NJ. Chester of the Bureau of Equipment. Admiral Ches- ter claims that aeronautics s.iJu.d be nf hncancn tho mariner is specially fitted to deal with the conditions that are met within the air. Lieut. Robert P. Henderson, chief engineer of the battleship Missouri, has made extensive experiments, hay ing for their object the application of the gyroscope to flying machines. He has the support of Admiral Chester and other naval officers in recommend ing the establishment of a corps in the navy to be devoted to the applica- tion of aeronautics to naval warfare. The advantage to be derived from such a corps, properly equipped, was clear ly demonstrated in the Japan-Russian war, when ballons were for the first time employed III naval uelenSe, al though the idea had existed for some time.
 Experiments have been made in France of balloon ascensions from the decks of men-o'war and flights were made over the sea, demonstrating the great possibilities in the way of re- connoisance. Without divulging the presence of battleships the balloon gives a radius of observation of 60 miles, instead of the ordinary range of 12 miles frcm the deck of the ves- sel It also renders it possible to see objects below the surface of the water, such as mines and submarines, which cannot be located from the deck of shin

DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Pos,um

A physician of Wash, D. C., says of his coffee experience:
 For years suffered with periodical headaches which grew more frequent until they became almost constant. So severe were they that sometimes l was almost frantic. l was sallow, consti- pated, irritable, sleepless; my mem- ory was poor, I trembled and my thoughts were often confused.
 My wife, in her wisdom, believed coffee was responsible for these ills and urged me to drop it. l tried many times to do so, but was it's slave.
 Finally Wife bought package of Postum, and persuaded me to try it, but she made it same as ordinary coffee and I was disgusted with the taste. q make this emphatic because I fear many others have had the same expe- rience.) She was distressed at her failure and we carefully read the di- rections, made it right, boiled it full 15 minutes after boiling commenced, and with good cream and sugar, liked it--it invigorated and seemed to nOurish me.
