WIRELESS CURE
The Current Used from The
Shore to Ship TO Save Cap
tHIn.

Cured by wireless is the latest drama
of real life written in the Navy Depart
ment records by the Marine Hospital
service. Captain Dean, Of the Light
ship off Nantucket Shoals, is the hero
and owes his life to the surgeons in
charge Of the Naval Hospital at New
port.
Captain Dean became III a week ago.
The first mate minisiered to him, but
the captain got no better. He was in
a pretty bad way when one Of the crew
thought OF the wireless.
The operator began to call sor the
Naval Hospital. When he got an at
swer he sent message to surgeon
who promptly took seat beside the
wireless operator and asked for Deans
symptoms. The ship operator des.
cribed the case. The doctor prescribed

Whenan electromagnetic storm twen-

stopped all use OF telegraphs and cables

no one knew the cause, but all electfi-
clans predicted that it would soon be
known.

1t is known that electric lines OF force

THE DEAD TO LIFE
That is the Next M0ye On the
Checker Beard of Chance.

Thaddeus Teitze, The Austrian scient-
ist who stirred the world Of science this
week By declaring that he had at last
discovered an elixir Of life, by which be
could bring the dead back, has obtained
subject who is willing to submit him
self to the experiment
Thisis G. W. Reese Of Kansas City,
Mo. who writes that under certain fl
nanogaI conditions he will undertake the
experiment, Professor Tietze has wired
that he would accept the offer.
Reese only wanted a dem onstration Of
the power OF the elixir Of life on an ami
NAL and then he would place himself in
the hands Of the professor to kill and
rcsurrect for 81 ,OO0 in advance.
Professor Tietze recently came into a
big estate in his own country, from
which he was banished becouse Of his
advanced ideas, and this stipulation was
no objection.
II no subject was obtained Professor
T,etze was 30 confident that lie had in
tended to submit the treatment 20 other
hands and himself become the subject
He also pluus to form large stUch com
pany and build an institution for th.
perfection and application OF his discov-
cry.
His contention is that any ANNA
that died an unnatural death can be re
suscitated within five hours Of the time
respiration ceases. He buries his sub
lsct in subject in compound and ere
ates a new life.

An Education Necessary.

1t has been said that "Poverty is a
kind of blindness. We can only grope
through life when we are poor, hitting
and manning ourselves against every
angle" But the blindness OF poverty
is due to it's ignorance Of ways that it
might utilize if it were educated. We
should not plead poverty as an excuse
for not having an education when
great many of US are spending money
which if applied toward acquiring an
education would pay the expense OF
much needed course.
There is a prepared place for every
prepared person, and so long as you
have an ambition and few minutes OF
spare time each day you are not poor.
Do not complain about the unequal dis
tribution of the riches of the earth, for
the brains of people make the wealth
Of a nation, and you may, with an ed
ucation, secure proportionate share.
Nlne-tenths of the poverty in the land
is caused by lack of ambition. say
this because lack of ambition means a
lack of education and lack Of educa-
ton now means failure.
/ To not study means to go backward
and a minute wasted at the beginning Of
your career will diverge your possibili-
ties for success in the future to the Width
of an immeasurable disappointment
Your time wasted may mean a fortune

A HEALTH HINT.
Money for Health.

The Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee of the lower
house of Congress states that 20
cents out of every dollar Of the
government revenues are expend-
ed to provide for expected wars or
to pay the bills for wars that have
already taken place. And yet this
is a so-called era Of peace! Let
us see: The Navy will cost the
people this year the tidy little sum
Of sl22, OOO,OO0 the War Depart
ment 500, 600, 600 and sl65, 100000
viii be spent in payment OF PEN
sions. All this vast sum, aggre-
eating $685., 100000, will be ex-
pended on account OF wars.
If only the National Govern
ment could see it's way clear to
devote, say, 10 per cent of this
vast sum to the stamping out of
tuberculosis in this country, and
keep it up at the same rate for the
next ten years, how much might
be accomplished in the saving Of
human life and in adding to the
sum of human health and happi-
ness!

almost too late there is scarcely any game left
to profit by it. But if the present law is permitted
