lustrations of the rapid decline in the
use of drugs in the various hospitals
Of the country, featured today's ses-
sion of the eleventh annual convention
Of the American hospital association
here. They were shown In the re-
port of the committee on hospital
efficiency, hospital finance and econo-
mics Of administrations which was
presented by DR.. r. r. Ross, superin-
tendent of the Buffalo, N. Y, general
hospital.
DR.. Ross declared that fifteen years
ago the annual cost of medicines for
each patient in the Massachusetts
general hospital was about $3.50.
while last year 1t was only 81 cents.
He showed that the cost Of drugs in
the Buffalo general hospital also had
shown marked decrease for the past
year. The committee urged full pub

Unnecessarily high, was the burden

Rome, Sept. 24.-It is reported here
that the Duke of Abruzzi finally has
given up all hope of winning the hand
OF Miss Katherine Elkins. the daugh-
ter Of Senator Stephen B. Elkins of

ly he has been appointed to the COM

in December for a prolonged cruise
in northern Europe.
Under his present orders there will
be no opportunity for a year at least

THE REL|G|0N|STS
SLIPPED A COG
End of the World Which Thev
Prophesied Did Not
Come

West Duxbury, Mass, Sept. 24-In-
spired by the conviction that today
would bring the end of the world, 300
and more members of the Latter Reign
of the Apostolic church or the Triune
1mmersionists, as they prefer to be
called, assembled early about their
place Of worship. There the devotees
awaited destruction and publication
OF the world by fire in the fulfillment
of their own prophesy. In contrast
with the recent proceedings, when the
noisy revival services have been car
ried on far into the night, last night
passed almost in silence, as the rain
fell upon the tents in which those
who have come here from far and near
are sheltered. In fact, by some the
gathering Of the heavy clouds at sun
set last night was declared to be a
Sign" and the heavy downpour of
the night an "omen" consistent with
their expectation. Yesterday after
noon eighteen converts were baptized
in a nearby pond. AS the appointed
time drew near, the believers filled
the chapel and devoted their ener-
gies to the singing of hymns. Short
ly before 10 o'clock the skies dark
ened and those who had been watch
ing for the "sign" appeared convinc-
ed that the millennium was at hand.
One hymn followed another as the
believers waited for the final purifi-
cation. Ten O'Clock came but the sky
frightened and the millennium in the
opinion of the believers, was appar-
emily postponed for brief period. 1t
was the neXplained that the revela-
tion which was made to one of their
number last night indicated that the
destruction was to be deferred until
some time during the twenty-four
hours beginning at o'clock this even
ing. The faithful still continued con-
fident that their prophecies would be
fulfilled and they spent the remain

ing hymns. There was little comment
when the hour designated for the

EGG REVEALS GOLD
HAS MAP SHOWING SPOT OF
BURIED TREASURE ON SHELL,
Ezra Delivers One Dollar for Gypsy
Wares and Gets Wonderful Se-
cret In Return for His
Money.

Tyson, Vt.-Ezra Burt, who lives
about a mile east of the Corners, has
a hen which no amount of money will
fowl with bedraggled feathers and
semi-bald head, and what Is more it
has laid only one egg in it's entire two
years existence Still, old Betsy, as
the hen is called, has niche IN Ez-
ra's heart, and gets the very best
grain the farm affords.
The secret of all this Is that the
one egg Betsy laid contained on its
shell a raised water-line map of the
spot where old jeremiah Burt, Ezras
great-grandfather, buried his gold at
the time of the revolutionary war, and
with the aid of this map Ezra recov-
cred the treasure. Just how much this
was no one has been able to find out.
but it is known that the mortgage on
the farm has been paid off and the
Burt family is living in comfort.
The Burts gave up hunting for the
secreted wealth 40 years ago, after
they had searched and dug until they
were tired out. They knew that the
paternal Burt sunk his gold some
where in the earth, and went OF to
war without telling his family where
he had placed it, further than that It
was on the farm.
Last summer a gypsy came along
selling beads and laces and offered to
go into trance and solve the treasure
| riddle provided Ezra bought a dol
| lars worth of her wares. Burt took up
the offer and in her trance the woman
said that some day an old scrawny
hen would lay an egg in which would
be found map. If this were followed
the treasure would be found. Ezra
thought he was "stung," but he paid
the dollar
Nothing more happened until a
month ago. when Betsy was found in
the wood box behind the kitchen
stove. Horrified at the idea of having
hen in her kitchen, Mrs. Burt shooed
her out, and was surprised to find an
egg nesting in the shavings. The egg
had peculiar raised lines on the shell
and Ezra was called. He remembered
the prophecy of the gypsy and care

there was a map with little star al
the base of an old maple tree in the
sugar orchard.
With a pick and shovel Burt sci
forth, and an hour later returned
with a discolored copper soap kettle
heavy with gold. The family kept the
secret until the mortgage was paid
when it became common property. AL
efforts to get Ezra to tell how much
money he found in the kettle have

Rear Admiral Sperry, commander

mindedness. Several years ago he was
talking with a group Of fellow officers

had been ordered for duty on the
Asiatic station.
Are you going to take your wife

Policeman Mccormick Solves Problem
Of Handling case-Free Gentry
by Putting Them to Work
Cleaning Streets.

Burlington, N. J.-All hail Police
man Joseph Mccormick! The feats
of Horatius, who kept the bridge and
other heroes Of ancient history are
naught compared to the brave deed
he accomplished and, to think of It,,
single-handed, too.
What did Officer Mccormick do to
earn all this praise? Why, he tackled
the tramp problem single-handed and
now tramps tramping through Jersey
are heard singing Gee, But This Is a
Lonesome Town" as they steer away
from the city of Burlington.
The town has been worried by
tramps for the past few months. They
would apply to the lodging house con-
Quoted by the city, obtain a hearty
meal, good bed and then, with a
courteous Thank you," leave the
place next morning.
Many were caught "ringing"-that
is, trying to return the same evening
and work the stunt all over again.
Then Mccormick took affairs in hand.
Seeing the matter required careful
thought he asked for two-weeks' va
cation. that he might not be disturbed
in righting a municipal wrong.
The chief of police was aghast when
Mccormick made his request. as his
absence would deplete the force and
the other policemen in the town would
have double patrol duty to do. but
granted the request.
In a few days he was back on the
Job, smile of satisfaction spread
over his countenance. The tramp
problem was solved.
Tramps who applied for lodging
and supper were surprised at the kind
way in which they were received.
Never in all their tramp lives had
they been escorted to the supper table
with such grace.
Then came a cot and then breakfast
in the morning.
Immediately after their morning re-
past they were conducted to the city's
dirtiest streets, given broom and
told to sweep. One who rebelled was
Immediately given ten days in the city
Jail. The rest decided that discretion
was the better part of valor.
The tale spread. Every tramp in
the state soon heard OF the methods
OF Burlington. in treating the tramp
problem.
Needless to say the town is free
from tramps for the first time in
many years.

NEW IDEA

old notions of things. New ideas often

A Wis. couple examined an idea new

writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless,
nervous, sallow, weak and irritable.
My wife and l both loved coffee and
thought 1t was a bracer." (delusion.)
Finally, after years of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
Of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made 1t right we liked 1t
and were relieved of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
-fresher skin, steadier nerves, better
temper, etc.
"These changes were not sudden,
but relief increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY Of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
