Preparations have been nearly CON-

citation Of the United States.
The campaign is an outcome Of the last
convention Of the=Bill Posters, at which
time a resolution was adopted granting
free Of charge to the National Association
the Study and Prevention of ,Tubercu-
losis space on all of the billboards con-
trolled by this organization, located in
8, 400 towns and villages of the country.
The National Association was at once con.
fronted with the difficulty OF accepting
the generous gift of the Bill Posters, be-
cause OF the lack Of funds to carry out the
program proposed. The Poster Printers
offered to print all of the posters free OF
charge, but the problem of paper was such
large one, involving so many thousand
dollars that the National Association was
obliged to appeal to paper manufacturers
in all parts of the United States. AS q
result of these requests sufficient paper
has been received to start printing 10, 600
posters. The sketches for the designs
have also been solicited from prominent
artists in and around New York City.
Through the generosity of these differ
ent groupes, the National Association is
able to inaugurate one of the largest bill.
posting campaigns ever undertaken by
philantropic organization. If sufficient
paper is procured, million posters will
be pasted on billboards in every State in
the Union.
The posters will be nine feet long and
seven feet wide, and will be printed in
several colors. Posters are designed to
show graphically how consumption can
be cured and prevented. They will be
distributed through the local and State
anti-tuberculosis associations and through
individuals interested in the crusade
against this disease in all parts of the
United States.

u DEAD AFTER FOOTBALL GAMES
List of GridirOn Fatalities for Year
Equals Record of 1895

Equals Record of 1905
4 Save for scattered games, the football
season of 1909 is ended. Il has been /
most disastrous one for the players, the
number Of deaths running higher thar
ua,ial.
| Twenty-Five youths were killed during
games or died later as result of injuries
received during play. Thirteen young
men were seriously hurt, several being
crippled for life. As for minor injuries,
and these include everything from the
breaking of>a leg down to twisted liga.
ments, more than 200 persons suffered.
In comparison with other years, the
list Of fatalities for 1905. 9.equals the record
of 1905 when twenty-five persons were
killed. Last year only eleven were killed,
and the year before the mortality list
reached fifteen.
Other lists published this season place
the number of dead as high as thirty, but
these contain the names of men who died
during the early part Of the year, from
hurts received during previous seasons.
Names are also given OF men who, while
seriously injured, have not died aud of
men who died from other causes, Harry
Huston, Of Crawfordsville, Ind, for in-
stance, died of heart disease due to ever.
exertion during game, and not to any
injury due to rou2hness of the game.
One of the players most seriously in
iured is Midshipman Earl D. Wilson, OF
the Naval Academy. His spinal column
is fractured and he is hopelessIy para
ly zed. About the same time that he was
hurt, Cadet Engene A. Byrne, Of West
Point, was killed in q game. This fatal
accident led to the cancellation of the
Army-Navy game, which vas to have
been played in Philadelphia.
The Iist of deaths and seriously hurt
contains a large number of injuries to
the skull aud yertebrae, Meek broken"
''back broken" fractured skulI'' occur
with startling frequency.
A compilation OF the minor injuries has
been made, and while il is not absolutely
accurate because il is incomplete, still il
shows she range of hurts that come to
players. 1t shows:
Broken lega, Is; broken arms, 8; broken
jaws, 3; broken coIlarbonss, II; fractured
skulls, 4; conclusion OF brain, 10; internal

shoulders, l3; paralysis, 2.
About one-third Of the killed and in. /
jured were college men. the others being |
high school boys and members OF athletic |
associations.
The extremely large number of deaths
has called forth q vide discussion as to |
the merits Of the game and the advisable
ity of n aking further changes in the rules
go as to reduce the chances Of fatalities to |
q minimum.
Among the victims are Clarence Pierce,
OF Wilmington. who died of injuries in his
stomach, sustained through other players
falling on him in a scrimmage.

WORK FOR CONGRESS
Defect In Pure Food Law to be Remedied
at Next Session

i
When Congress meets in December one
OF the questions TO be ihrashed out will
undoubtedly be the revision of the pure
food laws TO meet the demands of the
general body Of consumers for still fur.
ther Improvement in tile methods il
vogue in many food factories.
One Of the points overlooked ID the
original act was the treatment Of peaches
and apricots in canning plants. II is the
practice OF many canneries to immerse
peaches in a boiling solution of eaustic
soda and allow the fruit to stew IN this
chemical until the skins of the fruit are
eaten loose. The fruit is then put though
several waslings until the skins are
washed away. This process is about a
cent and half or two cents a ran cheap.
eT than peeling by knife. Those who
are calling attention 10 this chemical
treatment say that the use of the I've is
not the worst feature OF the process, but
contend that in order to use this cheap
peeling process it is necessary to use green
and unripe fruit for canning. Ripe fruit
will not stand the lye process but become
discolored and disintegrated in the caustic
soda. The little flavor which the unripe
peaches have is killed by the lye treat.
ment SO that the result is oody, taste.
less, canned peach which deper ds for
flavor ON the syrup which lie added in
the canning process.
The way to tell e-peeled peach is to
wash away the syrup and then taste the
fruit. II it is tasteless and puIpy the
chances are it is lye-peeled peach.
In the several washings to which the
peach is subjected after it is peeled by I've,
most of the chemical is undoubtedly
washed away but if any of it is left the
consumer gets it with his fruit.
Congress did not mention this subject
in the pure food laws, consequently the
Gamers who use this method are not
compelled to state the fact on their labels.
The present agitation has for its purposes
the enactment Of measure TO remedy
this defect.
1t this movement proves tuecessf
every Gamer will have to state on his
label If the peaches be used were peeled
by csustic soda or any other chemical.
That of course will put tue question right
up to the. consumer. II they would as
soon eat fruit which had been soaked in
lye they can do so. Many of course will
prefer to have their fruit handled in the
good old fashioned kitchen way, by kniEe-
peeliDg, which also means much for the
quality of canned fruit by keeping intact
the original fruit flavor.
The last two years have seen a great
advance in the methods used in various
canneries and with the new law a still
further advance in the direction OF whole
some production will be assured. When
the processes employed in canneries are
known to be perfectly wholesome, there
will be greater use of canned fruits and
the final result will be profitable for all
concerned, including tue farmer who will
get greater market for his product.

Derrickson bad cla-ge of the tearing
down of the old Virden Hotel, which
had been standing in Lewes for more than

then, according to the rumor, which be
will not deny, that he pulled out between
