Disappearance Often Traced to
Mental Derangement Caus-
ing Loss of Memory.

IT HE most terrible word which came
from the battlefields- of the Civil
Wal was missing" In killed, or
wounded, or prisoner, there was some
thing tangible to grapple with. The
dead hero could be gathered to the
family vault, the wounded patriot could
be succored and the captive friend
might be released. But for the missing,
love could only fold its hands and inn
agine all kinds of horrors.
With almost every issue of a news
paper there is shown that men are miss
ing in the quietude' of peace as COM
pletely as they were in the turmoil of
battle. Today there are in thousands
of homes vacancies created but yester-
day. Police records in all the great
dren are missing disappearing in
large numbers.
In London during last year 35,053 per-
M were reported missing at the diff
ferent police stations of that city. OF

but it is estimated that 10000 found
their way back to their homes, and
their families were so glad to see them
that they did not remember to report
to the police the fact of their return.
II this estimate is correct, and it comes
from the head of the London police,
it leaves about 1900 individuals who
made a successful exodus for one rea-
son or another.
AS with London, so with the great
cities of this country. Not a day passes
but persons go from their homes on the
ordinary business of life, leaving behind
them an expectancy of the usual return,

Many Reported as Missing Die

but are never seen or heard of more,
unless it be that after an absence, often
p~rotracted for years, they are found,
or their return of their own will as
suddenly and for as little reaso as
they disappeared.
Sometimes there is a reason for dis
appearing and a return, but in a very
great many instances where there is no
return after long ear years there can
possibly be given nc cause for the dis
appearance. Within the present month
Charles M. Williams, a famous baseball
player and college graduate, was found

TARIFF ISSUE
WILL REMAIN

law is, they don't want to be bothered any longer with the ques
ton, shows a very shallow Judgment. The tariff question will
not down, and the issue will never be settled until it is
settled right. The people know that in the bill enacted at the
special session of Congress special interests were unduly favored
at the expense of the consumer. They know that pledges given
before the presidential election were deliberately violated. So
far as the general tariff system is concerned, the question is
settled. Reform will now have to deal with certain schedules,
and legislation on these schedules will not affect general bust
ness, while reform will greatly benefit all business interests. The
Republican West will remain the centre of tariff reform senti-
ment. The farmers there have learned a great deal about the
tariff, and the knowledge has made them determined to keep up
the fight until the Aldrich Cannon regime in Congress is driven
out Of power or compelled to surrender to real tariff reform.
President Taft has undertaken the great task on his trip through
the West Of converting the people there to the new tariff, but the
Impression he will make will last no longer than his addresses

NO REVISION
SAVE IN CONVENTION

to special amendments in 1914 than they have been in 1909. Nor
will they be. In view of that fact, the Press thinks, and cor
recHy, too, that "a State convention called to recast the whole
Constitution of New Jersey might present an amended Consdtu-
ton that would secure the attention and interest of the voters
The New York Sun has also come around to the opinion that the
only means of procuring constitutional changes in New Jersey is
a constitutional convention. A set of amendments discussed and
adopted by the representatives of the people and then submitted
to the popular vote will assuredly command such a degree of
public interest as to bring out a full vote at the polls. In a
popular convention judiciary amendments prepared by eminent
lawyers could be thoroughly discussed, and when adopted by the
convention they would be popular amendments. No objection on
that score could be raised against them. The Philadelphia Press
only repeats what the STAR had already declared-that there
would be no constitutional revision in this State save through a
constitutional convention. And the sooner one is called the better.

WHY JERSEY
PRIDE is HURT

modification that his State has been made to play such a shabby
role in the affair. Not a dollar will it have contributed to the cee-
bration, and not a single step has it taken to identify New Jersey
with an event in which K has such a historic interest. 1t is
not true that the State was so poor last winter that the Legis-
lature could not afford to make an appropriation. Conceding
all that was claimed at the time about the States resources, it
would have been easy enough to provide the means for a decent
representation of the State in an event of such great importance,
in which State pride and patriotism were involved. Passing
around the hat to pay the cost of Illuminating the Palisades only
serves to bring out the %shabbiness of the State government into
stronger relief.

Breathe Right.

The importance OF proper ventila-
ton. and ventilation without Great
ing draft, was emphasized in the
October Bulletin. Among other
simple methods OF decreasing the
seasons heritage Of coughs, colds,
and pneumonia. might be mentioned
correct methods of breathing. The
late Captain Catlin, an American
artist, who spent number OF years
with the Indian tribes on the upper
Missouri, placed the highly sugges-
tive words-"Shut your mouth and
save your life"-on the title page OF
his book. Captain Catlin alleges
that the almost absolute freedom OF
these early Indian tribes from pull
monary and throat trouble can be
ascribed 10 the fact that they al
ways breath through their nose and
never through their mouth.
In adults mouth is
largely due 70 force of habit. In
children it may be due to adenoids
or enlarged tonsils. These condi-
tiOns are far-reaching in their con-
sequences, and require the attention
OF q skilled physician. Besides
proper ventilation and correct
breathing, three other precautions
should be taken to Il ssen the likeli-
hood OF catching cold. First, in
passing from O heated room into the
cold atmosphere, do not talk for q
! space OF several minutes. Give the
overheated mucous membranes a
chance to become accustomed 10 the
fall in temperature. Secondly. do
not go out into the cold air imme-
diately after eating hearty meal.
A respite OF. at least, five or ten
minutes should DE taken in order 10
allow a readjustment of the cutane-
Gus and deep circulation. And,
thirdly, avoid getting the feet damp
or wet. Cold and wet feet are pro-
duction OF much harm, aud the IA
nous old adage, keep the head cold
and the feet warm" still holds
good.-Heslth Officers Bulletin.
