Fiqht AGAINST Tuberculosis,

From the New York Sun.
In cooperation with other admins
trative bureaus of the city govern
ment and with the intelligent assist
ance of a great number of unofficial
organizations and associations. the
health department of New York has
made within the last few years nota-
BILE progress in the effort to check tu-
berculosis. 1t has proved that the dis
ease can be cured in many cases and
that its spread may be stopped. 1t
has shown convincingly the incalcu-
liable loss inflicted on the public treas
ury and on private purses by this pre-,
ventable plague. Now the manag-
ers of this struggle for peoples lives
are asking the board of estimate for
moderate increases in the appropria-
lions for carrying on their work, to
hold what has been gained and to
make the advances necessary in a
campaign of this nature. But the
thousands of dollars spent now to
eradicate tuberculosis will save mill
lions of dollars in the future, besides
making the city a safer and more COM
Portable place of residence in the pres
ent. The money spent now is in
surance against expenditures for hos
pitfalls and sanitariums in the imme-
diate future and against the probable
ity of contracting the disease today.

Our Young Barbarians.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The upper classmen of an Ohio
college who tarred and feathered one
of the freshmen have given another
proof of the fact that the higher edu-
cation does not invariably eliminate
the last traits Of the tiger and the ape
among the highest order of mamma
liza. The effort to stamp out hazing
at American schools and colleges can
not be completely successful until un-
dergraduate public opinion has deter
mined that foolish and barbarous
practices. euphemistically styled
horse play" shall be discontinued.
The fact that students have been
blinded. permanently crippled or fatal
ly injured does not seem to deter a
few sophomores every year from en-
dangering the health, If not the lives
Of those who have just stepped across
the academic threshold to incur the
jeering hostility of the upper class
men, which, for the time being. is as
real as though the older men actually
hated their fellows and were eager to
inflict upon them bodily injury.

An Autumn GIadness.

The scent of mothballs filled the air.
He murmured as upon the floor
Some garments he bestowed with

Though fame is silent or unkind

It is sufficient bliss to find
My last years clothes are still fit:
"Ye melancholy days, what no!
You have no message grim for me-
This cherished garb of long ago
Shall wrap unmitigated g1ee.
What though a moth hole here or
there
Catches my fingers as they fit
Ger surfaces trifle bare
My last years clothes are still fit.
Now, let them mock, whose revelings
Amid the good things of the earth,
Have brought to them dyspeptic

Or too comfortable girth.

And thereby play the hypocrite?
Far better own my JOY immense.

SERIES OF SERVICES

In harmony with the simultaneous
movement of the churches of Rich
mond, the First English Lutheran
church has arranged for a series of
social services. beginning in the homes
of its members and to be continued in
the church. Arrangements for these
services have been completed and they
will be held as follows:
Monday evening, at rs. at the
home of Mrs. Emma Eggemeyer, 23i
South Fourth street
Tuesday evening, at T:4o. at the
home Of Mr. Ebon Louck. 1908 Main

Wednesday evening at the home OF
Mr.. VIM. Bartel. so South Twelfth

These services will be led by lay

On Thursday and Friday evenings at

It is expected that the members of
the church will rally to these centers

THE SQUARE DEAL.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

Young man
Do you know why there is such .
large proportion Of failures in bust
ness in this country?
Do you think it is because of lack
CT experience or of energy or Of proper
location or Of management or Of proper
advertising?
All these may have something to do
With business failures: but. according
to business man who has made his
millions. it is lack Of something else.
And what do you suppose is that lack :?
Lack Of downright business honesty!
You do not think SO? You have come
to believe perhaps, as many young men
do believe, that knowledge of the bust
ness. tricks of the trade" shrewdness
In getting the better Of a bargain. the
ingenuity Of deceit-that these are the
qualities by which men get on in the
world today.
That is where you are mistaken.
The millionaire mentioned. whose
name is known throughout the coun.
try. says:
I'm not preacher or a moralist-
Business isn't thing TO preach OF
grow sentimental over. But 1t is SO
simple in principle that only a fool
mistakes it-and fails"
Continuing. he says:
TWENTY-FIVE years ago l discovered
for myself that honesty was the easiest
graft known to business. 1t can't fail
in the hands Of q man with common
horse sense. Once let 1T get abroad
that every customer coming into your
place gets the square deal and you
can't keep them out with a club"
A very strong statement that.
But the man has proved it. He start
ed up in business determined upon
policy of making good" to every GUS
toner.
His definition OF making good was
the Golden Rule-that is to say he de-
termined to treat every customer Of
his precisely as he would want to be
treated if he were the customer. And
from that policy he reaped fortune.
Simple?
So simple, as he says. that "only a
fool mistakes it-and falls
There never was enunciated a truer
statement than that Of the old copy
books. Honesty is the best policy"
Do not get it into your head that
rascality pays. Dishonesty spells
FAILURE and spells it in capital let
tiers.
The square desl wins always. every
where.

And this is the truth.
The danger to Aldrich is Beverage.
What are the people of Indiana 60
ing to do about it,
Are they going to allow petty dis
sensions encouraged by the agents Of
Aldrich and Cannon and the U. S.
and fight Beveridge in the flank?
The people Of Indiana have a debt
duty to the rest Of the United States
to perform in closing up the ranks
for the further discontinue of the
enemies of the republic.

The Messenger to Garcia.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Solution of the Mystery.

Near the end of the term one even
ing. the teacher having charge of the
girls department on the memorable
vate stairway While passing from
the head of the stairway to the lobby,
she thought of the night Of terror to
the school, and glancing toward the
window of the nursery, she saw the
shadow of the nurse on the white win
dow curtain reach up her arm with
something like a knife in her hand.
She thought she saw a possible solution
of the mystery and, on going around
to the nursery she asked the nurse If
she could remember what she was do
ing that evening when Emily thought
she saw some one strike at her. After
a few minutes of thought she said that
she had just taken fresh candle from
the box on the table between the win
dows and put it in the candle stick and
as she was placing it on the mantle
she heard Emily scream. The teach
er requested the nurse to go through
the same motions she did at that time
while she went out into the porch. On
the whole solution of the mystery.
Returning to the school room she re-
quested the girls to follow her to the
floor above ad she could explain the
mystery that had for six months been
mystery to all of them. The ghost
was forever laid to rest.
The solution was both plain and SIM
pie. but then the principles of it were
understood by but few. At this day
most persons have often been instruct
ed and amused by pantomimes.
To repeat the experiment we want a
room divided by a sheet, on one side
bright light near the wall farthest
from the sheet, while persons or ami
mails are made to pass between the
light and curtain, while the audience
on the opposite side Of the sheet in the
dark. see the shadows on the sheet
which appear all to be on a flat sur
face. and many amusing combinations
are easily made. In this case the nur-
sery formed the room where the acts
were performed. the fire in the fire
place, the light, the nurse going
through the acts of placing a candle in
the candle stick and raising 1t up n
order to place it on the mantle over
the fire place. furnished the sceptre
that struck the girl, while the audience
in the dark was a nervous. homesick
girl. was crossing the porch. going to
the girls parlor. was the audience. the
white muslin curtain over the window
the screen.
A study of the plan of the building
will explain how such thing could be
possible in those early days. when can
dies were the only lights and the open
fire place was used for warmth, and
the principles of such simple expert
ments were unknown.
The Friends Boarding School of 1851
is a long ways from the Earlham of
today. Though then it would compare
as favorably with the schools of that
day as it does with the colleges of to-
day. when it is the peer of the best in
the land and l am greatly pleased to
hear of the efforts of her old friends to
lift her to still higher grounds of USE
fulness 1t is the wish Of one of her
boys in the day of small things. May
she live long and prosper.

BEA TING THE DICTATOR

The American Magazine for this
month contains summary of the die
tator Of the Senate which every voter
in Indiana should read. 1t explains
the power that Aldrich has, how he
got it, and how he uses it. 1t ex-
plains the System" which the great
financial interests use in defrauding
the people of true legislation. And
Aldrich is the chief agent-the die

law made him senate dictator He
came to the senate twenty-eight years

experience in a city council. a state
legislature. and the house of represent

the senate system and it's traditions
OF seniority would make him an influ-
entail figure now. The system of log
rolling buttressed by party regularity.

comes to legislation, a tariff bill. for
instance. this control gives them the

Advantages of Electric FRACTION.

Sir w. H. Preece says that one
great advantage of electric over
steam traction on railroads is that it
impresses a continuous and uniform
torQue, or turning, on the shaft. while
the action of the steam locomotive is
intermittent. ~The consequence is
that wheels driven by an electric mo.
tor get continuous bite" on the
rails, as steam-driven wheels do not.
BY means of this constant grip, Slip
ping on greasy rails is avoided. 1t is
also possible, with electric traction.
to apply the maximum torque at once.
and thus to bring railroad train up
to its greatest speed much more
quickly than is possible with steam
traction. This advantage is especial
ly valuable on city lines, where stop
pages are frequent and distances be-
tween stations short.

The sick mans surerings seemed
to increase, whereupon Ma'am Pike
ordered his feet soaked in water "as
nigh bilin' hot" as he could stand it.
While this was being done she took
tin box from her satchel. This box
contained a blue salve. Spreading
this salve thickly on strip of cloth
Ma am Pike wrapped it around the
patients neck, saying as she did so:

administered three more different
kinds of medicine and tried another

much exhausted to do more. than ut-

had been much aggravated by the

Ma'am Pike never forgave my un-

crops and bring all sorts of disasters
on his family. Her efforts were as
unsuccessful as her treatment of her
patients had been. and it was a good
