When Did Reese Get on2

The campaign will begin to warm
up after the holidays. 1t may be safe
ly said that all the candidates for the
United States senate are now out and
the voter must take his choice be-
tween Taliaferro, Broward, LEngle,
Blount and Reese. Some of these can
didates are already in the field. As
congress is in session, Senator Talia-
ferro will not have much of an oppor.
tunity to make a canvass, but his
friends at home will look after his in
terests.-Inverness Chronicle.

ST. Lucie's Example

st. Lucie, a young but smart coun
ty, voted 100000 of road bonds by {
good, safe majority. and will have
highways equal to those laid in any
section of the state. st. Lucie is al
ready rated a rich county, we know
but she will be richer presently, when
she gets her good roads fairly in op-
Grafton. Any county that goes in for
these gains in population, gains in
business, gains in money. Show us a
county, or a city, for that matter, with
bum roads, and We will show you a
county or city, as the case may be,
that is making elegant progress back

Some ask: What good came OF last
years sale of Red Cross stamps?''
Haven't you noticed the avalanche Of
tuberculosis literature flooding the
mails? Most Of it goes into the trash
basket. to be sure, but it holds your
attention nevertheless, and the edu-
cational campaign conducted through
the newspapers of the whole country
has fulfilled its mission Of teaching
the nature, cause, prevention and cure
of the dreaded white plague.
In our own state the sale of stamps,
conducted by the Women's Clubs,
made possible the All Florida" cam
paign. Under the auspices of the
state board of health, Jacksonville
board of trade and Women's Clubs,
the services of the eminent scientist,
Prof. Routzahn. were secured and in
stitutes held in all the larger towns,
and much enthusiasm and interest
aroused.
1t also made possible the passing
in the legislature of the health bills,
and the state ownership of the tuber-
culosis sanitarium at Narcoosa.
But this is only a beginning. 1t must
be a shoulder to shoulder" work for
years to stamp out the plague of cen
turtles, but it can be done.
BY using Red Cross stamps every
one can take part in the great ma
tional tuberculosis campaign. Now
that so many of the states have their
own stamps, it is interesting to watch
for them on the Christmas letters and
packages, and we are just little dis
appointed when there are none. If
the use of the stamps becomes gener-
al the income will be amazing, and be-
sides the use OF the money by the
committees in charge, the very senti-

shows that the presence of alcohol in
the stomach, no matter how dilute,
diminishes the secretion and activity

SCIENCES EXPOSURE OF ALco

Poor old King Alcohol is facing a
revolution that threatens the very
foundations of his throne. Many a
teetotaler in years past has frankly
excepted the medicinal use of alcohol
from his ban, and has not hesitateI
to admit it to the family medicine
chest. But now the physicians and
scientists and psychologists tell us
that they are proving-not guessing or

feited all claims to any place on the
inside Of the human body. If this
is so, the real temperance war is
drawing TO a close. For science co.
erces many a man whom religion af-
fects but little; and a joint campaign
of science and religion against alco-
hol marks the beginning of the end
From time immemorial the world
has been cautioned against the i'm
moderate use of intoxicants. A pres
ent movement, however, based upon
careful scientific experiments, and in
stituted to discover the definite phys.
biological effects of alcohol merely, de-
clares that any use of it, even the
most moderate, as a remedy or a bev-
erage, is never beneficial
The men who for some years have
been pursuing this line of investiga-
ton are notably Schuyler and Dubois
of Bern, Switzerland, Kraepelin of the
University of Munich, Martin Mayer
of Heidelberg. HellStin of Helsingfors
and Aschaffenberg of Munich.
These men are working purely in
the interest of science, and are not
temperance reformers in the accept
ed sense.

FRENCH SILK INDUSTRIES
Coming to America, Forced to Do It by
Our Tariff Laws.

New York, April 15.-That combina-
ton of silk industries in southern France.
representing 100000 of capital, will
transfer their plans to this country was
stated by Jean Duplan, head of a large
silk dye works at Hazelton, Pa, today.
Mr.. Duplan, accompanied by D. A Gill
bert a French silk manufacturer who
has been investigating conditions in this
country, sailed for Havre on the steamer
La Provence today.
Mr.. Duplan said already cooperation
had been effected with one large silk dye
ing establishment in Paterson, N. j.. and
that one of the largest banking institu-
tons of France was acting as financial
hacker of the transfer. He said the prin-
cipal reason for the transfer was the tar
iff imposed, which has meant a very
great lessening OF the profits of the
French silk manufacturers. who find the
American market the largest buyers of
their products.

Eastern Yacht
Club to Shorten
Trip to Maine.

Marblehead, Mass, April 15.-Prepara-
tory to the international events later in
the season, the Eastern Yacht Club will
in July along the Maine coast AS many
of the members will leave their sender
boats in order to participate in the
cruise, and as the vanguard of the Ger
man yachting invasion is expected here
the latter part of July, the cruise will be
limited to one week, starting from Mar
blehead on July 10 with long stretch
across the Gulf of Maine to Portland and
Their easier runs to Bar Harbor, which
will be reached on July II. The idea upon
which the cruise of the Eastern Yacht
Club is planned this year is to give mem
bers more time to enjoy the picturesque
harbors between Portland and Bar Har-
Dor with sufficient incentive in the way
of races to whet the appetites of the
owners of fast boats.
After reaching Portland there will be
four race days. IN July II the fleet will
rendezvous in New Meadows river and on
Monday there will be race round Cape
Small Point to Pemaquid. The following
day there will be a race UP the West
e1oooSC ~ INoChldlll- lIltH VIII come a
day of pleasure sailing with another
rendezvous in the Fox Island thorough
fare and a race on July Is to Swans
Island
Another day Of leisure will follow,
enabling the yachts to explore the bays
and reaches of the eastern Penobscot
and Blue Hill bays with a gathering on
the night Of July Is at Bartletts Mar
rows, from which point the yachts will
race around Mount Desert to Bar Harbor.
The cruise will close with the customary
golf match for the 1andsmen at Kebo
Valley Club and the banquet in the even
ing at which the prizes will be awarded.
On the day before the starting of the
cruise the annual regatta will be held off
Marblehead ana 1T is planned to send the
yachts off early the following morning on
the long run to Portland.

Men at Bangor.

Bangor. Me. April 15-Johnny Hayes Of
New York. the Olympic Marathon win
ner, ran Is miles in the Auditorium to-
night against relay team composed of
Patrick Dineen of South Boston and John
H Neary of South Natick, seven and
half miles EACH winning by six laps, all
gained in the first half. Dineen ran the
first half of the race and while not in
the best condition. ran a consistent race
at unvarying gait and speed. Hayes,
running with perfectly measured stride
at once showed his superiority in speed
over the sN-day veteran, and at three
quarters of a mile Tapped him. After that
Hayes gained with great regularity, hav-
ing lead of six laps at the end of Di-
mems seven and a half miles
Neaiy, a much speedier man that Di-
neen, was expected to make up much if
not all of what Dineen had lost but to
the surprise of the crowd he was never
able to shake Hayes, who always had
speed to spare when called upon.
In the last half of the race it was a
constant seesaw between Hayes and
Neary, the men seldom being more than
three or four yards apart, and Hayes was
two yards in front at the tape, finishing
strong in 1914 1-2.

The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of tho Days Dealings in All
The Leading Stocks.

New York April 15.-There was quite
obvious distribution of stocks going on
today and the selling to realize profits
kept the tone of the market unsettled and
irregular and made considerable inroad
on prices in the general list. The selling
was conducted with caution and skill with
view to cause as little effect on prices
as possible and gave evidence in that re-
spect of the experienced management of
the speculative campaign. The bear con-
tingent made some efforts to push the
decline in prices and take the market
away from the sellers. The bear party
seemed to be timid about extending their
position, owing to the impression of the
power and capacity of the conductors of
he campaign and the fear that the let
ting down of prices was a maneuver to
| induce the bears to commit themselves
with the purpose of forcing them to cover
shorts at higher prices later.

of the Lakeside A. c. in ST. Jean hall
Wednesday night Jeff Doherty of New
Haven and Arthur Cote of Biddeford
fought u rounds to draw.
The men weighed in at 13S pounds and
gave the best exhibition of boxing ever
seen in Webster. In every round they
mixed it up and were on the go from the
start. Neither had any advantage.
Kid Rodman of Webster won from Ar
thur Carr of Biddeford in the first round
of what was to have been a six-round
bout. Carr went down for the count from
a right to the jaw.
Rodman was scheduled to box Noah
Perry of Boston. but the latter failed to
show up and Carr, who accompanied
Cote, was put on in his place in the
semi-final.
In the preliminary Kid Wright of Bos-
ton put Kid Wright of Worcester away
in the fourth round. The Worcester man
took lot of punishment. The other had
the advantage in every round.

one blow to Robinson's three. The
only blows of any effect given by Hur-
ley were into the kidneys.
The 1O-round bout between Charley

Benny Yanger of Chicago, which was
to have been fought at the Whirlwind

of Long Island City Saturday night
This VIII be the third meeting between
these two lightweights. and if the for
mer battles are equalled the members
will get plenty of action. Five good six
round bouts will precede the star at
traction.
Hugh d. Mcintosh says that if he
cannot induce Jeffries to fight John
son he will offer $4,000 for match
between Johnson and 'tSoma other good
white man." to be decided in Aus
tralia. Mcintosh does not think that
Ketchel would have a chance with the
Negro, which would seem to indicate
that he may select kaufman. In that
way il is believed johnson might be
induced to run out on Coffroth'S offer
of 100000 for q fight with ketchel,
especially in view of the fact that YER
bal agreements, in Johnson's opinion,
do not amount 10 much.
New York Sun 1t is gradually
dawning upon the sporting public that
Jefries will never enter the ring again.
Delaney, who is decidedly bitter in his
feelings toward the boiermaker, says
that Jeff, if he thought he had to fight
anybody again. would take to the
woods. Meanwhile it is said Jeffries
thinks that by stalling along without
declaring himself he can get another
20-weeks engagement when his pres

different opinion, however, and is
anxious to have Jeffres say that he will
fight once more.
johnson knows a whole lot about
fighting" said Tom O'Rourke after
seeing the pictures of the Burns john
son mill. "He has Dixon's old trick of
holding a mans arm in clinches down
fine BY this means it is impossible
for an opponent to do anything in the
way of hitting at close range. while to
the spectators it does not seem as if
there is any deliberate holding. John
son is so big and strong that he can
put up wonderful defence. He can
block or brush aside all sorts of blows
with perfect ease. and therefore is
difficult problem to solve. He lacks ag-
gressiveness, however, and is not a
heavy puncher. Burns was no match
for him at ALL"
