SHOOK HIS FIST AT OSLER
Speaker Cannon, Past 70, Deiied
the Old Age Theory.

Washington, Msy.-Thst tubercu,

doctors, that 1t probably will take
two or three generations to reduce
It's ravsges to the rate at which
typhoid fever has been regulated aud
that the public u. ust be awakened to

In combating the disease, was the
substance OF an address by DR.. Viii.
liam Osler, she noted physician OIL

gland. before public meeting Of the
National Association OF the Study
and Prevention OF Tuberculosis
Other distinguished men who spoke
were James Bryce, British smbas
ssdor, and Speaker Cannon, both O
OF whom urged the keeping OF chill
dren In the open air as much as DOS
sible.
WHAT REMAINS TO BE DONE.
Three things remain to be done,
said DR.. Osler. The first Ia to keep
the public awake; the second to OBJ
tain more money and the third ia
arouse the interest OF more men and
women, because the campaign is nc
longer one entirely Tor the doctors.
whether tuberculosis will be final
ly eradicated," he declared, "is ever
an open question, but when we think
OF what has been done In one genera
tion, how the mortality in many
places has been reduced more thar
so per cent, indeed, In some places
100 per cent, 1t is q battle OF hope
With victory In sight"
Speaker Cannon aroused laughter

"Dr. Osler, 1 have reached the az,
OF 70 and shake my fist In YOU

DIR osLER ENJOYED 1T.
DR.. Osler laughed heartily at thil

KERENS ISN'T TO

That Is All.


Washington, May 15.-R. C. Ker,

Vienna Embassy.
IL is q hos one for Senator Warner
as well. Anxious to have the Kerens
cash out Of the coming senatorial
fight, Warner wanted to place Ker
ems satisfactorily q long way from
Missouri. Warner has wasted many
a trip to the White House In behalf
Of Kerens. In the beginning TAFT,
anxious to recognize the people who
tangibly contributed toward his
election, was inclined to appoint the
Missourisn.
The figures to Ksren's credit In the
campaign account looked big. Chair
man Frank Hitchcock, OF the Ma.
tional Committee, voiced the philos.
ophy that, having produced, Kerens
was entitled to a nice large one off
the plum tree. Colonel" Kerens'
religious connections helped him out
and filed a long and strong list OF
Endorsements at the White House.
The matter was carried 90 far that

eminent, and q favorable response
received. Because OF bis former and
none too pleasant relations with the
Kerens crowd In Missouri, Secretary
Nagel maintained q neutral attitude
throughout. Mr.. TAFT was unable
to get word for or against Kerens
out OF Nsgel, which, probably, did
not help Kerens much.
However, there were others out In
Missouri not bound by circumstance
to the neutral position. The Kereus
record, from the "Star Route" days
on was uniolded, with all the mall
cious and interesting details, to the
Chief Executive. That blunt person,
Colonel W. R Nelson, OF Kansas
City, registered some very emphatic
sentiments with Mr.. Taft. The upliit
crowd In general hammered Kerens.
A White House inquiry into the
motives OF the Kerens financial gen.
eroeity was made. The conclusion
was, Mr.. Kerens had spent q vast lot
Of money, the major portion OF the
$685. 900, to get the vote out-for
Kerens. Consequently the Taft
mace now falls upon the gray hairs
Of the st. Louis would.be diplomat.
The opinion Of the Missourians
here is that the outcome will ember.

Kerens has plenty Of money, some

trouble. Anyhow, Kerens would
