New York City.-That the people
Of this country are annually throwing
away a sum of money that represents
50 per cent more than it costs to op-
crate the government cold figures
81, 500, 100000 - it is statistically
shown in Professor Irving Fishers

on National Validity"
Professor Fisher is a member of
the faculty Of Yale university, and a

is also a member Of the committee

In the connection of national waste
in lives, Professor Fisher shows that
there are three million persons need

States; and that. this. condition might
sWell be prevented by strict attention
TO even the simplest hygienicg meas

persons annually i'll, and that it is
entirely possible that this scourge be

NEW SOUTHERN HEADQUARTERS.
Railway May Move It's OFFICES t,
Atlanta.

Washington, D. C.-The directors OF
the Southern Railway company have
made an appropriation for the pur-
pose Of renting building in this city.
to be occupied by some Of the execu-
tive officers and the entire auditing
department. The general Office build
ing of the Southern is one of the larg-
est structures In Washington, but it
only accommodates one-half Of the
general Office force, and new quarters
are made necessary.
The fact that the directors decided
to rent a. building instead of pur-
chasing ground and erecting their
own structure is regarded here as con-
firmatory evidence Of the report that
the Southern intends, in the not very
distant future, to move the general OF
fees of the company to some point on
the central portion of the road.
Officials Of the Southern here who
have heard this report say that, after
the road has been double-tracked
throughout, and the extensive i'm.
provements which were started about
four years ago have been made, the
headquarters will be moved from
Washington.
While number of southern cities
are suggested for the general head
quarters of the Southern, Atlanta. is
most generally discussed in this con.
nection.

the Navy Department late last night,
the auxiliary cruiser Prairie carrying
10 marines. equipment and large
complement of officers bound for Mic

ware trying for a second time to carry
the heavy-load Of Uncle Sans fight
ing men past the shoals of the lower
bay, where she stuck fast in the mud
two weeks ago.
The vessels destination is Colon,
Panama. where the marines will be
landed to join those who are prepar-
ing for the campaign upon President
Zelaya. Of Nicaragua.
With extreme caution was the Prairie
guided past the Pea Patch Island flats,
off Delaware City, where she grounded

sad. indeed, had this mishap been re-
peated.
Captain Marshall was on the bridge
instead Of Lubl1er. the pilot who
was IN charge of the cruiser when she
polIed her nose into the mud. BY him
stood Captain Frank Kellogg, COM
mander of the ship, and both kept a
keen lookout.
