What Sickness Costs.

According to Professor jeremiah VI
Ienks, of Cornell University, New YorI
the cost of sickness to the United State
may be conservatively estimated !;
81. 600, ooo, 900 annually In this is ii
cluded only such sickness as incapac
+ itates people from working and require
medical attention Minor ailments nj
requiring physicians services woul
add $3.50 900, 900 more. Professor Ieni
gets at it by figuring tie loss throug
sickness on the average by every men
Der of the population to be I3 day
every year, and asserts that by pIopt
care probably nine tenths of this los
could have been saved.
To prevent this sickness waste wouls
of course, require sanitary housing,
proper exercise and the abolition of va,
ious excesses and abuses. The conten
plation of colossal figures suggest
none the less, that il is worth while i
try to do something to put the docio
out of business 1t might be far mo-.
satisfactory, and much more economical
to introduce the system that is creditt
to the Chinese--for the patients to p<
their physician for the time that the
are well To put every graduate in me,
icne on a liberal pension would be
paying investment, even II only half
the 1850, 600, 900 Of the sick cost cou
be saved

DIR. Harrison Wagner Heard From

A signed draft accompanied by what
purportS to be a record of Judgment
against Mr. William c. Birely, in favor OF
Harrison Wagner, for SI7 900 with inter
est from October, 1908, rendered by the
Circuit Court of Dickinson county. Vir-
ginia has been received by one of the
city banks for payment. Upon being
notified of the draft Mr. Birely on March
Ia enjoined the bank by an order of the
court signed by Chief Judge Hammond
until further action is taken.
The draft was drawn up by an Aexan-
dria, Va, bank and came to Frederick
through the Drovers' and Mechanics
Bank of Baltimore The judgment pur-
ports to be under the hand and seal OF
Emory B. Chase, Clerk OF the Dickerson
County Court. and is alleged to have been
rendered by Judge Henry A. w. Skeen,
of the Twenty-fourth Judicial Circuit OF
Virginia. The claim is based upon an
affidavit purporting to have been made by
John Wilson,, reciting that Wilson
served summons upon Mr.. Birely in
September. 1908. The papers accom-
panyng the draft were enclosed in large
envelope addressed to Harrison Wagner
While the judgment proceedings are
thought to be clever piece of forgery,
the claim Of action, Mr.. Birely says, is
false and fraudulent. Contrary to his
usual custom, Wagner, in this case,
claimed that in the settlement of the estate
of his brother, the late DIR. William H
Wagner. Mr. Birely, the executor, with
held $2, 900 and also violated the terms o
a contract involving $4,000. The estate
was settled up in 1878 and Wagner claims
that with interest the amount now due
him aggregates total of SIS4o3.47.
Wagner is native of Woodsboro anC
became known as "the worlds creates
litigant"
About a year ago Wagner was triec
and convicted in Washington on charg,
of perjury and sent to sanatorium. A
that time he had trunks filled with fraud
ulent document of his own manufacture
The news of his incarceration was re
ceived with relief in this city, and it wa
thought that his proceedings were a
an end until the draft came two days age
against Mr.. Birely
Several times attorneys for Wagne
from Baltimore came to Frederick to lool
up alleged claims.
DR. Harrison Wagner, the famous pro
fessional litigant, was arrested and placec
in sanatorium by Justice Gould of tn,
United States Court in the District o
Columbia as a result of his latest suit. H,
was arrested on complaint from thi
city.

THE NEWSPAPER.

OF all men the newspaper men who are
to select from the worlds doings and the
community's doingS that with which the
public is to be made familiar, needs to be
wise and judicious, and to lay aside his
dislikes and clear himself of all malice.
If the newspaper which you take is to de-
eide what information concerning the
doings, good and bad, in the world and
in the community you and your family
are TO be made familiar with, have you
not also duty as to the kind of news
paper you take-whether it be one that
parades and patronizes vice and crime,
and sneers at goodness and decency, or
one that does the reverse of this? Does
it make difference whether you admit,
daily or weekly. to your household, a
paper which has regard for truthfulneSS
and fairness, or one which will lie and
SANDER at any time to suit its purpose?
To the newspapers are committed great
responsibilities and of it there mus be
corresponding demand. The RESPONSE
bility of the paper, of those who make it
and give it its character is great and this
responsibility ought to be exercised under
the power and guidance of noble prin-
ciple. But the paper and they who make
it have not the only responsibility They
who select the paper which they will take
and patronize have responsibility for
their selection. He who supports paper
in anyway is responsible in measure for
the character OF that paper. This COM
munity is responsible for the kind Of
papers which it encourages and supports;
and especially is there a responsibility as
to the character of the paper admitted TO
to the home-a responsibility for admit
ting it. There is no place where man
should more carefully and firmly exer-
else his moral and christian principle than
in the selection of his paper.

HAPPY BACHELOR.
The bachelor is feeling
And deems himself lucky wight;
He saws and splits no kindling wood,
He has no kitchen fire to light.
When day is done his cares are DER
And once in bed he takes his ease;
He need not rise to walk the floor
This chilly night, child to please.
For him there are no household cares.
The breakfast bell his slumber breaks.
He dresses and descends the stairs
10 oatmeal, mush and buckwheat
cakes.
For him life's river smoothly runs.
He's happy, jolly and content,
He has no wife and little ones
On whom his earnings must be spent
Let him enjoy 1t while he can.
When age and loneliness shall come
He'll wish he were married man
With sons and daughters, wife and
home.
II there is ever a time when silence is
golden, it is when man is mad

There is evil enough in man. God
knows; but it is not the mission of every
young man and woman to detail and re-
port it all. Keep the atmosphere as pure
as possible, and fragrant with gentleness
and charity.
Earn your own bread and see how
sweet it will be. Work and see how we'll
you will be. Work and see how cheerful
you will be. Work and see how indepen-
dent you will be. Work and see how
happy your family will be- Work and see
how religious you will be.
X X X
The religious man who goes about with
long face and his lip hanging down over
his chin has mistaken a case of dyspepsia
for change of heart. The true christian
has a ready-made smile always on tap and
is glad in heart all the day long, from Ian.
I, till the general judgment.
X X
Heavens best gift is a hopeful heart,
which rises superior to every adverse
element and stems every opposing tide.
One such spirit in family is a blessing
beyond estimate and if a whole family
would give out all the sunshine it could
generate by continually striving to out
shine every other member there would be
few cloudy days in the year

Too little attention is paid to the small
courtesies Of the home Fathers, mothers,
grandparents and children should remem-
Der that happiness is derived from the
little kindly acts and words of each mem
Der of family. One alone cannot make
a cheerful home if the rest make no
effort.

Dear Sir:-Your letter of the Ist in

carefully with our officers and it is recoe-
nized that additional facilities at Frederick
are needed and ought to be provided
1t is our present intention TO start work
in that connection in the near future. 1t
is possible, however, because of the very
great Importance of starting other work
also under consideration, that we will not
be able to actually begin the new work at
Frederick before the first of July, although
we hope to have it started before that
date.
Yours very truly,

HOME HAPPINESS.

1t makes little difference in home hap
piness whether you own your house. or
have one little room on the sixth floor OF
an apartment house.
You can make that one little room the
perfection of all that is worth living for, a
quiet harbor to which husband will turn,
feeling that he has run out OF the storm OF
his days work into the security of some
thing that is real.
We are not all born with the sunshine
in our hearts, as the Irish people prettily
term it, but we can all coax some of it in
there if we only try.
The faculty of seeing the bright side or,
at least the edges of that side, is one that
married people might cultivate with profit
to each other.
Courtesy is of more value in the home
than many believe it to be- 1t is easier to
love a person than it is to be always
courteous to him. and yet it is one of the
most valuable recipes for keeping that
love fresh within our hearts.
Smiles should be part of ourselves
every day of the week. Do you know we
esteem those persons our best friends who
greet us with smile and kind word.
A community composed of individuals
who look always on the bright side oI
everything would, in our opinion, be an
ideal communitv. What we need in this
life is sunshine, and great deal Of it.
Take the trouble to get well acquainted
with your children, and to interest your
self in their pastime, etc. BY this mean:
they will learn to trust and coniide in you
and are not easily led away by outside in
fuence

work on the river would be for the
benefit of the entire city, it was
proper that any expense incurred on
account of it should be borne by the
city, and it was recommended that
the city council appropriate $500 a.
requested. The matter will be pre-
