Hopeful Sign.

That the war on tuberculosis pays
immediate dividends In human life
is proved by report of DR.. Bosley,
health commissioners of Baltimore. In
the monthly health bulletin for July
1t il shown that the number Of deaths
from tuberculosis occurring In the city
was 81, as compared with 123 for the
same month last year. DR.. Bosley says
that he attributes the decrease In the
number Of deaths to the educational
campaign that those interested In the
fight against the white plague" are
making. The interest Of the public
has been aroused" be declares, ''and
there Is general tendency on the
part Of the people to heed the warn
ings and to observe the Aygienic rules
being promulgated" In ten years. II
the present progress is kept up, DR..
Bosley believes that tuberculosis will
be stamped out

Discovered American Game

Il doubt ii any distinguished for

country for any length of time, ever
discovered under more interesting cir
cumstances the manner in which
American politics permeates all our
life than did Monsignor-now Cardinal
-Martinelli shortly after he had come
to this country as apostolic delegate, ="
once said the late John r. Van
Wormer, for many years prominently
known in New York city banking cir
cles
"Monsignor Martinelli," continued
Mr.. Van Wormer, came here just
about the time that the late Arch
bishop Corrigan of New York was very
anxious to obtain from the federal
government permission to build and
maintain upon the reservation at West
Point Il chapel consecrated to the use
of the cadets and others living at the
Point who were born and bred to the
faith OF the church of Rome. The
archbishop believed that the apostolic
delegate might be able to exert some
influence in this direction, and so it
was arranged that the monsignor, the
archbishop. one or two other church
dignltarles. former Postmaster Gen

should lay the matter before President

How Public Opinion Kept Arthur from
Saving Guiteau, the Assassin of
Garfield, from the Hang
mans Moose.

Do you ever doubt that the power
of public opinion is as great as it is
popularity supposed to be? Then let
me tell you a story of president of
the United States who, in a great
crisis, did not dare do what he be-
lieved was the right thing to do.
In the last days of his administra-
ton spent an evening with President
Arthur in the cabinet room. He had
said: Il want to go over some feat.
ures of my administration with you,
but, of course, what | say must not
be published in the form of an inter
view," and SO he talked of many
up:
Il think, after all, what will be best
remembered in this administration is
the elimination of factional feeling in
our party, and a general disposition
toward kindly sentiment on the part
of the people for those who have been
in administrative authority"
AS the president spoke I recalled
the base manner in which his name
and that of Garfeld's assassin had
been linked by Gen. Arthur's political
enemies, and so said: "Mr. Presi-
dent, the point you have made is H.
Illustrated in the now prevailing view
that Guiteau was an irresponsible as
sassin."
An expression that might have been
born of a painful recollection shot
across the presidents face for an In

Calvin Pratt of Brooklyn Did Not Be
Iieve Time Had Come When
Nominees Religious Faith
Would Be ignored.

Il have had good many very in

experiences in my political life," said
the late William r. Grace, once may
! or of New York city to me a few days
after the death, several years ago
Of Supreme Court Justice Calvin
Pratt of Brooklyn. but think that
my most dramatic experience was
that centering about Justice Pratt's
refusal to seek the Democratic presi-
Dental nomination in 1880 1t Is a
story that has never been published
and it gives you. too, an interesting
inside glimpse of national politics.
When it became clear to the Dem
ocratic leaders assembled in st. Louis
for the convention that Gov Tilden
would not accept second nomination
for the presidency. they began casting
about for candidate who would be
able to carry the state of New York.
There were many consultations-som
OF them being held in my room-and
at last it was suggested that New
York unite in presenting the name
of Justice Pratt as its candidate for
the nomination.
The more Justice Pratt was dis
cussed the greater seemed his
strength. He had splendid record
as a judge, Invariably being elected
by the voters regardless of party af-
flllations, and there was no soldier
with better record than his. He had
been in the civil war as an officer in
New York regiment. He had been
absolutely without fear His men had
idolized him. He had been desperate
iy wounded in battle. and, even at the
time of the convention. carried the
bullet where it had lodged between
the nose and the bone under the eye.
Altogether, he seemed most accent.
able candidate. and We of New York
felt sure that he could carry the state
and be elected president.
But just when it seemed that all
were ready to unite in presenting
Justice Pratt's candidacy to the con-
vent1on, some one suggested: But the
justice is a Catholic. and am a lit
tie afraid that in some parts of the
country the great body of Protestant
voters would refuse to support him
because of his religious beliefs
Well | said, Justice Pratt is
here. Suppose we go to his room and
see what he has to say about it,

him in bed, for it was quite late at

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders

The wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty of
every person that is i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
AS an illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought around
to health again by leaving off coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began U.s.
ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She
says:
For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble
which kept getting worse unutil | was
very i'll most of the time. About four
years ago l left off coffee and began
taking Postum My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but | was
so reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me.
Then I changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. | lived on these two prin-
cipally for about four months. Day
by day ! gained in flesh and strength
until now the nervous trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and l feel that l
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is Is years old and he was
troubled for a long time with occa-
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
l prevailed upon him to leave off coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for long time, but after he tried
Postum for a few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.

has been using Postum for several
years; his whole family use it also be-
cause they have had such good results
