forward the ratchet is moved one
way and turns the gearing which in
turn operates the driving shaft and
makes the fan revolve. When the
chair rocks backward the ratchet is
turned in the opposite direction and
the whole movement is reversed.
Thus a steady current Of air is kept

ADMIT ONLY A
FEW DISEASES

New York. Oct. 22--An inI titu,!oa
which promises to play an lportant
part In the warfare OF science against
disease Is the hospital opened in. New
York this week as branch of The
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Ro.
search. The new hospital is unlike
any other in the world In cquiplnen,
purpose. scope and possibilities. Only
certain classes OF patients will be
admitted To the hopital at any given
period. enabling the physicians and
surgenos TO concentrate their entire
attention upon n few diseases. Fer
the present. only those suffering from
diseases OF disturbed metabolism. in-
fantile paralysis. pneumonia and
heart disease are admitted. The mum.
Der of applicants has exceeded the
capacity of the hospital. and many
will doubtless have TO be turned
away. No charge is asked or accept.
ed for treatment whether tlic patient
be pauper or millionaire. and
whole aim OF the physicians is to
cure the patients. There Will be no
experimenting. but the presence in
the hospital at one time OF a large
number of people all suffering frgn
the same ailments is expec.e e. e
for opportunity for investigation IN.
to the cause and cure OF disenso not
afforded by general hospitals.

Hon. Rankin Wiley. Democratic

nue.. tonight. arrived in the city this
morning from Athens, where he ad.
dressed the voters yesterday. Mr..
Wiley has just returned from Raleigh
county. At Beckley In conjunction
with ID. e. French and VIII Chiffon
he addressed an enthusiastic gather.
ing OF voters. He says that Mr..
French made an exceptionally strong
speech, and II is his firm conviction
that he will carry the county.
Regarding his own chances of cleo.
ton, Mr.. Wiley is. very confident. His
campaign so far leads him to the con.
clusion that there is a general up
rising among the voters against the
Hughes machine throughout the dis
trict. Evidence Of several of the
usual brands Of Republican treachery
however. in Mcdowell county, has
reached Mr.. Wlleys ears. He is reli
ably informed that in several instan
ces the registrars entered the pay
roll of the coal companies instead oi
making a legal registration. These
employees were not requested to make
any statement as 10 residence OF
thir qualification as voters. In view
OF all this crookedness, Mr.. Wiley
says he not only expects to get a good
vote, but to carry the district.
