Drugs And Infantile Paralysis.

DR.. l.. b. Kebler. of the United
States Bureau of Chemistry, believes
that the prevalence of infantile pa
ralysis and much Of the infant NOR
tality are caused by the use of sooth-
ing syrups containing morphine and
other poisonous drugs. This is a
statement of a most serious character,
and thu matter should be carefully
investigated. When a mother Is
wearied out with fretting infant the
temptation to quiet II with a drug
which she Is assured by the label on
the bottle Is harmless Is almost ire
sistible. II Is also intimated by DR..
Kebler that nurses often give drugs
surreptitiously to the children In their
care In order to save the trouble Of
quietlng them. IL DR.. Kebler Is right
In what he says. a way to save life Is
presented to all local boards Of
health. There should be an investi-
cation TO ascertain just what drugs
OF the character indicated are sold
I'm the various communities. and the
sale OF those that are dangerous
should be prohibited. And then
mothers should be warned and in
structed what In use and what to
avoid.
That which Is more fatal to infants
even than drugs is feeding them with
milk or other food which has been
impaired by the hot weather. 1t is
likely that many OF the troubles for
which drugs are used arise from the
use OF food which has not been care
FULLY prepared OF has been soured or
contaminated.

Are We Old at Forty?

There is no fact n ore striking than
ne way modern life Is pushing back
the period Of old age, says a writer in
the September Strand Magazine. Less
than a century ago a man was old at
forty. You have only to pick up Jane
Austin's novels TO find gentlemen OF
thirty-hve described as middle-aged.
At sixty they are gabbling in their
dotage. And there Is Mr.. Pickwick-
that dear. delightful. benevolent old
gentleman of forty-fve!
Fifty years ago, when a man reach
ed the age OF forty-five ne grew a
beard under his chin, bought him
self a pair OF drab CATERS and a white
neckcloth. and spoke with anxious
concern OF the rising generation,
whose manners were so different
from those he had known as a young
man" Nowadays the popular notion
Of irresponsible. irrepresslble youth is
illustrated by Colonel Roosevelt, who
Is ffty-two. In our generation thirty
two Is outwardly indistinguishable
from fifty-two. save in that the former
has slightly more youthful tint in
its checks and its waistcoat.
As for the fair sex. the genus old
lady Is all but extinct. The pretty
vivacious matron you admire at a
garden-party may have seen twenty
ive or seventy summers. AS Queen
Alexandra not long since said to Nine.
Adelina Patti: I'VE two are two OF
the youngest women in England"
The illustrous Royal example has
been so sedulously followed that the
ladies--always young. always active,
always In the height of fashion

Sketch of Her Life.

Florence Nightingale was born ON
May IL, 1920. She was the first wo-
man to follow a modern army into
battle as a nurse, and in the Crimean
war gained the title of angel of the
Crimea." She studied nursing under
the Protestant Sisters cf Mercy at
Kaiserwerth, Germany, and returned
to England when the Crimean war
broke out. She organized a corps of
volunteer nurses whom she led into
the field and was especially celebrated
for her noble services at Scutari.
At the close of the war she was en-
ebled by a testimonial fund amount
ing to $250,000 to found an institu
ton for the training of nurses, the
Nightingale Home at st. Thomas hos
pital. She was also the means Of call
ing attention to the unsanitary condi-
tions Of camp hospitals. In 1908 she
received the freedom of the city of
London.
King Edward bestowed upon her
the Order of Merit, the most exclusive
distinction in the gift of the British
sovereign. The membership of the
order is limited to "a and it includes
such men as Lord Roberts, Lord
Woseley, Field Marshall Kitchener,
James Bryce, Prince Yamagata and
Admiral Togo.
There is strong feeling among the
general public and particularly among
the military men in favor of a pub
lie memorial for Florence Nighting-
ale. There is little doubt, however.
that her expressed wishes in this con-
nection will be taken into considera-
ton.

London, Aug. 14.-Fiorence Night
ingale, the famous nurse of the Grim
en- war and the only woman VIII,
ever received the Order of Merit.
died yesterday afternoon at her Lon
don home. Although she had been
an invalid for long time, rarely leay-
ing her room where she passed the
time in half recumbent position and
was under the constant care of a
physician, her death was somewhat
unexpected. A week ago she wa.
quite sick but then improved, and on
Friday was cheerful. During that
night alarming symptoms developed
ond she gradually sank until O'Clock
saturday afternoon when an attack
OF heart failure brought the end.
Her funeral will be as quiet as DOS
s1ble in accordance with her wishes.
during recent years, owing 10 her
feeoleness and advanced age, Miss
Nightingale had received but few
visitors. On May IL last she cele-
brated her Goth birthday and was the
recipient of a congratulatory message
from King George.

Committee on Organization Favors
Use of Certificates of Deposit In
stead of Pass Books Cor Postal
Banks.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Postmaster
General Hitchcock today received a
report from the committee on or
ganization of the postal savings bank
system in favor of the use of certi-
ficates of deposit instead of pass
books
Under the propo ,ed plan every de-
positor Of amount from 81 to SO will
be given a certificate punched in
duplicate to show the amount of the
deposit. He will be require to sign
this certificate in duplicate, the post
master retaining one. On the back
of this evidence Of deposit will be
engraved an interest computation
showing exactly the amount of inter-
est due at the end of any interest
period. For sums of $40, $40 and $50,
there will be separate certificates
also in duplicate These certificates
will constitute the records of the post
master.

Blease and Featherstone are both
hacking at Mcleod. which goes to
prove that the Lee county man has
them worried. All the information
obtainable indicates that the race is
between Featherstone and Mcleod
and that those who vote for either Of
the other candidates will throw away
their votes. The votes that Blease.
Richards and Hyatt receive will come
from their personal following. and
In the second primary. Mcleod stands
a better chance to receive a majority
OF the vote than does Featherstone. 1t
