SPREADING LIGHT III KOREA
Campaign Against tuberculosis Is
Progressing Wei. According 70
Advices Received.

Tat The canfDas-n against trHoror
'osis is bearing fruit even in far Of
Korea Is evidenced by an Interesting
report just received from Dr. Edwin
N. Kent, a Methodist Episcopal medi.
cal missionary stationed at liatiu in
the northern part Of the Korean PENN
suia- Speaking Of the work of dis
pensary established several months
ago in connection with a little hos
pltal in Haiju, DR.. Kent says;
Since the dispensary opened it has
treated 500 patients. From the first
it has been noted for the fresh air
treatment of tuberculosis. The ad-
vice for tubercular patients, SO often
given, soon became known as the
"feggy," the native helpers learned
1t by heart and at the word from the
doctor turned loose on the unsuspect-
ing sufferer such a food of good ad-
vice as he doubtless never had heard
before. Such has become the hos
pitfalls reputation for fresh air advice
That not long since, man expressed
himself as only waiting for warm
weather before going TO the hospital,
for said he, the doctor will urge
me to keep the door open, and that is
very hard in winter Nevertheless,
Haiju has several converts to the fresh
air preaching"
Another interesting result of the
health campaign is noted in a series
q kS ha1 loo Dr
Kent says of them The subjects
ranged all the way from washing in
the springs to why the doctor did
not give cough medicine. One even
Ing the people were told they might
ask any questions they wished about
America and Americans A man i'm
medlately arose and asked: Why do
Americans abominate the Korean top
knot? Why do American women have
small waists? Why do American men
walk with their wives?' The man
was a school teacher and it is safe
to say that his boys had been asking
questions. However, it was a relief
when the next man asked something
so easy as a description of New York
city. But these health talks have not
been without results. The talk on
pure water supply bore fruit, at least
in so far as the spring in front of
the compound is concerned. Even
the water carriers have taken the mat
ter up and if they find woman do
ing the family washing in the spring
scold her so roundly that she is sell
dom found there again. The steady
din of Leave your doors open and
breathe pure air" has also borne fruit.
In many homes large holes were cut
In the paper doors in the midst of
winter, while many boosted that they
left the door open at night. Another
direct result of these lectures has
been the establishment of three
Korean milk merchants. Before the
talks began it was rare indeed to find
cows milk in a Korean house Now
that invaluable food is consumed in
nearly so homes"

DEMOCRATS GAIN
 POWER IN OHIO

Columbus, O., November 1.-The dem ocrats were swept into power in the three largest cities of Ohio today. Columo 1s' Cincinnati and Cleveland, returned deci- sive democratic pluralities.
 A feature of the election throughout the state was the large socialist vote, in Co., lumbus E. Bey, the socialist candidate Tor mayor according to early returns, was running a close race with Mayor Mar shall, the republican nominee for second place while George J. Karb, democrat. had been elected by from 4000 to 6,0oO plurality Tn Cincinatti Mayor Louis Schwab running for reelection with the republican endorsement was defeated by Henry T. Hunt, democrat, by probably 5000. In Cleveland, Newton D. Baker, democrat and political heir to the late Tom l.. Johnson was elected mayor by probably 10000, while practically the en- tire democratic ticket is elected with him.
 In Toledo, Brand Whitlock, independent has apparently been elected for fourth term by plurality in the neighborhood of 2,00O.
 The showing made by the socialist in Columbus, Canton, Akron, Newark, Lima, Barberton and Cuyahoga Falls in the ,wo last named of which they elected mayors, insures that party a showing in the az gregate vote which exceeds it's past high water strength by many thousands and within respectable distance of the old parties.

New Orleans, November 7.-Cotton fii- lures opened steady, unchanged to points up, compared with yesterdays close. Ca Dles were better than expected and stim- ulated buying around the first call. The market was dull, however, as the result of tIe nearest of the bureau report on ginning. The weather map was unfavor- able, as altogether too much rain was noted over the cotton belt. Temperatures were abnormally high, but 1t was the gen eral opinion that the grade of cotton still in the fields were being injured by mois- turc. At the end of the first half hour or business. prices were to 1 points over yesterdays close.
 The market was steady throughout the morning session, although no great amount of business was done and the average trader was unwilling to increase his commitments with the New York mar kct closed. Reports from the belt were not favorable. Private telegrams told or altogether too much rain and the general opinion was that the grade of the cotton was still to be lowered. Cablegram mes saees from European markets were more bearish than otherwise and expressed pes simlstic opinions regarding the Chinese situation. At noon prices were to s points over yesterdays close.
 In the afternoon session the market was dull but steady. At 2 o'clock prices were [ to points over yesterdays close.

SPREAD OF STRIKE
 EXPECTED SOON

Chicago, November 7.-Spread of the railroad shopmen's strike to the Cen tral of Georgia railroad and the call ing of a strike on the Rock Island lines are matters of only a few days, according to J. ". Kline. president Of the International Brotherhood of Black smiths and Helpers tocay.
 "I am going to Macon, Ga., tomor- row night for final efforts to adjust Central of Georgias matters said he but 1t is doubtful if the men can be kept from walking out until l get there.
 Matters on the Rock Island are near a crisis The votes of the various crafts on acceptance or rejection of the pro- posals of the company have been against the company's terms, and this actually amounts to a strike vote.
 Macon, Ga. November 7.-Presidene Michel of the local blacksmiths' union stated today that the central of Geor~ gia shopmen here had asked President Kline to come here to settle dispute between the shopmen and railway offi- cials over whether repairs shall be made on an engine brought to Macon from the Illinois Central shops. The rail- road company claim the engine was purchased outright and not brought here to be repaired for the Illinois Central.
