Take Command of the Situation.
Albany, ~ Y. April supreme
Court Justice James A. O'Gorman of
New York probably will be the next
senator from New York, if the insur-
gent Democrats in the legislature will
accept him.
the organization candidate on the un-
expected arrival from New York of
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall
The insurgents resented the sud-
den injection of a candidate whose
name had not appeared on any of the
eligible" lists they had submitted
to the regulars; but not so strongly
as to cause a withdrawal of O'Gor-
mans candidacy.
On the ground that they were not
sufficiently familiar with O'Gorman's
record to act intelligently the insur-
gents brought about a postponement
of final caucus vote The organiZa-
ton leaders declare that Justice
O'Gorman will be elected.
Foremost among the reasons why
the Democrats were anxious to break
the deadlock is the proximity of April
and the assembling of the special
session of congress. The Legislators
fear popular criticism will follow a
failure to send a new senator to the
national capital in time to give New
York its full representation.
A second reason, which appealed
particularly to the regulars, was the
overtures the Republicans are making
| to the Democratic insurgents and the
threat of the latter that If the question
| Is not settled at once they will accept
Republican aid to elect an 'inde-
pendent Democrat" hostile to Tam
many Hall.

SHOULD HAVE ANTITOXIN READY
FOR OUTBREAKS OF DIPHTHERIA

Richmond, Va, Sept. 81, 1911.
(SpeciaD D-Local boards of health
and practicing physicians are warn
ed by the State Department of
Health to keep an amply supply of
antitoxin on hand, to be ready for
outbreaks of diphtheria which may
be expected during the month.
Within a month, say health Off
GERS, the annual outbreak of diph-
liberia in the state will be at its
maximum, and it's control will
largely depend upon the promp!noss
with which antitoxin is applied. If
this remedy be neglected, scores of
lives will be lost which might ether
wise be- saved and, in aGdi:i"r,
new centers of the disease will bc
established. Health officers point
out that only where the antitoxin
is available for use as soon as dag
nosis can be made, will it achieve
the best results in the treatment of
diphtheria.
The arrangements for the distri-
button of antitoxin are so complete
as we can make them in the absen-
ce of any State law providing for
the free distribution of this remedy,
said an officer of the Department

THE FIRST SOAP.
According to PIiny, 1t Was In Use
Amono the Gauls.

According to PIiny, II Was In Use
Among the Gauls.
Who invented soap? According to
Pliny, soap was an invention Of the
Gauls, who used 1t for giving a bright
hue to the hair. He also states that
It was employed by the Germans
both as a medicinal and as cleansing
agent, two kinds being used-hard and
soft. There is reason to believe that
it was introduced into Germany by the
Romans, though on this point there Is
some difference Of opinion.
Homer tells US in the odyssey" that
Nausicaa. daughter Of Alcinous. king
of the Phaeclans. and her attendants
washed clothes by treading upon
them with their feet in pits Of water,
so that apparently she and her serv'
ants were unacquainted with the use
of soap.
The fact that soap was obtainable
by boiling together oily or fatty sub
stances and alkalis was known Mt an
early period of history, but 1t must
be borne in mind that the substance
referred to in the Old Testament and
translated soap Jeremiah ii, %.
For though thou wash thee with
niter-properly, natrou-soda-and take
thee much SOAP" and Malachi iv, 2,
"For he Is like a refner's fire and
like fuller's soap'D refer to the alkali
itself and not to the substances pre-
pared from oily bodies and these alka-
line matters.
The French word for soap (savon)
is supposed to have been derived
from the fact of its having been manu-
factured at Savona. near Genoa.
The manufacture of soap began In
London in 1924, before which time 1t
was supplied by Bristol at q penny
per pound A duty was imposed on
soap In I'LL, but after several reduc-
tions was totally repealed In 1853

several descriptions Of the grewsome
ceremony.
The priests are dressed In white sack
cloth, similar to that worn by the
mourners at the funerals of the lay
men, and their brows are bound with
white bandages. The corpse, dressed
in a cowl and with the hands fixed In
an attitude Of prayer, is placed In a
sitting position in bamboo chair and
carried to the funeral pyre by some Of
his fellow monks, all the othe&monks
Of the monastery following In a dou-
BILE line. AS the procession advances
the walls of the monastery echo with
the chanting Of prayers and the tin
king of cymbals.
When the pyre Is reached the bearers
place the corpse upon it, and the fag-
OTIS are kindled by the head priest.
and while the flames are mounting the
others PROSTATE themselves In obei-
sance to the ashes Of their departed
brother. When the fire is burned out
the attendants collect the charred
bones and place them in a cinerary
urn, which Is often deposited in n
small shrine within the precincts Of
the monastery, to remain there until
the ninth day Of the ninth month.
when the ashes are sewed up in bag
of red cloth and thrown into a sort of
ossuary or monastery mausoleum.-
