Therefore, instead Of introducing the

that CHEEKY fiction has now been
abandoned and Wall-st. steps TO the
front, handing out It's memorandum OF
things desired, II not demanded, by
"our uncrowned king" j. Pierpont
Morgan.
In truth, the memorandum for q
was prepared by Francis Lynde Stet.
son. particular private counsel for the
Morgan banking house. veteran In
the service. who has drafted many a
bill for many legislative body. to be
put through by the manifold ques-
tionable influences at the command OF
Special Privilege. MIR. Stetson was
the legal hand, and few bankers
and attorneys I'm the inher councils
OF the Morgan firm did the rest.
Aldrich himself was never more
tha ma legislative tool. He lends his
name and his knowledge OF political
finesse.
President Taft was consulted also
Sunday night, and gave his approval
to the present introduction OF the
plan.
So far as actual legislation Is con-
cerned. IL appears quite outside the
limits of any possibility that such n
bill as here proposed should have a
chance for passage In this congress.
The exposure Of the source of the bill
should itself do much to defeat II. In
addition. there are vigorous progress
sives In the senate, men like Senators
LaFollette. Beveridge. Bristow, Clapp
and Borah. who will fight the bill to
the moment of adjournment. The Ill
ness OF Senator Aldrich will also hand
leap the forces of Special Privilege.
II Is understood that these phases
were discussed by the president, Mr..
Morgan and Mr.. Aldrich. but the DOM
ineering old banker was insistent,
and as usual had his way.

Morgan Gives Plan
Strong Endorsement

NEW YORK, Jan. 90 Astatement
gan & Co., by Henry p. Dawson, ol
that firm, gives the Aldrich currency
reform plan the most enthusiastic In
dorsement II has received from any
notable Wall-st. source. The state
melt reads:
Senator Aldrich's plan Is admir-
ably effective and simple. In the
framing of the bill there may be
various details TO work out, but the
essential thing is that the proposal az
made Is well fitted to all conditions
and to all sections Of al .the 3 United
States. 1t possesses The sadvanfages
OF the great central banks % Europe
and eliminates all the disadvantages
especially those that would prove
burdensome in this country because OF
the peculiar conditions existing here.
This plan is certainly representa-
tive and most equitable. Each insti-
tuition in the United States would
have fair representation epassocia-
ton Is SO safeguarded as to be free
from control by any special interest
and the supervising officers will not
be subject to political influences.
Such a plan as Senator Aldrich
has outlined would give mobility TO
some thirteen or fourteen hundred
million dollars now LYNX idle In bank
vaults. The plan for assuming the
note issues of the national banks Is
one which cannot fail to appeal to all
national bank officers.
Il cannot help feeling that free and
honest discussion of the whole pro-
posal will afford a basis for the solu-
tion of our credit and currency prob
lems."

ways paid in advance and Is ready at

since last November he. has been
given no connection, and that the

half TO three minutes, and frequently,
he charges, that when client wished

Grip il with, US again. and with e.
an increase in the number Of deaths
from pneumonia.
DR.. Guy L. Kiefer, health oflcers
has issued a bulletin telling how to
avoid both diseases. The bulletin
says In part:
Pneumonia is q contagious dis
cease and Is caused by germ, but
every disease has an indirect cause
as well as direct one. The indirect
cause or causes lower our resistanco
and put US In such shape that we VIII
contract pneumonia when we are ex-
posed to 1t. The most important In
direct cause of pneumonia IL bad air.
Because bad air is the principal pre-
disposing or indirect cause Of pnou-
monia IL the reason why the disease
is 30 much more prevalent In the win
ter months. We shut ourselves up In
over-heated, unventilated rooms To-
keep warm. "A
The only condition OF the air that
most of us ask for in cold weather
Is that II be warm: generally speak

erick Treves, one of the leading phy-
siclans OF England. recently stated:
The idea that colds are caused
BY drafts is absurd. No cold ever
j. had such an origin. Colds are =
result, not OF drafts, but or stuf-
~ rooms.
Ralph ID. Small. in an address on
the subject, delivered before the
American Electro Chemical society In
October, 1910, sums up the matter
as follows:
II now seems to be an accepted
opinion that colds and kindred
diseases come from bad air.
chiefly because bad air disturbs
that part OF the nervous system
which regulates the blood circu-
lation, and local blood congestion
ensues, bringing with Il an inter-
( ference with certain bodily func-
tons which destroy the bacteria
constantly taken into the system.
Thus infection occurs, lowering
resistance to disease, and we start
with colds, which are frequently
the forerunners Of the tonstlitis,
bronchitis, pneumonia, and even
tuberculosis.
Another author has designated the
organic impurities in bad air -
crowd poison and this seems to be
on appropriate name. To prevent
pneuwmonia, we must, then, avoid
everything that may have a tendency
to lower our resistance TO disease, we
mustl i've right. Above all. let 10
avoid the particular ally of the pnen-
monia germ-crowd poison"
