An Advertising Speculatio I

Among the many incidents char

which recently came under the OBJ
seivation of a young man connected
with a prominent publishing house,
one OF the Oldest in the country, and
which has fer three generations
been conducted by the descendants
Of the original founder. With other
publications there was issued a neat

SENATE SURPRISED BY A
SPEECH ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

drink habit after he had arrived at the
age of manhood and after he had be-
come so addicted to the habit that we
nursed him like a child.
He consented to treatment by a
Christian Science healer and was
cured He has not taken drink for
seven years"
Turning then to the main part of his
argument, Senator Works declared
that Christian Science was not hostile
to medicine, but that the American
Medical Association had for twenty
years been seeking legislation that
would shut out the healing of diseases
by others than the regular school OF
medicine.
He said he had no criticism to make
of the legitimate work of the associa-
ton and that his arguments were o.
rected solely against it's political ac-
tlvities.
Touching on articles recently pub
lshed by Golfers magazine and re-
fiecting en- the League for Medical
Freedom, Senator Works filed mass
Of afIidavits which he said would
show that the articles in Golfers are
knowingly and maliciously false"
Senator Works protested strongly
against the domination of a depart
ment of public health by any single
school of medicine. He said that the
power of the head of the department
would be almost unlimited
Senator Owens interrupted to say
that his bill was drawn to prevent
any discrimination among different
schools of medicine.
81 do not believe that the bill does,
upon it's face, discriminate in favor of
any school of medicine" said Senator
Works, but that would be the effect,
whether it is the intention of the SEN
ator from Oklahoma or not"
The California senator charged the
American Medical Society with being
back of the effort to cripple Christian
Science all over the country. He de
clared it was taking one state at a
time and trying to cripple Christian
Science, and in the department OF
health bill proposed to do the whole
thing at once.
He charged that a certain Dr. Nc

FERTlLIzING ELEMENTS
IN CITY SEWAGE.


The question of conserving the fer
tilizing elements in city sewage will
soon be vital in our country. The sew
age of nearly all American cities is
plped into rivers or lakes and carried
out into the sea, where it is irretriev-
ably lost. Sewage is especially rich in
phosphorus, which is positively essen.
tial to animal and vegetable life. The
annual loss due to the present dispo-
sition of it in our cities is, according
% A. r. Whitson of the University of
Wisconsin, equal to two pounds of
Iphosphoric oxide an acre for the entire
crop area of the United States In
other words, we are wasting in this
hammer the equivalent of 100000 tons
of phosphoric rock; and as far as can
now be estimated, there remain to be
mined only 5S,O0O,OOO tons of high
grade phosphoric rock in the three
Southern States producing it. Fortu-
nately there are still large undevel
oped resources in the Far West. The
phosphorus of sewage can be saved
either by using sewage direct or by
extracting from it the fertility it con.
tains. Many may say this is impossi
| lie. The answer is that it has been
done for ages. The means used by
China, Japan and India to save the
/ source of fertility which we send out
To the sea may be crude, but they are
effective. The conservation of this ele
ment has been partly solved in France
and Italy. AS countries become dense
ly peopled necessity will compel them
carefully TO save and utilize every
source of fertility at their command
China and Japan have done this, and
II erein lies the secret of their success
IN supporting a dense population fol
many ages without impoverishing the
sUil.-New York Sun.

WASHINGTON, July Cone of the
most remarkable stories heard ON the
door of the Senate was told today by
vealed intimate details of his CONVEX
sion to Christian Science, its curing
of the ill-health of his wife, and how
through it his son was redeemed from
the life of drunkard.
Senator Works made these revela-
tons in the course Of his reply to
charges made at the League for Med
ical Freedom, which is opposing the
Owens bill for a department of public
health.
He said that he had been a sufferer
from a complication of diseases for a
number of years. He told how he had
suffered night and day, had lost thirty
pounds, was unable to do a days
work; how he felt that he soon woulC

believed that death was near at hand

He told of treatments by physician

and osteopathic, the latter being con

CHAMBER PLANNING
TO CHANGE ROOMS

Unless the present plans fall through
move from the third to the second floor
OF the Brentano Building. at Twelfth and
f streets. The house committee of the
Chamber, composed of E. c. Graham,
George Y. Worthington, and George F.
Schutt, has made the Brentano company
an offer for the second floor. which has
long been unused. 1t is understood the
deal is practically closed.
There has been a feeling in the Cham
Der for some time that rooms nearer
the street would be advantageous. On
meeting nights the elevator often Is
found inadequate, and members are re-
quired to climb or descend two flights
OF stairs from and to the street. The
move to the second floor would eliminate
one flight of stairs and meet with popu-
lar favor.
1t Is understood the house committee,
through Secretary Grant, has made the
Brentano company a good offer, includ-
ing an increase in rental and a yearly
lease on the rooms. The Chamber rents
its present quarters on a month-to-month
basis. If the deal goes through, the new
quarters will be handsomely fitted up.
and in all probability an open fireplace
will be one of the new features.
Another attractive feature for the new
quarters will be a tour OF Washington's s
public buildings, parks, and highways by
photograph. Secretary Grant and Ar
thur c. Moses have set their artistic
minds together and are laying plans to
turn the walls of the room into a verti
able picture gallery, containing large and
handsome views of Washington.
