A homily from the Amorita Herald 4:
THE shrewd business man has no use
for the slangy, sporting. drinking and
gambling young buck who prides
himself on knowing a thing or two
and who turns night into day The
young man whom the merchant, bank
er and others have room for is sober,
honest, self-respecting, industrious and
obiiging. One man, unless he makes
radical change in his habits, de-
generates into a blear-eyed street cor
ner loafer, but the other strikes twelve
every time and has the confidence and
esteem Of his fellows"

MAN SUFFERING FROM
CHAMBERS RECEIVERS

Chambers, a disease which afficits
horses, is, in rare cases, con-
tracted by human beings. In The
Journal of the American Medical
Association for May Is, DR..
Walter c. Cramp, of New York.
reports n case of chronic CHAMBERS
which recovered after FIVE months
treatment width .glander vaccine.
The rarity of these cases will he
seen from the fact that there are
only l60 previous case rec, rded in
medical literature. The patient
in this case was Polish cement
worker who, unlike the majority of
pltielts suffer- from this disese,
had not been in any way associated
with the care, or handling of
horses. When the patient was
admitted to Bellevue Hospital,
New York, he had Assesses on
both forearms, on the right calf
and on the left thigh. A guinea
pig inoculated with the pus drawn
from these Assesses developed
ganders. Injections Of gland
vaccine prepared by the New York
Board Of Health were made at
intervals from January 20 to June
81, with the result that the
patient recovered completely. no
evidence Of disease being found
eighteen months after his first
treatment. DR.. Cramp urged
physicians to be constantly on the
lookout for this disease, as it may
be easily overlooked, and says that
multiple Assesses, especially on the
limbs, should always excite
suspicion. The mortality in
CHAMBERS is extremely high, death
resulting in ninety-four per cent,
of all cases reported. The re-
covery of this patient. following
the use of CHAMBERS vaccine, is
therefore of particular interest.

ARAB MOUNTS FOR CAVALRY

Il it's anxiety to develop better
cavalry mounts for the army the
war department is considering
giving trial to Arabs. General
Leonard Wood, chief of the
general staff. is negotiating with
Spencer Borden of Fall River,
Mass, a breeder of Arabs.
At the present time the Ameri-
can cavalry is far behind the
cavalry of the European armies in
the matter of mounts. England,
Germany and France have long
paid close attention to the breed
ing Of cavalry horses, and
especially mounts for officers with
the result thnt their horses have
reached practically projection for
the work asked OF them.
When the order came for the
troops to go to the Texas border
General Wood had to go into the
market and purchase at high prices
horses for many of the officers
ordered to the maneuvers. The
horse dealers of Virginia and Mary
land reaped harvest las result.
in one Virginia town $1,000 worth
of hunters were sold at prices
ranging from $500 to $4,000 each.
The army stud farm already has
a good start with a couple of rae
ing stations presented to the gov
eminent by August Belmont but
General Wood is anxious to see if
an intermingling of the American
thoroughbred with the Arab NAV
not produce a good standard
cavalry horse.
The ideal of the American army.
officers is the type of cavalry
horses used by English officers.
This type IS close to the thorough
bred English hunter which has no
exact parallel in tt is country. 1t
is bigger stronger horse than
the racing type and much harder
in every way.
To supply the army with such
horses by purchase would mean an
enormous OUTLAY. The animals
would have to be purchased from
the country at a minimum price of
about 5000.

IMPOsING ON MsONs

Yesterday L. F. Shaw. who
claims to be Mason. started in to
work the members of that Order
IN town. He told a hard luck
story which seldom failed to bring
q piece Of coin. Grand Master
Doughty was one of his victims,
but becoming suspicious, Mr..
Doughty questioned the man and
found that he was not what he
claimed to be. Shaw claimed to
be a member of a certain lodge in
Texas. but his name was not found
in its list of members. When con-
fronted with the lodge record. he
then claimed that he had been
dropped from membership for
non-payment of dues. Believing
the man was a fraud, Mr.. Doughty
turned him over to Constable
Ouderkirk who took him to Jail
and placed a vagrancy charge
against him.
This forenoon Shaw plead not
guilty before Judge Klatte and de-
manded jury trial. The vagrancy
charge will be dismissed and he
will be tried under the law passed
by the last legislature, making it
a misdemenaor for a person to
wear the emblems of any fraternal
Order of which he is not a
member.
If Shaw is convicted by the jury
the Independent hopes that he will
be severely punished. The country
is full of frauds working the
fraternal Order and when one is
caught he should be made to feel
that the way of the trasgressor i,
hard. Such people deserve no
mercy.
