BONES ARE BRITTLE.
Arm Is Broken When She Turns Over
in Bed.

St. Louis, Mo, May 11.-Mrs. c. w.
Norris of Chester, ILL.,. is being treated
at a local hospital for an unusual af-
Fiction which has made her bones so
brittle they break under the slightest
pressure.
Her right arm was broken when she
turned in bed two days ago. She al
ready has suffered fractures of her
left arm and hip and she now is in
such a condition that she fears to
move unassisted.
When the nurses turn her in bed,
they handle her with the greatest
care. lest other bones be broken by
the 1ightest movement.
The brittleness of the bones is
known to medical men as decalcifi-
cation In the case of Mrs. Norris,
the rehabilitation was caused by
carcinoma of supra-renal capsule. ac-
cording to her attending physician.
The supra-renal capsules are small
glands attached to the upper extrem-
ity of each kidney. The carcinoma,
which is a malignant tumor, has fas-
tened itself to one of these glands. and
is causing the substance of the bones
to deteriOrate.

MUD GUARD FOR SHOES.


Besides the, coal and dock
strikes and the militant sufra-
gettes, the good people of Eng
land appear to be suffering from
too much mud in their roads-at
least a recent issue of the British
excuse for a patent office gazette
would give such indication, as
there are numerous devices. pic
tured in it for avoiding mud.
One of the most unique is a
mud guard for shoes. This guard
only protects the heel of the
shoe, but it is said to afford the
most ample protection to the
heel. 1t is a properly SNAPPED piece
of leather or rubberized fabric
permanently attached to the shoe
between the heel and the upper.
1t is so made that it juts out
from the heel and keeps the mud
from being plastered on the shoe.
In fine leather the guard may be
turned up, and it is provided with
a snap like a glove fastener to
hold it in place when not in use.
"You are run down, my dear
sir" diagnosed a physician. ''You
want sea voyage. What is your
profession"

CHyRPING ys. UNGLING

From the Millinery Trade Review.
 A flock of starlings has again descended upon a New Jersey town. lighting on trees in it's residential section, and by their constant chirping keeping its inhabitants awake nights. About the same time last year similar visit by the birds was made and the peace of the community was disturbed. It will be remembered that an official of the town endeavored to rid the community of the birds by the use of a few bird shot but there arose such a hue and cry from Audubons all over the country, even from those 1000 miles from the Jersey town. who no doubt never heard the chatter of so many birds, that the official desisted and allowed the birds to remain, to the disgust of the dis turbed inhabitants This year one of the disturbed rigged an electric bell in the trees which keeps jinglng all night, so as to frighten the birds away, but the rest Of the community would rather have the chatter of the birds than the jingling of the bells, as they are constantly getting up to answer phone calls. If some Of these objecting Audubons were forced to live iri this Jersey community and have their sleep disturbed these hot nights, they would no doubt wish the starlngs 4were on some women's hats instead of in the trees disturbing their slumbers.

Four French horns are needed and unless the horn players are first rate, symphony music would fare badly. An organization to pc worthy of the name of symphony should have not less than g or 10 players-al competent. A concert orchestra was maintained in Atlanta for two or three seasons. but it was far from first class. The French horns were especially poor. I heard one of our best string players say that he would join a Birminghaiii orchestra provided the word symphohs would not be used. That word, he saio' was too pretentious for anything put high-class orchestra of between 40 and eo performers.

No Quorum in Washington

Congress could not adjourn Satur- day because of a hold-up by four states that wanted some ancient claims held by spectators paid. The claims of Maryland and Virginia ex- tend back to 1790 The claims of Texas and Oregon relate to Mexican marauders and Indian wars. All are of doubtful value and they total up to $600,000. The House refused to listen to the hold-up that Senator Chamberlain of Oregon was conduct ing. -
 Washington has been full of sur prises. The air in that vicinity is hot and surcharged with stocks of all sorts. One of these came in the form of a veto from the overworked veto pen of President Taft. He vetoed the Coosa river dam bill, and the Ala bama Power company cannot at pres ent proceed to build a dam across the Coosa at lock 13.
 The President claims that the vetoed bill did not provide an equiva- lent sum for the privilege granted that is to say, in the long run. The President gets around the point that the water belongs to the state by pro viding that every dollar received in such case shall be expended in the improvement of the river involved. Here, however, is difficult question which the supreme court of the Uni ted States has not exactly passed upon.
 Between vetoes and deadlocks, Washington has occupied the center of the stage, but Congress has ad- journed at last. So far as the Coosa dam bill is concerned, it will go over to the short session, or possibly to the Sixty-third Congress.

Railroad Ships and the Canal

The Panama canal bill is a law. Its various provisions are dwarfed by the one which shuts out of the canal all railroad-owned or trust-owned ships. Even provision for the free passage of ships engaged in the coastwise trade is overshadowed by the one re- lating to railroad ownership.
 Today the railroads control the reg ularly established lines of boats on the Great Lakes. They control the boats plying between New York city and New England points on the one hand and the southern ports on the other. The ships engaged in the coastwise trade on the Pacific coast are in railroad hands.
 It is plain therefore that nothing but prohibition can prevent the rail- roads from maintaining rates and controlling traffic between one coast  and the other. The new bill, which is now law, is broad and ample in that respect, and there will be no throttling of transportation through the canal to meet the rates of the land carriers. It is a great and en- during victory, and Congress is en- titled to no little credit for passing it. The interstate commerce commits sion is charged with the execution of the provision regarding railroad owned and trust-owned ships, and the commission cannot be deceived or misled. It is a commission that has won the confidence of the people.

er without a bill the goods presented

 fer without bill the goods presented thereby.
 The railroads do not love the Pomerene bill, for it practically makes them responsible for any bills issued by them. This is the intent and pur- pose of the act. The act requires that the words "order of" shall be printed on the bill immediately before the name of the person to whom the goods are deliverable. The Bankers association has indorsed the Pomerene bill, and so has the American Bar as- sociation. It is long step in the right direction.
 But the bill is not yet a law. It goes to the House. Heretofore such bills have been pigeonholed in the Senate, but the Senate has reformed, and the passage by it of the Pomerene bill is an assurance that the bill of lading problem will at last be set tied right.
