them. Being compelled to stand for
a long period weakened my kidneys
and severe spells of backache resulted.

WHY CADETS WEAR GRAY.
Origin of the Uniforms Used at West
Point and Annapolis.

cIid FNiiudPStSs
While stationed at Buffalo in the
summer of 1914 General Scott wrote to
the quartermaster for supply of new
clothing for the regulars. Word soon
came back that blue cloth such as was
used in the army could not be obtain
ed owing to the stringency of the
blockade and the embargo and the lack
of manufactures in the country, but
there was a sufficient quantity of gray
cloth (now known as 'cadet gray'0 in
Philadelphia. Scott ordered it to be
made up for his soldiers, and in these
new gray suits they marched down the
Niagara river, on the Canadian side.
in the direction of Chippewa.
1t was just before the battle known
by that name, which occurred early in
July. General Riall. the British COM
mander, looked upon them with con-
tempt when preparing for battle on the
morning of the 9TH. for the Marquis of
Tweeddale, who. with the British ad-
vance. had skirmished with them all
the day before. had reported that they
were only Buffalo militia" and ac-
counted for their fighting so well and
driving him to his intrenchments north
Of the Chippewa river by the fact that
it was the anniversary Of American
independence that stimulated them.
On account of the victory won at
Chippewa on that day. chiefly by these
soldiers in gray. and in honor of Scott
and the troops that style of cloth was
adopted at the Military academy at

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
A Brief History of the Disease.
By DR. MONTGOMERY E.
LEARY.

by DIX Nun lGOM MEf6I e.
LEARY.
Consumption is called a disease
Of the masses because of its
great prevalence among all class
es of people. The first records
of it date back to the fifth cen
tury before Christ, or about
$500 years ago.
In 1865 Villimin, French ply
sician, demonstrated beyond
doubt that tuberculosis could be
transmitted from one individual
to another This was verified
by other famous physicians, un-
til the disease was generally
branded as infectious. In 1882
the specific germ which causes
consumption was discovered by
the great German scientist Rob
ert Koch.
Researches in recent years
have demonstrated that con-
sumption. also many other forms
of tuberculosis, may not only be
prevented. but can in many
cases be arrested and lastingly
cured Governments have taken
measures to suppress the scourge.
but their efforts have not been
wholly successful owing TO the
lassitude and carelessness of the
people.

THE FIRST GRAY
HAIR SIGN OF AGE
q
Easy Way to Preserve Natural
Color of the Hair and
Make 1t Grow.

A harmless remedy, made from com
mon garden sage, quickly restores gray
hair to natural color. The care of the
hair, TO prevent It from losing its color
and lustre, is just MS important as to
care for teeth TO keep them from dis
c~oloring. Why spend money for cos
metics and creams TO improve the com
plexion, and yet neglect your hair, when
gray hair is even more conspicuous and
suggestive of age than wrinkles or a
poor complexion? OF the two, It is
easier to preserve the natural color and
beauty of the hair than 1t is to have n
good complexion.
All that Is necessary is the occasional
use of Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Hair
Remedy, Il preparation of common gar
den Sage and Sulphur, combined with
other valuable remedies for dry. harsh.
faded hair, dandruff, itching scalp and
falling hair. After a few applications of
this simple, harmless remedy, your hair
will gradually be restored to its natural
color, in a short time the dandruff will
be removed, and your hair will no longer
come out, but will start to grow as
Nature intended it should.
Don't neglect your hair, for 1t goes
further than anything else to make or
mar your good looks. You can buy this
remedy at any drug store for fifty cents
q bottle, and your druggist will give your
money back il you are not satisfied after
using. Purchase a bottle today. You
will never regret it when you realize the
difference it will make in your appear

SUBURBS GROWING FASTER
THAN CITIES IN AMERICA

Though generally speaking. the suburbs
of American cities are smaller than those
of European cities, the former have shown
a remarkable growth within the past few
years. In fact. the suburbs of the great
American cities are growing far faster
than the cities themselves. and they now
contain. according to a report sent out
from Washington, nearly one-third as
many people as the central communities
around which they cluster.
The combined statistics for twenty-five
metropolitan districts give an idea of
the Importance of the suburbs of the
leading cities. The aggregate population
of these metropolitan districts in 1910 was
%, 0SS. SSl, of which II, 099,9 04 represents the
population in the central cities and 4.9SS,-
427 that of the suburban areas. Since
1910 the population of the metropolitan
districts lying outside of the central cities
has increased 43 per cent. as against an
increase of 1872 per cent. for the central
cities for the same period. Thus the
cities of the country will take n different
rank when their suburbs are taken into
account.

The case of Captain Samuel Brown, of
the Sixth precinct, who charged Station
master William Bouttillitte with assault
and battery, was today sent to the grand
jury. The case is the outcome of a test
that was started on April 20.
Captain Brown boarded a Bergen street
line car. He showed his badge and re.
fused to pay fare. When the car reached
the car house the station-master put the
captain off. The former was placed under
arrest and taken to the Fourth Precinct
police station, when the case was post
poned so as to allow both sides to pro-
cure counsel.
l.. V. Howard Gilmore represented the
Public Service, while John p. Manning
looked after the interests of Captain
Brown. There was much ~wrangling over
technical points, and Judge Herr decided
that the grand jury could best settle the
case.

greet him, In n field opposite the post
office the President mounted a stand and
spoke. He was greatly refreshed after
his Sunday rest at the home of his

he cited the unrivaled praise heaped
upon him by Theodore Roosevelt. Il

Likewise, L appeal from Theodore

Theodore Roosevelt, who solemnly said
that he would never seek a third term. :"

over the Central railroad. At Matawan,

take away h security by taking away
the independence of the judiciary, which
Is the keystone of our government AID of

nominated, because If he is, 1t will be a
very great departure from a wise tradi-
ton with respect to two terms.
Washington said two terms were
enough for any man for the presidency.
Jefferson said the same thing. Jackson
said the same thing. Lincoln said the
same thing. Mckinley said the same
thing. So did Mr.. Roosevelt twice. In
1904 and 1908. That he is not talking a
great deal about the third term now Is
because he does not desire to emphasize
1t. but | appeal from his position now
as to a third term to his position in
1904 and 1908. Then he was in the calm
that followed a victory at the polls, and
he was not thinking that it was neces-
