At the first sign OF constipation the
mother should administer mild Taxa

Danger In Shuttle kjssIno.1

Shuttle kissing" as a vehicle for
the transmission of diseases from one
person to another employed in Eng
lish weaving sheds. is the subject of
a recent report which has been issued
as a parliamentary paper The kiss
ing" referred to takes place when the
operator puts the thread through an
eye in the shuttle. This is done by
placing the shuttle in the mouth and
sucking the thread through the little
opening. The report says that while
the investigation has shown the pres
ent method to be uncleanly "and NAV
even be possible means of spreading
infection" the committee does not
think the time is yet ripe for insisting
either by act Of parliament or byree-

The "change of life is most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the ewes.
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help The nerves ara

IT. 16.-Jim Flynn did not bring
back the flower of hstic su-

that it will not he such difficult

That the contest at Las Vegas

that the writer spoke to and he

are others -staunch admirers of the
colored champion who think that
ver-confdence and under training
prevented Johnson from admins

the Fireman as was administered at
San Francisco FIVE years ago.
In this connection here is some

do not agree with those who think
that Johnson was in serious danger
of petering out when he began to
hold Flynn so tightly in the sixth

of resting himself and if Flynn had

Men and Religion Bulletin No. 9
Atlanta, Ca, July IS, 1912
1t has been brought to the light of
public knoWlege that there are more
than 40 houses in Atlanta conducted for
gain by public prostitution.
They exist in the knowledge of the
Mayor the City Council the Police
Commission and the Police Force and
carry on their traffic openly as com
merClal establishments
They are scattered around the heart
of the city and, while defying the law
and the courts in their traffic, they claim
and receive immunity from the sworn
officers of the law not allowed other
laWless business enterprises.
In our capacity as citizens and as
ministers of the Gospel, we protest
against these "Houses in our Midst" as
in defiance of the law, as corrupting to
the public morals and private virture,
and as ntolerable to the enlightened
social conscience.
AS ministers of God we can not
and will not be silent so long as this
partnership between the city and vice

diplomas were presented to the gradu-

tistry by the Rev. Aloysius j. DOnlon,

Tests DISCLOSE
VALUE OF FIND
Experiments With Hawaii Rubber
Trees Give Encouraging Re-
suits, Says Expert Wilcox.

Favorable in scientific and CONNER
rial ways is the result Of the tests
which have been made in the forest
OF ruht er trees on the island of Ha-
waii. The trees cover an area of six
thousand acres, are fun grown and
ready to tap. Their yield is enormous
and comes in greater quantities than
usual. The milk has produced sixty
per cent chicle gum and seventeen per
cent rubter. Just which one of these
materials to extract and market will
have to be determined by the condi
;ion OF the market. Rubber is graded
by ITS elasticity, and that produced
on these trees is not first quality and
there is little spring in it. This rubber
is valuable however, and is used for
making machine belts and other arti-
clcs wiich do not demand the elastic
qualities.
An uncommon feature of the lateH
of these trees is that it can be shipped
any great distance without harm. 1t
does not eoagulate easily and this will
lessen the expense of collecting it
DR.. Wilcox estimated that one man
could tap one hundred trees in a day
or produce eight pounds of chicle OF
| line pounds of rubber. Chicle gum
has market value of from SO cents to
50 cents per pound or an average OF
IS cents, making allowances for q
fiuctuating market. Its commercial
value over the rubber is undoubted as
the very highest grade which comes
from Ceylon is only commanding $l.l!
per pound, while the lower grades art
| much less.
An estimate that 800 pounds could
| be gathered annually from each acr,
was made by DIR. Wilcox and as tn,
trees are ready for tapping the ex
pense entailed in collecting the latex
not including the refining or shipping
would not exceed FIVE cents for eacl
