S5O0O SPENT WOULD HAVE SAVED MILLION
Legislatures Failure to Pre- vent Hog Cholera Costly
 to the State

Montgomery october s.--(special,)-- Failure on the part of the last legisla- ture to appropriate s5ooo for the eradica- ton of hog cholera in Alabama has prob ably cost the state sl0oo,0oo, according to capt. Reuben F. kolb, commissioner of agriculture and industries, and Dr. c. A Cary, state veterinarian.
 These two officials are responsible for the statement that approximately sl.0vo,- GOO worth of hogs have died in Alabama during the past year as q result or cholera, which could probably have been prevented had proper steps been taken to eradicate the disease. According to pr. Cary and Captain Kolb, tho passage of the bill would have given the state au- thorities sufficient funds with which to combat the disease, with the result that cholera could probably have been eradi- cated.
 Should the legislature meet in extra ses- sion it Is understood that another effort will be made to secure the appropriation, and it is expected that the measure will meet with little opposition.

DOCTOR IS SEVERE
 AGAINST TOBACCO Says Mckinley Would Have Lived Had He Not Had
 Tobacco Heart

Washington, October s.--(special)-- pr. Charles c. Pease or New horh' president of the American Fuphc Health association and the lnterha tionaI Congress on Hygiene and Dem ography, exploded a bomb in the camp of tobacco users with letter to the congress, which Is meeting in Wash- ington, which letter was written aleer pr. Schereschewsky removed chart forming part of the American fedora t;on's exhibit for sex Hygiene and pur- porting to illustrate the evil enects roi- lowing the use of tobacco
 In the letter Dr Pease character ized tobacco as the most poisonous weed that grows and declares that General Grant died as result or us- ing tobacco and says that Mark Twain death was due to the same cause. Fur ther he says that President Mckinley physicians have declared that the gun shot wound which ended the Presi- dents life would not have been fatal but for the fact that Mckinney had tobacco heart. He goes on to say that users of tobacco are not fit to be par ents and says that tobacco is vital causs of the degeneracy of the race"
 pr. Schereschewsky and other prom inent men of science of the interna- tional congress declined to comment on pr. Pease's letter, save to"affirm that certain statements made on the chart that has been removed were without scientific proof and were simply ex- pressions of opinions or mere diatribes of non-smokers who know little or what they are talking about Dr. schereschewsky stated, however, that tobacco is bad for the users respfr- ation and has a deleterious effect on his heart, etc, but that, so far as caus- Ing moral deterioration is concerned, science has not shown tobacco to be a factor. He cited the late Phillips Brooks and a host of others, all lnvet- crate smokers, to disprove the asser- ton that moral degensracy is result Of the use of tobacco.
 But getting back to Dr. Pease's posi- tive statement that prominent physi- clans believed that President Mckinley would have lived and recovered from the assassin's bullet had it not been for the fact that he was a user of to- bacco "certainly shows" declared a prominent official in Washington. what little things can change the af- fairs of a nation. If Mckinley had not been a victim of the tobacco habit he would have lived and the country would not have been deprived of a great and good man when he was bad ay needed. Roosevelt would not have been President--not only to fill out McKinley's term, but probably not al all The present split in the repub- lican party may have not taken place and the bull moose may never have been heard of as political organiza- tion-truly a. warning omnibus and profound against the use of tobacco ir any form"

Killed TOT. l"


 This is the worlds record of fatal ac- cidents to airmen and women.
 James Stevenson. the intrepid aviator, who met his death Monday at the fair grounds, is included in the list.
 In nearly every instance the birdmen came to their death by treachery of the elements, something that could not be foreseen or prevented, that is unless the birdmen stayed on he>ground.
 The treachery of the wind currents. air pockets. cross winds and other at mospheric conditions have been the most prolific cause of the fatal accidents. De- fective machinery has caused a number of deaths, while some can be ascribed truthfully to the daring, or it might be said, the foolhardiness of the aviator doing stunts for the edification of the crowd
 This is a terrible toll for conquering the clements, or rather the ability to fly machine that is heavier than air. for the air has not been conquered, as the dread figures show. That the aer- oplane has come to stay there can be no question, and its usefulness has been fully determined by the Italian gov ernment in the recent war with Turkey.

Invasion of the Eye.

Did you ever get cinder or a hair OF
tiny particle of dust into your eyei
Don't all say yes at once!
do not need to ask if you dislike this
invasion of your eye by flying particles,
or coal or dust, as personal experience
with this calamity has convinced me that
there is nothing productive of more trou-
Bile and annoyance than an eye which
suddenly harbors it knows not what.
know OF quite few simple methods
of getting rid of that troublesome cinder
or bit of dust, and will pass on this in
formation to you, as | feel sure it will
be appreciated.
!, Let me warn You the next time some
foreign substance drops into your eye,
not to touch the eye, no matter how it
may pain you or how firmly rooted may
be your conviction that you can rub il
out in no time at all. If you touch your
eyeball, you are more than likely to i'm
bed the dust or cinder in it, when woe
would betide you.
If, at this crisis, the ever-ready tears
do not succeed in banishing the intru-
der, slip faxseed under the lower lid
and let it slide around the eyeball for a
moment, when in most cases it will have
shared the offending cinder.
Another way of evicting the intruder
is to wash the eye out once or twice with
This treatment not only rids you of the
cinder, but brightens and strengthens

TREASURER McCLUNG
WILL NOT RESIGN
ANY Differences He May Have Had
With Secretary MacVeagh Have
Been Wholly Removed.

Washington, July l7.-Rumors that
Lee McClung, treasurer of the United
States and former treasurer of the Yale
corporation, was being forced to re-
sign from the government service" have
been current in Washington for the last
day or two and have excited consider
able speculation, in view Of the recent
resignation OF Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury A. Piatt Andrew These ru-
mors are pronounced by Secretary Mac
Veagh and Treasurer McClung to be
absolutely baseless. 1t will be recalled
that in his letter OF withdrawal, DR.
Andrew referred to MIR. McClung as one
of the officials who had been unable
to transact business in cooperation with
Secretary MacVeagh, Whether or not
this charge was true, il is believed here
that all causes of friction. if any, have
been removed, and that Treasurer Me-
Chung does not contemplate resigning

BIG FIGHT COMING
OVER SINGLE TAX
Lloyd Georges Next Step Promises to
Make Trouble, Says Henry
George. Jr,


Washington, July l7.-Predicting
fight in the British Parliament for the
adoption of the single land tax theory
which will make American politics look
like pink tea" Representative Henry
George. jr., of New York, yesterday made
the following statement regarding the
British workman's insurance law, which
has just become operative in Great Brit
ain.
"As I view the Lloyd George work.
mems insurance act, it is to be regarded
as link in chain of legislation. 1t
will keep the wolf from many doors, hut
this far-sighted statesman intends the
measure to be merely one of a set of
acts for the economic and political re-
organization of Great Britain and Ire
land.
"The act has aroused hostility of the
enemies of liberal government and has
also stirred up the more conservative
Liberals. But it has tied to the Liberals
a large mass of workers who were being
drawn into the Socialist movement.
Lloyd George intends to follow this
with a single tax measure which will
make the budget fight of cookbook small
great and furious as that was. The
work of revaluing land in Great Britain
and Ireland under the budget tax is
nearing completion. The tax levied upon
land values is inconsiderable, but it is
now LloydGeorge's purpose to put a
heavy tax upon these values The bur
den will fall upon landlordism and be
the cause of breaking up deer and
grouse parks and putting to use great
quantities of land now held out for
speculative purposes.
America might draw lesson from
these reforms"
