LIVERPOOL. August 17.-An alchemy
more wonderful by far than that Of the
ancients who searched for the philoso-
piers stone was revealed before section
of the British Medical Association today
by DR. William Maule Smith. The title
of his paper was remarkable enough:
ION the use of extract Of brain tissue
in the treatment of various forms OF
insanity"
In a paper bristling with technicalities
he quoted actual cases in which he had
the cerebrin and cholesterin, and injected
these substances into insane persons.
This treatment, he declared. caused delu-
sions to vanish and grave disorders were
cleared up.
Paper Causes Sensation.
1t is difficult to put into words the SEN
sation which this paper has made even in
this scientific gathering. Dr. Murk jan
sens, the celebrated Dutch orthopaedist.
declared that both curvature Of the spine
and natural right-haI dedness dated from
that remote time when man began ia
walk upright instead Of on all tours. ne
recommended tnat 10 dVOlQ curvature
children should not be allowed to sit up
until they could stand and walk.
Kellett Smith went even further, and
exhibited lantern slides showing a young
man crawling on all fours to cure curva-
ture.
Seasickness and "Reminiscences came
under the wide purview of ophthalmoto-
logical section. and DIR. Bradbourne at
tributed them to the effort Of the eyes to
overcome the unaccustomed motion which
they saw. He recommended that suffer-
ers should sit with their backs to the en-
CINE.
Attack Children's Sweets.
OF course, children's sweets were at
tackled. No congress OF the British Med
ical Association would be complete with
out a fierce onslaught on the brandy ball
Of boyhood. the puerile peppermint and
the adolescent acid drops.
DR.. Sam" Wallace lecturer in dental
surgery and pathology at the London
Hospital. mentioned two great causes Of
dental disease-one the ''pappy nature of
the food on which very young children
are compelled to subsist." and the other
sweets. He quoted the medical officer OF
health for Salop for the statement that
the eating Of sweets is responsible for
% per cent of the disease in the teeth Of
children OF the present day"

MANY DISTRICT HEADS
DURING THE MONTH
Vacations Throw Responsible
ity on Four Different
Executives.

-Four different executive heads Is what
the District OF Columbia government will
have had before the end Of August un-
der its commission form OF government,
and the number does not include one OF
the three Commissioners who is to be
absent during the entire month.
On the shoulders Of Cuno H. Rudolph,
president of the board Of Commissioners,
and Maj. p. NJ. Markham assistant en-
gineer commissioner, the duty OF admins
tering the affairs of the local government
has fallen during the absences OF Com
nhssioners Johnston and Judson. These
two have constituted the necessary
quorum for board sessions, and the same
will be true when Commissioner Johnston
and Capt Mark Brooke, assistant en-
gineer commissioner. take over the redns
OF government next week.
Commissioner Johnston will return
from his vacation tomorrow and Com
missioner Rudolph probably will leave
Tuesday for Goshen. Va. where he ex-
trout. Mat. Markham, who has been or
dered by the War Department to Mem
pills. Tenn, where he will be In charge OF
improvements on the Mississippi river,
&C acting commissioner. during the alb
eince from the city Of Commissioner Jud-
son, will be filled by Capt Brooke.
To Inspect Asphalt Plants.
Col. Judson has spent a vacation of
two weeks at Wequetonsing, Mich, but,
prior to returning to Washington, will
visit several cities to make an inspection
of municipality owned and operated
ashpale plants. 1t is not expected that he
will be able to conclude the series Of in
spections before September l.
The term that Capt Brooke will serve
as acting commissioner OF the District
will be brief one. probably not exceed
ing a week. Capt. Julian Schley, who has
been designated as Maj. Markham's sue
cessor. now is abroad, and 1t is unlikely
that he will report for duty before Oc-
tober 16
The first task that will confront the
Commissioners, upon the conclusion of
the vacation season. will be the prepara-
ton Of the Districts estimates for the
next fiscal year. So far, this Is a matter
that has been given little attention. 1t
will be taken up in earnest by not later
than September 15 as the estimates have
to be completed by October 10.

Entitled to Two Cents More.

However taking into consideration the
fact that on its way from one point TO the
other the taxi had always crossed the
crowded boulevards. il was decided that
though VI. Pochon had strictly. when he
reached his destination. sixty yards or
Iwenty-tour seconds still to run. these
twenty-four seconds had in all probable
iiy been already exhausted in some block
OF traffic. The chauffeur, then. had the
right TO cents more than he was Of
Tered by his fare. namely, Il cents.
That sum NJ. Pochon must pay with
compound interest on the supernumerary
penny OF the costs. which amount to over
SO \ third will be borne BY the chauf-
feur and two-thirds by the recalcitrant
fare, NJ. Pochon.

PARIS. August l7.-Twopence. or 4
cents was the amount in question in
a case between a taxicab driver and
his fare. which was tried first before
a justice of the peace. and then. on ap-
peal, before the civil tribunal of the
Seine. 4. NJ. Pochon one day hired a
taxi in front of No. IA Boulevard
Poisonniere. and drove TO the police sta
ton in the Rue Choiseul.
When he reached his destination the
chauffeur demanded sevenpence ha'penny

taximeter. NJ Pochon refused to pay
more than 10 cents. urging that, ac-
cording to the tariff, he had the right
10 thousand yards of space. or min
utes IL seconds OF time for that sum.
Now. the distance from No IA Boule-
ward Poisonnieye to the police station
in the Rue ChoiseuI was only twenty
yards. according To the careful cal
culation Of Nj. Pochon, who. therefore.
rendered his Is cents. which the chauf-
feur refused 10 accept. The justice of
the peace upheld NJ Pochon's conten-
ton, and gave judgment against the
chauffeur. who appealed 10 the civil
tribunal.

DEMOCRATIC AND
REPUBLICAN, VIEWS
On L. 5. sENATORSHIP.
m MATTERS Nor.

From the Middletown New Era Dem)
The Senatorial question has been
most effectively threshed out, not on
ly by the Democratic papers, but by
the Republican journals of both fac
tions We have every confidence in
the wisdom Of the majority OF the
Democratic legislature to elect the
right man. We have no sympathy for
any man who will allow his selfish
ambition to work an injury to party
success. 1t matters not whether he
be from New Castle, Kent or Sussex
county so he is a Delawarean and a
Democrat. Selfish ambitions have no
room for consideration at the present
time, now that the opportunity is at
hand for Democratic success. Be
cause a man has once represented
Delaware in the t. s. Senate should
have a thought that there are others
Just as competent, and perhaps more
so, than he is.

PAST FIFTY? YOU
NEED "CASCARETS''
What glasses are 10 weak eyes-Cas-
carets are 10 weak bowels.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
tion is perfectly natural 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels The
bowels must be kept active This is
important at all ages. but never so
much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and nat
ural tonic. One that can be con-
stantly used without harm The only
such tonic is Cascarets and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any drug
store. They work while you sleep.

granted that a who holds the important official
position that is held by the Councilman would not
make such assertion unless II based upon sub
stantia fact Il seems that such situation is
serious one and that 1t calls for prompt action by
city officials. They should tolerate continuance
of such menacing conditions.
There only should be hre-escapes but also fre-

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Sir: A draft of a charter for the
city Of Wilmington is now before the
people. IL is progressive, but ex-
ceptionally conservative. All Of its
principles have been tried, and proved
so satisfactory, that even those who
have opposed them, where they have
been introduced, strongly favor them.
In other cities it is now proved that
the opposition to them was simply
a mistake, or pure seldshness.
it is hoped that every citizen will
make the cause of just, efficient. and
economical government his own. All
organizations that exist for the up
lift of mankind should take up the
subject, carefully study the proposed
charter, and take the initiatvein secur
ing government by our citizens rather
than by small selfish interests.
The proposed charter is absolutely
non-partisan. 1t should receive the
support of every one, irrespective Of
party. II is not a political, but the
peoples movement. DO not fall back,
and leave the work to others.
Keep in mind distinctly what is
asked We do not ask the legislator
to pass the charter Il is asked only
that the people have the privilege of
expressing their inherent right as to
what kind of city government they de-
sire. If the Legislature will not
grant this, then let the people elect
one that will consider the will of the
people as well as that of special or
private interests

JOHN +.
From the Wilmington Every Even

From the Wilmington Every Evening,
CDem)
No doubt those who have followed
with interest the editorial in the
Washington Post which was reprint
ed I'm Every Evening on Monday. and
The various comments thereon, i'm re-
laton to the Influences which de-
priVed Democrat of Federal
iudgeship i'm Delaware, in 1897. when
the appointment of the late James
L. Wolcott of Dover failed of confr-
nation by reason of Democratic op-
position from this State, will read
with additional interest the letter
from John f. Salisbury of Dover
which we print elsewhere in this
issue For Mr. Salisbury without
the slightest hesitation. says In his
letter set am the man."
But. after all, there is nothing
really surprising i'm Mr Saulshury's
confession. beyond the fact that it
should have been delayed so long For
Notwithstanding his assertion that "if
/ am not greatly Mistaken az least
one other party knew at the time
what he was doing-and there is am
pie evidence that he Is very greatly
mistaken-his story will come as a
revelation TO the people of Delaware.
Certainly contemporaneous history.
as recorded in the files OF the daily
newspapers. does not sustain the
slightest intimation that anybody but
John r Salisbury knew in the early
part of 1897 that John r. Salisbury
was laboring at Washington to keep
James L. Wolcott from being Judge
of the United States District Court
for this State.
AS we have said, there is nothing
really surprising In Mr.. Saulsbury's
belated confession He always was
an unselfish fellow. ready AT all times
to sacrifice himself for the interests
OF other members Of the family. 10
Is nothing new that he should. at this
time. place himself In the position Of
the whipping boy" OF the family
circle and manfully take his punish
ment whether deserved or undeserv-
ed. But Il may be added that there
is still something TO be said about the
real Influences that determined the
fate OF the Federal judge appoint
ment of 1897 Notwithstanding Mr..
Saulshury's vicarious sacrifice
