Boston, and although eighty-six years
of age ne tripped down town like a

long ago the Mediator demonstrated
his reputed supernatural or unusual
powers by locating a gold mine in
California, getting his information, he
said, from the spirits Of intimate
friends long dead.
For many years Brown has occu-
pied a little cabin on a mountain
slope, spending his time chiefly in
fishing, hunting and philosophical
meditation and research, all the while
holding communication with the
spirits of the departed, he says. He
calls himself Mediator between God

NATIONS DEFENSE, EYESIGHT

Atlantic City, y. DIR John A.
Witherspoon, OF Nashville, Tenn, was
elected president OF the American
Medical Association by the House OF
Delegates, which looks after the bust

named first vice-president; Or. John

han, of Omaha, Neb., third yice-presi-
dent.
The attendance has been large and
the discussions on papers in the many
sectional meetings have been profit
able to the members.
One OF the interesting meetings OF
the day was that OF the section on
ophthalmology where Dr.. John a.

that the eyesight of the nation s
marksmen is the real defense Of the
country in time of war. He called on

Typhoid fever is at last being sue
cessfuly checked through antityphoid
incubation, in the opinion OF experts
who appeared before the section on
public health. In a paper read By Dr..
Leslie II. Spooner, of Boston, it was
shown that the danger TO nurses and
others who come in direct contact with
patients suffering from typhoid has
been practically eliminated by the
treatment.
Dr. N. l.. Ravitch, OF Louisville, in
the section of dermatology, made a
plea for earlier diagnosis of pellasra,
as it presents a most serious problem
in the Southern States. He favored
the protozoan theory as the most
plausible one with regard TO the origin
OF the disease the transmission being
through migratory birds.

According to DR.. Weir the quality
of the water depends not only on dis

streams, but also on the pollution with
organic and suspended mineral matter

be free from pathogenic bacteria

Austrian Red Tape Carried to Limit
in Woman's Case-Many Com
mon Law Marriages Here.

Vienna.-In the Austrian parliament
recently a deputy interpellated the
government on what is either an ex-
traordinary piece of red tape or an i'm
pertinent interference in the private
affairs of the public by the Austrian
postoffice.
At Pardubitz DR.. and Mrs. M
have lived together for many years.
Recently the postal authorities there
learned that they had never been
legally married, or that if married
abroad. their union was not valid in
Austria. and thereupon began to re-
turn all letters addressed to Mrs. M,
informing the senders that no such
person lived in Pardubitz.
The woman appealed to the SUI
preme court of administration againsa
this action of the postoffice, but lost
the case on the ground of century
old law, which prescribes that all let
ters must bear an exact address.

went to the Mediator to try to in

taking off 200 of the 500 years. Bod

Even 800 years seemed too long

TOO MANY LAB0RERS THERE
Mo More Needed in Western Part Of
Canada, Says a United States
Consul.

Vancouver, B. C.-While it is true
that with the approach Of spring there
are fewer unemployed in British Co
lumbia than a few months ago, it can
hardly be denied that there are more
than sufficient laborers in this prov
ince at present for any demand likely
to arise in the course Of the year,
David 7. WILDER reports from Van
couver.
The immigration of laborers from
the United States to Canada should be
discouraged until further develop
ments have greatly changed the labor
situation here. Immigrants from the
United States are bound to be disap-
pointed because of the lower wages,
higher cost of living and the great I'M
certainty of obtaining employments
They should in no case come without
sufficient means to keep them for
some time in case they cannot obtain
employment and to take them back
to the United States if finally unsuc-
cessful. However, larger numbers have
been attracted to British Columbia
than can possibly obtain work, al
though the province is developing rap
idly. Hardly a day has passed during
this winter when the situation of the
unemployed in Vancouver has not
been brought repeatedly to my atten-
ton by destitute Americans seeking
assistance to get home. No less than
1900 Americans have permanently re-
turned from Vancouver alone since
November l.
It should also be added that the
laws against vagrancy are very strict
and rigidlv enforced in Vancouver.
