 Prevention rather than cure is the
 maxim of today. Perhaps no movement
 in the history of the world Is making
 such rapid progress as that which forms
 public opinion in educating the whole
 people in a physical way. We are begin
 ming to attain a public consciousness in
 the matter of health-the aim of re-
 search is to discover the cause and re-
 move it. this new consciousness is not a selfish one, it grows out of the spirit of human kindness. There is becoming as civilization advances a keener synipa- thy between man and man: also the knowledge that disease in one part of
 the world will ultimately invade new fields. To the nation as whole the aver age measure of fll-health means defeat to the average mans ability and it is the average in life we look for as 1t holds the individual and the nation on sound
 basis. under value and over value is a destroying factor even in the matter of health.

Police Use Submarine Light
From the Popular Mechanics
 The s1thrl, a rine lieht has lopp hae

From tne fOpular MecnanlcS.
 The submarine light has long been a practical reality. but it's use as a means to help the police in their ordinary routine work was left to the Chicago police department. The submarine light will be part of the equipment of a new motor boat that was recently launched on the Chicago river, and will be used to expedite the work of recovering the bodies of the drowned. This will largely do away with the slow dragging method now In vogue. where the searchers must run back and forth over the river bot tom with cumbersome and inefficient grapplins hooks. It will also be of great assistance to the divers when they are working below the water.
 This particular light consists of a cylindrical tungsten bulb of high power whose rays are refracted through a heavy triangular prism of glass so as to light large area on the bottom of the stream. The light is said to be of such intensity that the river bottom may be plainly visible to depths of eighteen to twenty feet and will be partially illu- minated in depths ranging from twenty to thirty feet. The light is of especial value in Chicago because of the large number of accidents that occur in the Chicago river. where the water is very dirty.

Tribes in Brazil

Missionary leaders in London, of whom
 there are many, have just sent appeals
 to similar leaders in New York to join
 them in a united endeavor to reach and
 save Indian tribes in remote regions of
 Brazil The saving part relates. 1t Is as-
 serted. not merely to souls, but to bodies.
 for gradually Indians are being wiped
 out through disease and vices learned
 from whites. The impression prevails
 that few Indian tribes remain. It is said on the contrary that thousands of them
 do, and that vast regions of the great re-
 public of Brazil remain wholly unexplored.
 Yet most of them are roamed over by
 Indians.
 Just now universities and learned so-
 cieties of Europe and America are send ing expeditions to Brazil to study these Indians and to bring away museum speci- mems. Much money is being spent in this research work. appeals for 1t containing statements that collector must secure such specimens at once, before tribes are
 exterminated. BraziIs government has also walked up. and Is providing museums in Rio and San Paulo with ethnological information concerning Rrazips early peo- ples.
 The appeal of the missionary leaders of England is that there be formed an ex- petition that shall go across South Amer ica from east to west on latitude 10. Here 1t is claimed Is an unexplored region as interesting and almost as extensive as that which David Livingstone penetrated In Africa. Attempts have been made by Christian missionaries to reach the upper Amazon districts, but all have failed. Vast sections of even coast Brazil are roamed over by Indians, unmolested by any white people, and untouched by civilization. This appeal to New York societies has not yet brought response. The expedition to Peru. supported chiefly in London. is getting subscriptions, but the larger Brazil Indian field is as yet untouched. It is held by the English missionary leaders that to the United States attaches a pecu- liar responsibility to help that is even greater than that attaching to England or any part of Europe.

Doctor Chloroforms Doomed Man.

Portland, Me-, Feb. 19.-Pinioned
beneath wreckage of freight cars, fol-
lowing a Kead-on collision of two
freight trains on the Grand Trunk
road at North Yarmouth this morning
Arthur Coils, a fireman, realized
that the efforts to rescue him from
the flames, which were directly over
his body, would fail and he pleaded
for an hour and half for physici-
ans to give him something to put him
out of his agony.
After all efforts to remove the
heavy timbers from the mans body
failed, DR.. Edgar E. Barker, of Port
land crawled through tunnel of
grain and wreckage to Corliss's side
and passed him handkerchief sat-
urated with chloroform. BY that
time flames we're tapping the lower
part of Corliss's body.
II did the only thing man could
do" said DR.. Barker. 81 did not
want to give the man chloroform,
and did not give it to him until l
knew that it was impossible for him
live. He pleaded for more than an
hour for us to give him something
to put him out of his agony, and /
decided that it was the right thing
to do.
"When 1 passed him the saturated
handkerchief he did not hesitate a
second, as he knew that he would be
burned almost by inches.
1T was the last resort to relieve a
doomed man."

Goulvec. Poor chap, he has been

No, I have never thought about pa

must have them. He will want them
next year when he has to serve
France. Of course, he'll be sailor.
He's a fisherman now. Put him down

you think that is best. We do not

dead these 18 years.

Crossing.

At a grade crossing near Bath in
Aiken county, Saturday night at
7:40 o'clock, B. G. Sharp, SO years of
age, was instantly killed and his body
frightfully mangled. James Rey-
nolds, 13 years of age, was so serious

ers.

Tyrolean-Alpine Singers.

The concert given by the Tyrolean-
Alpine singers at the Fitting School
auditorium Monday evening was a
musical treat, certainly one of the
finest attractions that has visited
Bamberg in some time. The musical
numbers were of the highest order
and the reading of Miss Ramsden was
superb. Head Master Guilds is do
ing patriotic work in bringing such
companies here, and he should at
least have the financial support OF
the public whom he is so faithfully
serving. If he can pay expenses on
these attractions he is doing we'll

financial loss all the time.

JAPAN WILL ECLIPSE
 OUR NAVY IN 4 YEARS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 26.- Japan by 1916 will have wrested the position of third naval power from the United States and this country will have difficulty in main. taining itself in fourth place un- less it builds two battleships a year. Secretary Meyer so declared in his testimony before the house naval affairs committee. The secretary urged greater liberality by congress in dealing with the naval establish ments.
 Meyer asked for an appropriation of Sl,OO0,OOO to establish globe girdling wireless system, by which United States warships could keep in constant touch with Washington. with their bases and with each ether.
 The committee is pledged to econ omy, and although appropriations for battleships have not been acted up- on many members are said to be inclined not to support the caucus, which decided against two battle ship program. The wireless sug- gestion, it is believed, will not be agreed tc for reasons of economy.
 The secretary told the committee that even with the construction of two battleships year the United States in four years would be forced to drop behind Japan in the naval scale If only one ship a year is built, he said, the country would find itself outstripped by Great Britain, Germany, France and Japan.
 As part of the general naval re organization scheme Secretary Meyer suggested the abandonment of the navy yards at New York, Boston and Portsmouth, N. H., provided SPA ,000 could be realized from their sales. The three yards cost the government more than $116.000, 000
 In place of the abandoned yards the new plan contempiates one great navy yard in Naragansett bay, an other at Norfolk, a torpedo station at Charleston, and small yard at Key West
