QUACKERY.

Every city has its reputable physi.
clans who devote their time and mon.
ey to the interests of tie cities where
they live. For this reason if for nc
other home physicians have q moral
and legal right to local patronage
when their services are really need
ed.
The public is a gullible lot, and
quacks flourish as a result. When
they are not at hand, venders of pat
ent medicines are. Their packages
and bottles are attractive, and their
advertising is done so skillfully that
the readers begin to have all sorts
Of aches and pains. Pete Smith and
Joe Cannon had the same thing. They
were fully cured by our bitters. OF
course the labels says so percent al
cohol and some opiates that the man
with pain doesn't know anything
about. but Pete and Joe were cured.
Thus people who would not think of
tampering with the insides of their
old clocks are constantly trying to fix
their own ineides by pouring all sorts
OF nostrums into them.
The course of bitters and long
haired doctors is almost run; a
little more preventive medicine, q
few more DR.. Wfleys backed by am
pie legislation, and a determined
stand by physicians for their rights,
will put stop to quacks and cure
alls.

PROSPERITY OF PHILIPPINES

PROSPERITY OF PHILIPPINES
This year there are no 'hard
times" in the Philippine Islands. The
bureau of insular affairs of the
War Department has reported mos,
provinces prosperous and tranquil
Last year there was an increase in
custom revenues of more than ST..
100000, and an increase in internal
revenues of more than $1,500,000.
There were few cases of chlorida
and lepers last year. Health condi-
tions prevail in the islands. Besides,
by action of Congress, practically
free trade between the islands and
the United States has been granted.
which certainly brings more prosper
ity to the Philippines. 1t is believed
that a larger amount of trade will be
the result of this action of Congress.
Our trade with the islands is in
creasing every year. Last year, the
total value of our import trade was
$49,S33,722, as compared with $37.-
067, $50 for 1910. The total value of
our imports from the islands for
1911 was $39,77S,629, as compared
with $39,717,960 in the previous
year.

Famous Dormitory at Harvard
Was Built in 1872.
Money to Put the Mall Up Was
Raised by Lottery, Which
Made a Profit of
$4,000.

Cambridge, Mass.-Not only every
Harvard man but every visitor who
has crossed the classic yard of the
old university will be interested in
the fact that Holworthy hall one Of
the dormitories facing on the elm
shaded quadrangle, celebrates it's cen
tenary this year. For a full hundred
years it has been occupied by success
sive generations of students.
The history Of Holworthy is inter
esting. Before it was built the col
lege had faced out over Cambridge
common, turning its back on what is
now the yard. The three oldest build
ings, Harvard (1672-82), the original
Stoughton (1699) and Massachusetts
hall (1720), formed three sides of a
square open to the west Later (1763)
Hollis was built in line with Slough
ton and with the help of Holden
chapel, three sides of another square
we're thus formed, this one also open
ing to the west.
These western faces were the front
Of the building. Behind them in what
is the present yard were wood houses,
the brewhouse and other outbuildings
Stoughton was finally taken down in
1880 and a different plan Of arrange
ment then became possible. Still the
present Stoughton, built in 1903, was
placed on a line with Hollis and it
also faced the west.
In 1911, however, another dormitoTy
being needed, it was voted in the first
place that the corporation will pro-
coed to erect a new college for the
habitation of students on the site of
old Stoughton hall" and Mr.. Lowell
and Loammi Baldwin were appointed
a committee to make necessary con-
tracts and superintend the erection of
the building: If this. plan had been
carried out it would have effectually
blocked the development of the pres
ent college yard.
Fortunately better counsels prevail
ed, says the Harvard Graduates Mag
azine On March II, 1911, Mr.. Bald
win presented a plan for the new col
Iege, and it was voted that the com
mittee appointed to contract for the
erection of the new college be re-

DAMAGE BY SAN JOSE SCALE
Probably No other Insect, If Uncon-
trolled, Capable of Doing Greater
Damage to Fruit.

The pear in common with othe
fruits is subject to the depredations
Of insects. among the most important
of which are the codltng moth and the
San Jose scale.
The Iarva of the codIing moth, which
affects the apple to such an alarming
extent, entailing a lOss of millions of
dollars, is also more or less injurious
to the pear, though to much les ex-
tent than to the apple.
Probably no other insect, If uncon-
trolled. is capable of doing greater
damage to the fruit industry of this
country than the San Jose scale. Near
ly all kinds Of deciduous fruit trees
are more or less subject to its attacks.
1t muItiplies and spreads with such
great rapidity that unless controlled
it is but a question of a short time IN
til the tree is ruined and death follows.
Nevertheless, this insect can be CON
trolled at comparatively small cost,
SO that it is no longer to be regarded

Important Events.

Everyone ought to cultivate g
friendship for trees. and along with
his animal friends have a few tree
friends. He could do no better to
commemorate an event in his family
life than TO set out a tree and name
it with the name Of what he would
remember-haFe arbor days Of his
own.
Where a family has been sentimen-
tai enough 10 do this you will fad
trees about the house named John.
Henry, Susie, Clara, ETC., in memory
of the birth Of the children. You
viii see q tree somewhere near the
safe called the telephone tree, be
cause it was planted the year the tele-
phone was put in the house
There viii be another tree some
where near that one called the free
delivery tree, commemorative the year
the mail was first brought to the
door. There viii also be some small
trees, among them the auto tree, in
memory of the first automobile owned
by the farmer, and the air tree, TO re
member the thrill experienced upon
seeing the first aeroplane.

Lascar Sailors from india Say Stencil
of Cargo Was Unbearable, So
T1ey Quit.

New York.-~-The picturesque Lascar
sailors, clad IN outIandish costumes,
such as is commonly supposed to be
the garb Of Eirates, are taken before
Magistrate Mcfarland of the night
court and sentenced to 80 days each
on the charge OF attempting to desert
the British oil steamer Indra, which
is lying at Point Breeze. Captain
Cram, master of the vessel, and Chief
officer Kennedy appeared against
them, declaring the men started row
because they were refused shore
leave. NOLAN ali, the only one of the
ten who could speak English, was
spokesman for his companions, He
defended their action, saying that the
captain ordered them to remain in
the forecastle, where the stencil of oil
was so fntolerable that they could
hardly breathe.

ers presented a novelty in the night
court, so different were they from the
usual types Of prisoners. Most OF
them wore vivid colored handker-
chiefs on their heads; some were
CARRIED in wide trousers which extend
ed only to the knees, and others were
half naked. One man wore a yellow
turban.
According to the testimony, the
men were shipped In India, signing
papers which stipulated that they
were not to have any shore leave IN
less upon express permission OF the
captain. All said that the men had
been deceived when these papers

quested to cause the same to be erected
to the eastward Of new Stoughton and
extending its front southerly, nearly
east and west, and that the same be
built upon the principles of the plan
exhibited by L. Baldwin, with single
rooms in the front and two studies in
the rear, and to form the north side
of a quadrangle which, when com
pleted, may be nearly equilateral."
The money with which to build the
new hall was not derived from the
Holworthy bequest received many
years before, as might be inferred
from the name, but came from the
proceeds of a lottery which had been
authorized by act of the legislature
March Il, 1906 The treasurer's books
show that the lottery produced about
$29 900, of which sum S24, 500 was
spent on HoIworthy hall This was
a not unusual way of raising money
for public purposes and no i'll opinion
was attached to 1t at that time.
Stoughton hall had been built in like
manner by a lottery authorized in
1894
In the corporation records it was
specified that the rent of rooms in
Holworthy should be $26 year.

Minnesota Young Woman Seeking
Lost Cows Has Thrilling En-
counter With Bruins.

Kinney. Minn-While hunting for
a lost COW IN the woods adjacent to
her fathers homestead, seven miles
north Of Kinney, Mary McInnes, if
teen years old, encountered a black
bear with two well-grOwn cubs. She
was almost upon the animals before
she saw them.
Screaming, the girl scrambled over
fallen logs and dead brush. the en-
ragged bear coming after her. Coming
to a small tree she grasped the lower
boughs and drew herself up until out
of immediate harms way. The bear
hung around the tree and made sew
eraI attempts to climb it, but its eff
forts were failures, owing to the small
gfrth Of the trunk, which prevented
the brute from getting solid grip
The weather was very cold, and as
the evening wore on 1t became almost
impossible for the girl to retain her
hold on the boughs through cramps
