food, and carried into the blood

is at the point of greatest absorption
that the poisons remain. Just as
soon as this absorption commences
tissue changes take place, and as
the poisons go throughout the body
they are certain to find some weak
point for destruction. Just where
this will be depends upon the condi-
tion and Inheritance of the indiyid-
ual. As the course of the fever pro-
crosses toward a favorable outcome,
nutrition regulates itself and we say
that the patient is recovering. And
with our present knowledge of the
disease and its causes recovery is
usual. But don't forget that the
body Is not in the same condition it
was before the attack.
When one reflects how in all
parts of the body large portions of
important organs are destroyed dur
ing the typhoid process, one can
readily understand the reason for the
long period of convalescence; why
weakness continues and why it is not
always possible for every organ to
regain its former perfect condition.
A tremendous lot of new mater
ial has to be manufactured in the
body to replace lost material. The
human machine has been fearfully
racked and torn. The extent of all
this racking and injury depends, Of
course upon the age, condition and
habits of the patient and the virul-
ence of the disease
Mans recreative powers are won
derful; If IL were not so, long ago
would the world have been depopu-
lated; but there are some delicate
organs, such as the nerve centres
and the brain, which never fully re-
cover their full strength Such con-
ditions do not mean that there will
be any mental disturbance or pro-
nounCed nervous instability, but
that the sustaining power is weak
ened.
One should, after an attack of ty-
phoid or any similar germ disease,
remember all this and keep ever in
mind that no matter how we'll they
really feel, the human machine must
be started again on its daily work
slowly, carefully, until all it's differ
ent parts have been tested and it is
known just where there is any
weakness or retarded new growth.
On account of the general well
feeling after recovery from a germ
disease, the individual is apt to
overstrain and overwork some organ.
Then comes a breakdown from
which it is often impossible to re-
cover. This is the real reason why
we see those who have apparently
recovered again i'll from nervous
troubles, perhaps bone disease, or
some form of malnutrition.
Ignorance, carelessness and (es-
pecially in the country stupid ad-
herence to grandfather's ideas are
the causes of typhoid and other wa
ter and foodborn diseases. Typhoid
fever can be totally eradicated; there
is no excuse for it's prevalence. In
the cities it is under fair control.
1t is in the country, up in the hills
that ignorance enables it to thrive.

LincoIn's Pass VaIueIess,

At one time during the civil war,
when the Union army was making
great efforts to break through the cor
don Of Confederate troops which de-
Tended Richmond, a gentleman called
on President Lincoln in Washington
and asked for a pass for Richmond,
We'll" said Lincoln, II would be very
happy to oblige you if my passes We're
respected, but the fact is, sir, l have
within the last two years given pass
es to 100000 men to 90 to Richmond,
and not one has got there yet"
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-05-29


So far as can be gathered, the pro-
moters of the idea figure on selling
the power that such a plant would
make to companies in the towns and
cities in the territory served, rather
than to the individual.
In the localities where the options
have been gotten people have been
impressed for several months that
the project is a big one. Because of
the secrecy which has yelled the do
ings of the promoters, some have in
clined to the thought that it is mere
speculation on the part of daring
promoters who want to be in a posi-
ton to take advantage of the move
ment embodying conservation of nat
ural resources, theorizing that the
possibilities of the Delaware for
water power may be appreciated in
the near future to the event of in
teresting men of means and thus
give those who hold options on the
land a chance to make a lot of
money. This latter theory, however,
has not been sustained so far. On
the contrary what evidence there is
would seem to indicate that those in
terested mean business.
During the past ten days, it is
said, some $500 worth of options
along the river have been picked
up by a Buffalo lawyer working un-
der cover.

OLD GLORY ON
MEMORIAL DAY.

nF all the many questions
that are constantly being
asked the war department
at Washington TO answer, the
one most frequently put before
1t is as to the correct position of
flying Old Glory on Memorial day
mt army posts and stations.
To those who have no relation
to the military service it is al
most the universal belief that
the flag should be displayed at
half staff all Of May 80, but this
is not so, for paragraph 4I4 of
the army regulations prescribes
rs follows:
"4i4. On Memorial day. May
80. at all army posts and sta
tions the national flag will be
displayed at half staff from sun
rise till midday, and immediate
ly before noon the band, or field
music, will play some appropri-
ate air, and the national salute
Of twenty-one guns will be fired
at IL m. at all posts and stations
provided with artillery. At the
conclusion of this memorial trib-
ute at noon the flag will he hoist
ed to the top of the staff and
will remain there until sunset.
When hOisted to the top of the
staff the flag will be saluted by
playing one or more appropriate
patriotic airs. In this way fit
ting testimonial of respect for
the heroic dead and honor to
their patriotic devotion will be
appropriately rendered"

AN OLD BATTLEFIELD.

scented south,
And rust and roses in the cannon's
mouth,
And where the thunders OF the fight
were born
The winds sweet tenor in the
standing corn,
With songs Of larks. low lingering
I'm the loan.
And low skies bending over love
and home,
But still the thought: Somewhere,
upon the hills
Or where the wales ring with the
whippoorwills,
! Sad, wistful eyes and broken hearts :
that beat
For the loved sound OF unreturning
feet
And when the oaks their leafy ban
ners wave,
Dream of the battle and an un-
marked grave!

MORGAN'S LEAVING
 SENSATION
Many Believing Financier Intended Smuggling Old
 Master From Rome

Rome April .-tSpeeial.)--J. Pier point Morgan experienced the most ex- citing episode of his present trip abroad late today when he departed for Paris. Their suspicious aroused earlier in the day, several hundred persons believing that the finaneier intended to smuggle cut an old master, thronged the sta tion and when Mr Morgan and his party appeared. taxed the efforts of the police to prevent them doing violence.
 MT. Morgan had engaged a salon car and he arrived al 4:40 with his secre- tary. Tie crowd swarmed about ais carriage and the police cleaned a lane 10 the station with difficulty. Mrs. Turns, one of several ladies who weni to the station to see the Morgan party off, was roughly handled in alighting from her carriage.
 MT. Morgan was greatly agitated and oashed quickly to his ear as soon as his carriage stopped. All the exits Of the car were immediately closed and the blinds lowered.
 The action of the crowd this after noon is believed to have been prompted by the fact that MT Morgan personally superintended the packing of a large picture which was delivered at his totel. The picture was six feet by four and was enclosed in heavy gold frame. Ii was reported that the picture was en old master.
 MT. Morgan. it was learned from authoritative sources today, bought many rare art objects while here.

Birmingham Man Tells How He Renewed His Vitality
HEALTH WAS RESTORED
Hundreds of Listless, Half Sick, Ner. vous People to Be Found in All
 Sections of Country

J. c. Irion of 1897 Eighth avenue, north, city. has this 10 say of 'Tona Vita" the new tonic that is making such a record in Birmingham at present; "I have been in miserable condition of health for several years. l never did know ex- actly what was the matter with me. just felt half dead all the time. I got no enjoyment from anything and could not ear or sleep or properly attend to my af- fairs.
 Even my mind was dull and my mem- ory very bad. l was as tired in the morning as when I went to bed and stayed that way all day My nerves were in a frightful state and the least little thing would upset me and make me very nervous.
 'I caught cold easily and had a poor ejaculation and very little strength My appetite was poor and when l did eat heartily l would be troubled with indi- gestion.
 "A short time ago I got some of this sTona Vita after talking with one of the representatives. The first thing l mo- ticed l began to sleep better and did not toss all night as formerly. Then my ap- petite began to improve, and my food did not distress me- I have grown stead fly stronger each day and now hardly seem like the same person.
 T have tried much medicine in the past, but nothing I have taken compared with this It has made me Into a well man when had about given up hope"
 The representatives who are introducing she new tonic in Birmingham say that several thousand people are now taking the tonic in this city.
 We are selling Tona Vita to a great many people here." said one of the rep resentatives recently, but when you think that this city has hundreds of de- bilitated, half sick people who would be immensely benefited by the tonic, 1t does not seem as if we are accomplishing as much we should. However, the demand is growing larger very fast as people who are taking the tonic tell their friends what 1t has done, and this does more than anything else to make people realize what a really wonderful tonic 'rona Vita Is.
 We will continue to meet all callers at the Collier Drug company, 109-l11 North Twentieth street, from 9 a. m. to p. m, as long as we remain in this city. If the tonic does not do all we claim for it the purchase price is refunded.
 Enthusiasm continues to prevail gen. sTona Vita has been used. The great amount of good which seems to have been accomplished is the cause of considerable excitement by those who have seen its wonderful work. Case after case of peo- ple who were comparatively nervous wrecks and those who have been sufferers from stomach trouble for years have been reported, and the results of 'Tona Vita were said to have been astonishing in nearly every case"

RIVER NEWS WILL
 INFLUENCE COTTON

New Orleans, April 14.--So far as can be forecasted now, the main influences in the cotton markets this wek will be river and weather news. River news probably will be given first place, because it is a more sensational feature than the wealth CT, although there is no question that weather over the entire cotton belt Is of more importance than are the overfows in the Mississippi.
 Reports of more over1ows, while rather senerally expected, are not discounted by the recent advance in the near futures in the opinion of leading brokerage houses, and will be followed by higher prices. The bear side is putin gout strong literature in regard to overfowed lands, in which it is claimed that as yet the overfiows have not .done the slightest harm. They con- tend that if the floods subside soon enough early varieties of cotton may be planted and a larger than ordinary yield secured because of the well known fertilizing qlal- ities of the silt in the river water. Whether the overfows are bulish or bcarish the bears claim it is all a matter of how lon gthe water remains, and they point to enormous crops that have been raised in former years from late planted seed on overhowed lands to prove their contention. . The weather Is now of the highest inn pcrtance.
 Too much rain and too low temperatures have held on longer than anyone expected. While much cotton is up in the southern section sof the belt and great deal of blowing has been done everywhere, there are still many sections that are far be- hind in their preparations, and the claim is made that the backwardness has been
 increased by the weather of the last week What Is needed almost everywhere in the belt is warm, dry weather. Con tinred wet and cool weather must result in higher prices.

It seems probable that the delegation will not go to the capital in a body. However, Tuesday night at Montgomery the meet ing will be held, and 1t is probable thae the unit rule will be adopted.
 The Pefferson delegation consists of Gl members, and will be by far the strongest, numerically. in the convention. It is indicated that Robert N. Bell. chairman of the county executive committee, will be elected chairman of the delegation.
