one thousand lads and lasses into citi-

THE COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENSE. By Leroy
Scott Doubleday. Page & Co. New York
The author is to be congratulated. for
he has truly written a novel I must
freely confess that rarely have
glanced through a book which so thor
oughly has fascinated me as the "Coun-
sci for the Defense" Being born and
raised in Indiana, It is small wonder
that he so well knows and describes the
life In the little town OF the Middle West
and its political and social life. I do not
doubt that some OF the characters have
been taken from life. for the simple rea-
son that otherwise the author could not
have depicted them as he did.
The plot is strong. and above all II is
not fun OF impossibIlities such as we are
wont to find so often nowadays in Amer
lean novels. Leroy Scott has story TO
tell and he tells II, a plain. everyday tale
OF how matters social and political are
manipulated in small towns under boss
rule. II Is all so very natural that !
can but predict a fine future for the
author, that is, providing he does not
fall from grace and leave of telling an
unvarnished tale. substituting a lot Of
fantastic balderdash and sickening love
episodes or hair-raising villainies for his
beautiful, plain, everyday dictum.

tuberculosis is always present; its in

BACKACHE IS
A DANGER SIGNAL
Kidney Troubles, Bladder Dis.
orders, Rheumatism, and
Serious Diseases F Follow.

There are other symptoms, such as
pains in the region of the kidneys. ner-
vousness, dizziness, tired and worn-out
feeling. weak bladder. painful. scaIdy. or
urinary troubles, which are Just as dan
gerous, for the slightest kidney derange-
ment, if neglected. may develop into the
deadly Bright's Disease, Dropsy, or
Diabetes.
1t is not only dangerous, but needless,
for you to suffer and endure the tor
lures of these troubles. for the new dis
covery. Croxone, quickly and surely ends
all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy
known for the permanent cure of all
forms of kidney. bladder trouble. and
rheumatism than this new scientific
preparation, because it removes the
cause. 1t soaks right into the kidneys
through the walls and Innings, cleans
out the clogged-up pores, neutralizes
and dissolves the poisonous uric acid
and waste matter that lodge in the
joints and muscles and cause those ter
rible rheumatic pains. and makes the
kidneys filter the poison from the blood
and drives it out of the system.
Three doses of Croxone a day, for a
few days. is often all that is ever need
cd TO cure the-worst backache or over
come disagreeable urinary disorders. and
you can take IT with the utmost conf
dence that nothing on earth will so
quickly cure the worst case of kidney,
bladder trouble. or rheumatism.
You will find Croxone different from
ell other remedies. There is nothing
else like 1t. 1t is so prepared that it
is practically impossible to take it into
the human system without results. An
original package costs but a trife at any |
first-class drug store, such as O'Don- |
nelrs Drug Store, Ninth and F Streets, |
who will personally return the purchase |
price if Croxone should fail in a single |
ease. !

INEBRIETY PROBLEM
FOR NEXT GENERATION

The problem of inebriety will be Solved
to a large extent. at least. in so far as
the next generation is concerned. by the
social work which is so well started in

Boston, who read a paper on Social
Work and the Prevention of Inebriety,"

a corrective influence yet TO be man
ifested. but which he says will have
very forceful effect in solving this prob
lem is TO be expected from the religious
world.
Much is to be expected. he said, also
from a specific direction of the force
of religion against alcoholism. a new
ethic and new casuistry is needed to
conform to present-day knowledge and
experience. This would clear religion OF
much of the unrestrained and misguided
action which has characterized il in re-
la ation to this problem; and make its ef
forts in the end vastly more effective"

GOVERNMENT LICENSES
FOR RAILWAY employees

That the time is not far distant when
every engine pulling a train in interstate
commerce will be directed by an engineer
holding Federal license was the predic-
| ton of J. D. II. Hamilton, OF the Atche-
son. Topeka and Santa Fe Railway sys-
| TEN. before the section on hygiene Of
traffic and transportation Wednesday
morning.
Mr.. Hamilton said that there was no
more reason why the Federal govern
ment should not take upon Itself super
visory functions in regard to railroad
employees than with regard to railroad
equipment and appliances.
Mr.. Hamilton dealt particularly upon
the education. care, and health of the
employees.
THE government" he said. ''compels
these men to go before an examination
board and pass an examination. and il
they prove competent a license Is issued.

sary requisition. and hereby prophesy
that it will not be many years until every

DR. Francis Dennison Patterson. chief
surgeon OF the fnlladelphla and West

alysis OF the report Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission on railway accI-
dents and casualties showed that by
far the greater number of these injured
persons employees of the railways.
and that the percentage OF accidents to
these employees is increasing every year
a paper by DR.. Gave. railway physi-
clan, Of Stettin. Germany. on what has
been undertaken in Germany and other
countries for the restriction of alcohol
ism among railway employees. was read
by Prof Reid Hunt. of the Hygienic
Laboratory. United States Public Health
Service. DR.. Cages paper showed that
in Germany the restrictions were most
severe. and a comparison OF the facts
given by him as to other European coun- |
tries, with a brief resume offered later !
by Prof. Hunt. indicated that the Unit |
ed States is far in advance of other !
European countries, and possibly Of /
Germany itself
In Norway there are a few legal re-
striCtions. but the railroads encourage |
by large annual appropriations. temper
ance associations to work with their ,
employees. In France. the engineer is pro-
hibited from entering cafe or restau-
rant while on duty. In England. there is .
apparently no ironclad inhibition against
the use of alcoholics by trainmen and |
engineers on duty.
