FIRST CLEAN THE SYSTEM
Thing to Do In the Instant That the
Presence of tuberculosis Is
Suspected.

The fever Of consumption is not pri-
marily due to the presence OF the tu-
bercle bacilli in the system. Indeed
unless there are other conditions
which cause the bodily temperature
to rise it is inclined to be sub-normal.
One of the interesting revelations
of modern medicine is the fact that
these germs may exist long time in
the human body without there being
any rise of temperature whatever.
This is plainest seen in a tubercular
abscess, but 1t is also seen in the
many cases in which for long periods
there is no fever. What does cause
the fever in the earlier stages is a dis
ordered state of the alimentary canal.
The stomach and bowels become de-
ranged and full Of toxins which. be-
coming absorbed, poison the system
and cause the temperature to rise. For
years 1t has been the practice OF the
writer to reduce any temperature to
normal, especially during the first
stages OF the disease. simply by wash
ing out the stomach and effecting a
complete cleansing of the intestinal
tract. Later on the fever is due to
the absorption Of broken-down lung
tissue and to ptomaines, and 90 u
quite another story.
When, therefore, tuberculosis is sus-
pected the temperature should be
taken and II fever is present the per
SON should invariably go to his ply
sisian and have his digestive tract
thoroughly cleansed. when by proper
diet and outdoor life he will be able
almost certainly to overcome the pres
ence OF the tuberculous germs.

Threw Wooden Shoes at Bride.

In the shower Of missiles hurled
after the welded pair something
struck the settlement worker with
singing force. What on earth!" she
exclaimed; then quickly added: "A
wooden shoel Who ever heard Of
throwing a wooden shoe at bride?"
Most everybody who has attended
weddings in this part Of town has
heard Of It," said the officiating curate.
ut is the custom here to throw wood
en- shoes because at some time in her
life nearly every bride has worn a
pair. For the present generation they
were not her Sunday shoes, nor her
evening dress shoes, nor even her ev-
eryday street shoes, but around the
house and maybe to the nearby shops
in rainy weather she has clattered
around often enough in wooden shoes
to justify having a pair thrown at her
for old times sake. Boston Herald.

real explanation of this freak Of ma

you cannot find her, I'll have to get a
man-but prefer the woman, If she
exists"
Benjamin Holbrook had never been
married. At the age when other men
take unto themselves wives, he had
been too busy smoothing the path OF
the newly established firm Of B. Hol-
brook & Co. over the thorny ways
which infant industries must travel.
Matrimony, he had reasoned, must
wait upon success. Success he had
finally achieved, and now it waited
upon matrimony. II questioned, he
would not have been able to say
whether he had eluded matrimony or
matrimony had eluded him, but now,
at the age of forty, he was forced to
confess to his friends that while 1t
was still possible in his case, 1t did
not seem very probable.
Being a bachelor, he had never
been able to fathom the mental
processes which led girl to abandon
a comfortable salary in his Office for
the purpose of sharing the salary OF
a male worker in the same office, and
in much less degree had he been able
to understand the line of reasoning
which led the aforesaid male worker
to persuade her to do 80.
In employing ONCE help, the head
of the firm was able to discern merit
at a glance. All his male subordi-
mates had good qualities. The four
women who had reigned in brief sue
cession in the ONCE were all we'll en-
dowed in this respect-so well en-
dowed, indeed, that four of the male
subordinates had discerned their merit
even better than the boss, with the
result that for the fifth time in three
years that gentleman, with all a
bachelors dislike for change in the
existing order OF things. faced the dis
agreeable prospect OF becoming &C
customed, TO new stenographer. II
was this fact, coupled with the knowl-
edge that there were yet several I'M
married men N the once, all with
good qualities, that led him to issue
his edict concerning the age Of the
next woman who should grace his 60
tablishment.
Watsons advertisement brought
but one applicant to Mr.. Holbrook-
a handsome, somewhat sad-faced WON
an. whose gown OF black well became
the slender plumpness OF her ngure.

simply. Il have come In answer to
your advertisement for stenoga'

"Thirty-five years of age, or old

Jacob L. Kesner?
Do you remember Kesner's
name? Do you remember the
time when Wayman was making
his bluff about going after the
owners of tenderloin property?
When first Wayman made that
bluff he had warrants sworn out
for Harrison B. Riley and Justin
M. Dali, president and secretary.
of the Chicago Title & Trust Co.
In the warrant, -Wayman &C
cuses. Riley and Dali and the Chi
cago Title & Trust Co. of renting
the house at 1905 Armour ave
nue. for immoral purposes.
T. Two days later, Wayman made
crawling, abject apology
through all the newspapers to
Riley, Dali and the Chicago Title
& Trust Co.
Wayman said that he had made
mistake. That the Chicago
Title & Trust Co. did not rent
the property at the given address
and he Withdrew the warrant.
The Chicago Title & Trust Co,
made advertising out of that
strange mistake" of Wayman's,
They Haunted big advertisements
in the newspapers of their "vindi-
cation" by Wayman.
But when Wayman apologized,
he>was asked by The Day Book
who did own the property at
1905 Armour avenue, and Way
man answered:
Jacob L. Kesner."

at 1905 Armour avenue, but also
various other properties all in the
worst part of the tenderloin.
And The Day Book also found
that Kesner and the Chicago
Title & Trust Co. seemed to have
worked hand in hand in tender
loin properties.
Time and again in the county
records Kesner's name appeared
as grantor of a certain piece of
property in the tenderloin and
the Chicago Title & Trust Co.'S
as grantee, or the Chicago Title
& Trust as grantor and Kesner as
grantee.
In view of all these circum-
stances, in view of the present I'M
settled condition of the vice ques-
ton, is it not almost beyond be-
lief that, the jury commissioners
should have selected Jacob L.
.Kesner as a good man for the No
vember grand jury?

COMMERCE COURT
RULINGS REVERSED
United States Supreme Court Over
rules Lower Body in First Three
Cases to Be Appealed.

In the first three cases appealed from
the Commerce Court that have been de-
cided, the Supreme Court yesterday
Overruled the Commerce Court, reversing
its Judgment in each instance. One case
was that involving the coal carriers
Baltimore and Ohio. Central OF New Jer-
sey, and other roads that have been CIV
ing a special rate for transporting coal
to be used by the roads or certain con-
Meeting water carriers for steaming pur-
poses. In this case the Interstate Com
merce Commission held that the favored
rate given on such shipments OF coal
was an unlawful discrimination. and
made an order requiring the roads to
give up the practice. The Commerce
Court, on application OF the railroads,
issued an injunction restraining the In
terstate Commerce Commission from en-
forcing its order.
The Supreme Court yesterday reversed
the judgment OF the Commerce Court
and sustained the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Another case was the Proctor &
Gamble "demurrage case" In this case
the Proctor & Gamble Company OF Gin
cinnatI made application to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for relief against
thR "demurrage" charges imposed by rail-
roads on account OF private cars.
The third case, known as the Eagle
White Lead Company case, involved prac-
tically the same questions as did the
Proctor & Gamble case, arising out OF
q judgment OF the Commerce Court, de-
creeing an Injunction in a case in which
the Interstate Commerce Commission had
refused to grant an order prayed for by
shipperE
It was unusual for the Supreme Court
TO hand down opinions on any day OF
the week other than Monday. but this
course was decided on in view Of the
fact that there is only one other opinion
day, next Monday. before the adjourn
ment OF the court for the summer. The
greatest interest yesterday attached to
the decisions oyerrullng the Commerce
Court, but a number OF other important
cases were decided.
Chief Justice White OF the Supreme
Court, who delivered the opinion in the
Commerce Court cases yesterday, defined
the powers and authority Of that trt-
bunal. In effect. he declared that the
Commerce Court had taken to itself
powers not conferred by law. He de-
cIared that on the negative order the
Commerce Court could not substitute its
opinions for that Of the Interstate Com
mercs Commission.

POLICEMAN NABS
ALLEGEDSWINDLER
George Schumann, Charged with
Fleeing LOdging-hOuse Keepers,
Taken Into Custody.

After weeks Of futile work on the
part Of the police OF Washington, who
were unable to apprehend him, George
Schumann, allies George Soeknick. alias
George Smith. was arrested yesterday
by Sergt. Sanford. Of the Second Pre-
| cInct. charged with false pretenses. The
police have eight complaints against him
and more are anticipated.
Schumann's workings have been di-
rected at the proprietors Of boarding
houses, from whom, It Is said, his scheme
has been 10 rent rooms and proffer a
check as payment. The check always
has been for so. and the unsuspecting
proprietor has not hesltated to cash IT,
giving him the difference between the
rent and the amount OF the forged checE,
All the checks were made payable to
George Smith," and were signed Stein
way & Sons" The police claim TO have
in their possession fiye Of the worthless
checks.
Schumann met his Waterloo yesterday
afternoon when he called at a boarding
house in Twelfth Street Northwest, and
asked the proprietor to show him room.
He seemed much pleased with the lodg-
ings. Contrary to the other proprietors,
however. the woman refused TO accept
the check and dismissed Schumann. No
sooner had the man left the house than
she hASleneQ 10 4 IelepnOne ana nOI-
ned the police that the man the police
were looking Tor was in the nelghbOr-
hood. She gave a minute description OF
the forger. and Sergt. Sanford set out in
pursuit OF Schumann in the automobile
patrol.
When at Tenth and p Streets the police
man saw the man walking hurriedly
down p Street. Calling TO him to halt.
he jumped from the auto and started
after him. Schumann took to his heels,
however. and Sanford was compelled to
return to the auto and give chase in It.
Schumann surrendered when cornered at
Twelfth and p Streets. The police say
he has confessed to the charges filed
against him
The persons alleged to have been heeced
by Schumann, whose names the police
now have are as follows: Mrs. A. NJ
