WARNING AGAINST QUACKS
Health Department Tells of
Consumption Remedies

In an effort to Offset the influence OF
quacks and so-called professors who
advertise sure cures for consumption, the
Department of Health is issuing in large
quantities a pamphlet disclosing the ma
ture OF some OF the remedies
There Is no specific remedy that will
cure consumption" says the pamphlet.
THE recognized treatment for consump-
ton is rest. with plenty OF fresh air and
enough good, wholesome food. No medi-
cine is necessary except in cases where
other diseases are present"
The consumptiye IS usually hopeful, the
department circular declares. and this
brings with It a certain willingness to be-
lieve what is told him In regard to the
nature OF his disease and the method OF
treatment, and often leads him to try
patent medicines and advertised cures as
means Of relief. The patient Is losing
valuable time while taking the so-called
"cures." the pamphlet declares.

of the restaurant when the fire began.

was being taken into the front Of the
building by fremen. Father Mclean,
the Fire Department chaplain, took
Miss Sheehan in charge and cOmforted
her until she was in suitable condition
to go home in a taXicab. She said Mrs.
Gilman had two children dependent on
her for support.
Chief Kenlon, in citizens clothes, was
on the scene when second alarm was
turned in. He said last night that If
the firemen had received correct in
formation the ladder could have been
instantly placed in front of The build

blaze under control. 1t went through
the building like smoke up chimney

out the ground floor. The damage -
estimated at $4,000. The building Is
one Of the oldest in Park Row and Is

The Motor Launch Sinks.

Despite the efforts of the man at the
wheel to hold the boats head TO the
wind. she veered around, presenting
her broadside TO the rollers. The next
instant an unusually heavy sea swept
the launch from end to end, putting
the motor out Of commission. The
boat, now helpless, drifted aimlessly
at the mercy of the crashing waves
and finally turned completely over and
sank.
Just what happened then Schelner

struggling in the water, with his

treachery of John D. Rockefel-
ler's preacher come-on, the Rev.
Gates, was exposed, that the
world had heard of the lowest de-
graduation to which a minister of
the gospel could sink.
Apparently this was a mistake,
as a study of the testimony of the
Rev. Clark Carter, city mission
aryp of Lawrence, Mass, before
the House Rules Committee will
show.
Carter will be remembered as
that city missionary who once
before tried to make himself use
full to the Lawrence mill owners,
and only succeeded in perjuring
himself.
That was when the children of
the strike" were on trial in the
Lawrence police court on the
charge of being in state of ne
glect". The prosecution called
Garter to the stand.
Carter then swore that the
children of Mrs. Brown, a widow,
we're dependent children, and that
Mrs. Brown lived only on charity
This statement of his, he after
wards retracted when faced by
Mrs. Brown and an attorney who
demanded proofs. Carter had no
proofs, and hismemory failed him
most signally under the questions
of the attorney.

Carriers testimony before the

not too low for children to go-to
work.
Don't you think that men
should be paid a sufficient salary
to enable them to keep their
children without putting them
to work before they are 10 years
of age?"
THAT would be all right if the
children could be kept occupied
and not allowed to run about the
streets, learning to become buns.
l think a child ought to be oc-
cupied. The child must do some
thing, either go fishing, or play
ball, or work in the mills"
Then you are not in favor of
children going fishing or playing
bali? You think they should work
in the mills ?"
"Oh, yes, I think they should
go fishing, but I think they should
have mental and manual training
as WELL.
Now, are not these beautiful
sentiments to come from a man
who dareS to call himself "city
missionary"
1t is not because he wants to
see the mill owners, who pay his
salary, make money out of the
ruined lives.of little children that
the Rev Clark Carter wants them
put to work asssoon as they are
fourteen years old.
Certainly not! 1t is because he
