DIR. Won Ruck of Ashville, N. c., does
i not share in the optimism of Senator
John w. Kern of Indiana and others
who declared that his treatment is a
cure for tuberculosis, and he asserts
that it is only preventive. There is
so much skepticism in medical and
government circles that it will be
doubtful if, when treatment really
comes along, that it will be recog-
nized as the prejudice against these
| claims is so deep-seated.
Great Boom for Grape Juice
/ Secretary Bryan has unwittingly be-
come the instrument by which the
manufacturers of grape juice are reap
I ing a rich harvest. Mr.. Bryan Sc
1 lected this temperance drink at his
first reception of diplomats, simply
as a Notwithstanding beverage though
the great son of Nebraska evidently
would imbibe just as quickly of gin
ger ale, pop, or even root beer. How
ever, the grape juice people have been
sending him all the special "brews"
manufactured, and the publicity
agents have not failed in single in
stance to tell all about it in the pub
I lie print.
Propose Energetic Publicity Campaign
1t is semi-officially stated that part
of the plan of the Democratic politi-
cal headquarters recently opened in
| Washington will embrace a regular
correspondence service to every Demo
cratic newspaper in the country, and
it is expected that some of the clever
gentry of the pen, who can write
lstrong partisan matter will enlist in
the work. At the same time the
Progressives are carrying service
to some of their party papers, and the
Republicans are. threatening to do the
same, should the time ever come when
the promised reorganization" of
their political committees can be car
ried into effect.
Arguing it Out With Japan.
Since Japan has ceased to carry the
impression that unless the California
land matters were settled at once,
kado's government, that war might
be The inevitable result, the argu-
mentative treatment of the subject
has assumed vast proportions, and the
correspondence between the Japan
csc government and our State Depart
ment is becoming massive and vol
luminous. Japan was rather late in
concluding that the United States is
proceeding in good faith, but that ap-
and the Mikados diplomats are max
ing the best of the situation.
Armchair Sailors Going To Sea.
The new Secretary of the Navy has
been very cruel with some of the
armchair sailors who have occupied
fat berths in the Naval Bureau for
years, and in the case of Lieutenant
Commander Hutch Gone it has been
decreed that before he can become
real Rear Admiral that a little duty
on sea will be good for him.
C. o. D. Parcel Post.
The latest innovation in the parcel
post is that after July list parcels
can be sent G. o. D. the same as is
the case of the express service. There
has been demand for this feature
as part of the work of the postoff1ce
for many years, but the change has
finally been brought about so quickly
as to startle the business men who
have, been pushing it before the post
office department.
The Slump In Stocks.
Men who have charge of govern
ment affairs have been very much
concerned by the rapid decline in
stocks and the announcement by Sec
rotary McAdoo, that he stood ready
to issue emergency currency to the
amount of s500,000,000 went a long
way toward relieving the business
world of uncertainty, and is inspiring |
1t is understood that
President Wilson is ready to avail
himself any time of the Aldrich-
Vreeland Act, which was passed in
1907, and which was designed by its
trainers to serve as an emergency
measure until the currency could be
revised and put upon modern basis.
1t has been explained that when the
bill was passed it was expected that
the report of the Monetary Commits |
sion would be considered, and that a
currency reform measure would |
shortly be placed upon the statutes.
However, the upsetting of political
conditions completely changed these
plans.
Colonel GoethaIs To Remain Supreme.
There has been no end of Specula-
ton as to he status of Col. Goethals
who is in charge of the Panama |
Canal, and the ambitious politicians
have been seeking to undermine him
with the new administration. How
ever. President Wilson and the War
have let it be known that |
they will carry out very much the
same policy as was pursued under
the Taft and Roosevelt administration,
in giving Colonel Goethals free hand
in the construction work on the 18th
mus.
Chief Points In Publicity Decision.
The Supreme Court of the United
States in upholding the legality OF
the newspaper publicity law decided |
that it was a regulation of the second
class mail privilege and not an
of the freedom of the
press. The law applies to $4,000
periodicals. 1t calls for semi-annual |
statements of ownership, circulation
and the names of editors and stock
holders. Religious, fraternal and
scientific publications are not aHect-
ed. All paid matter must be marked
