JAMES SHADE WARNS
HYSL0P OF EVIL SPIRIT

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Dr. James H.
Hyslop, of the American Society for
Psychical Research, makes the statement
that he had received a private message
from his friend, William James professor
of philosophy at Harvard, who died about
three years ago, warning him of an evil
spirit or influence, a "poltergest," which
cunnlngly leaves razor blades and matches
IN places where they might do the most
harm; an evil shade which turks in the
dark and hurls WRISTBANDS and heavy
stones at the heads of true believers in
spiritualism.

President Taft
Once Vigorous.

In former days William Howard
Tafts backbone was rigid and his spirit
American. He said some vigorous
words 1t is pity he ever spoiled them
by saying any more.
In his memorandum approving the
canal bill. by way of comment on the
British protest. the president said that
If the justice Of that protest was adj
mitted the only conclusion 10 be drawn
was that although the United States
owns. controls and has paid for the
canal. it is restricted by treaty from
aiding it's own commerce in the way
that all the other nations of the world
may freely do"
After presenting arguments appar-
entity incontrovertible, certainly so from
the American point Of view, the presi-
dent declared:
eff there is nothing in the Hay
Pauncefote treaty preventing Great
Britain and other nations from extend
ing favors to their shipping, using the
canal. and if there is nothing that gives
the United States the right OF super
vision. then the British protests lead 10
the absurd conclusion that this govern
ment in constructing the canal, main
tanning the canal, and defending the
canal. finds itself shorn Of its right to
deal with its own commerce in It's own
way, while all other nations using the
canal in competition with American
commerce enjoy that right and power
unimpaired"

working toward the same end and has
a sked the cooperation of the women's

such stations would save thousands

sanska in an address to the members of

day afternoon at the Atlanta Woman's
club. DR.. Visanska had been asked TO
address the meeting on the milk situa-
tion in Atlanta.
Too little attention is paid TO the
character of milk given to young ba-
bies" he declared in the course of his
talk. What Atlanta needs is certified
milk, which is protected from all the
dangers surrounding ordinary milk.
Other cities have seen the necessity for
certified milk, if the lives of children
are not to be needlessly sacrificed, and
Atlanta also should see this crying ne
cessity,"
