Civil War claim fund of $4,000

of their Indebtedness to that fund
Under the laws governing the dis
tribution of school funds the hand
some sum of 1922, 70391 has been
distributed back TO the towns.
The towns which have not return
ed the money borrowed as indicated
are permitted to pay interest on the
same at the rate of per cent.
The Huntington fund of $211, 131.46
is still due from the State to the per-
manent school fund so that when we
say the State has no bonded indebted
ness, we overlook the fact that the
Huntington fund is a sacred obliga-
ton which must be met in some
form, even though bonds therefor
have not been issued by the State

Banker FInlay Seeks to Do Suffer
ing Humanity Great Service.

Il Charles E. Finlay, head OF the Act
ma Bank of this city has made a re-
markable offer-one. which, if the
results are what every one hopes,
will wipe out the most terrible di-
sease with which longsuffering hui
mainly has been afflieted-consump-
ton. Dr. Friedman, a noted German
physician, has discovered serum
which he believes and asserts will
cure tuberculosis DR.. Friedman has
tried it on a number of patients in
Germany and they have been cured.
He now charges that other doctors
are using what they allege is his
serum, whereas it Is not, and he has
warned physicians a other
countries to beware of the counter
! felt. Later on, of course, DR.. Fried
man will tell what his serum Is and
explain its use.
Mr. Fnilay is interested because
Rex Paris, his son in-law, is afflicted
with the disease. Mr.. Paris is a
young man, son of real estate oper-
ator of Long Island, and is at Sara
nae under treatment there. Mr..
Finlay offers $1,OO0,000 to DR.. Fried
man if he will bring his tuberculosis
serum to this country and cure Mr..
Paris and ninetyfour other patients
at Saranac. He is to treat 100, and
Mr.. Finlay will pay the $1,000,00O ii
95 per cent recover. Mr.. Finlay viii
pay all of DR. Friedman's expenses
about $S0,000-if he will attempt the
cure.
Mr.. Finlay takes his place among
true philanthropsts. Nothing is 80
appalling as the White Scourge, and
if Dr. Friedman, through the efforts
of Mr.. Finlay, introduces a positiv :
cure into this country, he will have
done an act that will entitle him 10
the gratitude of all nations.-New

aftermath of the November holiday.
