BILE is slight ache or pain in the loins.
Neglect of this warning makes the way
easy for more serious troubles-dropsy,

attention to the first sign. Weak kidneys
generally grow weaker and delay is often
dangerous. Residents of this locality place
reliance in Doan's Kidney Pills. This tested
remedy has been used in kidney trouble

VIM. E. Burford Dies On River Bank

William E. Burford, formerly prosper
Gus real estate dealer in Washington city,
died on the river bank at the foot of 23rd
street about $50 O'Clock last Friday even
ing. He was discovered in dying condi-
ton by passersby, who obtained aid from
the Emergency Hospital, but when the
ambulance arrived the man had been dead
several minutes. The police were notified
and arrived later to take the body to the
morgue.
A letter taken from his coat pocket,
dated February. 1910. contained the state
ment that he had suffered attacks of vertigo
and that he feared he would die suddenly.
The letter was addressed to his son, Law
renee B. Burford. a Baltimore railroad
agent and gave directions concerning the
disposition of his body.
The letter reads. in part. as follows
Dear Son Il am frequently attacked
by vertigo and have been sick frequently
in the past six months. am constantly
in fear of sudden death. Living alone as
do. am carrying this letter for delivery
to you in the event of such an occurrence
Should | die without funds for decent
burial, ask that you see to it that am
buried in st. Johns churchyard, Beltsyille
Nd. at the least possible cost, beside my
dear old mother.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad will
land me there in half an hour, and OH
family's old physician will show you where
to put me, and give you all aid in prepara-
ton. only want to give you this charge
in case of an emergency. Iwish an mex
pensive funeral and the simplest service
possible. ask this as the last and only
request of a lonely and brokenhearted
father, whose daily prayer is for your long
life, good fortune and happiness Lovingly,
your father,
WILLIAM f. BURFoRD."
The deceased, who was native of this
county, was graduate of Maryland Agri-
cultural College, and his family was well
known in Prince Georges and Montgomery
counties. His son took charge of the body.
He carried out his fathers request that in
terment be in St. Johns churchyard at
BeltSville.

From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Never again will President of the
United States stand for hours at bay while
a vast throng of people file past him through
the White House and grasp his aching
hand. An absurd custom, once dropped.
will not be revived however ancient.
George Washington would never have
endured a New Years reception of the
type recently familiar. His sense of fit
ness was too keen, his sense of personal
dignity too acute. Nor did the early oc-
cupants of the White House. who received
their guests from a Washington which
was but village, and those whom sloops.
canal boats and stage coaches could bring,
dream Of what the reception might become
in populous and railway grdled land,
when Presidents even of the stalwart ply
sique of Messrs. Roosevelt and Taft should
be laid up with crippled and bandaged
hands from the attention of too many
thousands of well-wishers.
The New Years reception has been a
nuisance not only to the President and his
family. but to a large number of others
compelled to attend against their will by
force of custom. 1t is well abolished. The
President is public official. The people
may know his views upon public questions
through messages. state papers and ad-
dresses They may view the public rooms
of the White House. Such of them as have
business with the President have no diff
Guilty in discussing it with him. But any
thing like social relations between one mar
and an increasing fraction of $4,000. 00(
is grotesquely impossible.

December Seventh To Be Annual
tuberculosis Day.
A. G. CARLISLE.
Gaithersburg. Md.

Sunday. December 7th. is the day which
has been set aside by the National Asso-
citation for the Prevention and Study of
tuberculosis, as Tuberculosis Day." and
an attempt is being made to have all the
churches in this county observe II in some
way.
Appeals are being made to clergymen
Of every denomination, urging them Ia
set aside some definite line during the
week preceding or the week following De-
cember 7th for lecture on tuberculosis.
The chief aim Of the National Associa-
ton is to secure the presentation in the
churches of the tuberculosis problem, and
the need for cooperation with the church
members and others. Last year over co.
900 churches gave attention 10 this sub
ject on tuberculosis Day. and we hope this
year to swell the number 10 100000.
The tuberculosis Day campaign will
come this year during the Red Cross
Christmas Seal sale. While the Tubercu-
losis movement is strictly educational. and
not for the purpose Of raising money, the
churches Of the county are urged to CO.
operate with the Red Cross Seal campaign.
An effort has been made TO notify every
clergyman in Montgomery county and TO
ask their aid in making the observance OF
tuberculosis Day universal. II, however
any clergyman has failed to receive the
required date on the subject the omission
will be at once remedied upon notifying.

TOO MANY COLLEGES?

When the annual report of the Car negie Foundation declares "one who examines with care the publications of even our best and strongest institu- tions will realize that conditions are seldom fulfilled it gives added weight to the statement in the year book of the commissioner of education of this country that there are too many col leges in the United States with in adequate equipment and support att tempting to give full courses for the bachelors degree; that much duplica- tion of work is going on and that there could be a profitable merging of exist ing institutions to the resulting bene- fit of the institutions and the com munity.
 The need of the higher educational institutions is recognized and the i'm pOrtance of getting the benefit of the additional knowledge which they dis pense cannot be too highly valued, but in education as well as in business there is reason to look to the elimina- tion of waste and duplication. Be- cause of the method of handling the educational problem in many of the states three or more state controlled or state supported institutions exist anu II IS III tiiFSS COttFSfS I1tdl COHQl- tions are often found under which the distribution and suS division of what would be q unified function of the state as a whole has led to in evitable waste. Higher education is something in which there should be no misleading enticements but all ef- forts made to overcome waste of eff ciency and waste of time, to the end that full value is given

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Glory.

What mankind wants most of all is glory. It means the deed the word or the state of being which shines
 The real hell of men and women is dullness, dryness, humdrum.
 The old painters put a line of light about the heads of saints. It was called a halo It meant there was something in the nature of these Su- perior souls that shone.
 Moses face shone when he came shone on the Mount of Transfigura- saint who, when praying in his lonely ous rays were seen issuing rom the cracks of the wall. Buddhist lore is full of shining ones.
 All this is an expression Of the deep conviction of the race that the high est state of man is when he shines.
 There is a great truth behind all these gropings. It is that the spirit of man craVes something that will make it glow.
 What we ask of you, poet is to give us this. We care nothing about your word juggling. Give us the luminous word.
 What the child asks of the teacher is this: not facts and precepts, but that something that shall make the young mind burn.
 What We ask of the preacher and prophet is not instruction; we know a deal now more than we can prac- tice but to make our souls burn within us by the way"

CRIME EPJDEMlcS.

Crime of all kinds seems to spread over the country in the form ofs an epidemic or as the result of suggestion to those who are in condition to make use of the form which appeals to them or by which they are inn pressed. This is to be noted by the series of suicides which followed the method of poisoning accidentally used by a south ern banker, and also by the almost daily appearance of a story of the destruction of an entire family. That such cases have an effect upon many people who are in a right con dition of mind to commit crime is un- questionable, but it is uncertain just what effect might be produced should such information fail to reach them many of the details of crime which go far beyond the necessary news limit for the satisfying of a morbid interest accomplish far more harm than good in the way of suggesting vice and crime.
 Ii has been a question of much de- bate as to how far playwrights should go in the problem plays how much in detail a robbery or arson should be described because of the effect which it Is liable to have upon minds wait ing to make use of just such details. Further, of course it is impossible to suppress news which has a proper regard for decency and facts. On weak minds sensational crimes undoubtedly have an important effect.

saIRrwAlsrs FOR POLICEMEN.

Periodically there has appeared a movement in behalf of the shirtwaist man but the police of Dubuque. Iowa. have become serious in the matter and petftioned for the privilege of discard srE part of their hot uniform during the =weltering weather. The appeal is ir the line of consistency. It is a re- quest which is within the bounds of <ocd sense and which cannot help arocsinE sympathy.
 t Is the radical departure from the stvfe of mems dress which makes it unusual al all As the Rochester Dem ocraf and Chronicle says: "No man dresses for the summer heat He goes into his office and takes of his coat srr sun he puts it on along with his high collar. and sweats and swelters until he gets to some cool room. when he removes his coat and the wilted col lar. and Is reasonable until he goes out Into the sun again Then he must put om his urcomfortab1ess Whether women vote or not. they know how fn Gresm fin summer much better than men. IL is said their new styles are Ideal for health. The styles of men are rtdicutcus.~
 The movement which the western police are seeking would inzugurate a much needed reform. Ii would be sn accordance with the decorum which not a few judges recognize in the court of justice as not being beneath it's dig ufty. There is no reason why the po- licn should not be as comfortably uni formed ns the letter carriers.

THE STAMFORD WRECK.

As previously said it was a most fortunate thing, in more ways than one that Engineer Doherty of the New Haven road was not killed in the Sramford wreck IL was an important aid to the investigation that he should be mTzlahle as a witness. There was nc@d for determining. and doing so rightly. just where the blame lay for the rafroad catastrophe without the unfortunate handicap of a dead engi- neer, on whom 10 throw suspicion.
 When the interstate commerce com rn1SGtnr fixes the responsibility upon the New Haven road and at the same tirna nnda that Engineer Doherty was not Unmpefert through inexperience and lack of instructions, it calls for the Introduction of reforms and i'm mediate readJustment of the operat- ing system of the road for the over coming of snch defects The commits sion places little weight upon the dec larar1on that the understanding with the engineers made it necessary to accept such men as Doherty without greater experience. The burden of re- sponsibility for his being in the en- zine cab Is placed upon the operating officials. as his conduct on runs pre- rious to the accident showed that he lacked the proper qualifications through his inability to handle the en- zine The equipment was such that i'm the hands of capable engineer the wreck should have been averted
 Even without the commissions re- port ft must be evident to the road that It's method Of placing engi- rseers in .he fast expresses must be reformed IL is far better to commit an error of judgment in keeping men out Of the cabs than in putting them in. and the New Haven road will un- occasionally do it's utmost in adopting and enforcing strieter regulations Let ft hN NnnNdilv 6nne
