DIR. Rosenthal's Claim

DR.. Friedman, after holding the
center of the stage for quite a little
spell, has retired to his dressing room,
and DIR. Rosenthal Of Paris succeeds
the German behind the footlights. Dr.
Rosenthal pretends to have discovered
specific which will not only rout
tuberculosis but also will put to flight
lupus, adenite and meningitis. AS in
the case of Friedman, the medical
profession and the layman alike are
awaiting proof.
Gold tricyanide, says DR.. Rosenthal,
is the deadly enemy of the tubercular
microbe. One-half of milligramme of
this salt, he claims, is sufficient to
sterilize whole culture, while
larger dose, peculiarly, will have no
effect.
The patient will not be harmed by
the administration of the cure in the
proper quantities, the Paris doctor
contends, and he points out that
cyanide of mercury is habitually taken
in doses of centigramme without
evil results.
Humanity hopes that DR.. Rosenthal
has found the long-sought remedy for
the white plague. But humanity
doubts that he has. Many highly
recommended cures have been proven
valueless, but science continues un-
discouraged. In time the looked-for
germicide will be discovered. Small
pox, yellow fever, diptheria and other
diseases once so frightful in their
ravages have been conquered. That
consumption will eventually be curbed
is most probable.
Now that DIR. friedman has gone
back to his retorts and his turtles, it
is given out that his vaccine Consists
of homogeneous emulsion Of live
avirulent tuberculosis bacilli in sterile
distilled water"
Just think of putting that in your
system!

BANKS AND INDUSTRIES
indianapolis News.

From the indianapolis News.
Very few banks fail that confine
themselves to a banking business. But
the profits of promotion, speculation
and the operation of industrials are
very tempting, and a good many bank
ers suceumb to them. OF these, few
make n little, and not few lose enough
to terminate their care. rs
No commercial bank has any business
to be backing industries, because a con-
cern whose liabilities are payable on de-
mand must have assets that can be real
lied upon demand. 1t must have good
deal of ready money: its principal re-
source must be short-time commercial
paper. and 1t should have a portion of
its assets in stocks and bonds for which
there is a constant market and on which
the bank can realize without disturb
ing loans. Securities, no, matter how
good in the long run. which cannot be
instantly turned into cash, should be
held either not at all or only in very
small amounts by banks which are do
ing a commercial business.
Nine banks out of 10 that fail are
wrecked by loaning too much to sim
gle debtor. They are not very likely to
incur this risk unless the debtor Is a
firm or corporation in which the officers
of the bank are interested. SO that near
ly all bank failures are brought about
by advancing the funds of the bank, in
amounts exceeding the legal limitation,
to enterprises in which the principal
owner of the bank is interested. 1t may
be water works, or 1t may be terminal
railroads, or 1T may be wooden mills;
no man has any right to lend the funds
OF his bank to himself; and this, with
more or less disguise OF crcumlocu-
tion is done by banks controlled by
one man or group of men who also
have outside interests. Not infrequent-
ly these men become bankers in order
to have the deposits of large bank
to draw upon.

POisOns and Medicines

Hardly has the country had time to
congratulate itself upon the safe and
sane Fourth when the wall of lamen-
tation is heard again all over the
land, and this time it is from men
mourning for the death of their wives,
wives for husbands, children for
parents and parents for children, and
all because of the criminal folly of
mistaking poison for medicine.
Two bottles of equal size and shape,
one of them containing cough tabloids
and the other bichloride of mercury
tabloids, are placed side by side on a
shelf in bedroom. A man or woman
ortchild is seized with a fit of cough
ing during the night, the wrong tab
loid is administered and then the cor
oner is called in. This, in brief, is the
story of an occurrence which has be-
come SO compon of late that it has
ceased to cause more than passing
comment.

MODERN JEAN VALJEANS

The young man tried a number of ways
TO raise money but did not succeed. At
last he went to a notoriously tight listed
old man of money ON the North Side. lie
pleaded eloquently for first contribution,
ana second long loan at low interest. The
old fellow eyed him scoldly and at last
said: Il doubt that you can raise that
money any way or shape, smart as YOU are
reported to be. l tell you what IN do. IL
you come to me next Friday night and
show me $4,000 in cash--not promises-I'I
loan you the other $1,000 for 10 years at
your own rate of interest. Let's see il
you're the man they claim you are
The young mans pride in his reputation
led him to err. He was employed in a
bank He had five days to meet the old
mans offer. In four days he had coaxed
and cajoled church folk into handing him
$500 cash. Not another cent could he
raise even with fine tooth comb. He
grew desperate through pride of his repu-
tation and took $500 fran the bank from a
fund that would stand the withdraw wal for
just one week
Friday night he went to the old man and
word and wrote him check for $1,000
more forthwith The $4,000 was taken
to the church's creditor, who received it
with great surprise, as he expected ex-
cuses and pleas for time. Said he: II
pressed you for this money because
needed 1t badly and would have made
trouble for you il 1 hadn't received it. But
that was a week ago. I am out of inafi-
cial difficulty now. I congratulate you
on your energetic raising of the amount
"Then-as 1t has been an awful strain on
some of the givers to contribute this
money-let me have $500 back at your
usual rate of interest, payable in two
years. Some of the men from whom got
the money let me have 1t as a favor to me
alone and depriving themselves greatly.
We can make up this amount in two years
easily"
Most assuredly," said the church's
creditor. So the ehurch's obligation was
met and the young trustee put back the
$500 in the fund from which Il was taken.
His associate trustees praised him to the
limit and worked with tenfold yigor to
clear up the short time $500 debt 1t was
paid off in one year. The identity of the
| unknown giver was never asked. 1t was
sacred secret. The conscience of the young
trustee bothered him at times, but as he
never did anything like it again he came
to believe that in just this one instance
the end justified the means and that pill
fering for a laudabe object might not be
so sinful in the long run. Just before the
young trustee died of a sudden attack of
pneumonia he told the story to thesreetor
of the church. The one or two who heard
IL afterward quoted text: Judge not
lest ye be Judged

love to sit at the close of day,
When the light is merging into gray
Like the angry frown of a nearing

When the shadows take an eerie form.
For 1T seems as / watch the darkness

A voice that comes to my straining ears,
An echo over the gulf of years.
1t finds my heart, and 1t leaves me glad.

And little face DER the broad abyss
Bends down for gentle goodnight

That ever captured the heart of man
And held 1t thralled for a feeting span
Yet the vision seems but to mock the
joy
