PARSONS SONS MAKE GOOD.

That old Islander about ministrs' sons
and daughters turning out bad was re-
futed by arguments of plain facts and
genealogical statistics by the Rev. Rob
ert Hugh Morris in a sermon in the
Central North Broad Street Presbyter-
ian Church of Philadelphia.
THE last edition of Who's Who in
America said the Rev. Mr.. Morris,
gives 26885 names of noted Ameri-
cans. Of these 3,413 are clergymen,
and at least 1,1S5 are ministers sons,
at otal OF 4,59S, or II per cent.
"Of the ffty-one names in the Ma
tional Hall of Fame, twelve are from
ministers homes: Roger Williams,
Jonathan Edwards, William Ellery
Charming, Emerson, Holmes, Henry
Clay, Agassiz, Bancroft, Beecher,
Stowe, Lowell, and Phillips Brooks, be-
ing fifty times more than proportion
proper if other families measured up
to the standard
"Of our twenty-seven presidents
three were ministers sons, Arthur,
Cleveland, and Wilson The wives OF
five were ministers daughters: Mrs.
John Adams, Mrs. Willard Fillmore,
Mrs Franklin Pierce, Mrs. Benjamin
Harrison and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.

New York, Feb. 3.-The. market to-

dation which seemed to be induced by
the selling of March on the part 81

south continue to report a steady the

the market, however, continues steady

Have you ever been in a room where
there was some one sick and noticed
little soucers of ,disinfectants sitting
around the room?' Surely you have, for
il is a very common practice and it Is
just as worthless as it is common. For
a disinfectant to do its work, it must
be brought in concentrated form in di-
rect contact with the article to be dis
infected For a person to sprinkle
some chemical substance around the
room or burn just enough sulphur CT
formaldehyde candles to create a bad
odor and think the premises are prop
erly d.sinfected, is just as foolish as it
is for a big burly ostrich to stick his
head in the sand and suppose his en-
tire body to be hid This article, and
the one to follow it in few days, is
issued by the State Board of Health to
inform the people of our state along
these lines so as to aid them in their
fight against disease.
Cleanliness as obtained by frequent
use Of hot water and soap thoroughly
applied, is of considerable more value
than the imperfect use of the various
disinfectants without cleanliness. It
should be borne in mind that the direct
rays of the sun exert a powerful germ
icidal influence. While washing and
summing are of great value, they are
not always sufficient, or always appli-
cable. So to make assurance doubly
sure, the employment of high degrees
of heat or of some chemical substanc :
may become necessary. Boiling or
burning readily kills germs of all de-
scriptions, but freezing rarely, if ever
does so. Articles, therefore, which
have become contaminated and are of
small or no value, can be burned. Ii
the article is valuable, however, and il

How Loan Shark Got His Grip on a
Husband.

In the February American Magazine
appears an article entitled "A Poor
Mans Bank" showing how in Atlanta
a great fight is being made against
loan sharks by lending money on the
security of labor at reasonable rates.
W. Woods White, president of the bank
has been fighting loan sharks for years.
In 1908 he headed a grand jury when
investigated the subject He found
seventy-four loan sharks in Atlanta,
carrying thirty-fve thousand loans a
month, at annual interest rates of from
259 per cent. up to $500 per cent, with
$4,000 borrowers, the loans running
all the way from one dollar to one
hundred dollars. Following is oae
mans story of how he fell into the
hands OF the loan sharks:
q would see my wife starve, and
starve myself before I'd go through It
again" he said My wife had a baby
only two days old, when my house
burned up. Of course the shock to my
wife was terrible, and she became dan
gerously sick. I simply had to have
money to pay the drug and doctors
bills, and so l borrowed from the only
source l could, a shark. l borrowed
$40 and paid "a month interest. Out
Of my salary Of $65 a'month as a rail
road yard-hand, with a sick wife AMI
baby and my house just burned, yo
can see 1 couldn't pay any of the priG-
cipal My debts increased, indeed, til
at the end of two years 1 was in $241
to the sharks and paying $24 a month
interest, or considerably over a third
.of my earnings, for l was SO broken u
by worry myself by now that l lost
time through my own sicknesses.
Finally I could pay no more and the
sharks were about to put me in jail
when Mr.. White and his bank saved
