SELF DELUSlON.
Many People Deceived by Coffee.

We like to defend our indulgencies

convinced Of their actual harmfulness.
A man can convince himself that
whiskey is good for him on a cold
morning, or beer on a hot summer day
when he wants the whiskey or beer.
It's the same with coffee. Thou
sands of people suffer headache and
nervousness year after year but try to
persuade themselves the cause is not
coffee-because they like coffee.

The Court of Appeals Wednesday,
February 5, handed down decis
ION upholding the election held in
Muhlenberg on Sept. 2S, 1912, in
which the comfy was voted dry by
about four to one. The matter has
been carried through the courts by
the whisky interests, aud now that
the court o. last resort has rendered
the same opinion as that held by the
lower coGr;s, the Will of the pcoi lr
will prevail. Central City is the
only spot in the county where whisky ,
is sold, and will therefore receive

of The court. Thsre is some question
as 10 when the saloons must tc clos
ed. but it is generally conceded that
when the mandate of the court is re
ceived here and recorded that the
saloons must all close, irrespective
of the time when licenses expire.
This will mean that by April 20, at
the latest, the county will be dry.
The MAYOR, chief of police and city
officials CT Central City declare tha,
when the saloons close there, that no
illegal sales will be permitted, but
that the town will be kept clean and
straight. In this they viii have the
fullest support of the county officials,
who will work together in maintain
ing the law. There is general re
jpiciEg all over the county that the

PRESIDENT APPEALS
TO RAILWAY MANAGERS
White House Conference Being Ar
ranged Today with Hope of
Averting Western Strike.

That the threatened strike of 5000 rail-
way operatives on lines west OF the Mis-
sissippi River probably will be averted
was the opinion expressed In authorita-
tive sources in Washington last night. In
supplement to his verbal appeal AK
pressed to the managers of the railways
last night, President Wilson last night
transmitted to the managers. using for
mer Labor Commissioner Charles P.
Nell as his emmissary. a comprehensive
note setting forth his reasons for urging
them to concede all the demands of the
railway operatives as approved by the
board Of mediation and concIliation.
The operatives. headed by Chief War
rem s. Stone, OF the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers. will not visit the
White House again. II has been arranged
that today the managers and the media
tors will see President Wilson at an hour
yet to be designated. President Wilson
Is gratified at the attitude now assumed
by the managers and firmly expects that
today viii see an agreement on all the
points In contention and that there will
be no strike.
There were numerous conferences of
the managers at their hotel yesterday
the last extending well into the night
following the presentation Of the Presf-
dents note by Mr.. Neih BY agreement
none Of the railway managers would dis
cuss any phase Of the situation. The
exact hour of their appearance at the
White House will be settled after con-
ferring with the mediators and Secretary
Tumulty this morning.

sPoNGING ON THE DOCTOR.
The Community, ns Well as IndI-
yIduaIs, to Blame.

The earnings OF a large proportion OF
doctors in the United States are less than
that OF organized labor. asserts Dr.
Charles J. Whalen in the July issue OF
the Illinois Medical Journal Competent
authorities, he says, place the average
annual income Of physicians at 500 a
year. In the struggle for bread, the writ
er further asserts. the physician is Of
ten compelled to throw medical ethics to
the wind. for ethics and an empty
stomach, or an unpaid rent bill, do not
go hand in hand.
Tn writer does not indulge in idle spec
ulation as to what the cause of the low
income OF physicians is. He has moth
ing TO say about the subject OF too many
doctors-a subject which is debatable.
Instead. he points out some Of the
abuses from which phsicians suffer. And
all of the abuses can be summarized
under the head Of 'sponging." The ply
sician is being sponged upon not alone
by the patient who is careless about
paying his doctor bills, but also by the
community, by the State.
The trend OF civilization. Or. Whalen
thinks, is in the direction OF making the
healing OF the sick public duty rather
than a family affair. The work Of the
physician Is more and more becoming a
function of the State. 1t Is here that
the amount OF charity work physicians
are doing. Doctors, thousands OF them
in Chicago alone, are giving from two
to four hours a day, on two or three
days Of the week to free clinics, hospi-
tails and dispensaries- They not only
cure the city's poor sick, they educate
the ignorant masses of the community
In matters pertaining to health, and
thereby render invaluable services in the
field Of disease prevention. This medi-
cal aitruism saves thousands Of dollars
to the community and untold misery to
the poor, but II drives many doctors
either to desperation or else to quack-
cry and dishonesty.
A lawyer, says this writer. is never
required by the community to defend its
poor gratuitously. The same principle
should apply to physicians. Doctors
caring for the city's p6or should be paid
by the municipality. he argues, the same
as the charity organization workers who
care for the Door are paid for their
Tribune.

u. S. Army WEAK,
DECLARES WODD
Former Chief Of Staff Urges
Big Increase in Enlist
ed Strength.
NOT ENOUGH HAMMUNITION
Report DepIores Reduction of General
Staff and Makes Many
Recommendations.

A substantial increase in the enlisted
strength OF the mobile army Of the
United States sufficient for a. small ex-
peditionary force and the police work OF
the day Is strongly recommended In the
report of Mai. Gen Leonard Wood, for
mer Chief Of Stan of the army, in his
report, made public yesterday. The re-
port is for a portion OF the fiscal year
from July l. 1913. to April p. on which
date Gen. Wood retired from his assign
ment and assumed command of the De-
partment of the East
One hundred men is recommended as
the strength of each company Of infan-
try, and a suficient number OF infantry
companies to complete three tactical d.
visions Of the army is asked
Twelve BataIIions Needed.
In order to bring the field artillery to
the proper strength. twelve additional
battalions will be needed. The engineer
troops must be increased by seven COM
panies. In the infantry increase. Gen.
Wood points out, 1t will be sufficient only
to man garrisons at Panama and Hawaii.
or a total Of ten regiments.
Gen. Wood strongly urges that the
present shortage in field artillery, guns.
and ammunition be speedily remedied.
No amount Of money or energy could
overcome this handicap in time Of war,
the report states.
Recent legislation which depleted the
number of officers assigned to the Gen.
eral Stan is deplored, and an earnest plea
for the restoration OF the full personnel
is made in Gen. Woods report Some
system for acquiring an organization Of
reserve officers Is asked. Those reserve
officers could command militia and vol
unteer organizations in time of war and
would be of great value to the service.

SEVENTY PER CENT OF
N. KIDS DEFECTIVE
Bad Teeth. Hypertrophied Tonsils.
Poor Breathing. and Impaired
Vision Among the Ills.

New York, Aug. 2-An astonishing es-
innate has just been made that out Of
the total enrolment Of SS5.57 children
IN New York City's public schools ST.
2F. or practically 20 per cent, have
some physical defect.
While this report Is not the result of
an examination OF every child it Is pre-
sumably correct. It has been possible
for the medical star to examine only
336. .17s out Of the entire number, but
OF these .432 were found to have the
ordinary physical defects
Based on this percentage the defective
total would reach 81. III. Defects as to
teeth outrank all others, no less than
19I. .eO7 Of those examined suffering from
this cause
Next in order comes hypertrophied ton
sils, accounting for sass cases De-
fective nasal breathing, 29.507 cases, is
third. closely followed by Z7.sH cases
of defective visian. Malnutrition, ortho-
paedic defects. cardiac diseases, nervous
diseases, defectice hearing and pulmon-
ary diseases account for the remainder
As q result Of this showing a closer
medical inpection of school children Is
considered necessary and for this rea-
son It Is likely that more than $50
900 will be spent In this work IN the
next year.
The appropriation asked for this year Is
sSs4.s7o, an increase Of more than t11aooa.
