sion on leaders in congress. The events
Of that period when viewed in the light
Of the ambitious program that the
temperance advocates have set for
themselves in the immediate future
are causing much serious thinking and
some anxiety on the part of members
Of congress who look beyond their
noses.
In fact, many Of the leaders in the
national legislature believe that they
already see the prohibition question
looming as national issue. They fear
the time is near when constitutional
amendment providing for national pro-
hibition will be submitted by congress
to referendum Of the states.
Such an amendment Is now pending
in both the house and the senate, and
the promotion Of it through congress
is the accomplishment toward which
all the anti-liquor forces are looking
most hopefully. By many of the clev-
crest of the crusade leaders doubt is
expressed whether the time is yet ripe
for pushing the constitutional amend
ment resolution, or whether it would
be better to continue to strengthen the

ing additional states more definitely
into the prohibition column.
But that the test eventually will
come in congress and that the nation
al legislators will be subjected to pres
sure such as they have seldom If ever
experienced is the growing conviction
in Washington.
! The fear is expressed by leaders of
both parties that when the test does
finally come congress will do as it did
in two important instances last year
when called on to pass upon the liquor
questions disregard its own conyic-
lions and vote to appease public
clamor.
It has long been matter Of COM
ment in Washington that the only way
In which temperance legislation can be
prevented in congress is by holding
the bills in committee and by keeping
them from the floor of the house or
senate. When the average member of
congress is face to face with the liquor
question and delegation Of temper
ance advocates he may drink like
fish himself, but he will promptly re-
cord his vote in favor Of the drys.
That at least was the history OF, the
two most important developments Of
the past year in congress. The passage
Of the Jones-Works excise law for the
District Of Columbia and the enact
ment ofsthe Webb Kenyon law to pro-
hibit the shipment Of liquor into prohi-
bittOn territory for sale were regarded
by the temperance crusaders as red let
ter events on their last years calendar.
They were elated not only over what
the laws might accomplish, but over
the way in which their enactment dem
onstrated the hold Of the ants upon
the national legislature.
The ease with which the passage Of
these laws was obtained has also left
its impression on congress. Few mem
bers dared to oppose the measures in
the open, and both went through by
overwhelming votes, the Webb-Ken-
yon bill over the veto of President
Taft The opposition was confined
chiefly to the committee rooms, but
when the bills were pushed into the
open members lined up quickly in ia.

GIRL CRIPPLE DROPS
CRUTCH after DREAM.
Helpless For Two Years, She
Suddenly Begins Walking,

New York. Impressed by a vivid
dream in which she saw herself throw
away her crutches, Helen r. Scott,
paralyzed since 1912 and described by.
specialists to be hopelessly crippled,
walked to school from her home. She
expressed a desire to enter the gym
nasium class Immediately, but her par
ents objected.
In January of 1912 Miss Scott, who
is fourteen years old, returned from
Sunday school and complained of her
legs hurting her. In few days she
was unable to walk and was pro-
nounced a hopeless cripple, suffering
from infantile paralysis. The family
Immediately called specialists, but all
shook their heads and stated they
could do nothing for the child. For
| months Miss Scott was wheeled about
her home in a chair and was often
called "the sunshine of the neighbor-
hood"
Her school classmates had aided in
, caring for her and had taken. turns in
wheeling her about the streets in
|
wheel chair her parents provided for
her. Her birthday is Dec. 26, so last
Christmas her parents rendered par
ty to her girl friends. She attended
1t on crutches, which she had learned
to use. That night the girls united
in wishing her better health and the
recovery of the use Of her legs. The
next morning Mrs. Scott was told by
her daughter that she had dream
that she could walk.
For several days she talked Of the
dream to her family and friends. One
night soon afterward Mrs. Scott heard
a noise in the room occupied by the
cripple and, running upstairs, was sur
prised to find her daughter standing
alone. In one corner Of the room lay
the discarded crutches. Miss Scott was
able to walk without assistance and
finally regained strength enough to
venture into the street.
Finally she walked quite little dis
lance from her home to the Teachers
training school of Jamaica, where she
has entered as q student She says she
will soon begin dancing lessons.

cal care and constant nursing supervi-
sion.
Eleven Of the families, containing
twenty-three tuberculous persons,
twelve of whom were wage earners,
were discharged during the year.
Six of the eleven families were re-
habilitated physically, socially and
economically.
The five other families of the eleven
had to be dismissed from the colony
because Of persistent intemperance or
refusal to follow advice. But their
condition, it is stated, was improved
In consequence Of the treatment.
No new case Of consumption devel-
oped after admission to the colony.
OF the adult patients 81 per cent ap-
parently were cured, % per cent ex-
perienced an arresting of the disease
and II per cent were much improved
In only four cases was there no prog
ress. Three of the four were sent
away for refusing to follow advice.
The fourth case ended in death. The
patient had been in an advanced stage
when admitted.
OF the sixty-6ve children and sixteen
infants eighteen were consumptive,
twenty-three were suspicious cases
and the rest had been exposed to the
disease. Although practically all of
the children were undeveloped when
admitted. they all reached in six
months their normal weight for age.
The cost Of the experiment for the
year in this colony of twenty-seven
families was $2O,217, as against $685.

and the well members in homes. asy-

ordinary circumstances would devolve
upon his son, Prince Miguel and hus-
band of the former Anita Stewart, who
would thereby receive the honorary
title Of queen" In view Of the fact
that Prince Miguel has married a wo-
man not of royal birth, his claim as
pretender has been set aside in favor
Of his younger brother, who is now
seven years old. Thus the hopes of
Anita Stewart of becoming queen of
Portugal are blasted forever.
This arrangement was adopted at a
meeting of the Braganzas in Vienna
and followed the announcement to all
the courts Of Europe that Manuel had
renounced his claims to the throne
upon his marriage to Princess Angus
tine of Hohenzollern at Sigmaringen.
Manuel thereby carried out the wish
Of his father-in-law, who refused to
give his daughter under any other con-
ditions, as he feared that bloodshed
would accompany any attempt on Man
uel's part to regain his throne, and he
did notwish his daughter to run the risk
Of falling into the hands Of the mob.
In so doing Manuel cut himself off
from the purse of King George, who
only recently learned the facts. The
official order depriving Manuel of his
title in England stated that 1t was
done on account Of the internal con-
ditions in Portugal"
It is well known that Manuel,
through his apathy in regard to regain
ing his throne, hasslost the sympathy
Of King Alfonso of Spain and host
of royalists who would have been will
ing to follow his lead. These follow
erss will now. flock to :thes standard Of
the Braganzas. There is no reason
to believe that the new pretenders to
the throne Of Portugal will take any
decisive steps in the near future, as
it is expected in many quarters that
the republic of Portugal is nearing Its
end of It's own accord.
Anita Stewart is the daughter of
William Rhinelander Stewart and was
married to Prince Miguel of Braganza
on Sept. Is, 1909. Her mother, after
her divorce, married the late John
Henry Smith. Miguel was at the time
Of the Portuguese revolution spoken Of
as substitute for Manuel.
