negie absolVed Emperor William Of
responsibility for the European war
ON his arrival here from England ON
board the Mauretania.
Knows Kaiser Well.
II know the kaiser well," said Mr..
Carnegie.
He is the most sorrowful man In
Europe today. The emperor went to
sea for a vacation. He was on his
yacht when he heard of the trouble.
He got into communication with Ber-
lin. He was called back and went
with all speed. When he got there
the mischief was done.
Thinks Ministers Responsible.
His ministers are responsible for
the entire affair. The German en-
peror has done more for developing
Germany than any other ruler of his
time. He has made schools, he has
pensioned the working classes, and he
has helped the laboring man. Kaiser
Wilhelm came into power and found
Germany, under Bismarck, an unciviI-
ICED community.
Things have taken such turn that
/ believe Sir Edward Grey said exact
ly the right thing when he made the
statement:
I'VE are not fiaIting the German
people, but German militarism.'
Critieises German MiIitarisnr.
German militarism overrules the
great men of Germany. The great
| men OF Germany are not members of
the court, but are scientists, philoso-
pliers and the real leaders of Ger
many's progress.
1.-THE rulers of the world gathered
around the men who feel that they
also have a tenure of Office and form
these military cliques, such as was
formed in Germany, and they took
such action as instigating this war dur
ing the absence OF the kaiser himself
Compliments Edward Grey.
Nov that the war il on, am de-
lighted to find that Britain has as
great and able man as Sir Edward
Grey. He Is a man who viii lead them
In the right way, he is q man who does
not say things without meaning them.

Mr.. Carnegie expressed his pleasure
over getting back to America.
ITO get back to republic at peace,
and a country OF the brotherhood of
man, is wonderful" he said.

IF ANYONE doubts the urgent need

IF ANYONE doubts the urgent need
Of effective measured for redrr-
ing the number of detectives In
this country, let him copsosi ,.4asu
pertinent facts: The number Of In
sane, imbeciles, inebriates and crimi-
nails is steadily increasing; and all
these conditions are the result of bad
heredlty. Or, stated in another way,
If none of these conditions existed
at the present time they would not
exist in the future, excepting the
negligible numbers caused by in
juries.
The study Of heredity is making
tremendous strides these days. And
one Of the facts 1t has established
beyond dispute is that feeble-mind-
edness is hereditary, and transmits
sible to offspring In exact proportion
to the mental capacity of the parent
Thus IL both parents are feeble-mind-
ed all of their children will be de-
fective without exception. Even
when one parent is normal, and the
other is feeble-minded, a large pro-
portion Of their children will be de-
fectiye, and none Of the others will
be exceptionally bright.
Prof. II. H. Goddard, who has
charge Of the institutions for mental
detectives at Vineland, N. j., has
spent many years In proving these
facts. Some Of the evidence he pre-
sents is most convincing. For exam
pie, he has the record Of Revolu-
tionary soldier named Martin Kalli-
kak, who first married an imbecile
girl, and later a normally-developed
woman. Both women bore him chill
dren, whose descendants have been
ferreted out after years Of patient
toll by Prof, Goddard, The imbecile
girls direct descendants number 4S0,
the normal woman's 496. There arc
144 feeble-minded. and only forty
four normal children recorded in the
imbecile wife's line OF descendants,
while no case of feeble-mindedness
is recorded among the descendants
Of the more fortunate woman.

USE OF SKINNED MILK IN
FEVERS.

MN EASTERN clinician, who has
~ been making some exhaustive
studies Of various diets, offers
some useful suggestions in the treat
ment OF fevers. Solid foods should
not be taken during an acute febrile
attack Of any kind. The tolerance
for starchy foods during fever is
limited and in many cases contra
indicated, Fat in the form Of butter
or cream may be harmful; but skim
med milk diluted with an equal
quantity Of water may be used free
ly and In many ways, Thus a farina
or oatmeal cruel, or a barley Cruel
made with diluted skinned milk is
we'll borne, and can be made very
appetlzlng, Fruit juices, particularly
orange juice and pineapple Juice, are
'seful In duenching the thirst; but
vater' and plenty OF II, Is the stand
Wy, and has the advantage Of being
lightly laxative in febrile conditions,
By this method Of feeding the patient
receives a very low percentage Of
sugar and casein, and practically no
Fat.

"sUNBURN" THAT DOESN'T CoATE
OFF,

A NEW variety of "sunburn" has
"a recently made its appearance
in California, and seems to be
spreading. The curious part Of 1t is
that person may get it without be-
ing exposed to the sun. But what Ia
even more peculiar Is the fact that
the burn" develops on the hands
and face, which are the parts usuab-
ly exposed to sunlight.
This peculiar condition may fol-
low what appears to be an attack OF
indigestion, or long period OF ner-
Ivousness, or nervous breakdown; or
1t may precede any Of these cOndt-
tons, In any event, it usually makes
its appearance as discoloration Of
the skin over the knuckles, the backs
of the fingers and hands, and on tho
forehead, the discoloration resent-
bling ordinary sunburn, but having
a peculiarly bronzed appearance.
This condition is not caused by sum
light, but is symptom Of the dan
gerous disease, pellagra.
This disease has been observed for
some time in the South. In that re-
gion II is found mostly among the
poorer classes living in bad hygienie
surroundings, and eating poor and
badly-cooked food. AS these people
live largely on corn meal, and as the
corn eaters in Europe are affected
with this disease, II was thought for
some time that this cereal was re-
sponsible for the malady. But this
belief has been discarded, and the
exact cause Of the disease is still q
mystery.
Recently the disease has appeared
in California, and seems to be max
ing headway. On this coast, how
ever, It is not confining its attacks
to the poorer classes, or to corn
eaters" but is invading the upper
walks Of life as well.

efficient electrical insulator and is
neither cracked by heat nor split off
by fatty acids. Paracit coatlngs, to
be dried in the air or in an oven,
are applied to metal objects by brush,
immersion or spraying methods and
II the material is intended to stand
high temperatures II Is subjected to
heat treatment Such coaungs are
being used not only TO resist acids,
alkalles and atmospheric influences,
but are being applied successfully to
