Praises Twilight Sleep .

Mrs. Ernest S. Bates, of Montclair,
in a communication to the New York
Evening Sun, strongly praises the
"Twilight Sleep" This communica-
ton, published in last evenings edi-
ton, says:
"Surely If there ever was a drug
whose use should be cried out from
the housetops, scopolamine is such a
drug. If the vast body of American
physicians have not yet learned to
handle the drug successfully 1t is
time they did so. In such discus
sion particular instances are of more
value than vague CONGRATULATIONS;
hence | may be permitted to cite my
own case.
LUCKILY for me, it is not entirely
true that the wonderful results
achieved in Freiburg cannot also be
obtained in this country. My baby
was born in Phoenix, Ariz, under
the care of two American physicians,
with all the benefits of the German
clinic. After the preliminary pains l
was given the first injection. inside

Scopolamine is not a dangerous
drug. Every competent obstetrician
who understands the use of drugs
could employ scopolamine success
fully.
"A method that will produce pain

1t does not matter whether the con-

as the American women understand
that they can give birth to children
without pain, every doctor will be
forced to use scopolamine in his prac-
tice.'

moderate and lenient reading of the
law would reasonably permit. A

THE HORSE is STILL IN EVIDENCE.

The fact stated in the statistics of the Carriage
Builders National Association that more than mil
lion and quarter horse-drawn vehicles were manu-
featured in the United States every for the last
eight years is surprising in view of the
Der of motorcars made during the same period. The
current belief has been that the motorcar had SO
largely supplanted the horse that the manufacture of
carriages and other vehicles, horse drawn had had a
heavy decline.
The opening of Latina American markets to our
trade under the great advantages conferred by the
will be immense benefit both to the motorcar and
carriage industries. Before the Civil War the manu-
facture of carriages very important industry in
Newark, which it's carriages to all parts of the
country and largely to the South. AS the demand
from South America will mostly be for horse-drawn
vehicles, Newark may witness great revival of the in
dustry to make city centre for it.

As We Have often Said.

From the New York sun.
Whenever the colonel discusses the
tariff as he did yesterday in Louisiana,
he Eliminates a subject which less
wise and daring statesmen not infre-
quently obscure by their outgivings.
With respect of it, the Republicans
are hopelessly wrong; the Democrats
are viciously ignorant; only the col
onel knows. This much he confesses
with that reluctant self-depreciation
which so well becomes him.
There have been three distinct
periods in the colonels progress to-
ward his present assurance as to the
tariff problem. The first of them COW
ers the days when free trade was
proud to enroll him under its banner.
The third is the final period, in which
commission engages his ardent de-
votion.
The second period? Alasl The Sec
ond period was one of transition,
doubt and perplexity, If doubt and
perplexity ever have assailed the coll
onel, and it is the lasting misfortune
of his countrymen that this interval
included the seven years, five months
and eighteen days of his administra-
tion as President, during which he did
nothing to settle the controversy.
How happy the nation might be If the
DAYS of the colone's ascendency had
only conceded with one of his eras of
confidence on this vexatious question!

In a Western store which caters to
women / saw this sign among the
rules for employees:
Threat Every Customer AS Though
She Were Your Mother" Just think
what would happen to a store in a
big city if every clerk and every EN-
ploye treated every customer with
the same courtesy, the same kindness,
the same consideration, as every one
ought to treat his mother. There
would probably be such crowd OF
customers in a store like that that
1t would be difficult to wait upon
them. A simple rule like this would
revolutionize any business establish
ment in year.
1T cannot too strongly impress upon
young men, said Mr.. Williams, late
president of one of the largest banks
in New York, "the absolute indispen-
stability of politeness. II

And the lust TO kill makes the mountains thrill
And the valleys in pain.
They reapng Europe the fruit of thousand years.

THE ozAR,s ANIMUs FOR BERLIN.

The Russian minister of war is quoted as making
these remarks: at has been definitely decided that the
entire Russian field army, first and second line troops
will be retained for the capture of Berlin The car Is
determined that Berlin shall be taken if costs the
Russian empire its entire fighting strength. He is de-
termned that his forces shall take Berlin and that he
will ride into the city at the head of his troops This
declaration has been emboldened by the signal Russian
against the Austans of whom the Car does
speak. He does not indicate Vienna for Russian
capture. His animus is for Berlin. The language is
that of the monarch not the nation But shows the
inutilty of peace talk until after the great shall

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours
SEPTEMBER II
Catherine Stephens
copyrighted 1914.

By MARY
1t was said of Catherine Stephens,
who was born on September II, 1894,
that she had the sweetest soprano
voice of her time. She was the daugh-
ter of middle-class English parents
and early in her childhood showed
signs of possessing a remarkable
voice. Before she was twenty she
was on the road to success and by
the time she was twenty-five she oc-
cupied the highest position among
English concert singers. In appear
ance she was rather above middle
height and inclined to stoutness. For
this reason she always looked older
than her years and pathos and ten
derness, combined with the great
sweetness of her voice, carried out
the impression of maturity.
Catherine Stephens did not marry
till she was forty-four. Then she
married the earl of Essex, a distin-
guished nobleman past his eightieth
year. The countess of Essex, as she
was known after this, survived her

THE stars incline, but do not compel
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER is, 1914.


Astrologers read the stars as rather
friendly and helpful today. for, early
in the morning, Saturn is in benefic
aspect, while Mercury and Venus ex-
ercise power for good. Mars, how
ever, is adverse.
Under Saturn's kindly sway the
tendency is toward conservative pru-
dent and diplomatic channels Of
thought. The rule is believed to en-
courage provident habits and bust
nesslilie methods.
The sway is encouraging for the oc-
cupation and attainment of positions
of trust and the ends of the native
are advanced by subtlety and tact.
Those who will benefit most are sub
jects of Capricorn, born between De-
cember % and January 10.
Again the sign is most fortunate
for weddings and love affairs The
young should easily attain the hearts
desires.
Owing to Mercury's kindly influence
quickness of thought and speech and
brilliancy of wit are supposed to be
enhanced. The planet is believed to
impart power to inspire and to charm
persons whose cooperation is desir-
able.
Mars threatens, even while the
other planets promise JOY and sue
cess. Danger of quarrels is increased
under this configuration.
The representation Is not fortunate
for work connected with machinery
or steel construction.
There is an influence read as warm
ing against possible complications
with foreign powers. but there is only
an suspicious omen concerning the
ultimate results of negotiations.
Milwaukee is subject to sinister
influence which is supposed to indi-
cate anxiety and suspense that at
fects public sentiment. Surprises are
foreshadowed in politics.

Rockefeller will be financially bene-
fitted by the dissolving of the village
of Hillside, the smallest village in the
state, which last night closed the key
in the safe and turned over its affairs
to Supervisor John J. Sinnott, with
about SIS 900 debts. 1t is the first time
in the history of the State that viii
lage has dissolved.
The village government was too ex-
pensive, and as a result of the disso-
luton Mr.. Rockefeller will save many
thousands of dollars, for his rate now
will be reduced to that in force in the
town. He was the largest real estate
owner in the western end of the vii

In many ways Catherine Stephens's
voice has probably never been sur.
passed among English women singers.
1t has been described as defying de-
scrlption for its fullness, roundness
and loneliness. Her manner of sing
ing was one of perfect naturalness.
and her style was perfectly simple.
The greatest fault that CRITICS ever
found with her was that she lacked
passion. Perhaps for this very reason
she excelled in ballad singing. Three
songs as sung by Catherine Stephens
were especially admired. They are

Lad" and ANGELS Ever Bright and

fckleness often ascribed to profess
