Branding Frauds.

There is no absolute cure for
tuberculosis as far as advertised
remedies are concerned, accord
ing to the Department of Agri-
culture.
After investigation under the
pure food and drug act. the re-
port has been officially announc-
ed.
This fact should be remember-
ed by all who are affected with
the disease or who lhave friends
and relatives who suffer. Nature
furnishes the only remedy so far
known. Fresh air, healthy CHM
ate and pure food are the only
cures to be recommended.
Fake announcements are frau
dulent lures, and many who read,
as a last resort, become victims.
The Department oflAgriculture
has made a thorough ~analssis of
a great number of the cures al
legged to be infallible and has
complied a list to safegard the
public. No cure was fourdin the
lot. The best the chemists of the
department can say is that there
may be some advertised RENE
dies that may at times afford
some temporary relief from the
distressing symptoms of the dis
ease, but that is all.
Since the passage of federal
legislation prohibiting the ship
ment in interstate commerce of
medical preparations for which
false and fraudulent claims are
made there has been a marked
tendency to label preparations
remedies instead of cures or in
fallible cures, as they were once
called. The Department of Agri-
culture experts say that even the
word remedy is a distortion of
the facts.
The department admits that
certain preparations will give
temporary relief, but these pre-
parations are generally dangerous
for the reason that most of them
contain alcohol, chloroform and
codeine or heroin, both of the
latter being derivities of opium.
The soothing effect of opium will
hull the cough and will bring with
it a drowsy restfulness that per-
suades the patient to believe the
cure is being effected. The re.
action is at first mild, but with a
continued use of such narcotics
the department points out that
not only is the drug habit Great
ed, but the disease is in no sense

steady progress.
Such fake compounds should be
prohibited. The victims seldom
know what they are putting in
their systems. and in the despair
of the moment feel that they are
justified in taking any chance in
the hope that they have at last
found the cure.

Washington, March ia statement
by the German embassy here tonight

den, sunk by a British squadron off the
coast of Chile Sunday, apparently was
attacked while III shelter Of neutral

The embassy's information came in
cablegrams yesterday and today from
Valparaiso. Chile
The statement follows:
Yesterday morning, the embassy re-
cciyed from Valparaiso the following
cable:
German cruiser Dresden, after hav-
ing destroyed an English sailing ship
on March S. was surprised by an Eng
lish armorvd cruiser and was pursued
by her from O'Clock in the afternoon.
Dresden succeeded in escaping the ar
morcd cruiser under cover of the dark
ness Damage in the machinery and
lack OF GOA forced her to put into the
island OF Juan Fenandez.'
ACCORDING TO today's telegram re-
ceived at the embassy from Valparaiso.
il wounded of the Dresden were handed
by the Orama at Said Harbor Three
men Of the German cruiser are reported
to have been killed, The telegram FUR
ther says that the whole rest of the
crew is landed on the Island OF Juan
Fernandez and will he brought to VAL

According TO the British admiralty
report, Dresden was caught by armored
cruiser Kent. protected cruiser Glasgow
and the auxiliary cruiser Drama nea,
Juan Fernandez island
considering the existing conditions
the Dresden apparently has been at
tackled while in shelter of neutral

Senator Fulton OF Aroostook sup
ported Senator Cole, declaring the
absurdity of any statements to the
effect that the State is not able %
build the nurses home. He described
tie conditions under which the nurses
are obliged to live in their cramped
quarters, and asked that proper
measures be taken for the comfort o.
these nurses.
Senator Garcelon of Androscoggin
charged that it has been the custom
of the trustees of State institutions TO
ask for larger appropriations than
necessary and that the inclination has
been strengthened in recent years. He
interjected a discussion of available
funds and the tax rate and suggested
that by renovating the stone building
it could be used for a nurses home in
a few years.
Senator Cole replied that Senator
Garcelon was asking. the Senate TO
oblige the hospital TO get along with
makeshift nurses home and leave the
responsibility of appropriating thu
funds necessary for the desired ex-
tension to the next Legislature. He
remarked that if the expenditure Of
money caused the Senator to raise OBJ

From the double eagle design the Gus

1t was in that period that Spain was at

Don Carlos I, was known as Charles V

Inc afternoon session OF the House
opened with surprise fer tire opponents
Of the act requiring certain vehicles to

the measure, for though they agreed with
the purpose Of the bill yet thought it
impracticatle and We're of the mind that
many Maine farmers who would be will
ing to carry lights on the light driving
teams would nevertheless lie reluctant to
adorn their heavy wagons with lights
when making journeys extending beyond
the period OF daylight. The attack as
planned was unnecessary. however. FOR
when Eep. Grant of st;rks moved its in
