DELAY IN UNION
 STATION WORK
 DUE TO M'kN|GH7
Railroad Commissioner Mis- understood, and Delayed
 in Supplying Order.

That R. c. White, engineer of the Iron Mountain, at Little Rock, was correct in his statement that the de- lay in the work at the local passen- ger station was due entirely to the sion in issuing the necessary order and authority, is the contention made in the following letter to The Graphic from General Superintendent J. w. Dean of the Iron Mountain, which was accompanied by letter of date July 30 from Railroad Commissioner W. F.. Mcknight to MT. Dean, and a copy of the commissioners order, which bore date of July 30.
 The letter from Mr. Dean is as fol- lows:
 Little Rock, August 3. Editor, The Graphic,
 "Pine Bluff, Ark.
 Dear Sir: I have read article Labor Assemblies for Depot Work. Explanation of Delay by Iron Noun tain Officials Conflicts with Commits sion which appeared in your edition of Saturday, July 31.
 In order that you may have an understanding of the matter, I en- close with this. copy of letter from MT. w. F. Mcknight, railroad com missioner. dated July 30, 1915, with copy of Supplement Mo- ? to railroad commission Order A-30. I believe that MT. McKnight's letter substanti- ates our MT. Whites statement that the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railway company was wait ing for authority from the commits sion to proceed with the work ac cording to revised plans.
 "Yours truly,

Specialization Babylon.

In . lecture in connection with the Egypt Exploration fund. on Burial Customs in Mesopotamia and Egypt" Dr, L. w. King said the spirit which animated the Egyptians in their varied and changing practices toward the dead was based on affection and rcv' srence, but the Babylonian. in tho main, was prompted by fear. The Babylonians were probably moro spook-ridden than any other nation of antiquity. and their magical texts made it clear that the most terrible class of spirits were tho ghosts of the dead who for some reason had been unable to enter the underworld. Driven to hunger and thirst. such xtost might roam about and fasten on anyone with whom 1t had relations tn this life. and 1t would plague him until he performed the rites that could give peace. It was mainly to lay the ghost and prevent 1t from haunt ing" that the Babyionians were scru- pulous in performing the due burial .ites.--London Times.

Friendly Fish,

 Some time ago one of the boatmen began to notice g fish about eight inches long. and resembling a carp that seemed to wish to scrape acquain. lance. The fish would come up to ths .op of the water whenever the man ap- peared, and did not seem to be at all afraid. After a time all the men got to know the fish; and began to take friends to see him. At first he might not be !n sight. but he would very soon appear and frisk around near the surface.

Sea Moss.

This term is popularly applied to any of the Polyzoa. which are com. pound marine animals. s.veral of which share a common horny skele ton, or polyzoary, which is plant-like in form. According to the bureau of fisheries, several hundred thousand pounds of these skeletons have been imported annually from Europe, chief y from France and Germany, for dec. orative and millinery purposes. and the supply has now been practically cut of by the war. It therefore seems opportune to develop a domestic in. dustry. as sea mosses, probably eQwa. In quality to those heretofore import. ed, are said to be abundant on oar coasts, especially in New England. Those with large bushy fronds are the most valuable

|OSTEOPATH TELLS | 0F NEW PAINLESS
 CHILDBIRTH METHOD

Portland, Ore, Aug. 3.-Speaking he:e before the ninst teenth annual meeting of the American Osteopathic az 1lis, scribed met, Ods of nearly painless child birth which he sad had been tried with ,rark q success, and which do not pend lpon he use of drugs.
 During the past three year:," sad Dr. Clark, i've have conducted ns4r- ly five hundred deiivcries accorc,1 :; to osteopathic methods with remark able success. Our technlc has pecn gradually improved and if some multi millionaire would come to our assist ance and cndow maternity hosp,val w,.sr we could carry on our work under ideal conditions I am sure that in short time our results would as- tonish the world.
 That the publicity accorGad twy- light sleep aroused a very great in- terest in painless obstetrics there is no use g3insaying. This has stiru- la ed osts opathic physicians to in- creased efforts along this line mad has enabled them to prove definitely that ever better results may be se- cu1ad by non-drug m thods and with out danger to mother or babe. We hear much about the mo, her. going down into the valley of the shadow and this is actually what she does when twilight sleep is administered. With our methods of preliminary treatment and pressure is a6rr inisteN treatment and pressure anesthesia the mother does not go down into the valley but passes through labor in a normal mannX" with but fraction Of the usual suffering.
 Magazine writers have claimed that twilight sleep babies are health fer and smarter than ordinary babies and that a race of superior people will result from the use of the pow erful narcotic drugs employed This is absolutely tomnyrot. Any per- son with grain of common sense must know tha. children brought in to the world drugged and nearly life less, as so many twilight sleep babies are, cannot be in any way su- pericr if indeed they are equal, to natural born babies. Osteopathic ba- bies are healthy and lively from the moment o1 birth and cer, ainly stand more chance with their twilight bre- thren in the race for life.
 '"The claim has also been made that twilight sleep mothers need not re- main in bed longer than three or four days. Geographically delivered mothers usually feel we'll enough to rise the second day. We do not allow them to do so, however, as the in- .ernal organs are not yet in condi- tion where such a procedure would be safe. If a man went about on all fOurs as the .\mals do, early ris- ing would be perfectly permissible, but since he assumes the upright po- ture it is dangerous, regardless oi the mode of delivery employed. Os- teopathic after treatment restores the organs to normal sooner than any other known method and saves the patient from consulting a gyne colo gist at a later date"

speaklno Trumpet ,s old.

Duhamal, a Frenchman claimed for
 his country the credit of the invention of the speaking trumpet, and referring to the object in one of his books he says: Among many things which the celebrated DAlance caused to be made for this purpose, the trumpet assri5ed to Alexander, and with which he called together his army. ought not to be omitted. As the figure of 1t was represented h au old manuscript in the Vatican library. and had been ascribed to Bettini, that learned nau was desirous of trying whether 1t could be proved by experience. and the attempt succeeded; for that kind of a trumpet, if it does not excel seems undoubtedly to equal the other instruments constructed for that and

Suppose a farmer has % acres Of
land fairly fertile on which he has
been growing cotton. Since cotton
is improbable what can he do?
First of all, he should minimize cot
ton production and not attempt to
devote more than five acres to this
crop in 1915. At least eight acres of
the land now in cotton should be seed
ed to cereals; three acres should be
used where the soil is suited to this
crop, for wheat and five acres for
oats. He should prepare an acre Of
land as carefully as possible with the
idea of planting Irish potatoes as
early in the spring as 1t is practica-
BILE. When the Irish potato crop is
harvested the land should be devoted
to sweet potatoes. He should set
aside five acres to be planted to graz
ing crops to be harvested by hogs.
He should certainly devote half
acre to a garden for his family and
to the production of such truck as
will sell most readily in the local
markets. One-half acre of land should
be devoted to the growth of variety
of crops suited to poultry. Eight

(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c. Jan. .11.-Why
the Administration is insisting upon
passage of the pending bill to enlarge
the measure of self-government of the
PHILIPPINE Islands was explained to
the Senate Philippine Committee to-
day by Secretary Garrison.
In long prepared statement, he de-
clared the measure had been improper
ly termed the philippine Independ-
ence> bill, and that it was merely
step with proper safeguards, toward
self-government and exactly in line
with promises held out to the Filipinos
for years by the United States.
The preamble, which would declare
the intention of the United States to
ultimately grant complete independ-
ence to the Islands, Secretary Garrison
said was but a repetition of pledges al
ready made over and over again.
What the next step should be-" he
said, when it should be taken, what
conditions would properly surround
the grant of absolute Independence
and other like speculations, it seems
to me are idle and their consideration
at this time would only be confusing.
In view of the recent exaggerated
accounts of petty disturbances in the
Islands," the Secretary said 1t was
particularly interesting to note thai
Former President Taft, when Governor
General of the Islands, had said tina
as a result of the attitude of the Amer
lean press and OF the American mercn
ant in his hostility to the Filipino
every small Ladrone fight, every dis
comfort the constabulary suffered, wa
exaggerated and made the basis for in
ference that conditions in the island
were retragrading rather than i'm
proving"
] What the United States should d.
concerning the Philippines" said Nj
Garrison in opening his statement
"can only be determined properly b
