Lecturer at Brooklyn Expires Whis-
pering "Pray to Jesus for Any
thing You Want"

Cornelius D. Weaver, lawyer, of
342 Fifty-sixth street, Brooklyn,
dropped dead when addressing a
meeting at the Mariners temple. He
had been quoting and lecturing on
Biblical texts before an audience Of
forty or fifty persons, mostly boys
and young men.
He stopped suddenly and fell from
the platform to the floor just in
front of the chairs. The boys picked
him up and heard him say "Pray to
Jesus for anything you want"
A policeman was called, and he
summoned an ambulance from the
Hudson Street hospital. Doctor Sla-
ter responded, but found that Mr..
Weaver had died almost instantly.
Heart disease was the cause.

INRREEDlNG CANCER CAUSE.

The study of number of human
families has borne out the results OBJ
tanned from the laboratory work with
mice, and indicates that resistance
to cancer is a positive (dominant)
trait and that nonresistance appears
in the children only when both par
snts belong to nonresistant race.
And this result is commonest, writes
Charles B. Davenport in the Popu-
lar Science Monthly, where cousin
marriages are commonest, because
that makes it probable that if one
parent belongs to a cancer race the
other-the cousin-will belong to the
same cancer race. In rural Maine
cousin marriages are extremely fire.

the coast, and here we have the con-
ditions for the result-the high incl
dence of numbers of the cancer race
in an inbred community.

TEACH THE YOUNG FILIPINO
American Educators Are Doing Won
derful Work in Americas East
ern Possessions.


Within a few years Of Americas
possession of the Philippines 100000
bright Filipino boys and girls were
found in schoolhouses scattered all
over the islands studying modern
textbooks illustrated from Philippine
life. Fifteen hundred American
schoolteachers had come over ten
thousand miles to the facilitating
climate Of the islands to enable these
boys and girls to know the facts Of
history, the wonders of life, the Sc
crets of healthful living.
Then these young people told the
story to their parents, who had never
been educated under the Spanish re-
gime. In fact, to be educated was
the privilege only of the estrada, or
upper classes. And these Filipino
children told their parents they must
open the windows of their nipa
(straw-thatched) huts at night and
let in the fresh air; and that it was
not sanitary for each member of the
family in turn to smoke the long,
black family cigar which was sus-
pended from the ceiling. They told
them, too, that water must be boiled
to prevent the spread of typhoid,
which had steadily decimated the
population Herald.

Romance, Despite
 War, is Revealed

London. July 2s.-As evidence that romance is mot to be diverted even by the grave affairs Of the political world in war time. there comes the announcement that Mss Violet Asauith, daughter of the premier, is to marry her fathers prf- Nate secretary, MT. Bonhan- Carter.
 sa The "oficial balletin''4 states the fact in the following terms .ss A mar riage has been arranged and will shortly take place between Maurice Ronham-Carter and Violet, elder daughter of the prime minister
 Miss Asquith is 2s years old; MT. Bonham-Carter is 35. He has been with MT AsqJlith for eight years, and has Snade himself generally popular with his employers friends and as aeeiates. He is graduate of Ox- ford. Where he distinguished himself equally at. cricket and in schela rshi D.
 Miss Asquith, who on physical ap- pearance bears remarkable resem- blance to her step mother, has all of her fathers industry and energy.

man S treasure tie may not love his wife, but she may love him with all her heart-wearying heaven both night and day with her prayers to grant her the one boon which will make life worth hving-her husDand 8 1ove-the affection promised her at the altar. It may be the greatest sor- row Of her life that she is chlldless- God alone can give children; if he de- nies them-it is His will. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. There is no greater crime than to come between husabnd and wife. Give this marr ed man up. DO not see him again. You lived happily Be a sensible woman. You cannot af- ford to take a wrong step-for your children's sake, take care, beware. If you can love the wealthy suitor who has offered you his heart and hand, marry him and go far away from the tenpter who is trying to make of you creature your children would abhor when they are old enough to under stand.
 No man ever loved a woman whom he would deliberately lure from the right path. I make these words a ing so pitifully hard between right and wrong). Spare the other woman her treasure. Give up the married man. The man who is false to one woman can always be false to an other, depite all his protestations. In time some younger, fairer woman would in turn take him from you. This is Gods way of bringing sin home. I have never known it to fail. She who breaks Gods law pays soon or late.
 The above advice also applies to the following letter:
 Dear Miss Libbey:-
 \ am coming to you for the first time and hope you will not refuse me an answer.
 I am a girl 21 years old (though peo- pie say I look about 16). am in love with a man five years my senior. He called. to my house once and after this I learned was married and had two children. I asked him and he said yes he had two little girls But said he could not live with his wife and he was getting a divorce. He has not called since but we have corresponded regular and he says he will tell me when he gets it,
 Now Miss Lfbbey though love him dearly I did not encourage him to get the divorce I told him I would like to see him and his wife get along nicely.
 Now would it be a disgrace for me divorce? Is it wrong for me to cor respond or should I wait? If his wife should get the divorce would it be disgracefu1 for me to keep his com pany?

EARLY HISTORY OF
 TYPHUS FEVER


 Lice are not generally mentioned in polite society. Even in scientific cir c1es they are referred to as ''pediculi'' in order that the sensibilities be not shocked. But the discovery of the transmission of typhus fever by these little pests of man has given them a new importance, especially since typhus has broken out in European armies. A recent paper by pr. Fischer of Vienna gives the early his- tory of typhus in relation to the lice plague now so formidable in eastern Europe. The routine history of typhus it's description by Fracastorius C1533) and as ''tabardi1Io'' by Fran cesco Bravo (157O). the superb ac- count of Pring1e (1752). the attempts to differentiate it from typhoid by Willis (1643). Fl -1xham (1737), Hide brand (181o) a-d others, the final and c1assica. ei%erentiation by W. W. Gerhard in America (1S37) and Sir William Jenner in England (1S49), and the subsequent developments up to the time of P1otz are we'll known. Dr. Fischer lists the many curious names given to the disease during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and states that the first de- seription of lice as an accompaniment of typhus was given in series of ob- servations on Hungarian camp dis eases, published by Tobias Cober of Gorlitz in 1906; and reissued by the anatonist Meibom in 1885. A trans 1ation of his quaint description of the latter nuisance is given in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association:
 with these foregather the most terrible pediculi, hardly to be thought of without a sense of discomfort, which in themselves. through their constant promenading and sucking of the body, are enough to stir up ones bile. For it is impossible to avoid the bites of these miserable creatures, especially in the first years n the field as they enjoy a sort of right of citi- zenship in all ca mps. The atmosphere is so lukewarm, mild and stufy that when clothes which have been wa ed in swamp water are exposed to the sunlight, they are seen to swarm with these 'mermious Syllanis.' One can not hope therefore to get away from these constant attendants and com panions, as they seem to arise from , the very moisture of the body itself. At first I though I rid myself of the pest by constant change of newly wa shed clothing, but even this seeme d to bring them more and more into play, instead of destroying them. And this can, as I bear witness, drive a man into fury. For as often as I was bitten by these miserable, abect animalculeS, 1 gave full rein to my anger, fairly gnashing- my teeth with rage. and cannot even now think of them without Vexation. -. One can not ward off these armed six-footed Turks even with iron and steel . . And among many soldiers I have not ed the frightfu1 spectacle that this fearful plague of lice had gone far enough to cover the whole nape with ! ulcers, the flesh not only excoriated d to the breadth of one or two fingers, but actually excavated, the men con- demned to this miserable fate dying with gEoans and lamentations"

ToDAY's POEM
FAREWELL TO HIS WIFE.

Fare thee well! and if forever. Still forever, fare thee well; Even though unforgiving, never 'Gainst thee shall my heart rebel. Would that breast were barred before Where thy head so oft hath lain, While that placid sleep came OCT thee Which thou ne'er can'st know again Would that breast, by thee glanced
 over,
 Every inmost thought could showi Then thou wouIdst at last discover Twas not well to spurn it so. Though the world for this commend
 thee
 Though it smile upon the blow, Even it's praises muss offend thee Founded on another's woe! Though my many faults defaced me, Could no other arm be found Than the one which once embraced To l1nflict cureIess wound? Yet, o yet myself deceive not, Love may sink by slow decay; But by sudden wrench, believe not Hearts can thus be torn away; Still thine own its life retainetE-- Still must mine, though bleeding,
 beat;
 And the undying thought which
 paineth
 Is-that we no more may meet, These are words of deeper sorrow Than the vail above the dead; Both shall live, but every morrow Wake us from a widowed bed. And when thou wouldst so1ace gather When our child's first accents flow Wilt thou teach her to say 'sFather!'' Though his care she must forego? When her little hands shall press thee When her lip to thine is pressed. Think of him whose prayer shall bless Think of him thy love had blessedt Should her lineaments resemble Those thou sneYerHoraH H4ayss sec Then thy heart will softly tremble With a pulse yet true, to me
 All my madness none can know! All my hopes where'er thou goest. Wtther, yet with thee they go. Every feeling hath been shaken; Pride, which not a world could bow BOWS to Ln06Y Dy In06 4OESahEus Even my soul forsakes me now; But 'tis done; all words are idle Words from me are vainer still; But the thoughts we can not brid1e Forces their way without the will. Fare thee weIl-thus disunited.
 Torn from every nearer. tie. Scared in heart, and lone, and
 blighted.
 More than this I scarce can die.

Macroni.

The }nacroni which is of a yellow ish color is usually the best; the white kind is inferior and lacks body. It in creasing in boiling at about a four fold rate, so one may judge in this way the quantity to use for the mum Der of portions to be served To boil macroni properly (and the same rules apply to spaghetti), have the water boiling and jumping, throw into it a tablespoon of salt, then break the macroni into desired lengths and drop it into the water a little at a, time, so as not to step the water boil ing. When it has boiled from Is to 20 minutes, pinch a piece between the thumb and finger to test whether or not it is perfectly done. Then throw it into a sieve and pour first luke warm water through it, then cold water, which will remove the mucila- ginous liquid that makes 1t cling to- gether Pour it back into the basin and it is ready to fix in any of the various dishes which have been ss- Iected for the day.

THE VOGUE oF THE PocKETEp sKIRr.

No mode of the season is more pro- nounced than the pocketed skirt, and the conventional minded have fallen right into line with the extremists in accepting the. new order of fashion. The skirt shown here is a four-piece model in mems wear serge, having the front gore stitched to form pockets. The closing is shifted to the left side. where buttons are added to emphasize the fact. A belt of self material finish es the high waist-1ine. For medium size 3ss yards of serge are required.
 Seams are spared the front and back by placing these sections of the pattern on Iepgthwise fold of the material The back belt section is laid crosswfse section is placed over a lengthwise thread. The side gore at it's widest, curved section touches the selvage edge, as does the piecing.
 The length of the skirt is determined, of course, by single and double small zoo" perforatfons. these marking off varying degrees of snartness in this regard
 The separate skirt is in such great demand this season that one finds it developed in many different materials. A variant of the fashiona bIe stripes is a group of three hairlines placed about an inch apart. with the intersecttng space filled with checks almost quar- ter of an inch wide. Ribbed silks and clothes, too, are seen everywhere.
 Checks are bewitehing, and occasion : ally in the irregular checked designs a line of white enters the scheme very effectively One of the most fashion able color schemes just now is a tawny yellow and black check which is very good looking trimmed with buttons of the cloth with black centers.

ANOTHER WOMAN'S
 TREASURE. ,
Dear Miss Liboey:

Dear Miss 1ibbey:-
 Kindly decide what should be done under following circumstances: Two are sweethearts from childhood, they unhappily, no children bless the union. She marries, has children but is forced to divorce her husband because of in fdenty and abuse
 i After a lapse of years the former sweethearts meet suddenly. They are alone, speak of old times. Before either realize it they are in each oth- en, but both realize (though no word has been spoken) that they love each other. They separate determined not l to meet again, but after a few mis- erably. unhappy days for both, hey meet again. Both wish to be hon give each other up despite friends ad- ! vice.
 The divorced wife had been consid- ering marrying a wealthy man and going away, her lover cannot raise his protest against her plan because he has not the right to do so. What should be done in this most unfortu- nate case?
 For a very young and inexperienced girl to fall into a love trap, one can feel the deepest pity, even while con- demning her. For woman who has passed through the experience gates of 1 wifehood and motherhood, one cannot have so much conamiseration, espe- cia1ly when the object of her affection is a married man.
 I do not wish to speak harshly to you,- dear heart, but I want you to let me bring your womarily sense of judg- ment to bear on the situation. Your i ore ttne lover is TOW another wo-
