Nationtl Medical Examination Day

The alleged Chinese custom OF
using the doctor to keep people we'll
instead of waiting until they are
stricken with illness before calling
for his services, is making marked
Roadway in the United States.
The latest practical suggestion in
this line is the naming of December
8 as National Medical Examination
Day. This idea is being urged by
the Anti-Tuberculosis Associations
and also by the Life Extension Insti-
tute, with which former President
Taft, General Gorgas, Professor Irv-
ing Fisher, Alexander Graham Bell,
and others we'll known, are identi-
fed.
The death rate from tuberculosis
has declined nearly fifty per cent. in
thirty years.
The hope is to popularize meth
cd of prevention which thousands
have already found not only one of
the best ways of preventing illness,
but of raising and maintaining the
standard of health and efficiency.
This relates not only to individuals,
but to employers. In the case of
factories, stores and offices, Medical
Examination Day would be an APP
propriate time for employers to adopt
such a plan for the protection of
their workers.
"The time will soon come" says
the president of this institute, when
having periodic health examinations
to prolong the active and productive
years of life, will become common
practice among our people, if the
movement can have the support of
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1915-12-17

the medical profession, the press, and
other educational factors in our ma
tional life.
Fhe physical survey Of a large
number Of, American lives demon
strates the very great value that will
come to humanity from the estab-
lishment Of this custom.
I'VE are urging our thousands of
members thruout the country to give
all possible encouragement and sup
port to the Medical Examination Day
idea and to the nti-Tuberculosis
Associations which have accomplish
ed such extraordinary results in the
of misery and needless
loss of life."

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitu-
tionai remedies. Deafness is caused by an, in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infaned
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. which is
nothing but an in1amed condition of the mucous

ROOSEVELT TRIAL
 |S NEAR AT HAND
Teddy Is Excused From the Stand Ex-president Relieved When AL
 lowed To Go.

SYRACUSE, N. Y., April 28.-The examination of ex-President Roose- welt ended today. Teddy was on the stand for six days and appeared re- lieved when told that he was no longer needed by the defense. His redirect examination was very short and his attorneys were willing to al low his cross-examination to stand.
 All of this morning and part Of yesterdays examination was taken up with the introduction of letters writ. ten by Roosevelt to leaders of the Republican party when he was seek ing political preferment at their hands. Many of the letters demon strated clearly that Roosevelt had bargained for political support and had made promises and given patron age when necessary to secure it. Let ters Roosevelt had written to Platt when he was boss of New York, let +ers he wrote to O'Dell and Barnes asking aid and giving promises were spread on the records and the wit ness forced to admit that he had writ ten them, but that they were suppos- ed to be strictly confidential. Letters written when Roosevelt forced the nomination of Taft from the Republi- can leaders in spite of their opposf- tion was also made public.
 The trial will end in two days and may possibly be. ended tomorrow if the attorneys do not take up much time for argument.
 The result of the suit is awaited with intense interest by politicians in this state. No matter what the outcome, it is admitted on all sides that Teddy is down and out and that enough jobbery has been exposed to kill him forever with the voters Of this state or with the people of the nation.
 The attorneys for Barnes are confi- dent that they will secure a verdict. Roosevelt seems greatly worried at the turn the affair has taken and shows plainly the strain of the six days he has been under examination by Barnes attorneys, who seemed to be delighted" to make him mad.

The Intelligencer believes that a
newspaper making its living in n
community and being supported by
the people and the businesses OF o
community, should at ali times and
under oil circumstances be booster
for the upbuildlng of the community.
To do this newspaper must put for
ward the best side of all enterprises,
especially those industrial and fnan-
cial. on which the life of the COM
munlty depends for growth and de-
velopment. Advertising the shortcom-
ings or failures of business concerns,
and making general assertions that to
invest in them means sure loss, and
is 80 common as 10 become a "habit"
in any community win not do the
paper any good, nor will &c rebound
to the credit of the community. The

times be boosters and hide their ham

ALCOHOLISM Ard LIFE
INSURANCE.

In this day when the study OF the
effects of alcohol on the physical and
mental stamina OF man is being pur-
sued with so much interest and SO ac-
curately. the opinion of life insurance
companies is especially valuable. and
are worth while looking into. The
old line life insurance companies
have demonstrated with accuracy the
effects drinking even s. moderate

upon the life OF q man. and today
man who wishes to secure life insur-
ance In many of the most reliable
life insurance companies must be
very moderate drinker. or total alb
stainer. There is no guess work ON
the part OF these companies as to the
results sure to follow drink, and they
speak with authority on the subject.
In recent chart prepared by one OF
these coml anies. and the attending
comment 1t Is shown that the actual
per cent OF mortality, taking 100 as
normal, Is Decreased to as much as

We should like to know what a news
paper taking this position is WORT
to any body or to anything?
o course, the vici0rs editoriai
page Is the worst. but such a paper
while 1t may last for a while, is
bound, in the course of time, to have
an end, but the colorless editorial
paper may go on for years and never
take any position. While people may
have contempt FOR 1t, they will toll
crate 1t as a weakling which is neith-
er fit TO live nor die. We do not
think that people,, as a rule, appre-
ciate the man who has no decided
views, or IL he has them is without
the neral courage to xpress MIN
self. nor have they any more appre-
citation for the newspaper that runs
along this line. Sometimes people
imagine that this Is the way to get
business, but 1t is a mistake. The
thoroughgoiing business man is not
built that way and he is never in
clined to do business with fellow
who Is q weakling.
The thing to do is to be something
and say something. These are the
kind OF people that the world needs
today. whether they be on the tri-
pod, in the pulpit or in the pew. The
cclorless editorial page never stirs
anybody or anything. It is a life
less. useless thing which people pass
by without consideration.-Green
