Repeats Three Things

MT. Bryan then repeats in his state- ment the three things he has empha- sized in his proposal. namely. that the United States should offer to employ the principle of investigation em- bodied in 30 treaties with other na- tions, take action which would pre- vent American citizens from travelling on belligerent ships or American skips carrying contraband. and that this gov ernment should protest against inter- ference with American trade with neu- trals
 No one will be happier than l.. said Mir. Bryan. If the Presidents plan re- suits in a peaceful settlement, but no one was in a position to say what ef- feet our note would have upon Ger many or what results would follow If she in anger broke off diplomatic re- ;ations, and I was not only unwilling to assume the responsibility for the risks incurred-risks which no one could with any degree of accuracy measure--but I felt that, having done all could in the cabinet. it was my duty to undertake, outside the cabinet, the duty upon which I have entered I have no doubt that the country will unanimously support the President dur ing the war. if so great misfortune should overtake us. but believe that the chances of war will be lessened in proportion as the country expresses it. self in favor of peace-not peace at any price'--but peace In preference to a war for the redress of such griev- ances as we have against Germany at least against war until we have given Germany the opportunity which we are pledged to give Great Britain France and Russia--to have every dif- ference of every character submitted to an international commission of in ,cstigation."
 MT. and Mrs Bryan left tonight for Old Point Comfort to remain until Tuesday, after which he expects to an- nounce his plans for the immediate fu- ture.

The difference between what our petition asks and the judgment as it stands is the difference between life and death.
 q shall undertake to show by the record that Frank logically could not have had any part in Mary Phagan's murder I also shall undertake to show that the negro, James Conley first robbed. then assaulted and final ly murdered the girl"

FOR AMERICAN TROOPS

DOUGLAS, ARIZ., Oct. 2S.-Declar-
ing that an attack on Aqua Prieta
would endanger American lives, Mayor
Ellis of Douglas today sent tele-
gram to the state department at
Washington asking that Villa troops
be prevented from attacking the town.
Senator Ashurst has also asked the
federal authorities to protect resi-
dents of Douglas from attack in the
event of an engagement across the
line from here.
A request from the mayor of Bisbee
for a regiment of troops to protect
American citizens and property there
has also been forwarded to Washing
ton. Residents of Douglas are alarmed
over the prospect of battle at Aqua
Prieta and are leaving in large num-
bers. At present two batteries of
field artillery are stationed here.

SCHOOL EPIpEMlcs

Not many years ago says The
Nurse, the outbreak of an epidemic
was welcomed by the pupils in the
public schools as affording the luxury
of a vacation. To close the school,
quarantine the houses in which the
disease was discovered. and let the
youngsters play together until other
children came down and were
quarantined, was the usual procedure.
But:
Science now tells us that the most
dangerous time for the spreading Of
some of the infectious diseases is just
before the child feels that he is ill;
sore throat and has a discharge from
the nose. At this time the germs are
most numerous and most active. The
modern method of handling an epi-
demic places the burden of RESPONSE
bility upon the school nurse or school
physician. There is much less danger
of spreading the disease with the
children under supervision in the
schoolroom than when they are run
ming at will in the streets. By care
full examination the school-nurse can
recognize the approach of the disease
much earlier than can the parents.
During epidemics it is wise to keep
children away from Sunday and
it is much safer to keep them in day
school under the supervision Of ply
sicians or nurse inspectors"

A UNIQUE RECORD
IN ADVERTISING

Foster -Milburn company, whose pro-
duct, Doans Kidney Pills, is adver-
tised in our columns, is one of the
oldest advertising firms in the United
S lies. They began using the daily
and weekly newspapers 35 years ago,
AMI have kept it up ever since. This
is one of the strongest proofs of the
value of newspaper advertising.
Twenty years ago Foster -Milburn
company conceived the idea of proving
the merit of their goods with local
testimonials. 1t took them fifteen years
to collect the testimonials from every
one of the $500 United States towns in
which they do this kind Of advertis-
ing. 1t was tremendous task, but
they stuck to it until they succeeded,
and the result is that Doan's Kidney
Pills are one of the best advertised
and best recommended remedies in
the world.
