matte representatives here of the entente
powers generally recognize that their
cause is a lost one and that Bulgaria is
clearly a tendency toward the
central powers. This is due to the dissat-
of the government at Serbia re-
ply in the negotiations for territorial con-
ccssions III Macedonia and at the conduct
oi Greece in this connection
None of the representatives here of the
allies cherishes any longer the hope that
Bulgaria can be prevented from joining
with Germany, Austria and Turkey.
In government circles the statement was
made today that all the military measures
which have been taken are OF a proven
tive measure. These measures consist in
turning over the railroads to military au-
thorities and suspending ordinary traffic.
Many parts of Bulgaria tell of enthusiastic
demonstrations in favor of the government.
This is considered symptomatic of the pub
lie feeling which does not ignore the fact
that the country is near TO war The for
NAL cession by Turkey Of territory along
the Dedeaghatch railroad has been delayed
by the action of the entente powers in
notifying Bulgaria that the acceptance of
this territory would be regarded as an IN
friendly act which would invite counter
measures.

FRAUD IN MEDICINE
AIDED BY SECRECY
Take Away Element Of Mystery
and Quack Business Will
CrumbIe, Says Writer.

The entire superstructure of fraud In
medicine has for its foundation secrecy
and mystery.
Take away these elements. and that
the patent midicinc" business
crumbles. Hence the frantic efforts Of
those who have built fortunes through
the exploitation of nostrums in opposing
every movement that would permit the
public to know the drugs 1t is taking
in patent !nidicines."
A forgotten chapter in quackery is
related by the Journal of the American
Medical Association. About $50 Years
ago Mrs. Stephens in England claimed
to have discovered a cure for gravel
and stone In the bladder and Kidneys
So skillfuwlly did she call her wares that
she deluded ignorant and educated alike
into a belief in her discovery. Dr.
David Hartley. physician and philoso-
pher. collected and published reports of
15O cases-his own among them-show-
ing the value of Mrs. Stephens cure "
Convinced that Mrs. Stephens had
discovered boon to suffering human
the secret of her formula Quacklike,
she refused. but-also quacklike-she Of
fered to give up the formula for f50OO
5000. Attempts were made to raise
this amount by public subscription. but
without success In spite of the fact
about fl.3O was raised. Parliament
was then petitioned to make a grant,
which. in due time 1t did.
Mrs. stephens got her $4,000 and the
public got her formula" The latter
was published in the London Gazette
, The "cure' consisted Of egg shells
snails (shells and ally. hips and haws

vegetables all burned to a cinder and
the ash mixed with camomils flower.
and fennel and other vegetables.
| what was in Mrs. Stephens nostrum, II
would have none Of It, The cure fell
into disrepute. and finally went the
way of all such frauds. into oblivion
Dr. Hartley died of the disease of which
ne believed Mrs. Stephens had cured
him.

NO 81 BASEBALL

Joseph ]. Lannin, the owner of one
Of the Boston baseball clubs, is re-
ported as prophesying that before
the end of the summer the baseball
war will have forced the price Of the
amusement up to 81 each consumer
per day.
Mr.. Lannin is probably wrong. Not
much baseball will be consumed at
that price this coming summer or
any other summer. Baseball is our
popular outdoor amusement and it
will never be popular at 81 seat.
Also Mr.. Lannin has not studied
deeply the strategy of such wars as
organized baseball is now carrying
on against the Federal League. This
is the time for efficiency in admin
istration, not for boosting the price
to consumers. These great concrete
stadia which will seat from twenty
to thirty thousand are all but empty
excepting on holidays.
The first baseball magnate who
has the vision to reduce his prices
to the "ten-twent-thirt" will make so
much money it will astonish him.
Where he sells one grandstand seat
at rs cents he will sell five at 80
cents. This is the system which will
put baseball on it's feet again, not
the idea that you can win the money
and good will of the public by more
than doubling the price,
