BRAVERY OF AMERICANS
Men of Note Went to Their Doom
Without a Sign of Fear

Meanwhile tales of the calm, smil-
ing, self-sacrificing manner in which
prominent Americans went to their
deaths are becoming known, ana
Hghtened somewhat the sombre pals
of horror which shrouds the catastro-
phe. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, who was
equipped with a life belt, CALAMITY
took it off and placed it about a young
woman. Then he went to seek an
other belt. He was not seen again.
Vanderbilt was standing outside
the grand entrance of the saloon,
looking quite happy and perfectly
composed" said Oliver F. Bernard,
scenic artist of the Covent Garden.
He was holding a jewel case for
lady for whom he apparently was
waiting"
A moment later, after the ship had
been torpedoed, Vanderbilt was seen
by Thomas Slidell of New York city
and an English passenger on the deck
of the Lusitania. Vanderbilt, who
could not swim, was adjusting life
belt. AS he secured it in place
young woman, greatly Hurried, passed
him. He was seen to take off the
belt and adjust it for the woman.
There was nothing in the way o.
heroics. The self-sacrifice was made
rs a matter of course" said the Eng
fish passenger.
Others told of last seeing Charles
Frohman standing near rail calmly
viewing the awful scenes about him
rs the ship sank.
why fear death? 1t is the most
beautiful adventure in life," were the
last words of Frohman before he
went down with the Lusitania, &C
cording 10 Miss Rita Jolivet, an
American actress. with whom he was
talking calmly just before the END
came.
Miss Jouvet, who was among the
survivors taken to Queenstown, said
she and Frohman we're standing on
deck as the Lusitania heeled over.
They decided not to trust themselves
to lifeboats, although Frohman be-
lieved the ship was doomed. 1t was
after reaching this decision that he
declared he had no fear of death.
The last days of Ebert Hubbard
were days of cheerfulness for every
one with whom he came in contact.
The great American philosopher
and humorist probably was the most
familiar figure on the decks of the
Lusitania. Every hour of sunlight
he spent on the deck of the Lusitania
with Mrs. Hubbard at his side, taking
part in the games, talking, chatting
and endearing himself to scores OF
passengers. The one regret expressed
by Hubbard and his wife was that
they had been unable to bring their
daughter, that she, too, might have
enjoyed what to them had been a
wonderful voyage.

The Rutland Herald is right in saying
that the small beginning (the proposed

"Justice Hughes wholly disapproves
the use of his name in connection with
the Presidential campaign. Not only has
he no desire to re-enter politics, but, as a
member OF the Supreme Court, he is not
available. He is not candidate in any
sense and cannot permit his name to be
used"
The foregoing authorized statement
definitely removes Judge Hughes from the
list of Republican Presidential possibili-
ties. The turmoil of politics and the irri-
tation of party strife were ever distaste-
full to him. His experience in New York,
which has been clearly revealed by the
Barnes-Roosevelt trial are among the
significant reasons why his declination
to again enter active political life is re.
garded as sincere. The bench is said
to have been always the goal of his am.
billions and he is tempermaentally suited
for such service. That he can be induced
to change his mind is unlikely, as those
who know him best say Justice Hughes
generally means what he says. This be-
ing the case, much as the party would
like him, it must look in another direc-
ton for leader to victory next year.

why it is that so many products that

drop out Of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plain-the ar
ticle did not fulfil the promises Of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to medicine. A medi-
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy
Is recommended by those who have
been benefited to those who are in

A prominent druggist says Take

a. preparation I have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend, for in almost every case it
shows excellent results, as many Of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that 1 know Of has so
large q SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess Of DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root is
due to the fact that it fultils almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liv-

How TO Guard Against Pneumonia.

In thu February issue. Is taken the
following advice as to how parents
and others can guard against pneu-
monia both for themselves and for
their children:
February Is the month when pneu-
monia Is busiest and deadliest: In
Chicago and New York last February
more shan one thousand persons died
Of pneumonia.
Pneumonia Is now classed by ply
sicians as a preventable disease. It is
an infectious dust disease. due to
germs which cGn be fought with
pure air.
"Pnoumonio. germs thrive and null
tipiy IA unventilatcd schoolrooms,
stores. factories, Aomes, and moving
picture theatres.
DRY sweeping and busting put
germs in circulation. Moisten your
broom and dustcloth when cleaning.
Wash and dry both when your task is
done.
DRY air dries out the mucous men,
brane or lining Of the nose and air
passages. leaving them susceptible to
infection and colds. II you have steam
heat or a hard coal burner in your
home. always keep a pan Of water on
the radiator or the back Of the stove
Pneumonia Is sometimes the result
OF a neglected cold. Treat cold
promptly.
when your children have colds. do
not dose them with soothing syrup.
cough syrup or patent medicine Of
any sort. Give castor oil. keep the
child in the house. and II the cold
does not get better send for your doc
tor.
Colds can be caught from a kiss, n
common drinking cup, or a handker-
chief or towel which has been used
by someone suffering with a cold.
"Adenoids or enlarged or diseased
tonsils furnish lodging place for
germs. Children who are subject to
colds should be examined by a physi-
cian--if possible by throat special
ist.
IF you have a cold, do not kiss your
child. en-. When nursing. bathing and
dressing your baby. protect it from
infection by tying a soft handkerchief f
or piece of old linen over your
mouth.
Teach your children to protect
themselves from cold-contagiOn by
avoiding their little playmates who
cough. sneeze, have a rash, or Il sore
throat"

to suppose that peanuts would not be
equally profitable in the cotton belt of
South Carolina.
There are in South Carolina several
hundred salaried officials whose oath
of office require them to enforce the
laws. apprehend law-breakers and,
see that thoy are brought into court
for trial. The officials to whom ref
erence is had are the sheriffs, deputy
sheriffs. rural policemen, constables,
and policemen Of the cities and towns.
They are, in number, sufficient to
make better showing in the enforce
ment of law and suppression Of law
lessness than they have in recent
years, and now that they will have
the support and encouragement Of a
chief executive who stands for the
orderly enforcement of law and the
suppression Of crime. they should turn
over new leaf and do their full duty.
1t is admitted without argument, that
In recent years sheriffs and other Of
ficials have had little encouragement
to apprehend and prosecute criminals,
since they have been turned loose on
the public as rapidly as convicted and
sent to prison; but a new order Is at
hand. the people of the State have,
by their ballots. placed in office a
man pledged to enforce the laws and
punish the lawless. and the public
has revolted against the
reign Of the criminal classes. Public
sentiment is becoming aroused and
officials should be the first to take the
hint that laxity in enforcing the law
will not longer be a popular policy
for them to pursue.
