SPECIAL POLICE
DATA REQUIRED
State Rather Slow About Grant
ing Authority to Represent
1t in Works
Founded
1871

Appointments of special policemen,
coal and iron policemen, railroad
policemen or corporation cops" as
they are variously called are going to
be rather difficult to procure from the
State government unless more infor-
nation is given about the applicants
for the parchments signed by the gov
ernor which the commonwealth issues
to men to carry on police work for
companies and associations of various
kinds. In the last week or so it is un-
derstood that appointments of num-
Der of men to act as special officers in
guarding works have been held up be-
cause it was considered that not
enough facts about the applicants 70:
State authority had been filed.
The State police force was created
nine years ago for the express purpose
of doing the work for which corpora
and under Governors Pennypacker and
Stuart very few of the coal and iron
policemen were named and the num-
Der of special officers was considerably
reduced. Governor Tener was also
opposed to granting of State authority
unless II COulu Dc SHOWN IHdL men
were actually needed and that the
services required could not be rend-
cred by State Police or local author
tiles. On one occasion he refused to
commission number of men as spe-
cial officers for an industrial plant be-
cause he said outside police protection
was ample.
In the last few years the big rail-
road, steel and other companies have
been organizing their own police
forces and have drawn heavily on the
State Police force. swapping up the
men as soon as cnlistments expired
through offers of better pay and quar-
ters. Since the war began and danger
from outside interference grew there
have been many men enlisted in these
special forces and numerous commits
sionS as State special officers have
gone out. Their very number started
an inquiry and now data about each
man must be filed before any authority
is delegated. The State has kept con-
troll of police powers outside of mu-
inequalities in its own hands and the
commissions issued to special police
for railroads, factories or other works
may be revoked at any time

Big Increase Here in
Whooping Cough Cases

The big increase in the number of
cases of whooping cough in this city
during the last two months is due, ac-
cording to DR.. J. NJ. ]. Raunick, city
health officer. to misleading infor-
nation given to parents by the family
physicians.
Doctors tell the people that the
youngsters have red cough There is
no red cough It's whooping cough,
or a little cold, that's all. and most of
the cases known as red cough are
whooping cough. The child stays home
a few days, then goes out and spreads
the disease"
During October 81 cases of whoop-
ing cough were reported, and last
month rs were recorded. These figures
have brought the total number of con-
tagious disease cases to higher figures
than they should be, according to DIR.
Raunick. Excluding the 76 cases of
whooping cough of last month, only So
other cases of communicable diseases
were listed, and these were scattered
over the list. ChickenpoX and diph-
liberia claim 8 each of the total. Last
year during the corresponding period
100 cases were reported, but only .
of these were Whooping cough, show

scious man. He lay upon cot. His
head was swathed in bandages. The
surgeon, seated on a camp stool by his
side, raised his head and glanced at
those about him.
THE vitality of this man Is little
less than marvellous" he said.
Annette Ilington started forward.
Then he will live?" she said.
The surgeon nodded.
The little group bent forward And
with good reason. The figure on the
couch stirred slightly-the huge form
quivered. At last the unconscious
man became no longer so. He opened
wide his eyes. He stared wildly about
the cabin, struggling the while to
rise.
You'll never know from me where
Lost Isle is he muttered. Look at
Observation-Disclosures. Pray God,
the Princess"
He lifted his head The surgeon
seized him by one arm and a. uni
formed attendant by another. But he
tossed them from him as though by
the turn of wrist and struggled to
a sitting posture.
You will" he snarled, clutching at
the two men. It's Just as we'll l
found you out, Hernandez-you and
your henchman, Ponto; just as we'll
before Come on, both of you to-
gether."
In another instant he would have
been upon his feet. But his eyes fell
upon Annette llington.
Anne he cried. He stretched
forth hand as though to touch her,
then suddenly withdrew it. He
shrugged his shoulders. What's the
use?' he muttered to himself, I'm
eaming-dreaming.
Dreaming" said the surgeon som.
berly. "for thirteen years"
Neal gripped his mothers arm.
Look at his eyes," he whispered,
his eyes. Something has happened
to him. He has become a man."
The brute man glanced inquiringly
at the surgeon. What is the matter
with me, doctor?" he exclaimed, his
voice strong, his tones resonant with
reason. Did my friend the Portu.
guese-Hernandez-get me after all?

the last thing remember. The Mexi-

The surgeon smiled. He black

said.
Where's Manuella?" went on the
figure on the cot. And where is the

of which can be used as substitutes.
Wheat does not constitute more than
IL per cent Of the normal diet, about
the same as poultry and eggs. Meat
and dairy products constitute As per
cent; vegetables IL per cent; fruits,
nuts, sugar fish and other items, the re-
naming 10 per. cent. There are larg
er supplies of corn and other grains,
meat animals, dairy products, pota
toes, and fruit at the opening of 1915
than for many years. The most im
portant competing products are corn
and potatoes. This is shown by the
fact that while the normal consump
ton of wheat is 5.3 bushels, in Maine
it is only Al bushels, and in Michigan
5. In the wheat growing states where
wheat is abundant, such as Minnesota,
the average is ~, whereas in the
| oOuth, WhCiC SOhh ID uoC0, lhS
average is 4 bushels. Normally about
per cent of the corn crop is consum-
ed as food. OF our total crop, about
30 millions would be used for food. the
remainder for other purposes. The re.
mainder could be used for foods and
/ substitutes used for animals. The po-
tato production in the United States
averages 3.8 bushels per capita. This
year the available supply is Al bush
els. The average price of meat ami.
mails was per cent cheaper in Janu-
airy than year ago, butter per cent
lower, the price of chickens slightly
lower, of potatoes S5 per cent lower;
and of apples it was 81 per cent low
er.
1t would seem that the United
States is not likely to be threatened
with shortage of foodstuffs.
