Forty-fiye persons in Columbia are

Many others are afflicted. Cit
izens of Columbia, with all

Could not Columbia afford tuber-

Most of the persons afflicted are ex-

unhealthful surroundings. One Wis

all.
tuberculosis cannot be checked un-

checked best by clean surroundings,
fresh air and nourishing food-all OF

TO CONsTANTINOPLE. THENa

Students of international politics
await with eagerness the results OF
the fall of Constantinople, should the
Allied feet succeed in battering its
way through the Dardanelles and in
reducing the marvelously situated
city of the Turk. No capital In the
world today can compare with this
CITY for strategic relation to COM
merce or for strategic control Of
events which have been history in
the making.
Should this great city fall at this
juncture. the step will prove one
move more toward the end of all war
and "the federation of the world"
Control of this strong position, after
being in the hands of the 'unspeak-
able Turk" for several centuries, new

which is sure to be settled right now,
If Constantinople falls.
Indications point to ga syndicate of
nations" Indeed England, France
and Russia already have clear un-
derstanding of how they will divide
control of this point among them
selves. It is the hope of the world
today that this marvellous position
may be neutralized forever and no
longer be the source of unrest, dis
trust and war, as in the past.

How do you know that is my hat?"
the Judge asked, as his silk hat was

"Then why do You give it to me?"

EDUCATION AND CROPS.

The time is fast approaching when
the farmers over Missouri will begin
to put into practice the lessons they
learned while in Columbia Farmers
Week A study of the farms over the
state will reveal the fact that the
most progressive are managed and
owned by farmers who visit the Col
lege of Agriculture during the Week.
There can be no question but that
the instructors and lecturers here
have had something to do with the
development V
A specific example of what has been
done is afforded in this: A farmer
from the northern part of the state at
tended the last session and made a
special study of the cutting, storing
and feeding of ensilage. Then he
went home and to work. In the last
month he topped the Chicago market
with cattle that had been fed largely
on ensilage.
Watch for results this year.

The Literary Trawler
Literature.

Literature is the personal use or
exercise of language. :. And, while
the many use language as they find it,
the man of genius uses it indeed, but
subjects it withal to his own purposes,
and moulds it according to his own
peculiarities. The throng and sue
cession of ideas. thoughts, feelings,
imaginations, aspirations, which pass
within him, the distractions. the 1ux-
tapositions, the comparisons, the dis
ordinations, the conceDt'ohs, which
are so original in him, his views of
external things. his judgments upon
life, manners, and history the exer-
cises of his wit, of his humor, of his
depth, of his sagacity.-all these in
Vulnerable and incessant creations,
the very pulsation and throbbing Of
his intellect, does he image forth, to
all does he give utterance, in cor
responding language, which is as
multiform as this inward mental ac-
ton itself and analogous to it, the
faithful expression of his intense per-
sonality, attending to his own in
ward world of thought as it's very
shadow; so that We might as well say
that one mans shadow is another's as
that the style of a really gifted mind
can belong to any but himself. 1t fol-
lows him about as a shadow. His
thought and feeling are personal, and
so his language is personal.-Cardi-
nal Newman.

WOUND IN HEART
Surgeons Perform Operation
and Keep Victim Breathing
with Electrical Device.

Israel Zif is alive to-day, thanks 20
new and daring operation by which
his heart, almost severed by a knife,
was stitched after his entire chest had
been opened and part of three ribs and

where it was said last night that Zif
is we'll on the road to recovery.
ZifF, who is forty-eight years old and
lives at 238 East 105th Street, is a
cocoanut pedler. While slicins cocoa

Dr. Charles Goodman, the attending
surgeon, laid open the chest. The IN

NAME BABY SAYRE
FRANCIS WOODROW
Parents Overcome Presidents
Objection to Calling Grand
son After Himself.

Williamstown, Mass, May 2.-Presi-
dent Wilson became the godfather Of
his only grandson here to-day, and
added to his duties by promising to
safeguard the religious welfare of the
child. the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Francis
b. Sayre. Immediately afterward the
President left for Washington, where
he will arrive tomorrow morning at
Q o'clock
At the christening service the child
was given the name Francis Wood
row Sayre, the "WoodrOw' being add
ed in honor of its grandfather. Short
ly after his birth in the White House
his father announced that he would
be named simply Francis Sayre, be-
cause the President thought he should
live his own life. 1t was said to-day
that the Presidents objections had
been overcome.
In St. Johns Protestant Episcopal
Church. where the ceremony was held,
the family gathered before the white
baptismal font, Mrs. Sayre holding the
baby. The Reverend j. F. Carter, the
rector, read the brief Episcopal service.
The President and John Nevln Sayre,
the godfathers. and Miss Agnes Win
ter. of Philadelphia, the godmother,
made the responses, promising to guard
the spiritual life Of the child during
his childhood.
As DR.. Carter took Baby Sayre from
his mother for actual christening, the
child cried loudly in protest, but was
quickly quieted. Superstitious mem
bers Of the party were pleased when
the baby cried, saying it was an omen
of good luck

SAY ADWIRALS
JellicOe Complains Re.
pairs Take Twice the
Time Needed.

London. May 2-The serious effect
that drink is having on the repairs to
the warship and transport services and
in the output of munitions is disclosed
in reports from firms and officers
throughout the country, which were
published tonight in the form of
white paper.
From Vce-Admral Sir John r. Jel-
licoe, commander in chief of the home
fleets. down the officers responsible for
the navy are Of the opinion that the
short time worked by the men in the
private yards is due to drink. They de
scribe conditions as deplorable and
urge on the government the necessity
of adopting the total prohibition of al
coholic drinks or of restrictions on the
sale Of them.
The slackness Of the men, it is al
legged, is due to the fact that they are
earning more money than usual, and
that while they have any to spend they
will not work. Sunday work is con-
demned. as il is cOntended that the
double wages earned that day lead the
men to lay off two days during the
week.
Vice-Admiral Jellicoe, in a letter to
the Admiralty on the subject, says:
81 am very uneasy about the labor
situation on the Clyde and the Tyne.
IAN officer in responsible position
has arrived here, and his account Of
things on the Clyde IS most disqulet-
ing. He said the men refused alto
gether to work on Saturday afternoon,
that they took Wednesday afternoon
off every week, if not the whole of
Wednesday, and worked on Sunday be-
cause they got double pay for it. He
said also that they only worked in a
half-hearted manner.
my destroyer bookings and refts are
delayed in every case by these labor
difficulties, and they take twice as long
as they need TO- | feel you ought to
know the facts, and so | put them be-
fore you"
