S. CLAY BROWN
" Passed On" at Noon, Aug.
4, 1915.

S. Clay Brown was born at Browns.
vile, Maryland, Dec. TO-. 1892
While yet a boy his parents moved
to Indiana, where he received his
education, finishing up with med
ical course at Ann Arbor, Mich
Soon after receiving his diploma as
physician the civil war broke out
and he offered his services to tn Gov
eminent and was made ASST, tan
surgeon of the 9Th Indiana Infa. try
and about a year later was n ade
surgeon of the 18th Indiana Infan nv,
with which regiment he remaint d
until the close of the war, be-
ing mustered out of the service at
Blackshire. Ga.
During the siege at Vicksbure he
was taken sick and sent up to a
hospital boat at Milligan's Bed, and
from there was taken by his fiancee,
Miss Sue L. Mclaughlin, a volun-
teer nurse, then serving on the Fed
eral hospital boats on the Missis-
sippi River, up to officers hospital
at Memphis, Tenn, and upon his
recovery they were married in the
hospital, and then went down to
spend a 30-day furlough honey
moon at New Orleans, just then
fallen into the hands of Gen. Ben
Butler. The honeymoon over they
both returned to duty not to meet
again until the close of the war.
In 1892 they moved back to In
dianapolis, and in 1897 they moved
to Fitzgerald, Georgia Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown have both been
active G. A. r., Mr.. Brown having
served as Commander of the De-
partnent of Georgia and South Car

Prevention and Cure
Of Pulmonary tuberculosis

| CAOA 0uU cure u TUBERCULOSIS OF
the lungs probably rests more
heavily upon the osteopathic pro-
fession than any other because
they have a system of therapy
which is now known to reach
and modify the cause of this d.
sease.
A great authority made the
statement that ninety per cent
of mankind have tubercular
LESSONS at one time or other dur
ing life. Hence the necessity
that the disease be recognized in
its incipiency and that the most
effective and promptest possible
treatment be given.
An editorial in the New York
Medical Journal of July 18th
says: Present day knowledge
concerning the admirable re-
sources of the body to offset the
effects of pathogenic germs, not
only lends weight to these OBJ
servations Or. Osler's), but en-
phasized the facts, long ago ur-
ged, that the initial onset Of pull
monary tuberculosis is not detect
able with the means at our dis
posal'', and that early signs u.s.
ualy described are in reality
those of q fully developed d.
sease, when local LESSONS are suf-
Efficiently marked to compromise
the issue"
1t is my belief that undoubtly
the osteopath has a marked ad-
vantage in the very early detec-
ton of even a predisposition to
lung diseases. In many cases |
have examined, from mild to
severe ones, a lesioned condition
of the upper dorsal region has
always been in evidence. This
center for the lungs between the
shoulders is found sore, contract
ed, flat, anterior or posterior or
exhibits some other marked de-
Walton from the normal.
A writer in the Journal of the
American Osteopathic Associa-
ton, December, 1913, says: mot
only is this lesion Ia posterior
position of the upper dorsal YER
tebrae) found in practically
every case, but l find that treat
ment directed toward the remov-
al of this lesion results in the
most favorable outcome yet
shown by any method of treat
nent".
Corroborating the above, now
comes forth the X-ray expert of
Hahnemann Medical College,
Philadelphia, who asserts that
he can detect any tuberculously
inclined patient by examination
of the X-ray picture of the spine
between the shoulders!
The osteopathic physician by
his trained sense of touch finds
this abnormal condition marked
in the area concerned with the
nutrition of the lungs even years
before the appearance of any
clinical symptoms of pulmonic
tuberculosis.
A fine illustration of this is ex-
hibited by a patient under the
care of the writer: a woman for
ty years of age spent two years
in Arizona for lung trouble. The
rest and change did her good,
but she did not get entirely well.
She returned East and finally
consulted an osteopath. Upon
leaving after her first treatment,
she thanked the osteopath and
| said, Doctor, l certainly feel
that you are the first physician
who has really found the seat
and the cause of my trouble.
After four months treatment
and advice as to diet, etc., her
strength had greatly improved
while she continued at her house
work.
While she was being treated
she brought her six-year old girl.

FOx's Bark Worth 5000

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 New York.-The "call of the wild. although the wild Is penned, a black fox mothers affection for her offspring and the fox cubs innate obedience 10 the vixen" mamma saved William 1T. Kane 5000 the other night.
 Kane runs black fox farm near North Long Island. The fox cub, one of a litter of four. is weeks old; his pelt will be worth 5000. The little fel- low wriggled through a hole in the wire mesh around the pen and away he went.
 All the next day Kane and his men vainly hunted for the cub. Then they used dogs in leash In the attempt to find him. But the cub had inherited the wiles and cunning of ages-he es- capped the dogs as easily as he had eluded tho men.
 Well see If the mother does not call the cub home tonight" remarked Kane, who has come to know a little of the ways of foxes.
 During the night the mother fox's bark to her wandering cub sounded again and again. Then all was silent In the pen. Kane crept down and mend ed the hole in the wire mesh. The small fox had come home. the family was re united and Kanes pelt was safe once more.

BUFFALO KING ON BLOCK, IS OLD NOW AS ORNAMENT

From the St Louis Globe Democrat.
 New York.-Black Diamond. if the cir cles on his teeth have been read aright, was born in the so distant past that there was no sherman law. According to Wil- liam Snyder, head keeper of the Central park menagerie, the great buffalo took his place in the park in those times when Bryan had been defeated only once for the presidency And he is to be sold at auction in the sheepfold of the park, near Eighty-sixth street and Eighth avenue, provided that some one is willing to pay at least $500 for him.
 His is the finest buffalo head In cap- tNty," said MT Snyder. "I have re- ceived offers of slO00 for 1t from several sportsmen, but I held off until the auc- ton when every one can have chance.
 But when Mir. Snyder drops hls busi- ness attitude, which is quite necessary when 1t Is recalled that he must buy or e male Siberian tiger and one female In- dian leopard as vet uncaught out of the proceeds of the sale of the king of tho buffalo herd, he is sad. very sad at the passing of Black Diamond The patri- arch Ia 32 years old and has been in the park for 19 years.

Economy in Buying

''l have been reading a series of arti- cles relative to domestic economies of one kind and another. From these 1 learn that the housekeeper who does not buy provisions by the quantity is little bat-' ter than a thief and a robber of her husbands pocket. She would save $1 .25 upon every barrel of flour and mercy knows how much upon butter and sugar in the course of the year. But what I would ask are we poor dwellers in flats to do when we have no storerooms for barrels and boxes and bags containing pounds upon pounds of foodstuffs? l am told to buy canned goods by the dozen and save 30 cents upon every 12. 1 could not make room in my tiny pantry for doz- ems ot anything. Yet 1 have what we con- slider a commodous eight-room apartment, with bathrooms, dumb waiter etc. How am l to refrain from robbng John2
 DISTRESSED HToUSEMOTHER,"
 Comfort yourself measurably by reflect ing that the French-the best economists. as they are tho best cooks in the world buy In small quantities, even when they have rooms in which to bestow their goods They maintain there Is less waste in the long run, that hlrelings are law ish Ill proportion to the quantity of ma terals at their disposal (which Is true in every country) and that not a scrap goes to waste when just enough is bought for the days consumption. My own eN- perionce in two years residence upon the oontinent-during most of which time l kept house-fairly converted me to the views of our French housewife.

Recipe for Johnny Cake

Tn answer to a request in your Corner by Mrs. l. C., here is an old-fashioned tested recipe for Johnny cake: One and one-third cups of sweet milk. two cups of cornmeal, one cup of flour. half cup of lard, two tablespoons of sugar, one table spoon of molasses two teaspoons of balS- ing powder. Use milk and water, if you wish. For a small cake, use half of the quantity l mention, and bake in a small bread tin. To remove coffee stains, put into sweet milk and set in warm place, till the milk thlckens and sours; rinse well and wash as usual. Can any one tell me who composed the music for the popular photograph record. The Flower Girl'? It Is band piece. l have been told 1t was composed by an Indian band leader, whose home was once in Medina, N. Y
 MRS. J. H."
 A bit of miscellany from the hand of the new member who has enriched the Corner of late with much that Is valu- able. The recipe she offers. for Johnny cake Is of northern origin and will be rec ognlzed gratefully by housewives who ate 1t 1 nthe New England and middle states. That made at the south was a different cake. Some day I shall please myself by publishing it. Truth forces the concession that. to the uninitiated palate 1t was far less toothsome than that for which we thank Mrs. J. H. Her household hint Is new to me. It has reason to sup port it. The query with regard to the record music is referred.

EXPECT BULL|SH COTTON REPORT
Government Report Up to July p to be Issued
 Today

New Orleans, August 1.-Cotton last week. standing at the lowest 20 to 22 points under the previous week s close and 30 to 32 points over the high The close was at a net gain of 10 to 13 points. Reports of damage to the growing crop through drouth was the main stimulating influence, although toward the weekend many traders ap- peared to be expecting a bullish report on condition from the government to- morrow. Reports of shedding and forced maturity of bolls caused not only fresh long buying, but also brought about a fairly large volume of short covering, At the end of the week there was hardly a state In the belt which was not claiming deterioration throue h lack of rain.
 The lower prices of the week were made Monday, following receipt of the news of the torpedoring of the Lee lanaw. This incident. however, had only passing influence on the market
 This week Is likely to gee prevailing weather conditions the dominating factor, unless strong war or world political developments arise. With con tinued drouth bullish sentiment Is bound to be stimulated. On the other hand, good rains over the belt, or the prospect of rains, would result in heavy selling. At II o'clock New Orleans time, on the opening session, the governmert t will issue its report on the condition of the crop down to July 25. This re e- rort may move prices strongly one way or the other, but the figures are bound fnrOnffan ~pt uation which has developed in the belt during the last few days
