Takina Care of the Careless.

"Self-preservation is the first law OF
nature" Every one says it, but no
pne proves it. After unnumbered cen
turtles men cannot take care of them
selves. They never could. Each man
Is his brothers keeper. But 1t is
harder now than ever, especially in
big city. A moments negligence or
Observation-Disclosures or temerity and
the policeman has to ring for the am
bulance.
Recognizing the inability of people
to take care of themselves and of the
thronging, hurrying, self-engrossed In
ability of the units to take care of one
another, Director of Public Safety Por-
ter has formed a committee whose
duty it shall be to make Philadelphia
a safer city in which to live. The
idea is good and the committee has
large and difficult task to accom-
plish. The movement should have the
encouragement of every humane citi

Rheumatic Throat

To Prevent Recurrence.

There are successful gargles that stop
soreness in the throat, but to prevent their
incessant return, the blood must be put in
order The best remedy Is S. s. s., as 1t
influences all the functions of the body to
neutraliZe the irritants or waste products
and to stimulate their excretion through
the proper channels.
Rheumatic sore throat Is dangerous
Indication, as 1t means that the blood Is
loaded with more uric acid than the kid
neys can excrete, and may thus lead to
serious general disturbance.
The action of S. s. s. stimulates cellular
activity. 1t prevents the accumulation OF
irritants in local spots. 1t enables the
arteries to supply quickly the new red
blood to replace worn-out tissue.
For this reason uric acid that finds the
throat an easy prey to Its breaking down
influence, Is scattered and eliminated. In
other words, s. s. s. prevents chronic con-

MANY BACHELORS IN BRITAIN
Newspaper Points Out That There 10
Plenty of Material for the
"New Army"

England is the land of bachelors, so
here is plenty of material for our
new army" without any of the mar
led men. Indeed, we could safely
exempt not only the married but the
betrothed and still raise an army of
100000 men, assuming, as we surely
nay, that only one man in two be-
:ween the ages of twenty and thirty.
i've is physically fit. One works it
)ut in this way: In England and
Wales alone there are 4,250,000 men
between the ages of twenty and thir-
:y-five, and over 2,250,000 of them are
bachelors. To give the round figures,
between the ages of twenty and twen-
y-five there are 1,275,000 bachelors to
,75,O00 married men; from twenty-five
% thirty there are 10000 bachelors
% 100000 married men (half and
lalf), and from thirty to thirty-five
here are $4,000 bachelors to 1,000,-
700 married men. This gives us our
:otal Of 2,250,000 bachelors of all re-
irritable ages in England and Wales
llone.
1t remains to show that there are
million bachelors who are not en-
gagged to be married Tor rather who
ire certain not to marry, for the num-
DER not engaged to be married must
De larger. Between twenty and twen-
y-fve, naturally, most men are bach
slors; to be exact, five out of six are
Unmarried. Between the ages of twen-
y-ffve and thirty one man in two is
bachelor. Between thirty and thir-
:y-five one man in four is bachelor.
Between thirty-fve and forty one man
five is a bachelor, between forty
Ind forty-five one in seven, and be-
:ween forty-five and fifty one in eight.
One may consider that men who are
still unmarried between thirty-five and
forty are pretty confirmed bachelors,
10 one may take 1t that one-ifth of
he total male population has no in
ention or expectation of marrying.
This gives us over eight hundred thou
sand bachelors Assuming half of
hem to be physically fit, that gives
IS 100000 men. The remaining 100,-
700 could be thrown in by Scotland
md Ireland, representing the proper
ion of their population to that Of

Gettina Lead From Radlum.

A very interesting paper by K. Fa-
jams on the different atomic weights
of lead was read recently before the
Bunsen Gesellschaft fuer angewandte
physikalische Chemie at Leipzig Ac-
cording to a line of reasoning, stimuli
taneously developed by Fajans and
Soddy during the last few years, lead
derived from radium and lead derived
from thorium by the loss of five and
six atoms of helium, respectively,
should be identical, except in atomic
weight.
Throughout the past year Doctor
Fajans' assistant, Doctor Lembert, has
been working in Richards laboratory
at Harvard, in order to obtain atomic
weights of as high degree Of trust
worthiness as possible.
The differences established by the
series of determinations announced at
the meeting by Fajans amount to
about 03 per cent. In this connection
1t is interesting to note that Soddy
and Hymans read paper before the
London Chemical society early in the
spring, in which they likewise de-
scribed experiments which showed a
difference between thorite lead and
ordinary lead of 0.5 per cent.

War and Friendship.

There are friendships among lovers
of science and of literature that even
the bitterness of war fails to break.
1t was Alexander Won Humboldt, when
the distinguished Arago was being
abused, who, with a sigh, said, All,
that enemy is one of my dearest
friends!" For several years there
has lived at Gedre, little village hid
den in the Pyrenees, Monsieur Ron
don, kno wn to entomologists far and
wide as an enthusiastic collector of
butterflies. And M. Rondon is on the
most amicable terms with Marshal
Won der Goltz, the personal friend Of
the kaiser, former organizer of the
Turkish army Marshal Won der Goltz
is himself an enthusiastic collector of
butterflies. He is even said to think
more of his lepidopterous treasures
than of his trade as a soldier. He
has written a number of articles on
entomology and more than ore of
these has been dedicated to M. Ron
don. There is even rare and deli
cate butterfly that bears the name of
this warlike Teuton.

REALLY ODD SAVINGS BANK
Most Curious Hiding Place for
Her Money.

With the coming of the pay enve-
lope for women has developed the
evolution of the broken-nosed teapot
as a savings bank. Many and varied
are the methods women have worked
out to save money, although 1t is only
within the last fifty years that the av-
erage woman has had to consider the
problem individually. With their "go.
ing to business however, questions
of finance and investment have come
to them.
Many amusing incidents of the brok.
en-nosed teapot as savings bank have
come to light. There is a story OF

ed silver so fast that he could moi
spend it, though he bought pianos and
ponies by the carload, and all the
metal work in the palace that stood
where his old adobe hut had once been
built was of silver.
Alvaredo had no faith in banks and
kept great quantities of cash in his
house. Naturally, much of this came
into the hands of Sonora Alvaredo
The sonora had a special bed quilt
which always covered her at night and
was never far away in the day time
When the sonora died her maid went
to Alvaredo and asked for the quilt
But AlVaredo was superstitious and
disliked to give away anything to
which his wife had been so much at
tached. He offered the woman money
instead and, though dollars were no
longer flowing in at the rate of 10000
day, he was generous in the matter.
But the girl insisted that she would
have no memorial Of her mistress but
the quilt
Finally Alvaredo's suspicious were
thoroughly aroused and he ripped the
quilt to pieces. 1t contained $4,000
In $1,000 pieces. Among them was a
letter from the sonora saying that she
had saved the money for her two sons
and directed that it be put in the bank
to their credit. And now the young
men are being educated in an Ameri-
can college upon the interest of their
mothers savings.-From the Business

Surely there is some close relation

of dress. 1t would be quite impossible
to imagine the hoopskirt and slender
