solitude. To one, the quiet which

eternal restlessness which brings

the rigidity of self-distrust which de-

Correspondence of The
Associated Press. )-One of the most
spectacular election campaigns that
England has ever witnessed was made
by Pemberton-Billing an aviator, who
was the successful candidate for mem
Der of the house of commons for East
Herts, a thriving English community.
Mr.. Billing was dissatisfied with the
governments policy Of attempting to
fight off the Zeppelins and ran as the
"airman candidate" so that he could
get into parliament and as he himself
said proceed to make England wake
up"
Billings did his electioneering
dressed as an aviator. He made per-
sonal tour Of the constituency and
proceeded to 'buttonhole" the voters
in much the same style that was popu-
lar with the old-time politicians in the
United States. Billings also used mo-
tor cars and motorcycles to reach the
voters. He always carried a minia-
ture Zeppelin around with him.
Until few months ago Mr.. Billings
was a squadron commander in the
British Royal Naval Air service. He
took large part in planning a raid
against the Zeppelin headquarters at
Lake Constance and afterwards filled
a post in the anti-aircraft service in
England. Then he became dissatisfied
with the governments aircraft policy
and, because he could not have his
way in the manner he thought the gov
eminent ought to treat the raiding
zeppelins, he quit the service.
Billings claims the British air SER
vice is inadequate and wants 1t put on
a war basis. His scheme includes the
appointment of an air minister and
the building of 5000 aeroplanes with
in six months. Great Britain should
control the air, the new member
argues.
"To ensure the defense of Great
Britain against Zeppelins," Mr.. Billings
said In his numerous speeches, there
should be $50 machines. with a speed
of 80 miles an hour, each capable of
destroying an airship at range of not
less than a mile, 80 to be continually
ready to fly any moment. In addition
each squadron of 10 aeroplanes should
have five patrol machines, equal to
lis miles an hour, to fight the German
aeroplanes. They should be armed
with machine gune firing explosive

The Daily Story
After Kid Mulligan-By Alan Hins1ale.

That he had made a very favorable
impression was evident fsom the col
lection, which for SO sail a place
was considerable The congregation
departed, and the two clergymen went
into the vestry rom, the one to turn
over, the other I'd receive the contribu.
tons. I listened under an open win
dow and heard 'Tyeth bid the rector
goodby, saying that he must be of
early the next morning.
Having seen the young man enter
the tavern and go to his room, l wait
ed for an hour, then told the landlord
that l wished to speak to Mr.. Wyeth
and asked him to go to his room with
me. I had reasons for wishing the
landlord with me which will appear
presently. He consented, and, taking
a candle, we went to the clergyman's
room and knocked on the door.
Who's there?'
The landlord and I looked at each
other. The voice sounded like that OF
a woman suddenly awakened.
"a gentleman wishes to speak with
you, Mr.. Wyeth," said the landlord.
Its too late. I've gone to bed"
This time the voice had lost something
of its femininity.
Ny mind was made up. The door
was locked. Drawing off, I gave 1t
kick, and it few open. Mr. Wyeth was
revealed in bed pulling the covers up
to his, chin. Approaching, l drew
them down far enough to expose bis
neck.
81 thought So" I remarked to the
landlord. Then, turning to the woman,
I said:
'1'll trouble you for the church col
lection"
The secret being out, she surrender
ed without objection. She had forged
her credentials. Though she was not
Kid Mulligan, she was very near to
him, being his sister. I was disap-
pointed in getting her instead Of him,
for he was far more slippery and dan
gerous to handle.

Zurich, Switzerland.-Jan Kubelik,

In the Revue Medicale de la Suite
Romande, March, 1915, DR.. r. Messerli
reports some excellent results In the
treatment of simple goitre by the
daily administration, for period Of
several weeks, Of active intestinal
antiseptics, such as thymol, salol,
benzonapthol The salol was given in
doses Of Is grains, twice a day. 1t is
best taken an hour or two after food,
and must be discontinued IL any signs
Of kidney irritation appear, such as
dark colored urine, pain, or frequen-
cy For salol is nothing but COM
bination Of salicylic acid and carbolic
acid, and carbolic acid is apt to irri-
tate the kidneys.
In every instance in which these
remedies were given there was dis
tinct improvement, a reduction of
from two to two and one-half inches
in the circumference Of the neck, with
but single exception. Generally the
enlarged thyroid completely disap-
peared.
From India DR.. MacCarrison re-
ports experiments in which goitre was
produced by the drinking Of polluted
water, and cleared up by the admins
tration Of intestinal antiseptics.
Other laxatives have some reputa-
ton for curing goitre, probably by
mechanically clearing away large
masses of bacteria from the intestine.
The greater part Of the bulk Of focal
matter In health consists Of the dead
bodies Of bacteria.
It Is possible that antiseptics direct
ly influence the production Of some
specific producing agent In the
bowel. Or they may simply dimin-
ish the putrefactive changes always
occurring in the intestine Of meat eat
ers, and so remove some Of the func-
tional burden from the thyroid gland,
which is physiologically concerned in
the destruction or burning up Of pto-
maines or injurious toxins from any
source.

ROOSEVELT. THE CUNNING.

In furtherance of his determination
to force the republican party to re-
habilitate him and again nominate
him for president, Colonel Roosevelt
is playing as shrewd and clever a
game Of politics as has ever attract
ed public attention in this country
Giving out at one time an unequivocal
statement that under no circum-
stances would he consider candidacy
for the presidency again-unless an
heroic character is desired-it is now
announced again In his behalf that he
Is positively not candidate, and does
not want to be; but here again comes
the alification-unless there is a
really emphatic demand on the part
Of the party for his leadership.
Meanwhile, to make sure that the
conditions do not miscarry, Colonel
Roosevelt is keeping himself on the
front page by giving out statements
attacking and slandering the presi-
dent OF the United States, and at the
same time his emissaries are abroad
in the land addressing public meet
ings in behalf Of Roosevelt and Safe
ty" and pushing the campaign with
the assistance Of paid press agents.
And by the time the republican ma
tional convention assemblies the colo
mel will be thoroughly convinced that
the party wants an heroic character,
such as measures up to his standard
and specifications, and that the call Is
sufficiently emphatic to justify him in
changing his mind again-and he will
be on hand to see that the signs Of the
times. as they are read through his
spectacles, do not miscarry, or he will
know the reason why.

bullets Each machine should have
searchlight with range of at least a
mile"
Billings also has very definite ideas
about how to control the air defense.
He would have an air director who
would have on the wall Of his room in
the war office a map Of England, Is
fet square, painted on glass and di-
vided into 100 squares. Each square
would be in electrical contact with the
local headquarters of the correspond
ing square of country. There should
be another map, similarly squared. on
table, and In the center Of each
square would be Geographic key. By
touching any one Of the Geographic
keys an operator would communicate
instantly with the local commander of
the square in the country. The local
commander would instantly signal the
receipt Of the message by pressing a
button which would illuminate his par
ticular square in the glass wall map in
front OF the directors eyes.
