Iughes with Roosevelt and War

Roosevelt says we should
hang our heads in shame be-
cause we are not at war with
Germany in behalf of Belgium!
Roosevelt says that follow

diplomacy and seized every
ship in our ports flying the

NO PLAGUE CURE,

Active Measures in Acute
Stages of Paralysis
Called Peril

Washington, Nov. 3.-"There is no
specific treatment of established value
in poliomyelitis," states the report Of
the United States Public Health Ser
vice, which was given out to-day.
During the recent scourge which
swept the eastern section of the coun-
try many so-called cures were an
nounced. Several were vouched for by
reputable institutions and doctors. All
have been observed by the Public
Health Service. IN reviewing these the
report says:
During the persistence of the acute
symptoms of the disease the important
principles of treatment are rest IN
bed. symptomatic relief and passive
support for the prevention Of deform-
tiles. Active measures during TINS
stage are not only useless, but are apt
to cause serious and often permanent
injury.

ganism, a so-called virus, which may
positively be identified at present only

monkeys experimentally inoculated.
The committee recommends the fol-
lowing procedure in attempting to con-
troll the disease Requirement that all
recognized and suspected cases be
promptly reported; isolation Of pa
tients in screened premises for at least
six weeks; exclusion of children from
school or other gatherings; protection
of children from contact with other
children or the general public during
epidemics: observation of contacts for
two weeks after the last exposure.
After-Care Needed
"The best chances of recovery from
residual paralysis come with skilful
after-care.

GAY OLD TINE WHEN
REPUBLICANS MEET

Chicago, May 27.-Indications are
that the Republican National Con
vention of 1916 will be one of the
noisiest and most exciting in the his.
tory of the party.
With 16 candidates for President
in the field and with the result in
doubt until the last ballot has been
taken, there is likely to be an unu-
sual amount of noise and enthu-
siasm.
Fred w. Upham, Chairman of the
local Committee on Arrangements.
was informed that plans have been
made to bring more than 100 bands
and so glee and marching clubs to
Chicago during convention week.
Harry Daugherty, of Columbus, tel
egraphed that he would bring a glee
club of 65 voices to Chicago to boom
the candidacy of Theodore E. Bur-
ton, of Ohio.
Word comes from Indiana that ev-
cry large city in the State is plan
ming to send either band or a
marching club to the convention for
Charles w. Fairbanks. Similar re-
ports were received from other
States which have candidates.
The demand for convention tick
cts continues to increase. Season
tickets are quoted at $3.50 each.
Sergeant-at-Arms William F. Stone
has begun the appointment of his l.
900 assistants, which include 1900

EVELYN NEsBIT THAW
IS ONCE MORE A BRIDE

New York, May 24.-Evelyn Mes.
bit Thaw and John Clifford, her
dancing partner for three years
went from New York to Baltimore
to-day and we're married. They re-
turned to New York this evening.
This latest chapter in the life OF
Evelyn Thaw was not unexpected.
Mrs. Thaw had been closely and con-
stantly associated with Clifford. She
has spent the summers with him at
his camp in the Adirondacks and
has been seen very little in the
Broadway resorts where once she
was well known.
The Cliffords have recently COM
pleted tour in vaudeville and are
believed to have made the first act
of their vacation their marriage.

possibilities of wealth in accepting
good money for seeds that would

Once FIourishing Com.
munity Is No More.
ONLY 6 OF ITS 200 MEMBERS
Still Remain At Enfield, Conn.
Land and Big Buildings
Now All Gone.
WERE OFFsHOOT OF QUAKERS

The Shaker community at En-
field, Conn, which fiourished TO
more than 100 years and which onc'
numbered 200 persons, is no more
Only a half dozen of the members
of the cult which barred liquor ant
tobacco and ate little or no meat
remain, and they have sold the /,
700 broad acres and $4,000 worth
of buildings which formerly were
needed.
1t is a strange freak of facts that
the land is now being used to grow
tobacco, and the community houses
hospital, church, school and cottages
are being converted into quarters
for the workers in the tobacco fields
and into tobacco factories.
The Shakers, an offshoot of the
Quakers, comprised 1000 men, wo-
men and children in 20 communities
in 1887. Twenty years later there
were only 1000, and the number of
communities was reduced to eight.
The Enfield community was
founded 125 years ago by Joseph
Meacham, constructive organizer of
the sect after the death in 1884 of
Mother" Ann Lee, the founder, who
came to America from England in
IVA. Under the sway of Meacham's
genius, the Shaker movement pros
pered and grew rapidly.
To-day at Enfield there are only
three old men and three old women,
reserving a life interest in one of
the original Shaker buildings as
their home, and from their memo
ries of the good old days they turn
to look over the fields now devoted
to growing tobacco under cloth"
which is the approved method in
Connecticut now. But they are not
soured, not disconsolate. On the
contrary they accept the situation
with exceedingly good grace.
As one listens to the conversation
of Uncle Daniel" the S5-year-old
patriarch of the Enfield Church
family" in explanation of the de-
cline of Shakerism, one gets broad
perspective of the transformation
that has taken place in the spiritual
attitude of the American people in
four decades.
He was returned forty-niner,
born in Quincy. Mass, in 1882, who
Joined this community in 1865, and

knowledge about the European war
and he is keen in his appreciation of
political conditions in this country,
although he has not voted since he

for President in 1856.
As to what has happened to his
organization, Uncle Daniel says;
1T is true that Shakerism was a |
religious inatitution, with celibacy
as a fundamental rule of conduct.
But people don't seem to want relig-
ion any more. What people want,
