Since the endurance test last week
on the race track at Curtis Neck
Farm. the Marathon tire, which is
handled exclusively in Virginia and
North Carolina by e L. Taylor & Co..
Inc, 1415 East Main Street, Is now
one Of the most popular tires in the
country.
This tire Is made of the very best
material obtainable and its worth to
the automobiles has been thoroughly
demonstrated time and time again,
and its durability was given thor
ough test in the recent endurance run,
In which the time, as well as the
Buick car, is believed to have estab-
lished worlds record for consecutive
running. After twenty-four hours of
running the tires came out in great
shape, not a single mishap occurring.
Despite the fact that they ran more
than 1000 miles under the most try
ing conditions, these tires are still
good and they can yet run more than
their guaranteed 5000 miles These
tires were highly commended by M.
d. Stone. of the Stone Motor Com
pany.

Taylor's place of business on East

1t is we'll known to the general
public that there had been in our
country. especially i'll the eastern
states, during this summer a
widespread epidemic of infantile
paral ysis. In the city of New York
alone there have occurred over
5000 cases OF this terrible dis
ease. 1t is a dreadful afiliction
not only on account of the fact
that it often has a high mortality,
but on account of the additional
fact that even those children who
do not succumb, but recover
sometimes remain paralyzed for
the rest of their life and have to

THE KINGS PLEASURE"

There is, says the Boston
Globe, one good thing about off,
cial whitewash: 1t always comes
off, 1t has begun to come off the
case of Captain Bowen-Colthurst,
the English army officer who Or
dered the shooting of F. Shelby
Skeffington, an innocent man,
and youngster named Coade, an
innocent boy, during the Dublin
revolution last spring.
The English captain was found
insane and ordered to be confined
"at the Kings pleasure" I'm
less he was insane, this punish
ment was as a severe slap on the
wrist. In the present commits
sion's report it would appear that
Captain Bowen-Colthurst put a
forged document on SkeAington's
dead body in order to excuse his
act in having him shot. The
document was intended to convey
that his victim was implicated in
the revolutionary plot. AS Polon-
ious said to Hamlet: eff this be
madness, l fear there's method in
it."
If an officer, continues our con-
temporary, has wit enough to
commit forgery to escape the con-
sequences of killing an innocent
man during all orgy of military
revenge, what, may the world ask,
is now the Kings pleasure?

Nagasaki escaped death because
of their isolation, and for three
hundred years they remained
faithful, handing their religion
down from father to son, worship
ping in the utmost secrecy, in
caves of the seaslore and on their
fishing vessels, concealing their
images of the Virgin and some
crosses and sacred vessels in fs-
sures of the rocks and under the
earth and sand, and even spread
ing the faith until, in 1867, there
were twenty thousand of them
holding fast to their religious con-
victions when discovery of the
secret would have meant sure
death.
In this case it was again proved
that The blood of the martyrs is
the seed of the Church," as it
was i'll the days of Nero and other
Roman emperors who nailed thou
sands of Christians head down"
to crosses, poured pitch over their
bodies and set them afre, the
blaze of these long lanes of hu-
man torches lighting the roadway

PRIEST HERO OF CIVIL WAR
DEAD.

Rev. Hugh J. Brady, the Oldest priest
in the State of Kentucky, died on Mon
day, October Is, in Louisville. AL
though "a years old, the first real ill.,
ness Father Brady experienced caused
his death. Father Brady was born in
Ireland and was ordained a priest in
1855. He was assigned to the Cathe-
dral of the Assumption two years later.
He was with Bishop Spalding when
rioters on Bloody Monday" threat
ened to burn the church. Father
Brady went to the Mayor of Louisville
and turned over the keys of the church
to him. Thousands of soldiers during
the Civil War had occasion to remem-
Der Father Brady for many acts of
kindness. He was frequent visitor
at both the Confederate and Union hos
pitfalls. Father Brady found man hid
ing in his church who said he was car
rying food to a Southern soldier who
mad slipped across the Union lines and
was visiting with his mother. Despite
the vigilance of the Federal army, Fa-
Their Brady safely housed both men un
til they could get back to their regi-
ments.

The excess food taken into the
body must be got rid of at the ex-
pense of energy. Worry is an
other thing which draws heavily
on the reserve force. Worry has
been called the great shortener of
life. Ii one could only be made to
understand that it doesn't do one
ounce of good, but does pounds
and pounds of harm, how much
happier and healthier the worry
ing person would be.
There is an old Chinese prov
erb that it would be we'll for the
one who has the habit of worry
ing to learn, and it is this: THE
legs OF the stork are long, the legs
of the duck are short; you cannot
make the legs of the stork short,
neither can you make the legs Of
the duck long. Why worry?
If one has lost much reserve
force and shows only very little
to his credit in his vital bank
book, he should start at once to
renew his energy. This can be
done by obtaining the proper
amount of sleep, fresh air, exer-
else and good. 1t is a happy COIN
cidence that the man with large
credit to his vital bank account
usually has similar credit to his
financial bank account. With
health and training, the world is
at command.

the commissioner of health of the

the commissioner of health of the
city of Chicago, returned from
one of these conferences and
after having studied the disease in
the East, he appointed an Infan-
tile Paralysis Research Commits
sion, composed of number of
prominent physicians, and as the
chairman of this commission DR..
Macmillan Herzog, professor of
bacteriology and dean of the
Medical School OF Loyola Uni
versity, a Catholic.
Professor Herzog began to
study the disease at the Cook
County Hospital, where the cases
occurring in Chicago had been
quarantined in August, and he has
been able to discover microbe
which appears to be the cause of
the disease. He has also been
able to produce the disease in
monkeys and other lower animals
so that there appears to be some
hope now that science may be able
to produce and discover So
called antitoxin ior the efficient
treatment of infantile paralysis in
its earliest stages, and for the pre-
vention of the permanent paraly-
sis which is often so fatal to those
who have been afflicted.
The authorities OF Loyola Uni
versity are pleased to know that
the dean OF the Medical Depart
ment has contributed something
towards the solution of cure of
infantile paralysis, The work will
be continued during the coming
year as far as the limited means
of Loyola will permit.

WORRY THE GREAT SHORT.
ENER OF LIFE.

How much credit have you in
the bank OF life? The answer you
give determines your strength.
Without sufficient supply of re-
serve force, one will not be able
to endure the unexpected calls
made upon the mind and body.
1t is only by hygienic mode OF
living that the reservoir of vital
force can be kept filled. The per-
son with the best equipped reser-
voir is the one who will win out
in the battle of life.
The person who eats more than
is necessary makes an unneces-
sary demand on the reserve force.

writer who travelled through Ire

hand. This writer says: Gle
would be blind indeed who So
journed an hour or two in most
towns in the south, west, or east
of Ireland without being amazed
at the profound feelings which
have been stirred by the Dublin
executions. Those feelings may
be objectionable from any equi-
table point OF view, but that they
exist to the verge OF a dangerous
passion is the fact which it would
be folly to ignore. Thus,
a great movement has developed,
and, i'll spite of military restraints,
its strength and dimensions are
visible everywhere. In the coun-
ties of the South, Southwest,
West and East it has spread rap
idly. Sim Fem colors are worn !;
Sim Fem flags are unfurled when
opportunity occurs; Sim Fem
literature is published and is
bought in quantities; Sim Fem
