FACTORY
WRECKED

KINGSPORT, Tenn, May 7. =
One-third of the mammoth NUM-
tions plant of the Fedefal Dye
stuff &c Chemical Co. was destroy
ed here early today by a terrific
explosion.
One man was killed and two
others probably fatally burned.
No statement was obtainable
this forenoon as so the cause of
the explosion.
Some of the federal troops sta
toned outside the factory we're
thrown to the ground by the shock
of the explosion. None we're re-
ported injured.
Widest excitement followed the
explosion and officials feared for
the safety of the suspects should
any be arrested.
For weeks the greatest precau-
tions have been taken to protect
the plant. All new employees have
been carefully scrutinized.
Extra precautions had been
taken to guard the munitions
works following the Eddystone,
Pa, explosion. The plant has
been running "a hours daily with
three shifts.
The shock of the explosion was
felt for many miles.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May THE
middle vests unrivaled reception
of the great warriors and states
men is at an end. With the
cheers OF the flag-strewn crowd
which watched the special out of
sight here today, echoing in the
distance, Premier Viviani and
Gen. Joffre turned their steps to-
ward the grave of Lincoln.
Perhaps the most impressive
and significant moment of the
French commissions tour of the
west will come when, in the pres
enos of great gathering of those
common people for whom all
three have given the best efforts
of their lives, Rene Viviani and
Joseph Joffre, leaders in the war
for the emancipation of the world,
do homage before the tomb of
Abraham Lincoln, emancipation of
a nation.
Today. after leaving Spring
field, the French commission
bowed farewell to dipped colors
Of the American garden spot and
sped across Indiana into the east
for other conquests.
But for the moment, the eyes
of the world are turned toward
three great figures in history who
met in spirit in the shadow of
Lincolns resting place. These
three have much in common.
Men of few words, all of them;
and of great deeds.
Only a moment of the hours
stop at Springfield will be allot-
ted to the simple ceremony at Lin
coins tomb. But in that moment

BARNUM AND BAILEY SHOW
is COMING TO KALAMAZOO.

Once again the glad tidings are be-
ing spread broadcast telling of the
coming of Balnum and Bailey's cir
Gus. The greatest show on Earth, it
is announced, will positively be ex-
hibited within easy travelling distance
this season, and, as usual, a large
percentage of the population will de-
clare a holiday to visit the show.
The big circus will exhibit at Kala-
mazoo on September first.
1t is promised that nothing to COM
pare with the present Barnum and
Bailey performance has ever before
been seen under canvas. New and
novel features have been imported
from abroad and program of events
thrilling, educational and screamingly
funny, will occupy every instant in
three rings, tour stages, the riggings
above the hippodrome surrounding
for more than three hours.
There is a new and gorgeous
pageant entitled aladdin and His
Wonderful Lamp" in which nearly
1,400 persons and 1000 animals APP
pear in magnificent costumes rivaling
the dress of the people of the famous
arabian Nights" story. This will
be followed by host of acts in all
parts of the great inclosure. There
will be sixty clowns, a greatly in
creased menagerie of wild and I'M
tanned animals, four great herds Of
elephants, several caravans of camels
and many recently born baby animals.
The free street parade, which will
start from the circus lot at ten
o'clock on the morning of the circus
day, is entirely different from any
thing of the kind ever shown before.
1t will be three miles in length and
there will be bands on foot, on horse
back, and riding on top of wagons of
red and gold. There will be six bands
in all and they will be assisted by
three steam calliopes and an electric
piano.
With the largest tent in the history
of all circuses, the Barnum and Bailey
circus promises this season to make
good again its boast that it is the
Greatest Show on Earth. Five
railroad trains comprising eighty-nine
railroad cars, will be required to
transport its parapernalia, and more
than $50 horses will be used to trans
fer its wagons from the railroad
yards to the show lot.

CRUSADE AGAINST TUBERCU-
LOSIS WILL BE BENEFITED.

Ann Arbor, August 22nd. Conduct
ing physical examinations "a la
nature" the system that anti-tuber-
culosis workers have been insisting on
for years, is going to receive ire
mendous boost as a result of the
draft examinations that are now be-
ing held throughout the country. At
these draft tests the registrants COM
before he boards in focks of ten or 8
dozen and they come like the Hindu
in the song who "for clothing made
his skin do"
All competent physicians know that
that is the only way in which real
PHYSICAL examination can be conduct
ed. An examination through the cloth
ing is worth practically nothing. But
it has been a hard struggle for ply
sicians to bring the public to that way
of thinking. In the campaign against
tuberculosis in Michigan much head
way has been made in persuading the
public that they must not be satisfied
with doctor who allows them to
leave the chest and back covered
while he is conducting the examina-
ton.
In the Michigan tuberculosis survey
the motto that covered this point was
"Shirts Off, and no one was allowed
to submit to any other kind of an
examination. The Michigan Anti
tuberculosis association is doing it!
best to educate the general public to
demand such examinations from their
family physicians. The society de-
clares it is the only kind that is
worth having.
Thousands of young men are being
compelled by the government doctors
| to do more than take their shirts off.
A large number of them are receiving
/ their first physical examination, and
the experience is an eye-opener to
them. This experience is eXpectd to
remove much of the opposition to
physical examinations on the bare skin
and the draft tests in that way will
be of service in reinforcing the pro-
paganda of the states anti-tuber-
| culosis workers.
