ease Of the Spine.

When a patient is asked to locate
his pain, he does so by movement Of
one or both his hands. The gesture,
however, not only indicates its seat,
but describes its character and dis
tribution. Physicians say that this is
an important point. If the pain Is
widely distributed over the whole
chest the patient locates it with a cir
cular rubbing motion Of the palm OF
the hand, indicating the diffused sore
ness. The pain of serious indam-
nation, on the other hand, is de-
scribed by first drawing the hand
away from the body and then, with
the fingers close together, or with the
index finger extended and the others
flexed, cautiously approaching the seat
Of the Inflammation.
In appendicitis the patient does not
touch the skin at all when asked to
locate the pain. He simply holds the
palm of his hand over the diseased
area. With very violent abdominal
pains, which are not inflammatory, the
patient slaps himself vigorously
across the abdomen on being asked
to indicate the location Of his trouble.

 vide libraries for our fighting men. This will be made possible by a $1,- l 900, 900 Library War Fund. 1 One of the heaviest items of ex- 1 pense at the beginning of this work 1 is the erection of the library build l ings at the various rcantonments 1 throughout the country. Plans for ] these have already been made Each building will be 40x120 feet in size 1 one story high and will have accom- | modations for ten thousands books, ! newspapers and magazines, and iv- 1 ing quarters for the staff. Tn each l camp it is planned to have library ! headquarters with books and peri 1 odicals for reading room use, to- gether with a complete system of distributing agencies, affording to the soldiers a first class public library l service. Without this character Of 1 service any library would be use- l less thing.

Revenue Conferences.
Washington Starl

\" dSHlIlStOn SCar)
 The conference on the revenue bill may be warm, but the mercury is not likely to rise as high as 1t did in some former conferences on questions of revenue. In 1897, although the Ding ley bill was an out-and-out protec- tion measure, tho House Republicans and the Senate Republicans differe. sharply as to certain rates and sched- utcs. and wrestlod o*c: them vigcr- oGs;y In conference. They settled tn, dispute tc advantage, hccause, as lar. tho n,caouro scored an extraordinary sIccess for both tho party and tho country. Largely a4s the result of that achievement the party remained in power sixteen years.
 Tn 1909 the Republicans differed even moro sharply na to tho Payro bill, and went into coneSyence OH It in an ugly mocc They reached a scr. cf agreement. But 1t satisfied ncitEor faction: and the next year, in the first appeal on the new law. tho voters declared against it overwhelnl- .ngiy. Tho Republican membership of -he House then elected was reducci tc C. comparatively small figure.
 S"t the Euskiest conference in point oe lime consumed and bitterness en- gendered took place !n le8I, when the LonAocrn.a of the Senate. u:lder tIo leadership of MT. German, locked horns wi.h their brethren of too House, under tho leadership of Pres. ident Cleveland. over the revenue measure that had just boon passed Neither Mr. German nor 1Ir. Cleve- lard was, of course. q sitting r.ernber of tho conference, but notll were pros ent ill spirit, strong-wiiled a.lu ds- termincd. and pulling the strings on their respective sides.
 Political Washington rocked under the contention A deadlock resulted. and a failure looked likely. A failurs was advocated by some of the Demo- cratic protectionists would cause de- feat at the coming congressional elec- tions, then only a few months away. But compromise was made. MT. Cor mar getting the big end of it. MT. Cleveland would neither sign nor veto the bill, and the next House was Re- publican by a large majority
 Those conferences were over revi- sions of the tariff, carrying number less items and afYording bases for bitter controversies. High tariff and low tariff men were in action over nearly everything. The present con- ference has a much simpler matter in hand, although there is so much mon- ey in the bill and such new questions involved that differences of opinion are being expressed with emphasis.

corporation, unlike many others, is begin with, it must pay somewhere near four and one-half per cent. of it's gross receipts to the state. Then, 1t must bear it's share of expenses in all pavements where It's tracks are laid,-on state highways and in city streets On top of this, the General Assembly in 1915 passed a law which compels the trolley company to pay one-third of the cost of all bridge construction where it's lines do ser vice in communities of less than ten thousand population. Considering these things, it is readily seen that with the Connecticut Company all Is not beer and skittles
 There will be great inconvenience to the travelling public In the payment of this six cent fare. To somewhat ameliorate this condition the Com pany announces that it will sell seventeen tickets for one dollar. At present twenty LlCketS can De puF- chased for that amount and all such tickets bought before the high rate goes into effect will be redeemed under the new arrangement Should there be run on the ticket office the company will give privileges to all those who express a desire to pur- chase tickets and issue same at later date, the rate being, as specified, seventeen for one dollar.
 As in other things the public will get used to the new fare if the Public Utilities Commission allows it to be enforced. Having grown used to every thing but hanging, the public will take the change in rate of fare with a cheerful countenance and merely smile at the conductors who must handle the extra penny. At the same time the patrons of trolleys will pray that the six cent fare will suffice; that it will not eventually give way for a seven cent one.

 The latest number of the London Times to reach this office speaks Of the recruiting of a woman's army in Britain. Evidently the Russian girls are not the only ones ready to fight for their country, if need be. The London Times says: Mrs Chalmers Watson, the chief controller of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps stat ed yesterday in conversation with a representative of the Times, that the corps Is entirely military except on the financial side The pay Is on civ il basis, she said. We had thought it might have been possible to have the women recruited on exactly the same terms as the men, with their army pay, the separation allowances where necessary, but this was not considered advisable by the financial authorities at the War Office We want it widely known that great care will be taken of the girls overseas.' !"

What a Man Has Done Who Was

 as Speculator.
 (Syracuse Post-Standard).
 The Wall street stockholder has be- come the worlds greatest purchasing agent. Bernard M Baruch was a clerk in a Wall street office 20 years ago. He went into business for him. self. He has had desk, a couple of stenographers and messenger. He has traded ill stocks so successfully that he is worth $10.000,000. He Is now buying s100,o0O,0o0 worth of goods for the government and, un- like his better known colleague, Julius Rosenwald. he never did any buying; of goods before. Securities were his line. The New York Annalist say., 6. him:
 His name is not in Who's Who In America" nor even in Who's Who Ia New York: hc does not hold A line in the directory of directors. He has never been called captain of indus try nor genius In organization. All that the world at large knows of hin, is that he used to be big specula- tor"
 Baruch is AZ years old. He is son of a distinguished surgeon. He nas been packer of Wilson since Will son entered politics. Wilson SLn- moned him to Washington to become member of the advisory council. He shut his desk and went. The An- nalist continues
 Baruch is tall-he stands over six 1eet-spare, and quick moving. IIis hair is black, with broad streaks of gray. He has an engaging personal 1ty, talks emphatically and interest 1ngly on any subject, and speaks his mind freely. He numbers some of the biggest men in New York among his close friends, and lunches with them every day when downtown His offices on the seventh floor of the Trinity Building are characteristic of the man. The main room, looking out over Broadway and the old church. yard, is filled with trophies of the hunt. The hallway is lined with l mounted specimens of big fish. Ha has no customers but himself, and nearly all his work is handled by two 1 women secretaries, in both of whom | he puts absolute confidence. Thera | is no ticker in the room in which he | works.
 ! Barney Baruch enjoys as high a reputation for scrupulous honesty as l oHy lldll III lHe street. HIS COnCop- ton of honesty sometimes puzzles 1 Wall street. Two years ago he was allotted a large block of stock in a new industry company at the under 1 writing price. When he got his mo- tice the stock showed him a profit of nearly half a million. He returned the stock with the explanation that as member of the advisory council
 he could have nothing to do with it. 2 'Baruch has demonstrated a won-
 derful ability for getting things done ] expeditiously without becoming en-
 snarled al sred tape, and as this quail
 ity is essential above all others at
 this critical time, 1t is likely that he
 will justify the expectations which the
 administration has of him."
