ARGENTINA AGAIN
VOTES FOR BREAK
Deputies Approve Rupture With
Germany.
NEXT MOVE TO PRESIDENT
Strike Ties Up Country-Germans
Found Paying Men Not to Return
to Work-Famine Threatens
Many Cities.

Buenos Aires, Sept 26.-By a vote
of 50 to IS the Argentine chamber Of
deputies voted to support break in
relations with Germany.
The vote was on Il motion Ito pro-
coed to break relations with Germany"
The chambers vote completes Ar
gentina's legislative approval of Sc
verance of relations with Berlin. The
senate last week voted % to in favor
of such "a step.
Under the Argentine constitutional
law authorities believe President ri
goyen can override this legislative ap-
prOval by a veto if he so desires. Pub
lie opinion here, however, supported
the belief that the administration
would follow the course recommended
by the senate and deputies.
Pro-German Strike On.
Argentina is paralyzed in general
strike which tied up all railroads, cut
Off telegraphic communication and
threatens famine in scores of cities.
1t was learned on high authority
that Germans are paying many strik-
ers' expenses to prevent them reklrn-
ing to work. one hundred and twenty
thousand men are already out.
The government was strenuously at
tempting to settle the strikes today,
while agitators, equally earnest, en-
deavored to prolong the Buenos Aires
local street railway strike.
Buenos Aires is already without
milk. Electric light plants are oper-
ated only by sailors and soldiers. Food
prices scared to unheard.ot heights
today.
Government Warns Hotels.
The government advised all hotels
to barricade their windows with shut
ters and to obtain provisions enough
for fortnight, officially admitting
that continuation of the strike for
even few days will mean a food
shortage.
During the night strikers cut the
Central and South American Cable
company's land wires because they
We're within the railroads right-of-
way.
All direct communication with New
York was thereby severed. Argentine
National Telegraph lines to Chile were
also cut destroying all South Amerl-
can transcontinental communication,
except via cable to London, New York
and down the Pacific. The Pacific
cable wires to Chile were likewise
dead today.

BREAD BULLETS
 TO WIN WAR" NEW SLOGAN OF FARMERS

St. Louis, April 11.-Editors and publishers of farm journals attended a conference here yesterday at which means of impressing their 10,OOO,OOO readers with the importance of .mak- ing bumper crop this year will be planned.
 The conference was called by Sec retary of Agriculture David F. Hous- ton, to work in connection with the conference of agricultural experts.
 The farm conference has before it a resolution asking Congress to pass a law guaranteeing minimum prices for farm products and farm labor.
 Dr. Charles Mccarthy, professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin is urging the adoption of a plan to create staple market for farm products.
 "Bread bullets are going to win the war; he said, and it is up to us to act now if the farmer is to have any assurance as to disposal of his crop.
 'fWe should ask Congress to protect the farmer by establishing minimum price for his crops, and minimum price for him to pay his labor"

WASTE OF HORSES
 IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

The wastage of horses in war is enormous, says the Boston Transcript and the problem of renewing that wastage is not easy to solve. The Russians prior to the war owned 30, 900, ,0O0 horses, or about one-half of the worlds supply. In parts of West ern Siberia there is horse to every human being, while in some of the Russian provinces the Npeople raise herds of horses in place of cattle, and mares milk takes. the place of cows milk. In other provinces there are large stud farms owned by the Crown, as we'll as others privately owned.
 Countries which can muster horse to every inhabitant are exceedingly rare. Some years ago the Germans collected statistics which showed that for the whole of Europe the av- craze was about ten horses to every hundred inhabitants. Russia owned twenty-three horses to every hundred inhabitants; Austria came next with ten to the hundred, while France and Great Britain had each eight to the hundred. The United States had about twenty-eight horses to the hum dred inhabitants, and Australia fifty six. In the Argentine there were 204 horses to be set against every hun dred of it's people, and in Uruguay the proportion reached the extraordin- ary number of S7O to a hundred.

been a member of the Second Virgin ia Infantry, Stonewall brigade. He had lived many years in Harper's Ferry, and was familiar with the ar chitectural features of the engine house. The original bricks he plac- ed largely in the foundation, lest the temptation might prove too strong for relic hunters, but the iron doors are the very same that Lee burst in when he captured the man whose name was to be borne in song on the lips of eV- cry northern soldier. The rafters, too, have been preserved, and one sees the tiny room where the prisoners were confined, and wonders if the Black Hole might not have been al- most repeated had mot Browns sym pathies led him to release the great CT number of those captured. The walls are lined with neat cases with glass doors, in which it is the inten- tion to place the museum as it is col lected. Pictures of Brown, of Pres ident Lincoln, Generals Lee and Jack son and Miss Field hang in conspic- uous places, and there are several tab- lets giving the history of the building. No fee is charged but all who enter are asked to sign a register.
 The natural setting is perfect. Like an old warhorse turned out in sun- ny meadow to end it's days, the old fort, which once rang with the shouts of men and the report of mus ketry, stands high on the mQuntaln- side, wide outlook over the p1ctur- esque Shenandoah to the south, 8 roll ing sward in front, great trees close about. A turkey buzzard sails slowly across the river, squirrel chatters, a bird calls, far away sound the Wh1s- ties of the locomotives creeping about the base of the mountains carrying the commerce of the nation grown mighty since the days when the fort played it's tragic part, and coming and going on the campus walks are the young men and maidens of the race for whom John Brown paid the last debt.

THE MACHINERY OF THE BODY.
(By DIR. I. w. SHORT.)

4 The body is highly organized ma- chine of complicated parts in which the liver and the kidneys work for the common good. Damage to either one of these organs interferes with man as a motor mechanism. The automobile expert knows how important it is that the carburetor does not get too much fuel, along with sufficient air to burn or explode the gas. Too much fuel in mans machine, such as eating too much meat, or alcohol or tea, and the liver cannot turn over, nervous overwork and lack of exercise, in out door air bring constipation and bad health. Eat less meat, plenty of veg etables, and with air and good eXer- else you need little else. If the liver needs rousing-and most of us need this once a week-take a safe vegeta- ble extract of the leaves of aloe, May apple, root of jalap made into tiny sugar-coated pill, and sold by almost every druggist as Dr. Pierce's Pleas ant Pellets-frst put up nearly fifty years ago.
 Most people die eventually of an Over-acid condition. If the blood can be rendered more alkaline, the longer we live. With regular hours, plenty of water between meals, sensible coarse food and a chance to get the poisons out of the system, a man will live to be a hundred. But, unfor- tunately, our highly nervous way of living brings increased storage of uric acid in the body. This acts as a poison, and we suffer from lumbago, aches or mains rhe11ratiSn pOut
 Get rid of this uric acid poison by taking a harmless medicine called Anuric, which throws out the uric acid by stimulating the kidneys. Drink a pint of hot water before meals and take Anuric (double strength), three or four times day Anuric Gan be obtained at almost any drug store.

WALTER 1 JOHNSON WAS PICKED OUT
 BYMGHAEl SHEA

Washington, April 11----It has been definitely settled who really discov- cred Walter Johnson. It was Mike Shea, who played in the old Califor- mia League, in which, Manager Grif- fitht of the Nationals and Joe Cam tillon, zy pilot of the Minneapolis American Association team. played in their syounger days. Shea was a member of; the San Francisco club, and1 Griffith and Cantillon were once with Sacramento.
 This fact about Johnson was de- veloped in a flaming bee between the famous pitcher and Cantil1on, who was; manager of. the Washington club when Walter was brought from the West to play for the team in the na- tionss capital. = x
 Cliff Blankenship, catcher for the Washington club in the Cantillon re- gime, generally credited as the pitch er'ss discoverer, never saw Johnson pitch until the big twfrler worked for the Nationals, known as the Senators when Cantil1on was at the helm. It is true; that Blankenship took a trip to Idaho to sign Johnson, as an epissary sent by Cantillon. The latter had been tipped off to the rookie pitcher by Shea, who had seen Walter work ing in many games.
 AsGantaalon exp pfained it during the confab which took place in Augusta before the Nationals 7broke M training camp, Blankenshfp was selected to make the trip West because he was on the hospital list with injured fling CTS and without prospect of being able to go behind the bat for some time.
 It was, as close as Canti1lon could recall, about the second week in July, 1907, while the Washington club was playing a series in Philadelphia, that Blankenship. was sent to sign John son. -.
 VT caa:t, Of course. recall the exact date of the month in which Blanken- ship made his visit to me-" said John son, ''but Ifrecol1ect very distinctly middle of July, 1907, and that I was to pitch for Weiser, Idaho, where Blankenship located me- against a picked team on the following Sum- day. :
 However, Blankenshfp was i'm a hurry to return to the Washington club or somewhere else, and did not even wait to watch me pitch that con- test, and 1t was not until the early part of August when pitched my first game in Washington, that he saw me work. ~
 Tn the Idaho game just mentioned l was beaten. 1 to O, in Il innings, the opposing team having been re- cruited from players of the Pacific Coast League. Higginbotham, who was. afterWard in the big league, I believe, was their pitcher. Previous to this contest I had worked seventy five innings for Weiser without hav- ing allowed a run.
 T was a little leary about accept ing the proposition which Cantillon had instructed B1ankenship to make me, and had a pretty strong feeling that I would not make good with Washington. However, when I was assured that I would be advanced enough money to make sure that I could get back home in case I failed ] agreed to take a chance. I was nothing but a green country boy, and jumping to a dfty the size of Wash Apgton was a real sensation to me, and

T was about as nervous as it would be possible to be- Here Johnson turned to Cantillon and said: "Joe, I guess. I was the worst busher that ever broke into the big league, wasn't I?"
 Cantillon replied: ''No, you weren't, Walter. You had sense enough to keep your mouth shut, and that's more than most of them have"
 Cantillon is very fond of Johnson, and in addition to. believing that Wal ter is the best pitcher in the game, thinks he is the greatest fellow per- sona1ly.
