TEST LUNGS AT MEADE
Government Experts Will Examine
Each One Of 10000 Men For
Tuberculosis.

Government tuberculosis experts ar
rived at Camp Meade yesterday morn.
ing to examine the 1000 men at the
csntonment to ascertain whether any
are suffering from tubercular trouble.
The examinations began yesterday aft
ernool and each man will be put
through rapid test.
If any are found suffering from the
disease in an advanced stage they
will be sent to their homes. Those
found to have the disease only in an
incipient stsge will be treated at the
various Government hospitals, as we'll

they are liable to contract the disease,
even though they are in perfect health
now. Those men will be given treat

ems them.
MUCH TUBERCULOSIS AMONG
ALLIES.
The Government experts said that
they were instructed to examine the
men carefully, because reports from
Europe show that the principal trouble
experienced by the men in the armies
of the Allies came from tuberculosis.
The examinations will consume several
weeks.
After the men are examined for
tubercular trouble, they will be put
through the mentality tests because
Uncle Sam only wants to send to
France the healthiest men. The
mental test experts ARRIVED at the
camp yesterday afternoon.
The mental test is used to ascertain
whether the men going to France can
stand shell shrek and to learn whether
there is possibility of the men losing
their mentality under the strains that
will arise while they are fighting the
Huns. All, of course, found wanting
in the mental tests will be sent home.
NEGRO TROOPS GET SWEATERS.
The officials of the Red Cross Sc
ciety sent 1000 sweaters to the men
at the camp yesterday morning, and
all of them were turned over to the
colored soldiers. They were given to
the colored men because they need
thsm more. None of the colored sol
diers have as yet been given overcoats.
Before the end of this week the Red
Cross officials will send 10000 more
sweaters to the camp, while l 900 will
be sent by the officials of the Soldiers
and Sailors Service society. The men
are anxious to receive their sweaters
because it is very chilly at the camp
after sunset and early in the morning.
Entertainments for the soldiers will
be held tonight both at the Young
Mems Christian Association and at the
Knights of Columbus headquarters.

METHOD TO INCREASE
FLOUR YIELD FOUND
New Process Of Bread Making Also
Worked Out At University of
Pittsburgh.

Two important discoveries which
will aid materially in cutting the high
cost of living have been announced by
the Mellon Institute of Research of
the University of Pittsburgh.
One is the perfection of a new
method of milling -four that increases
the value of wheat approximately s
per cent. The demand in this country
is for white -four, and IN milling about
20 per cent. of the wheat produces
this. Another 10 per cent. goes into
second-grade flour, and tie remaining
20 per cent. more white -four. A new
process of bread making worked cut at
the institute has been adopted by the
French and English Governments and
the Belgian Relief Commission.
Another di covery Of Importance is
method to preserve orange and
grapefruit juice. Citrus fruit grow
ers have bsen compelled to waste
large portions of their crops through
"culls" For years efforts to pre-
serve orange juice have been made,
but the product was unfit for consump-
ton. The institute has found q way
to sterilize the juice without boiling,
go that new industry will be estab-
lished that bids fair to rival the grape
juice industry aud find use for the
culls.
It was also announced at the insti-
tute that the first gas masks used by
the Allies were made here. When
the Germans threw the first gas waves
at the battle of Ypres chemists were
at work developing a protector from
smelter smoke Believing that chlor-
inc gas was being used. Director Bacon
made experiments with the mask
which proved successful. The mask
was turned over to ]. P. Morgan for
the use of the Allies and it is now be-
ing universally worn.

Al the RennnlIc Tomorrow.

''The Whip" the supreme Offering
of filmdom is coming to the Republic
theatre, tomorrow, Nov. 10th. to
charm, delight and thrill the patrons
ofsthis show house with its splendid
characterizatiuds, its truly wonderful
photography and its sensationslly
magnificent scenic effects. 1.-The
Whip" is easily the worlds biggest
motion picture. Cine scene alone, that
OF the great train wreck, was staged
ct an enormous expense merely for
this offering. And it is the biggest
and best train wreck yet seen 10 mv-
ton pictures. An automobile race and
wreck that ls so vivid as to hold the
spectators gasping is another big fea-
ture. But, of course, the biggest
feature Of all the tremendous scenes
and events in this gigantic production,
is the horse race. The scenes for this
splendid event were taken at Sara
togo, where the biggest racing events
OF the world are pulled off, and the
screen reproddces the tensity, the ex-
citement and the enjoyment of Sara
toga with striking fidelity. THE
Whip" has not one star, but six.
From start to finish it has been staged
on a remarkably elaborate scale. The
production has been made by that
genius of the screen, Maurice Tour
neur, and he has exceled ..sll his pre-
vious efforts in this tremendously sue
cessful production. BY all m cans, see

"Takinq Of umbraue."

Barrie's famous story in "When a
Mans Single about the taking of
Umbrage" is said to have been by no
means fictitious. The incident" was
actually the work of a practical joker
on the staff of well-known provin-
cial paper in England. 1t was in 1864.
at the time of the famous Seven Days
War waged by Austria ard Germany
on Denmark. This journalist, know
ing how late news was dealt with at
the office of a certain other paper con.
trived that q message should reach
that paper early one morning, announc-
ing, under the heading of "The War
in Denmark 1.-THE Enemy Have
Taken Umbrage." "Umbrage" was
given as place on the North sea, and
full particulars about it were sup
piled. The plot succeeded. The mo-
mentous news item was published, and
the taking of Umbrage" was the talk
of the town for several days.-The Ar
gonaut.

Humor the Best Tonic.

Keep in good humor. 1t is not great
calamities that embitter existence. 1t
is the pretty vexations. the small jeal-
ousies, the little disappointments, the
minor mlseries, that make the heart
heavy, and the temper sour. Don't
let them. Anger is pure waste of
vitality; it is always foolish, and al
ways unworthy, except in very rare
cases, when it is kindled by seeing
wrong done TO another. or dumb ami
mai abused; and even that seldom
mends the matter. Keep In good hui
NOR. Benjamin Franklin's ready smile
and indomitable good humor did as
much for his country in the old con-
gress as Adams fire, or Jefferson's
wisdom; he clothed wisdom with
smiles, and softened contentious
minds into acquiescence. Keep In
good humor.

KIM James, Razor.

1t is related that when King james
III fled from the battle of the Boyne
and the siege of Londonderry, In July,
1900, he carried with him among other
personal effects a razor, hand ground,
but with very slight concave. If any,
and made from hand forged English
steel at Belfast, ireland. The handle
is genuine ivory, with a heavy, solid
gold back. While the blade itself is
of little or no value as compared with
modern American made razors, the
handle has valuation of approx
mately $50. says the Christian Herald.
During the flight the king slept one
night in the house of Rev. John
Dickey, at Carnone, County Donegal.
In the morning. after he had shaved.
he placed his razor in drawer and
forgot to take it with him when he
left.
