The bedstead is owned by John Gra-
ham, 90 years old. an upholsterer, OF
East Capitol avenue.
THAT bed was a wedding gift OF
Mrs. Ninian w. Edwards to Mr.. and
Mrs. Lincoln when they were mar
ried. 1t was part of the furniture
of the Edwards home when Lincoln
and Mrs. lincoln were married in
ls42. The Lincolns occupied 1t on their
wedding night"
And this from Mrs. Josephine r.

"The bed in question never was In
existence during Lncoln's life. Lin
coin never saw 1t, and II It was in the
furniture of the Lincoln home It was
placed there after Lincoln and Mrs.
Lincoln were dead"
And on each side of the two camps

seems likely to split the "I-knew-

New York, N. Y.-It IL convervative-

DR.. A. ]. Newman, late Police Sur

X-RAY TO PLAY Big
PART IN DRAFT ARMY
Examinations of Prospective Sol.
diers Will Be Rigid.

(By the International News service.)
Albany, August 4.-The X-ray may
play a big part in picking the new
national army which has just been
called to the colors.
In the selection OF the flower of the
youth of the land to represent the
nation in the trenches across the
seas. It Is important that only those
in perfect health be chosen. To this
end the physical examinations will
be rigid. But there is one phase of
physical imperfection which even the
rigid Federal tests fail to bring. to
light. That Is incipient tubercular
infection.
The x-ray will do this and hence
1t Is likely to become one Of the i'm
portant adjuncts in selecting the
army. This fact became known to-
day through a report to Gov. Whit
man from Health Commissioner Her
man M. Biggs, chief of the division
of health and hospitals Of the New
York Resource Mobilization Bureau,
on the results of experiments with
the Roentgen rays in detecting tuber-
culosis among New York State troops.
The Importance of keeping men in
fected with tuberculosis from being
drafted or recruited cannot be over
estimated. A recent report by DR..
Biggs showed that the disease has
become a veritable scourge in France,
partly due to lack Of preventive work
before the war. but largely to the
rapid mobilization under which thou
sands of incipient and arrested cases
of tuberculosis were enrolled in the
army only to break down under the
unhealthful surroundings in the
trenches. Canada likewise has had
many men invaded home on this
account and is now paying between
H.3O and 1850 each. q year, for
their care.
