The Settlement


The abdication ends the anomalous sit
uation which has long existed in Greece
because of the refusal of Constantine and
his followers to acquiesce in full in the
demands of the Entente Allies for the
freedom of movement of their forces in
and through Greece and for their safety
from attack.
That the Entente was prepared to move
with expedition in bringing a change In
the situation in Greece is indicated by
the fact that simultaneously with the
arrival in that country of the French SEN
ator Jonnart, who bore plenary powers
to act for the Entente, came the occu-
patton by the Italians in northwestern
Greece. near the Albanian frontier, of the
strategic town of Janiana and by other
Entente forces of Elassona in northeast
ern Greece, situated at the foot of Mount
Olympus and near the Gulf of Saloniki.

Boston, June 12.-New England has
from the savings of its
working people and the funds of its
business organizations a little more
than one half of the $500 100000 which
it was estimated this section should
subscribe to the Liberty Loan. Up to

tually received by the federal reserve
bank were $4,000, 900, representing APP
plications by 171,456 individuals.
Laborers' Response
The extent to which the laboring men
Of New England are represented in the
subscriptions received to date was
characterized as remarkable by Cover

Subscriptions of corporations and men
of large means, he said, had been dis

An indication Of the response Of the

but they go home satisfied that they

But only fragment Of the motor
show crowd are millionaires. A throng
Of chauffeurs, mechanics fascinated by
machinery, and would-be speeders, in
all walks of life make a democratic
congregation. The fascination of the
automobile is amazing. It exerts its
sway over all classes.
Many men enter the show with no
idea in their heads that they would
buy one. They are dazzled by glitter
of shiny paint and polished nickel.
Prowling statesmen fasten on their

Collector Explains
Puzzle Over Stamps

Regarding revenue stamps held by
dealers when the law expired in Sep
TENDER, and which the government
announced would be redeemed, Col
lector James J. Walsh has sent a cir
cular letter Of explanation. There are
"a number of the stamps held in this
district. AS so much time has elapsed
since the act expired, many Of those
who are holding stamps have written
Collector Walsh about them. In his
letter, ne says:
Il am advised by the commissioner
Of internal revenue, who decides all
such claims, that every effort is being
put forth by his force to get this work
in hand. Though his force is made
quate to handle the deluge of such
claims he states that they are being
passed as rapidly as possible and it is
hoped that in a reasonable time this
work will be current.
Letters written by impatient tax
payers serve only to retard the\ work,
for only one answer can be given to
all-that the work is being pushed as
rapidly as possible and that no def
mite date can be set in any individual
case as to when refund will be made.
The claimant should be satisfied with
the information that the redemption
will be made as soon as possible.
Claims will be considered in the
order Of their receipt and no special
favor will be shown to any taxpayer
by the compissioner, no matter who
makes an appeal for special consider
alton in his behalf. The appropriation
for this purpose is ample and the
stamps will be duly redeemed and
every owner of stamps VINO has prop
erly presented his claim will be paid
the amount due him.

Germany Comedies
Right of Way to
Fertilizer Products

In Germany, fertilizers are given
preference over all other kinds Of
freight with the exception Of food
products and war munitions for the
soldiers at the front. 1t is because OF
Germany's attitude toward the pro-
duction of large yields and to even
greater attention to the use Of fer
tilizers than ever, since the beginning
of the war, that the Teutons have
bene able to withstand the rigorous
blockade and demonstrate that their
country has been able to produce
enough food products to make them
AS much fertilizer Is
used in Germany as in the entire
United States, with over seven times
as much land Under cultivation.
Census reports issued by the De-
partment Of Commerce here show that
the United States in 1914 used 49.S per
cent, more fertilizers than in 1909. OF
this amount, more than half was COM
plete fertilizers. The increase in the
use Of fertilizers to the extent of al
most so per cent. in five years indi-
Gates how American farmers are set
ting about to increase their yields and
profit from the high prices being paid
for farm products.

Facts Concerning Epilepsy. (By
DR.. VIM. Held. 9Th insta llment.) In
ternal secretion as factor in charging
the system with intoxicating poison
is closely connected with epilepsy.
Aside, from the observation that epil-
optics readily succumb to attacks un-
der the influence of emotions and
shock, other facts have esta blished
the very intimate relation between
secretion and emotion. Witness a
persons inability to swallow or speak
under. the influence Of excitement, as
in stage fright. Based upon this
phenomenon is the Chinese rice or
deal. It was customary to = compel
the accused coming before judge
to eat bowl OF dry rice. The sus-
poets inability to do SO was consider
ed evidence Of his guilt. Rice re-
quires good deal of saliva in the
act of swallowing but salvation was
arrested under the influence of the
accused's fear and emotion.
It is well known that as the result
OF fright, bowel and bladder con-
tents may be suddenly voided and
that the thought Of food may stimu-

shock (emotion upon hearing tragic

the normal secretions to the end Of
causing disastrous results, bnt there
are many indications which compel
the conclusion that shock under GER
tain conditions, may also rearrange

dular activity. The subject Is not
merely, interesting but too important
in connection with epilepsy as to
justify its dismissal at this point.
At a meeting Of physicians one
doctor asked me to reconcile the fol-
lowing occurrence with my theories
and contentious regarding epilepsy.
An epileptic afflicted several years
and in whose case the ordinary RENE
dies failed to relieve, fell from the
roof of a building upon which he
had been working and broke both
legs. Dating from the accident the
patient remained free from epileptic
attacks for the years following. This
Incident strikingly' substantiates the

contehtions as to cause and cure OF
epilepsy, championeds by Ime for
years. The shock inflicted (mental
and physically SO altered glandular
functions that they ceased in their
inharmonious activity and started to
pour into the system the required
secretions. These substances neu-
tralized epiliptic poisons present and
no longer did abnormal glandular SCI
erection replenish the store Of pois-
ons in the blood. Recovery from
epilepsy, in this particular case, was
brought about by stimulation of the
glandular system Ithrough the sym
pathetic nervous system) by virtue OF
the sustained 4 shock. Spontaneous
cures of epilepsy are not unknown
Epileptics who have been subjected
to some infectious disease, as scarle,
or typhoid, sometimes recovered
from the fever and the epileptic con-
dition simultaneously. This is due
to antitoxins automatically formed In
the system (under rearranged CLAN
dular fuhctfon) by the combination
Of the organism of the particular in
lection and epileptic poisons.

Dear Doctor: I have write to you

called it a bad cold on my lungs and
gave me SO much medicine. quinine,
ETC.. it seemed to drive the cold to my
head and there it settled all winter
long. I was in bed most Of the time
but could not sleep. The top of my
head was so cold that I had to put a
flannel blanket on it to sleep at all
and have worn heavy wooden cloth
ever since. My head always feels
cold, that is it is not sore but sensi-
tive to cold. I am so nervous at times
that feel I will go insane. It seems
as if I trernble but I don't. I believe
a lot Of it is caused by indigestion
and gas in the stomach and some
trouble where the nerve centers meet.
When my head feels free Of t. - tight
tension or kind Of swollen feeling I
feel better all over Do. tell me what
can do for it. I have used an oint-
ment made of red pepper, lard and
