SOME DEMOCRATIC PLANS

Word from. Washington tells how the Democrats expect Co organize the next of Representatives though no party elected majority Of the members O. that body The Democrats now have 2l5 members and the Republicans 2l4. There are two contests and it is said that the Democrats expect to win both Of them This would give them 2l5 members or three short of a majority. There are ProgresSives two independents one Socialist and Prohibtionist in Congress- The Democrats expect tO get the votes of Representatives Kelley of Pennsylvania and Kent of California. independents. London. of New York So ciasr Randall. of California. Prohbitionist and Mar tin of Louisiana Progressive This with the two con- tests would give them 22O votes in the organization against 2l5 for the Republicans. Randall the Proh' bitonst voted with the Democrats for Speaker Clark in the organization of the present House. Kent the California independent, supported President Wilson and has voted practically all Of the administration measures during the last four years Kelley of Penn syIvaUa and Martin, Of louisiana are former Demo crats and support the progressive administration poll cies Martin left the Democratic party account Of free sugar legislation and. it is believed that revenue considerations will require little higher su- gar tariff it is thought he will return bodily the Democratic party. London. 0i New York the Socialist chose his seat on the Democratic side Ot the cham Der. and has been extremely friendly with admins, traton Democrats. It is said that he has agreed to aid the Democrats to organize the House h fact, Democrats have treated him one of themselves in many respects during the last tWO years.
 IL is rumored. though one has been able to give any other authority than rumor. that the plans for the organization also include the settlement of enough of the contests, which have been prepared for filing with the newly elected Speaker, when the time comes in favor of the Democrats to give them a clear majority in Cougress-provded of course the records would warrant such course.
 It is further said that the Republicans are more than favorable to this program. With Eight be- rr- rFf,u of +Na can party they are not anxious for control Of the House It would accentuate party differences and not be productive of compensating advantages. The Re publican leaders continue contend that they would prefer a strong minority to a weak and divided ma jority in Congress

DISCOVER CURE FOR PARESIS
 SAY DOCTORS
SaIvaTSan Is Injected into Cavity of Brain Is to Arrest Progress
 of the Disease.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Salvarsan administered directly into the inner cavity of the brain may be regarded as one of the most advanced and the most hopeful of methods of arresting the destructive process of paresis, officials of the New York Cots.Grad. uate Medical school and hospital an. nounces. Their conclusion, they said, was based on experiments made at the hospital.
 By the method used at the hospit. al it was said an opening is made through the skull and then with a blunt, hollow needle that is passed directly through the tissue of the brain to the main central cavity salvarsan is conveyed directly to the cerebro-spinal fluid in the main cav. ity of the brain From there it is carried by the circulation of the cere- bro.spinal fluid throughout the entire cerebro-spinal system. By thus reach. ing every cell of the brain with the salvarsan preparation, a uniform ef. feet is produced.
 No Serious After Effects
 No symptoms of any serious na. ture have been noted after any of the operations, of which several doz. en have been performed in the hos. pital, it was declared Each patient is operated on three times. The sec. ond operation is performed ten days after the first and the third a month after the second None of the pa. tients into whose brain cavities the salvarsan has been administered di- rectly has remained in the hospital more than four days after the opera. tion, it was said
 Out of IA patients who have under. gone the operation, foud have been able to resume their occupations, ac. cording to the hospital authorities.
 Salvarsan is administered in ser. um made from the blood of the pa tient.

THE HONEST FARMER.

New York mIddleman demonstrated, by opening barrels of apples just received from shippers that it often is the that good apples are put top and at the bottom and the middle of the barrel filled with culls. That is an old trick of New York farm CTS" the merchant is quoted as saying "A law for bids the practice but because of the labor and pense of following up each case of crookedness many offenders escape punishment"
 The merchant tells the story of another kind of packing
 "A peddler brought to my home in this

tungsten A Salt Lake mining man then at Mccarthy on his way to the Shushanna strike become interested and Barclay volunteered to make a trip and try to get samples. How. ever, floods prevented him from reaching there in time, as 1t was towards the close of the summer sea son.
 Barclay was interested with Dan Rice and others in the Mount Me Kinley Mining Company at Mckinley Lake, thirty-seven miles from Cordo. va, near the railroad. It is under. stood that this property has been in- cluded in the options recently taken by Col. B. F. Willard of Valdez.
 Pyospected Over Wide Area
 Barclay had prospected nearly the whole of the coast of Alaska. His friends called him a lovable charac. ter He could entertain them by the hour. having @ rare talent in telling of experiences.
 It was his creed never to kill any animal unless 1t was necessary for food. He sometimes spoke of a sis. ter or relative living somewhere in the East, but never touched upon intimate affairs save 10 those whom he knew closely. In fact, Jimmy the Bear" typified the real American pros. pector, said his friends today How ever, he died as he would have wish. ed-in his beloved hills of Alaska, they said. Money value meant moth. ing to him and when one time the mine in which he was interested was bonded to the Guggenheims for $$OO,- 900 he decided that in event of the deal going through he would contin. ue prospecting in the vicinity Of Mount St. Elias. He wanted to re. turn and make a better examination of the quartz he had discovered.

AN APPEAL TO THE TROPICAL
CNew York WorliD


 However serious the problem to food supply may be- the worst possible way to meet is by alarms and panics Scares of every kind play into the hands of eXtortioners and spectators The situation one that should be intelligeny and couragcously by individuals. In such emergency selfhelp and self restraint worth more than anything that govern ment can dO
 Food is less abundant and therefore higher in price than usual because we are feeding a world at war. In beigerent nations consumption and price are regulated by law. In this country much can be done in the direction by economies easily within the reach of most families. To take fright at impend- ing tamines and make unneeded purchases at eXor. bitant rates will not help matters.
 What millions of Americans should learn from existing conditions is common frugality which is neith- CT injurious nor dsgraceiul The price that is out rageous should be paid The article that Is beyond reach shiud be passed by The dealer who is always at the top of the market should find his customers looking elsewhere. Above an there should be ingen- uty in diet.
 Government do little in this matter except to punish those who break the law. The people can do much to take the imitation of food prices by de- voting serious attention to what is purchased where is purchased and the terms, including the cost of delivery upon which it is purchased There is no reason for a stampede to buy. There many req sons for an almost universal refusal to buy except prudently
