ABSOLUTE CURE FOR

New York Doctor Says Autotherapeutic
Treatment Also Will Cure Pneumonia,
Catarrh and Stop Any Cough Ex-

New York, June lS.-Inhuenza and
pneumonia are no more to be feared
than boil on the back of your neck, ac-
cording to DIR. Charles H. Duncan, one
of the founders of the Volunteer hos
pital, who, in an address yesterday be-
fore the convention of the Allied Med
ical Associations of America, described
his method of combating Spanish infu-
enza by means of "immunizing pa
tient to his own poison" Upon 246 pa.
tients Ill with pneumonia and influenza
last winter, DIR. Duncan said, he had
used the treatment without single ia
tally or any complications.
Briefly" the physician said, take
one drachm of mucus from the infected
area and pasteurize it in one ounce of
filtered water, where it remains several
hours. One cubic centimetre Of this
toxine, injected simultaneously. will eff
feet a spontaneous cure of Spanish in
fuenza, pneumonia, catarrh, or any sim
liar localized infection. 1t will stop any
cough, except tuberculosis, inside Of "a

DIR. Duncan said he had been using the

WILL REPLY TO KNOX.
Senator McCumber Gives Notice of His
Intention,

Washington, d. G., june 49, More de.
bate on the league of nations was in
store in the Senate to-day.
Although appropriations constituted
the business technically under consider
alton, Senator McCumber Of North Da.
kota, Republican member of the for
eign relations committee, had given no
tice of his intention to speak in support
of the league and it was thought likely
the address would develop general dis
cussion.
Senator McCumber was prepared to re.
ply to arguments presented yesterday by
Senator Knox, Republican, of Pennsyl-
yania, who pleaded against accepting the
league until the country had more OPP
portmity to study it, The debate thus
developing is expected to occupy the SEN
ate part of virtually every day until
final action probably many weeks hence,
on ratification of the treaty.
Senator Knox probably will make no
effort to bring up until Friday his reso-
luton designed to serve notice that the
Senate opposes acceptance of the league
covenant as now dovetailed with the
peace terms, Either Friday or Saturday
supporters of the resolution expect to
try for test vote to show the exact
strength of the league opposition.

Following the Disabling Of

Jeanne D'Arc
NO SERIOUS TROUBLE
WAS INDICATED
Pres Elect Pessoa of Brazil
Taken on u. S. Battle
ship Arkansas

Washington, d. c., June lS.--A wire
less message to the navy department
early to-day announced that the French
cruiser Jeanne O'Arc had been disabled
at sea and that the transport Imperator
had taken off DIR. Pessoa, president of
Brazil, and his party, who were en- route
to the United States from Lisbon. The
message was sent by Admiral Benson,
who is returning home from France on
the battleship Arkansas, with which ship
the Imperaior communicated.
Admiral Renson gave no details other
than that the Jeanne Dare engines be-
came disabled yesterday about o'clock,
Greenwich time, and that three hours
later the lmperator came up and took
off the Brszlians. The position OF the
vessel at the time of the transfer was
not given. The Imperator, which is
bringing troops home from France, is
expected to reach New York tomorrow
morning. So far az was known here
there were no passengers on the Jeanne
Dare other than the Brazilian president.
elect and his party.
The fact that the Imperator did not
stand by the disabled cruiser and that no
mention was made of assistance being
required is taken here to Indicate the
French warslfip is in no serious danger.
II is believed she will make her own re.
pairs and that the transfer of the pas
sengers to the American transport was
simply to avoid delay.

CIRCUS GIRLS AVOID parties,
Clear Eyes and Steady Nerves Are Vital
to All Performers.

You never hear of any after the
show parties with the young women Of
the circus, do you? You have never read
of any gay parties in which the eques-
triennes, the girl performers or the girls
of the Sells-Floto circus ballet figured
in the traditional roles of the chorus
girl at like affairs, did you? There's a
reason. In fact, there are several rea-
sons. When the Sells.Floto circus comes
to Montpelier Saturday, June rs, you'll
see very little of the circus girls outside
of the parade and the performance. In
the morning before the parade you will
find most of them at work knitting or
doing fancy work. Then, the nature of
their employment prevents anything like
late hours after the show They have
only an hour or two before the trains
roll out of town, and generally they
hurry to the cars to seek the "downy.'
Clear eyes and steady nerves are vital
to all performers. As to the girls Of
the ballet, they work so hard during the
day that the-, too, are ready for sleep
as soon as they can get into street
clothes and hurry from the Tot" to the
runs" after the night show.-Adv.

KNOX DEBATES
HIS RESOLUTION
Separate League from the
Treaty and Consider 1t
Alone, He Urges
MONROE DOCTRINE
OBLITERATED BY 1T
Senate Galleries Overflow
ing During His Address,
and Many Outside Doors

Washington, June Is. Senator Knox
opened debate yesterday in the Senate
on his resolution proposing separation OF
the covenant of the league of nations
from the treaty with Germany. In the
midst Of discussion Of the agricultural
appropriation bill the senator delivered a
prepared address which promised to pre-
cipitate bitter fight.
Senator Knox told the Senate his reso-
luton did not declare either for or
against league, that it proposed merely
and solely that the Senate advise and
consent to the treaty (which shall bring
us peace" and reserve for future con-
sideration other portions of the docu-
ment proposing the creation of the
league.
The former secretary of state replied
to charges that the Republicans are max
ing a partisan issue of the league and
argued that more time should be allowed
the American people to consider it,
Senator Knox declared the Monroe doc
trine provision inserted in the revised
covenant of the league will mean the
termination of that doctrine.
st is hard to speak calmly of such a
perversion as this" said Senator Knox.
at is hard to conceive of any man ira
ditioned in Americanism lending his
sanction to such monstrosity. Never
before has the Monroe doctrine been q
mere measure of spineless pacifism. It
has until now been strong means of
self-protection and self-preservation
1T was aimed to keep monarchy from
this hemisphere; kings, princes and en-
perors were to have no place on this side
of the world. But under the new doc
trine, if Mexico should peaceably agree
to allow to Japan strip of her western
territory, if Guatemala should make an
alliance with Great Britain, or Brazil
with Germany, or Argentina with Italy,
or if they should grant to them regions
or strips of territory or concessions or
zones of influence, how could we saw
that a regional understanding for Sc
curing the maintenance of peace had
been violated? Would not the answer
be, no hostile activity has occurred, none
is contemplated, and none will occur un-
less you yourself, America, undertake or
threaten, and if we did threaten them,
no matter how great the menace to our
own existence they might ultimately
prove, We should merely bring us within
the restraining hand of the whole league
itself.
"The Monroe doctrine, in its covenant
form, is sanction and an invitation to
colonization by monarchies Zone of the
precise things to avoid which the Mon
roe doctrine was declared) for in the
great emancipated brotherhood which
the league processes to set up, what
brother can accuse. his fellow of so ig-
noble thing as design upon the pow
err and integrity of his own dominion-a
thing made holy by the league itself"

ing Mr.. Knox address, large lines stand
ing outside the doors.

The Anti British Phobia.

However vulnerable to criticism the
league of nations may be, the attack
upon it as promoter of British i'm
perial interests is the silliest imaginable
The idea of league did not originate
in Great Britain and the British people
as a whole never seemed to show marked
interest in it, Lord Robert Cecil was
well within the truth in saying at a
public meeting last week that Britain,
perhaps, has less need of the league
than any other nation. Her European
position is relatively stronger than ever
ii has been in her history Her fleet is
unbeaten and more powerful than before
the war. Her army is larger and better
trained than ever, and even on the eco
monte side she is in better case than
those who before the war were described
as her rivals" 1t is an anti-British
phobia that makes some senators see in
the league British intrigue to dominate
the world. Springfield Republican.

NEXT THRIFT SUNDAY.
Churches Will Cooperate in Furthering
Sale of Thrift Stamps.

Next Sunday will be thrift Sunday.
Throughout New England and the rest
of the country churches of every denomi-
nation will cooperate with the savings
division of the treasury department in
further perpetuating the lessons of
sane saving, wise spending and safe IN
vestment. Thrift" will be the text of
the pastors. June % is set aside to aid in
the national thrift campaign.
A message from Secretary Glass Of the
treasury department, setting forth the
reasons why the government is fostering
the spirit Of thrift as permanent Amer
lean characteristic, will be received by
each congregation and read from the pull
pit.
In letter to the pastors Of all demon
nations, Harold Braddock, national di-
rector of the savings division, states the
need of assistance in this great move
ment for peace-time patriotism. II reads
in part
I'VE are hoping that you will impress
upon the members of the organizations
connected with your church the desir-
ability of careful saving for some worthy
object 1t would seem that, in the or
CARNATIONS which are DESTROYS for saw
ing for this purpose, it would be to their
interest to be enrolled as government
savings societies The savings and thrift
stamp securities offered By the govern
ment are so safe and so accessible to
the investor of such small amounts that
we feel that they should be well adapted
to the needs of any church organization
We also feel that if the members of
these organizations begin investing their
savings in government securities it will
aid the members to feel that they have
a more direct stake and interest in their
government. 1t will make them more ac-
tive and intelligent citizens"
