REFINED CHAULMOOGA
OIL MAY RELIEVE THE
WORLD OF TUBERCULOSIS

Washington, Oct. 26.-Refned
chaulmooga oil which experts of the
government public health service say
has arrested the progress of leprosy
is socn to be used by them in the
fight against tuberculosis. The ex-
periments with tubercular patients
will be conducted in Hawaii:
DR.. J. T. Mcdonald, superintend-
ing physician of the leprosy investi-
cation station at Kalihi in Honolulu,
with DR.. A. L. Dean, chemist and
president of the University of Ha-
waii, will start the fight against tu-
berculosis, at the same time contin-
uing their work against leprosy.
No concrete result of the use OF
the chaulmooga oil in tuberculosis
cases has yet been reported to the
headquarters of the public health
service here, but from their lnvestl-
cation with tubercular bacilli isolated
from a patient, Drs. Mcdonald and
Dean have hopes of successful treat
ment of patients themselves.
The bacilli of leprosy and tubercu-
losis, according to government scien-
lists, have been found to have similar
characteristics and the fatty acids OF
chaulmooga oil SEEMINGLY have proved
poisonous to the leprosy bacillus
This is the basis for the scientific hope
that these acids likewise will be dead
ly to the germ of "white plague"

WHITE HOUSE is
OPTIMISTIC OVER
ELECTION RESULTS

washington, OcI. Zo.-W hiIe
House officials were full of optimism
today over the outcome of next Tues
days election. Secretary Tumulty set
an example by declaring the election
of Governor Cox certainty and that
the Democrats will regain control of
the Senate by safe margin.
Heretofore Secretary Tumulty and
others Immediately connected with
administration have contented them
selves with vague statements that the
tide has turned'' toward the Demo-
cratic nominees. Today, however,
their statements took on more posi-
tive character and all were full of
confidence.
Pro-League Republicans.
Great expectations are being built
by Democratic campaign workers on
the statement which the President
will make tc the delegation Of pro
league. Republicans headed by Ham,
ilton Holt, who will visit the President
on Wednesday.
While the plans are entirely in the
hands of the President himself, it is
learned that his final and most impor-
tant statement of the campaign is
sues will be delivered to the visiting
delegation. In all probability none but
the members of Mr.. Hollis delegation
will be admitted.
Many Democratic leaders. have ex-
pressed disappointment over the
small part taken by the President in
the effort to elect Governor Cox. 1t
is stated, however, on the highest au-
thority that the President has done
all that can possibly be expected of
one in his extremely serious condition
of health. Persons close to the Pr
dent say regretfully that if the Presi-
dent had been able to do more to ad-
vance the Democratic cause in the
campaign he would gladly have done
so, but that his condition made more
active participation prohibitive.
Takes Daily Ride.
The President takes his daily ride
from the White House to the suburbs
the ride usually lasting little over
an hour. He is always accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson, and sometime by
other members of the family:
Persons who have seen the Presi-
dent at close hand on these daily
drives have noted considerable change
in his appearance during the past
year. His face is drawn and his hair
is almost white.
An invitation has been extended to
the President to address a gathering
of local Democrats at Masonic Tenn
pie tomorrow night.
1t is understood that either Secre-
tary Tumulty or some other member
of the administration family will ap-
pear in his stead.
At the headquarters of the Repub-
lican senatorial committee today re-
newed confidence was expressed that
a Republican majority of from eleven
to fourteen members will be won in
the Senate. Senator Poindexter,
chairman, has left for his home in
Washington to cast his vote. He will
not return until Congress reassem-
bles.

DO This-Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, Ill.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the U. s. who
have tested eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that 1t stops
Belching, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires a
little time, for eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out of the body and of course,
when it Is all removed, the sufferer gets
we'll, feels fine-full of life and pep.
# you have been taking an eatonic
now and then, be sure and take it regu-
larly for time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv

The view Of Paris from MOntmartre
Is known the world over. This view,
intrinsically as beautiful, and with
more of grandeur in it, is unknown,
save by a handful Of providers like
myself.
That the Greensboro bridge Is not,
like the Hill Of Martyrs, an object for
pilgrimages, is a profound common
tary on the nature Of beauty. For
beauty, after all, Is not In the object
but In the eye. We have eyes but
we see not. We hurry across the
Greensboro bridge In street cars or
elevated trains, on business bent.
There Is no time for seeing, and If
there were, would there be any de-

After all, there is no view from

seeking adventure, schoolgirls dream
ing dreams, and idlers filed with
vague poesies.

FIuht the White Whals.

A campaign against the beluga, or
white whale, was recently started
from Douarnenez to Concarneau, in
Brittany, by the French Oceanographic
society, in which nets and poison
tubes were used. The beluga, pest Of
the fisherman, is generally cream
white in color. feeds mainly on marine
fish and commits ravages among the
shoals. The average length Of the
adult male is about eighteen or twenty
feet. To hunt down the white whale
a net LOO yards long was set up at
Douarnenez, while another was placed
in suitable position by the fishermen
at Concarneau. Furthermore, the skip
pers Of the sardine boats used 1000
Yves DeTage poison tubes against the
belugaS.
