How old Is Erskine.

"The story in The Age-Herald this morning by Dolly Dalrymple about
 Erskine Ramsay and the dollar which
 his father put in the savings bank for him when he was born interested me greatly" said J. Frank Rushton. T have often marveled at the great amount of money which MT. Ramsay this story probably offered the explan- alton of the feat. According to Dolly | Dalrymple, $I deposited in a savings
 bank at the time MT. Ramsay was Loln
 has grown with compound interest to
 be more than s6,00O. As we all know, the usual savings bank interest is 4 per, cent, but let us give MT. Ramsay the benefit of the doubt and credit for his usual business acumen and say that
 he drew per cent compound interest. Now, I would like for some math sma- tician to figure out just how old MT. Ramsay really is. In other words, how many years does it take $1 put cut at I compound interest at per cent to amount to $6,oOO? The answer to that question will give us the exact age of | MT. Ramsay. I knew he was getting
 along in yaers, but I did not dream that he was that old. He has probably

 A crystal gazer, robed and be- spangled according to the best ac- cepted traditions of Cagliostro, with his magic globe, was introduced and told to proceed with his impish tricks Some preliminary clouds in the crystal, attributed to the apprehended pres ence of Senators Borah and .Hiram Johnson, portents of trouble, vanished and the crystal began to reveal its secrets.

And next, President Harding sends to the Senate the names of two men for the committee on debris-Alton B. Parker and James M. Cox" The globe reg istered much excitement, not to say consternation; 'the President appoints regular railroad man on the inter- state commerce commission" "Au railroads are to put on extra cars after March {, as heavy exodus from Washington. especially to the south, Is then expected"

The White House statistician reports that despite all contradictory rumors Senator Borah did mention Senator Harding's name twice in the campaign. So the gazer continued, playing upon men and affairs to the delight of the company until finally he was asked:

Changing the order a little from roasting" public men on the gridiron, the entertainment took the form of ~guying" some of the members of the club. Be It remem bered that nearly every active club member present had been in the field in the last campaign writing dispatches for his paper on the features of the campaign and the ex- pected or prophesied result. Occasion was afforded for this shift of pro cedure by the initiation of three new members-Stanley M. Reynolds of the Baltimore Sun, Roy A. Roberts of the Kansas City Star and Clinton W. Gil- bert of the Philadelphia Evening Ledger.
 They were marshaled in the center of the hall and put through a series of interroga by members of the club. each of whom could have as easily been subject to the same queries.
 Did you make a forecast of the election results?" was one of the ques- tions.
 We experts always do that~

NED BRACE TALKS OF THE GRIDIRON DINNER
 AND ITS JOKES ABOUT NATIONAL FIGURES

N0 7 ASHINGToN, December H.
 M (speciaL)-with J. w. Mo
 Queen, George W. connors, w.. IF. c. Harding of Birmingham and his big brother, Thomas Barrett of Augusta, Ga, as his guests, the writer thoroughly enjoyed the Gridiron dinner this evening.
 It has been some 30 years since the writer was rolled into the dining room of the Gridiron club in a baby carriage and initiated as the baby member. He was then indeed a baby Washington cor respondent. But once a Gridiron man all ways one, and only three of the 63 din- ners has he missed.
 The original rules of the club yet pre- vail that the utterances of guests at the dinner are confidential and can never be repeated outside the dining hall, but what the club itself does is susceptible of being told, and N o. Messenger, the newly-elected president of the club, has given me copy of the story he has written for the Washington Sunday Star. It is we'll worth the reading of those with keen eye upon the doings in the nation. Here it is:
 < # 4
 President-elect Harding having failed, during his recent visit to Wash ,ington, to give very much insight into possible developments in administra- ton and politics, the Gridiron club, at it's annual winter dinner at the New Willard tonight, was fain to re- sort to necromancy, soothsaying, and the dark art to fathom the mysteries of the future as well as enlighten some of the inscrutabilities> of the present. And this not only for the benefit of the members of the club, but for the delectation of company of distinguished guests gathered around the board.
 When President Jermane of the Gridiron club bade the diners welcome he said that ordinarily such revela- tions would be held in confidence, but that in this case the ban of secrecy would be lifted and only the remarks of the various speakers of the evening

acquired early in his career by writing editorials. To advise the next Presi- dent of the United States is for the colonel the apex of his desires. For tunate man! MT. Harding will take advice, even with an appearance of humility. President Wilson is states man of a different caliber.

DEATH LURKS IN SPUTUM---By Frank Willis Barnett

You are fed up on tuberculosis you say! I'll admit that it is bit loathsome to hear so much about sputum; but there is a reason,' as life and death hang upon it's proper care.
 If you had just been looking at a col ored picture in which the small particle microscope with the tuberculosis germs 1,20O times enlarged. you might sense the danger which turks in the filthy hapl, of splitting in public places.
 It's the duty of the consumptive pa avoid spreading to others the disease which grips him. The germ of tuberculo- sis. called bacillus tuberculosis and dis covered by Professor Koch in 1882, is the only direct cause of all tubercular dis eases. for. without the presence of this bacillus. the development of tuberculosis is impossible.
 pr. Koch called this germ bacillus, 2 which is the Latin word for rod, be- cause, when under a powerful micro scope. when subjected to a certain red coloring agent, these minute forms ap- pear like little rods. When these little germs enter into any living organism they are apt to multiply and by irrita- tion cause the growth of small elevations about the size of the head of pin. called tubercles. hence the name tuber- culosis.
 The bacilli may be found in countless numbers in the lung or any other organ affected with tuberculosis, and in the case of pulmonary consumption quanti- ties of them are elected when the pa- tient expectorates. The bacillus. or germ of tuberculosis. is little parasite, d fungus or mushroom. belonging to the lowest scale of vegetable life. It not only gradually destroys the lung sub stance through ulcerative processes, but gives at the same time certain poisonous substances called toxins. which arc often cause of serious symptoms

', X Colonel Harvey in Role & an Expert Adviser

~ OL. GEORGE HARVEY is get S ting to be familiar figure in and about Marion. All during the Chicago convention which nominated Harding the redoubtable colonel wore an air of mystery and importance. As a result he was given credit in the public prints for having helped to crown the Ohio editor.
 As soon as it was definitely proved that the public was not to be con- suited in naming a standard bearer and the happy MT. Harding began to receive the congratulations of his fel- low townsmen, Colonel Harvey was one of the first advisers to appear in Marion.
 Among the enemies President Will son has made in public life, Colonel Harvey has proved adept in using the stiletto. Formerly one of the Presi- dents most ardent supporters and claiming with some degree of plausi- bility that he made" Mir. Wilson. Colonel Harvey is now hand in glove with the man who is utterly opposed to "Wilsonism," so-called, and buried the Presidents policies fathoms deep in the last election.
 MT. Harding wants advice, he says. Colonel Harvey gallantly throws him. self into the breach. Giving advice is t'e joy of his life. It was habit

III Will Shown Toward
 the United States Abroad

N ONGRESS is said to be disturbed W at the unfriendly tactics em- ployed against the United States by our late associates in the war. A member of the Senate foreign rela- tions committee sums up the plays" thus far made in the international game of freeze out" as follows:
 Monopoly of the former German
 cables to the exclusion of the
 United States
 Barring of Americans from nat
 ural resources, coal oil and min
 erals, in other parts of the world.
 Discrimination against American
 business men in some foreign
 countries.
 Attempted breaking up of Ameri-
 ean efforts to run successful
 merchant marine fleet.
 These evidences of unfriendliness are but the commercial phases of resentment against America which large part of Europe now feels. If this country had promptly joined the League of Nations, instead of hesi- tating and quibbling, and had cooper ated with Europe in solving the prob- lems resulting from the war, it is req sonable to suppose that the distrust and jealousy with which America is now regarded would not have de- veloped.
 No nation on earth was more .popu- lar, more universally esteemed, than America at the conclusion of the war. That we forfeited a, great deal of prestige by failing to join the League of Nations cannot be denied. Seeing the rich and powerful America stand ing aloof, it is not surprising that at- tempts are being made to discriminate against her in business, while at the same time England talks of a navy as strong as the American and Jap anese navies combined and Japan fears to reduce her navy until America sets the example.
 We threw away our opportunity to assume world leadership. It will be no easy task to regain what we have lost.

man, for l am getting this information
 from recognized expert, but think l am retailing it out so that the man in the street can understand the dangers | am striving to point out and ward against. The manner in which the in- lection from man to man occurs most readily is by the inhalation of bacilll- laden dust. If, for example. patient expectorates on the floor or wall where the sputum has chance to dry and be- come pulverized. it is liable to float with the dust in the air, and any predisposed individual breathing this air is in dan ger of contracting the disease. One consumptive can cough up in single day several billions of these germs.
 hememoer this The breath of the con- sumptlve does not contain the germs and will not produce tuberculosis; but it can be caught from the little drops of saliva coushed up, even when the patient does not spit It is not dangerous to live with a consumptive if the matter eousheu up Dy nm De promptly de- stroyed. 4 cup should be provided and used. This cup should contain water. or better, 1car5olic acid in per cent watery solution tsx teaspoonfuls in q pint of water). This solution kills the germ The cup should be emptied twice a day and carefully washed with boiling water.
 T realize that in stringing out this story in regard to the right method or iisposing of sputum l may be ot- Tending some delicate persons; but do 1t in the hope that I may benefit either come well or help some sick people. When consumptives are away from home, the matter coughed up should be received in pocket flask made for this purpose. If cloths must be used, they should be immediately burned on returl- ing home. If handkerchiefs be used (worthless cloths. which can be burnet at once. are hetter). they should be boiled at least half an hour in water by them selves befoge being washed.
 These dsfaslz may may not be very appetiz- iass

PING JOY.

Little Ping Joy was slant-eyed boy Who lived in a land afar; And he used to dream in lantern s
 gleam
 And the light of the evening star Of time when he would a. rich man be And dress in cloth of gold, And trinkets buy for little San Lii, Quite all her arms could hold. With the night and the dawn the days
 sped on
 And Ping Joy older grew; But did not forget, although as yet The yen he had were few. There came day when he steamed away Across the wide blue sea With an immigrant band to distant That was known as the Land of the
 Free" In shabby street where the traffic beat Ping Joy worked night and day. And he sang as he toiled over linen
 soiled,
 In his oriental way. In the suds and the steam he held to
 his dream
 And put each penny by For his journey home across the foam | VIII anu Weu SdI I<l With the night and the dawn the days
 sped on
 And Ping Joy prospered, too; He practiced thrift as a sort of gift, As orientals do His wealth grown great, in proud estate He returned to the Chinese town Where the rich Ping Joy, once poor lit
 tie boy,
 Was a man of wide renown. But his head was high and he spurned
 San Lii s m And turned away his face; As excuse for that, she was wondrous fat
 And had lost her whilom grace. Oh, it's sad to think, but that wealthy
 ''chink,"
 We are very much afraid, Was spoiled by his gold, if the truth be
 told For he wed younger maid

ing and yet they should be carefully dj- gested, for if the matter coughed up pe rendered harmless, a consumptive may rrequently not only do his usual work without giving the disease to others but may also improve his own condition an nd increase his chance of getting well R,,t It IS erroneous to think that the patient who coughs but does not expectorate ia therefore harmless. He is only harmless when he takes care always to hold his hand or handkerchief before his mouth so as to prevent the expulsion of small particles of saliva during coughing. These droplets have dynamite In them.
 The anti-spitting crusade has never been taken seriously enough in spite or the placards in public buildings and con. yeyances and the. penalties imposed for idisobedience- I>have heard people in :, complaining way say, If you spit on the sidewalk, you'll get arrested and fined. but man can commit crime and on scot free. It's criminal negligence to ex- pectorate in public place when tho party so doing is aware of the conse- auences of his act.
 There is nothing true- than that spit ting spreads disease. The flu. epidemic vas d terribly expensive method Of teaching the public the danger of sneez- ing' coughing or expectorating in public places. Don't spit on the sidewalks, piaygrounds or on the floors or hali- ways of public buildings or conveyances any more than you would in your own rome It spreads disease. and is dan gerous. indecent and unsawru,. fa
