International Delegates to Congress
Against Alcoholism Declare Readi-
ness to Take Up Battle in
Their HomeIands.

Washington.-Armed with informa
ton on the victory of prohibition in
the United States, foreign delegates
to the International Congress against
alcoholism are ready to return home
and conduct among their own peoples
drives against intoxicating liquors.
Business and scientific sessions of
the congress were concluded Saturday.
Richmond Pearson. Hobson placed
before the congress at d recent SEES
sion resolutions intended to aid the
advocates of world prohibition. The
congress being unauthorized to act, re-
ferred the resolutions to the interna-
tlonal committee which governs its
session.,
Mr.. Hobson in his resolutions urged
the application of the 'serum of edu-
cation" to the anti-prohibitionists of
the countries where the saloon
stih holds sway. He declared that the
campaign of education employed to
bring about prohibition in the United
States was the best method for drys
In other countries to use.
Introduction of the resolutions fol-
lowed their adoption by the executive
committee of the world prohibition
federation which met here in connec
ton with the congress. Committees
from the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union and the World League
Against Alcoholism, Mr.. Hobson said,
also were giving the proposals con-
sideration.
The World Federation also adopted
resolutions demanding that congress
deny citizenship rights and privileges
to brewers and others whose business
has been outlawed in this country"
If they attempt to invade foreign ter
ritory to continue their business The
resolutions bitterly denounced the re-
ported plans of several large brewing
and distilling interests to engage in
the brewing or distilling of intoxi-
cants elsewhere.

New York.-Jacob H. Schiff, Ameri-

at his home in this city, September %.
Jacob Henry Schiff was in his sew
enty-third year at the time of his
death. He was born at Frankfort-on-

to the United States in 1865, settling

Mr.. Schiff was one of the leading

accomplished so quietly that only he
and the beneficiaries had knowledge

effects of this contamination, which slowly
and progressively undermines the nervous
system. Then follow impaired refexes,
such as failure to respond to light or q
slight, sharp blow-and after that comes
nervous breakdown Some observers be-
lieve that the poisons pass from the blood
into the spinal canal and then into the
brain.
Nervous breakdown is followed by abb
sence of cooperation of the mental facul-
tieS and the condition eliminates In dis
tinct insanity, which is likely to take the
form of melancholia or maniacal outbursts.
The question may be asked why is 1t
that many men and women with badly neg
lected teeth do not develop insanity? The
answer is that these persons have suffi-
cient powers Of resistance to throw off the
intoxication Complete mental break
down usually occurs when some great sor-
row or wasting Illness lowers the vitality
and permits the complete invasion Of the
system by the germs. The same reason
ing applies with regard to the other cen
tres OF infection--the tonsils, intestines,
etc.
Here we have an explanation OF why
some people become insane after a great
disappointment in love, Through brooding
constantly on one subject, going without
sleep. exercise and proper food, they lose
vitality and suddenly the germs which
have long been held in check break loose
ana invade the whole system.
The streptococcus viridans microoe'
which the doctors found in Mrs. Blake's
case. has hitherto been known as the
cause of endocarditis, an ulcerous condi-
tion OF the heart,
This microbe is Of the long chain type:
II produces soft granuloma, kind OF
unnor ON the roots Of the teeth. The
tumors encircle the roots, which are COW
cred with a connective tissue ,thst gives
rood nourishment to the bacteria. In
some cases the roots OF the teeth were
absorbed and in others necrotic,
Tho streptococous viridans Is hemo

cases Of wisdom teeth that do not come

INADEQUATE JUSTICE FOR oFFICERs.

AT last there is an Indication that belated but in
adequated justice may be done to some of the officers
OF the army and navy of the United States in the mat
ter OF an increase in pay. Conferees of the house and
senate have agreed on a report. If this report is adopt
ed and the bill meets the approval OF the president.
some OF the officers in both branches of the services
will receive increases Of from 10 TO Is per cent.
This increase is much less than the officers ex-
pected, and the agreement is unsatisfactory because
it does not include all grades. Oncers up to the grade
Of captain in the navy and up to the grade of captain
in the army and marine corps are affected. All en-
listed men getting more than 500 a month will get a
20 per cent increase.
When it is borne in mind that the present scale
or pay for the army and navy was established several
decades ago, and that no advance has been made in
that time to meet the increased cost of living. it is
natural to wonder why the officers above the grades
named should be omitted from the benefits of the bill.
It is unjust to stop at colonies in the army and captains
in the navy, for the duties devolving upon higher
ranks are exacting, requiring in many cases the ex-
penditure of funds far beyond the present scale of
pay, in order TO maintain the dignity of the rank.
Both branches of the service have suffered the
loss of many officers in recent months, because it was
found impossible TO live properly and maintain fam
lies in the way gentlemen and officers should main
tain their families. Hundreds have found employ
ment in other professions at higher pay. This has
been especially the case in the grades below naval
captains and army colonies, for the reason that thesA
officers were younger and more in demand by corpor-
atoms and private business partnerships. The higher
officers. who have given the best years of their lives
10 the government, do not find it so easy to assume
duty in civil life. And they are left out of the in
creased pay bill!
1t looks as though the congressman who are Ak
Ing the pay are literally taking advantage of what
might be called a helpless condition. and actually pen
alizing these officers for their long and faithful SER
vice. If the admirals and generals OF the United States
call the republic ungrateful. who can blame them?
