MILK AND CREAM

Milk and cream are now more
generally pasteurized in the
United States under municipal
ordinances, and the practice has
everywhere resulted in reduced
infantile mortality and has i'm
proved general health condi-
tions.
We have practically no laws
for the safeguarding of the in
habitants in the District of CO.
lumbia against the sale of in
sanitary milk.
When our blood is vitiated,
either by continued breathing
of impure air or by the partak-
ing of impure food. disease
germs grow and multiply with
in us. PasteuriZation Of milk
and cream eliminates the most
important cause outside of bad
air which may vitiate our blood.
The aim of hygiene is to main
tain the purity of our blood and
to uphold and increase our
natural resistance against the
growth of disease germs that
may enter our bodies through
impure food n impure air.
The health officer of the Dis
trict of Columbia will give you
the sanitary rating of your
local milk supply at any time
you should apply for it.

May Retire Before Seventy.
Under his plan. the Utah senator
said, the government would be able
to say to its employees, Il want your
services until you are seventy years
old. But If you are disabled before
that age, either through disease or
injury, you can be retired earlier"
"I know that hundreds of the en-
ployes will not serve until thay are
seventy years DID," he said. Many of
them will be disabled either physical
ly or mentally before reaching that
age, and will be retired under the pro-
visions Of the bill.
The bill provides that if an en-
ploye has served fifteen years and is
disabled he may be retired with an
annuity.
"As taxpayer, I am willing that
a government employe who has been
disabled after fifteen years service
shall draw pension" said Senator
Smoot. but I am not willing that an
employe who is well and capable of
sixty-five or sixty-two years of age
on pension from the government
and while drawing a pension shall
give his energies to outside employ
ment."
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
attacked the whole scheme of retire
ff1ent for federal employees. with the
government as contributor TO the
pension fund. He argued that it was
unjust to the people of the United
States outside of the government
service, who were compelled to pay
these pensions and who themselves
were not eble to draw pensions from
the government.
Terms 1t Glass Legislation.
"I am not particularly opposed to
an old-age pension BILL" he said. But
it should care for all men and women
who reach the age of seventy and
who are not able to care for them
selves" He insisted that the pending
bill was class legislation.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio. who has
been strong opponent of the retire
ment bill as reported to the Senate.
announced that he would support the
bill with the Smoot amendment.

NAVY BUSHES SHIPS
 TO SUBMERGED CREW
(By United Press)

Washington, Sept 3.-Thirty- five men and two officers of the American submarine S-5 were finally rescued today after being submerged without air for a period of over 35 hours. Only the. fact that an S. o. S. call from the depths of the ocean was picked up by the steamer General Goethals and then wirelessed to the coast made the rescue possible For tune played twice in favor of the sub- merged crew. The message from the Generel Goethals was picked up by an amateur wireless operator at Farm ington, w. Va, and made public It was confirmed at the Philadelphia navy yard, and specially equipped craft rushed to the rescue of the S-5
 The submarine went to the bottom off Cape Henlopen. As the General Goethals steamed along, bouy in it's course, ringing sharply, caught the attention of the forward watch, and small boat was dispatched. Its telephone apparatus caught the mes sage from the sea. No aid could be given, however, as the Goethals did not carry the apparatus required to cut through the iron hull of the S-5. When the final message came from the sub, "We must have more air." en- ergency measures were taken and the hull raised and a small hole put through the hull with Impoverished rig ging. Air pumped through this hole kept the crew alive until the arrival of the Atlantus, which raised the sub and released it's crew.
 While the Goethals kept the sub safe and pumped in barely enough air to keep the crew alive, the navy de- partment distpached battleships, two destroyers from the Norfolk base, a destroyer with naval constructors and a special equipment from Philadelphia and fourth destroyer and torpedo boat from New York Lieut.. Com. c. M. Cook of Arkansas was in command of the ship.
 Navy officers said that sub of the S-5 type ordinarily carried air sufficient for 72 hours, but that the peculiar position in which it was plac- ed reduced this. No details of the ac- cident which submerged the S-5 had | been received at the navy building.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
ASSASSINATED
EIFTY-FIvE years ago today Pres

| EIFTY-FIVE years ago today Pres
ident Lincoln was assassinated
A little band of fanatical seseS.
sionists, John Wilkes Booth. actor.
Lewis Powell, Geo. Atzerrodt, David
E. Herold, Samuel Arnold, Michael
O'Laughlin and John H. Surratt. had
for months engaged in a fantastic
plot which had for its object the can
ture of Lincoln and his abduction 10
Richmond. When the Confederacv
fell, Booth, changed his plans. The
plot was to kill not only President
Lincoln, but also Vice President
Johnson and Secretary of State Sc
ward.
The final plans were not completed
until the day of the assassination.
Booth was we'll known and liked
about the old Ford Theater on
Tenth street, which Lincoln was to
attend that night.
A few minutes before 10, Booth
entered the theater. Holding a pis-
tol in one hand and knife in the 9TH
er, he opened the box door. put the
pistol to the Presidents S head and
fired. Major Rathbone, an army Off
Ger, sprang toward him, and Booth
struck savagely at him inficting a
deep wound of the left arm Placing
his left hand on the rail of the box
Booth sprang onto the stage, where
the horror stricken company were
huddled. His spur caught in the
Union flag hanging in front of the
box and he fell. Rising, apparently
unhurt, he faced the audience, shout
ed ''Sic Semper Tyrannis," the motto
of Virginia, and rapidly ran off the
stage and through the door. Major
Rathbone shouted, stop him, he has
shot the Presidentr' but in the con-
fusion he was gone.
Lincoln scarcely moved; his head
dropped forward, his eyes closed.
Tender hands carried him across the
street and laid him upon a bed in a
private house. The bullet, entering
the back of his head, had logged behind
the left eye after passing through the
brain. In spite of the nature of his
wound, Lincoln lived until half past
z in the morning. AS ne passed
away Stanton broke the silence by
, saying, "Now he belongs to the ages
Booth made his way on horseback,
in spite of a broken leg, to Port To-
bacco, Md, then across the Potomac,
into Virginia. He eluded pursuit un-
til the 25th of April, when he was
surrounded in a barn below Freder-
icksburg by soldiers, and refusing to
surrender, was shot. The other con
spirators were either executed, or
sentenced to Imprisonment on the is
land of Tortugas, off the Florida
coast. One, John III. Surratt. escan-
ed to Canada, thence to Europe, was
afterwards brought back, tried and
released.

testified that $25 was enough for a
