EARLY TUBERCULOSIS
COMMON SENSE WAYS TO KEEP WELL

cured, but left to develop, it is in
vincible.
The person having esrly tuber-
Culosis may not suspect 1t or even
know that he is ill. There are GER
tain signs however. which should
prompt the Intelligent person to
seek expert examination.
These signs are:
/. WEAKNESS out of proportion to
the days work, especially when it
appears in a person usually ener-
getic and active.
2. Cough. tuberculosis may ex-
list and become far advanced with
out cough or the cough may not be
more than a slight tendency to clear
the throat. Any cough or necessity
for clearing the throat frequently
that lasts more than two or three
weeks should be looked upon with
suspicion.
appetite.
4. Loss OF weight, not otherwise
accounted for.
s. Slight fever in the afternoon.
G.. Sh%ortness of breath, especial
ly on slight exertion, may often be
an early symptom.
T.. Continued h~oarseness or less
! of voice should have immediate at
tention.
s. Digestive disturbances always
accompany tuberculosis.
9. Blood In the spit rarely occurs
in any other condition than that of
tuberculosis. Even slightly streaked
spit should cause the patient to
seek medical advice.

mer, For one who does not belong
to a club, good duck hunting costs
from $40 to $40 a day, including the
guide. a motorboat, a sink-box ana
a fleet of decoys. The number of the
places where you can go out in your
own boat and paddle about with any
hope of getting a shot is very small.
The Anthony-New bill provides
that the Department of Agriculture
shall buy or rent suitable areas OF
ponds and marshes In all of the
states. The maintenance of these
preserves is to be paid for by a fed
eral hunting license of $1.00. to be
paid by every citizen who shoots
over the government preserves.
These areas are to be scientifically
administered. They will be stocked
with fish, and the plants which FUR
nish the best food for wild fowl Will
be introduced. The birds will be
carefully protected in the closed
seasons, and the areas will be public
hunting grounds in the open sea-
on. They will also furnish good
fishing, swimming and camping.
They will be places where school
children can go for picnics and for
purposes Of nature study.
Many picturesque regions. which
otherwise would soon be drained,
will be saved by this measure If 1t
becomes a law. The famous Kan
kakee marshes in Indiana, for ex-
which have been a favorite
resort of sportsmen and naturalists
for a hundred years. would be an
excellent area for government ad-
ministration.

THE STRIKE SETTLED

By calling off the railroad strike the leaders of the rail-
road brotherhoods have done the only thing they could do
and hold the respect of the public. No matter how much the
people might s~ympathize with the railroad employees, 1t was
jmpossible to support them in their attempt to demorallze
The industries of the country and bring untold suffering into
thousands of homes as the tying up of all transportation
would mean
After all, this country is just what the people make it.
Such a strike as the railroad brotherhoods contemplated was
4 strike against themselves and their friends and %neighbors
as well as against the railroad management. In fact, the
public generally would have been the greatest sufferers. To
sead of the steps being taken by the different cities to provide
for the inhabitants thereof while the strike was on sounded
like the preparation for some siege or blockade that was
threatened by an outside enemy. 1t was impossible to believe
that these preparations were being made against the action
OF men who pose as our friends and n~eighbors.

word, such a water area, rightly

Besides these considerations.
marshes and ponds are necessary to
the C of the migratory bird
law. This law, which protects the
wild fowl and other migratory BIRDS
in their spring flight northward, has
already succeeded to the extent that
it has made wild fowl more abun-
dant than they have been in a CEN
tury. 1t has enabled them to reach
their northern breeding grounds
without m~olestation in the spring.
But their haunts in this country,
when they return South in the tall,
have been greatly restricted. The
wild duck is in the position of being
all protected and no place to go.
Costs Money to Hunt.
Then again, an increasing number
of the places where ducks winter
are privately owned and controlled
and the demand for private hunting
grounds by clubs and wealthy 1ndi-
yiduals is on the increase. In many
cases whole marshes are owned. In
other cases, where the areas invol-
we'd are too large far ownership, IKE

Eamous English Actress

The drama Is an art which is
either in it's death throes or on the
eve of being reborn. The two great
means of attaining knowledge are
through the intellect and the heart.
For a long time II has been over
looked by many that the drama is
a very potent force in attaining
knowledge.
The higher emotions-esthetic,
religious and moral-are educated
through the feelings as well as
through the intellect. AS intellect is
lit I'D by emotion, real knowledge Is
attained. In the theatre. when it Is
what it ought to be, you have the
emotions seen in action. But the
modern theatre is very largely di-
vorced from real emotion. 1t Is
superficial. It deals with the mere
surface of human emotions instead
of being d~eep-rooted in the real re-
ligious life Of the community.
1t is not the actors fault IL he
has to appear In the stupid. banal
and idiotic works which the public
seems to enjoy. The standard today
is on a money basis. The measure
of what can be done Is the measure
of what can be got in the box office.
This is wrong, because you can not
keep a money value when you are
dealing with the human heart.

BEFORE making I'D your mind to vote for the S14,OOO,-
600 bond issue which will be put up to every voter at the
coming election it would be we'll to consider the following
facts as set forth by Senator Parry, of Essex county, show
ing how government expenses have been increasing IN re-
cent years. Senator Parry says:
Business is depressed, wages are coming down, but
the costs of government seem to be ever mounting
upward. On a per capita basis each person In the
United States would pay slightly less than S43 each
wear. or 1914 for a family of five, for the expenses OF
orr national government. In addition to that each per-
son in the state of New Jersey would pay for the ex-
penses of our local and state governments, at the rate
of So per annum, or $40 for a family OF five. me
cost of government to each person in New Jersey,
therefore, averages ST., or 1875 for each family OF
five. When it is costing the average head OF a family
of five over a dollar a day, including Sundays, for the
expenses of government, it is time to sit up and take
notice." =.
AS the Evening News declared at the very beginning oil
the campaign, economy is the main issue this year. But how
can we impress the legislators with the need of strict econ
omy in government affairs if we deliberately vote them more
millions to spend every time they ask for the money? Out
Of the waste and extravaganza now so prevalent in govern
be spent for could be done. But it is so much easier to Dor
row money through the issuing of bonds to crafty present
desires at the expense of the future that the government Of
>acials will always try to secure a bond issue if they can.
But. thanks to the foresight of the trainers of the state con-
sHtution. the state cannot be bonded for more than 100000
without the consent of the people. Hence the referendum at
the coming election.
One Of the ways to express your demand for economy
in government affairs is to vote mo" on the ST. ,000,O OO
bond issue on November 8.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S.-The
creation of public duck-huntlng
marshes, where the game will be
scientifically protected as it is in the
great private hunting club grounds,
but where any citizen of the United
States may hunt in the open season
by paying one dollar to the federal
government, is now being urged by
the secretary of agriculture.
The plan is embodied in a bill
which has been introduced in the
the House by Representative An
thony and in the senate by Senator
New. If it does not pass, it Will
probably be because of the failure OF
American sportsmen to hear about
it and demand it's passage, for it
will be an undoubted boon to them.
Good hunting and a free range is
what the measure means to the four
or five millions of American gunners,
but it mean a good deal more than
that to the government scientists
who have framed it. They say ag-
riculture requires that a large part
of the remaining marsh lands and
ponds in this country be kept in their
natural state. If the drainage OF
them goes steadily on, the internal
economy of the soil is going to suf-
fer.
This presumably does not apply
to the costal regions of tn South,
where the whole country is n vas
swamp for miles and miles. But
throughout the New England and
Middle Atlantic states, the Middle
West and West, ponds and marshes
have become steadily fewer for
many years. Most of them have
been drained and converted into
farm lands and factory sites. Even
the great swamp wildernesses of
the South, which begin with the
Dismal Swamp south of Norfolk,
Virginia, and extend in an almost
unbroken strip to the end of the
Everglades in Florida, are b~eginrAng
to be invaded by the drainage canal
and the settler.
Drainage Makes Drouth.
This drainage of swamps was long
| regarded as a good thing, and up TO
a certain point it is. but the ex-
perts have found that when nearly
all of the ponds and marshes in a
given region have been drained. the
land is impoverished. The water
table-that is, the level of the un-
foreground waterfalls. This makes
the region more susceptible to
drouth. 1t affects the growth of for
ests and the flow of Atreams. 1t
upsets the balance of nature. If this
drainage goes on unchecked the ag-
ricultural value of great areas OF
land will be impaired.
Furthermore, the experts point out
that If these marshes and ponds are
rightly used. they often produce
more than the land under them
would produce if drained. If the tax.
ing of these creatures is controlled
so that they are kept at a maximum
abundance, a marsh or pond may
make a considerable yield per acre
in fish and fur, not to mention wild
fowl. Many marshes in addition
yield grasses valuable as hay, ant
in manufactures. Marshes and ponds
give a supply of natural ice. In

Whatever else a man has to do
who has a son, his real business is
to make a man of that boy. If he
neglects this high duty and inestim-
able privilege, no matter what his
reason or excuse, he will surely live
to rue the day.
Whatever else a father gives his
son, he should not fail to give HIM
self. He Is himself a larger gift
than any he can earn and convey

Boys need mothers. and mothers
can do some things with boys and
for boys which fathers cannot do;
but no man is justified in supposing
on this account that he has any
license to neglect his boy, or to turn
him over wholly to his mother.
The wise father will not try to do
his duty by the mere spending of
money for the boy, or letting the
boy spend money upon himself. He
will give himself as well as his
money.
