CLINICS TO BE HELD
AT STATE HOSPITAL

tuberculosis clinics will BE-
held regularly at the Fairmont
Hospital on the East Side begin
ming Saturday morning from $3.50
to 1880 o'clock. The clinics arc
open to all persons interested In
their personal health or that OF
their children. No fee will be
charged and the examinations will
be done by physicians who hav"
made a special study Of chest dis
eases.
In connection with this work,
Miss NJ. Maloney. local health
nurse. stated, Tuberculosis Is
durable. The only treatment nee.
essary Is a change OF ones mode
Of living. A little more rest, good
food and fresh air or three
months leave OF absence fron
work will save the patients life.
Just because a person does not
know he is suffering from the dis
ease does not signify the idea 10
be a fact" she said. Being ex-
amined never gave anyone tuber.
culosIs but 1t does give one clean
bill Of health, or advice as to care
full living to regain ones health"

Attorneys Almost Cometo
BloUs in Murder Trial of
Mrs. Roster in Philadelphia
Detective Claims Accused
Woman Told Him She Had
Been Drinking.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. %. =
Scenes and episodes which followed
the killing Of both In the office and
at the hospital were recouuted By

ing tried for the death OF the girl.

fled that in response to his CUES.
tons Mrs. Roster had replied she
had had several cups Of wine be.
fore she had committed the crime.
He told how she jumped from her
chair suddenly and exclaimed:
He killed his first wife; she died
Of a broken heart!"
Foy said that she then added: y
II have a baby at home. 1t Is
three months old. l thought this
would keep him straight, but find
no one woman could keep him
straight"

in the vicinity Of the couch. Foy
also identified the spot on the wall
which he did not know but thought
might have been blood spot.

moment in a legal battle which in.
cluded personalities.

tective, declared that Mrs. Roster
told him that she had found her hus.
band and the girl In a compromis.
ing position and that she would

MAKES
Strong Appeal
Address Of Miss Mary Boggess
Features Meeting Of
KiWanis Club.

An inspiring address by Miss
Mary Borgess. Of Fairmont High
School, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Tom Borgess., was the feature or
the KIwanIs luncheon today. Miss
Borgess. took as her topic, Edn.
eating for Leadership" Recitilg
examples OF how prepared and In,
.spird leadership had contributed
to the march Of civilization and
stressing the responsibility that
rested upon those who were looked
upon as leaders, Miss Borgess. made,
strong appeal for that sort or
preparation which would insure the
solution Of present world prob.
lens.
The speaker stated that the
problems which led up to the World
War were no greater than the prob
lens Of world reconstruction which
followed the signing OF the arms:
tice. and for these problems ana
those Of the years to come tlieff
must be the wisest leadership she
paid tribute to the men OF brains
who haye accomplished things ia
the world, and asked that tie;
youth OF marked ability be given
every opportunity to develop his
talents for leadership, and thst
great care be taken that false ideas
and ideals did not make them dan.
gerous and unwise leaders.
Miss Borgess. depiofed the facl
that the large universities did not
90 out and scout for men and wos
men who gave promise Of great
mental achievement Just the Same
as they did for men who 3possesi=
ed extraordinary prowess IN the
athletic field. She held that when
institutions with unusual facilities
for training paid more attention
to developing a reputation on ne.
count Of the mental accomplish
ments OF its graduates instead Of
its victories in athletic tourna
ments, we might expect powerful
leaders who would be able OF lead

 MAKING SWEDEN DRY
Several Bills Have Been Intro
 duced in Parliament There

Stockholm, March 1..--Advocates of prohibition in Sweden have intro- duced several bills in parliament in- tended to clear the way for making the country wholly dry or at least dry in spots.
 Both houses of parliament have adopted a bill authorizing the gov ernment to submit to q general con- sultative referendum the prohibition question or any other on which the parliament desires a popular vote. It is understood, however, the gov ernment will not ask parliament for a prohibition referendum in this session.
 As the referendum is only consult tative, the approval of parliament will be necessary to enact it's decision into law.
 One measure introduced in the Ridsdag would confer power upon municipalities to prohibit the sale of alcoholic liquors.
 The experience of the United States under the prohibition amendment Is being watched closely by both ''wets' and "drys" and both sides of the campaign to outlaw John Barleycorn are making use of reports from America.
 Sweden is now under a rationing system limiting the amount of intoxi- cants any person may purchase in any month.
