Phelan, who was stricken with

morrow morning.
Capt. Phelan was born aboard
the ship Philip Fitzpatrick. July
%, 1879, while the vessel was
anchored in the harbor of Hon
Kong, China. The ship was
partially owned by his father,
who was in command of the yes
sci, and the homt port was Phila-
delphia. He received his training
for a seaman aboard the school
ship Saratoga, maintained at the
time by the state of New York to
train officers for coastwise ships.
During the Spanish-American
war, Capt. Phelan offered his
service to the United States gov
eminent, and was made third Of
ficer aboard the transport La
Grande Duchess, and served in
that capacity throughout the
duration of the war. Returning
to the school ship after the war,
he finished his. course and gradu-
ated with high honors.
Capt. Phelan's first employment

was made commander of the ferry
steamer Estrada Palma. At diff
ferent times he had been in com
rend of nearly all the P. & o.
ships that belong to- this port,
and was recognized as the Oldest
officer in point of service and
ono of tba most efficient and CON-
scientieus commanders on the
Atlantic coast.
He was born aboardship, spent
his life at sea and was stricken
down with paralysis on his last
voyage, with friends thinking he
was in the best of health and
spirits when the Estrada Palma
elided out the harbor Saturday
morning an route to Havana with

Be Kind to Animals

BY virtue of his superior position Nero was the
ruler of the Roman world. He held within the hollow

Nero abused his power, and the atrocities he COM
mtted shock us. But when Nero, who believed that
other inferior animals made living torches of

commentary upon the innate goodness and kindness of
the human race The majority of men and women do not

San Antonio Premier
Convention City

A LMOST on the of the dedication of the NUM-
n cipal auditorium, San Antonio is thronged with
4 visitors attending two important conventions,
of the foryseventh district of International Rotary
and that of the Lumbermans association. In addition
this weeks activities include two major initiation cere-
monies one being conducted by the Knights of Column
bus with 80 candidates and the other by the Scottish
Rite Masons with 200.
Since pioneer days when San Antonio was the rem
devious where frontersman met frontersman for the
transaction of business and for brief periods of reaXa
ton the Alamo City has been the favored spot in the
Southwest for the holding of conventions and similar
gatherings No convention is successful from the point
of view of delegates and visitors unless business and
pleasure mixed in just the right proportions. The
same attractions that draw thousands of tourists here
annually are invaluable assets to San Antonio con-
vention city.
Last year, according to figures obtained by the
Chamber of Commerce, approximately 10000 delegates
and visitors attended conventions and similar gatherings
n San Antonio. This number probably will be equalled
Or excelled in 1926 1t has been estimated that San An
tono's reputation good place in which to convene
was worth at least 600 900 in immediate cash returns
last year.
The opening of the municipal auditorium this
month will do much to enhance the reputation of San
Antonio a convention city, 1t that San Antonio
will have adequate facilities to for the largest con-
ventions likely to meet outside the population ceners of

Population Increase

~ UR population is increasing faster in this decade
I i than it did in the last.
The census estimate is that on July the United
States will contain III, 1887 inhabitants. In 1920 it
had 1O5,71O62O Carrying the same ratio of increase
to 1880, we shall have 124,752,610.
This would be an increase of IS per cent. In ten
years from 1910 to 1920 gained only 149 per cent
1t had been thought that the immigration laws, now
much stricter would keep down our ratio of increase
The last decade however, the war period in which
immigration dropped to very low figures.

CURING NETTLERASH
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
Newspaper Feature Services, Incl

Nature provided a perfect covering
for the body by giving it the elastic,
firm and attractive skin. No matter
how the body is bent or twisted, the
flexible tissue takes up the slack and
adapts itself to the unusual position.
The appearance and condition Of the
skin give the keen observer a very
accurate idea of the state Of health
Of its owner. One of the first things
the doctor does is to survey the skin,
to see if it is pale or flushed, parched
or swollen, clear or in a state Of erup-
ton.
The earliest sign Of many disturb
ances can be found here. The flushed
neck is the first sign Of scarlet fever,
even earlier than the sore throat.
An eruption on the face or fore
head may be a warning that measles
have arrived. Painting, apopleIy and
other conditions give warning in the
face.
Indigestion, intestinal fermentation,
constipation, defective kidney climina-
ton and various foods and drug poison
ing may involve the skin. One COM
mon form Of skin disturbance is known
as nettlerash or hives. The doctors call
it "urticaria.7
When q mosquito bites you, it pro-
duces a swollen wheal or elevated spot.
in urticuria there will be a number
Of such places. Every one is the cen.
ter Of a lot Of itching and burning.
Without warning, out will come
these spots. They may be limited to
a small area, or the entire body may
De involved.
II you have never seen a case, you
Will be alarmed by the looks Of the
skin. Round, hard Jumps, white cen
tered and surrounded by redness, are
characteristics Of urticaria. The vic
Tin cries with agony on account Of
the itching and smarting.
The frightful eruption disappears in
a few hours. 1t is very real while
il lasts.
Almost always it is easy 10 deter
mine that some digestive disturbance
is TO blame for the skin symptoms. A
few questions will settle it. Indiscre-
tons in eating and the eating Of ar
ticles known 70 be upSetting are the
plain cause Of the trouble.
Certain fgodstuffs are particularly
troublesome. Sbellfisb, and other fish,
TOO, and strawberries are particularly
like 10 produce nettlerash. Cream has
this effect sometimes.
You may be surprised 10 know that
nettlerash may be classified with
asthma and other nervous disorders.
Food poisoning or indigestion may
produce one or all Of these conditions.
There is an unquestionable relation
ship bctW cen asthma and nettlerash.
The first effort in ee7ry case is TO
stop the terrible itching. For this pur.
pose there is nothing better than bypo-
sulphitc cf soda. II the area involved
is small, dissolve a tablespoonful Of
