NEW SCIENCE TRIUMPH

Another triumph of medical sci
ence, announced from Toronto,
Canada, is the discovery of a new
extract, said to have proven of
great value in the treatment of
high blood pressure and other kim
dred ailments which have hitherto
baffled physicians.
An elderly physician who was
one of the first patients treated by
the new method, declares that his
blood pressure was reduced to nor
NAL and that he was entirely freed
from depressing symptoms, enabl-
ing him to resume his practice. No
recurrence of his trouble had taken
place a month after treatment had
been discontinued. Other patients
reported similar results.
More exhaustive tests of the new
remedy, which is an extract made
from the livers of two-year-old cat
tie, will be made. After full con-
firmation of it's beneficial effects is
obtained, the discovery will be CIV
en- to the world.
Thus, one by one the bodily ills
which beset the human race are
being conquered through the pa
tient labors of devoted scientists.
In other lines of endeavor the same
class of earnest investigators are
remaking the world in which we
live.
Yet, through ignorance and SUI
perstition, millions of people still
sneer at science and scientists

invalids with good intentions but
bad judgment.
First, she says, talk about cheer
full things instead of illnesses and
symptoms. Make calls short. Even
a cheerful caller is too much ex-
citement for a very sick person,
and a gloomy one is positive
menace. Tell the patient he looks
better, if you must comment on
his appearance, but it is prefer
able not to make the patient self
conscious. 1t is little enough
pleasure to be seen while i'll with
out adding the misery of having
ones looks discussed.
Lastly, the ex-invalid says, i'm
agine yourself in the patients po-
sition and act accordingly. Any
one who has ever been i'll should
know how to take that suggestion.

MONEY IN THE NEWSPAPER

What an inspiration the country
editors must get from reading re-
cent dispatches telling of the
prosperity attained by newspaper
publishers in the big eastern cir
cult!
Press dispatches yesterday stat
ed that the Chicago News sold at
price of between $4,000, 900
and $18,O0O,OO0." A few days be-
fore we were informed that Mum
sey left an estate estimated at
close to $5O,OOO,OOO.
BUT, when we read those stories
we were reminded of the one pre-
viously detailed in regard to the
Kansas publisher who retired"
from the business with $4,000, of
which he inherited $49,5OO from a
rich relative few days before he

But Doubts Whether Larger Force Would Stamp Out Lawless
 Element Here. ''

Mayor Weld believes it would be a fine thing" if more policemen were appointed to aid in coping with the lawless element which has been es- pecially active here in the past two weeks, but he doubts if this would put an end to the crime wave, he declared today.
 Leaders in both political parties had an informal conference follow ing Wednesdays meeting of the common council and agreed that more patrolmen will be required. It was indicated that suggestion from. the police board to that end would receive immediate considera- ton. Mayor Weld's remarks today gave further indication of willing ness on the part of the city fathers to augment the force.

 CONSIDERABLY CUT
Belgian Also Is Planning Big
 Reduction in Forces

London, Dec. 17 R-The fighting strength of the British army has been reduced by one-third since pre- war days.
 Parliament was told by Lord Middleton before its adjournment that the present total, including reg ulars, army reserve. special reserve and territorials. was 413,5o0 men, a decrease of 234,500.
 At the same times he declared, the administrative staff of the war office had been doubled. In his opinion it was midsummer madness to clip the army to maintain the war office"
 The Earl of Onslow. replying for the government, said the army would not be reduced below the strength required to meet the con- mitments undertaken by the gov ernn1ent with the consent of parlia- ment.
 Brussels, Belgium, 'Dec. IT R- The man-power of the Belgian army is to be reduced by 20 per cent next year. The number of men under arms will be 62,o00, as compared with 77,00O this year.
 The reduction forms part of the economy measures taken to bring the country back to sound financial health.

the Parthenon. Though a bomb from
the forces of the Venetian Morosini
in 1857 caused the destructive explo-
sion of the powder stored there by the
Turks, the Parthenon still retains its
majesty despite its ruins. A few frag-
ments of the carved metopes and the
great frieze remain in place, though
most of the sculptures have been
transplanted to the British Museum in
London. Scarcely a speck of the
bright color which originally covered
the sculptures now remains. The Par
thenon commands a magnificent view
of Athens, the bay, and the surround
ing mountains including Pentilicon,
from whose quarries quantities of
stone were taken for the Greek tenn
pies and some of the modern struc-
lures. Funds are being raised for the
work of reconstructing some of the
columns of the Parthenon which are
now scattered in blocks No new ma

morning when we were scheduled to
reach Athens. Clouds topped peaks
most Unexpectedly snow covered;
peaks so cloud-like in appearance that
disagreement arose as to their real
substance II was hardly believable
that we were nearing Athens, tales of
whose ancient glory had thrilled us
and whose great literature and art had
held us spell-bound by their beauty.
We awoke in the morning to find
the boat anchored in the harbor of
Piraeus, the port of Athens, whose i'm
portance of old had occasioned the
building of the Long Walls" to con-
meet it with the city at the foot of the
Acropolis. Flat bottomed tugs trans
ported us over the shallow harbor to
the waiting autos. Then we were
whisked across the five miles of plain
separating Piraeus from Athens and
up to the foot of the rocky Acropolis.
There above us were the dignified
ruins of the glory of ancient Greece.
As we wound up the rugged path and
up the pieces of marble steps, the ma
jestic fragments of the great columns
of the Propylea, which had glowed
with the splendor of the professions
of worshippers of Athena over 1000
years ago, patiently looked down upon
the hordes of awe-inspired travellers
from all over the world. On the bas-

Huge Empire, Erected
on Scab Tobacco, Now
Begins to Take Form
tspseIsI % rhe paIIy worksrl

DURHAM, N. c., Nov. II. -(FP)-
James B. Duke is dead but his feudal
empire continues to expand.
Prospects of extending the Pied
mont and Northern railway from
Greenwood, S. c., to Durham are an
other step in the extension Of the vast
Industrial barony ruled by the des-
cendants Of the monarch of Bull Dur
ham" and Dukes Mixture" This
development has been impending for
several years. Now 1t seems likely
of early realization.
Dukes keen capitalistic mind fore
saw a great system of electrified rail-
ways Of which the P. & N. would be
but a section. The board of directors
of the P. & N. is taking steps to build
the road from Charlotte to Durham
as the first relay in the extension.
Duke visioned a tobacco trust in
which "scab" labor working for low
wages would be uniformly employed.
a huge hydro-electric system of which
the Carolina Light & Power Co. is the
outcome, and an electric railway sys-
tenn to traverse the two Carolinas.
His plans have materialized in part
and the others are rapidly doing so.
Dukes Interests recently gained con-
troll of the Norfolk and Southern, and
that road will be linked up with the
Duke electric railway system.
Duke University, the second richest
college in the country, is another of
the creations of the tobacco magnate.
Meanwhile, "scab" labor and low
pay are still the rule in the dingy
Duke tobacco mills.

Favors Extra Session
of Congress to Pass !.
Farm Relief Program

WASHINGTON, Ia, Nov. 17.-In his
first statement since his election,
Smith w. Brookhart, republican sena.
tor-elect, today declared a special SEES
sion of congress should be forced next
spring for the purpose Of passing farm
relief legislation.
Senator Brookhart intimated a fill
buster at the short term to prevent
passage of appropriation bills before
the adjournment Of congress, March 4,
would force the president to call an
extra session.
Being opposed to farm legislation,
there is no doubt that the president
will call an extra session unless APP
preparation bills are displaced until
after March A." Mr.. Brookhart said.
"The appropriation bills do not need
to pass until June. Therefore there
is plenty OF time at an extra session
to pass farm bill and then pass the
appropriation bills.
IF the farm bill was signed by the
president the fight would be won. II
1t is vetoed, it would be the issue OF
the national convention. This is the
only chance for success Of the farmer"
