Poe's Graphic Sketch
of Wissahickon Beauty

When Edgar Allan Poe lived and
worked in Philadelphia from 1888 to
1914 the scenic beauties of the Wis
sahickon valley impressed the poet so
much that he gave vivid descrip-
tion of the region in sketch with
himself as the narrator.
The tale entitled Morning on the
Wissahickon," reveals Poe drifting
in a skiff upon the surface of the
stream during sultry summer day.
In half slumber he lets his imagi
nation conjure up visions of the Wis
sahickon of Indian days, when pic
MICS We're undreamed Of"
The picture is in striking contrast
to the popular conception of the half
starved unhappy genius who wrote
such morbid works as 1.-THE Raven
and "The Murders in the Rue
Morgue." while living at $40 North
Seventh street, where the one hun
dred and twenty-fifth anniversary OF
his birthday was recently celebrated
at a brilliant gathering of writer's
and other nOtables. The occasion
also marked the opening of the Poe
house as shrine to his memory.
Extolling the beauties of the Wis
sahlckon, Poe declared that "were ii
flowing in England it would be the
theme of every bard. and the com
mon topic of every tongue, If. indeed
it's banks were not parceled off in
lots at exorbitant prices, as buildi.-r
sites for the villas of the Opulent."

Why Children Need
a Liquid Laxative

The temporary relief children get
from unwise dosing with harsh
cathartics may cause bowel strain,
and even set up irritation in the
kidneys. A properly prepared liquid
laxative brings perfect movement.
There is no discomfort at the time
and no weakness after. You don't
have to give the child "a double
dose" day or two later.
Can constipation be safely relieved
in children2 "Yesp' say medical men.
"Yesp' say many mothers who have
followed this sensible medical advice:
1. Select good liquid laxative. q
Give the dose you find suited to the
system. 8. Gradually reduce the dose
until the bowels are moving regularly
without aid.
An approved liquid laxative Zone
that is widely used for children) Is

mild laxative action of this excellent
preparation is the best form of help
for children-and grown-ups, too.

BLIZZARD GIVES
HORSES DAY OF
REAL "COMEBACK'

An incident of the winter, when
many parts of Massachusetts were
showed under" drew the following
interesting editorial comment from
the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
1.-The people of North Adams,
Mass. are sleeping peacefully these
snowy nights thanks to the vigilant
loyalty of Maggie and Maude. Sew
eral years ago Maggie and Maude
went over the hill TO the poorfarm
That was when North Adams joined
the procession of modern cities and
motorized it's fire department That
meant from hose cart to dump cart
for Maggie and Maude. In view
of their long service they were given
light work and liberal oats by way
of old age pension.
Their career was drab enough
until this winters fury piled blizzard
upon blizzard for the hill towns of
western Massachusetts. The snow
became too deep for North Adams
snappy fire equipment. But the chief
remembered Maggie and Maude.
"They were brought back to the
old station. Spare tires and retired
checker tables were cleared out and
their old stalls were bedded down
One fancies they looked in vain for
the familiar hanging harness and
probably gazed disdainfully at the
oily drip pans under the fire engine.
But when the hose truck they had
hauled in other days was fixed up
with runners, Maggie and Maude
may have exchanged ladylike
equine chuckle over the belated rec
ognition of their worth.
Nor are Maggie and Maude the
only horses to have the laugh on
their modern rivals. Throughout the
deep snow zone of the East, sleds
and cutters are passing up stalled
autos and trucks, and the pleasant;
ring of sleigh bells resounds where
it had not been heard for many years.
Up in Vermont and New Hampshire
where they never try to explain away
deep snow the horses have their day
every winter.
"But it takes an old-faShioned win
ter to demonstrate the old-fashioned
reliability of Maggie and Maude. One
wonders what North Adams will do
if it has a similar blizzard in, say,
the winter of 1854"

Wolf Wins Honors as
Suner "Police DOG"

Around the world has gone the
fame of wolf, probably the sole
illustrious wolf on record. and it is
in Chinese magazine that one
learns of him now. though he lives
in Austria, and rates as Europe's
smartest. says the Literary Digest.
He was a cub in the Bosnian woods
when Vienna police clerk. out hunt
ing, captured him six years ago, and
began to train him with animals al
ready in service. Last year the wolf
took first prize at an international
police dog show, making not single
mistake in tests for training, skill,
and accuracy. He had won more
than two hundred prizes before that.
Commenting on his brilliant ca
reer. the China Journal remarked.
"We are not surprised to learn of
this VOLTS accomplishments. for it
is the experience of every hunter
who has matched his wits against
wolves that they are possessed of an
intelligence which is uncanny in its
human qualities, and to it is added
super-sharpened senses of hearing
and smell as well as an unerring in
stinct in detecting danger from man.
Unquestionably the so-called Alsatian
owes it's superior intelligence to the
fact that it is little more than do
mesticated wolf, Notwithstanding that
many lovers of this breed hold views
to the contrary"

ancient peoples 1t is associated with the wor-
ship of Astarte, a goddess of the Phoenicians,
Isis of the Egyptians, Diana of the Greeks and
Romans and Eostre of the Teutons
In fact, there are some who say that get
the name of Easter from this Teutonic goddess,
Eostre, who was worshipped in the spring, al
though others claim that 1t is derived from the
word "east," one of the four cardinal points 1t
is also the cardinal point which has always
been most important in all religious ceremonies
of all and creeds. This is because it is the
part of the heavens where the sun is seen to
rse-the sum- bringer of light and heat, the
very giver of life ITSELF The most primitive in
telligence of the most primitive man recognized
the fact that the sun and life were inseparably
associated and it was only natural that when
he came to worship the thing which was greater
than he, he should turn to the East whence
came that greater and higher thing which he
recognized as being the life-giving power.
The symbols which we have retained from
these pagan festivals to associate with our cele-
bration of Easter include the white lily the rab-
bit and the egg The Greeks and Romans priced
the white lily above all other flowers and in
their earlier civilizations it had already come
to symbolic purity and virtue, hence appro-
pirate symbol for a festival celebrating renewed
life.
The association of the rabbit hare with
Easter has its foundations in the ancient be-
lief in European and Asiatic countries that the
hare is the symbol for the moon The moon is
the "open-eyed watcher of the night" and the
hare is a nocturnal animal The yeang of the
hare are born with their eyes open and are said
never to close them Since the date of Easter is
governed by the moon. it is easily seen how the
rabbit. which is the symbol for the moon, came
to be an Easter symbol also
AS for the egg, the Egyptians regarded it as
emblem of the recreation of things and of mems
regeneration and associated 1t with the worship
of their goddess. Isis. as did the Phoenicians
the Greeks Romans and Teutons with their god
desses who were the objects of their veneration
In spring festivals.

WATER AND MILK ARE SAFE

Reporting that six cases Of typhoid
fever have been discovered In Bis.
marck during the last few days, city
health authorities Tuesday began On
intensive search for the source Of In.
lection.
At the same time they warned citi-
zens to aid in projecting themselves
against the spread Of the malady
which often has severe consequences
to those who recover from It and also
frequently causes death.
First steps In the search for the
source Of infection have been careful
examinations Of the city water and
milk supplies. both Of which have been
found to be satisfactory.
Other normal means Of spreading
the disease are the ordinary house fly
and human carriers. The public ID
asked to cooperate In the campaign
against the former and health au-
thorities are making examinations to
determine II there are any Of the lat
ter.
Using the wide powers conferred by
law upon health officers, DR.. A. NJ.
Fischer, city health director issued
orders that all outside toilets. con-
sidered likely sources Of Infection. be
made ny-proof at once and that they
be disinfected daily by liberal appli-
cations Of chloride Of lime.
Northeast District Hit
The reason for this u that Ill six
Of the cases reported to date are To-
Gated In the northeastern part Of the
city in homes served by city water
but which lack sanitary sewage facili-
ties.
DR.. Fischer said the city ordinance
requiring all garbage to be placed In
covered containers will be strictly en-
forced to shut off possible spread Of
the disease from that source.
The normal period Of incubation for
typhoid fever Is from seven to Il days
and DR.. Fischer pointed to the posi-
bility that further cases may develop
among persons already exposed to In
lection. The normal symptoms Of
typhoid, he said, are headache. gen.
eral tiredness and weakness, lack Of
appetite and sometimes diarrhea or
constipation. Later high fever de-
velops, accompanied by stomach pains.
Persons experiencing such . condi-
ton are asked to call q physician. It
it suggested that all others be i'm
munized, since q serum treatment
Is practically 100 per cent effective.
Some summer dysentery Is normal
and has occurref this year in Bis
marck, DR.. Fischer said, and should
not be confused with the symptoms
Of typhoid fever, although It Is better
to call the doctor and have IN exam
tnati0n than to risk the spread Of
typhoid.

WHEAT CONFERENCE
IN LONDON TACKLES
SURPLUS PROBLEMS
Review Shows World Drouth
Will Alleviate Cutting
of Markets
PRODUCTION CUT HEAVILY
Acreage Reduction Is First Task
OF Meet; Percentage May
Be Eased

London. Aug. 14.-(F-That neces-
sity still exists for government meas
ures to bring wheat farmers q
satisfactory margin Of profit was
stressed at the opening session Tues
day Of the international wheat con-
ference.
A review Of the current situation
disclosed that the wheat diplomats"
expect the 1000, ooo, 900 pushel glut Of
world stocks will be considerably
alleviated as a result Of the universal
drouth. This, they estimate, will cut
normal production this year by $780,
100000 to 100000, 900 bushels.
But we still have far to 60 If we
want to safeguard the world against
the grave crises in the future" said
q conference spokesman.
A summary Of drouth results made
at the meeting brought out that Ar
gentina alone Of the big producers
will have a good crop. But big carry
overs were found still 10 be q serious
menace.
just back from q European tour,
Andrew Curns OF Canada, secretary
Of the world wheat commission, said
he found that France, Yugoslavia and
Hungary especially will have larger
carryover than was anticipated
earlier.
The first problem to be tackled BY
the conference, at which is countries
are represented, IS acreage reduction.
It was learned that American, Ca
madam and Australian delegates, who
held preliminary meetings Monday,
want to maintain reductions already
effected during the past year and
also to bring European countries into
the scheme.
At least Is per cent reduction by
each Of the four big producers-for
the United States this would mean
merely maintaining the reduction ef-
fected during the past year-and re-
auctions Of from 10 to Is per cent BY
various European countries is de-
sired.
The big four" are Canada, the
United States, Australia and Argen.
tina.
II an agreement can be reached
delegates expect It to lead to an ex-
tension Of the international wheat
pact signed by 81 countries last fall.
The pact ends July 81, 1885, but any
acreage reductions next year would
affect crops marketed during 1885,
80.
Delegates indicated the question OF
extension Of the wheat pact probably
would be taken up before the subject
Of export quotas. There are strong
indications the United States will be
satisfied with q quota Of about 35.-
100000 bushels, although it was ten
tatively granted 100000 bushels for
the second year.
The attitude Of American, Canadian
and Australian delegates toward an
Argentine demand for q quota Of
$50 600, 900 bushels, it was learned,
will depend upon what Argentina does
