OBJECTION PLACED ON AGE
But Young Lady’s Idea Wat Altogeth-
er Different From What Cor-
poral Had Feared
“What pensions what millions and
bliliona in pensions this horrible war
U going to entail" said Major Fits-
gerald of Boston Tie added:
"And some of these pensions will
go on longer than they should be-
cause some of the pensioners in their
old age will marry young girls— for
an old pensioner makes a good parti
since bla pension you know fails on
his death to his widow
"I beard the other day about an
old Civil war pensioner who proposed
to the hired girl next door a very
pretty girl of twenty or so Bnt she
refused him
“ ‘Perhaps’ he stammered then
stroking In his embarrassment his
long and snow-white beard ‘perhaps I
am too old'
“ ‘No’ said the pretty hired girl
calmly 'no corporal you're too
young "
Unromnntlc Times
"Old Ironsides was the theme of a
great patriotic poem”
“Yes that was a famous ship”
"The loss of the Royal GeoTge In-
spired a noble poem"

“Great battleships have had their

poems”
“No doubt But what are you driv-

Cruiser Emden That Has Destroyed
Twenty-two Steamer In Daring
Raids That Terrorized Shipping la
Driven Ashore In Flame— Sister
hip Bottled Up
London— The British navy has Just
gotten inth the war picture with two
successes— the destruction of tne
German cruiser Emden in the eastern
waters of the Indian ocean and the
bottling up of the Koenlgs'berg con-
sidered her sister ship in the west-
ern extremity of the same sea
These two raiders especially the
Emden have many successes to their
credit and their akili in evading tne
net thrown out for them has been a
matter of chagrin to British naval
men
The Emden’s end came In battle aa
befitted ber record throughout re-
cent history for according to all ao
counts even those of her victims Blie
played a clean game atriitly in ac-
cordance with the recognized rule of
naval warfare
After a sharp action off Cocos Is-
lands with the Australian cruiser
Sydney the German ship with heavy
casualties was beached ablaze
The German cruiser Koenlgsberg
met a less glorious fate aa she was
bottled up in such a position that Bhe
must either be captured or surrender
though In either case -she probably
will be nothing bnt a useless hulk
The cruiser Chatham which ran
down the Koenlgsberg In the river
opposite the Island of Mafia German
East Africa is a sister ship of the
Sydney which closed the career of
the Emden
Both the Emden and the Koenigs-
berg have tbe destruction of warships
to their credit as well as the sinking
of many merchant shipB The Emden
sank the Russian cruiser Jepmtchug
and a French topedo boat destroyer
off Penang while the KoenlRsberg a
guns made a bulk of tbe British light
cruises Pegasus at Zanzzibar in the
mldlde of September
With the exception of Admiral Von
Spee'a squadron In the Pacific all the
oceans are now believed to be free
of German cruisers and the British
admiralty aiready has informed the
court that adequate measures have
been taken to deal with the victors
of the recent battle off the Chilean
coast
There were exciting scenes at
Lloyd's ahd at the Baltic shipping
agency when news of the end of the
daring commercial raiders was made
known Shipping to far eastern waters
bad been aeriously disorganized ow-
ing to their presenrw
An Immediate effect of the capture
of the German cruiser Emden which
during her career as a commerce de-
pt ryer haa destroyed British ship-
ping estimated here to be worth 610-

DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES
Speaker Says Newspapers Should In-
vestigate Marita of Medicine Be-
fore Barring Advertisements
Th network of nerve In your body
Uko the network of wires In a burglar
alarm system give quick warning
That aa organized attempt has been when BnJthlnf u golng wrong Inside
made to blacken tbe reputation of tbe booking n It In thla way a pain la
popular family remedies of this coun-1 a useful alarm Now kldnoy weak-
try and to mislead tbe newspaper ' uesa la a dangerous thing— a condition
publishers Into rejecting the adver I not to be neglected— and It Is wise
tialng of such medicines was the j to know and pay attention to tbe early
charge made by Carl J Balliett of lnn signals of tick kidney
Buffalo N Y at the convention of the
Advertising Affiliation at Detroit
Mr Balliett la a director of tbe Pro-
prietary Association of America wbicb
includes In lta membership two hun-
dred Arms which make the popular
prepared medicines of America
Mr Balilett pointed out that It ia
the duty of the newspaper publisher
to refuse the advertising of any fake
or fraudulent medicine just as It la
his duty to refuse any take or fraudu-
lent advertising but It ia not right to
hut down on ail medical advertising
because there have been some fakers
any more than it would be right to
refuse to publish all department store
advertising because certain stores
have made a practice of lying about
bargain Bales
Disease and death are mysteries
People who are perfectly well are
skeptical They laugh at the time-
worn patent medicine Joke Just as
they laugh again and again over the
many variations of the operation Joke
—"The operation was a success but
the patient died” Thla so-called hu-
mor haa perhaps hurt the medicine
business with well people but when
the hitherto healthy man feels a se-
vere pain or Illness be Immediately
wants medicine and will bless the
cure whether It be at the hands of a
regular doctor a homeopath an osteo-
path a Christian Scientist or patent
medicine There is nothing more
deadly than disease nothing more
honorable than to cure It
Mr Balliett refuted the Idea sought
to be spread about that patent medi-
cines are unpopular by showing that
from 1900 to 1912 the amount of pre-
pared medicines consumed In America
Increased from 1 00000000 to 160-
000000 annually He showed that al-
though the American Medical Associ-
ation Is trying as an organization to
exterminate so-called patent medi-
cines the family doctor individually
is not fighting them but prescribing
them He estimated that 40 of the
prescriptions written by doctors today
Include proprietary medicines
The writings of Dr Harvey W Wl-
ley he said have also aimed to de-
stroy confidence In proprietary medi-
cines: but that Dr Wiley’s Ideas are
not Infallible la shown by cases where
his analyses were entirely wrong Mr
Balliett mentioned a case where with
all the power of (he Government he
fought a preparation as being dangei
ous to health and was ingiorlously
walloped
There has been spread the Idea that
a clever faker can mix a few usgless
Ingredients and by smart advertising
sell tons of it and win sudden wealth
whereas as a matter of fact the medi-
cine business is notoriously difficult
and where there has been one success
at It there have been a hundred fail-
ures Any medicine which baa no
merit cannot live because persons
who are duped Into buying it once will
not buy it again and the profit from
advertising a medicine cap only come
from repeat sales to the same satis-
fied people Therefore any medicine
which haa been on the market for a
number of yeara and Is still adver-
tised must have merit behind It to ac-
count for Its success
In conclusion Mr Balliett declared
that no newspaper Is doing Justice to
Its readers in the matter of medical
or other advertising unless It investi-
gates not only the wording of the ad-
vertisement offered for publication
but the merits of the article adver
tlaed He pointed out that the few
newspapers Who have been deluded
Into the policy of barring out medical
advertising have adopted this general
policy rather than to form an Inves-
tigation bureau of this kind which
could In a constructive and useful ef-
fort Investigate and decide what la
a good product and what Is -a fraud
In not ‘only the medicine business but
tn every other business which adver
Uses its wares to tbe public
The audience eeemed to agree with
Mr Bailiett's ideas on the subject and
the chairman decided the question at
Issue in his favor

Breakfast
In eome parts of the Canadian hack
country the recurrence of boiled sal-
mon broiled aalinon salmon cutlets
and salmon steak at every meal be-
comes after a few weeks a trifle
monotonous To the native palate
brought up on it this constant reap
pearance of the selfsame dish la a
matter of course but to the newly
arrived tourist it grows at last into a
feeble joke
“la ttjere nothing else for break-
fast?” said one such victim or coloninl

of muBtard were laid before him on
the tablp”
"Nothing else!" replied the host In
surprise “Why there's salmon enough
there for alx alnt' there?”
"Yea" responded the guest mildly
“but I don’t care for salmon"
“Well then Are into the mustard”

Henry who thought her Borne sweet-

evening they were leisurely rambling
along the country road when John
Henry noticed that Maude Marie’s
thought eeemed afar off
“You look like somnambulism Ma
rle” remarked the young man “Where
are your thoughts?”
“I waa thinking of the night John
dear” tenderly replied the fair one
"Isn't it sublime? Isn't It glorious?
Isn't It the most wonderful night you
ever saw?"
“Tea" was the startling rejoinder of
the practical John “It la just the kind
of a night to Bhoot cats”
