Millionaires and Large Families,
'
A good deal has been said of
late in regard to the alleg'd op¬
position of wealthy j»eople to
large families. It seems to lie
tacitly admitted—at least among '
those who have not studied the
subject—that people of lar<»e in-i
■
comes and high social position
liave few children, and are indeed j
opposed to them on principle. i
While the mutter is engaging
public attention it seems perti¬
nent to examine a few facts in re¬
gard to the nutiib-a < f children in
the more prominent millionaire
households.
The late Cornelius Vanderbilt
had seven children, five of whom
grew to maturity. The present
Cornelius Vanderbilt baa two
children, and Alfred Gwvnne
Vanderbilt, who has been married
two years, has a son.
Mr. and Mrs. W illiam K. Van¬
derbilt had three children, fine ]
there are four in the second gener¬
ation. Mrs. Kliot F. Shepard,
Mrs. William I). Sloane, Mrs. H.
McK. Twombly and Mrs. Seward
Webb—-daughters of the late Wil¬
liam H. Vanderbilt—have all been
the mothers of several children.
J. Picrpont Morgan, the great
lias a son and three daughters, be
sides several grandchildren, Col
onel .John Jacob Astor has a son
find a daughter.
Mrs. Edward Fottir has e evt n
children.
John D. Rockefeller, the oil
king, and his brother, William
Kockefeller, have each four chil¬
dren and one grandchild.
As a rule these millionaire fam¬
ilies are not strikingly prolific.
Rut they are not childless. There
is scarcely a childless household
among them. Within the circle
of the very prominent there is not
n single couple which has not been
blessed with one or more child ten.

of Kidney or Bladder disease that is not beyond the reach %
of medicine . No medicine can do more .
If you notice any irregularities , commence taking
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE at once and avoid a fata! malady.
i SELOW IS A TESTIMONIAL FROM ONE OF THE MANY THOUSANDS
WHO HAVE BEEN CURED BY THIS GREAT MEDICINE.
A. H. Thurness, Mgr. Wills Creek Coal Co., Buffalo, O., writes: l 'I have been afflicted
with kidney and bladder trouble for years, passing gravel or stones with excrucia
ting pains, Other medicines only gave relief. After taking Foley’s Kidney Cure
the 'result was surprising. A few doses started the brick dust like fine stones, etc.,
and now I have no pain across my kidneys and I feel like a new man. Fcley’s
Kidney Cure has done me $1000 worth of good. »>

«‘*uud.i rather strange but it
trno.
Thu fact id, the very wealthy
decidedly m.»re prolific than
“middle class t ! til-* dwellers
flats and apartments. where
is barely room for two and |
at all for live six. What !
oone or
i* more, these millionaire families
fur" out remarka »ly strong and !
healthy people, who spend much
time out of doors and are fur re¬
moved from the “gilded degener
at*-s” wliioh are commonly thought
of us inheriting ancestral millions

Instead of becoming extinct,
like so many of the “noble fami
lies’’ in France and England, -the
line of the Ameiican money baron
ns a general rule, broadens
with the years, lb* more frequent¬
ly becomes the comim ancestor
of twenty or thirty robust people
than of a feeble svparite, the last
{ of his house, whose death flings
the vast family estates into cha i
uery or into the hands of trustees.
These are m <re or less comfort
ing facts. It is far better, since
there must be lnigli fortunes . I a .
they should be divided out among
a number of heirs than that sucli
fortltnes should be heaped up from
generatii u to geueiation. The
Vanderbilt millions, for example,
h ive been distributed among at
least a score of households; and
'
they have certainly done
good to the community at
than if they had been entailed
c >ncentrated in the hands of
individu il.
It may be, im e d, ihat. one of
the ways in which i he problem
great fortune will adjust itstlf will
be by the gradual filtering of
crude capital back into the
men heard through (he division
wealth among the various
es of millionaire families.
DR. FLEXNER’S SERUM
What Physicians Say cf His
Cholera Infantum Cure.
A JAPANESE FOUND TEE C-ERM.
Dr. Shisa Said to Hare Dlucovered
the Bacillus Which \cit Bactcrlo
lj-sla I* Claimed to Destroy— Uvm
of IIo*t» ol Cables May Be Saved
by It.
Physicians and bacteriologists an?
mu« ■li interested In the reported disoov
ery of Dr. Simon Flexner of a serum
to cure cholera infantum and epidemic
dysentery, says tlie New York Herald.
If the report be true, they declare the
lives of thousands of children will be
saved every summer.
Tbe germ of cholera Infantum was
discovered several years ago during an
epidemic in Japan by the f: arnous Jap
auese bacteriologist. Dr. SUga. Later
Dr. Flexner. who is professor of patli
oiogy ill the University of Pennsylva¬
nia and who is to be chief of tlieNiocke
feller Institute of Medical Research. !
was sent to Manila to study Philip- j
pine diseases.
There he discovered that Shiga's
germ was very similar to that of epi
demit* dysentery, Returning to this ,
country he worked for more than a I
year w ith several assistants to discover
a serum which would destroy the germs
of these diseases. The report conies
that he has succeeded.
Dr. Louis Fischer, whose recent suc
ccssful experiments with a new anti¬
streptococcus serum for scarlet fever
| have aroused much Interest, said:
“Since Ule * shi -’ 1 1,aci!lus determined
hole 01 ■in of dysentery various j
barter;. Jogi: s have proved the truth j
! of Si serti'Ui. Professor Flex- 1
:1 S
nor, who is an eminent authority, has
follows! the same lines, and it is not
at all > ■p I to loam that he has
isolated a pure culture ot this germ. j
i from which, by inoculation into uni- ;
waD. this healing scrum has been pro
duced.
"The mo: ility of cholera Infantum !
was exceedingly great last summer .
notwithstanding the very cool weather. \
If proved effective, tliis serum will be j
the means of saving thousands of cliil
dren who succumb to this disease.’*
Iir. Edward K. Dunham, a personal
friend of Dr. Flexner. said that, while
the dysentery bacillus is very closely
^ aliatid with the bacillus of Shiga, the
i two are not absolutely identical. lie
! explained also the difference between
J antitoxins and bacteriolysins. Tbe for¬
mer do not kill the germs, but simply
neutral the poison; the latter com
pletely destroy the germs by absorbing
them. Dr. Flexuer’s serum is a bacte
riolysin. in the laboratory tests with
1»«lnials and with the serum alone the
germs have been completely digesteil
I by tlie serum.
Dr. Herman M. Biggs, who is in
j charge of the division of bacteriology
of the health department said that till?
serum is still in the experimental stagi.
He admits that it produces a consider
able degree of immunity in animals,
but added that we shall be better able
to judge of its value next summer,
when it will be used by the health de
( partment in cases of cholera infantum.
Dr. Ilcnry D. Chapin said; “As far
as I know, the germ of cholera iufan
I turn lias never been discovered. It is
i quite possible that several germs may
be responsible for it. The true cholera
Infantum is rather rare in this lati
tudo. A remedy will have to be tried
in a very large series of cases and
through different years before it can be
thoroughly accepted, as the mortality
of such diseases varies **. great deal
from year to year under practically the
same treatment. There studies are
hopeful anti should be encouraged, but
premature conclusion: should not b_
drawn.”
Dr. Flexner consented the o .her night
to talk to a reporter of the New York
American about his discovery, He
said:
"It is net true that the serum 1ms
been used with success on human be
lugs. It is not yet suHicieutly perfect¬
ed for such practice.
"The experimental work that led up
to the present advanced stage of the
quest of this remedy was begun in
working along the line of acute dysen¬
tery . Dr. Shiga, a famous Japanese
bin teriologist. studied tlie epidemic
that attacked *.he Japanese soldiers
du ing the Chinese campaign of lhOJ
with the allied troops, He isolated the
true germ. 1 d*d the same thing iu the
Philippines.
"I found that the germs of epidemic
dysentery and the ordinary ailment
were the same and responded to the
same tests. The next great stop for¬
ward was when Dr. William II. Welch
of Johns Hopkins university aud my¬
self proved that the germ that caused
cholera infantum was identical with
the germ of Shiga, Then 1 began ex
peri mentis to determine the serum. • i

escape such consequences. A dose of a

weak to digest what you eat. That’s all
indigestion is. Kodol digests the food
without the stomach’s aid. Thus the
stomach rests while the body is strength¬
