General William Booth,
Head of Salvation Army,
Dies in London.
London, Aug. 10.—The Rev.
William Booth, general and com
mander-in-chief of the Salvation
Army, died at 10:13 o’clock to
night.
He was born at Nottingham in
1829, which would make him 83
years old.
The veteran Salvation Army
leader was unconscious for 43
hours previcus to his death. The
medical bulletins had not reveal
ed the seriousness of the general’s
condition, which for a week past,
it is now admitted, was hopeless.
Twelve weeks ago General
Booth underwent an operation
for the removal of a cataract in
his left eye. For two days afte:
the operation indications justified
the hope of the general’s recov
ery. Then septic poisoning set
in and from that time with the
exception of occasional rallies the
patient’s health gradually declin
ed. The general recognized that
th 2 end was near and often spoke
of his work as being finished.
Throughout the commander-in
chief’s illness, his son, Bramwell
Booth, chief the staff of the
army, and Mrs, Bramwell Booth
gave their unremitting attentions
to him both night and day, |
The aged evangelist died at his
residence, the Rookstone, Had
leywood, some eight miles from
London, where he has been con
fined to his bed ever since the
operation. Present at his bed
side when the end came were Mr.
and Bramwell Booth and their
daughter and son, Adjutant
Catherine Booth and Sergeant
Bernard Booth; the general’s
youngest daughter, Commission
er Mrs, Booth-Helberd ahd Com
missioner Howard, Colonel Kitch
ing and Dr. Wardlaw Milne.
Public interest now centers in
the question of a successor to the
late commander. Under the con
stitution of the Salvation Army,
the general nominates his suc
cessor. That General Booth did
several years ago, placing the
name in a sealed envelope which
was deposited with the Salvation
Army lawyers with instruetions
that it should not be opened un-!
til after his death.
While nobody knows what name
the envelope encloses, the gener
al belief in the Salvation Army
is that it will prove to be that of
Bramwell Booth, who for thirty
years has been the chief of staff.
Whele General Booth will be
buried has not yet been decided.
While every English member of
the Salvation Army is convinced
that no man was more worthy of
interment in Westminster Abbey,
it is nbt ex d this honor will
be awarded to General Booth by
the Abbey"authorities. It is the
general belief that the command
er-in-chief’s last resting place
will be beside that of his wife,
who twenty-one .years ago was
buried in Abbey Park, Stoke
Newington, :
Praises Corn Bread
. For South’s Good Teeth
Atlanta, Aug. 20.—Corn bread
is responsible for the good
teeth of the Southern youths is
is the opinion of Surgeon Allan
Stuart of the United States navy.
He said here tocay that practi
cally no applicants for enlistment
in the navy from the South were
refused Lecause of bad teeth.
The general prevalence of corn
bread as a diet is held to be re
- sponsible.
‘“The mastication necessary to
eat corn bread exercises the teeth
and keeps them healthy,”” said
the surgeon. - ‘‘Healthy teeth
make for the healthy man. I
made an effort to get corn bread
adopted into the navy diet, but
it takes Southerners to eat corn
bread.”

is the way Miss Alta Abel of West
Baden, Ind., summed up her existence
after having sought in vain for health.
She writes: “I was a complete wreck
—always tired, worn out and nervous.
I had to spend about one-third of my
time in bed. .
- “Vinol, your delicious cod liver and
iron tonic, was recommended, and I
can truly say it has done me more
good than all the medicine I ever took
in my life. That nervous and tired
feeling is all gone. I have gained in
health, flesh and strength, until I feel
like another person.” (We guarantee
this testimonial to be genuine.)
‘What Vinol did for Miss Abel, we
know it will do for every mnervous,
run-down, overworked, tired, thin and
discouraged woman in this vieinity.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the un
derstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.

Use Mail Bags To
Smuggle Bpium
Honolulu, Aug. 21.—Smugglers
of opium, in their efforts to cir
camvent the customs authorities
at American ports, have been us
ing mail bags as carriers of the
contraband drug. Discovery of
this method taken by the smug
glers was made some time ago, but
has been kept a secret while an in
vestigation was under way.
~ On the steamer Manchuria,
which arrived at Honolulu from
the Orient on Aug. 8, a mail bag
was found which, instead of con
taining letters, was stuffed with
$5,000 worth of opium. Kither
mail bags have long been surrep
titiously used for the purpose by
collusion between postal employes
here and at some oriental port or
the bag had been opened aboard
the Manchuria during the voyage,
its mail matter destroyed and the
tins of opium substituted.
