Parents who are blood relations or who have a consumptive tendency, or blood disease of any character, are sure to transmit it to tbeir offspring, and it usually takes the form of Scrofula. Swollen glands, brittle bones, weak eyes, sores and eruptions on the body. Catarrh, and often deformities with hip disease, are the principal ways in which the trouble is manifested. In some cases tlie blood is so filled with, scrofulous genus and poisons that from birth the sufferer is an object of pity because of suffering and a total lack of health, while in other instances favorable surroundings and prudent living hold the disease in check until later in life A deep-seated blood disease like Scrofula can only be reached bv the very best constitutional treatment.

Tsukuga. Their interest is explained by two facts, first, that this ship, with a speed on natural draft of about 22 knots, which is better than any of ,our own crui sers can do. was turned out from a Japa nese shipyard by Japanese workmen, who are just beginning naval construction; yet, according to naval experts, the shin is perfect in every detail. Second, that the Tsukuga was under commission and on the high seas within two years from the date her keel was laid down in Japan. No such speed of construction as this has over been attained in American ship yards, at least where naval work was in volved. and the best British record, name ly. in the case of the Dreadnaught, is only slightly better than that made by the Japanese shipwrights in the building of the Tsukuga.

Sehurman, of Cornell University, denies having stated that “the Rocke feller donation would cease to be tainted money if it should be used for the pur pose of civilizing the South.” This denial is made in a letter to Chan cellor David C. Barrow, of the University of Georgia. Chancellor Barrow and other Georgia educators were the guests of President Sehurman and Cornell University a few days before the alleged statement of President Schudman was made. On his return to Georgia and before any notice had been made in the press of this inci dent. Chancellor Harrow wrote President Sehurman returning his thanks for the hospitable treatment accorded the Georgia party at Cornell. In President Sehnr- man’s reply to this letter, he refers to the alleged interview on the subject of the Rockefeller donation, having evidently a desire to set himself right on the sub ject. In this letter to Chancellor Barrow is the following statement: “Certainly the remarks attributed to me were never made by me, hor was anything further from my thoughts than criticism or dis paragement of Southern civilization. American civilization seems pretty much the same North and South, and for one I should hesitate to sav that it is higher in one part of the country than in an other.
