TKi! WHERYAMIAT OF LUNGAR I YAM
(BV ALFRED L. DONALDSON.)
Wake- For the tun of science puts to flight
The utar bactUi from th<- field of night,
And, driving them Irorn cloistered browsing, strikes
Pulmonic turrets with fresh air and light.
lief ore the phantom of dark morning died,
Motbougbt a voice within rny conscience cried.
When all the rest are In flielr chair,; without
Why nods this drowsy sitterout Inside?"
And, as the wind blew those who stood before
The s«n potch shouted 'Open quick the door! ,
We lose sweet, Hodenbuj moments here
And, once departed, they return no more.”
Whether at Saranae or liloomlngdale,
Whether the milk he sweet or slightly stale,
The price of < ; gs keeps rising day by day.
Oh! If we could but lake the cure by mall!
Think, In this outdoor sanatorium
Whose portals open wide to those who come,
How sitter after sitter on one ehair
Sits out his destined hours—and then goes "hum.”
Myself for bronchial trouble did frequent
My doctor friend, and heard great argument
About It and about: until at last
Up to the Adirondack* 1 wag sent.
And then the seed of wisdom did I lay,
Taking the cure by night as well as day;
Hut this was all the harvest that. I reaped—
I came for weeks, for years I have to stay.
Why, If a aoul can get his coat Inside,
And for a dime with .lamshyd Hiitrhin'a ride
Were’t not u shame -were'!, not a shame for him
Upon the porch with oouslns to abide?
Tltjs is a t«nt where takes his one day’s rest
A sitter to the realm of health addrest;
The alt ter vacates and lip tousley Fred
Smiles, and prepares it for another guest.
Strange, is It not? that of (he myriads who
llefore us pass’d, as cures, these portals through.
Each one returns to tell us of the road
That leads them back to Saranac anew.
And that perverted howl they eall the aky,
Whereunder, eonnsklu- coop’d, we live and sigh,
Lift not your hands to It for help for it
Sends rains when you want snow I wonder why?
Ah, friend! have you not felt the wild desire *
To call your mouth-thermometer a liar?
Would we could shatter it to bits and then
Heroould It so It nevfr could go higher.
A hook of hygienics on the cow,
A jug of milk, an uncooked egg and fhoti
Reside mo coughing In the wilderness -
Oh! Wilderness were paradise enow*

Dr. Routzahn, Director of
the Campaign, will Make
Public Address at First
Christian Chnroh.
CAMPAIGN WILL
BECOME ENERGETIC
Long Program Has Been
Manped out and Workers
Are! Prepared to Cover
Much Ground During the
Neat Ten Days.
The first big gun of the anti-Tu
bereuloeis campaign will he fired to
, night at the First Christian church,
i when Dr. E. U. Routzahn, director
■of the campaign, will address tie
j audience which will gather to hear
j Dr. Routzahn for the first time. It
Is expected that a large gathering
will be present.
Great Interest has been manifested
In the campaign which Dr. Routzahn
is leading In Aucusta, and In the
! opening of the exhibit which will take
j place Tuesday night. There Is no
i charge to the lecture at the Christian
church tonight, nor for that matter
I to any of the lectures and exhibits.
Everybody is invited. The lecture
begins at 8:30 o'clock. Rev. Howard
T Oree, the pastor, will give way to
Dr. Routzahn In order that the people
may hear him. Dr. Routzahn is a
pleasing speaker arid Is an expert on
the mast interesting subject he will
discuss. It will pay all to go and
hour him.
NO DEAD
AFFAIR.
When open this week the Tubecu
losis exhibition will he any thing but
a “dead” and melancholy affair.
There will he something doing every
hour from ten In the morning to ten
al night. Dependent upon tbi ox
tent of patronage tlie stereoptlcori
will he used at frequent Intervals, ev
ery hour If the audiences should jus
tlfy. No other educational effort in
this country has so fully utilized the
stereopticon as is done in this anti-
Tuberculosis campaigning. The idea
is to give to every one who visits ttv
exhibition a fair perspective of the
subject. The understanding is, ac
cording to Director Routzahn, "that
practically all that folks think they
know about tuberculosis or consump-
I tlon Is all wrong. It Is not a simple
I matter to over turn the trndltkmay
1 errors of centuries, and that is pre
j finely what we attempt to do. Tuber
culosis is not inherblted. It is emi
Inettly curable. It Is Infectious and
, communicable, but not In the fashion
! most folks aro apt to fear its ap
proach. And so the chapters of un
usual things continue. In a short
half hour we try to explain, illtfdrate.
and convince of the new order of
i things. So we must use the most
j graphic and appealing methods. The
stereopticon is supplemented by the
■rrganized verbal demonstrations of
I Mr. Hunt who has recently had a
unique experlVtee In demonstration at
the great Washington, New York and

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
COUNTRY WATCHES
TIE TIFF BILL
Business Men Want Bill
Hurried, While Many
Others Want it Fixed
Right Before it is Closed.
WASHINGTON—When the tariff bill
wiiH taken up by the senate Saturday
i\ nd she Bection placing a duty of two
and one eighth cents per pound on pig
Ua4 was read, Ben a tor Bristow arose to
'•ppoee the lncreane from one and one
half cent a pound art provided in the
house hill saying the increased rate
would make it equal to the rate of the
Ulngley bill. Mr. Bristow read from
i a riff hearings held by the ways and
means committee to show' that It was
there contended that this increase if
made would necesaltate an increase of
duties on oth* r ingredients that are
. ed in making paint. He argued that
the house had been judicious in its ac
i ions. \ /
The reading of the testimony of Mr.
Brush, of the American ttmettlng and
Refining company provoked colloquies
among senators, during which senators
Smoot and Smith of Michigan, suggest
< d that the wifness was influenced by
his Mexican interests and by the inter
s• sth of his general business so that his
t stlmony should not be taken as sadfif-'
Utotory. Saying he could not sit still
and hear these statements in silence
Senator Root declared -that he knew Mr.
Brush, had every confidence in anything
h‘- should say.
Mr. Burkett condemned the method by
which the committee on finance had pre
pared Tts tariff bill without having
hearings.
Senators Rushed.
“Business men, * he said, "have had
to come here chasing senators up and
down these corridors in an effort to get
.. hearing. The country is watching this
hill. Senators may think the people are
not watching it. But you cannot fool
t hem on the le schedules —on lumber,
wire, nails, steel and Iron.
“I appreciate the fact that business in
ti rests are in a hurry to have this leg
i dflitlon but there are a whole
lot of people who are more interested in
having this bill made right than in hav
ing It finished in a hurry, and I for one,
;un willing to stay here all summer to
make it absolutely right.’
Replying to Mr. Burkett, Mr. Aldrich
said with great earnestness that if the
innate shpuld stay; in session until every
senator should understand every sched
ule in the bill they would not only bo
lior® all summer, but for ten years.
Mr. C'lay took exception to a state
ment by Mr. RiTVlch to the effect that
he had given predominance to state
ments by the lead producers as to their
needs for a duty on lead and declared
that If this course was pursued the re
finers of sugar would name the rate to
ho fixed on that product and other pro
ducers would do likewise to the exclu
sion of the consumer.
Favors Americans.
Mr. Aldrich said ho had only said that
when the testimony of American pro
ducers and the Importers of goods from
foreign countries conflicted he took the
testimony of the American producers and
that he said he proposed to continue to
do.
Referring to a sta ement recently made
by Mr. Bacon, Mr. Lodge said that what
made senators on the republican side
speakers or others assisting: will un
dertake to throw all possible ligrht
upon the doubtful points. We would
urge that verbal or written questions
l»o submitted by all who wish to know
more about any phase of tuberculosis
and the campaign against the dread
ed dlaea^o
The exhibits to bo shown to the
public this woek aro not wildly spec
tacular, we aro told, but they are of
wide interest to all who are inter
ested in the curious or the wonderful,
as well as those who care to preserve
health and increase the useful period
of life. Maps, charts, and diagrams
of simple, interesting nature tell
many things which have to do with
the spread of the diease and its ex
tent among such groups as the ne
groes, the Chinese and other colored
races in America, including the In
j dians.
THE WORLD
CAMPAIGN.
The world campaign will he shown,
and the methods followed In the In
ternational warfare will be made
clear. All civilized lands arc en
listed in the battle and all peoples are
opposing the "great Captain of
Death " Companion rooms will show
what the visiting nurse finds right
here in Augusta, and what happens
as her Influence Is exerted Models
of buildings and tents appeal to young
and old because of their novelty, and
illustrate how sick folks live and
sleep in the open all through the year
in many states, both north and south.
You are told not to spit, and you are
Instructed how to brush vour teeth.
You learn that open air life tends to
Immunize one against the disease and
all forms of sane living are advo
cated But fads are conspicuously
absent. The faddist will find little
comfort in the exhibition notwlth
s anding the many departures from
revered legends as to health and the
care of the body.
That it Is of Interest is "war
rant’s!" by the attendance of nearly
a million of visitors in various parts
of the country, and another million
In New York city alone last winter
to the special exhibition shown at
that time-
iaugft when the revenue aspect of duties
was dlscusb«a by some members of the
minority was “the regularity with which
protective duties become revenue duties
whop they orose the borders of certain
states.'
“Wobcdy ever pledged me," he said,
“to revise the tariff downward or ti re
view it upward. What we are pledged
to is a revision and I suppose we are
here to revise it in view of interests of
the whole country. If it is wise to re
duce rates than reduce them; if it is
wiser to give greater protection we
should do that and if it is wise to keep
them as th4y are, then that should be
done. That has been the attitude of
the committee on finance and without
professing infallibility, we have adopt*
ed that line of action."
Shortly after 4 o'clock Senator Aid
rich, saying it was evident thit a vote
on the lead schedule should not be taken
.Saturday night suggested that the sen
ate adjourn.
Bacon Defends Smith.
Before that action was taken Mr.
Bacon, in reply to a statement made by
Mr. Lodge referred to the great cotton
raising Industry of the South which he
said could not share the benefit of the
protective tariff. / He declared that *he
tariff put upon corn was as useless as
would be tariff on cotton. The sec
tion from which the senator from Mas
sachusetts, came he said, had grown,
rich by the operation of that law in
which the South had not shared.
In passionate language Mr. Bacon re
counted the events connected with the
Civil war and denounced the suggestion
that the South had in any way benefltted
by a system of taxation by which “one
section is despoiled for the beni*« of
or that its failure to provide
it# necessities during the war was the
result of not having such a system. In
fevid Language Mr. Bacon spoke against
the protective tariff and of its effect in
placing an additional taxation upon tfTe
people.

President Hadley is never without
a ready and witty remark. Yale’s
Sunday services are addressed by
prominent clergymen of many denom
inations and from many cities. When
visiting preachers occasionally
ask President Hadley how long they
shall speak he invariably replies:
“There is no limit, sir. upon the time
you may preach; but there is a Yale
tradition that no souls are saved af
ter the first 20 minutes.” —Bohemian.
