"Jesus found time te minister te the
Itwest, the poorest and the meanest,"
Bishop Israel told the church women.
VWe are doing what He did when we

Didn't Discover It
University of Pennsylvania Medical
Scheel authorities say that Dr. Craw
ford W. Leng, of Georgia, n graduate
of the University of Pennsylvania Med
ical Scheel In 1830. was the discoverer
of ether as an nnesthetlc. Dr. W. D.
Morten recently wns given n pl ce In
New Yerk University's Hall of Fame
en the, assumption that te blm belonged
the credit of the discovery.
Dr. Allen J. Smith, of the Medical
Scheel faculty, declares that all the
evidence shows that Dr. Leng usea
ether as an anesthetic at least two
years before Dr. Morten used the
patented lethean In Bosten.
Ills contention is borne out by the
result of a suit brought against the
United States Government by Dr.
Morten at the time of the Mexican War
for Infringing en his patent rights. It
was proved, says Dr. Smith, that Dr.
Leng s prier claims v. ere valid.
The suggestion has been made that
a medical commission make an In
vestigation that will decide the matter.

In a general way, Director Caven's
plans are similar te these of the Penn
Reduction Ce., which at present col
lects garbage under contract.
Under the existing system the Penn
Reduction Ce. contracts for the re
moval and disposal of all garbage. It
sublets te ether contractors the work
of collecting, supplying te these sub
contractors the necessary tank wagons.

city of Philadelphia will acquire posses

Forty-ninth street and Schuylkill ave

equipment.
Haa Option en Plant
Director Caven holds an. option en
the plant and the pcrchase price agreed
upon is said te be in the neighborhood
of $500,000. The director is net yet
prepared te disclose the exact price,
but In all ether respects he has every
thing in readiness te take complete
charge of the garbage collection and
disposal beginning January 1.
Bids will be opened en November. 23
for the collection and delivery of nil
garbage. It Is understood that the
Penn Reduction Ce.'s sub-contracterj
will offer proposals te de this work
under certain specifications which the
director has formulated.
The city will have two delivery,
points, une at tne plant, forty-ninth
street and Schuylkill avenue, and the
ether at CallewhlU .street wharf,
Schuylkill river. Each contractor for
the collection and delivery of garbage
will be under bend and held strictly re

equipment that will be taken ever from
the Penn Reduction Ce. The bids te be

The city will be divided into thir

"Push" and "Pull"
Until recently the fear of establishing another
perk barrel has kept the United States Govern
ment from buying advertising space for any gen
eral campaigns.
There are some 21,012 publications listed irr
N. W. Ayer & Sen's Directory, and where among
them is one se small and se insignificant as te be
without political "pull"?
Te advertise in them all would stagger even
a national treasury, se it was thought necessary
net te use any.
About a year age 116 of the leading advertis
ing agencies formed a corporation with stock held
by members of the association.
With the co-operation of the newspaper asso
ciations, this corporation was in a position te bid
for and execute government advertising with the
one thought of rendering service te the account
and without care for political expediency.
It is obviously te the interest of the most re
calcitrant publisher that he refrain from "log
rolling" appeals te the politician.
During the war, nearly all government adver
tising was donated either by publishers or private
capital.
New, even our government can advertise in
telligently. Butterick Publisher
