WHISTLES T00 NOISY.
WOMAN PHILANTHROPIST WOULD
PREVENT UNNECESSARY DIS=
TURBANCE OF SICK.
Mrs. Isaac b. Rice, a Wealthy New
Yerker, States that Half eof the
Yass - Rubbub Raised by Beat
Whistles is (Useless.
Mrs, Isaac L. Rice is one of the
fow rich and influential women of
New York who is constantly looking
after the needs and comfort of those
less fortunate in the awarding eof
the world’s goods than herself,
Mrs. Rice is a philanthropic woman
who has never permitted her wealth
and comfortable surroundings to
blind her to tie want and suffering
around her and has recently been
making a strong effort to have at
least one nuisance abated-—a nuisance
in one sense and a menace (0 many
lives. /
This is the eonstant and, as Mra.
Rice declares, the unnecessary blow-
ing of whistles and signals in New
York harbor. Night and day these
ear splitting whistles and sirens ean
be heard for a distance ef thirteen
and a half miles over the eity and
through careful investigation Mrs
Rice hag found that hundreds of in-
valids in hospitals and mervous wo-
men in homes are driven almost to
distraction. ‘

see if there were not some means by
which the sufferings of the poor ana
invalid people might be relieved.
She first took her case to the au-
thoritieg in New York who told her
any remedial measures were without
their jurisdiction and that she must
make an appeal to Wa hington,
leaving her handsome home in
New York Mrs, Rice went to Washing-
ton and laid the matter before the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
She told the officials of the depart-
ment of the 14,000 sick people In
New York whose suffering was made
Jwo fold by this unmecessary noise;
she told how nervous men and women
were unable to get sleep because of
the continual, plercing shrieks of the
river boats and she told them, too,
how river men themselves had sald
that so many unnecessary signals in-
duced eollisions.
Mrs. Rice's fight was net against
the lawful signals but against the in-
numerable blasts that were sent out
as particular meanings to river men
and thelr erews. Seows coming up
the river would begin blowing two
miles down and never esase until they
reached their wharves. This was a
warning to thelr crews to make ready

A SCARLET FEVER €URE, )
Big Success Claimed for Remedy
by Dr. Luhan, |
A new treatment for gearlet fover
which, he says, has had a long series
of victories and no failures in its strug-
gles with the disease for nearly eight
years, is now offered as a free sclen-
tific contribution to the medical profes
sion by Dr. J. F. C. Luhan, of East
Seventy-second street, N. Y. Noticing
that most deaths from the disease
were the result of paralysis of the
heart, he devised a treatment for the
blood and for the kidneys which pre
vents anaemia~—-or destruction of the
red blood corpuscles—and also Jretyny
kidney complications.
The physician in “speaking of his
treatment, said: oF. A oth
“As to my treatment.” The germs of
scarlet fever diminish the red blood
corpuscles, Anaemia next sets (n
through the poverty of the blood, and
paralysis of the heart follows. My
treatment is curative and eliminative,
In the first four days of the disease,
prescription No. 1 increases the {ron
in the red blood without impairing
the function of the kidneys. The
ingredients of No. 1, and also another
acts on the kidneys in such
y as to cause the red corpuscles
ve heen destroyed by the dis
ease germs to be eliminated from the
blood, Often these dead corpuscles
cause congestion in the interior mech.
ism of the kidneys, which turns into
seage, The extra oxygen in
prevents paralysis of the
hich is due to the presence in
wod of carbon monoxide,
“l always insist that, as soon as evi.
dences of the disease appear, the pat.
fent—usually the patient is a child—
be bathed in warm water, and then
placed in lightest and best ventilated
room of its home, The medicine must
be purchased only of reliable druggists
as it must be perfectly pure and con-
tain no chemical likely to depress the
heart action. It must be kept in an
heart,
the bl
amber eolored bottle, as it is affected
by the light. While there are no pois
ons used in the preparations, the med
fcine should be thrown away after the
patient is well and renewed when

Under Present Twe Years’ Verm,

Looking for Re«Election tham im
baw Making for the Nation,
Bourke Cockran, of New York, who
has introduced a constitutional amend-
ment making the term of office of a
member of the House four years, in-
stead of two years, as at present, be-
lieves that such a change from exist
ing eonditions would be all that is es
sential to establish the Bredomisi ence
of the House over the Senate, if the
House only saw fit to exercise the
power lodged in it by the Constitu
tion. *
Discussing the subject recently, Mr.
Cockran said:
“There is but one change, one
amendment, that, in my judgment,
could possibly increase the conse
quence or capacity of the House to de-
fend itself, and that will be simply the
question of the term of a member. 1
am perfectly willing to admit that, as
at present constituted, where a mem.
ber is chosen for two years, we are
placed in the position that just as
soon as a member takes his seat in
Congress and begins the discharge of
his duties he is at once thrust in the
throes of a contest for reelection

that concerns not the duty at hand,
but the prospect before him in his own

which was intended to the end that
this constitutional system may be safe
and prosperous, the members should
at least have one or two sessions In
which they would be free from the dis-
traction of a campaign for reelection
Apart from that there is no power the
constitution could give that it bas not

They told me of one remarktible
man who came from New York in
1876, and proceeded to make himself a
leader in several different lines of
work, all of which are related to the
prosperity of the whole region rather
than to that of an Individual or of a
ingle community. The story is well
worth tel because it shows that
human resources are quite as import-
ant as the erial advantages which
usually grouped under the head of
patural resources, such as climate,
soll, timber and minerals. A country
may be richly endowed wi th the lat.

them in the best way before it can be
a great country. This fact is fully
