Equipment of the road consists of a gasoline motor car bearing in bold letters the inscription: "United States Reclamation Service. Yuma Valley Line." The car carries 70 passengers and makes regular trips daily to the boundary and return from Yuma. A contract has been made with a trans continental railroad for joint use of tracks at Yuma.

VANISHING IDEALS At the beginning of the great war there was one ideal—bright, noble, re | fulgent—which lifted itself like a shin i ing pillar of fire before the eyes of j Americans. We would observe toward (all nations alike the attitude of a j friend, and when the auspicious mo jment came we would endeavor to win |them back to the paths of peace. It jwas an attitude that gave promise of jan opportunity for real service to the I world, and to which our people as a (whole gave most cordial assent. Peace was the dominant thought in all minds. I Then there came a change. In the hour when the traffic in war munitions began, we lost touch with our Ideal. There were thousands who had the clearness of vision to perceive this; and when the traffic took on astound ing proportions and " uge cargoes of I war material were crossing the Atlan- I tic at short intervals, they felt the con viction that nothing but bitterness and ! regret could come of it. | And this is the cloud that obscures | our high ideal. We plead with God for the world's redemption and that the struggle in Europe may be followed bv the dawn of a better day. We syni- I pathize with the nations in their afflie -1Ition; we send missions of mercy and i messengers with words of peace and good-will on their lips. Yet we fan the flame into a greater conflagration. It is a lamentable confession to make that we have lost our ideal. And the saddest part of it 1s that it is true.— THE CHRISTIAN HERALD, I VSVWi".W.*.WA-A%W.S%W. j •, £ J Cough and Cold Syrup i|i Made at Home, louche* Spot.

CLASSIFY CHIEF I CAUSES OF DEATH Heart Disease, Tuberculosis and Pneumonia Found to Lead List | Washington, Jan. 1 4.—According to ia preliminary announcement with ref erence to mortality in 1914, Issued by Director Samuel 1,. Rogers, of the Bu reau of the Census, Department of : Commerce, and compiled by Richard :C. Lappin, chief statistician for vital j statistics, more than 30 per cent, of 'the 898,059 deaths reported for that 'year in the "registration area," which (contained about two-thlrdsof the popu lation of the entire United States, were , due to three causes—heart diseases, i tuberculosis, and pneumonia—and 'more than 60 per cent, to eleven j causes— the three just named, to gether with Bright's disease and neph ritis, cancer, diarrhea and enteritis, ; apoplexy, arterial diseases, diphtheria, i diabetes and typhoid fever. The deaths trom heart diseases (or ganic diseases of the heart and endo carditis) in the registration area in 1914 numbered 99.534. or 150.8 per 100.000 population. The death or mortality rate from this cause shows a, marked increase as compared with j9OO, when it was only 123.1 per 100,- 000. j Tuberculosis in its various forms claimed 96,903 victims in 1914, of I which number 84,366 died from tu berculosis of the lungs (including (.".cute miliary tuberculosis). As a re [sutt of a more general understanding of the laws of health, the Importance of fresh air, etc., due in part, no doubt, Ito the efforts of the various societiej ifor the prevention of tuberculosis, j there has been a most marked and gratifying decrease during recent years in the mortality from this scourge of civilization. Tn only a de cade—from 1904 to 1914—the death rate from tuberculosis in all its forms fell from 200.7 to 146.S per 100,000, the decline being continuous from year to year. This is a drop of more than 25 per cent. Prior to 1904 the rate had fluctuated, starting at 201.9 In 1900. Kven yet. however, tubercu losis has the gruesome distinction of causing more deaths annually than • any other form of bodily illness except heart diseases, and over 40 per cent, more than all external causes—acci dents, homicides, and suicides com bined. Pneumonia Rate Pneumonia (including broncho pneumonia) was responsible for 83,- 804 deaths in the registration area in 1914, or 127 per 100,000 —the low est rate on record. The mortality rate from this disease, like that from tu berculosis, has shown a marked de cline since 1900, when it was 130.5 per 1 00.000. Its fluctuations from year to year, however, have been pronounced, whereas the decline in the rate for tuberculosis has been nearly continu ous. The only remaining death rate high er than 100 per 100,000 in 1914 was that for Bright's disease and acute nephritis, 102.4. The total number of deaths due to these maladies in 19 14 was 67,545, more than nine-tenths of which were caused by Bright's disease and the remainder by acute nephritis. The mortality from these causes in creased from 89 per 100.000 in 1900 to 103.4 in 1905, since which year it has fluctuated somewhat. Next in order of dealiness come can cer and other malignant tumors, which rilled 52,420 graves in 1914. Of these deaths, 19,889, or almost 38 per cent, resulted from cancers of the stomach and liver. The death rate from can cer has risen from 63 per 100,000 in ISOO to 79.4 in 1914. The increase has been almost continuous, there having been but two years—l9o6 and 1911— which showed a decline as compared with the years immediately preceding. It is possible that at least a part of this indicated increase is due to more accute diagnoses and greater care on the part of physicians in making re port.". to registration officials. Diarrhea and enteritis caused 52,- 407 deaths in 1914, or 7 9.4 per 100.- 000. This rate shows a marked fall ing off as compared with the rate for the preceding year, 90.2, and very pro nounced decline as compared with that for 1900, which was 133.2. Near ly live-sixths of the total number of deaths charged to these causes in 1914 were of infants under 2 years of age. Apoplexy Apoplexy was the cause of 51,272 deaths, or 77.7 per 100,000. The rate from this malady has increased grad ually, with occasional slight declines, since 1900, when it stood at 67.5. Arterial diseases of various kinds— atheroma, aneurism, etc. —caused 15,- 04 4 deaths, or 22.8 per 100,000, in the registration area. No epidemic disease produced a death rate as high as 18 per 100.000 in 1914. The fatal cases of diphtheria and croup—which arc classed to gether in the statistics, but practically all of which are of diphtheria—num bered 11,786, or 17.S per 100,000, in that year, the rate having fallen from 43.3 in 1900. This decline of nearly 59 per cent, is relatively greater than that shown by any other important cause of death. The rate has not fallen continuously, but has fluctuated somewhat from year to year. Diabetes was the cause of 10.G66 deaths, or 16.2 per 100,000. The rate from this disease has risen almost continuously from year to year since 1900, when It was 9.7 per 100,000. The mortality rate from typhoid fever has shown a most gratifying de cline since 1900, having decreased from 35.9 per 100,000 in that year to 15.4 in 1914. or by 57 per cent. This decline has been almost as great, rel atively, as that for diphtheria, and has been greater than that for any other principal cause of death. The total number of deaths due to typhoid fever in 1914 was 10.185. The marked decrease in the mortality from this disease gives emphatic testimony to the effectiveness of present-day meth ods, not only of cure but of preven tion. The efficacy of improved water supply and sewerage systems, of the campaign against the fly, and of other sanitary precautions is strikingly shown by the. reduction of the typhoid mortality rate to the extent of more than five-ninths in 14 years. Whooping; Cough. Measles and Scar let Fever The principal epidemic maladies of childhood —whooping cough, measles, and scarlet fever—were together re sponsible for no fewer than 15,617 deaths of both adults and children, or 23.7 per 100/000, in the registration area in 1914, the rates for the three diseases separately being 10.3, 6.8 and 6.6, respectively. In 1913 measles caused a greater mortality than either of the other diseases, but in 1914 whooping cough had first place. In every year since and including 1910, as well as in several preceding years, measles has caused a greater number of dcathß than the much more dread ed scarlet fever. The mortality rates for all three of these diseases fluctu ate greatly from year to year. The rates for -measles and scarlet fever in 1914 were the lowest in 15 years, while that for whooping cough was consid erably above the lowest recorded rate tor this disease, 6.5 in 1904, although far below the highest, io.B In 1903. Railway and Street Car Accidents Deaths due to railway accidents and big, important thing to fighting soldiers. A sick soldier cannot work with vigor any more than you can work with energy when you are weak, tired, almost sick. One efficient warring government is giving each soldier a vial of cod liver oil every day because far-reaching experi ments show how wonderfully it increases the calories of human energy and gives them strength to prevent winter sickness. Is this not convincing proof that you need it at this season to enliven your blood to prevent sickness? Cod liver oil is scarce and high-priced this season and many inferior grades may be offered. But remember that SCOTT'S is the one EMULSION which guarantees pure cod liver oil—free from alcohol and drugs. If you are subject to colds, throat or lung troubles; if you are easily tired, run-down or have thin blood, you should take Scott's Emulsion at once. If your children are back ward in growth, frail or anaemic, nothing will do them so much good as Scott's Emulsion, and for girls and women in home or business it is nature's great strength-builder. Scott's is not a "secret" medicine. It is a rich blood food and a pure tonic; it contains nothing harmful and is pleasant to take. It is prescribed by physicians and liberally fused in hospitals and private schools. One bottle may prevent a sickness. ■' ' n At any drug store —Start it to-day. 1 Imitations are sometimes offered but this Trade-Mark has stood for supreme quality for the past forty years.

This number includes fatalities resulting from collisions between rail way trains and vehicles at grade crossings. Tlie death rate from rail way accidents and injuries is the low est on record and shows a most mark ed and gratifying' decline as compared with the rate for 1913, which was 13 per 100,000, and a still more pronounc ed drop from the average for the five year period 1906-1910, which was 15 per 100,000. Deaths resulting from street car ac cidents and injuries numbered 1,6 73, or 2.5 per 100,000. Tliia rate, like that for railway fatalities, is the lowest on record and shows a material falling off as compared with 1913, when it was 3.2, and as compared with the aver age for the five-year period 1906-1910, which was 3.7.

KNOX ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY [Continued From First Page.] him. The Governor's statement con tained some interesting bits of politi cal history. Governor's Statement The Governor said the former Sec retary of State had been told spe cifically on December 17 last, that the Chief Executive and his friends were for Mr. Knox. Mr. Knox will en ter the primaries in May. When asked what he knew of the Knox boom, the Governor said: "Early in December last, a t group of gentlemen interested in Pennsyl vania and anxious to have her repre sented worthily in the United States Senate, concurred in the judgment that ex-Senator Knox .would be a fit ting candidate, worthy TO represent this great Commonwealth in its Na tional Senate. Among the gentlemen who were conversant with the situa tion and participated in its con clusions were Mayor-elect Smith, At torney General Brown, Commissioner Ainey, Commissioner Magee, Con- • gressmen Griest, Vare and Kiess, and I myself." In answer to the question. "Did i Senator Knox know of this?" the Governor said: "This information was conveyed to Mr. Knox on December 17 with the assurance that he, by reason of his honorable career at Washington and his legal training, especially was fit ted in this crisis to serve the State in the National Senate." Knox Ideal Candidate "Were you personally in favor of the candidacy?" he then was asked. "It was my opinion then and is now that Mr. Knox would represent our people worthily at a time when inter national treaties, a protective tariff, a merchant marine and other great national issues are likely to arise." "Is it true that you and Senator Knox discussed this last Saturday evening?" "Yes, at the Terrapin Club dinner. I gave Mr. Knox my personal assur ance of sympathy and support when he courteously advised me that he practically had decided to become a candidate. His call here yesterday was a friendly one, deferred to this time owing to the fact that both of us are busy men. The interview was social, pleasant and gave us an op portunity to renew old-time friend ship." "Do you think he will be a popular candidate?" "Tt Is my belief that the people of Pennsylvania will find in Mr. Knox a most capable and worthy Senator, and I shall co-operate gladly with mv friends in securing his nomina tion and election." Secretary of the Commonwealth Cyrus E. Woods, who was in confer ence with the Governor when he re ceived the newspapermen, said that he cordially concurred in all that the Governor had said about Mr. Knox, who had been his friend of many years' standing. Statement of Mr, Knox Patterson, Sterret and Miller, of Pittsburgh, Mr. Knox's attorneys, gave out the following statement last night: "I appreciate the generous offer of support tendered me by Mr. Bab cock in his statement announcing his intention not to become a can didate for the United States Senate. I would not be candid did 1 not say that it is my intention, within the period provided by law, to file the necessary papers announcing my candidacy to succeed United States Senator George T. Oliver, who vol untarily has announced his retire ment at the end of eight years of his faithful and efficient service. I have been persuaded to this course by prominent men throughout the Stale, representing all shades of supposed difference in tne party councils, but all believing in the fundamental principles of the Re publican party.'* The leaders unite in saying that Knox will be the only candidate out side of the Democratic party. Many Washington party leaders, including ex-Senator William Flinn, are for Knox. A Notable Figure Philander Chase Knox is one of the most conspicuous figures in official life in Pennsylvania. As a lawyer with large practice and oliices in Pittsburgh, as Attorney General under Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt, as Secretary of State under President Taft. as United States senator appointed by Governor Penny packer in June, 1904, to succeed Matthew Stanley Quay, and then elected to the same office by the Legislature, he made a remarkable public record. Senator Knox is about. 62 years old. His father was a bank cashier in the little Pennsylvania town of Browns ville. At the age of 19 the son was graduated at Mount Union College, Alliance, Ohio. While there he be came acquainted with Major McKin ley, prosecuting attorney of Stark I county. Young Knox entered a bank j after he left college and earned money I enough to secure his legal training. 4--FOUR—4 .# Specials for Saturday ™ 15 Skirts, value $3.50; Saturday . .94<* $5.00 Skirts $2.98 • $3.50 up to $5.00 Waists s.l .98 Choice of any $15.00 to $20.00 Coat for $7.50 PRICED STORE ") His early ambition bad been to become a lawyer, and he was admitted to the bar in Pittsburgh in 1875. The next year lie became assistant United States district attorney, an officw he held for a year. After resigning he entered in partnership with James 11. Reed, and they soon had a large | and lucrative practice. One of the j clients of the tirm was the Carnegie Steel Company. When Major McKinloy became President he asked Mr. Knox lo serve as Attorney General, but the offer was ! declined. But when Attorney General I Griggs resigned, in 1001, Mr. Knox succeeded him in President McKinley's (Cabinet. He remained in thr- oilice | under President Roosevelt until Gov - ernor Pennypacker appointed him sen ator, to succeed M. S. Quay, in June, 1904. While In the Attorney General's office Mr. Knox instituted the famous "merger" suit against the Northern I Securities Company, which was carried to a successful issue. In the Senate he gave close attention to many matters of importance. Senator Knox has i made many valuable public addresses. He was talked of as a possible candi date for the presidency in iso" and had the backing of the potential Re | publican leaders of Pennsylvania.
