ANNUAL EXAM! NA TION FOK
CUSTODIANS OF SAFETY
Imagine yourself riding ou a
train. Then imagine a little more
aud ask if the engineer is of sound
wind; affected with heart trouble;
color-blindness; a subject of epilespy
paresis or some other sinister mal
ady that may cause him wrongly to
read signals or drop from his seat
at the throttle. He is responsible
for your safety, imagine some more
and place yourself aboard an elec
tric car, steamboat or in a cross
country automobile. Transfer your
imaginings to the wotorman, pilot
or whatever the man in charge of
your safety may be. Is he mentally
and physically sound?
This subject is now before the L'.
S. Public Health Service. Surgeon
lleueral Rupert Blue will soon ask
Congress to frame a law placing the
power to examine annually the cus
todians of public safety in inter
state traffic in the hands of the
Health Service. The danger of
wrecks ou railroads, steamshijis and
electric cars and of automobile is
expected to be materially minimized
if . the plan is carried out. "
A rigid annual examination would
be required. It would include tests
for defective eyesight, defective hear
iug, mental diseases and organic
heart trouble. The holding of year
ly physical tests of every man who
runs a train or steamship or electric
car and who is responsible for the
lives of hundreds of persons each
day will, it is believed tend to elim
inate oue of the principal causes of
wrecks. Officers of the Public
Health Service are of the conviction
that ph>sical unfitness is respon
sible for more wrecks than most
people realize, particularly in the
disasters caused by engineers run
niug heedlessly past signals.
t'olorbliudness is responsible for
more wrecks than have ever been
attributed to this defect, the sur
geons believe. People suffer from
this ailment and little suspect it.
Rtnls, greens aud browns look al
most alike to people who are col
orblind.
Every time tile House banking
and currency committee holds a
meeting. Representative Byrnes of
S. C., a democrat, pats himself on
the back and congratulates himself
that he is no longer a member of
that particular committee. For sev
eral years Byrnes was a Banking
committee senior, ranking we.'l up I
toward the top of the list and in
line prospectively, for the chair-'
manship. Because of the democratic
bickering and internal dissention on j
the committee, Byrnes now says he ;
is glad he retired last March. Why !
Byrnes gave up a senior position o.i |
the Banking committee, which has
charge of currency legislation, is an
open secret. The Banking commit- ,
tee is one of the most important in
the House, at that. Byrnes was in
terested in the work and served
prominently as a member of the
Pujo Money Trust investigation com
mittee. But he is a lawyer, a young
one. ambitious and prominent in
his state. He successfully defended
"Beauty" Beach, charged with as
saulting Airs. Beach who was form
erly Mrs. Havemyer, with a pou
kuife. Figuring that he might nelp
his personal fortunes by remSlning
on the Banking committee during
the publicity given currency legisla
tion, Byrnes believes the Banking
committee will be a "dead one", al
most a political morgue atter the
currency bill is passed in the House.
So he resigned from the committe
in the hope of being of more service
iu other committee work.

least one dreadful disease that scieno
has been able to cure In all its stages
and that la Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh

tarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.

ally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti
tution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure. Send

People with kidney ills want to
be cured. When one suffers the
tortures of tin aching back, relief
is eagerly sought for. There are
oiany remedies today that relieve,
but not permanently. Doan's Kid
ney Pills liavo brought lasting
results to thousands. Here Is proof
of merit from this vicinity:
P. A. Sutton, tent and awning
dealer. Room 6, Capitol Hotel Bldg
Salem, Oregon, says: "1 had kid
ney trouble and rheumatism for ten
years and sometimes 1 was laid up.
Doctors did not help me. Sharp pains
extended through my back and wore
most severe In my kidneys and loins
Often when working, 1 had to give
up. 1 lost weight nud was in very
poor health. Z had headaches, rest
ed but little at night and did not
know what to do. On a friend's ad
vice 1 tried . Doan's Kidney Pills
and to my surprise, they brought a
great improvement In a few days. 1
continued to get better steadily. 1
got more sleep, my appetite improv
ed and the pains gradually, but
surely, left me. After I had used
three boxus of Doan's Kidney Pills,
I was in better health than 1 had
been l'or ten years and not a sign
of kidney complaint remained. The
cure lias been permanent. I gladly
confirm the endorsement I gave
Doan's Kidney Pills several years
I ago."
