Before a massed crowd Albert Sevlgny, tho brilliant young member for Dorchester, made it plain that tbe French-Canadians realized the seriousness of the present menace to the Empire ln general and to Canada 1ft particular, and were standing shoulder to shoulder with their fellow citizens of other races. He recalled how Franco had gone down before the arms of Germany In 1870. The great question which French-Canadians had been asking during the past few days, he Bald, had been, "What will England do?" Had France been left alone, her arms might not have met with fortune. Now they had received the hap. py news that the entente cordialc was no idle word. England had arisen to the occasion. Whatever the result might he, they would go Into the war with a united front, and he wns sure that providence would smile upon them In this struggle ot" giants. Exult in War Declaration.

There Ib trouble, however. Then men of this age time themselves too much, and I'hey are too cautious. I blame thut to the fact that the distance hus been Cut down. When there were finish fights it was a case uC going jn to win the best way possible. Nowadays they time themselves, too much and* naturally lose punching jjower. Take men like Attell and McFiirland, They ure thinking of winning the decision rather than of beating the other fellow decisively. "In one way I blame the seconds. They see a fighter winning away off by himself, and then holler t(, htm to be -careful and take his time. That is the, very place, In my Judgment, for him to finish the other fellow off. "Taking the various classes, it can't be.said that the present heavyweight division compares with some or the old timers. However, Jack Johnson ia to be considered a modern-day fighter, and whon he was at his best I think he would have compared favorably with Fitzsimmohs, Corhett, Jeffries or any of the best of them*. I believe Gunboat Smith cap be made as good . fighter us FltzBimmong was. I consider that he is every bit us good a hitter, but he needs to be taught chiefly to time hla blows and to do less swinging and use mtife short- straight punches. "The mlddlewelghts seem to . have fallen off, but if you figure Keicbel you must admit that-he would rank nicely with Jack Dempsey and a lot of the mlddlewelghts. The only mld*- dlewcight that I can feel certain would Have beaten Ketchel was Johnny Her- get (Young Mitchell.) Ketche] would never have. shifted with Young Mitchell und been successful. And for all that, Ketchel stood out as a wonderful man of his class. "We have no welterweights now to ■peak of, and certainly there Is no man Who would compare with Joe Wolcott; but that Is probably because a lot of legitimate welters are trying to force themselves Into the lightweight division, j "So far as the lightweights arc concerned, I figure the class is every .bit aa good. Ritchie, with perhaps a few more fights, will he every bit as good'as Joe Gans, who seems to be a sort of standard by which to measure, Tho San Francisco boy Is game to the core, and he hits just as bard as the Baltimore champion. He Is cool and collected In the ring, and he reminds mis' much of Herget, because both of them 'have shown that they are slow to'start, but fast finishers. "Abe Attell was Just on about a par wltH George Dljton, and' Johnny Kil- bane seems to be coming along*, Im* **provlng alt the time, so there is no reason why this age should feel ashamed of the holders of the feather- weight title." Griffin'also argues that most of the fighters of the present do not take sufficient time in which to train. He calls to mind that the olden fighters would work from five to six. weeks, while the chap of today doesn't wnni to spend more than two weeks at the outside in getting ready for a big contest- At the samo time, Jim admits . that (here is less tendency on the pari of the modem boxers to dissipate, and that paturally they need less of the strenuous training. Griffin himself, a* has been intimated, Is no spring chick along pugl- ■/ llstlb lines. Twenty years ago, when j the California A. C. was the last word - ln boxing, Griffin was enlisted In the rank's pf the 130-pounders in the four- . round shows. He followed thut for yea> and a half, and later was a referee well known to the frequenter of the Alpine, Columbia and Hayes Valley Athletic cluba. For a time he dropped out as an ' active principal in boxing und' it was 'not until August, 1912, that he was drafted by Jim Coffroth to referee the second Attell-Murphy bout. In that one session Griffin made a name for himself. When he disqualified Ad ."Wolgast and awarded the lightweight championship to Willie Ritchie, Jim demonstrated thnt he Is game enough to use his own judgment, and he has been much In demand ever since that ; time/ "Rafereeing Isn't such a hard'Job* commented the red-headed- arbitrator, "but It requires a cool head. I never try to keep any tab round for round. but I do size the situation up in my heud generally. I never was av believer in allowing a boxer to stall and come fast the last two or three rounds to gain a decision, Tho man who Is aggrara-lve air the time'has the right ■ ot way, although, of course, damaging punches are to ibe taken Into consideration, - "The crowd and the shouting never worry me. Of course, I can't help but ■hear the noise and the talk, but I ■'don't allow It to blag my judgment.

And that: sort of thing doesn't sway me worth; a cent." : j'.- JOHNSON LUCKY IN COMING ALONG WHEN PURSES ARE BIG Dame fortune Is not only a fickle and flirtatious old girl, but she isn't at all particular on whom, she smiles. Witness the, case of her outrageous smirking at Jack Johnson, a vain, ignorant, immoral, negro, who was. 12 years ago a leyee roustabout at Galveston. For all that he has done for the world since, Johnson might well have remained one; yet fortune picked him out, and here he-is today on the highway to a second accumulation of 'wealth. It's small wonder that men seek fortune in tbo prize ring today, despite all the drawbacks connected with the game. One glance at the case of John Arthur Johnson, and they sidestep the cotton bales and the harvest fields and run for the training camp. Johnson's case is particularly •alluring. In 1908 up to the month of December, Jack was just a "busted" fourth rate black fighter, with a strong inclination to whiskey and a large disinclination to train. 'He had a tremendous constitution and a gigantic frame; also he had a hunch that he was master of all such "cheese" champions as Tommy Burns, who put one over on old Marvin Hart and grabbed the championship. Johnson did whip Burns, as many another- heavyweight then or now could hnve done. He won but $5,000 on that fight, and a little money in side bets. He also picked up the title and that was the wedge that en* altled him to break into a game that had heen closed to him by race barriers—the money-making game. Johnson has not fought much since winning the title, contenting himself with theatrical engagements and "sure thing" Tights. 'But he hoe made world of money. In six years Johnson has taken. In over -$300,000 and his recent victory over Moran promises to net him $100,000 more. Here is a rough estimate of Johnson's receipts from fights, beginning with his title victory: . Opponent. Tommy Burns $ 5,000 Victor M-cLachlen 5,000 Jack O'Brien 5,000 Tony Ross 5,000 Al Kaufman 5,000 Stanley Ketchel 12,000 James J.. Jeffries - 120,000 Jim Flynn 30,000 Jim Johnson 5,000 Stage contracts, 5 years 100.000 Frank Morah 35,000 Total $327,000 All this within a space of five years. From a hand-to-mouth existence John* son has been shunted into a six-cylinder living gait, and no oil king has lavished money oh his needs nnd vices like Johnson. He hns spent much of the fortune that was left him by predatory legal talent, but is again on the highway to wealth. Besides his winnings on the Moran fight Johnson on July 1 signed to fight Sam Langford for an assured Bum of $30,000, win, lose or draw. The money fn gold is already on deposit. His theatrical contracts, dependent on his victory over Moran, but now made certain, will net him as much more. In addition there is every likelihood that he will still be .champion after his bout with Sam Langford, despite the fact that his brother in color is some scrapper and a dangerous one. Should he win or draw with Langford, Johnson will still have to confront Gunboat Smith and Georges Carpentler, both white men and each worth a $20,000 purse. Followers of the fight world* have nursed the opinion that San Langford Ib about the only boxer at present fit to give Johnson a real run for his money. But the chance Is still an outside one. For 'f Johnson has slipped hack, he is still good enough to put up 20 rounds of defensive milling without so much puffing. This much was proven at Paris. It's a grave question if Sam Langford himself has not "slipped" quite as far as has Johnson. Sam has been squeezing by the referee's notice with but a scant margin, lit fact, (-uoboul Smith won a decision over Langford. Sam has been entering the ring weighing about 210 pounds, when his normal figure Is 185, or not over 190. Because of this, many have declared "Tham" a dead one. But it may he that "reports of his death,have heen greatly exaggerated." Sam will train for a real fight, revolting as work is to his nature. And when in* shape he's another fighter entirely. But even though he does hla little best to come Into the ring in condition; Johnson's bulk, stamina and de fenslve skill are such that it is hard to believe Sam can whip bimv desperate fighter as the "tar baby" Is known to be.

The. die has been cast. Germany has declared war against Great Britain, to which Britain has replied in kind. With Great Britain, Russia, Germany and Servia on the one side and Germany and Austria on the other the struggle should be the most terrible in tbe world's history and, let tt be hoped, the most decisive, that is. that it may put an end for all time to the race In armament which nas for yenrs bled Europe white. Now that the struggle has commenced Canada's duty is clear nnd she will discharge it to the letter. Her resources to the laBt limit In men and money are at the Empire's com mand. Anything that the government at Ottawa may" do to assist the mother country will have the general support of the people of Canada, irrespective of politics or any other consideration. KOOTENAY AND BOUNDARY WIL'. DO ITS PART. The members of the British naval reserve and reserve army men who arQ leaving this district today and during the next few days to put their services at tho disposal of the empire carry with them the very best wishes of the people of Kootenny and the Boundary as a whole. That they will acquit themselves with honor there need be no question. And when the general call to arms comes, as it will within the next fen- days, Kootenay and Boundary can be depended upon to do its part. ALL CANADIANS. In this time of war between Great Britain and Germany and Austria, it ls not out of place to say a word In behalf of tbe large number of pecpl of German and Austrian birth who have come to make Canada thair horn- and who ar(. contributing their lull share to the development of the coun* try. It Is to be hoped that nowhero in Canada will any of these people be made to suffer on account of the coun. try of their birth. And lt is further to be hoped that none of tbe Germans and Austrlans In Canada will do anything to arouse hostility toward them. hospital. The board already has f 10,000 ln hand for this purpose, while the government has offered dollar for dollar of the amount raised locally. The passing of the bylaw being submitted today would put the hospital hoard In posseasion of approximately $80,000, with which to erect a hospital worthy of Nelson and the district of which it is,the Immediate centre. The passing of the bylaw will not compel the city to issue the debentures at the present time If this Ib not found advisable. But this is no reason why the bylaw should not he passed so that construction of a new hospital can be proceeded with at the earliest possible date, One feature In regard to the bylaw which Is worthy of special attention Is the fact that the Interest and principal are guaranteed by the hospital board. The passing of the bylaw involves no real liability on the people of Nelson. Go out and vote for the bylaw today so that at the earliest possible moment Nelson may have a new hospital In keeping with the work which such an institution Is called upon to perform.

God 'bless and -protect you all." (By Dally News Leased Wire.) BERLIN, Aug, 4.—That he had fought against war until Germany's honor demanded that she strike against "Russian duplicity" was declared to the reichstag today by Kaiser 'Wllheim. He opened the session of the German parliament at 1 o'clock. An extraordinary departure waa tbe fact that the members met In the white room of the palace Instead of the reichstag building. The kaiser made a speech standing In front of the .throne. Before the; kaiser delivered his address the for* j respondence between Germany* and! Russia was read to the members. "The present situation arose, not from temporary conflicts or International or diplomatic combinations, but as the result of ill will existing for years against the strength and prosperity of the German empire," said j the kaiser, • "We are not pUBhed on by the desire of conquest. We are moved by the unbending desire to secure for ourselves and those coming after us I the place in which God has put us. "My government, above all :ny chancellor, tried until the last moment to prevent the worBt and now we can take up our defence. With clear conscience and clean hands we grasp the sword. To the peoples and races of the German empire my appeal goes forth to stand together fraternally with our allies in defence of that which we have created in peaceful work. "Following the example of our forefathers, firm and faithful, earnest and chivalrous, humble before our God and ready to fight when face to face with the. enemy, let us confide ourselves to the everlasting Almighty, who will strengthen our defence and conduct to a good end." He added: "Gentlemen, you have read what I said to my people the other day from the balcony of my castle. I repeat it now, that I no longer know any parties. I know only Germans and I believe that you are firmly resolved without distinction of party to stand by my side through danger and death. I call upon the leaders of the different parties In this house to come forward and lay their bands in mine as a pledge." The members had before them the "white hook," containing every message exchanged between Russia and Germany before the declaration ol war. The correspondence showed al the first bint of an Austro Servian embroglio Emperor William communicated with Russia offering his services In an effort to bring about an amicable adjustment of thut dispute. It Indicated that the German "war lord" did not move until he was overwhelmingly convinced that Russia was preparing to strike. Britain Worked for Peace. The correspondence detailing the events made public in the white book Bhowed that up to the last Germany had England's participation in at tempts to bring St. Petersburg and Vienna Into accord. TOe direct charge was made that the Russian mlnistei of war by "sneaking" and by duplicity prevented the culmination of these efforts, - "■ One personal message from the kaiser to the czar called the attention of the' Russian emperor to Austria's repeated assurances that she would not seek Servian territory and merely sought punishment of those responsible tor the assassination of Francis Ferdinand and his wife. It also stated that no attempts had been made to organize Germany's fighting units, in the midst of nego tltlons, however, Russia began mobilizing, troops, first against Austria and then against Germany. The kaiser .pointed out In a message transmitted .through diplomatic channels that the secret movement menaced the peace of the two countries. Tbere was an evasive reply and that Bame day Germany, It says, was completely disillusioned by receipt of word of orders tor the general mobilization ot. Russia. Of more than passing interest wat one personal telegram sent by the kaiser to the czar. "I direct your attention," it read, "to my promise to my dying grandfather always to foster the friendship of Germany for Russia and urge you to recollect how I kept that promise during the Asiatic war." Mobilization Seemed Very Rapid. The correspondence also shed considerable light on the wonderful speed with which Germany acted, once the kaiser was convinced of Russia's duplicity. On the day of receipt of the word from spies that Russia was fully mobilizing the kaiser transmitted a message to the war minister solemn ly assuring the Russian government that no reservists had been called to the colors and that not even an extra horse had been requisitioned for Germany's armv. It was hardly 24 hours later that Germany's fighting forces begun marching to their posts. AMERICAN TRADE TO EUROPE BLOCKED HURRY HOME TO TAKE UP ARMS Most Experienced Bankers Puzzled by Problem of Carrying on Intercourse With Old Land. {By Dally News Leased Wire.) NBW YORK, Aug. 4.—All the financial machinery of the country was working smoothly today as a result of the emergency meusures taken yes- terduy to meet the present extraordinary situation, little progress being made toward resumption -of interchange of credits and commodities between the old world and the new. With Immediate financial necessities met Wall street turned Its attention to the general trade problem, which Is more Intricate than any other which nas confronted the country for a century. Unless this problem is solved, in part «t least it was recognized that the consequences, might be felt aer|. itusly throughout the nation. The greater part of the Import trade from Europe already has been cut off owing to the seizure of railway fucllitfes In France add Germany for military purposes and the holding, of the Atlantic vessels of. these countries. Merchandise Imputations here from France and Germany' alone average ♦1,000,000 dally. The export trade presented a still lurger problem. American exports to Europe under normal conditions average $•*,000,000 daily, nearly one-third of which Is for France and Germnny direct. -. - All of this trade ,at least for the moment, Is blocked. The remainder, including the one- third which usually goes to England. Is halted by the interruption of facilities for financing the export movement. With this problem the commercial and bunking interests of New York began to deal, but even the most experienced bankers were unable to give an idea today of what the solution would be. Stoppage of foreign trade already has been reflected by the piling up of goods at the portB and inland storage points. The United States Steel corporation, for example, annually exports 25 per cent of Its entire production. Word came from the steel district that men were being laid off. The copper trade wa-j even more directly affected, since one-half of the American output Is exported. Several of the larger copper cqmpanies decided today to reduce their output by one- half.

THIN FOLKS WHU .WOULD BE FAT Increase in Weight Ten More. Pounds oi A Physician's Advice, "I'd certainly give most anything to be able to fat up u few pounds and stay that wuy," declares every excessively thin mun or woman. Such a result is not Impossible, despite past failures. Thin people are victims ot mul-nutrltlon, a condition which prevents the fatty elements of food from being'taken up by the blood as they aro when the powers of nutrition are normal. Instead of getting into the blood, all the fat und flesh producing elements stay In the intestines until they pass from the body as waste. To correct this condition and to produce a healthy normal, amount ot fat the nutritive processes must be artificially supplied with the power which nature has denied them. This van best be acconupllshed by eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Surgol is a scientific combination of six oi the best strength-giving fat-producing elements known to the medical profession. Taken with meals, it mixes with the food and turns tho sugars and starches into rich, ripe nourish ment for the tissues and blood and Its rapid effect 1*- remarkable.

COMMUNICATION CALL TO ARMS To the Editor of The Daily News: Sir: Today the British Empire Is up against the greatest crisis of modern times, ns Is also our ally, France. At any moment, perhaps even at this time, the motherland may be fighting for her very existence In a war forced upon ber by the vanity and hatred of ber great neighbor, Germany. Therefore, tt seems to my humble judgment that now Is the tlme to prove our- selves worthy of the name of men. It Is clearly our duty and our privilege to offer our services to the Empire to fight for our glorious Canada, Let the maple leaf be to the very front In this great cause of right and justice. Any and every man who has no woman or child to feed by his work must, If he Is to be worthy ot the country In which he lives, volunteer for service abroad. To the women of Kootenay and Boundary, who are noted for their goodness and beauty, use every en deavor to bring your brothers and sweethearts to do their duty. This Ib your part in the great fight for the supremacy of the British Empire, and you will not fall. "She who rocks the cradle rules the world," Never was a saying eo true. Therefore rule. The writer ot this letter Is only a Canadian by having lived ln the country for a quarter of a century, but he loves Canada and would see ber crowned queen of all the great dominions because she gave her best quickly In a time of great need. The writer seeks n0 rank nor limelight, but Ib content to remain a humble server ln the great ranks of Canada. C. O. WES/THBAD, NelBon, B. C, Aug. *• Mr, Borero--*9h*H We talk pr dance?

LONDON, Aug. 6.~-Crowds gatlv ered about the government offices curin? yesterday and enctred the min- Isters whenever they -appeared, *m pressed around the motor cars. The railway depots were f-lll 3d with arm.*' rtf-erviets and territo-Jals In khaki, but there were no flags flying and the grsat. mass of the peume went about their ordinary business with serious (aces. The Liberal papers, the Chronicle and tho News, have come Into line and are supporting the government. This is believed to be due to Sir Edward Grey's speech' outlining the attitude of the government- and giving details of the situation in the com mo'ns yesterday. The Manchester Guardian and the Labor papers are virtually alone In antagonizing the government'-- policy. The Guardian, representing the great commercial Interests of Lanco- shlre, continues its opposition, II says: "It Is mockery to throw on the com mong at a moment's notice and In circumstances of great excitement the responsibility for deciding on a policy that has been maturing for years.'* Viscount Bryce, fornier American ambassador for Great Britain, heads the signers of a manifesto expressing the hope that the government has not exhausted the possibilities of diplomacy. But these voices are drowned In thc deep tide of popular belief that England's interests and ber national life compel her to resort to arms. Is Not Panto -Scheme. David Lloyd George announced ln the commons his scheme for Insuring shipping against war risks, "Because this scheme ls promulgat ed in the midst of an emergency," said the chancellor, "it is not In any sense a panic scheme prepared ln an emergency." Tho Imperial defense committee has labored on a plan for a year, he said. its aim was that In case ot war British commerce should not be interrupt ed by Inability to secure war risks and to insure that insurance rates should not go so high as to cause -any considerable crisis in prices. "Wo are convinced," he said, "that with the protection of the British navy wo can make certain of that condition." The work Is to be undertaken by the state Insurance office with a flat rate premium capable of variation from time to time. The government, ho said, was insuring 80 per cent of tho hulls of vessels. In respect of voyages current on tbe outbreak of war no premium would be charged, but It would be afterward. Tho chancellor expressed the hope that the time for putting the scheme into operation had not arrived, but if it had the plan would do something to relieve the anxiety- of the shipping and mercantile world. Preparedness la Astonishing. A royal proclamation today appealed to ail citizens in the present crisis to respect the orders of all military and civil officials and to render them, all assistance in their work, | By another proclamation the government took control of the railways, which are to b*Hbpernted by a commission. The complete preparedness of the government to apply all the machinery of war—Germany has been supposed to be far ahead of her neighbors—is a revelation to the people who In ordinary times are chronic grumblers over the supposed backwardness in military organization. Vice-Admiral Sir John Joyce has been gazetted commander of the Brit Ish fleets. Kitchener to Head Army. Field Marshal Lord Kitchener will undoubtedly take charge of the army. Field Marshal Sir John French, after a brief estrangement from the army as a result of the Ulster incident, has been appointed inspector-general. The mobilization of the army reserves and territorials has been conducted principally by motor buses, many of which left London for strategical points, crowded with soldiers and territorials. The city of London yeomanry has offered itself for foreign duty. Some of the territorial regl ments will do the same. The channel steamers arriving today were packed with refugees. There is considerable anxiety over several ships In Norwegian waters with summer tourists aboard. Thousands Cheer Rulers. (By Dally News Leased Wire.)

FOOD PRICES IN DOMINION RISE Flour, Canned Goods, Tea, Meat and Other Produce Show War Influence. (By Daily News Leased Wire.) TORONTO, Aug. 4.—Flour advanced 50 cents per barrel and bag today as a result of the war sltuution to $5.60 In bags and $(".10 in wood, Sugar advanced 10 cents yesterday und another advance I8 expected at any moment. It Is now $4.61 per cwt. Canned meats of all kinds that have not been sold ahead will bo increased in price.. This also applies to canned vegetables and fruit. Wholesale grain merchants see in the crop conditions in the west justification for wheat at $1.10 and $1.15. They add to this the possibilities of tho war conditions and evolve a higher price list for grain products. In view of the demand for a large wheat supply to Britain as the result of the present political crisis, preparations will likely be made for placing of day and night crews In all the elevators along the shipping points of the greut lakes. This uction will be taken by tbe ship owners-to avoid losing time in having tbe grain shipped us readily as It is demanded. Tea Two Cents Higher. (By Dally News Leaser.

"Condemnations nt Vancouver for last week were 889 boxes of apples, 1,492 of pears, 2.395 of peaches; on Saturday (492 boxcB of pears and 1,100 boxes of peaches were condemned, making a total of 4,776 packages, "All this fruit was sent back to the United States, whence It came. This is a heavy toll, it Is true, but what can we do but condemn Infected fruit We cannot take the chances of having our own orchards infected. It is morally certain that we do not succeed in finding all infection In green fruit. It is utterly Impossible to detect all the worms in green pears until the fruit has ripened up; the larvae may not bo over one-third inch long nor larger than a very fine needle, when the fruit Is shipped. Pests In United States. "It Is very evident that our cousins south of the international boundary aro in a bad way with orchard and field pests and diseases. I am officially informed that the Colorado potato beetle has reached eastern Wash- ington in Its westward march. I see nothing for it than the extension of the quarantine regulations, which we now have against California potato tuber moth, to all the states and territories south. It Is ln my opinion a serious mistake to expose this province to the danger of having our orchards and fields infected with pests and diseases from which we are happily now free. Our fruit growers and farmers have difficulties enough to content with In settling up a new country like British -Columbia without exposing them to such risks. "We are very busy fumigating rice. The quantity treated this f-tftUUs season is so much in excess of other years that our supply of ruminant has run short, but we have some two tons now on the way. It has been decided to inspect and fumigate, when necessary, all railway cars that come In to load fruit. We have found at great cost that cars that are used in carrying Infected fruit are exceedingly dangerous. One such infected car arriving In the very heart of Okanogan valley cost this department consider* ably over $2,000 to eradicate the infection which it conveyed, but we did the Job thoroughly, for which I am more than thankful.

LANNIN BECOMES BIG MAN IN AMERICAN Buying a major bofieball club for $600,000 is not a myth. Joseph J. Lan- nln actually -mid thut amount of casli for the Boston Red Sox, the money being about equally divided between Gen. Charles H, Taylor ana his sun, John I. Taylor, who recently sold 50 percent of the stock, and the McAleer- McRoy Interests which were pur- hased last December. Lannin In less than eight months, because of this investment, hns become one of the most popular men in Boston and also a powerful magnate In the affairs of the American league and organized baseball. Prom the position of bellboy In the famuus Parker house in the Hub more than 30 years ago, Lannin lias been wonderfully sikv-'ssI'iiI as a builder of many hotels and apartment houses and as a developer of reul estate. While he Is deeply Interested In business affairs which he conducts in Boston, ho Is Iho owner of the Garden City hotel ln Nubbuu county, Long Island. Having amassed a fortune, Lannin, who huB follower baseball as a fan ever since be was a schoolboy, decided three years ago thnt he couM find time to devote {>> *h-> ownership nf a major league •'lub. He wanted recreation and excitement and he knew that baseball would furnish both, Lannin tlrs^ had his plans to get tho Boston Kationils, but John M. Ward and James 13. Gaffney secured that club before he ojuld put in a bid. He bought some Of thc stock, however, and was elected ,i director, but that proved to be too tame. When .lames R. McAleer fired* Jake Stahl from the management of the Red Sos In the summer of 1913, therefore, Lannin realized that a change of ownership was Inevitable. So he quickly opened negotiations with President Ban Johnson of the American league., who readily accepted his proposition. Meets Speaker's Demands. Although he controlled only half the stock and hud been elected president of the Red Sox with the votes of the Taylors, Lannin found himself In a trying predicament when Trls Speaker returned from the world's tour in March. Speaker had received a big offer from the Feds, but Lannin promptly showed his nerve and liberality by signing Speaker to a two year contract calling for a total salary of J35.000. It was the fearless policy that mado Lannin a big man in the American league, for had he allowed Speaker to get away from him the Red Sox would have received a fatal knockout blow. It was with a feeling of general Satisfaction, therefore, that the Americun league men soon learned that Lunnln wus ready to buy out the Taylors' Interests, and when the deal went through the new owner of the Red Sox mnde a 10 strike in Boston. "I didn't buy the Red Sox with the idea of making big profits." said Lannin the other day, "although some persons may not believe me. I love bnsebail and 1 believe thut after 30 years of hard labor aa n business man I am entitled to some amusement. If the club breaks even this year or loses some money I will feel satisfied, for I am trying to build up the team so that Boston fans wilt soon be able to boast of another world's championship." 1 Canada Seizes Wireless Station.

CURING TOOTHACHE THROUGH THE NOSE I At last' a real cure for tho toothache ideclarcd to bc effective by several reliable doctors, h.is been discovered. II •Is the invention of Dr. Adolf Schwartz, jan Austrian army surgeon now Bta- jtioned at Gravosa, in Dalmatla, In -Austria. It Is based on the use of it'herlc oil of mustard which can be obtained in nearly every drug store - Tiie sufforer must be very careful ||r): follow the instructions given by T>r. Schwartz In using the oil, otherwise It may cause serious Injury to 'the eyes. The putt*>nt should close his eyes nnd lips as firmly us possible and with his finger stop the nos- trll on the opposite side' of the face from thnt affected by the toothache. ,He then places a tiny bottle containing noo more Hum ftvy grams of the ethirlc oil of mustard to thc open nostril and takes a deep breath, immediately ho will suffer a violent and painful Inflammation accompanied by an abundant flow of tears, reddening of the face and temporary stopping of the breath. This pain lasts at tlio most onc or two minute-?. When it goes away the toothache disappears with it. The inflammatory conditions subside very quickly aad In tlie majority of oases the toothache does not reappear within several hours, if at all. The .Teatment may then be recommenced and repeated as often as two or three times with cuccess, The explanation of the success ol this treatment is that the oil of mustard reaches the mam trunk of the trigeminal nerve through the nose. The nerves of the teeth ure little offshoots fr-utn tills main nerve. The mustard set.-* up a t'omporary inflammation In the main nerve and when the nerve reads against the mustard it drives out the inflammation from the little nerve ends in the teet'h, NELSON NEWS OF THE DAY Mi Sullivan of Sllverton is at thi .1.
