New York has been for the pant few weeks in the throei of an antU vivisection campaign. The agitation It laid to have begun in the rivalry of two opposing humane locitiei In the city, wan taken up by an influen tial newspaper ami finally spread to mich an extent in the experiment! upon living animal, Industriously spread about by the agitator, that bills to regulate and restrict such ex periments were Introduced In the state legislature. Now the physic lans of the city have become arouied and have shown that these stories of atrnrllipa nr fnln nnt lh Ttnarrt nf Health of the City has passed resolu tions declaring that all the advances In preventive medicine for the past twenty years which have reduced the death rate in New York nearly one third saving the lives of more than 20.000 persons a year", have been based to a great entcnt upon experi ments performed on living animals. Health Commissioner Darlington has brought forward statistics to show that death from diptheria In the city have been reduced to one-fifth what they formerly were as a result of'the animal experiments that fed to the serum treatment and has asked the antrvivicctionlts how many dogs they considered to be worth one hu man being thus saved (com death Thus reduced to absurdity the move ment to. save street dogs and guinea pigs at the expense of human beings seem likely to collapse and the bills to which it gave rise probably will be allowed to slumber quietly in their pigeon holes at Albany. Could tthe wisdom of one New York judge be followed compared to which, by the way, the wisdom of Solomon fades into obscuritythe evil of bigamy would soon be elimin ated. A Justice of the General Ses sions has just mode a ruling in a case of this kind calculated to strike terror to the hearts of all men who find that one wife is sufficient, in spite of the country's laws to the contrary. In stead of sentencing to a term In jail! man tvhn nnnfirrt KnfrtrA lilm A.I . mitting that he had two wives, both living, thus freeing the husband from j the marital obligations which he had assumed, the learned judge continued these bonds with added punishment. His decision, which may mark a new j departure in cases of this kind, len tenccd the husband to support both wives and to pay to each of them a J stipulated sum each week for support, j Further than that the bigamist was paroled in charge of his two mother-in-laws, according to whose reports his sentence was to be commuted The husband moreover will be called upon to give a security bond that he will continue his double lifs under the restrictions imposed. In this epochal decision many wives and legal lights In New York see a prom, iie of an early termination of the crime of bigamy. ; More glasses drinking glasses are broken in New York every day than In any other city in the world, according to figures just gathered. In the seven thousand and odd drink ing places along tthe Incandescent Row, as Broadway is now called, the value of goblets shattered every year would support more than 4,000 fami lies, since the total runs about $4,000, 000 every twelve months Strange as it may seem the common beer glas ses at five cents apiece furnish nearly half of the total, more than $2,000,000 worth of "schooner" containers be ing smashed every year In various ways, It is not alone the cheapest glasses which contribute to this enor mous total, however, since thousands of choice glasses made of cut or Ven etian glass and valued at from fifty cents to several dollars apiece are broken In the higher class cafes every year. The figures show indeed more than one hundred of the most ex clusive places in each of which such breakage amounts to more than $2500 annually. There are at least a dozen, too, where the sum exceeds $10,000 every twelve months. The careless or destructive public is not called upon to make good this loss In the majority of places except in the case of mlrrora. For the pleasure of breaking one of them the customer is expected to pay, Of course, to a large part of the $4,000,000 annual loss arises from the more valuable glasses which are merely chipped. Such, however, In the better cafes and hotels are discarded as a total loss- How important this whole item is may be seen from the assertion of glass manufacturers to the effect that an annual revenue averaging $200 ac crues to them from each drinking place in the state. (In addition to this the value of the glassware stolen from the restaurants every year amounts to about $l,bO0,000 so that Father Knickerbocker's drink bill, in addition to costing him about $330. 000,000 annually for liquids consumed has added to it 'the not Insignificant sum of $5,000,000 for containers. MIXTURE TO CLEAN r BAD BLOOD . BABY CROP. Stork Has Brought Father Knicker bocker 32.655 Youngsters This Year Making Biggest Total Known . . NEW YORK, April 10.-Father Knickerbocker, if recent figures count for anything, has undoubtedly won the Roosevelt anti-suicide medal. Since the first of the year the baby crop, undisturbed by panics, has as sumed proportions never before achieved not only by New York, but by any other city In tthe world. The stork has been an extrcmelv husv . . . . . - mra ncreaoout since no less than 32. 655 babies have come to Increase the population of the city during the first three jmonths of the year. This is the biggest number on record for any three months in the history of the BY ACTING ON THE KIDNEYS HOME VEGETABLE MIXTURE WHICH FORCES THE KID NEYS TO FILTER OUR IMPURITIES. All medical authorities are agreed that the blood is the great source of disease or of health in the human system. If the blood is pure, the in dividual is strong and healthy, if the blood is impure or diseased then there is sickness or decay in the whole sys tem. Rheumatism is strictly a blood dis ease. It is caused by cxessivc uric acid. Sores, pimples, etc., mean bad blood. Catarrhal affections must be treated through the blood to get per manent results, ; To get well, to feel strong, hearty and vigorous one muj have good clean blood and lots of 7r. You can't clean the blood thoroughly unless the kidneys are made active. Bad blood means clogged, inactive kidneys Irid liver which causes, too, such symptoms as backache, ner vousness, bladder and urinary diffi culties and other sympathetic troubles. Here is a simple home remedy and the Recipe for making it up is as follows: Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half ounce, Compound ' Krgon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three, ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful does after each meal and again at bedtime. The in gredients can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy at small cost, Here the readers of ?his paper have a simple yet powerful and effective remedy for all forms of blood, kid ney and bladder diseases which should relieve rheumatism and catarrhal af fections and replace that weak, worn out indifferent feeling with strength, vigor and health. ati j w nat otove for Summer?

Based on this standard Father Knickerbocker may expect about 400,000 babies during the present year, and as the increase of the city's population depends on local births for only a small percen tage of the increase of its population, as compared to immigration it seems probable that New York may shortly be tthe most populous city in the world. Not only is the birth rate the highest in the history of the city, but the death rate the lowest. The aver age in this regard so far this year shows less than eighteen and one- half deaths out of each one thousand population. A surprising feature in this connection, is found in the de crease of marriages. Whether be cause of the hard times or the new registration law is not known, but records for the first quarter of 1907 show only 9557 marriages during the quarter as against 11,750 during the same period last year. As a result it appears that while Cupid and the undertakers are less1 busy, the stork is busier than ever before. . Cardiff Coal Now Ready For ' , Delivered AT THE CALLENDEB NAVIGATION C.

President Eliot Says Instructors Should not Marry too Early in Life. CHICAGO, April lO.-Young col lege instructions should live in single blessedness, according to President Charles Eliot, of Harvard University, who lectured on "The Trustees" at Northwestern University last night. Only when the instructor had ad vanced to an assistant professorship should he contemplate matrimony, is the view f the educator ' The trustees of a university should use careful judgment in regulating the scale of salaries for teachers and of ficers of the university," President Eliot said. "The salary for an in structor begining to teach in ? uni versity should be the amount needed by A young unmarried man to live comfortably but not in lflxury. "The salary should be advanced as the instructor gains in usefulness and by the time he is ready for an as sistant professorship . his salary should be enough to enable him to support a wife andj ,two or three children comfortably but. not in lux ury. "Under all circumstances, the trus tees should use good judgement in arranging the scale of salaries and take into consideration the circum stances and surroundings in each separate instance."
