The new generation, since the scan dalous stock jobbing operation that marked the advent of the Marconi wireless telegraph concern in which thousands of widows and other poor, folks were robbed of their savings, should read a little history. The pub lic is short of memory. It will not be long before the stock jobbers will be at work offering all kinds of allur ing propositions identified with the manufacture and operation of wire telephone outfits. The danger of being swindled in these highly specu lative enterprises is in proportion to the opportunity of profit, and so a double warning is necessary, because the wireless telephone business is destined to stagger the imangination before many years have passed. When the thousand per cent per day proposal reaches town, let those with loose change be cautious. Cupidity is. a dangerous leader. Follow old Genieral Conservatism and be safe.?

Aaj corollary ho asserted the elim ination of the menace of pneumonia would cause such a rapid Increase In the population of the world that In a short time we wouldn't know what to do with the aurplua. His statements were made at the Congress hotel, where he was a guest of medical men attending the eight eenth annual congress oa medical edu sald they are based on figures compiled from the death lists of Americana In the great war. These figures disclose that while 37,000 soldiers were killed on the bat tlefield, 45,000 died frqm pneumonia In the hospitals and training camps, he said. Of these 42,000 died In four months. "The greatest problem before med ical men today la finding a vaccine or preparation which will prevent the contraction of diseases which lead to pneumonia and death," General Ire land said. "This controlled, deaths from other diseases, especially In war fare, would be negligible. "Phystdkns all over the country are bending their best efforts to the solu tion of this problem. In the army we have been making extensive experi ments and It is possible now that we are on the track of a prepara tion which will lead to the desired results. "Within the lust few weeks army physicians have been trying out a new vaccine In the army and some of the reports are encouraging. That, how ever, ts all we can say. It will take months of work before anything defi nite will be known. "If war ghonld be declared tomor row, I would not need to have a sin gle cot prepared for patients suffering , from typhoid fever nnd malaria, the diseases which workyd such havoc in the Spanish-American war.
