Washington, Aug. 25.?Word came from Port au Prince today that Charge Davis of the American legation had extended, until tomorrow night the time for action by the Hatien congress on the proposed treaty to establish for ten years an American financial protoMnroto nvor tVlQ rpnnhlif* Xoon today had been fixed as the time | | by which the charge would expect approval of the treaty draft. The Haitiens protested vigorously, however, and the extension was granted. Officials ' ere did not comment on press reports that the congress and minis- j ; try threatened to resign if the Ameri- j | can government insisted on immediate j I action. Secretary Lansing, in a statement toj day said that the United States *was i acting from disinterested moti' es to ! save the republic from ruin through i never ending revolutions.

Funeral at Sprine Hill. Lexington, Aug. 23.?Solemn and impressive were the funeral services conducted over the remains of the late Miss Catherine Haiti wanger, l:eld at the home of her brother, J. E. Haltiwanger, near Spring Hill, at 11 o'clock this morning. The services were con ducted by the Rev. S. C. Ballentine of Pomaria, who for many years was the pastor of Miss Haltiwanger, assisted by the Rev. H. S. Petrea. Both paid beautiful tributes toi' er life and character.

Beverly, Mass., Dispatch to New York World. Martha Woodburq, the 2-year-old daughter of Mrs. Rowland iWbodbury of 18 Bissen street, had a narrow escape from drowning when carried out to sea on a log which foad drifted to I the heach where the child was playing. The child seated herself on the end of the log. wf ich had drifted upon the beach, but the ebbing tide soon carried the bit of driftwood away, with little Martha sitting astride it.

I ROOSEVELT HITS WILSOX OX FOREIGN POLICY J >Vas Speaking to Soldiers at the Plattsburg Military Camp. Plattsburg, X. Y., Aug. 25.?Theo| dore Roosevelt in an address tonight at the military instruction camp here, declared that for thirteen months the United States had "played an ignoble part among the nations" in tr at it had j "tamely submitted to seeing the weak, j whom we had covenanted to protect, ' wronged," and "had seen our own men, I women and children murdered on the high seas without action on oar part." The former president condemned ti e government for having "not taken the smallest step in the way of* preparedness to^defend our own rights," Germany, he condemned as "utterly brutal and ruthless in its disregard of international morality ana aeciarea that it "would be a base abandonment of morality" for American manufacturers of munitions of war to refuse to make shipments "for the use of the armies that are striving to restore Belgium to its own people." Munition makers who refused to make such shipments should be put, he said, on a "roll of dishonor." He added that they should be encouraged "so that we may be able to hold our own when the hour of peril comes to r-5 inNour turn." THE DEAD BEAT Is the Great Part of the Hig^i Cost yof Living. You can ngure tne larin ana you can figure the trust and you can figure the combination?but you don't get the right thing on the cost of high living unless you take in the dead beat and t? e delivery system.

He gets away with the goods somehow. The (.Merchant's association has him marked; the grocer knows fce never pays?but somehow he finally gets on the books and before he is refused further credit he owes anywhere from J ten to a hundred dollars. He is going J to pay next week. He has all the de- j luxe hard luck stories ever dreamed i of by mortal man. He )*:as had sickness. He is just going to get a job; j he is going to pay the first of the month and wants a little further ac- j commodation and the merchant gives | up?and it means the man who pays j cash also pays for the dead beat?or, j the mere ant goes out of business, i The dead beat means ten per cent or 1 more on your grocer's bill. It means 1 a/. fV*or* fV?of SUiXlCHiilCS 1U(JI C Uiau uiat, And then comes the delivery busi- j ness. The grocer must keep two or J three delivery wagons.

Then there is a grand rush about ten in ti':e morning and extra delivery clerks are called in?and then there is a grand rush the rest of the day?but the expense goes on. The merchant must charge this to some account. He must j C4. 4.*U~ I maive prom tuougia on uic gwus <.u pay this terrible toll, and you can safely figure that the dead beat and the delivery system costs you $25 on every $100 worth of goods you consume? and if that isn't a pretty toll what is? But these figures can be verified. Often , the merchant doesn't know it. Hardly ever makes more than a living and sometimes he doesn't make tftat in the grocery business. He has another ten per cent loss on green goods and fruits and things like that?and by the time the ultimate consumer gets his food he has paid the higb prices which modern civilization and modern aeadbeatism demand.

Physicians Declare a Gallon a Day Will Insure Good Kansas City Star. "A gallon a day will keep the doctor away." That is what a physician of this i city said when asked if it was a good thing to drink much water. Doctors disagreed about whether it is good to drink water wit)': meals, the majority believing that food should not < t be washed down with liquids, but;' should be thoroughly chewed and mix- i ed with saliva, which is an aid to di gestion. But several doctors wf:o were asked about it yesterday asserted that i it was good to drink even as much as a quart of water with meals. All of the seven doctors who were in- ' terviewed about the benefits of water : drinking agreed that the copious < drinking of water was a preventive 1 of disease, and they had Known many j 1 cases in whicf: health was restored by 1 the drinking of water in large quanti- < ties. One doctor advocated the drink- . ing of as much as three gallons of < water a day in very warm weather, ( reducing the amount when the weather is cooler, but never drinking .less than 1 a gallon a day. 1 "Wi;.y," said this physician, "two- c thirds of the weight of the body is i water. In a very warm day in August j an average man who is at work will t perspire from two to six quarts of i water a day. Where is it all coming t from if you don't drink it? Many \ poisons generated by the body are ex uded through the pores .of the skin in perspiration. Many perrons ti ink t they are not perspiring unless they j can see beads of water on the skin, j But we perspire at all times, walking ( and sleeping, and we do not see it be- \ cause it evaporates immediately. It i is almost impossible to drink too much ] water." I Another docior said: "I saw a short < article in the Star the other evening ' ( quoting an eminent medical authority j < as savine that all srirls and women 1 1 who wished to have a good complexion ' should drink two quarts of water a day. I would double that and advise them to drink four quarts a day. Give the boy plenty of pure water, inside ! and outside, a gallon a day inside, a j thorough bathing of the whole body at!

If every woman would do that ^ the rouge and complexion powder fac- ^ tories would shut down. There is noth- . ing so good as plenty of water drunk t every day for the complexion." A physician said: "I am not claim ing that the drinking of plenty of wa- j ter is a preventive of all diseases; that would be misleading and silly, but I will say this: I have cured several I bad/cases of rheumatism and many cases of stomach ailments with water alone. In those cases the patients were in the fcabit of drinking very little water. I prescribed a quar?t of water before breakfast each morniifrg and -11 fViA /lev a ganon ui unn. tuiuuguuui. tm, and a quart on going to bed at night. It worked a cure in each case. "I say this, most emphatically, that i ^ a half-gallon or a gallon of water a ( day will help wash out the toxic poisons that are found in the body, and will tend to keep a person in good f health and help him resist disease. "There is constantly being accumuo | ^ lated in the body not only waste mat- j ter, resulting from chemical changes taking place in the upkeep of the vital energy, but also the blood takes up c toxic poisons from the intestines. Unless those things are thrown off by ^ the lungs, skin, kidneys, etc., we be- ^ :ome lazy, dyspeptic and uric acid will accumulate and cause rheumatism, kidney disorder and other organic disturbances.

Berlin, Aug. 25 (via London, Aug. 26).?If the commander of a German submarine exceeded his instructions in sinking the steamer Arabic the German government will give full satisfaction to the United States, G:ancel lor von Bethmann-Hollweg informed the Associated Press correspondent ia an interview this evening. v The imperial chancellor made the following statement of Germany's position: "As long as the circumstances sur rounding tne sinKing or tne Araoic have not been fully cleared up it is impossible for me to make a definite statement. Thus far we do not even know wT:ether the sinking of the ship cvas caused by a mine or by a torpedo ired from a German submarine, nor 3o we know in this latter case the Arabic herself may not have by her ictions, perhaps, justified proceedings >f the commander of-the submarines. "Only after all these circumstances lave been cleared up will it be possible to say whether tfce commander of )ne of our submarines went beyond his nstructions,. in which case the imperial government would noj. hesitate ;o give such complete satisfaction to he United States as would conform to he friendly relations existing between joth governments."

The foreign office, lowever, is evidently fully aware of he delicate nature of the situation, md is disposed to avoid a crisis which s farthest from its desire. The American amDassador, James N.

Ambassador Gerard at 2 o'clock this tfternoon received a request from foreign Minister 'von Jagow to call lpon him and left a luncheon party o respond to the invitation. The ambassador conferred a half hour with he foreign minister. Ambassador Gerard afterwards would say nothing ' garding the conversation. The only information which the government has is that contained ia newspaper dispatches from abroad, \ hich throws little light on tf e cir Mmstances attenaing me aesuuuuuu :r the steamer. It is not even clear -vhether the disaster was due to a orpedo or a mine, and whether, in' >ase the vessel was torpedoed, t)':ere vere special circumstances which implied the commander of the subma ine to attack the Arabic.
