Ool E. M. House, Wilson's Con
ridential Adviser Will
^ Visit Ambassadors.
New York.?Col. E. M. House, confidential
advisor of President Wilson
has stated that lie will shortly sail
for Europe at the request of the President.
Colonel House declared the
^ple purpose of his trip would be to
deliver to certain American ambassadors
information regarding this government's
attitude on various international
matters now pending. He
denied emphatically that his trip will
in any way be a peace mission.
Colonel House said he expected tc
sail within the next two weeks and
p probably would be in Europe about
six or eight weeks.
"I am going to Europe at the request
of the President and the Secretary
of State for the purpose of taking
information to some of our ambassadors,"
he said, "in order that
they may have a more intimate knowledge
of this government's attitude
regarding certain phases of international
questions and in order to obtain
from them their point of view or
these matters.
"It is not advisable to bring home
at this time any of our ambassadors
from the belligerent countries. It has
been found impossible to convey or
obtain by cable or correspondence
quite the correct atmosphere."

ATTEMPTS TO DYNAMITE
SMITH HOME
Unknown Assailants Attack
House Occupied by Widow
and Daughter.
Asheville.?One of the most mysterious
cases that has been reportd to
the sheriff's office in many years is
engaging the attention of Sheriff
Mithchell and his deputies at Asheville,
N. C. Mrs. O. D. Smith and her
daughter, Miss Annie Smith, having
renortpfl o fiprioo nf off onlro 11>1
f H vvxva v? Hvvn^nt) tJ J Mil"
known parties on their home in West
Asheville The first attack occurred
about a week ago when a thump
against the front door caused the women
to investigate, the investigation
revealing a stick of dynamite with
percussion cap properly placed which
had been hurled against the door.
Only the fact that the stick of dynamite
had not happened to strike on
the cap is believed to have saved the
house from destruction.
Following the attack with the dynamite
which failed an unknown party
appeared before the Smith home a
night or two ago and opened fire with
a pistol or pistols, five bullets passing
through the door and into the walls
beyond, and two lodging in the door
casing. The women, thoroughly
alarmed by the second attack, request;
ed the sheriff to investigate the mat
ter, and the members of the sheriff's
departnr ent hav cbcen busy on the
case every since.
No clue to the attackers can be
. located, and officials are at a loss to
account for the actions of the mys,
terious unknowns, as Mrs. Smith and
, her daughter have no enemies in this
rart of the country so far as can be
. learned.

S What Causes Tuberculosis? |
ftimiiiimiiiiiiiiiiitiimiimiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimim
THERE can be no tuberculosis without the germ, the tubercle
bacillus. Whether the disease appears in the lungs, in the
hand, in the hips, or in the eye, it is the same germ that always
causes it.
Looking at it from another way, however, the germ of tuberculosis
can never cause the disease unless the soil has been prepared for
it. It is as if the germ were the seed and the body were the soil.
You cannot raise wheat on a hard, cobblestone pavement nor can you
grow corn on a boardwalk. Neither can you grow tuberculosis from
the tiny plant-like germ which causes the disease, on a soil which is
hard and resistant. The tissues of the body in which the disease is
to develop must first be weakened and made flabby and prepared for
the growth of the disease somewhat as the farmer prepares his soil
before sowing his seed.
What are the causes that prepare the soil for the growth of tuberculosis
germs in the body? There are first of all, a group of
causes which lie within the individual himself, which we may call
personal causes. Some of them may be controlled by the individual
and some of them are beyond his control. Take such causes, for example,
as intemperance, lack of proper food, a weakened physical
condition caused by grippe, colds, pneumonia, measles, typhoid fever,
etc.,?these are some of the personal causes which prepare the soil
A' *i.? 4...1 1 _ l rjiv. 11.?? ?i.. 1-1- ? -fr
lur uii3 luucryuiuus seen, xneii uncio 10 iviou cinuuiier gruup ui causes
which are entirely outside of tlie individual and which we may designate
as environmental or social causes. Some of these are, for example,
bad living and working conditions, lack of play and recreation
facilities, unclean streets, etc.
These two groups of causes may either separately or altogether,
act upon one so that his normal strength and vitality, which we call
resistance, is lowered and he readily becomes a prey to the disease
germs which are constantly lurking about and which he may be
harboring in his body without knowing it. Let us consider some of
these causes a little more in detail.
Of the personal causes that lead to tuberculosis, probably intemperance
may be reckoned as one of the mo3t important. By intemperance
is meant everything in the way of self indulgence that injures
the body. One may be intemperate in eating and by partaking
of too much food may produce permanent digestive disturbance
which weakens the bodily resistance. One may be intemperate in the
use of drugs or in other ways, thereby weakening the bodily resistance.
The most frequent form of intemperance, however, is the use
of intoxicating liquors. Any man who drinks beer, wine or whiskey
to excess is preparing the soil of bis lungs for the seed of tuberculosis.
This is the reason why the mortality from tuberculosis among men
and women who are accustomed to drink is so high, much higher
according to reliable statistics than among people who do not use
intOxic? + inlirmors
1 o 1
Many children from the tim'e they are born into the world are
doomed to starvation. Other people because they liko candy, pie,
and cake better than meat, bread, and vegetables, are starving .themselves
willfully. This underfeeding or lack of proper food will as
surely prepare the soil for tuberculosis as if one deliberately set out
to do so.
Many people have a notion that if they have apparently recovered
from a bad cold or an attack of grippe or pneumonia, there
is no further danger and they are perfectly safe. Oftentimes the
most dangerous period in an acute disease is during the few week3
immediately after the patient is able to be up and about. It is during
this time of convalescence that the seeds of disease will find a sure
root if special care is not taken. Fresh air, good food, rest, and right
living are the best safeguards against tuberculosis during a time
such as this. T after-effects of many diseases can be avoided if the
patient will continue to persist in taking care of himself just the
same as he did when he was in the bed and under the doctor's orders.
Then there are those causes of tuberculosis which are entirely
outside of the individual such as bad housing conditions. Dark rooms
where the sun never sVii npa nro omnn rr tVio
. UI1U utuwilg ViiV L/?i3V MA V/V/Ullig ^/laV/ta J\J\JO'
sible for the germs of tuberculosis. Here they thrive in great quantities
and it is almost impossible to dislodge them. Dark, filthy hallways,
unclean sinks, and dirty backyards and toilets are also menaces
to the health of those who live near them. Many a man can improve
these conditions with a little effort if he will take the time to do so
More often, however, it is the landlord's fault that the housing conditions
are not better.
Low wages, long hours of work, dark unventilated factory
rooms, excessive heat, and dusty occupations are only a few of the
conditions which make it easy for the seed of tuberculosis to attack
the working man. The lack of proper places for play and recreation
which makes a man go to the saloon at night instead of into the park
or playground, is a social cause leading to tuberculosis. These social
causes can be fought only by the united effort of the men and women
of the community. Individuals can help but it takes all shoulders
at the wheel to produce effective results.
In conclusion, remember that the soil must be right before th?
seed of tuberculosis can grow, and that you can contribute much
towards kp^-nincr +Vt r? oa?1 "

HINMAN'S SLAYER
GETS NEW TRIAL
I Federal Court of Appeals Orders
Rehearing of Geo. B.
Perkins' Case. .
Richmond, Va.?George B. Perkins,
the Boston, Mass., architect, who shot
and killed F. W. R. Hinman, business
manager of the Florida Times-Union
Jacksonville, on board the Clyde liner
Mohawk, off Charleston, November
11, 1914, has been granted a new trial
by the United States circuit court of
appeals. Perkins was sentenced to
three years' imprisonment by the
United States district court at Columbia.
In granting the writ of error, the
circuit court held that the lower!
court's instructions to the jury that
Perkins was suffering with delirium
tremens, , when the crime was committed,
was erroneous and prejudicial.
It was pointed out that the evidence
had not proved he was so afflicted,
and that he might have been insane
from the long use of alcohol or drugs.
The plea of the defense at the trial
was that. Perkins had been drinking
heavily and had taken an overdose of
drug which had caused insanity.
The case is remanded back to the
district court at Columbia for retrial.
i Mr. Hinman was shot while stand|
ing on the deck of the Mohawk talk
I ing with Mrs. Hinman and Capt. Ingram,
master of the steamer. Perkins,
apparently under the influence
of a narcotic, appeared in a night robe
and opened fire upon the party with
a revolver without warning. The first
bullet struck Capt. Ingram in the ab*
domcn and seriously wounded him.
Mr. Hinman fell before the second
bullet, while a third slightly wounded j
C. L. Wright, of Utica, N. Y., another i
passenger. Perkins then tried to shoot
himself, but was restrained and taken
to his cabin under guard.
When the Mohawk reached Charleston
some hours* later the police
were called and they found Perkins
asleep. He professed ignorance of
the shooting and was sent to a hospital.
Later he was taken to Columbia
for trial in the Federal court there,
I
the shooting having taken place on
the high seas outside the jurisdiction
of the State courts.

WAU UPON PAIN!
Pain is a visitor to every homo and
usually it comes quite unexpectedly.
Hut you arc prepared for every cmmergcncy
if you keep a small bottle,
of Sloan's Liniment handy. It is thegreatest
pain killer ever discovered.1
Simply laid on the skin?no rubbing
required?it drives the pain away. It
is really wonderful.
Mervin H. Soister, Herkely, Cal.,
writes: "Last Saturday, after tramping
around the Panama Exposition
with wet feet, I came home with my
neck so stiff I coudn't turn. I applied
Sloan's Liniment freely and
went to bed. To my surprise, next
morning the stiffness had almost disappeared,
four hours after the second
application I was as good as new."

Washington, Doc. 22.?The United
States contends, in its second note to
Austria on the Ancona case, that the
odicial admission of the Austrian admiralty
that the liner was torpedoed
after she had stopped and while passengers
still were aboard, alone is
sufficient for the American demand
for disavowal, reparation and punishment
of the submarine commander.
The note renews the demands of
the United States and says the details

the continuance of good relations depends

A lecturer who protested against
people going to sleep during his disquisitions
on heathen lands, would, if
he perceived any tendency in that direction,
introduce SOi'iiO queer or
startling statement to revive their
flagging attention. On one occasion
when his audience seemed rather
somnolent, he thundered out: "Ah,
you have no idea of the suffering of
Englishmen in Central America, on
account of the enormous mosquitoes.
A great many of these pests would
weigh a pound, and they will get on
the logs and bark as the white men
are passing." . "*\
By this time all ears were wide
open, and he proceeded to finieh

lecture. The next day he was called
upon to account for his extraordinary
statements. "But I didn't say one

I them would. 1 think perhaps a mil[
lion would. I think perhaps a million

I they bark at the missionaries," persisted
his interlocutor. "No, no, my
