rate of interest to 4% and some to 5 per cent. Even the higher rates failed to bring out the bidders.

Two reasons for the failure are assigned by financial men. One is the war abroad and the outlook for a prolonged period of trouble. Financial men say the Very heavy losses caused by war, even in the old world, are certain to have a plainly reflected effect in the financial affairs of this country. The loss of war, they point out, is a loss in values to the world, and the world must, in the end, be the -suffer^ from the destruction.

Another reason assigned is the action of the voters of the state in forcing all issues of municipal bonds on the tax list and making them taxable as property. At once after that amendment to the constitution was adopted the interest rates on bonds were advanced, the bond dealers point out, and the desirability of the issues was decreased.

A leading financial journal in New York has recently put out a statement of bond offerings that failed during August. It says from Aug. 1 to Aug. 29 the offerings that failed in Ohio amounted to $3,084,678. Other states had experiences much similar and the journal concludes that municipalities, like individuals, will be compelled to undertake a campaign of retrenchment, now that funds are not readily obtainable from bond issues.

THE WAR FOR PEACE.

"The greatest blessing that can befall Germany is defeat and disarmament. For her disarmament would mean the dismantling of all the fortifications on both sides of hier frontiers and also a general Eui'opean disarmament," says the Wall Street Journal, and continues in the following strain: "Germany would then be unhampered by military strain and taxes and free to re-enter more fully the race in which she naturally belongs—the commercial race, in mining, manufacturing and shipping. "Her standard of living and wages would gradually rise and she would be for all the world not only a great producing but one of the great consuming nations. On the other hand her military success over all Europe would burden her with the maintenance of a war machine and a war diplomacy which might- in the end be her total destruction."

Although official statements from London and elsewhere are that it is too early to talk peace, such declarations are not supported by the facts. From all sides It is conceded that this is a war for peace. Germany says she is fighting for the peace of Europe and that she has had to maintain her war machines and taxation to that end. England, France and Russia likewise, each and all declare they are, fighting for the.p.eace of Europe and the world and that this desirable end can only be attained by the destruction of German militarism.

Therefore, what is there to talk about save peace—how best to attain worldwide and lasting peace and in what terms of settlement is this peace to be expressed?

If the thought of the world is to avail anything, in this.matter it must be clarified by an intelligent discussion

of the facts and factors bearing upon the case. Let the spoil of this great war be a universal peace, and lasting peace can come only by universal disarmament.

The true example of disarmament may be. had from America. For a hundred years no armies, forts or ships of war ha)ve been allowed on the northern United States border extending a distance of more than 4,000 miles. Yet over these borders have been many boundary disputes, some of them lasting for t-hirty-fi.ve years and there have been "Fenian" raids and threatened raids, and fishery disputes and national and international blunders, both in tariffs and diplomacy. Yet by the very absence of .armies, forts and war ships, guaranteed by the memorandum of agreement of a hundred years ago, all disputes have been adjusted as amicably over the border as between citizens on either side.

THE QUICK AND THE DEAD.

Terre Haute and other Indiana cities are preparing to celebrate disease prevention day on Friday. The motvement has attracted nation-wide attention and is being given encouragement from official and scientific circles. The Journal of the American Medical Association comments on the enterprise as follows:

Health administration in Indiana has for a long time past been vigorous and energetic, as it is in many of our other states. It has also been unique, peculiarly up-to-date and popular in its methods of attracting attention and affording instruction. The latest activity of the health forces of the state is thoroughly characteristic. Governor Ralston has issued a proclamation designating Friday, October 2, 1914, as disease prevention day. He urges the cities and towns throughout the state to make special arrangements for appropriate exercises emphasizing the importance of public health and the Joint responsibility of all citizens therefor in order to inspire in them a desire to co-operate in all sane efforts for the prevention of physical diseases. The state board of health has prepared a special bulletin containing a copy of the governor's proclamation and suggestions for the celebration of disease prevention day in the towns of Indiana. Some of these suggestions are terse and apt and deserve to be circulate^.

That the state board of health does not hesitate to follow its own suggestions is shown by the public-health side-show recently given at the Indiana state fair. A large circus tent was installed on the fair grounds with banners depicting health topics displayed in front after, the manner of the time-honored side-shoT*. The secretary of the State Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis acted as barker for the show and, through a megaphone, announced to the gathered crowds the attractions to be found within the tent. The Indianapolis Newsboys' band gave serenades at intervals in front to attract the people. Inside the tent, lectures illustrated with lanternslides and moving pictures, exhibits, charts and demonstrations on various health topics all served to emphasize the importance and value of health. It Is estimated that over twenty tHousand people passed through the tent during the state fair. This sort of a campaign will certainly have a marked result on public sentiment and eventually on permanent health conditions in the state. The people of Indiana are to be congratulated on having a state board of health that Is active and progressive and especially on having a broad-mind-ed, intelligent and public-spirited governor who is sufficiently interested in the welfare of his people to place himself at the head of the public-health movement in the state.

The Washington agent of the constitutionalists "hopes that Villa will reconsider." Hope is a wonderful thing, but reconsidering is a thing that Villa does with gt-feat difficulty.

The contest between the Mexican combatants Is unfair. Villa goes Into a headline so much better than Carranza that he is likely to get most of the publicity.

'Twas ever thus. The tracks are full of high-bred, high-toned fancy-named horses—and the big race of the season goes to a humble Hoosier plug named William!

If the A. B. C. mediators are not busy elsewhere they might offer their services at the city hall.

Jack Dillon complains that he can get no man to meet him. Well, there's Tom Perkins.

HOROSCOPE FOE A DAY.

Thursday, October 1, 1914.

Astrologers read in the stars for October many sinister signs, but they see promise of improved conditions in certain lines of trade. The lunation which fell in the fifth house, with Saturn in the ascendant, indicated much distress among wage earners and lack of employment which threatens serious conditions for the winter. The rule is particularly evil for whatever affects the public revenues, the saers declare, and the extravagant expenditures prophesied a year ago will drain national resources.

The planetary government for today is said to be not important. Mars and Saturn are strongly benenc in the early hours and later Uranus is mildly nclpful.

The rule is held to be an exceedingly lucky one for removals of every sort. Changes of residence are subject to the most auspicious guidance.

Under this configuration work for reforms or for (humanitarian enterprises shouM be most successful. It is foretold that the United States will engage in an International movement of wider scope than any previpusly attempted.

As the kindly sway of Uranus is supposed to be conducive to friendship between persons of opposite sex, this is a figure favorable for making new acquaintances or for pursuing old romances.

Old persons should benefit while this^ aspect prevails. There is an influence, it 1s said, that stimulates and encourages them, imparting buoyancy and hopefulness.

This should be a fortunate time for judges, lawyers and those ivho decide questions of, paramount importance. It is prophesied that legal matters will assume a new prominence and that American jurists will gain international fame.

Persons whose birthdate it is have a happy augury for the year. They should reap benefits through friends. Men are likely to engage In new enterprises which will bring large profits. Women will probably receive offers of marriage, but there is a sign that warns against hasty decisions.

Children born on this day have their magnetic centre in the Libra and Venus is their principal ruling planet. They should be well-balanced, talented and tactful. Girls /nay marry early.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30—The editor of The Medical Record says in a late issue that both the Germans and the allies are mistaken in their accusations concerning the employment of dumdum bullets in the present war. He says that the terrible injuries recorded were undoubtedly inflicted by the socalled Spitz bullets, but expresses tne belief that the mistaken accusations were made in good faith. These are the reasons he advances for his opinion, which appears beneath the caption: "The Dumdum Myth:" ,"The allies have made the same accusation against the Germans, and of course, are equally mistaken. The. explanation bf the error on both sides is not far to'seek. In an editorial comment on Colonel La Garde's recent work on Gunshot Injuries' in the Medical Record of May 2 we prophesied that there would be a return to inhumanity in the next war because of the use of the Spitz bullet recently introducd in Germany and adopted by several other armies, that of Great Britain and the United States among them.

The Armies

of England, France, Germany and Russia are not permitted to use a pound of alum baking powder. The efficiency of the soldiers depends too much upon their health and endurance to risk the use of food which the authorities believe would be detrimental. Therefore the manufacture and sale of the alum powder is prohibited.

Royal Baking Powder is extensively used privately and by the military forces throughout the world. Its absolute wholesomeness, imparting as it does, healthful as well as appetizing qualities to the food, and its perfect keeping qualities in every climate and£ under different conditions, make it particu-? larly desirable for all conditions of use.

ory, it has a tendency to turn sideways upon meeting any obstacle, although It will go through the soft parts making a small, clean-cut channel, and do little or no injury unless it hits a vital Organ. In the article on 'Gunshot Wounds' in the fourth volume of the 'Reference Handbook of the Medical Sciences,' Colonel La Garde says of this bullet:

The least resistance upsets it and in turning at great velocity the wounds it inflicts are very much lacerated and otherwise attended with destructive effects which are not unlike the wounds inflicted by crumdum bullets For this reason,^the new pointed bullet, is a gre'at disappointment "to military surgeons. In experiments which we conducted two years ago, we found the resistance encountered in the hip joint, chest and abdomen of cadavers sufficient to cause the bullet to turn and the resulting wounds were like those of an expanding or metai-patch bullet, Colonel Roosevelt, in his "Africa's Game Trails," refers to the wounds of the pointed bullet as~ having a slashing effect against large game. At 280 and again at 180 yards he brought down two bulls each with ofte shot, the bullet making a terrific rending compared with the heavier ordinary shaped bullet of the same composition.'"

wounds have been mistaken for the ex-w plosive leslbns of the dumdum bullets, and the accusation of the German emperor was therefore maae in good faith, but in curious ignorance of the effects of the missiles used by his own army.. Nevertheless, the dum-dum, or a similar bullet, has been occasionally used in this war, but by civilians. East Prussia, for instance. Is a game country, and the hunters there use the^ dumdum type of bullet in the chase. "The Russian invaders of that country have been frequently attacked by snipers who used their hunting rifles loaded with dumdums. It is possible that the civilian hunters In easte/n France did the same, and so occasional dumdums may have been found In the bodies of the German wounded, but that the armies of any of the sations now at war are using this bullet is altogether improbable. They have no occasion, to use it, for the .Spitz „bullet is 'arnVOst^destructive drfd"lts employment'is just as brutal," £«..
