SOUTH AFRICA
IS CELEBRATING
# \
Cape Town. Oct. 26. With a great
military parade and review today,
('ape Town commenced a celebration
of the Union of South Africa, which
will continue through next week and
the week following and will include
the opening of the first Par lament by
the Duke of Connaught and a series
of magnificent pageants Illustrating
the history of the various states form
ing the Pnlon.
During the festivities Doer and
Drltisher will meet on common ground
and various floats will illustrate the
bravery and patriotism of the Doers
in their long but hopeless battle for
liberty. A majority of the people of
the Transvaal now realize that their
country was too small to become a
successful Independent nation, under
the conditions prevailing In South Af
rica. and that the annexation of the
country by Great Drltlan has given
them distinct advantages In the way
of trade and commerce and the de
velopment of Industries. The next,
generation of Doers will probably be
as loyal subjects of the King as any
In the Empire.
Mrs. H. K. Davis of larger was
brought to St. Duke's hospital last

TO QUIT SEAS
London, Oct. 26. Ixird Braaaoy,
who holds tho world's record for dis
tance traveled as a'yachtsman, today
celebrated his thirty-eighth year iih a
master mariner by announcing bis in
tent Ion of quitting the seas. Lori
Br&ssuy, who is in his seventy-fifth
year, 1ms Just completed what lie de
clares was Ills Imhi voyage on the fu
moiiB yacht Sunbeam.
There is scarcely a port in the
world to which the Sunbeam Is not
familiar and the wanderings of the
trim craft over ocean anoriver fmfTi
ways constitute a record which no
other yachtman may hope to equal,l
tile distanco traversed being over
1577,000 natural miles.
During bis lust cruise, Lord Bras
sy paid un extensive visit to Canada
for the purpose of studying Immigra
tion problems. A sociologist and poli
tical economist whose views have
weight with British ollleialdmn, Lord
liqiHsey on his tours lias always com
bined business with pleasure, and bis
invetlgutlona In far lands bordering
on ail the seven seas Have served to
solve ninny interesting problems.
Lord Brassy holds thnt the problems
Of unemployment nnd pauperism
which now confront Orest Brit Ian will
find their best solution in sending tho
young people to westorn Canada, Aus
Irnlla and other unsettled portions of
the Empire. On his travels he has
acquired data regarding thousands of|
men who were veritable paupers In
England -men apparently doomed to
the extreme poverty or crime—and
who In new lands have acquired posi
tions of respect and comparative
wealth.
HI OF DOG IS
GOOD FOR BITE
lies Moines, la., Oct. 1P>.— If the the
ologians arc correct, all the sin in the
world Including drunkenness Is due
to Kve'g hunger for an apple. It lias
remained for an Iowa physician. Hr.
Kamuel Bailey, to disover that Provi
dence has provided compensations,’
and that the fruit which caused the]
fall of man may now l>. a means of
Ills regeneration. Working along I lie I
theory that like cures, the doctor has
discovered that apples are a tare for
drunkenness. Hundreds of confirm d
“souses,’’ led astray by the seductive
ness of the Jutre of the grape r»r tie
distilled nectar of rye and corn, haw*
taken, the apple cure and now find
themselves sober and respectable men
loved and honored by all who know
them.
Organizations devoted to temper
nnce propaganda in various parts of
♦ be country have been convinced of
the usefulness of Hr. Halley's dis
cover ry and are preparing to spread
the glad tidings.
In taking the apple cure, the pa
♦ lent is required to eat an apple when
ever he f els the desire for drink
coming on. If tone apple fails to nl
lay the craving, several should be
eaten. In a majority of cases, the
Juices of the fruit will allay the Irrita .
tton and enable the “souse" to pass
hy the corner saloon without even
hooking in. If this course Is verserv
ed In, it Is alleged, the wo
t»rd \. ill eventually find hhns h
to resist the desire or drink.
