States Proved to Be Breeding Places mi Tuberculosis ~V»*G It is the duty of the state to protect Its citizens--even ttrfSse condemned to pass a term of years in jail. The dan ger to the inmates of prisons, from pulmonary disease, has only lately Keen realized. A short time since a man who had served a sentence in the Ohio penitentiary, declared that to send him back meant death hy tuberculosis. Inquiry was made. The head physician announced that the building was a hotbed of consump tion. A prominent official stated that a ten years' sentence was equivalent to condemning a man to death--by pulmonary tuberculosis. Dr. S. A. Knopf, the greatest Ameri can authority pn tuberculosis, was In vited to visit the penitentiary. With out hesitation he pronounced it the most unsanitary penal institution he had erer seen. The output of many prisons Is enough to convince of the truth of the above statements. The 6allow com plexions, weakened bodies, sunken chests of the ex-convicts, all are the stamp of murderous prison hygiene. All the rales" for combatting the great white plague are reversed. For sun light, they .are given, darkness; for fresh air, a damp, musty atmosphere; for out-of-door life a weary in-door grind, a large part spent within the narrow confines of a single cell. Is it not enough to take from a fel low being his liberty and appropriate the labor of his hands, without forc ing him to live under such conditions? Dare the State continue to Condemn any of its citizens to such a death? Shall the sentence in a public prison cease at its legal expiration, or shall the poor \ictim continue to suffer from its dire effects until he fills a consumptive's grave? In this day of Anti-Tuberculosis agitation, it would seem that public institutions, whether asylums, schools, prisons or assembly halls should be the first to be brought under proper sanitary conditions. It is useless, hopeless to educate the masses in re gard to the cure and prevention ef tuberculosis and then maintain at public expense' fcotbeds for the de velopment of consumptives to be fin ally turned loose in tbe community. The Tdnic Use of Water. Cold water is the universal tonfe. The best time for taking a cold bath for tonic effect is just after getting cut of bed in the morning, when the body Is warm. A cold bath, should never be taken when one is chilled. One not accustomed to cold bathing should begin carefully with water not colder than 75 deg. F. The bath should be short, not to exceed a minute, and for feeble persons not more than fif teen or thirty seconds when applied to the whole surface. The bath should be Immediately followed by rubbing and exercise for fifteen to thirty minutes. There should always be good reaction; that is, the whole surface, including the hands and feet, should quickly become warm. The Lath should not be followed, by lan guor, headache, lassitude or other in dications of excessive reaction. When one experiences such symptoms, the indication is that the bath was too long or too cold or not followed by sufficient exercise. For feeble, very young or elderly persons the water used should rarely be lower than 65 degrees to 75 degrees in winter. The bath should be taken in a suitably warmed room. children. This should be remem bered in the artificial feeding of in fants. The milk should either be boiled or well scalded before being fed to the infant. This rule should b£ universally observed for adults as well as for children, and, if applied, will save thousands of lives annually; A Safety Valve. In the Ladies' Home Journal a writer tells of an. interesting visit which he paid when a boy to the "Autocrat cf the Breakfast .Table." After breakfast Dr/ Holmes tdfeok the boy into a basement room, whi<!h was fitted up as a complete carpenter's shop, and gave him the following ad vice, which he considered would be of more value to him than anything he had ever written: "You know I am & doctor, and this shop is my medicine. I believe that every man must have a hobby that is as different from his regular work as it is possible to be. It is not good for a man to work all the time at one thing. So this is my hobby. This is my change. I like to putter away at these things. Every day I try to come down here for an hour or so. It rests me because it gives my mind a complete change. For, whether you believe it or not," he added, with his inimitable chuckle, "to make a poem and to make a chair are two very different things. "Now, if you think you can learn something from me, learn that, and remember it when you are a man. Don't keep always atf your business, whatever it may be. It makes no difference how much you like it. The more you like it, the .more dangerous it is. When you grow up, you will understand what 1 mean by an 'out let.' Eyery man must have an 'out let'--a hobby--that is, in his life, and it must be so different from his regu- laf work that it will take his work into an entirely different direction. We doctors call it a 'safety valve/' and it is. I would much rather," con? eluded the poet, "joa would forget all that 1 have ever written than that you should forget what I tell you about having a -safety valve."- As We Live, We Are. If we look down, then our shoulders stoop. If our thoughts look down, then our character bends. It is only when we hold our heads up that our body becomes erect. It is only when our thoughts go up that our life be comes erect. Physiology in English Public Schools. Sixteen thousand English physi cians have signed a petition request ing Parliament to inaugurate syste matic Instruction1 in the public schools of Great Britain in relation to the preservation ot health, especi ally in relation to the evil effects of alcoholic drinks. V It is hoped that this petition will be granted, For a Cold. Tbe daily cold bath is one of Hi* nost effective safeguards against taking cold. Of equal importance is abundance of fresh air in the sleep ing apartment. Upon the first symp toms of "a cold,", deep breathing ex ercises in the open air or in a well ventilated room should be taken at frequent intervals. In nearly all cases where this simple treatment is taken, there will be no further de velopment of the cold, and thes symp toms will disappear. A doctor con nected with a large Institution for children recently tried this method trpon tbe inmates with surprising suc cess. "There is nothing," he writes, "more irritable than a cough. For a time I have been so fully, assumed of this that I determined, (or one min ute at least, to lessen the number of coughs heard In a certain ward of the hospital of the institution. By the promise of rewards and punish ments, I succeeded In'having the chil dren simply hold their breath when tempted to cough, and In a little while I was myself surprised to see how some of the children entirely recov ered from the disease. "Let a person, w&en tempted to cough, draw a long breath, and hold it until it warms and soothes every air-cell, and some benefit will soon be received from this process. The nitrogen which is thus refined acts as an anodyne to the mucous mem brane. allaying the desire to cough, aqd giving the throat and lungs a chance to heal." RECIPES. Slaughter of the Innocents. A study of statistics reveals the ter rible fact that nearly one-half of all the human beings born Into, the world die before the age of five ye&rs. In the city of Stetten. Germany, nearly one-half--473 out of every thousand-- die during the first year of their lives. In Ireland, Scotland, Norway and Swe den, where ..children are given better care, haveL more outdoor life, and more intelligent attention is given to feeding, the number of deaths is only one-fiftieth as many as in the city of Stetten, being ten per cent. Physicians are coming to recognize that the use of cow's milk, which is infected with the germs of tubercu losis, is one of the most active of all the causes of death among young " Remarkable Pension Claim. George Staff, a Civil War veteran, living near Prospect, Pa., has a pecu liar claim against the government for back pension, amounting to fl,400. He was discharged at the close of the war and given $12 a month for disa bilities. Some years ago Staff, while living near in Beaver county, was the subject of lunacy proceedings insti tuted by the local authorities, and as a result was sent to Dixmont and later to Danville. Here he was allowed considerable freedom, and acting on the suggestion of a farmer whom he frequently visited, Staff decamped. He resided in turn in Virginia, Ohio and Missouri, and then drifted back to his native county. He bases his claim on the ground that he has been restored to his rights for a number of years and is entitled to the back pen sion. He seems in full possession of his faculties. m -- ' K .

Barnes of New Hampshire, who was collector of cus toms about fifty years ago in Boston, was confined to his bed in his last sickness, about six weeks before his death he sent In haste for his physi cian and upon the doctor's arrival said: "I'm dyin', doctor, I'm dyin'." The physician ridiculed the idea, and reaching under the bed clothing said: "Mr. Barnes, your feet are w-rn3. Did you ever know of any one djing with warm feet?" The answer came back quick aa a flasfy: "Yes, John Rogers did." Ian Vegetarian.

It is stated- in Washington, that under the Townsend rate bill, if a rate is fixed by the Commission it cpnnot be lowered by a railroad. Should an emergency arise calling for a decreased rate, the railroads or shippers would have to appeal again to the Commission, there being no l&titude allowed, whatever the cir cumstances. Hitherto a maximum rate has been the rule, but no such concession is made under the pro posed legislation.

Eloquence Shut Off. Supreme Court Justice Hasbrouck, who succeeded D. Cady Herrick on the bench, has a tender regard for young attorneys. The reason for this feeling was created by a little experi ence which befell him early in his public career. When but 23 years old he was sent from the Second dis trict of Ulster county to represent it in the state assembly. Imbued with a full sense of his importance, he had the temerity tp get upon hip-^e^. in opposition to a pending measure.^ He had talked for some moments, and was taxing eloquent, as" he thought, when an old mepaber whis pered behind his hand in a tone that could be heard in eyery corner of the assembly chamber: "Sit down, babe,; sit down." The young assemblyman's elo quence had a stroke of apoplexy.-- New York Times. A Subject for Chiropody. General Nelson A. Miles relates the story of a cowboy guide who put up one night at a tavern that was. by reason of some festivity in the little town in which it was located, taxed to its capacity. The guide found him self placed in a room with a .stranger, but the tavern keeper .assured him that the arrangement would l&ove sat isfactory for the reason that his bed fellow'was a mild-mannered man from the East. Somewhat tired, the guide retired early. Determined to have at least half of the bed, he strapped his spurs to his ankles. Apparently the Eastern man, when he eventually went to bed, was seriously inconveni enced, for during the night he awoke the guide and said: "Pardon me, sir; -but, if you're a gentleman, you will trim your toe nails."--Success Magaztne. MRS. MINNIE McALLISTER. A Tale Of Suffering. Oakletf?

If I sat down I could not get .up out of my chair. I "was in pain all the time. ' I got poor for I did not eat enough to keep a small child. I could not rest nights. " "Then I sent for a box of Dodd'a Kidney Pills and went to taking them and what do you think, that very night I went to bed and I slept till mocning. I got up and thanked God for the night's rest and Dodd's Kid ney Pills. I know that Dodd's Kid ney Pills are all that Is claimed for them."

Victoria Is the largest fruit-produc ing state v in Australia. About ten years ago a few pairs of English star- Hngs were Introduced, with the expec tation that they would help to ke«fe)A down the insects that infest fruit trees. The birds have raised five broods a year and the few pairs have DOW become myriads. The laws passed for their protection have been repealed and apparently futile efforts are being made to exterminate them, for they have become the worst en emy of the Australian fruit industry. All kinds of fruits, from the grape and strawberry to the apple and peach, have become their favorite food, and they save the farmers the trouble of harvesting. Brought in as a blessing, they are now a pest. The Chattanooga Times says of "The Frontiersman," by Charles Eg bert Craddock, "Never were the Great Smoky mountains and the Blue Lick springs, the early forts, the log houses and their valiant defenders, so exquisitely depicted as in this vol ume."
