DIR. Robertson, late Manchester
surgeon, after a lengthy investiga-
ton, concludes that many of the
ills and diseases of women, are due
to the fact that the introduction of
modern labor-saving appliances about
the household have greatly lessened
the facilities for proper home exer-
else. In his practice as specialist
for womens' diseases he found,
" that in women who performed oil
their household work, there was no
trace of certain complaints; that
these complaints begin to make their
appearance in women with one ser
want, become m,re pronounced IN
women who have two servants, or
worse still with those who have three
servants, and no on. He showed
statistically that tho deaths from
child birth were four times greater
in the case of women with four ser
wants than those with none." III it
be really true, then, that labor-ssving
machinery can b carried to excess,
as il relates to domestic economy, 1t

How to Disinfect.

In view of the late havoc made at
the South by the yellow fever, and
throughout the country generally by
diphtheria, the boards of health OF
many of the large cities in the At
jantic States are actively discussing
the question as to what are the best
ventilating and disinfecting pro-
cesses. This is by no means a new
topic, but, on the contrary, is as old
rs civilization and the recent disturb
ance in the sanitary condition of the
country is just beginning to show
how universally some of the most
common laws Of health are violated.
Eminent physicians, whose reputa-
tion is at stake, are justly troubled In
regard to this matter, and city coun-
ellis themselves are gravely exercised
when they are called to audit en-
ormous bills contracted solely On &C
count of dereliction in duty and neg
Ggence in the simplest details OF
their administration. The fact is
becoming clearly evident that the
luxury of the rich and the squalor OF
the poor are dangerous extremes to
exist in an over crowded city; and
now, just how and in what way to
remedy the evil, is the important
question. AS live individuals, so
live communities and nations. A
few nntidy households will make an
untidy town, while such towns them
selves largely 60 to determine the
general makeup of the nation.
Chemical analysis and rnicroscop-
ical research have pretty thorough
" established the theory that all
epidemic diseases, as we'll as those
of the more contagious sort, have
their respective and peculiar germs
or seeds. These seeds though some
times enthusiastically small, are actu-
ally planted, take root, sprout and
grow as truly as grain of wheat
goes through similar transformations.
Miasmatic particles, charged with
the elixir of death, are constantly
arising from damp accumulations of
Filth. In truth, the two conflicting
processes o: life and death are ever
going on side by side. Every parti-
ole Of matter in nature, which is not
life-sustsinins, is death-producing.
The sooner this foundation principle
= made. known and thoroughly I'M
dssstood by every intelligent human
hing, the sooner will the world b.
soos . physically hsalthful world.

RATHER q serious affair happened
at the Cowlitz railroad bridge, Thurs
day. AS the train from Kalama
was crossing the bridge, engineer
Mccoy accidently fell from his en-
CINE through the trestle-work to the
bottom OF the ravine, a distance OF
about sixty feet, and was picked up,
as was supposed in a dying condition.
DR.. Harvey, Of Portland, who was
fortunately on |oard, attended to the
wants of the Injured man as we'll as
circumstances would allow. The
left ankle of Mr.. Mccoy was dislo-
Gated and fractured, his right knee
badly cut and his left side consider
ably bruised. He was laid upon a
hastily constructed bed and taken to
Tacoma. DIR. Harvey, who came to
this place last night. reports that he
left his patient in comfortable con-
dition.

Let no one lie startled because "a
speak o. the business Of advertising :.
rs an art, or science, for indeed il J
really deserves to be Chased a both
m art and science. Should any,
body feel disposed to discredit such
an assertion, We have only TO point
them to the great milliopaires Of the
world, who have amassed their
princely fortunes solely on account
Of their skill aud persistence in adj
vertisins. "A little knowledge l. q
dangerous thing" and SO, We have
often thought, it is in advertising.
For a business man 10 commence
advertising and then give it up be-
cause it does not Immediately pay, is,
nine times ont Of ten, the very means
that breaks him up, financially and
socially. Advertising. like virtue,
enriches both the dispenser and the
recipient. Not only were Stewart
and Barnum made immensely rich
by advertising. but the great jour
nalists themselves whom they SO
muni6cently patronized, were en-
abled, in the end, to count their
money by millions. The Just and
proper way TO view this subject is,
to consider it . kind of joint-stock
concern. Let o shrewd fnancier
and a talented journalist 60 into
partnership, the one to commence
the manufacture and sale of some
article of indispensable public utili-
ty, and the other to talk it up before
twenty millions of consumers in
popular newspaper, and note the
result. Now this is exactly the
kind of understanding that ought
to exist between every newspaper
proprietor and his smallest adver-
tiser. They are actually partners in
business, the one the maker and
seller and the other the taker,
drummer, harpist, or whatever he
may be called. We believe the
views we have here taken are the
correct ones, and they should be
adopted by all the intelligent and
eminent business men and journal
lists throughout the civilized world.
There are cases to which reference
might be made, where patent med
icine men and newspaper men have,
in point of fact, ertired into just
such an understanding as we have
cited, the business of jointly making
and advertising a nostrum for year
or longer aud then dividing tho pro-
fits according to original agreement
One thing is most certain. No busf~
ness can succeed unless it is in some
way brought before the eyes and
ears of the people. Let any one
consider, for a moment, the mean
ing of the term "advertise," to "turn
towards" to "spread BEFORE" to
disseminate" etc., etc. Is it any
wonder, then, that many men, from
small beginnings become immensely
wealthy by advertising? An eminent
merchant who had amassed large
fortune on being asked for the secret
of his success, answered, "Ry adj
vertising, and when I had nothing to
advertise, I went into something for
the sake Of advertising; advertising,
sir, has been the business of my
life."
All, here then, is the true solution
of the whole matter; the real pbilos-
opher's stone. Do any of our bust
ness friends see the point we have
been striving to make? Then let
them make q note of these things.

A dealer in this golden bovine pro-
duc.ion. duly appreeiating what We
have, from time to time, said about
cheese, wants 20 know when We are
gong to wade into butter. We be-
livve it was the great Nasty VIII
wanted to know why sentimental
song writers did not, now and then,
give the old man a dig. rs we'll rs
dear mother" Well, we confess
that We have dug" pretty well into
cheese. Of late. although we have
not been entirely silent on the but
ter question. Now. to make a good
article, few primary principles we'll
followed will suffice. As We init
mated some time ago, cleanliness in
all the various manipulations is,
par e.rcellence, the great thing to DO
desired. For obvious reasons, this
precept has o more important ap-
plication in the manufacture of but
ter than cheese. That we may be
the better understood, however, we
will state that cheese is q clear il
lustration of a purely chemical pro-
duct, and hence, is not susceptible
of local minor influences. That is
to say, slight negligences are entire
ly obliterated and, as it were,
covered up by the more potent
chemical action which is going on
from the beginning to the end of the
process. On the contrary, butter is
only mechanically derived from the
| milk and therefore wonderfully sus'
ceptible of the minutest oversight IN
the preliminary operations.
The fact that COW is fed upon
innutricious or unwholesome food,
ill-housed or slovenly kept in any
manner, may be immediately de-
tected in the butter which she pro-
duces, while Che cheese made from
her milk, being. rs we have stated,
Ca new creation" remains intact
from such influences. Experienced
farmers oil agree that quite a diff
ferent kind of feedingis required to
produce the finest butter from that
! which would make good cheese,
The chemical analysis of milk from
COWS variously fed and treated, sus'
tains this assertion, and it becomes
the practical farmer to have clear
understanding of the nutritious quail
tiles Of all kinds of food consumed
by mich COWS.
Government commissions and agri-
cultural colleges are doing Won
ders in calculating these things, once
so little understood by the great
mass of the rural population. We
once more earnestly call farmers,
dairymen especially, to procure, each
year, the report Of the Commissioner
OF Agriculture.
