PURE AIR AND COLDS.
Consumation is Contagious but Is
Not a result OF Cold Weather.
New Bedford Standard

Daniel c. Potter of Fairhaven read a paper
on Sanitation and Ventilation on the farm
before the South Bustal Farmers Club the
lence Of lung diseases. The general opinion
is that the climate predisposes to them. New
England is regarded as a Upas valley, where
no one who takes cold easily can afford to
remain. The former custom of immigration
to Florida, California and Italy is falling
into desuetude; in fact, the prejudice in
California against consumption is becoming
as strong as that against the Chinese. for the
disease, introduced there, has become cpl
demic: Iceland, Greenland and Alaska are
the only countries where consumptiop disc-ss
not exist. Mr.. Potter believed that the
remedy Is at home. Life should be in the
open air as much as convenient. Pure air,
Try or wet, hot or cold, is not the cause of
colds, but IL Is the cure. Colds are generally
caused by exposure to vitiated air instead of
cold air. People, brought into hospitals with
frozen noses seldom take cold. Nobody
caught cold on the steamship City of Colum
bus. Soldiers In camp do not have colds.
OF the 100000 men that enlisted in the
Union army from 1861 to 1866. more are alive
now than would have been with
out the experience of the war. Cold
air destroys Infection, and covers multi
tude of hygienic sins. That cold air is an
agreeable tonic who can doubt that sees a
boy five years old pranclng and squealing out
OF doors ON cold morning, with his grand
mother carrying an 0verc0at in vain pursuit?
When we boys used to break through Ice,

deep, and tramp round all day with wet feet.
no bad result followed unless on: mothers
found it out Consumption is germ dis
ease, and the germs are innOcuOus to healthy
lungs well supplied with pure air. La
grippe, like the Levite, will pass by on the
other side of those who are much in the
open air and live in well ventilated houses,
The old long kitchen with a fireplace and
loose windows was healthier than the
present alright houses warmed with
alright stoves. Tuberculosis among cat

people and ricn government support

alright barns. The foul air habit is worsa
than the drink habit. Ten persons die with

hol. 1t Is better to wake in the morning

| cess can be charged to the pure air as good
| Investment. A cold can be cured in day OF

than Is often estimated. We do not want to
| live to be old, but we want to live and still
| feel young.

The sudden death of Mr.. Walker Blaine
will be great shock to his many friends In
this state. His death followed so quickly
the announcement of his illness that they
were little prepared to receive the sad news.
Mr. Blaine was man of marked talent and
in the several important public positions
which he had held had displayed qualities
that well fitted him for public career of
much usefulness to the nation and credit to
himself His death at this time, while just
on the threshold Of his career, seems to NOR

New York Special, May q.
The annual address which Bishop Little
john delivered yesterday at the conference
of the Episcopal church OF the diocese OF
Long Island. held in the Cathedral of Gar
den City, caused something OF a commo-
ton. The chief matter touched on was the
public schools, the want of morality and
religion. which he contended the Catholic
church was responsible for. The system as
present maintained, he said, would not
last, and he urged the appointment of a
committee to act with other denominations
70 secure the desired reforms. He also
suggested vigorous warfare against the
dissertation of the Sabbath, or in other
woods, against Sunday ball playing.

the school question at length and pointing
out the want of religious training, shat

problem of more intense energy and ulti-

But certainly what il has said and done

unchalienged traditions and with the gen
erai consent and approval of the vast
majority of the American people. When

81. Part, May IA Pioneer Pres New
York special says. The significance OF the
ocsting from the Pacific Nail directory
and presidency Of George Gould by the
stockholders yesterday is growing on the
financial community. The recent heavy
buying of the stock of the company was 81

but subsequent developments brought to
light the fact that the buying for control
was the work OF another element. which
has not heretofore even been suspected Of
any designs on the company. United
States Senator Calvin s. Brice ard General
Samuel Thomas prove to have been large
purchasers OF stock, and. together with the
holdings Of the ansi-Gouid people who
were already IN the board, had IN over
whelming majority.
The elevation OF the Brice-T Nc
Ghee element in the directory is of especial
interest and importance These three men
are enemies of the Northern Pacific, and
General Thomas is director in the Cana
dian Pacific road, another competitor of
the Northern Pacific and an ally of the
Great Northern. The natural inference is
that the new management will be inimical
to that transcontinental line. One of the
new directors said today.
The election OF the new board means the
infusion of fresh lfe-blood and money into
the Pacific Mail. Our plans are not yet
matured. but it is proposed to bring all the
Pacific steamship lines into harmony
and stop the present rate war. which is
now to the disadvantage of all parties.

CARE OF LITTLE CHICKS.
Cooked Food Recommended in Cold
Weather.
Country Gentleman.


Country Gentleman.
This may be IN old question 10 old suhscrib-
ers but As we began with this year. would like
to have some advice as TO the best feed for little
chicks Heretofore VIC have made mixture OF
corn meal. sour milk and eggs, baked II. then
mosstened and fed q little at time about every
two or three hours, when the chicks are small.
Our neiehbors say bran and sour milk is just as
good but we have no success with il.
GKEELEY, Colo. MRS L. 8 D.
What to feed young chicks that will
make them grow and thrive such a season
as this. Is q subject worthy of considerable
discussion. When the 'spring is warm, dry
and bright, as it was last year. the little
fellows lived and grew like magic, with
never sign OF roup or dysentery, and but
few cases OF gapes. But the inciemencics
OF this spring battle even the most expe-
rienced and careful poultry raisers March
brought winter weather. cold winds and
snow, which, with the change from snow
to cold rains. has continued straight along
far into the usually pleasant month of
May.
different regimen therefore is REQUIRED
for the young chicks in order to help them
survive the untoward season. Their food
must be richer and more stimulating. and
as the rainy weather renders il necessary
to confine the broods to q more limited
range. they require two or three extra
meals per day. Crumbled egg shells for
the little ones and grit for the older ones
must also be supplied: ali their surround
ings. feed pans. drinking troughs, etc.
should be kept Clean and neat, and their
yard busted frequently with lime Nv ex-
rerniece teaches that cooked food should
be fed exclusively until the chicks are one
month old. Their bread is best made of
equal parts of corn meal and whole wheat
-four. or OF wheat bran and middlings.
The batter is made up with eggs and butter
milk. and jest enough soda put in to coun-
teract the acid OF the milk and make the
bread light and porus. IL should be en-
riched either by pouring dripping into the
bat9r, or by mixing finely chopped
meat with the bread after it is cooked. FOR
their morning meal, which should be
warm and slightly moist. soften the bread
with hot sweet milk. usually placing the
pan on the stove to simmer until the mix
ture IS pretty stif, az soft sloppy messes
should never be given Table scraps and
all sorts OF cold vegetables are very whole
some, especially onions and mashed posa-
toes; and when chicks are confined, some
sort OF green vegetables. as raw onion tops
and lettuce must be supplied
Care must be taken to let them have the
benefit OF ali the sunshine possible, and
yet 10 project them from calling rains and
heavy dess.
In cool damp weather. season their food
with red pepper. which stimulates and
helps 10 keep them warm and lively Black
pepper is also good. especially ii they seem
inclined to dyesnsery and "a a ganer.l

As this, prove exceedingly beneficial.
