A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The Press is right. With the advent
of spring there must be erected con-
siderable number Of tenement houses.
Not necessarily for the strangers that
are coming into our city, but for those
who are taking upon them the yoke
of married li1e,-sons and daughters
of old residents, who are not 50 well
favored as some, in that they can
not afford the luxury Of home of
their own.
In conversation with enc of our
real estate men, we were informed
but yesterday that there was not
half a dozen houses in the
whole city unoccupied and for
rent. Then, again; the erection of
tenement houses means work for the
unemployed and the circulation of
considerable money.
There are several men in Provo,
any one Of whom could pay for the
erection of fifty four-roomed residences.
Say that four or five of such men
go to work and each place an order
with Jour contractors for building a
row of cottages. What would it mean?
Why, that several thousand dollars
would be put into circulation, and
work given to carpenters, maSons, la
borers and others, besides being bless
ng TO those who are cooped up either
in six-by-ten domiciles CT in the back
room of some one else's residence.
THE DISPATCH hopes that the sug-
gestion advanced by the Press viii be
acted upon, and that several Of oul
respected citizens. who have the
wherewithal. will place an order with
our builders for the erection Of rent
able houses.

90 Soc in Flat Houses.

''You have a nice place here, remarked a
gentleman who had stepped into drug store,
evidently newly established, on one OF the
-----liy sro.+iss s---eronghfares in outlying
Brooklyn.
''Yes, replied the druggist, rather dubi
ously; st is only an experiment, though"
Rather an expensive one" continued the
first speaker, glancing at the handsome fix
lures and belongings.
oh laughed the druggist, that is at the
landlords expense, not mine"
Further conversation revealed the fact that
it is a common thing for owners Of fat
houses to ft up the ground floor in the most
complete manner for use as a drug store as
au inducemeu5 to a druggist tenant. Shelves,
lettered drawers, prescription counters, shelf
bottles, and the big window carafes holding
the colored liquids, ali these and moro are
contributed by the landlord In return he
expects to gain by a speedy rental of his
apartments, people being much more ready
to establish themselves over drug store
than over stores Of another sort-New York

Two men were standing outside Broad

the gorgeous display of glittcring jewels
that lay before them and criticising such

TRAVEL FOB CONSUMPTION.
Beneficial Effects of Open Air Life ON
Hereditary Subject.

Hereditary Subject.
Dr. Henry L. Bowditch has given the Gil
matologieal association an account of the
treatment which seems to have counteracted
I a strong tendency to consumption in his own
family. In 1908 his father, then 95 years old,
yas undoubtedly threatened with consump-
ton. On August 29 OF that year, when thus
Ill, he started from Salem, MISS, with a
friend as his companion and driver in an
open one horse chaise, for tour through
New England. The trip lasted thirty days
and covered 7S4 miles. During the time he
passed from the deepest mental discourage
ment and physical weakness through all
stages of feeling up to a real enjoyment of
life. His journey, though beneiting him i'm
mensely, probably did not wholly cure him,
but it proved to him the absolute need he'had
of regular daily physical, epen air exercise.
| Afberward under walks of one and half
/ to two miles, taken three times daily, all pull
monary troubles disappeared. He died, thirty
| years after the journey, from carcinoma OF
the stomach, his lungs being normal, except
that one presented evidences OF an ancient
cicatrix at its apex.
he prescribed for his children the same
regular out of door exercise which had been
SO beneficial to him. As soon as they were
old enough they were required to take daily
morning walks of about a mile and half.
If at any time they were observed to be
dropping, they were taken from school and
sent into the country to have Farm life and
out of door play to their hearts content In
consequence of this early instruction, all his
descendants have become thoroughly inn
pressed with the advantages of daily walk
| ing, of summer vacations in the country,
and of camping out, ETC., among the noun
tains. Dr. Bowditch's father had married
! his cousin, who, after long invalidism, died
of chronic phthisis in 1884 Certainly a con-
sanguineous union of two.consumpuives fore
boded nothing but evil.
Yet, of their eight children, six are either
now alive or they arrived at adult age, mar
ried, and have had children and grandchil-
dren, but not a trace of phthisis has appeared
in any of these ninety three persons
DR.. Bowditch sees nothing but the infu-
ence of out of door life to which this immu-
nifty of his family from consumption can be
attributed He has prescribed it, under
proper precautions, in his practice for years,
and says, in conclusion; 81 have no objection
to drugs, properly chosen; but if the choice
were given to me to stay in the house and
use medicines, or to live constantly in the
open air without them, I should infinitely
prefer the latter course in case Of my being
| threatened with pulmonary consumption.n-

ticed for all it is worth in some parts
of the country by means of double
fountain pen, one end of which is
filled with good substantial ink, the
other with ink that fades away in a

agreement, contract, or what
ever particular lay he may have
choeen, with the ink that fades, and
his victim signs with the other end of
the pen with the ink that lasts. In

nothing on it but good signature

Three Tramps Who Did Not Care to Stay
Here Longer.
Thomas Mcmahon, Clark Miller and Robert
Hall, two white and one colored, were in Judge
Kimbalrs court this morning as Migrants and
suspicious persons.
Their appearance indicated that they were
tramps.
The circus was what attracted them here, and
B. and o. Waterman Finane arrested them on
the railroad property.
One Of them arrived here on fast freight
from the west, but the others said that they
walked here.
The colored man said that he was on his way
to his home in New Orleans; that he had been
working on the Chesapeake bay and he came
here from Philadelphia. The third member of
the gang said that he had home on the York
road near Baltimore and he came here in the
employ of the circus, but when the train left
here the circus men would not let him get on
the train.
The judge was satisfied that the men were on
the road and he told them that the District did
not care to feed them. All that was wanted
was for them to leave the city.
II won't be here fifteen minutes II you give
them.
"And % win we," chorused the other two.
They were discharged on their own recog-
nizance to Leave during the day.
