Spreading Contagton.

Diphtheria and scarlet fever have
ragged with especial violence in MANY
localities the past summer and the pres
ent winter. One peculiar fact is that
they have been, more prevalent and
deadly in several country districts than
In the cities. The contagion from them
has spread more widely. the mortality
has been greater. The same is true of
typhoid fever. which, although not con-
tagious IN one sense. is certainly apt to
spread through family or neighbor-
hood when once it gets foothold.
Physicians attribute much of the IA
tality and wide spread of the diseases
named to the rural method Of conduct
ing funerals. Certainly in case of
death from scarlet fever and diphtheria.

Men Who Accomplish the Most.

Along with his wit and general pleas
ant talk Mr. Chapncey NJ. Depew occa.
sionaily gives out a good solid section OF
wisdom. A section of this kind that is
worth laying up for reference is his ut
terance about the necessity to workers
for fun and recreation. He saws that
early IN his career he looked about him
and saw the great number of business
men who had gone to pieces physically.
de made up his mind that the only safety
lay IN variety of occupation. Unless a
man could relieve the strain by excur-
slons into other fields, and especially
such fields as would keep up his cheer
fulness and hopefulness, he was gone.
This Is genuine Nineteenth century
gospel Ignorance of it has strewn the
road to uccess all along each side with
the wrecks of those who ought to have
been splendid men physically and finan-
c1ally. To do good work it is an absolute
necessity that person shall switch his
mental machinery off to some channel
which gives rest and recreation" saws
Mr. Depew, using a mixed railroad
nautical smile. Carrying work home
from office or factory produces Sleep |
lessness.
What the famous dinner orator saws
about the man who really accomplishes
the most work is likewise worth pom
dering

they were not ably assisted, would ruin the
properties which they control, even if they

Health of War Veterans.

actually enlisted is put in round mum
bers at 100000 OF these, from the
best data obtainable there are yet sur.
viving 1,20S, 700. 1t has been found that
the death rate among old soldiers was
highest in the first ten years immedi-
ately after the war During this time
the veterans most severely injured or
the worst diseased died rapidly. Then
the rate grew lighter, The weakest had
been eliminated. the more robust lived
on.
1t is the death rate the last twenty
years that is the real test Of whether
army life injured or improved the health
of the soldier. That there were individ
ual instances in which it was greatly i'm
proved there is no doubt. The regular
drill In the open air brought into play

tending to produce greater lung ca

constituting what we call a healthy Or
ganlsm." As to diet, DR.. Billings does
not say it, but the food the northern sol
der had was in many cases more health
tul than he had at home. The cooking
was simpler and the heavy, soggy prepa-
ratlons many persons habitually put into
their stomachs under the form of pie.
cake and hot bread were conspicuously
wanting. All this was favorable to long
life and sound digestion as far as it
went.
But there were other factors at work
on the other side-exposure to all wealth
ers, mental anxiety, marching through
'wamps and districts haunted by mala-
ma. This told IN the course of four
Years and lessened the veterans chances
or life afterward In the last twenty
'ears the average of deaths among the
'x-soldiers has been slightly higher than
hat of men Of the same age who were

Iuently seems to be that pension rolls

robably keep pace with the list of those

Or drawing conclusions are too incom-
lete to be the basis of any formulated
tatement, and this DIR. Billings recog- {
ICES. He says. however:
We must conclude that while the health Of
'me men has been improved by their military
'rvtce during the war, even to the preserva-
on OF lives that would have been lost had the
~ners remained exclusively in civil life. the
eaith OF the average veteran has been dete- ,
GRATED by his service, and that he suffers

Il PARALLEL CASE

<tIlhLIhL CANE
A proposition to bond Snohonisl
county for $3.50 600 for general road i'm
provements has just been defeated by
vote of nearly three 10 one. The propo
sition was strikingly similar to the on,
now before the people of this county
A Snohomish dispatch elassifies the
causes of the defeat as follows:
First-There was an outcry all oyer the
country last summer at the excessive
valuation placed upon taxable property
by the county commissioners. This high
valuation by the commissioners embit-
tered large number Of persons against
them-especially among the farmers-and
any OF their subsequent acts was sure to
meet with opposition.
Seeond-Thls was the third attempt the
commissioners had made to bond the
county, and In both the other cases thew
had been compelled TO declare the cleo
tion off on account of the illegality of
their proceedings just prior to the cleo
ton.
Third-They had recently bonded the
county for some $4,000.
Fourth-For some cause or another
there was an almost universal distrust
against permitting the commissioners to
handle such large sum Of money. Even
Edmonds, the home of County Commits
sioner Brown, only gave three votes in
favor OF the proposition, while the city
OF Snohomish, which would have re-
eeived more benefit than any other
point in the county. had the bonds /
carried, gave heavy majority against
IL.
In this county complaints of excess
i've valuations are heard from all see
lions, many claiming that their prop
erty has not only been assessed for
more than it would bring at forced
sale but for more than they ask at
private sale. Quite naturally they are
averse to assuming heavy additional
burden upon such basis.
This is the second time road bond
ing proposition has been submitted to
the voters of this county within two
years. In both instances the commits
sioners were fully justified in submit
ting the question, and in both instances
the propositions were so formed that
nothing but defeat could reasonably
be expected. If the proposition !
upon which vote was taken Deem
Der %, 1890, had been just to Fairhaven
it would have carried. If the present
proposition was free from legal obiec- ,
tions, more specific and guarded by
proper restrictions as to expenditures,
it would carry. As it is, however there l
is no hope for it.
In respect to present indebtedness,
Whatcom county is worse off than
Snohomish county, having recently is ?
sued bonds to the amount of $500 900 |
to redeem outstanding warrants. e
So far as the present question is con- t
cerned, it does not signify that this q
action on the part of the commits /
sioners, in funding at six per cent. the :
floating ten per cent debt, was dictated b
by sound business judgment. t
As to the fourth count in the Sno- q
homish indictment against the bonds s
here the parallel holds good here only q
n a general way. There is no "uni-
versal distrust" of the present board of u
commissioners, but there is widespread n
objection to entrusting the expenditure u
