LOOK TO YOUR CELLAR.

Extract from q Lecture by DIR. j. III. Kel-
logR, Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Many mothers who wonder ''why
some of the children are sick all the
time" can find the cause underneath
the floor. Nearly all houses have cell
lars. Here are stored all sorts of things
for winter use-dead things and live
things, articles to eat and fuel to burn,
old boxes and barrels, heaps of coal,
bins of vegetables, etc. The coal
and wood are constantly sending
up foul gases. Many Of the vege-
tables undergo decay, and add great
~ to the formation of disease
producing elements. The germs of de-
cay are so plentiful and work with such
rapidity that ordinary precautions as
to cleanliness will not render absolute
ly safe a cellar located underneath q
dwelling.
Again, fruits and vegetables breathe
In manner similar to animals and SO
exhaust as well as contaminate the sur
rounding air. 1t is popularity supposed
that plants purify the air in which they
are growing, and so they do to a GER
tain extent by using up some of the
SaA o0AiS nCIu gas, OuL Lney also
contain some oxygen, and in this
way they are drain upon the
life-giving elements of the air. But
after fruit or a vegetable has reached
maturity, it ceases to consume carbonic
acid gas while stiu consuming oxygen.
1t then throws off q certain amount Of
carbonic acid gas as before, however,
and in tightly-closed cellars or store
rooms the amount of this gas has been
known to be so great as TO produce
suffocation.
Besides the cellar there is usually an
open space under the other portions Of
the house between the foundation
walls. This space is large enough to
admit chickens, dogs. cats, rats and
even pigs and other small animals, but
not sufficiently large to allow room for
cleaning it. Here various small ami
mails find hiding place and often die.
Being out of sight and reach, they are
not discovered even when the stencil
of their decaying bodies become dis
tinotly manifest. by Helen

A DANGEROUS LOT.
The Minnesota Senate is Composed of Ca
IamitY HOwlers and Socialists

The Minnesota Senate Is Composed of Ca
l3mity HOwlers and Socialists.
Another nest of calamity howlers and
socialists has been unearthed by the
newspapers. The individuals compos-
ing it seem to be of the most revolu-
tionary and dangerous kind, without
any regard for property rights what
ever. In eXtenuation of the neglect of
the police to raid this lot of social dis
turbers it might be said that it is the
senate of the state of Minnesota, and
that even the police are somewhat diff
dent about calling men with a political
pull to order for expressing their opin-
| ions.
The disclosure of the real character
| of the lawmakers of our neigh Dor state
came when Senator Donnelly proposed
new plan for getting even with the
| coal combine. The plan is embodied in
a memorial to congress which recites
| that the greater part of the anthracite
coal deposits are in the hands
of few corporations, who by
mbination have levied at least hun
dred million of dollars of tribute upon
| the people Of the land, at the same time
| decreasing the wages of their work.
men, degrading American citizenship
and endangering republican institu-
tions. Congress is asked to exercise
| tn right of eminent domain and enter
upon these coal lands to hold and ad-
minister them as public trust for the
benefit of all the people. In support of
it Senator Donnelly said: ~The anthra-
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania are con-
trolled by six corporations, which have
the people of this land by the throat.
They recently raised the price of coal
81 ton, and they have the legal right
to raise it s. higher if they so desire.
| Corporations possess immortal life and
there is no telling where the exactions
will end"
And then every senator but one voted

BREAD OR BLOOD.
In the Land of the Free Men Fight aud
Eie For n Loaf of Bread.

In the Land of the Free Men Fight aud
Eie For Loaf of Bread.
The Industrial Union gives this
graphic picture of conditions in the
great city of Cincinnati
On last Friday, in the city of Cincin-
nti, as a bakers wagon was on its usual
round delivering bread to customers,
the driver was attacked by hungry
mob, who began to take his bread from
the wagon and devour it like so many
ravenous wolves. OF course the driver
resisted and tried to defend his employ
er's property, and in the melee he was
killed. This started the officers OF the
law at once, and they were met by
mob, who told them they would have
one of two things, bread or blood. This
at once started investigation. In one
room were found 200 young men, with
only one fire in it, not one bite to eat
nor one particle of bedding. The Saliva
tion army gathered 300 into large
room and kept them from freezing. An
other large number were found in back
alley, fighting over some crusts they
had found in garbage heap, and the
daily papers of that place say the cry of
bread Is heard on every hand, and loud
ly sing the old time cry of charity,
charity! Heavens! we have heard that
word until we think it the most abused
word in the English language. Lord
of all! let us have some justice mixed
with this charity business. In all the
reports of suffering from there not one
word is said against any of them, but
the party that attacked the bakers
wagon, they were only poor people out
of work, but rather than make any dis
turbance, were willing to lay down and
freeze or starve. We have too much
food, too much clothing, we are told,
more than the markets will bear; no
need for them; our railways are blocked
with grain cars, our elevators
bursting open, no room for any
more; markets are glutted, and, in the
midst of this, thousands freezing and
starving What kind of a system have
we? Millions piling up on the one
hand, thousands starving in sight of it.
On the same night this occurred in Gin
cinnati, there was held, in the city of
Philadelphia, notable meeting, COM
posed of men who are called great
financiers, from Washington, New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and other
places, composed about equally of dem
ocrats and republicans (Hcaven save
the mark, to discuss the financial stu
alton, and they arrived at the firm con-
clusion that all that was necessary to
do was to withdraw all the paper and
silver from circulation, and confidence
would complete the balance. The walls
of the starving, the groans of the freez-
ing, waited to their ears by lightning
wires, was only an appropriate doxolo-
gy to their meeting"

THE POWER OF USURY.

1t Has Virtually Enslaved All Humanity
An Illustration.
For purpose of illustrating the rapid
ity with which money will accumulate
if kept at interest and compounded for
any considerable length of time 1 will
cite two instances where careful com=
putations have been made.
The value of the three small vessels in
which Columbus first sailed on his voy-
age of discovery in 1892 is said to have
been s35, o00 If, instead of purchasing
these vessels, the money had been put
at interest at 9 per cent and compound
ed annually until the present time it
would have amounted to $3.50. $40, OOO,-
100000. There is in the western con-
tinent, including its islands, 16, 900, 900
square miles of land, 10, 24O, 900, 600
acres If this land is estimated to be
worth 500 per acre, including mount
aims and deserts, the $50, 900 originally
invested, with its accumulations, would
buy one hundred and fifty such con-
tinents.
There is on the face of the globe so,
600, 600 square miles, or $4,000, 900, 900
acres of land. The $35, 900 with its ac-
cumulations at 8 per cent compound
interest for 400 years would buy and
pay for, at the rate of 500 per acre,
fifty-seven such globes as this.
The widows mite, spoken of by our
Saviour, is supposed to have been half
penny. If that half-penny had been
put out at interest at 6 per cent and
compounded from the commencement
of the Christian era until the present
time it would have amounted to the
sum of s5l, 200, 600, 600, 600, 600, 600, O0O.-
900, 600. The above amount if in pure
gold would make fourteen solid globes
of gold as large as this earth Cali
