The Best Air Temperatures.

The conditions affecting the tenn
perature of the body other than those
due to physiological conditions are very
numerous. First and most obvious IS
the temperature of the surrounding at
mosphere. tits well-established fact
that the average temperature of the air
of 81 degrees Fahrenheit is best
adapted to the public health, for at that
temperature the decomposition of an
imal and vegetable matter is slight and
normal temperature is most easily
maintained. Every degree of tenn
perature above or below that point re-
quires a more or less effort of the heat
regulating power TO maintain the prop
er equilibrium. Even more potent in
elevating the bodily temperature is the
introduction into the blood. whether by
respiration OF by direct injection. OF
putrid fluids and the gases Of decom-
posing matters. Ifthis injection is re-
reated at short intervals, death will
occur with a high temperature Pop

The stsxart.aepanlsI Suit Goes Over.

The case of John T. Stewart vs.. q.
G. Mcdaniel, which has been on trial
In the Sedgwick county district court
came to a sudden end Thursday. The
defendant, Mcdaniel, had as defense
set up several defenses, among them
being that the ordinance Of the city
Of Wellington provided that man
loaning his own money must pay an
occupation tax, and that Stewart had
not paid such taxes and Therefore can
uOt maintain tins suit In court.
The court held that tile ordinance
of the city Of Wellington was void 10
50 far that IL attempted to impose an
occupation tax on Stewart, aud that
under the answer the defendant,
Mcdaniel, could not introduce evl-
dence in regard to the taxes, and that
it was no defense under the answer,
and that the evidence in regard to an
alteration o; the note, and that no
bond was given was incompetent.
When the objection was sustained,
McDaniePS attorneys asked leave tU
file an amended answer. The court
granted the request, with the con-
dition that Mcdaniel pay the costs OF
the trial, which amount to SS5 or $40,
and continued the case for the term.
This is the third time the defend
ant has amended the answer and also
the third time the case has been on
| trial,
