CALIFORNIA OIL.
A Missourian Thinks It Will Make
The State Greater.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. $50. B. STAN
ton. proprietor of the Victoria hotel,
has returned to Kansas City from an
extended visit to California where he
went on business. :. Mr.. Stanton is heay-
ily interested in one Of the most i'm
portant law suits that has ever been
filed in that state and he went to Cali
fornia TO have his case reinstated In
the United States federal court. This
he accomplished. 1t is suit against
the Yellow Aster Mining Company at
Randsbury and will be tried before
Judge Ross in February.
Mr.. Stanton was much impressed
with the wonderful oil developments
of California since his last visit. He
said:
In one district about fifteen miles
wide and twenty-five miles long they
have dozens of wells that range all the
way from forty barrels capacity to sew
eral hundreds daily. The recent dis
covery of oil in that state will reVolu
tionize the manufacturing business II

opments in California within few

Bacillus Outside of Animal Body
The longest time that infected ma
terial, as lint, wadding, earth, etc. re-
manned active was eight days. Spu-
tum from patients affected with the
pneumonia form, kept in a vessel
plugged with cotton wool, was no lon
ger virulent in sixteen days. In ordi-
nary drinking water the bacilh die in
three days, in sterilized water in eight
days, and in sterilized bilge water in
FIVE days. In direct sunlight the ba-
cilli die in three to four hours. IRE
port of the German Plague Commits
sion, as quoted by Bowhill) The ba-
ciili are killed by drying at ordinary
room temperatures in four days

How is the Disease Contracted.
The methods by which the bacilli en-
ter the human body are three in num-
ber-by incubation Through an exter-
nal wound or abrasion), by respira-
1 lion, and by introduction into the
stomach. The japanese investigator,
Aoyama, contracted the disease by in
oculation incurred during a postmor-
TEN, and one of his assistants died OF
the disease contracted in the same
manner. According to Lowson, skin
to-skin infection is impossible, unless
the one to be infected has some wound
and the infector's skin has been soiled
by feces, blood, or the contents of bu-
boes. The individual may contract the
disease by inhaling the dust from in
fected houses which contain the germ;
Furthermore, by imbibing infected
fluids or eating infected food.
1t may be contracted, therefore
through one or more of the above
mentioned channels, by prolonged ant
intimate contact with the plagu
stricken, as in the case of nurse car
rying child i'll with the disease; ais
: by the handling of COMMISSIONING
bedding, and other infected materials
, and by eating with soiled or I'm
: washed hands Infection from bodle
: found in the street, in houses, or await
: ing burial may take place if the clothe
have been soiled by discharges. Cant
lie says:
''Bulard says sleeping in the dea
mans shirt proves nothing turtle
2 than that the plague-infected carmen
l did not generate the poison Of an II
tensity sufficient to infect. The poiso

S According to Lowson, the poison

e an infected person have given neg
g tive results in the only case of whit

day, Il am glad to have lived so many
years, because I have come to know
the most beautiful thing on earth-the
love of one woman for another, the
love of good women for one another"
And, truly, if any woman on earth has
reason to know it this mother of
clubs" who has done more than any
other one woman to introduce women
to one another ought to from long and
intimate experience. Through her pen,
that of the first regular trained wom-
an journalist in the world. and through
her long active experience as presi-
dent of the foremost woman's club in
the country, Mrs. Croly has done more.
perhaps, for the emancipation of wom-
men through club work than any other
person, and we may well pause to con-
slider her words for a moment.-Club

The Chinese Trouble.

Who that has studied the past his
tory and who knows of the things the
Chinese have brought forth in matters
of art, letters, statecraft and religion
can say that the Celestial empire is fit
only to be parceled out among our su-
perfor selves? No intelligent American
at least will take this stand, says Har-
pers Weekly. He is more likely to adj
here to the sentiments expressed by
Lord Charles Beresford in his inform
ing and prophetic monograph, 1.-THE
Break Up of China" that all that is
needed in the emergency which exists
and which he predicted are honesty of
purpose and a determination on the
part OF the powers to preserve the in
tegrtty of the Chinese empire. Lord
Charles has little hope of the powers
outside of those dominated by the
Anglo-Saxon idea, however, for he goes
on to say, investigations on the spot
have convinced me that the main
tenance Of the Chinese empire is essen
tial to the honor as well as the inter
ests of the Anglo-Saxon race, and I
hope that when the British and Ameri-
can people are acquainted with the
facts as a whole they viii be similarly

There are several ways of cleaning
white straw hat after it has begun to
show the signs of having endured the
dust and raindropS and sunshine. Sim
pie lemon juice will do wonders in re-
storing the original whiteness to the
straw, but the result is by no means
lasting. Oxalic acid and water is bet
ter. Make saturated solution of the
oxalic acid and water and with it
sponge the hat carefully. After the
entire surface has been cleaned leave
the hat to whiten for a short time; then
wash IL over with a clean cloth dipped
in clear water. For a perfectly smooth
straw Il mixture of cornmeal. oxalic
acid and water made into a thick paste
and spread over the hat is good. The
paste should be left to dry on the hat
and is to be brushed off when the
bleaching process is complete. Chic
rine water applied with a cloth has a
great effect in bleaching straw. After
this has been applied and allowed to
do it's work II should be followed by
clear water. A fine, smooth straw,
such as a Ieghorn straw hat, may be
cleaned by the use of lemon Juice and
powdered sulphur. Mix this in about
the proportion of one tablespoonful OF
the sulphur TO the Juice of one lemon

ing agent will reach every part of the

Of Argentina's fiag-no dark clouds nor
angry storms. The winters are mild,
snow falling only in the extreme south
or in the higher spurs OF the Andes.
The summer heat, which in most or
the country is no greater than that OF
Washington, is never charged with
humidity and is, therefore, helpful and
not harmful to life. Would that 1
could tell the following fact TO the
thousands OF my fellow creatures who,
though possessed OF ample means, are
wasting under the cruel blight OF pull
monary consumption. In the hills OF
Cordoba. 80 hours journey from the
port OF Buenos Ayres. we have heaV-
en- made sanitarlum. If those in whose
lungs tuberculosis has already made

would bring them life and respite from

capital who desire confirmation of this
fact need only consult the resident Ar
gentina minister, DR.. Edward Wilde,
who is not only a diplomat, but also
very eminent physician.
THE United States, Russia and India
must reckon with Argentina as
wheat producer. With n population Of
less than 100000 she already exports
100, 700 tons of that grain in year. 1t
is q delight often met with there to
look on a field of 20 square miles, with
the golden ears standing even and close
together, and not n weed nor stump
of a tree nor a stone as big as mans
fist to be seen or found in the whole
area. When the harvest is ready, the
Italians come over in shiploads to reap
it. When their task is done, they stuff
their working clothes into an old wheat
sack and, with their pockets full of
money, return to Italy to repeat the
operation there.
1.-The United States is far from being
awake to her commercial interests in
South America. Let me give you some
facts: You ought to make hats as good
and cheap as anybody. Argentina buys
1000 dozen every year from England
and only 26O dozen from You. In boots
and shoes, in whose manufacture you
lead the world. and the superiority of
your products is. fully recognized down
there, 6,534 dozen pairs are annually
imported from France, Italy and Eng
land and only 1871 dozen from this
country.
Argentina produces the finest cloth
ing wool TO be found in the world. The
United States ought to and some day
will seek TO buy every ounce of that
wool, work it into cloth and sell it to
the people in all this western continent.
This is one of the greatest manufac-
turing and business enterprises that
yet lie invitIngly but undeveloped be-
fore you"
