allure. On the street outside the tenn
perature would probably be from thir-
ty to forty degrees below that of the
fire room. but the humidity outside
would be from twenty to forty per
cent. higher, and in consequence the
suffering would be correspondingly
greater.
Although humidity is one of the
most important elements to take into
consideration regarding our health, it
receives little or no attention. We are
accustomed to looking at the Their
mometer, and trying to regulate our
comfort according to the amount of
heat and cold indicated thereon. Now
it would be far better to lay the Their
lnometer aside and give a few moments
study to humidity. We can tell by our
feeling about what the temperature of
any day is, but not so with humidity
AS / stated before, the normal humid
ity OF New York city, is seventy-tw
per cent. Any per cent. between forty
and eighty is healthful; anything be-
low forty is too dry and injurious to
health and destructive to plant life;
anything above eighty per cent. is too
moist, oppressive to the human sys-
tenn, enervating and exhausting, but
generally beneficial to plant life
For inland cities the percent
ages are lower. The humidity of ones
home should be given more considera-
ton. 1t is not an easy matter to reg
ulate the humidity of your home in
summertime, and it is not necessary to
try, for the moisture is seldom above
a healthy per cent. for any length of
time; but the winter months, when we
turn on the steam and have our fur
naces and stoves booming, our homes
become overheated and all the moisture
absorbed. The furniture drops apart
and we complain about the dryness,
but what do we do to prevent 1t? Pile
on more coal! / would be willing to
guarantee that nine out of every ten
houses in New York City during the
winter months have a humidity regis
tering less than forty per cent, and
that some one in the family is suffer
ing from throat or lung affection. You
may ask how this can be remedied.
should say, first, do not keep your
houses so warm: second, open your
windows at the top each night and let
out the overheated air; third, when you
md you have too much heat do not
turn off the steam or let your fires go
down sufficient to cool off the entire
house, but rather ventilate your house;
open the windows top and bottom for
a few moments, let in the fresh air,
thus reducing the heat and letting in
sufficient moisture with the cool air
to keep your house in a good healthy
condition. Why are most of the Eng
fish and foreign races possessed of
such fine healthy appearance? SIM
ply this-they do not live in overhead
ed house devoid of all the natural ele-
ments of the air. This cold weather
advice may not be comfortable reading
just now, but it will be worth thinking
about later on.

Sufferers from this horrible 1naiady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.

STATISTICS OF
 INDIAN BIRTHS
COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AZ. FAIRS SAYS GRAVE OBSTACLES ARE ENCOUNTERED IN WORK ING FOR REFORMS.

Fake Mohonk, N. r., October 1S.-Wil- liam A. Jones, commissioner of Indian af- fairs, told the Indian conference that the most important step taken by his depart ment during the year was securing the record of Indian births. marriages and deaths. In working for Indian reform, grave obstacles were encountered. The indiscriminate issue of rations, unwise appropriation of money and the leasing Of allotments were some of the obstacles. Another grave obstacle was the educa- uonal policy which prevailed.
 The schools gave the Indians too many things including not a few luxuries for little or nothing. Not earning their edu- cation, in too many cases they failed to appreciate it. The Indians were hardly more self-reliant than they were quar- ter Of a century ago. The time had come to make vigorous move to end such guardianship and to throw the Indian on his own resources.
 Captain Pratt of the Carlisle Indian school said he was in favor of doing away with AIndian schools including the one at Carlisle at an early date.

SEED DISTRIBUTION.
Department of Agriculture Completes
 It's Plans.

Washington, October 18.JThe Depart ment of Agriculture has completed plans for the. annual seed distribution through out the country. Despite the fact that double the usual amount of seeds are to be sent out this year, the preliminary work is advanced much further than in past years.
 There will be 37,000,00O packets of seed distributed, comprising both vegetables and flowers. A change has been made in the method of distributing cotton and forage crops which now instead of being sent broadcast, will be sent only to cer- tain sections, where they are adaptable and likely to being in about improved condition.
 Havana and Sumatra tobacco will be sent only to Florida and certain parts of New England, where their culture has proven successful, and where muslin sheets spread over large tracts of tobac- co area furnish the necessary tropical conditions. Other types of tobacco plants will be sent to other sections. The de- partment will begin sending out the seeds about December 1, and most of them will be furnished through Senators and Rep resentatives.

CASHIER MISSING.
Nothing Has Been Heard as to Where.
 abouts of M. A. Worry.

Boyertown, Pa, October 1S.-Up to this evening nothing had been heard respect ing the whereabouts of Milton A. Worry, the missing cashier of the National Bank of Boyertown.
 The committee of bank officials who went to Philadelphia today found that Worry had taken $165,0o0 worth of the banks securities and these securities were found deposited with s. M. and M. S. Fridenberg, brokers of that city. What amount Worry had raised on the securities Is not announced, but the pre- sumption Is that the Boyertown bank officials made good the sum secured as they state tonight that the securities are again the property of the. bank
 It Is further stated that the banking institution will not lose over $2O00 but the hint is made that some others are caught for considerable sums. Merry was under $30,0O0 bonds. His wife says that he ap- peared completely unnerved for the past few weeks but that he was more cheer full than usual when he left home on Monday. His friends fear he has com mitted suicide. 1t is generally understood that he speculated In stocks.

PIcKETlNe ENDOWED.
Federal Judge Issues Order to Prevent
 lntImldatlng.

Chicago, October 1s.-Judge Kohisaat, sitting in the United States Circuit Court today granted permanent injunction re- straining Reliable Lodge No. 253 of the International Association of Machinists, its members and other from pieketing the works of the Ailis Chalm CTS Company or in any way intimidating workmen of the company.
 In rendering the decision the court characterized assaults by strikers as civil warfare and as malicious as midnight murder. He said 1t was the undoubted right of workmen to quit work severally or in body so long as the act does not come within the rule against conspiracies to injure the property of another The order of the court was made to take the place of temporary restraining order is- sued several weeks ago. The defendants maintain that they are peaceable and that the Allis Chalmers Company is a trust and also In conspiracy to fight the Machinists' Association.
 The feature of the decision is the prohi- bition of picketing. Judge Kholsaat says that if only peaceful persuasion is used and there are no underlying or implied threats in the demaneor or language used by the strikers, either a large body of men at present employed by the company are unusually and strangely timid, or de- fendants and their confederates have been very unfortunate in their manner of disclosing their peaceful and harmless intentions. It Is conceivable theoretical ly that patrols or pickets could be main tained upon the platonic basis claimed by defendants, but the evidence, taken as a whole, leaves no doubt in the mind of the court that the name was not mis- applied in this case. In the Judgement of the court the pickets were the indirect, If not the direct, inspiration of acts of intimidation and of violence by others

Gertrude coohIan.

Besides Miss Coghlan's portrayal of Becky Sharp, there are numerous other characters in the great play of Vanity Fair which will be seen at the Jefferson Theatre on Tuesday next with a special matinee. that are interesting in the ex- treme. Thackeray's power as a novelist Is nowhere more plainly shown than in his handling of Rawdon Crawley, the dupe of Becky Sharp. Without atten- uating one of the guardsmans faults he yet contrives to make us sorry for him while all the time we know that Rawdon, ht least until his son Rawdy was born, was little better than blackleg. He had a dull hide, but when the barbed shaft of love penetrated it. he was done for completely and from that moment 80 strange is the human heart-the luck less heavy dragoon has control of the readers sympathy What though he CO., Eened poor George Osborne out of money after that celebrated runaway match with Becky and was guilty of hundred things not strictly peccadilloes, the reader Is sorry for the poor devil, he is in the power of another so much more knowing cleverer, more of a devil than he. In the Coghlan version of the story there are fewer finer dramatic moments known to the stage than Rawdon Crawley's dis covery of Becky's duplicity. From then on he controls the sympathy more strongly than ever.

LABOR PROBLEM
 CRAVE IN HAWAII
Natives Dying Off Rapidly and
 Foreigners Leaving
MORTALITY IS VERY LARGE
Encouragement of Chinese Labor Is the Most Promising Solution. Natives Generally Will
 Not Work.

Washington, October 18.-Mr Henry E. Cooper. territorial secretary and for sew eral months prior to his departure for the United States acting Governor of Hawaii has discussed with Secretary of Agriculture Wilson the conditions in the territory. One of the main aims of MT. Cooper's trip here is to acquaint the ad- ministration with the actual situation in Hawaii.
 In his conference with Secretary Wilson he emphasized the seriousness of the labor problem. The natives are dying off rapidly, the mortality being in the neighborhood of forty deaths to the thousand, and foreign laborers are get ting out of the county much more rapid ly than they are coming in.
 Chinese Labor.
 The encouragement of Chinese labor, said he, Is regarded as the most promis- ing solution. and the territorial govern ment Is anxious that large numbers of laborers shall come in from China. The sugar cane crop that should have been harvested at the beginning of July, he said, Is not yet off the field, and will not pe harvested DeIore next month. The coffee industry is languishing. and many things that should be raised there are bought outside of the islands.
 Hawaiian Cane Crop.
 Secretary Wilson informed MT. Cooper of report of the superintendent of agri- cultural stations in Honolulu, showing. among other things, that it costs $26 an acre to fertilize the cane crop in Ha- wall, and pointed out the big farm wage which has to be paid to farm laborers. viz, $40 month, including board. which Is approximately s10 more than in this country. MT. Cooper suggested that the averegae farm wage might even be greater. sD
 Secretary Wilson told Mir. Cooper of the plans the department was making for Hawaii, and said he intended to build up the coffee, spice. rubber and other in dustries and to help to diversity the flaw allan industries. No attention will be paid to the sugar industry there as MT Wilson cont ends that already is develop ed to the limit. The department purposes said MT. Wilson, to make all these is- lands within the United States raise whatever is adaptable to them individ- ually, and to furnish everything that Is needed among themselves
