TOPEKA WANTS DOLLAR GAS.
List of Many Cities Where the Fuel
and Illuminant IL Cheap.

List of Many Cities Where the Fuel
and Illuminant In Cheap.
From the Topeka State Journal.
The gas company of Topeka mas not yet
announced its promised reductions from
the exorbitant rates still paid by the peo-
pie of this city. That the company itself
has known for a long time that the rates
are excessive is shown by their agreement
over year ago to reduce the gas rates as
soon as certain improvements were made
Four months beyond the years time asked
for making these improvements have gone
by and still Topeka Is without 81 gas. Re-
cent expressions made by city authorities
have shown that 81 gas was the under
standing the rate would be.
If the gas company will make popular
rate for its product it will popularize gas
and it will go into the houses Of hundreds
of families who are now kept from using
this great article for light and fuel be-
cause the price makes it prohibitive. With
gas at 81 the majority Of the families in
the city can afford to use it, rather than
submit to the dangers and annoyances OF
gasoline.
The price of gas in this city Is 81. .6S per
Thousand feet; where used as fuel In gas
stoves the rate is $3.50, and where used in
gas engines the rate Is 1885, These rates
are simply beyond reason.

by any person whatsoever. And do be-
iieve that the Invocation or alteration Of

to the Protestant religion. And do SOL

BATHING A COMPROMISE.
Man In the Absolutely Wild State
Was Washed by Rain.
From tie New Voice

From tie New Voice
A learned German professor has said
that in a state Of absolutely wild nature a
man would require no bathing That Is to
say, the skin. exposed constantly to sun
and wind and rain, brushed by dewy
branches and grasses of mornings, and in
ured to periods Of chill and cold, would
keep itself clean enough. The skin. when
exposed to all the vicissitudes of the
weather, develops a vastly more extensive
circulation than is seen in the clothed man
Of civilization. Lay hand on the thigh
of a Nez Perces Indian in winter time 1t
is covered only by flaps of buckskin fasten-
ed roughly at the side edges with two or
three thongs. Even in zero weather it feels
hot. That means circulation of blood. But
a savage pays for this by having most of
his nervous force taken up in adjustments
to the various inclemencies. In civilization
We want this force for other things. So
we dress. and heat our houses, and always
shade the body Except hands and faces)
from the sun rays, and get quiet and
equable conditions for the skin and it's
thousands of nerve-endings. The brain
can work better thus than when the
skin-nerves are in excitement. But Incl
dentally to this almost incesSant shielding
of the skin, its circulation falls off vastly
more than We ordinarily realize. Its glands
become less active by far than in the saw
age. 1t becomes thinner in it's working
shelving place for half-vitalized fat and
water-this especially in women of leisure
lives or men in sedentary occupations. And
its nerves. from lack of employment be-
come relatively inert. Finally the constant
excretions, 50 necessary to the general
well-being. tend to accumulate in the top
layers of the skin. on it's surface and in
the clothing. and impede the escape of
other excretions that should be having right
of way.
This brief history is necessary to bring
the mind to the point where it realizes
that baths are the compromise made by
civilization to sayagery. We need con-
stantly to work back toward the superb
skin circulation of the savage and his COM
pleter glandular activity, and to this end
can gladly devote from quarter to half an
hour out of each day, taking all the rest
for other things 1t is not otherwise with
d horse or a COW. Turned out in a brushy
pasture. and for horses especially free
to roll in the dirt. and getting betimes
showers and sun and wind, their hides
keep clean The bushes carry them the
whole day through But horse or COW or
calf or bull is kept in a barn-and there
are enough reasons for doing so in winter
then 1t becomes imperative for the best re-
suits to curry the creature thoroughly
every day. We take extra work from the
horse or more milk from the cow and give
in exchange currying along with hay,
grain and shelter.

SMALLPOX AND NEGLECT,
Lax Sanitary Methods In New England
Com mplained OF.

Lux S0n1tUry MetnOOS In new England
Complained OF.
From the Boston Advertiser
Unless all the stories from southern New
England are misleading, there are some
very lax methods OF sanitary inspection in
that quarter. From one town OF Rhode
Island comes the story that twenty-five
persons there (who had been mildly sick,
but had not been under doctors treatment)
were found one day to be afflicted with
smallpox. The lack of medical inspection
there was all the more noteworthy because
the smallpox epidemic Las been raging
fiercely in Rhode Island Still. there is not
much room for criticism on the part of
Massachusetts. In one city In the southern
part Of this state the sanitary authorities
were about to remove from an infected
house the usual public warning when the
fact was called to their attention that at
least five new cases Of smallpox had teen
developed in the house within that very
day.
If these are not lax methods OF sanitary
inspection, then popular ideas about neces-
sary precautions are sadly mistaken At
least it cannot be denied that in some of
the infected cities not very far from Bos-
ton the occupants Of infected houses are
allowed to go where they please and to do
what they please until they themselves are
taken down with the disease 1t is no won
der that lately as many as fifteen or twenty
new cases or smallpox have been reported
from single town In one daJ within the
past week The people Of Boston and Of
other Massachusetts cities where the dis
ease has not yet gained much hcadWay
have the right to demand better Inspection
methods than these.
Unless this demand is needed, if the epi-
demic continues to spread as rapidly as it
has spread in the past ten days. it may be
necessary to establish local quarantine
against people coming from the infected
districts. Even If the health authorities ~
place like Fall River are unwilling to
respect local public sentiment, they have
no right to endanger outside communities
by their mistakes or ineff1ciency
