vehicle for its introduction into the body
is perhaps the water we drink. We
can't keep the microbe out. We can
prevent its harmfulness.
THE DANGER or DISEASE
does not lie in the strength Of the
microbe but in the weakness OF the
body. When the blood is impure the
microbe has a vantage ground from
which TO operate. When the blood is
pure disease fails TO find a breeding
ground, and the microbe strives in vain
against the man. Nobody can be healthy

They'll Determine Their Attitude To-
ward Control Board.
For conference on the vexatious question Of
the state board Of controls authority to su-
pervise the finances of the state university
the board Of regents will meet in special ses-
sion to- morrow at 10 a. m. Representatives
of the state board of control will be present
1t is understood that the conference is in the
interests of harmony.
Last spring similar conference resulted
in nothing The regents are going into this
to what is to be done, but some course will
be determined in order that in the future the
boards may operate together The confer
ence was decided upon, not as a concession
to the new board because Of the supreme
courts recent decision as to the normal
schools but it is simply deemed advisable to
get together some way.
The regents have always claimed the exclu-
sive right to manage the affairs of the state
institution Of learning; tho board asserts,
since the normal school decision in it's favor
that it has the right to supervise the univer-
sity finances. AT present the regents hold
the fort. They do not admit that the Marina
case is analogous or that they come under
the board of control management simply be-
cause the normal board did.
1t is expected that the regents will decide
on one Of three courses: Let the question be
settled by judicial procedure; left to the
Judgment Of the state legislature, or a sub
division Of work between the two boards be
agreed upon.

her experience. She says, 4 always used

Gradually 1 became nervous, my COM
pIexion grew sallow and yellow and finally

the food. I gradually ate less and less,
depending upon the coffee to keep me up.
Finally, l concluded that the trouble was
malaria, and the doctor advised me TO
leave that part of the country. So l went
back up to the hills in the hope of get
ting better. Instead of that got worse.

come OF considerable and continued eff
forts on the part Of the former to impress
their views upon the latter For some

their holdings in the near future A de-
mand was made two weeks ago for per

refused. These holders of Southern Pa

Pacific at price somewhat above the
market, and their offer was declined.
Failing to secure an arrangement Of
some kind, it Is stated that these holders
are very angry and threaten lawsuit,
which will raise the whole question of

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Aldrich,
the party manager for the republicans on

Washington from his holiday vacation.
He conferred with various influential SEN
ators and representatives and preliminary
steps were taken for getting together
upon legislative program for the ses-

steering committee, authorized by the re-
publican caucus. In the meantime mat
tiers will drift, the Philippines tariff bill
being the order" of BUSINESS. Senator
Aldrich said:
In my judgment the senate will insist upon
canal within a reasonable time, and after
full examination of both routes, will pro-
coed to act at this session upon the principle
that canal should be authorized before we
adjourn. - -r.- .-s' -...'s.
This expresses the opinion of the lead
ers and OF congress generally that all at
Temps to prevent legislative action this
session by playing off the Panama route
against the Nicaragua route, or vice
versa, ought to fail. This opinion has
not abated since it was first formed be-
fore the recess, and it has not been ma
terially affected by the supplementary re-
