In our common purple orchis and
some other species there occurs what
we may term a geographical move
ment, a real travelling of the plant. If
we dig up one of these, we shall find
its roots include two smooth. roundish
tubers. one in the process of formation,
the other formed last year and now be-
ing drawn upon by the growing stem
for its nourishment. Next year this
the new tuber will be supporting the
new stem, and Il newer tuber will be
forming on the other side. This proc
ess goes on year after year, says Ed
ward Step in The Pail Mall Magazine,
with the result that the stem is each
year about half an inch from the spot
the plant occupied twelve months pre-
viously.
\ similar action, though much more
pronounced. is characteristic of some
garden lilies and several of our spring
towering bulbs. Tulips, if planted in
the shadow of thick shrubs. such as
evergreens. will walk away from them
into the lighter portion of the border
The movement of garden lilies, especial
ly Lilium amatum and Lilium speci-
osum. is still more apparent. Pl;rce Il
bulb OF Liium auratum, the heavily
scented, golden rayed lily of Japan. in
the center of Il large flower pot. For Il
season or two it retains its postion;
then it breaks up into number OF
smaller bulbs, equaling or exceeding in
number the lowering stems sent up
the previous summer; but when these
in turn give off each stem it does not
at once assume vertical direction, but
shoots almost horizontally until it
reaches the side of the pot, when 1T
rises erectly.
Several of our grasses and sedSeS de-
velop creeping stems of great length,
| which give rise to new plants ut every
point or at intervals. The familiar
quitch, twitch or couch is of this char
acter. but the most striking examples
are TO be found in maram grass and
sea sedge that occur on sand dunes by
the sea. These plants of the seashore
make ropes of their enormous creeping
root stocks wherewith the sands are
tied together. and many banks that
would otherwise wash away with the
| FIRST high tide are held intact.

Curse of Politics at Kankakee.

Discussing the recent charges and
revelations against the Illinois East
ern Hospital for the Insane at Kan
kakee, former official of the insti-
tuition said to. the Chicago Record
Herald: 4
Politics is the dominant curse of
the Kankakee asylum. Politicians
rule for personal benefit an institu-
ton with a population of 5000 souls.
and of this number 1900 are insane
wards of the commonwealth. Poll
ties so governs the management of
the asylum that patients are directly
affected thereby.
Take the case of James Hill, the
attendant who resigned. He told me
he did political work for Senator Len
Small, president of the board of
trustees, when the senator was a
candidate for state treasurer before
the last republican state convention
Hill said he and sometimes ten OF
eleven other attendants were taken
from their wards-away from their
duty of watching and caring for the
insane patients-and sent to the of
flee of the trustees in the executive
branch of the main building. There
they worked all day long day after
day addressing letters and conduct
ing correspondence work attendant
upon Smalrs preconSention cam
paign.
''This was done for a fortnight or
more, and later some of the attend
ants were sent for every other day
At these times they were relieved en-.
tirely from duty in their respective
wards and gave the state no service.

Physician Healed.

DR.. George Ewing, practicing
physician of Smiths Grove, KY, for
over thirty years, writes his personal
experience with Foley's Kidney Cure:
For years L had been greatly both
cred with kidney and bladder trouble
and enlarged PROSTATE gland. IL
used everything known to the profess
sion without relief, until 1 commenc-
ed to use FOley's Kidney Cure. After
taking three bottles 1 was entirely
relieved and cured. 1 prescribe it
now daily in my practice and heartily
recommend its use to all physicians
for such troubles. 1 have prescribed
it in hundreds of cases with perfect
success" All druggists.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-08-11

although they were under pay of the
taxpayers all of the time. The seri-
Gus side of this sort of management
is to. show that politics does directly
affect the patients and their care and
the manner of their treatment"
Commenting on this the Record
Herald. which is generally pretty
cOnsiderate o. it's own party's feel
ings. says:
''One of the most serious COM
plants entered against the Kanka-
kee asylum management is that di-
rected against the medical depart
ment. Attention has been drawn
since the investigation of charges
have been planned to the changes
which have taken place in recent
years. 1t is contended that little or
no genuinely scientific work is per
formed in the medical laboratory
This feature of the institution was
installed at large expense to the
state. Years ago some of the bright
est MEDICAL scientists in the country
saw service i'm this department.. Now
| it has been allowed, il is alleged, to
Ideteriorate until, it is asserted, the
work done in that branch of the med
zeal service practically amounts to
nothing from scientific view
point.
Another point which the Protect
i've Agency for Women and Children
will inquire into when its legal coun-
sci, Attorneys Charles AlIing and
William II. Fitzgerald, attend the
meeting of the state board of chart
ties is why there are now no women
physicians at Kankakee. Several
years ago women physicians We're
employed, but their services have
been dispensed with.
One of the former superintend-
ents of the institution tried the plan
of having women nurses attend some
of the insane men who were i'll or
classified as among the least disturb
ing. The idea was new one. but
successful beyond all expectations.
The patients obeyed the women
nurses better than they ever minded
the male attendants. The question
will be asked why this system was
done away with. when in Switzerland
and France it is now being tried with
great success, and is attracting the
attention of insanity experts
Throughout the world.
THE attendants formerly under
the doctors orders gave many of the
patients massage treatment, and
many times the results were highly
| beneficial to the afflicted. The
part of the system has now prac-
tically been obliterated. and the in
vestigators will be asked by the rep
resentatives of one of the organiza-
tions. who will attend the meetings
why this is not continued in the same
measure as it was several years ago
1t will also be asked why the interpes
were disposed Of

When a citizen right here ut home

pears. and the most skeptical must
be convinced. It's pretty hard for
our readers to prove statement
made by a stranger living in some
PARKWAY point of the union, but the
endorsement of neighbors. friends
and citizens is the best of proof; no
better evidence can be had.
Mrs. j. Anderson, of 1905 Thirty
eighth street, says: II had steady
aching pains through my kidneys
and in my hips, especially after a
hard days work, when my back hurt
me so severely that it made me ner-

too frequent action of the kidney Sc

LONDON. May 6.-Bret Harte, the
American author. died suddenly last
night at the Red House. CamberIey
near Aldenshot. from hemorrhage
caused by an affection of the throat.
Mr.. Harte has been suffering from
swelled tonsils since December last. but
he did not consider the attack to be
serious. A week ago he went to visit
friends at Camberley and was present
at lunch as usual yesterday. He sud-
denly became i'll in the afternoon. went
TO Ded and died In Il few hours. His
end was peaceful.
Harte had been living quietly in Eng
land for years. Most OF his time was
spent in the country. and when in Lon
don he was almost secluded. having
few visitors To his rooms at Lancaster
Gaze. and only going to- the houses OF
. limited number OF intimate friends.
Several months ago. when a false re-
port OF his death was circulated In
America. a representative OF the Asso-
ciated Press called at his rooms. Mr..
Harte then appeared to be perfectly
well. He laughed heartily and quoted
Ol1 hHt
port being greatly exaggerated.
Except for a little cold" said Mr..
Harte. Il have no ailments or COM
plants. While l am getting to be a
pretty old man." pointing to his snow
white hair there Is life in the old dog
yet" and thereupon he lit a cigar SO
large that Il would have done credit to
any OF his Poker Flat friends. He was
hoping. he said. to do more work. but
he confessed he was growing lazy.
LONDON. May Bret Harte Will be
