SUPPORT Won BUELOW.
Press and Public Opinion Sustain the
Imperial Chancellor.

Berlin, Feb. 5.-A preponderance of
press and public opinion seems to un-
questionably support the imperial chan
cellor, Count Won Buelow, in resisting
the demands of the landed aristocracy
for an increase in the tariff above the
rates provided in the new bill The dis
content of this powerful section of the
governments supporters adds to the
difficulties of the chancellors position
and naturally causes some gossip in the
reichstag Hobbies to the effect that il
the bill fails Won Buelow's chancellor
ship will be discredited before the coun-
try and the emperor.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press is informed that the ministry
has taken its stand against the Agra
rians after the most careful examina-
ton of the situation and with the con-
viction that the country will support it.
Nothing will be done without the en-
peror's fullest knowledge. The min
istry is determined in no case to accept
higher agricultural duties than the bill
designs further statement to this
effect will be made at an oppoctune
moment.

City Board of Health an EX-
pensive Luxury.
Nearly Doubled Expenditures
Over Previous Year.
HALT BEEN CALLED.
Weekly Meetings Have Now
Been Given Up.
Mayor Parker Awaits Resigna-
lions of More City Officers.

An inspection of the records of the
health department shows the amazing
fact that since the present board OF
health took office it has spent $7,973.56.
while for the corresponding months of
the preceding administration the ex-
pense was only S4.99070.
There will be no more meetings of the
present board of health unless they are
specially called. It is announced that
the regular once-a-Week salary gran
has been abolished, and no meeting OF
the board was held last night. At the
meeting of the board a week ago, the
adjournment was taken sine die. This
is probably the first week since City
Physician Judd and the present board
of health went into office that the
weekly meeting has been omitted. The

Made InvaIids for Life.

Thousands of children who grow up
to become weak and sickly men and
women, owe their condition to the ig
norance &c their mothers. That they
would willingly cause their own chill
dren hours of misery and pain, is not
true, but the fact remains that through
ignorance or neglect they are continu-
ally doing so.
This is probably best shown in the
treatme of minor ailments in chill
dren. Take for instance, common
coughs and colds. In such cases. nine
out of ten mothers will a t once begin
to dose the children with sweet, sticky
cough syrups, expectorants or morphine
mixtures, in spite of the fact that such
cause of the disease. and cannot be
taken without injury to the stomach
and kidneys.
In ninety-five cases out of every
hundred, stomach and kidney troubles
can be traced to just such remedies,
while ninety-nine per cent. of all con-
sumptives have contracted this disease
because an ordinary cough did not re-
cefve proper treatment.
In this enlightened day a mothers
neglect becomes crime, for during the
past year thousands of dollars have
been expended to teach them that all
diseases of the respiratory organs are
caused solely by germs located in the
air passages; that stomach medicines
never can destroy these germs; that
cough germs live from five to nine DAYS
cough continues after this, it is because
the germs of bronchitis or consumption
have lodged on the raw spots caused by
cough germs, and a new disease has
been started.
Should it not be considered a crime
then for mothers to dose their children
with stomach medicines? Especially so
when by simply inhaIing the new germ

daily all germs of coughs, catarrh

ment that consolidation of stable car
