There are two things that the whole
medical profession agree about concern
ing catarrh. The first is that catarrh is
the most prevalent and omnipresent dis
ease to which the people in the United
States are subject. All classes Of people
have it. Those who stay indoors much
and those who go outdoors much.
Working classes have it and sedentary
classes have it.

lack OF analogy in tle spelling OF
words, learning TO spell is chiefly a
matter Of memory. Repetition is thq
only secret about it, says the Philadel-
phia Record. There are some aids, but
it is the words TO which there is nc
guide 0'hich are the common source
of trouble. Persons who do not spell
well have simply neglected the study
of photography and are not entitled to
sympathy. Operators of typewritina
machines who have considered them
selves the victims of a defective or
biographical memory have often be-
come good spoilers through practice.
In a vast proportion Of cases bad
spelling may be traced to wrong pro-
nunciation, which is even mere fire.
quent than is wrong spelling. Prob
ably the modern methods of instruction
have something to do with the number
of bad spoilers among fairly educated
people. The old spelling-bee system
insured repetition. In recent years the
writing of the spelling lesson has IN
many schools taken the place of the
oral system. The men and women who
had gone through the district school Of
half a century or more ego were al
most Invariably good spoilers. If. as
the Evanston councilmen maintain,
spelling be a gift, it is apparent that
it is not bestowed on man as literally
as formerly.

DANGER IN SLEEPING CARS.
Herths Scored NJ Filthy and Disease
Laden by American Health
AssucintiOn.

The filthy and diseasc-laden sleep
Ing car has been duly scored by the
American Health association. AT the
meeting in Washington, says the Star,
the subject was very thoroughly dis
eussed from q sanitary standpoint.
Although the facts regarding the culp-
able uncleanliness of berths are adj
mitted by the public, their rehearsal
from time to time helps to emphasize
the necessity for reform.
The railroad companies are always
ready with excuses against lettering
conditions. Their business is to
avoid trouble and save expense. The
casual traveller may growl as much as
he chooses, but is oftener contented
to submit to an infiction rather than
suffer the humiliation lof a fruitless
appeal to agth1H RlsS,. 4,
naf12tGlBavy curtained and ill-ventilated
night car is a veritable propagation of
infectious diseases. What better could
be expected when the nightly used
blankets, as claimed by one speaker,
are cleansed but once in six months 4
And, pray, what power exists to call
officials to account? What is the real
guarantee for the sleeper that he is
absolutely safe from the germs left
for him from the previous customer?
The only remedy rests in the ordinary
honesty of the common carrier.
One of the railroad experts rather
plausibly claimed that it was not fair
to require railroads to spend large
sums of money for sanitary purposes
until they knew where they stood. AS
If, in truth, there were any doubts con
corning the efficacy of absolute cleanli-
ness, perfect ventilation and thorough
disinfection-all easy enough of ap-
plication when there is a will for the
way.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1908.

The interview with John Pfeitfer,
the newly elected alderman.at.large,
which was published in the Evening
News Tuesday, has brought out the
fact that, for the first time since the
old system of having three aldermen
and six councilman, was abolished
the Alderman t-large will be of n
different party than the majority of
the board. 1t is limited that Mr..
Pfeilfer may not have the privilege of
naming the committees of the board.
There is no law or rule governing
the appointment of committees Of the
Board of Aldermen. 1t has generally
been understood, however, that a pre-
siding officer always names commit
tees and the fact that the alderman
at-large has always been of the same
party with the majority this I'M
Written rulo in the council has never
d disputed. 1t is hard to believe
khe four Democrats who consti-
tute the majority, VII, try to deny
his privilege to Mr< Pfeiffer, even if
they should claim tina power, which
is disputed by MrA Pfeiffer is a
| capable man. He was elected by a

two Republicans to be placed on COM

important chairmanships, it is evident
that some Democrats must be placed
Mt the head of some of these coE-
mittees.

due him, but as Alderman Donovan
