to look happy when you talk so much

Dangers OF Woman With the Dishrag.
If most persons were asked which is
the more dangerous occupation, that Of
q soldier in battle or Of the average
housewife engaged in her ordinary du-
ties the answer would be wrong.
Though startling, it Is true that the
death rate of the patient domestic
drudge is greater than that Of the sol
der. So says Doctor Dickinson Of Chi
cago, who has investigated.
At the battle Of Santiago 100000 sol
diers were engaged and 300 were killed
"a death rate of three-tenths of l per
cent. The death rate Of the woman
who keeps house is considerably high
er. These are some of the dangers
which the woman who is engaged IN
the slavish task of housekeeping and
kitchen keeping, faces daily:
Death by scalding, by gasoline or gas
explosions, by falling down dark stair
ways, by heat prostration, by dis
ease contracted through bad sewerage
and unsanttary kitchens, by exhaustion
and unending drudgery, by suicide in
duced by the hopelessness Of the daily
routine. These are not fanciful dan

tality.
And, strangely enough, these dangers
follow largely in the wax. Of tbe effort
OF modern Invention to tighten the toll

devices have increased the risk
The mothers of the race are being
slaughtered by the progress of civiliza-
ton. Especially is this true Of the So
called middle class wives and wives Of
workingmen.
These facts reverse the popular idea,
which is that the husband goes out
into the world to face it's tolls and
dangers, leaving the wife at home shell
tered from harm.
Let the world forget awhile the sor-
rows of "the man with the hoe" and
contemplate the fate Of the woman
with the dishrag.
The patient household toiler faces a
constant menace to mental and physi-
cal health. Is it any wonder she some
times despairs? You will find an an
swer in the insane hospitals and the
morgues-frightfu figures.

Mayor Harrison Says He Will G.
After Them Hard,

Chicago, Sept. 30.-"If l could fire
all the men l suspect of grating, they
would be jumping out of every window

This hall is full of gratis big and
little-you know it, and cna't prove it..

With these ana other frank declara-

himself on the subject of municipal
service. He asserted that his hands
were tied; that convincing proof could
not be secured to establish guilt, but
that in the remaining months OF his adj
ministration some means would be
found to clean out a number of depart
ments.
Suspicious were not proofs, the may
or said, and proofs were necessary to
dischrgea a man under the civil service
laws. He declared it to be an impos-
siblity to get sufficient evidence in
many known cases.

ALASKAN ROADS
SENATOR DlLLINGHAN HAS CON.
FERENCE WITH PRESIDENT.
Suggests Road Building and Cow
eminent Aid i'm Developing the
COuntry--President Will Touch
Upon Various Needs of Terri.
tory in His Message.

Washington, Oct. 3-President Roos-
evelt will make some further strong
recommendation on the subject of
Alaska in his coming annual message
to congress. This was made known YES
terday i'll an interview between the
president and Senator Dillingham; of
Vermont, chairman Of the subcommit-
tee OF the senate committee on terrific
ries, who recently visited Alaska.
Mr.. Dillingham; talked with the pres
ident almost an hour. he told Mr..
Roosevelt that the problem OF giving
to Alaska the right kind OF legislation
was very large one.
Alaska contains almost as much
territory" he said, Gas is included in
that part OF the United States east of
the Mississippi river, and the most i'm
portant problem is that OF transporta-
ton. The towns in Alaska are small
and maintain some roads and streets,
but outside the towns and villages there
are no highways. Trails are found
here and there and dogs are most gener-
ally used as a means OF transportation
Roads will do more to bring about the
development of Alaska than any other
thing in the world. The people partic-
ularly farvor the construction of wagon
roads.
Zone highway, especially, from Val
dez to Eagle City, a distance OF about
800 miles, would open up a rich coun-
try, and its construction would develop
the section in a remarkable way. The
people think that immense copper de-
posits north of Valdez would be devel-
opel should the road be opened. There
is now a military trail between these
places. With the opening of roads cap
ital would undoubtedly follow, and in
time there would be railroad"
Senator Dillingham; sees no reason
why there cannot be legislation provid-
ing for the building OF highways. Alas
ka is source OF revenue to the United
States, he said. A record OF these rev.
enues is kept at the treasury depart
mment. Although he did not commit
himself to any plan IN advance OF legis-
lation THAI will be formulated and in
dorsed by his subcommittee, Senator
Dillingham; indicated that the revenues
paid into the government by Alaska
might be reasonably allowed to be used
in that territory for its improvement.
Until Alaska has territorial form OF
government, and leg islature to act for
her interests, congress must do so, and
congress can we'll afford to do anything
possible to assist in the development OF
this great territory, rich in resources
Of every kind.
