THE PERIL OF PNEUMONIA,
Some of the Proper Precautions That
May Be Observed.

Last week there was 40 deaths from
pneumonia in Chicago. The week before
last the number was IS. From now on
the death rate will increase. The health
department estimates that the total
number of pneumonia deaths between
the end of October and the end of Nav
will be 400. or 70 week. The pneu-
monia victims will be almost twice as
numerous as the victims of consump-
tion.
Many of these deaths can be avoided
If proper precautions are taken. The or
binary man is apt to think that because
he never has tangible or visible evidence
of the cause of the disease it is useless
for him TO do anything against it. He
is wrong.
The first thing for him to do is to live
a healthful life. The better physical
condition he keeps himself in the great
er will be his powers of vital resistance
and the greater his chances of esca ping
the disease if he is exposed to infec-
ton.
The next thing to do is to avoid the
places where the danger of infection is
greatest. The crowded and ill-ven tia
ted public hall or street car should be
on his black list. The man who is able
and willing to walk back and forth from
his home to his work place every day
instead of riding in the cars is mater
tally increasing his chances of surviving
the winter

vent pneumonia patient from injecting

knowledge that the situation demands,
and he is not doing his duty unless he
gives full instructions and sees that they
are followed.
There is nothing spectacular or dra-
matte in the struggle against pneu-
monia, as the health department bulle-
tin points out. It is persistent public
educational work. that will tell in the
end. The more of it the better.-Chicago

MURDER CONSPIRACIES.
Better to Keep the Members of the
Various Societies Out.

What with Chinese highbinders.
Italian mafias and Cameras, and now
the warning revolutionary feudS of the
Armenians, we certainly are afflicted
with enough foreign murder gangs to
replace ably defunct Fenian conEpira-
cies of years ago. 1t was not. indeed,
SO many years ago that Dr. Cronln
was murered in Chicago for betraying
Clan-na-GaeI secrets: but there is rea-
son to believe that his assassina ton
was the expiring gasp of that form of
murder conspiracy.
The Chinese highbinders are still in
their murderous heyday, as the assas-
slnatlon of Sam Jim only last week
proved. The malta we have always with
US. From time to time a man known
to be out with that influential italian
lonesome place with a wound leading
straight and clean to a heart which
no longer beats.
The Armenian Hentchagists, Alta
rists and Passivits have as yet scarce
" swum into the ken of the American
public. Their feuds recently resulted,
however. in q nlurdarous attack on
an Armenian editor in Boston, and
then in a similar assault on an Arme-
MAN leader at Lausanne, Switzerland;
and now an Armenian from Lowell,
Mass, has assassinated the Hent-
chaFlst revolutionary leader Sagouni
in London. Many other mysterious
crimes among the Armenians in this
country have escaped general atten-
ton. Doubtless they have sprung
from <hese feuds
When assassinations of this sort take
place, we might be inclined to saw of
the contestants, as Iago said of Cassie
and Roderige, that whether Hentcha-
Tist kill AIfarist, or highbinder kill
Highlander. or the other way
around, either way makes our gain.
We are not interested in keeping the
ranks of these various murder sd
cieties full Yet unpublished crimes of
any sort are a detrinent.
1t would be much better to keep
these emissaries of murder out of the
country altogether, by additional and
wholesome restrictions placed on i'm
migration. than to let them come in
and Kill one another here.-Mail and

YALE IS VICTORIOUS.
Only One Touchdown Made in
First Half.

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 21.-At the
end of the first half of the football game
here this afternoon the score stood,
Yale 5, Harvard 0.
Harvard kicked off at 2:10. Shevlin
caught the ball on Yale's five yard line
and ran it back 20 yards In the in
reference Mitchell was cut over the
eye and there was a short delay. The
first scrimmage took place on Yale'5
% yard line. Farmer gained two yards.
Harvard held well and Yale was forced
to kick. Mitchell punted out of bounds
at Harvard's forty yard line.
Marshall circled Yale's end for 25
yards. Rushes by Harvard gained z
yards more. but to no avail. for Har-
ward was Denalized 10 yards for hold
ing in the line. Yale got the ball on
it's own 45-yard line. Mitchell of Yale
kicked to Captain Marshall on his own
25-yard line. The Crimson leader was
doWned after a 20-yard run. Nichols
slammed into the Yale line for 4-yard
gain. and it was Harvraos first down
with the ball on her own 50-yard line.
The Harvard offense was very vicious.
Again Harvard was penalized 10 yards
for rough work in the line. An injury
to Lemoyne delayed the play. Nichols
was then called upon to kick. There
was another wretched pause, but again
Harvard's punter gained the ball. He
was thrown after a run across the field
The ball went to aYle on downs and
the Ellis plunged through the center
for three yards Hogan, Yale's tackle
was then given the ball for the first
time and tore his way through for q
clean 5-yard gain. The ball was now
Yale's on Harvard's 2S-yard line. Mich
OILS Of Harvard was kicked in the head
and required attention.
Yale scored Kinney making a touch
down. The ball by smashing tactics on
Yale's part had been landed within
three yards of Harvard's goal line. 1t
was a difficult goal and Mitchell failed
to kick it. Score: Yale s: Harvard 0.
Five minutes after play was resumed
in the last half, Yale scored a touch
down.
Mitchell failed to kick the goal. The
score: Yale, 10; Harvard. 0.

The Union and the State

Since the Australian states like New
Zealand, have gone so far in the direc-
ton of government ownership and OPP
Grafton of railroads, telegraphs and
other public services, it is always worth
while to note the effect of such policy
upon the political and economic position
of organized labor. Trades unionism
has. in fact, been a potent, if not a
dominant, factor much of the time in
the legislatures and government of the
Australian colonies. But the govern
ment employees connected with the rail-
roads and kindred services have not
been permitted to affiliate themselves
with organized political and labor
movements. Some weeks ago, however
in the colony of Victoria, the contract
labor organization, known as the Trades
Hall, at Melbourne, undertook to bring
the railway employees into aff1llation
with it; and the local motive engineers
ventured to respond and join the or
ganization. They were instructed by the
prime minister, Mr.. Irvine, that this
was against the rules of the service.
They persisted, however, and threaten
ed to strike and tie up the whole trans
portation system of the colony. Mr..
Irvine's refusal to concede anything led
finally to the preeipita ton OF the strike,
with the result of very serious incon-
venience to the public. The premier
Immediately called the provincial par
lament in session, and introduced a
drastic measure, treating the strike as
a conspiracy against the STATE, partlcl-
patton in il to be punishable by large
fine and a considerable term Of impris-
onment.
Although the labor party was strong
w represented in parliament it was rot
able to oppose successfully the tremen-
dous force of public opinion, which
came to the support of Mr.. Irvine. The
Ipshot was that the strikers surrender
ed Internationally and went back to
work. The point is now regarded in
Australia as settled that trade unionism
cannot invade the public service of a
state and dictate to q sovereign govern
ment. Organized labor will continue
to be a strong force in Australia, but
this and various other events of the
mast wear or two have been teaching it
that the government cannot be run in
the interest of a single class.-Review

SHERIFF SEXES COAL.
How the Leoti Fuel Famine
Was Broken.

Iseoti, Kan, Nov. 21.-The coal famine
which has resulted from the exhaustion
OF the local supply was relieved here
yesterday when Sheriff Herman Thrapp
seized and sold at public sale six car
loads of coal which for several days
have been standing upon the Missouri
Pacific railroad siding. The coal was
sold in 1, 900 pound lots at the prevailing
market price. Sheriff Thrapp has de-
posted the money in his office and it
viii be turned over to the owner of the
coal when it's ownership is proven. The
coal was in transit, bound for Colorado
from the Usage county mines 1t nad
been held here several days and may
have been the property of the railroad
company.
The oonfscation Of coal by a county
official is without a precedent in the
state, so far as is known. His unusual
action may get Sheriff Thrapp into trou-
BILE but the people of Leoti will stand
by him until the finish as they claim
that state of famine existed and that
ne was perfectly justified in selling the
coal to relieve their want There Is no
local coal supply and at times the town
Is In dire need of fuel. Confiscation or
coal by the railroad companies operat-
ing through Kansas has become an es-
4ab1ished custom against which no pro-
test Is made by the owners of the coal,
payment always being made upon de-
9nand.
In years past the shipment Of coal
4hrough Wichita and other short grass
counties where the coal supply is limited,
has been rather precarious, but never has
khe fuel been taken in wholesale quantities
as this time. During times when the coal
ned IN trains and helped themselves to
coal without Offering to pay for it, Several
years ago the coal supply ran out The
4arnners and townspeople boarded the
moving trains and overpowered the resist
ing traknmen while others threw coal
from the cars to the right Of way. the
drain was nearly unloaded before it had
crossed the next county line and the coal
was gathered from the ground by men IN
NO aons who ha1lIed il away and burned it.

Attention
farmers.

Why remain in the North and
stay in doors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. If you are a stock raiser
you know your stock are now
"eating their heads off, and,
besides. have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by ex-
pensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination of both
f1esh-forming and fat-forming
foods in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce in
abundance the velvet bean and
cassava, the first flesh pro-
Queer and the latter a fat pro-
Queer, and they are the cheapest
and best fsttening materials
known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general farm
ing, fruit and berry growing and
truck gardening along our road
in the South than in any other
section of the Union.
