THE WRONG WAY TO WALK
Inelegant and Slovenly Gait Noticed All Too
Frequently.

not more quickly and fully discovered
that in this vital process lies the
secret remedy for q thousand ills, II
not "the fable fountain of immortal
youth" Men have lived weeks with
out eating days without drinking,
and nights without sleeping; but how
long can we live without breathing?
Twenty ounces Of food and a few
pints of water will supply the body
one day; but, upon low estimate, 1t
requires thirty thousand pints Of air
in the same length Of time.
The delicate machine which this
volume of air enters is said to contain
over 700,000,000 air cells, or little
workshops Into the walls Of these
there flows, like the sewerage of
great city, the foul, venous blood Of
the body. In these remarkable work
shops it is quickly transformed into
a rushing red torrent filled with life
giving oxygen from the air. What a
wonderful invention! What miracu-
lous process! And yet you are trust
ed with operating one of these instru-
ments.
Would you note its magical effect
under proper conditions? Then stand

or, If you are sick in bed, have them
opened. Lift your chest and chin, and

Items that Count.

There Is one important fact that
should be indelibly fixed in the mind
of every thinking, reasoning being,
and that is that any physical derange-
ment, no matter how slight, leaves its
impress on the system, and that the
individual can never be exactly the
same as before. We know this is con-
trary to the opinion generally held, for
we frequently hear the remark made
concerning one who has recently
passed through a slight sickness:
THE doctor says he is as sound as a
bell now!" This is optimism, pure
and simple, on the part of the phys
ician, and it does good by establishing
confidence in the mind of the whilom
patient; but, in reality, t is not so.
No disturbance of the normal course
of the functions can pass away and
leave things exactly as they were. A
permanent damage has been inflicted
and although it is not appreciated at
the time, Nature is a rigid bOokkeeper,
and these apparently trifling debts to
her are duly entered against the indi.
vidual, and you may rely upon 1t that
sooner or later the bill will be pre-
scented. 1t is the sum total Of these
minor injuries that become formida
ble-the accumulation of these trif
ling arrangements that break down
constitutions ultimately.

Consumption Can Be Conquered.


The universal interest in the Anti
tuberculosis movement is shown in
every convention held to consider this
work. The discussions are practical,
not theoretical. The audiences are
popular, not merely professional. The
whole people are intereted.
In a session just closed at Atlanta,
Georgia, many important and interest
ing phases of the prevention and cure
of consumption were considered. DR..
G. p. Amber gave a concise review of
the duty of the physician in charge,
to the patient and family. His paper
was enthusiastically received and
adopted as the sense of the League on
this subject
His points were as follows: First,
tuberculosis is not the fatal disease
commonly believed.
Second-While. communicable 1t can
be made practically harmless by the
proper course on the part Of the
patient.
Third-The chief cause of the high
mortality is late diagnosis,
Fourth-Late diagnosis is caused
by Indifference of the patient to early
symptoms and carelessness on the
part of the physician consulted.
Fifth-By thorough, systematic in
struction of the patient better results
can be accomplished than by medlca-
ton.
Sixth-Instruction of patient, fam
lily and friends, and close observance
on their part of the rules laid down
will practically rob the disease of its
method and means Of extending.

STATE OF NEBRASKA
SELLS PENITENTIARY LAND.

LINCOLN-The state of Nebraska
has sold 500 acres of what is known
as penitentiary land in Seward county
for $31 an acre for one 160-acre tract
and $21.25 for another 160-acre tract,
and has bought twenty acres for the
penitentiary south of Lincoln, paying
therefor 500 an acre. The sale and
purchase were made under authority
of an act of the last legislature per-
hitting the sale of all penitentiary
lands and the purchase of other lands
near the prison. The 320-acre tract
in Seward county brought a total of
SS,906. The land was sold at public
auction. Frank Krause bought the
best 160-acre tract and w. H. Whit
neck bought the cheaper piece. There
remains another 320-acre tract near
Sprague to be sold in the same man
ner. In all about $4,000 will be re-
allied from the land. If the state is
obliged to pay 500 an acre for 200
acres near the penitentiary it will be
$4,000 or $4,000 ahead on the deal.
The state has been renting 200 acres
near the prison, paying therefor Sc a
year. The penitentiary land in Sew
ard county and Lancaster county has
been leased by the state at an average
of about 81 an acre. Owing to this
difference and the need of more land
for the convicts to farm. the land
commissioner for several years has
recommended the sale of the land sit
uated at a distance and the purchase
of other in it's stead.

Tooth Brushes.

DR.. S. II. Arnold gives some interest
Ing facts and good advice in regard
to that daily friend, the tooth brush:
Nearly all brushes are made from
bristles taken from the wild hogs of
Russia or China The handles are
common beef bones. They are made
mostly in Japan, France, England and
Germany, and by one firm in the
United States. Probably English
brushes are the best made and worst
shaped. The French are next in quail
ity, but far ahead in form. Germany
ard Japan are generally imitators.
Some of the most expensive English
and French, and all American brushes
are made in factories under more or
less sanitary conditions but the cheap.
er grades, including all German and
Japanese brushes are made in the
huts of the peasants, where cattle,
dogs, swine, fowls and humans are
herded in common. The bristles and
bone are given out by the dealer and
taken into the country, where they are
assorted by the aged and young chill
dren and diseased persons, the strong
er members of the family working at
more remunerative employment
These cheap brushes are often in
the most unsanitary and wretched sur
roundings imaginable, and It is a sig
nificant fact that after being made
they are seldom sterilzed before
using.
The English brushes are generally
very much too large to be efficient.
The French are better shaped, but are
apt to be too long of head, making
much waste to the brush, and are too
long of bristle.
A wide brush is not advisable be-
cause it limits the movement possibly
longtudinally to the tooth. Long bris.
ties are not the best, because they
bend when the brush is thrust back
between cheek and teeth, and stay
bent till the brush is withdrawn, thus
missing the interproXimal spaces sc
much in need of cleaning. Soft bris
ties become softer when wet, and
utterly fail to enter the spaces at all
If the surface of the bristles is con
caved longitudinally to fit the labia
curve of the teeth, then when the
brush is reversed and used on the lin
quail surfaces, only the ends of the
brush engage the teeth; hence, more
teeth are missed than cleaned, anC
the user is deceived into thinking he
has cleaned his teeth because he ha!
brushed them.
Studying the brush over and what Is
required of it, it would seem that the
brush best adapted to use in the hu
man mouth should have a short, mar
row head, with short, rather stiff bris
ties, trimmed straight longitudinal!
and convex latitudinally, that each lin,
OF bristles may come successfully int
use as the brush is rotated

The Use of the Potato.

According to statistics cited by Wal.

tato is more largely used in Europe
than any other food substance, the
average amount annually eaten per

pounds; Austria, 662 pounds; France,
697 pounds; Norway and Sweden, 739
pounds; Germany, 1928 pounds; Ire

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates.

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates.
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a responsible way
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer of the Southern Rail-
way when he says: "There is no di'
vision of opinion as to the desirability
of stopping all secret or unjustly dis
criminatory devices and practises or
whatsoever character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking of "un-
justly discriminatory" rates and de-
vices, makes distinction which is at
once apparent to common sense. There
may be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex COM
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have
to deal To abolish such opel and
honest discrimination might paralyze
the industries of cities, states and
whole sections of our national terri
tory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
hlLSN III IllC NOiSAuSAOAS Va NAN~
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based on CONNER
cial principles, taking into account the
special conditions which bear upon the
commercial value of the services rem
dered. With the reservation that rates
shall be charged without arbitrary dis
elimination to all shippers alike under
like conditions, the making of rates
should as far as possible have all the
elasticity necessary to permit the devel-
opment of the traffic and to produce the
greatest results to the public and to the
railroads themselves"
The present proposal is, as Mr..
Walker D. Hines of Louisville showed
in his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystalline flexible and
justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates which cannot be
changed except by the intervention Of
some government tribunal, and by this
very process to increase "the tempta-
ton to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent COM
mercial condition. New York Sun.

When a young womans skirt and
young mans trousers show bullying
shape over the knees, their owners
are leading sedentary lives or have
never learned to walk correctly. This
part of the lower limbs should be kept
straight and the ball of the foot, not
the heel, should touch the ground
first. When the head is bent for long

1t is striking TACT that this atti-
tude of head and cnest is expressive,
not only of health and grace, but of
the finer mental qualities. The en-

and awkward, and who knows that
his stiffness and awkwardness are the
direct results of his self-conscious-
ness, should imagine that a strong
string is attached to the upper part
of his chest and held by an invisible
hand above him. All he has to do is
to let his body depend from that
string and keep his head well back of
1T, and his mind and body will alike
become easy and free. The most
graceful walker ever knew told me
that she habitually walked by the aid
of this invisible cord.

THE NEWS IN NEBRASKA
FREIGHT AGENT M'GINNIS
BEFORE STATE BOARD

LINCOLN-Freight Agent McGin-
mis- of the Northwestern appeared be-
fore the state board to explain how
the earnings of the Nebraska mileage
were allotted and incidentally to tell
the board that the road is in hard
lines because it's traffic is almost en-
tirely local The main specification
in the query directed at him was the
charge of Treasurer Mortensen that,
while the Nebraska rates are much
higher than those east of the river,
the net earnings of 81 400 a mile re-
ported to the board are determined by
pro rating the receipts on the through
business according to the mileage
without making such allowance.
Mr.. Mortensen cited, as an instance,
the fact that the rate from Norfolk to
Omaha is as great as the charge from
the river to Chicago, and yet, he esti-
mated, the allowance of the earnings
to the Nebraska mileage would be
only one-slXth of the total. McGinnis
said that while that may be the truth,
the through business is only about 10
per cent of the total. He said that
nearly all the business was done with
Missouri river points, so that the ques-
ton as to the distribution of net earn
ings did not enter. He cited one in
stance of coal shipments from Iowa
where the rate from Omaha to York
was $1.20, as compared with $1.05 for
the haul from the mine to Omaha,
twice the distance covered in the Ne
braska haul, He explained the alb
sence of interstate business over the
lines as due to the fact that the Ne
braska mileage, the Fremont, Ellihorn
& Missouri Valley was originally prac-
tically an independent Nebraska line,
which led merchants and dealers to
form connections with LINCOLN. ON
aha and Sioux City houses.
