Town the estimates of heads of de-
partments about fifty million dollars
a year. If there is to be any economy
it will have to come through a moder-
alton of the estimates themselves. In
this direction little can be expected OF
the heads of executive departments.
They have lost the sense of economy.
They no longer believe. it is immoral
for Uncle Sam to spend money un-
necessarily. They have been habit
1ated to the idea of big country and
a worldwide policy. They stand for a
show in all their estimates of ex-
penses.
The president may be able to do
something by investigating some de-
partments in advance of the meeting
of congress, as for example the print
ing office, and by calling in the bureau
chiefs and impressing upon them the
value and virtue of economical man.
agement But the president has hui
man limitations. He cannot person
ally examine the vast bundle of ac-
counts annually thrown on the gov
eminent table. The most he can do in
this way is to vigorously prosecute all
who spend government appropriations
unlawfully.

sickroom Comfort.

In a recent case of illness in which a
trained nurse was employed the pleas
ant air of the sickroom was noticeable.
When commented on, the nurse ex-
planned how it was managed. A few
pieces Of brown paper had been soaked
In saltpeter water and allowed to dry,
says the st. Louis Republic. When
occasion required, a piece Of this was
laid in tin pan kept for the purpose
(the coal scuttle would do), handful
of dried lavender flowers laid upon II
and match applied. The aroma was
particularly refreshing and agreeable
Another suggestion in the same line
applies to the use Of lavender in an
other form. A few drops of oil Of Law
ender poured into glass of very hot
water will purify the air Of room al
most instantly.

THE HOCH CASE.
unlawfully

The reprieve granted Johann Hoch
within an hour of the time when he
was to hang was granted that he
might have his case reviewed by the
supreme court. In order that he might
have the review it was necessary that
he find the money for the cost Of pre-
pairing the record Of the trial. If some
one had not found it for MIN he would
have hanged.
The incident suggests an inquiry.
What kind of justice is it that will
take a mans life in default of some
money to pay the expense fof a re-
view of his trial, a review which is
admitted to be perfectly proper? Hoch
may be guilty. The state of Illinois
may be entitled to his life, but so
long as there is a chance that a mis-
take has been made in the case, the
condemned should have the benefit Of
that chance. This is what supreme
courts are for-the correction of er-
rOrs in trial courts. In Illinois it
seems that a man can have the bene-
fit of the law if he can pay for it.,
but if he cannot he may hang. This
may be law, but it is not equity.
Hoch's is a case which directly con-
tradicts the argument advanced by
Judge Taft in his Yale lecture. The
weakness of the administration of law
in permitting appeals and the conse-
quent escape Of many who should be
condemned he inveighed against
strongly. But as soon as a concrete
case arises like that of Hoch it is seen
that the American people are against
the Taft position and are in favor of
the protection of the life and liberty
of the citizen to the last legal ditch.
Already the Hoch incident has inspired
a movement in the state of Illinois to
guarantee to men in Hoch's predica-
ment free access to the machinery OF
appeal.

HOG TUBERCULOSIS.
Alarming PrevaIeney Reported in
Iowa,

DIES MONIES, Ia, Aug. Paul
Koto, state veterinarian surgeon, an
nounced to the state board of health
yesterday that he has discovered an
alarming prevalency of tuberculosis in
hogs in the state. He recommends a
careful study of the case. He believes
that there is a mog tuberculosis germ
in Iowa which is likely to work great
damage.
The state board Of health mas decid-
ed upon an ispection of all railway and
streetcars in the state. 1t was claimed
that a large part of the disease spread
in the state is carried through COM
mon carrier coaches. The following
officers of the board of health were
elected: President, DR.. r. E. Coniff,
Sioux City; secretary, DR.. ]. F. Ken
neday of Des Moines; president of the
state board of medical examiners, DR..
w. F. Powers of Waterloo; chemist,
DR.. c.. N. Kline of Des Moines; bac-
teriologist, Professor Henry Alberts of
Iowa City.
Ex-Governor William Larabee has
been elected president of the Iowa as
ISOLATION for the study and prevention
of tuberculosis. DR.. Luther E. Stevens
of Des Moines is secretary and the
club will work systematically to eradi-
cate consumption in Iowa.
An experiment is now being tried in
the case of Miss Fannie Laird, prom
inent teacher in the West Des Moines
schools, who says that she is willing to
give up her life that the state may
benefit She has given up her work
and has moved upon the roof of her
mothers home, where a tent has been
pitched. Miss Laird is dieting on raw
eggs and cream and an invitation has
been extended the association to try
such experiments as will be of benefit.

Vary Your Homework.

If you are compelled to do much
homework, try to remember that the
more you vary it and the more you
use all parts of the body evenly the
more it will take the place of real
gymnasium to you. There is no Ques-
ton that there is benefit to be derived
from kneading bread, sweeping and
scrubbing. The only question is, Do
you derive that benefit by making the
most Of these exercises? You can use
them or abuse them as you will. You
can make them a school Of physical
training or a dull system Of drudgery
that saps your spirit and spoils your
figure.

CUPS AND SAUCERS.
Avoid the Eccentric and Stick to the
Standard Shapes.


Eli buying cups and saucers quite as
much attention should be paid to the
shape as to the color or design. The
tact that cup is of a wonderfully del
icate tint or that it has decoSation
which appeals particularly to the pur-
chaser is no guarantee Of its useful
ness, and usefulness must be consid-
cred when one is buying articles that
are to be handled as constantly as are
cups and saucers. The standard pat
terms in cups are. after all, the ones to
be relied on, though one may he tempt
ed by novelties whose eccentricities of
shape are only equaled by their capaci-
ty for causing Inconvenience. These
novelties, after few dozen have been
sold, are generally consigned to that
mysterious place to which things that
do not sell are sent, and the old favor.
lite shapes are again in demand until
another monstrosity is brought out and
foisted upon unsuspecting shoppers.
Manufacturers tell us that, although
not absolutely necessary, it is advisa-
BILE that cup be made on a mold that
can be removed in one piece. This
means that no part Of the cup shall be
so undercut as to bind the mold and
also that no part shall be Of larger di.
ameter than the top, and this is good
rule to follow in buying as well as in
making cups.
Next to the shape Of the cup the han
die must be considered. There is a
certain old and we'll known and much
used pattern in chinaware the one ad-
vantage OF which is that the handles
to the teacups and the large coffee
cups are out Of all proportion to the
cups themselves. The handles are Of
very good shape and are easily taken
hold of, but they are 50 slight and the
cups are SO thick and heavy that one
has anything but a feeling of security
in picking up one when it is full. The
handle of large cup should be in pro-
portion to the size and weight of the
cup, with an opening large enough to
put finger through, and the handle Of
a small cup should be easily grasped
between the thumb and finger-Brook-

it always lends dignity to the simplest
