eARsERs' SHOP DISEASES.
Patrons Advised to Have Their Own BruAh and Comb-CarboHc Acid
 for the Raxor.

The transference to his cuA- toners, by means of his hands and instruments, of many parasit. ic skin diseases has long been rec ognized as one of the unnecessary accomplishments of the necessary barber Among these affections, says American Medicine, are sycosis, impetigo, seborrheic alo- pecia aud furunculosis that is more or less chronic in type. Dr. Graham Chambers states that during the past five years impeu. go circinati has been very prev. alent in Toronto, scarcely a month passing without an outbreak of from two to thirty cases, gener. ally traceable to a common source. The barber shop is so com. monly the source that he desfg. mates the disease as "barbers' i'm. petigo." Quite recently Dr. w A. Hardaway has called attention to . point which he believes, and we think rightly, has been but lit. tie realized by the medical profes. sion. That Is the frequency with which carbuncles are acquired is barber shops. He has seen many cases of carbuncle in which tho evidence of this means of trans. mission was to him indisputable. The relative importance of this se- rious affection as compared with the other diseases mentioned needs scarcely to be impressed. For the prevention of contagion in barber shops, Hardaway be- lieves that we will be forced to rely upon an educated public opinion rather than upon compul. sory laws directed against the barber. He recommends that each patron of a barber shop pro. vide himself with box, contain ing his own brush and comb, a small package of absorbent cot. ton and a i've per cent. carbolis acid solution. The barber will then wipe his shears or clippers with the solution, and use the pa. tron's comb and. brush. For the man who slaves his own soap, cup and brush are necessities. These suggestions are sensible. To car. ry them cut properly means some inconvenience, but it is worth while, especially to the aged and debilitated, or to those suffering from diabetes or similar diathe- sis. Physicians attending such pa- tients should extend them a warn ing fin this regard.

ANCIENT DoLL-liKE lpOLS
Were Found Embedded in Walls q Ancient Cliff Dwsllinss Near
 0Anta Io.

While exploring the Puye and shudnne cliff dwellings near san- ta Fe recently Dr. R. W. scheuss. Ter discovered some antiques of . kind not previously catalosued by students of that region. No. ticing upon the wall of an ancient dwelling some spots of an unu. sual color, he dug into the soft stone with his pocketknife and discovered hole s inches in diam. eter and 12 inches deep, partly filled with mud. Inside was i'm. bedded . stick on which was mounted . dolls head. In tho same hole was a small, highly pol ished turquoise.
 Dr. Schuessler investigated fur ther. He found three more of the sealed openings, each of them containing a doll and a turquoise. One of the holes contained piece of petrified resin, in which tooth marks indicated that it lad been used as the chewing gum of the day. The probability is that the doll heads were idols, but the sig aifcance of burying them in the mesa walls and the presence of he turquoise arc not explained

by him yesterday. But he holds firmly
to his denial that he poisoned any one
of them.
All along the route from the Chicago
avenue police station to the Criminal

up and hung his head. All sorts of re-
marks were made about him by the

PASS RAILWAY BILL
POWER TO REGULATE FRE,eHrs
Senate Passes Eseh-Townsend Bill En-
larsing Powers of Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Washington, Feb. 10.-After nearly
four days OF discussion the House yes
terday, by a vote of 32G to II. passed
the Esch-Townsend bill providing for
the regulation of freight rates. The
negative vote was made up of eleven
Republicans and six Democrats.
The closing hours of the debate were
occupied by Messrs. Williams, the mi
nority leader. and Hepburn Qowa).
chairman of the committee which re-
ported the bill.
The speech of Mr. Hepburn was
rather in defense of himself. He said
that his deeds and acts were n sutfl-
Client answer to the lies and ISLANDERS"
which had been neaped upon him. The
bill known as the Hepburn bill. he said,
had been prepared by the attorney gen
eral and he only yielded to his col
leagues on the committee on the Esch-
Townsend bill because he did not want
dissension. He devoted some time to
a strong presentation of the merits OF
t..e majority measure.
Mr.. De Almond tMo.) while admit
ting the necessity for legislation, at
tackled the Esch-Townsend bill as be-
ing an inadequate treatment of the
question. The bill, lie said. was sin
eularly lacking in its compliance with
tHe VI lLiv L
1t did not reach private car lines, and
1t was not to be supposed that the
courts would be eager and searching
in the endeayor tc find in it something
on that subject which its authors them
selves could not find.
The closing remarks for the minor.
ity were made by Mr.. Williams (Mts-
sissippD who at the outset congratu-
lated the House upon the fact that not
only in the matter of rate legislation,
but in several other particulars, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, nominated by the Re-
publican party and elected by the peo-
ple," was beginning to assume dis
tinctly Democratic attitude. lie said
he had begun to hope that the Presi-
dent would recommend revision of the
tariff. and that the President would see
that 1t was altogether absurd to keep
20, 900 more soldiers than were needed.
Addressing himself to the hepubli-
cans, Mr.. Williams said they needed
nothing more than marking out of
the pathway to follow the President.
not because he is President or n
Republican, but because he was outlin-
ing the proper policy for the Amcri-
can people.
oh" he said. amid Democratic
laughter. Il know how non-partisan
you are"
Mr.. Williams said 1t might be true in
some things, as Mr.. Grosvenor stated
yesterday, that the Democrats "camped
tonight where we camped last night"
but he loudly proclaimed, facing the
Republican side, that on this question.
''it Is you who are camping this year
where the Democrats camped last
year"
If, he said. the majority in the House
did not follow the Presidents recon-
mendations. 1t proved the necessity for
an automatic coupler between the
White House and the House of Repre-
scntatives.

SPECIAL MESSAGE.
President Recommends Thorough Sur
vey Of the Philippines.

Washington, Feb 9.-The President
ias sent a special message to Congress
which is, In part, as follows:
Circumstances have placed under
he control of this government the
.,hilippine archipelago. The islands OF
hat group present as many interesting
md novel questions with respect to
heir ethnology. their fauna and flora
md their geology and general re-
.ources as any region of the world. At
ny request the National Academy OF
;ciences appointed n committee to CON
ider and report upon the desirability
u instituting scientific explorations OF
ne Philippine Islands"
This report and the draft of bill
.lroviding for surveys accompany the
message.
The President further says:
1.-THE scientific surveys which should
1e taken go far beyond any surveys or
xplorations which the government OF
he Philippine islands. however, com
.letely self.supporting. could be ex.
lected to make The surveys. while of
curse beneficial to the people of the
hiiippine islands, should be under
AIKEN as a national work for the In
ormation not merely of the people OF
he Philippine islands, but of the peo-
lie of this country and Of the world.
81 recommend. therefore. that pro-
ision be made for the appointment of
| board of surveys to superintend the
:ational surveys and explorations to
Je made In the Philippine Islands. and
hat appropriation be made from time
O time to meet the necessary expenses
( such investigation. 1t is not prob
lble that the survey would be complet-
d in less period than that of eight or
en- years. but 1t is well that 1t should
)e begun In the near future
He wishes the survey to BE- conBtd-
red as a work in the interest of sci
nee and not as an expense of the

THE FARM AND RANGE
M.e,ronl. or purum, Wheat.

The experiments now being con-
Quoted by the Colorado experiment sta
tiop with Durum Commonly known
as macaroni) wheat, may be step
towards converting much OF the arid
land In Colorado into fields of wheat.
Durum wheat was introduced into the
United States by Prof. NJ. A. Carlton,
cerealist of the Department of Agri-
culture. and was brought from the arid
plains of Russia. In Its native land.
Durum wheat natures where the rain
fail averages seven inches per annum
or about one-half that in Colorado east
of the mountains. 1t Is one OF the
hardest varieties and the ear is heav-
lily bearded.
Many Colorado farmers have been
induced to grow this variety of wheat
on dry tracts of land where water
could not be obtained with good crops
One farmer, In particular. near Platte
Vile got forty-seyen bushels per acre
off OF unirrigated land, during the last
year. But he met with the s.same diff
Guilty that all the others have. The mil
Ter would not accept the grain because
II is the common belief that 1t will not
make flour suitable for market.
B. f. Hottie, manager of the Lindell
mills at Fort Collins, has Joined the
agricultural department at the college
in continuing experiments with this
flour through the baking tests. Durum
wheat has been milled by Mr.. Hottie
and the flour has been tried in both
bread and biscuit tests in competition
with the best flour on the market. Du-
rum wheat flour has no superior.
Mr.. Hottie is accepting Durum wheat
at his mill at the same price as the
other varieties and has received or
ders from out of the state for Durum
flour, which he has difficulty in filling
because of scarcity of the grain. The
farmer from Platteville who raised for
ty-seyen bushels of Durum wheat to
the acre on unirrigated land. hauled
his wheat to Fort Collins and got $1.65
n hundred for 1t.
The agricultural department at the
college offered prize for the best loaf
of bread made from Durum flour. More
than twenty ladies' competed In the
contest. Mrs. Paddock. wife of Prof
Wendell Paddock, was awarded the
prize.

Sugar Beet Experiment.

Or. C. o. Townsend, sugar beet ex-
pert of the United States Agricultural
Department, passed through Denver
recently on his return to Washington
from Fort Collins. where he had been
lecturing at the short course" at the
Colorado Agricultural College.
Experiments for improving sugar
beets, now being carried on by the
government, formed portion OF the
lectures which DIR. Townsend delivered
before the class at the college.
Speaking OF this work. he said:
1--WE are trying to improve both the
seed and the beet. and are trying to
eliminate fungus and insect pests. My
work is almost wholly with the fungus,
with the diseases of the plant. There
are two or three of this class of pests
in the United States but you are not
bothered much with them in the West.
You have the disease known as curly
top" in some isolated localities. We
have been working upon this for about
three years with little progress. AS
vet, we do not know the cause. One
thing has been demonstrated. and that
is that the disease never occurs two
succeeding years in the same locality.
We have been trying to produce, arti-
ficially, similar conditions in our effort
to find the cause, but have met with
little success.
"The development of single germ
seed is one of the objects which we are
seeking to attain. This will do away
with the hand thinning of the beets.
which now constitutes twenty-five per
cent. of the cost of growing. We Ilso
are trying to increase the tonnage per
acre and have made some progress by
fertilization and selection. The cYer-
age tonnage of the whole United
States last year was seven tons. This
is very low"
