NUMBER SO
The Outdoor Treatment For
Diseases.

The effectiveness of the outdoor
treatment for diseases of the respir-
atory organs has received remark
able endorsement in the first report
of the New York State Hospital for
the treatment Of incipient tubercu-
losis, says the Oil City Derrick.
The sanitarium is located in the
Adirondacks, and was opened in
July, 1904, and has admitted eighty
two patients during the past six
months. OF these, eleven have been
discharged as cured, nineteen have
apparently recovered, and in thirty
four the disease has been arrested.
The remainder, while showing
some Improvement, have not been
long enough in the hospital to make
certain positive results.
The patients not only sleep in the
I open air, being only protected from
drafts and snowfalls, but spends
much of the day time out of doors,
playing billiards, cards aud chess
with a roof over their heads and
windbreak to shield them from the
blasts, but there are no walls TO the
leewards. Human beings thrive on
pure air. Pure air is not neoessa
rily cold air, but the general tend
ency is to keep our artificially heat
ed room improperly ventilated. 1t
is in order to insnre absolute puri-
ty of the air that enters the lungs
that the out-of-doOr treatment is
recommended.
With the thermometer flirting
with the zero mark, the very idea
OF those people up in rhe AdirOn-
dacks sleeping in the open air is
enough to make one SILVER, but
the wonderful successes that have
followed this system of treatment
demonstrate how quickly the aver
age human being adapts himself to
natural conditions. The people of
the Arctic regions quickly succumb
1 to climatic influence when removed
to more temperate countries, but
the average resident of the temper
ate zone is more readily acclimated
and manages to endure the most
violent extremes of cold and heat,
ranging from the Klondike to the
equatorial regions with comparative
IMMUNITY.

GOV. TAYLOR,
Now Of Indiana Sends Mock De.
fendant Letter Outlining
His Defense.

Former Governor William S.
Taylor, Kentucky, has sent a let
ter to o. F. Missman, the student
who impersonates him at the mock
trial at Des Moines, Ia, in which
he outlines his defense as fully as
if his life hung in the balance. He
explains in detail that he helped
bring the mountaineers to the State
Capitol purely for moral effect, and
that they served their purpose and
departed five days before the as
sassination of Goebel. AS regards
the latter, he had no knowledge
and never discussed it with any of
the confessed conspirators.
Mr.. Taylor has taken an active
interest in trial, and his attorneys
and those of Caleb Powers. have
been indefatigable in their efforts
to equip the student lawyers with
all information in their possession.

When in 1909, Richard Trevith-
lex uttered the following words
there were many who considered
him an insane, dangerous person /:
"The present generation will use
canals, the next will prefer rail-

enlightened successors will employ
steam crrrlages on railways as the
perfection of the art of convey

when Benjamin Franklin first
took the coach from Philadelphia
to New York he spent four days on
the journey. He tells us that, as
the old driver logged along. he
spent his time knitting stockings.
Two stage coaches and eight horses

was carried on between Boston and
New York, and in winter the jour
ney occupied a week.
Napoleon, at the height of his
power, could not command our

Facts Which Tend To Show How

Not until February of 1712 did
the people of Kentucky know that
Madison was elected President in
the previous November.
In 1884 one of the leading rail-
roads printed on its time table
"The locomotive will leave the de-

If an ordinary workman, without
permission, moved from one parish

When Benjamin Franklin first
thought of starting a newspaper in
Philadelphia many of his friends
advised against it, because there
was a paper published in Boston
Some of them doubted that the
country would be able to support
two newspapers. Z
One hundred years ago, the fast

President Roosevelt delivered a
Washington's birthday address be-
fore the students of the University
of Pennsylvania. He compared
Washington and Lincoln, and ex-
pressed the view that history
would recognize these two as Amer
lean statesmen ofpre-eminent great
ness. From Washington's precepts
he deduced principals of conduct
meriting the observance of the
citizen and nation. In the course
of his remarks he found authority
for building up the navy in the
views of Washington, and also of
jackson, and pronounced salts
factory navy establishment to be
the surest guarantee of peace.

BEREA COLLEGE.
Pined $1,000 For Violation of Day
Act, Appeal To Be Taken.

At Richmond, KY, on Feb. 21st.
Berea College was fined $1,000 for
violation of the Day act, the law
passed by the General Assembly
prohibiting the co-education of the
white and colored races.
When the law was passed the
college authorities at once declared
their intention to abide by its pro-
visions pending decision as to it's
constitutionality. In order to
raise the question a technical viola
ton of the act was committed, and
on such violation, by consent, the
college as a corporation was in
dicted.
The college demurred to the in
dictment and the question of CEN
stitutionality was thus raised.
Briefs were filed by both sides and
Judge j. M. Benton overruled the
demurrer and held the law consti-
tutional. The conviction and fine
followed as a matter of course, as
the college made no defense as to
the facts.
The case will go at once to the
Court of Appeals Of Kentucky.

PEACE TERMS
Made Known bu st. Petersburg
Indemnity
the Unsettled
Point.

A dispatch on Feb. %, to Reu-
ter's Telegram Company from ST.
Petersburg, confirms advices from
st, Petersburg to the effect that
peace was under consideration, and
adds that definite terms are being
discussed there. The dispatch
says:
The. question of peace has not
only been formally discussed, but
the conditions on which Russia is
prepared to make peace have pract
ically been agreed upon, These are
as follows:
"Korea is to be placed under
Japanese sovereignty.
sport Arthur and the Lao Tung
peninsula to be coded to Japan.
"Vladivostok to be declared q
neutral port, with an open door.
The Eastern Chinese Railroad t.
&c restored under neutral Internal
ional administration.
"Manchuria, as far north as Har
bin, to be restored as an integra
part of the Chinese Empire.
THE difficulty lies in settling
the question of indemnity, upor
which it is known that Japan in
sists, but it is thought that thii
difficulty is not insuperable.
"The most trustworthy opinion
at st. Petersburg is that, in viev
of the internal situation and tn
enormous difficulty in carrying OIL
the war, peace on the terms outlin
ed will be concluded within com
paratively short time, if the indem
nifty question can be arranged, blu
it is quite possible that Russia will
risk another battle before decis
ion is reached

MultI.MIllIonslre Little Known,

S. W. Allerton, the western multimil-
 lionaire, after a sojourn of some days in
 New York, has gone to his winter home
 in Pasadena, Cal. Mir. Allerton Is one of
 the very rich men of the country about
 whom little is known except by those who
 are close to him. Next to Marshall Field,
 he Is the richest man in Chicago. He Is
 nearly so years old. and has a million dol
 lars for every year of his life. He is
 great admirer of E. H. Hartman, and is
 one of the silent packers of that sagacious
 financier, having on many occasions rolled
 his barrel to the active assistance of the
 magnate He was in with J. J. Mitchell
 of the Illinois Trust and Savings bank of F. H. Hartman on the Alton coup when that property was grabbed from the con trol of the Blackstones a few years ago. a deal that netted the manipulators many miollion dollars in very few weeks and gave them the road practically for noth- ing, only to lose 1t later to the Rock Is- land. Allerton's millions figured influen- tially in the reorganization of Union Pa cific, although his name was never men tioned in connection with that transac- ton. The old man Is comprehensive in his investments. ranging from gilt-edged street car and railroad bonds to farms great ranches in a dozen states, immense herds of cattle and horses, innumerable hogs and sheep, gold mines and lake fleets.

The Mo6ey Situation.

Some of the so-called conservatives in Wall street pretend to be greatly shocked over Secretary Shaw's suggestion that banks dip Into their reserves to tide them- selves over the period of stringency If they acted In accordance with the secre- tary's hint 1t would not be the first time such a thing was done. The argument is used that reserves are created not alone for the security of depositors and creditors, but also to enable banks to meet emergencies just such as now con- fronts them. There was a time in New York, just eleven years ago, when the entire list of clearing house institutions practically confessed insolvency. Out-of- town depositors could not draw down their balances and clearing house certifi- cates to the amount of $40 000. 900 were is- sued as a medium of exchange between the associated banks. It was then that Chicago and two or three other western cities resorted to the expedient of buying gold in London with drafts on New York and having the precious metal brought right to their doors. The gold was ship ped through New York in order to reach its western destination. This action raised a terrible howl in New York, but 1t was the only way the westerners could get their money, and they needed 1t bad ly. The New York banks at that time worked out of their trouble all right and could doubtless do 1t again.
 Conditions now and eleven years ago are totally dissimilar however. During the former period the whole country was
 in dire distress. Banks and business houses were going to pieces by the hum dreds and universal bankruptcy threat ened the country. Now the country is phenosnenally prosperous, the only trou- be being a temporary scarcity of money to expeditiously handle the stupendous

January Disbursements Large.

January disbursements will approxi- mate S6o,0OOooo, a larger sum than was ever before distributed in dividends and interest at any one time. The properties upon which this splendid income is earned have a bond and share capital of about $16, COG, ,000 and market value great CT than any previous year. Some of this January income will come back in the market, of course. but the bNlk of 1t will go into the living expenses of the recip- tents. Nearly all. however, will become available for commercial purposes by re- turning at once into the general reser- voir of bank deposits. Thus indirectly it becomes a benefit to the stock market, and the sentimental effect of the immense disbursements must be helpful.

 Every disease known to man, and espe- cially diseases presenting dramatic pessi- blities, like rabies, Is frequently initiated. These imitators are sometimes very clev- CT and exhibit the symptoms and signs, especially the latter, in such way as to deceive most diagnosticians. In every large metropolitan clinic these neurotic people are constantly seen, and sometimes 1t Is next to impossible to recognize them.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It ls In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
 is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
 ant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t Is not drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and
 impurities always present In the stomach
 and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after
 smoking. drinking or after eating onions
 and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves
 the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and
 further acts as natural and eminently
 safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which
 collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
 disinfects the mouth and throat from the
 poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form
 or another. but probably the best char
 coal and the most for the money, Is in
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large. pleasant tasting lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health. better complexion sweeter breath and purer blood, and tho beauty of it is, that no possible harm car result from their continued use. but or l the contrary. great benefit.
