FLETCHER WANTS Old
PLACE ON COMMITTEE
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Dec. 6.-At Represen-
tative Fletcher s request, he and Rep
ference with ses Speaker Cannon
Fletcher's committee assignments
Fletcher is very anxious to go back
to the interstate and foreign commerce
committee, where he served for many
years, but his place has now been taken
by Representative Stevens of st. Paul,
who, of course, does not feel like step
ping down and out, nor does Fletcher
however, that in some way the speaker
may see his way clear to putting him
on the committee with Stevens, but
the outlook for such settlement does
not look bright. The interstate and
foreign commerce committee is one Of
the major committees of the house and
the speaker is unwilling to give any
one state two representatives on it.
This is the difficulty Fletcher is trying
to overcome, but as yet without sue
cess.

Cold water is the universal tonic.
The best time for taking a cold bath
for tonic effect is just after getting
cut of bed in the morning, when the
body is warm. A cold bath should
never be taken when one is chilled.
One not accustomed to cold bathing
should begin carefully with water not
colder than rs deg. f. The bath should
be short, not to exceed a minute, and
for feeble persons not more than if-
teen or thirty seconds when applied
to the whole surface. The bath
should be Immediately followed by
rubbing and exercise for fifteen to
thirty minutes. There should always
be good reaction; that is, the whole
surface, including the hands and feet,
should quickly become warm. The
Lath should not be followed by Ian
guor, headache, lassitude or other in
dications of excessive reaction. When
one experiences such symptoms. the
indication is that the bath was too
long or too cold or not followed by
sufficient exercise. For feeble, very
young or elderly persons the water
used should rarely be lower than Go
degrees to rs degrees in winter, The
bath should be taken in a suitably
warmed room.

side and then on the other, frequently
turning it. but DO not let it become
dry enough to crack when rolled. Roll
it very compactly: with a very sharp
knife cut thin slices from the end
until all is used. Let these dry thor
oughly (they may be prepared sew
eral days before needed and cook in
boiling sailed water about twenty
minutes. Drain in a colander, and

Any of the various forms of macaroni
may be substituted for the noodles.
Stuffed Potatoes.-Bake smooth po-
tatoes until just done. Cut in halves

sIauahter Of the Innoeents.

A study of statistics reveals the ter
rible fact that nearly one-half of all
the human beings born into the world
die before the age of five years. In
the city of Stetten, Germany, nearly
one-half-473 out of every thousand
die during the first year of their lives.
In Ireland, Scotland, Norway and Swe-
den, where children are given better
care, have more outdoor life. and
more intelligent attention is given to
feeding, the number of deaths is only
one-fiftieth as many as in the city
of Stetten, being ten per cent.
Physicians are coming to recognize
that the use of cows milk. which is
infected with the germs of tubercu-
losis, is one OF the most active Of
all the cause Of death among young
children. This should be remem-
bered in the artificial feeding of in
fants. The milk should either be
boiled or well scalded before being
fed to the infant, This rule should
be universally observed for adults as
well as for children, and, If applied.
will save thousands of lives annually.

Double Tracking the snta Fe.

1t would be a colossal undertaking to
double track the Santa Fe all the way
from Chicago to California and the
Gulf of Mexico.
To seriously suggest it now would
provoke a smile from men who know
the cost of such a project.
Yet it may happen some day, if bust
ness continues to increase as rapidly
as in the last decade.
This plan of two tracks from the
Great Lakes to Pacific Ocean does not
necessarily imply hat the tracks will
be laid side by side. In many cases
cut-offs will be used, thus saving ia
mileage as well as train operation.
Using the term in its restricted
sense, by the end of 1905 the Santa Fe
will have more than 300 miles of dou-
bic track in operation. Second tracks
are now being built as follows: To fin
ish the gap between Chicago and JOLT
ct; between several points in Missouri,
a%ggregating 40 miles; to complete the
Emporia cutoff; east, west and south
of Newton, in Kansas, and On both
sides of Ration Mountain, in Colorado
and New Mexico.

HOTBEDS OF CONSUMPTION 3
= Penal Institutions in Many States Proved to Be !
Breeding Places of tuberculosis


It is the duty of the state to protect
its citizens-even those condemned to
pass a term of years in jail. The Ian
ger to the inmates of prisons, from
pulmonary disease, has only lately
been realized. A short time since a
man who had served a sentence in
the Ohio p%enitentiary. declared that
to send him back meant death by
tuberculosis. Inquiry was made. The
head physician announced that the
building was a hotbed of consump-
ton. A prominent official stated that
a ten years sentence was equivalent
to condemning a man to death-by
pulmonary tuberculosis.
DR.. S. A. Knopf. the greatest Ameri-
can authority on tuberculosis, was in
vited to visit the ~penitentiary. with
out hesitation he pronounced it the
most %unsanitary penal institution he
lad ever seen.
The output of many prisons is
enough to convince of the truth of the
above statements. The sallow COM
plexions, weakened bodies, sunken
chests of the ex-convicts, all are the
stamp of murderous prison hygiene.
All the rules for combating the great
white plague are reversed. For sun
light, they are given darkness; for
fresh air, a damp, musty atmosphere;
for out-of-door life a weary indoor
grind, a large part spent within the
narrow confines of a single cell.
Is it not enough to take from a fell
low being his liberty and appropriate
the labor of his hands, without fore
ing him to live under such conditions?
Dare the state continue to condemn
Il of its citizens to such a death?
Shall the sentence in n public prison
cease at its legal expiration, or shall
the poor victim continue to suffer
from it's dire effects until he fills a
c~onsumptive's grave?
In this day of Anti-Tuberculosis
agitation, it would seem that public
institutions, whether asylums, schools,
prisons or assembly halls should be
the first to be brought under proper
sanitary conditions. 1t is useless,
hopeless to educate the masses in re-
gard to the cure and prevention of
tuberculosis and then maintain at
public expense hotbeds for the de-
velopment of consumptives to be fin
ally turned loose in the community.

The daily cold bath is one of the
most effective safeguards against
taking cold. OF equal Importance is
abundance of fresh air in the sleep
ing apartment. Upon the first symp-
toms of "a cold" deep breathing ex-
ercises in the open air or in a we'll
ventilated room should be taken at
frequent intervals. In nearly all
cases where this simple treatment is
taken, there will be no further de-
velopment of the cold, and the symp.
toms will disappear. A doctor con
nected with a large institution for
children recently tried this method
upon the inmates with surprising sue
cess.
There is nothing" he writes,
more irritable than a cough. For a
time | have been so fully assured of
this that l determined, for one min.
ute at least, to lessen the number of
coughs heard in a certain ward OF

the promise of rewards and punish,
ments, l succeeded in having the chill,
dren simply hold their breath when
tempted to cough, and in a little while
I was myself surprised to see how
some of the children entirely recov-
cred from the disease.
Let a person, when tempted 10
cough, draw a long breath. and hold
it until it warns and soothes every
a~iT-cell, and some benefit will soon
be received from this process. The

POINTED

A man Wills his wife money be-
cause she wills it.
A woman's tongue is mightier than
a mans strong right arm.
Umbrellas and self-respect when
lost are seldom regained.
When a bachelor wants to jolly a
married woman he tells her he is
sorry he didn't meet her before it was
too late.
It's easier for a girl to raise a row
than it is for a youth to raise a mus
tache.
It's as cowardly to speak i'll of a
man behind his back as it is danger.
GUS to say it to his face,
Cleanliness is said to be next to
goodness, yet one seldom sees a laun-
dry next door to a church.
A girl doesn't fish for a diamond
ring in her mothers wash-tub.
There is no telling what a day may
bring forth. A man may be happy
