Spirited debate was occasioned in the
Senate by the introduction of a bill by
Mr.. Tillman authorizing the interstate
commerce commission to fix maximum
rates. Mr. Foraker declared that the
bill proved that its author believed the
present law sufficient to correct all trans
portation evils except excessive rates.
Mr.. Tillman responded that he had
thought the present laws adequate until
the investigation begun by Judson and
Harmon into the Santa Fe case had
ended in miserable fiasco. The Pan
anna Canal emergency appropriation bill
was received from the House, and after
considerable discussion during which the
high salaries paid employees was criti-

One of the most effective preventives
to disease is the proper ventilation of
our homes, clothing and bedding by

some oversight should be given to the

season of the year is this advice more
