The following abstract from the
Cincinnati Lancet-Cllnic in regard to
one of the worst evils of modern child
life is very timely:
Refinement in matters of social
life proceeds hand in hand with re-
finement in other lines as civilization
advances. From the standpoint of the
physician and of the anthropologist,
it is a question whether the physical
side of mankind is improving or de-
generating.
The method OF bringing up chill
dren, especially in the families OF the
wellto-do, is too often serious men
ace to the childs health and develop
ment. Too much indoor life, too
much supervision, too little freedom
of motion AMI will is undoubtedly the
cause of the many weaklings seen in
the families Of the wealthy. Such chill
dren have the characteristics of hot
house plants.
The remedy is, of course, to do away
with the surplus care and attention
bestowed on the child, to let the child
do more for itself, have more free
dom, more fresh air, more play with
other children. Foods and medicines
are only Temporary helps for child
weakness.
Nature is it's own best doctor, and
in the end can take care of dollhouse
children" If fond parents will only
give her the chance.

HEashionU Notes.

Don't wear thin-soled shoes at any
season of the year. One may take
cold from chilling of the feet as the
result of wearing thin-soled shoes in
walking over a cold pavement, even
when the pavement is perfectly dry.
Don't adjust the clothing to suit the
season of the year only, but adapt it
to the weather conditions of each par
ticular day.
Don't wear high-heeled shoes, nor
pointed shoes, nor narrow-soled shoes,
nor tight shoes, nor low shoes. Don't
wear slippers, except in the house.
Shoes must have broad, reasonably
thick soles, plenty of room for the
toes, low heels. Rubber heels are a
great comfort.
Don't support the clothing 81 bands
tight about the waist.
Don't construct the limbs by means
of elastic bands to support the stock
ings. Support all clothing from the
shoulders, not by bands. but by a
properly constructed waist free from
bones, on the union" plan.

Chanued Its Mind,

As mamma was preparing her boy
for breakfast she said: How many
cakes can Eugene eat for his break,
fast this morning?"
81 can eat four, Mamma"
Seated at the table, his appetite
seemed to have materially diminished,
for he ate only one Of the cakes.
Mamma thought you were going to
eat four cakes this morning. What is
the matter?"
We'll" said the five-year-old, my
stomach changed its mind"
1t occurs to us that the wise mans
stomach often changes its mind" as
in this case, but too often that much
abused organ is so pressed upon as to
be convinced against its will, though
of the same opinion still, and, yield
ing to the demands Of an abnormal
appetite, finds itself wishing the real
man had been master over the lust Of
the flesh.

The rapid growth of tuberculosis
among prisoners in the Joliet, ILL.,, pen.
itentiary, attended by a marked In
crease in the prison death rate, has
aroused the officials to action. An In

tuted by the State Board of Health.
The members OF this board do not
deny that under the present conditions
all efforts TO combat the disease are
hopeless. Better general sanitary con

be impossible to prevent the spread OF
tuberculosis to all the present prison
ers and to all who may be so unfortu

This Is another instance of the state
forcing it's citizens to live under con,
ditions which mean almost sure death.
1t is surprising in this day of enlight.

citizens to live, voluntarily. in unsaui.

Moderation in eating, drinking and

Pure air out of the house and with.
in.
The keeping OF every organ OF the
body as far as possible in constant
working order.
Regular exercise every day in all
weathers; supplemented in many
cases by breathing movements, and
by walking and climbing tours.

or seven hours. eve question the

fourteen of them were unable to pre-

Just Discrimination In Railway Rates

JUST DIhCTlHllndlloU III halfway hdleS,
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject In responsible way
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer of the Southern Rail-
way when he says: There Is no di'
vision Of opinion as to the desirability
of stopping all secret or unjustly dis
criminatory devices and practises OF
whatsoever character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking of "un-
justly discriminatory" rates and de-
vices, makes a distinction which Is at
once apparent to common sense. There
may be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex com
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have
to deal. To abolish such open and
honest discrimination might paralyZe
the industries of cities, states and
whole sections Of our national terri
tory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog'
niZed in the conclusions OF lhe inter
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based on CONNER
cial principles, taking into account the
special conditions which bear upon the
commercial value OF the scrt Ices rem
dered. With the reservation that rates
shall be charged without arbitrary dis
elimination to all shippers alike under
like conditions, : the making OF rates
should as far as possible have all the
elasticity necessary to permit the devel-
opment of the traffic and 10 produce the
greatest results TO the public and to the
railroads themselves"
The present proposal Is, as Mr..
Walker d. Hines of Louisville showed
in his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystalline flexible and
Justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates which cannot be
changed except by the Intervention OF
some government tribunal, and by this
very process to increase "the tempta-
ton to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent com.
mercial condition. New York Sun.

The first conductor who played with
a large orchestra in New York was
Louis A. Julien. One of his pieces
was a "Fireman's Quadrille," during
the performance of which an alarm Of
fire was regularly sounded, and a brig
ade of firemen appeared in the hall!
Theodore Thomas was one of Jullien's
violinists for a time, and this may
help to explain why he himself in
1867, when he gave his Terrace Gar
den concerts, once created a sensa-
ton by making the piccolo players
climb up into the trees before the
piece began. On another occasion
the tuba player had been sent be-
hind the audience into the shrubbery.
When he began to play, the police
mistook him for a practical joker who
was disturbing the music, and tried to
arrest him. 81 shall never forget

his Autobiography" "as the poor man

irate policeman, and trying to get in
