STATEMENT BY GOV. HocH.

The fight Kansas is making is .
fight for fair playa fight TO restore
competition and to relieve a great and
growing industry from the grasp Of
an Industrial despotism.
We hope to prove by actual demon
stration that the Standard Oil COM
pany has robbed the oil producer on
one hand and the customer on the
other.
BY engaging in this battle as state
We hope, first, to encourage the loca-
ton OF Independent refinerieS with the
assurance that they Will have the pro-
lection Of the state; and, second, to
enlist other states and the general
government in a battle against mon
opolistic tyranny.
The proposed state refinery is sim
ply a means to an end-not the end

Oil Rnhhinn.

Clothing exposes US to great dan
gers. We wear too many clothes
We dress too warmly, SO the skin be-
comes relaxed. and loses the power to
take care Of itself, and this is the rea-
son oil rubbing is necessary. The
simple removal of a thin layer of oil
by a hot bath may be sufficient to
cause man to take cold, so this must
be replaced by a special Cling, or
some other treatment, in cold wealth
er.
People who are very susceptible to
cold, should be rubbed with oil after
each bath. Oil rubbing is especially
needed In cases in which the skin is
dry, through deficient activity of the
oil glands of the skin. Great care,
however, should be taken to avoid too
vigorous rubbing in the application of
the oil, as sweating is very easily pro-
duced, to the disadvantage of the pa
tent. In the treatment of infants and
children, marked and most favor
able effect upon nutrition is produced
by oil rubbing. Application of oil
after cold baths encourages reaction.
In most cases of chronic dyspepsia
when accompanied by emaciatiOn, in
diabetes, and in most cases in which
malnutrition with dryness of the skin
is a prominent feature, oil rubbing is
a valuable curative agency.

power in Wall street speculation. Its
methods have been sharply criticised.
The panic of May 8, 1901, was openly
laid at its door. The Northern Pa
cifc deal, out OF which that panic
grew, was titanic affair. 1t was
contest between the mightiest finan-
cial interests in the United States. a
more recent episode in the career of
the City bank was the Munroe & Mum
roe affair. The failure of this concern
brought to light the fact that the
largest bank in the United States was
as willing to aid in floating Montreal
& Boston mining stock on credulous
public as to engage in great railroad
deals involving hundreds OF millions
of capital.
Nor is this all. It was Standard
Oil money that started the Amalga-
mated Copper company. Boston peo-
pie have not forgotten that enterprise
They recall the methods employed to
buy control Of the great Boston &
Montana company for a song. They
remember, too, how the price Of Anal
gamated- copper stock was doomed to
about 80, just prior to a dividend re-
duction, in order that the insiders
might unload on the public. And the
part played By the City bank in pro
noting the Amalgamated company is
also fresh in mind. The profit to the
Standard Oil coterie from promoting
and manipulating this enterprise will
never be known; but it is almost in
calculahle.

been growing more and more COM
plete. AS 1T has progressed in other
directions, the Standard Oil clique has
increased its means of sitting compe-
tition in the manufacture and distri-
button of oil. 1t was by railroad re-
bates that it got its first real start;
and now it is itself mighty power in
the management of the railroads of
the United States.
But last week the mandate went
forth for it to be investigated. A res
Clution to this end was rushed
through the national House, and the
President has been prompt to act upon
it. Commissioner Garfield of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor has
been told to institute proceedings, and

specific task, in compliance with the
congressional resolution, is that of in
vestigating the cause of the low price
OF crude oil. and of the unusually
large margins between the crude and
refined products. The aim is to find
cut how much the present situation is
the result of combination or conspir
acy in restraint of trade.
In short, an effort is to be made to
find out everything possible regarding
the Standard Oil company specifcal-
ly. If the Commissioner of Corpora
tons is as successful in this instance
as he was in the case of the beef
trust, he is likely to produce results
that will startle the country. He is
also, It is said, going to look into the
doings of the standard Oil crowd"
An adequate report on the Standard
OH company may enable US to obtain
cheaper oil. But real knowledge OF
the STANDARD Oil crowd" will be of
immense value in conserving the en-
tire financial interests of the people
of the United States, now and here
after-BOStOn Post

Stones Affected bv Weather.

The fact that many natural stones
swell slightly when passing from dry
to a wet condition at the same temper
allure, and shrink correspondingly
when the process is reserved, has been
recognized in numerous tests at the
WATERFOWL arsenal. In the report for
1890 it is stated that a very decided
swelling of the stones was observed in
most cases after soaking them for a
time in water. and that this effect
seemed to increase as the temperature
rose.

Horrors of the Cocaine Habit.


The following illustration of bad ad-
vice in the lecture room is probably
not an exceptional case. A professor
of materia medica lecturing on cocaine
called 1t one of the greatest of all
stimulants and perfectly harmless.
He cited his own experience of its
good effects, and advised the class to
test It personally in debility and ex-
haustion. OF class of thirty-two who
listened to this advice, five became
cocaine takers within two years. Ten
years later thirteen of this class were
drug and spirit takers. In all prob
ability, the use OF cocaine was the
starting point of their addictions.
Four died from the direct use of this
drug. Evidently more than half the
class had followed the advice of the
teacher and were wrecked. A few
years after, the professor became an
invalid and retired from the profess
sion, victim of his own counsel and
confidence in cocaine.

the erection of a tablet to the memory
of a naval hero, during which a we'll

deliver the dedicatory sermon.
Among the interested spectators
present on the occasion in question
was an old colored woman, a servant
in the employ of a friend of the admir-
ais, who was much put out by what
she deemed the excessive length of
the imported preachers discourse.

Cost of tuberculosis.

DR.. Harmon Biggs of New York
american Medicine). after careful
estimation, places the annual expense
of tuberculosis TO the people of the
United States at 1886, 600, 10000. He
first calculates the less to New York
city by putting value of 81 500 upon
each life at the average at which
deaths from tuberculosis occur. This
gives a total value of the lives lost
annually OF $500 10000.
But this is not all. For at least nine
months prior TO death these patients
cannot work, and the loss of service
at one dollar day, together with food.
nursing, medicines, attendance, etc,
at one and one-half dollars a day, re-
suits in a further loss of $4,000. 100000,
making a yearly loss to the munici-
patty OF $23, 000, 000G0. Fer the whole
country the 10000 deaths from tuber-
culosis represent in the same way a
loss of $3.50 000,0 100000.
DR.. Biggs also states that the total
expenditure in the city OF New York
for the care OF tuberculous patients is
not at present over $500,0O000 a year;
that is, it does not exceed two per cent
of the actual loss by death, etc. If
this annual expenditure were doubled
or trebled it would mean a saving of
several thousand lives annually. to say
nothing of the enormous saving in suf-
fering." Further evidence of this is
afforded by the fact that in the last
twenty years the total number of
deaths from tuberculosis in New York
has decreased instead OF increasing.
although there has been an increase
of 20 per cent in the general popula-
ton.

The Health department OF the city of
Philadelphia has decided that in future
tuberculosis shall be classed with
other diseases that are dangerous to
the public health, such as smallpox,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, and other
contagious maladies. The law in
Pennsylvania and most other States of
the Union requires that every case of
contagious disease shall be reported
to the Health department. Hereafter
all cases of tuberculosis must be so
reported by the attending physician
The purpose of this law is to enable

Simple Living and Longevity of the
BraziIians.
According to a writer in a contem-
porary magazine, the BraZilians, when
first discovered. lived the natural, orig
inal life lived by all mankind, as fire.
Quently described in ancient histories,
before laws, or property, or arts made
entrance among men. The BraZilians
lived without business or labor, fur
Their than for their necessary food, by
gathering fruits, herbs and plants;
they knew no drink but water; were
not tempted to drink or cat beyond
cors;non thirst or appetite; were not
troubled with either public or domes-
tic cares, and knew no pleasures but
those simple and natural IN character
Many of these were said. at the
time the country was discovered by
the Europeans, to have lived as long
as two hundred years"
This was without doub, an exagger
alton, but that they were very long
lived is evidenced by the fact thai
within the last quarter Ct a century
there was an old woman living in Rio
Janeiro at the remarkable age of one
hundred and forty-one years.
