TOO MUCH FLArTERY.
Sometimes Even Good Men Are Upset

"Flattery has diverted many good
men from the coiirse In life that nature
equipped them to follow" remarked the
Mississippian at New Orleans hotel.

spring cold air In these circumstances
IS precisely the same as respiring it
when out of doors, and SO must be
equally healthy. Lastly, as regards
damp, moisture from the lungs will prob
ably account for far more damp than
any influx of moisture laden air through
open windows. Most of us know the
haze which covers the windows in our
living rooms in winter. This film Of
damp, mere indication only of the
amount that Is in the atmosphere OF
the room, derives its source entirely from
our expired air, and it computed that
over half a pint viii be given off in
this way from the lungs Of an adult
during night of nine or ten hours.
| viii now say, in conclusion, that the
experiences of the last few years as
regards the fresh air treatment Of con-
sumption have taught us that we must
fall back on the natural forces Of fresh
air and sunlight as the surest way OF
maintaining health and defeating dis
ease; and in many cases these factors
combine in themselves more efficacy
than all the drugs that could ever be
prescribed.--A doctor in London Mail.

THY RAN A DEAD HEAT SOME MONTHS HENCE
New York Insurance Commissioner Will Take Action Against Equitable.

New York, May 4-After a lengthy conference the insurance commission CTS from Massachusetts. Kentucky. Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Ten nessee announced that they had IT, formally considered the situation in the Equitable society; had talked with State Insurance Superintendent Hen dricks of New York, who had assured the commissioners that the investi- gatiOn as to the management would be completed by June 18th, and that he had decided to await the re suit of this investigation. Further discuss their meeting.
 The commissioners adjourned late this afternoon. The conferees will not meet to receive the report of MT. Hen dricks. as he has promised to send Q report to each of them.
 Among interesting reports in circu- latiOn today was one that Henry NJ. Alexander. son of the president of the Equitable. would succeed his father as one of the trustees of the Hyde stock. MT Alexander made a formal denial of the report and published later a written statement to Jas II. Hyde and Wm. H. Mcintyre, the present trUs- tees. making a declination and rerun- ciatiOn of his appointment under the agreement of September r, 1895.
 The announcement was made to- night that Mfr Hyde intends to con tinue his suits to oust MT. Alexander and demand an accounting.

It vas 9 weir structure not very high high but sufficient to enable the farm CTS to divert some water. About a month ago this structure was taken out, making a flood that threatened the Woodruff dam. It withstood it however but it was not strong enough or high enough to keep back the waters released by the big St. Johns dam.
 The Woodruff dam is, or was. about thirty feet high but there was only a comparatively small storage basin be- hind 1t. It too was a rock and earthen weir structure. designed more to raise the river bed for irrigation purposes than for storage purposes. The town of Woodruff was near by and but lit tie higher hence it is reasonable that when the St. Johns flood came down it practically wiped out the town.
