Kissing is Healthful

An unnamed medical authority
is quoted in a despatch from Paris
as saying that kissing is not only
harmful, bnt that it is healthful
exercise. cit is admitted" says
this scientist, "that kisses carry
microbes, but so much the better.
The interchange of certain bacilli
is laudable, and it is not so much
the bad bacilli, but the good ones,
that are exchanged. These good
bacilli are really essential to d.
gestion. Kissing, therefore, is a
natural therapeutic practice"
We desire to enroll our selves
under the banner of this hysician.
If we only knew his name we
wonId emblazon it on the temple
of fame just as high as we could
reach. He is agentleman, scholar
and a mighty good judge of a
good thing. Therefore, brethren
sisters, kiss and be happy. The
theory that in kissing only the
good microbes are exchanged
sounds entirely reasonable. We all
know that there are few pleasures
in life comparable to the pressure
of four lips, equally divided as to
sex, and of the right age.
We have before quyted with ap-
proval the authority who likened
a kiss to creation "because it is
made of nothing and God knows
it's good" The French savant is
evidently of the same opinion.
Now let us consign to everlasting
darkness, or to everlasting bach
elorhood Or spinsterhood, which
means the same thing, all those
mortals who refrain
from kissing because they fear
they might accumulate bacilli of a
harmful character.

Softly in your cal,

who was otherwise willing to be,
who was deferred from permitting
the operation, provided the right
man was handy, by any fear OF
bacilli. And certainly no young
man whose lips were in close prox-
unity to pair of red, moist, lus-
cioas pouting lips that waited for
an impression from his own was
ever held back by the thought
that perhaps his bliss might be
favored with few million germs.
Your average young man, if he
has any good red blood in him,
would brave more dangers than
are contained in bacilli for the
pleasure of kiss. We, even
ourselves, might be persuaded to
take chance. -SaltLake Tribune.

The Panama Canal

An interesting article in last
Sundays San Francisco Chronicle
gives a vivid picture of the stu
tion along the Panama canal route,
what is being done, and what is
proposed.
Not much excavating is being
done as yet, the experts are pre-
pairing plans, the chief labor is by
the sanitary corps to get the place
in shape for men 10 work. A
general shaking up of things; the
abatement of nuisances, the killing
of mosquitoes, the draining of
lakes and ponds and covering
stagnant water that cannot be
drained, with oil, and the bring
ing in of supply of pure waiter
to Panama, keep little army
employed. More than a thousand
men are killing mosquitoes. Some
declare that there is no Chagres
fever, but that what believed to
be that was merely mosquitoes.
One enthusiast predicts that when
the work is finished, Panama will
be one of the healthiest of cities.
The writer says that the French
seemed to be utterly Indifferent to
the number of lives sacrificed
when they were at work-that the
laborers died simply by thousands.
Those in>charge now intend to
use fewer laborers and more labor
saving machinery.
We suspect that when the real
work shall be iuaugurated, the
machinery that will be in use Will
be more perfect and varied than
was ever seen before on any pub.
lie or private undertaking. 1t is
going to be a tremendous work.
1t is not much wonder that the
French finally lost heart in view
OF the obstacles before them. This
the Americans must never DO.
The honor Of the great republic
is at stake. 1t is one OF those
undertakings which must be car
ried through. The world is
watching and failure would be a
mighty blow to American prestige.
On the other hand, with the
work carried to triumphal compile
ton, it will be an eighth wonder
Of the world, compared with which
the seven wonders of the old will
seem tame and poor. The motive
behind it, too, is loftier than of
old. Six of the seven wonders
were tombs or moments to the
dead, or offerings to the gods,
while the other was the expression
of wife's devotion to her dead
husband. The canal will be a
monument to modern progress, a
signal station to commerce, a
mighty national defense. Not an
exhibition of some sovereign &
pride and power, not the work of
unrewarded slaves, but the exhi-
bition of the science and power
of a mighty nation working in the
interest of progress, expansion
and the worlds peace. 1t will
cost vast sums of money, good
many lives, but when completed,
commerce will have added one
more route to its circle of the
earth; it will be as a fortress to
guard both our shores, and new
light will be thrown upon the best
way to cope with the diseases that

HAS TOO MANY CHECKS
Runs when Omcer Appears, but Is
Pursued and Taken to
station.

f. c. Toomey, giving his address as Chey-
enne, Wyo, was taken In the attempt to
pass an alleged bogus check at A. L. Gold
smiths saloon at Ninth and Capitol avenue.
The man had two checks for 1910 each,
drawn on the Nebraska National bank in
favor of George Spencer, signed by Charles
c. Blackburn. He represented to the bar
keeper that he was Spencer and showed a
letter written on stationery bearing the let
terhead of the Paxton hotel The letter was
intended to show how he happened to have
the checks. He said he got them after
banking hours Saturday. The letter was
signed by Blackburn. The bartender was
suspicious and called officer Cunningham.
As soon as the officer appeared Toomey
began to run, and when called on to halt
drew a gun. The officer fired at the mans
feet and he replied by shooting at Cunning
ham. The pursuit was kept up and the man
caught, after which he threw away his
weapon. The two checks were examined
at the station and indicated that they were
made out and signed by the same person
who had countersigned them. A blank
check was found in Toomey's pocket which
was identical with the two he had at
tempted to pass. He was held as a sus-
picious character pending more rigid in
vestigation
