AS THEY ARE TOLD.
Native Servants In India Interpret Or
ders Much Too Literally.


Native servants in India have the
generally desirable thought sometimes
inconvenient virtue of the Chinese
doing exactly as they are told. The
trouble is that they seldom use judg
ment.
Lord Roberts, during a campaign in
India, had ordered his man to pre-.
pare his bath at a certain hour. One
day a fierce engagement vas going on
but the servant made his way through
a storm of bullets and appeared at the
commanders side.
"Sahib." said he, your bath Is
ready"
Even a better story comes from an
unknown soldier, who was awakened
one morning by feeling the servant

No Specific Medicine for Tuberculosis

No Specific Medicine for Tuberculosis.
The Committee on the Prevention
of tuberculosis of the Charity Or
ganization Society of New York, in
its annual report recently issued pub
lished the following resolution:
Whereas, There is no specific
medicine for this disease (consump-
rion) known, and the so-called cure,
and specifics, and special methods of
treatment widely advertised in the
daily papers are, in the opinion OF
the committee, without special value,
and do not at all justify the extrava-
CANT claims made for them, and serve
chiefly to enrich the promoters at the
expense of the poor and often ignor-
ant or credulous consumptives; there
fore,
Resolved, That a public
ment be made that it is the unani-
nous opinion Of the members of this
committee that there exists no spe.
cific medicine for the treatment of pull
monary tuberculosis, and that no cure
can be expected from any kind of
medicine or method except the regu-
larly accepted treatment, which relies
mainly upon pure air and nourishing
food"
DR.. s. A. Knopf states very emphat-
ically that consumption is cured Sim
ply and solely by the judicious use of
Gods fresh, pure air, sunshine, plen-
ty of good water, inside and outside,
and good food"
Nevertheless, new specific rem
edies" for this disease are constantly
being exploited. A Paris physician
Is now advocating injections of sea
water into the tissues as a cure for
tuberculosis. An American doctor is
also experimenting with a compound
of raw vegetable juices in connection
with other diet. Both of these So
called remedies, however, have yet to
be thoroughly tested.

goaded till he was crazy with fear
and rage, had run amuck with razor.
The same afternoon two men dash
ed into police headquarters and fell
on the floor exhausted. When they
were able to talk they said that they
had had a running fight for mile.
It's the same old story. Strike SYM
pathizers jeer at the strike breakers
and in some cases throw stones at
them. AS usual, many of the new
men are professional strike breakers,
thugs and roughs, who delight in that
sort of work. They are turned loose
with revolvers and are disposed to
fire on small provocation. At this
writing all the shooting has been done
by strike breakers.
A feature of the strike is the fact
that Chicago has become city of
bundle carriers. There's nothing for
buyers to do but lug the bundles.
Women who wouldn't carry spool
of thread under normal condition
jauntily walk along with packages
of the size of young trunks. Street
cars are filled with shoppers and their
freight-especially with the freight.
The suburbanite with his packages
grins as he beholds the urbanite with
his bundles. AS matters stand the
city man finds the situation uncom-
Portable. 1t promises to become de-
cidedly serious.

DAMAGE From
THE FlOSTS

COLFAX, Wash, May 5.-There is
no doubt that serious damage has
been done to fruit on the uplands and
that vegetables have been injured by
the heavy frost of the past few
nights, when ice was formed in many
places. ]. r. Lee, a fruit grower of
Penewawa. is in town today and says
that matoes. potatoes and beans
have been killed by the frosts. The
vines were killed and there seems
little hope of recovery from the
freeze Mr. Lee says that tomatoes
and beans will be replanted, and it
is not too late now for a fairly good
crop, with favorable weather condi-
tons Fruit along the Snake river
Is said to have escaped injury.
Reports from the upland districts
show that serious damage has been
done to cherries, pears, plums and
other fruits, and some farmers de-
clare even apples have been injured
Such cold weather at this time of
year Is almost unprecedented and
there seems little doubt that the fruit
crop of the country will be cut short
There was heavy damage In the
upper Snake and Clearwater valleys
by the cold wave of February, and
much of the fruit crop was killed
and high prices are predicted. Fruit
growers along the Snake river in
whitman, Garfield and Columbia
counties say that buyers are securing
the country and trying to contract
their crops for delivery as soon as
the various fruits are In season. and
that good prices are being offered.
Many growers have refused to con-
/ tract their crops.

RECORD SALE
OF IDAHO wool

BOISE, Idaho, May 5.-The largest
sale of wool ever made in Idaho was
made in this city Monday when Else
man Bros. of Boston, by their repre-
sentative, sold to Cecil Caverley of
Boston the firms entire purchase in
this section, amounting to 100000
pounds. The price is said to be is
cents.
The Eisemans have been large pur-
chasers of Idaho wool for several
years. A member of the firm was
here last fall when he contracted for
a large portion of that which has just
been sold, since which time he has
been adding to his holdings. Some
of the wool he purchased for 16k
cents and from that up to II cents
and little better.
The sale had been under negotiation
for several days.

CHICAGO, May 5.-For the man
who Graves excitement, this is the
port. Satisfaction guaranteed.
There are as many thrills as ever
there were at Mukden-maybe more.
There is something happening most
every minute.
There's that quality in the air that
fires the blood and makes men step
high; the battle-charged atmosphere
that, they say, is noticed in war time
just before the serried columns crash.
It's effect can be seen by anybody
who scans the busy throng. 1t has
made them keen, alert. Also wary
and springy. No jackrabbit was ever
half as quick to scent danger or half
as rapid in getting away from it.
These are the conservatives, who
would keep out of trouble. They are
the men who wouldn't stop a brick.
Let it co. they say. Don't stop it..

No ADMINISTRATION tiger was ever
as sharp of scent or of vision in To-
eating prey. These are the radicals,
the fellows who glory in throwing
bricks or in seeing them sail through
the air like a shower of German adj
jectives. Jagged they are and cum
brous, these missiles, but they land

whether he is a radical or conserVa-

Street scenes are a mixture of the
wild west and grim war. Express
wagons manned by lusty citizens with
rifles suggest the overland stage with

caravans led by patrol wagons and
surrounded by marching police, have
become commonplace. Large bodies
of police massed at strategic points
give the business district a state-of-

do not wear soldier uniforms.
