Dangers of an lII-kept Refrigerator.

Dangers Of an lll-kept Refrigerator.
Most people seem to think that all
that is necessary in order to keep food
from spelling, is to put it in the re-
frigerator. That this is not an in
fallible safeguard, and may even in
some cases do more harm than good,
Is shown by writer in Good House
keeping, who says: "If raspberries
are put in the refrigerator, they will
almost certainly be smitten with mold.
The sagacious housekeeper comes to
lind out that raspberries are as surely
spoiled by sojourn in the ice chest
as they would be by being dropped
into the garbage barrel. Small fruits.
such as raspberries, cherries, straw
berries and currants, are much better
kept on broad tray, carefully spread
out so that the air can circulate
through them.
People arc sometimes poisoned by
the peculiar deterioration that goes
on In refrigerator. | knew q child
In midsummer to sicken and die un-
der circumstances that appeared no
less than mysterious in view of the
extreme sanitary precautions that had
been taken with everything pertaining
to the little one. My own by no means
ungrounded suspicion was that the
milk which had been SO carefully ster-
llized for its use had later on been
deflled by the thick, strong, and COM
plicated smells that infested the ice
chest in which II had been kept, and
whose walls were never thoroughly
dried nor exposed to the suns rays.
A refrigerator that is ill-kept, is
grave for the food that is put into It,
and (not seldom) brings to the grave
the people who use It,"

uses it as means Of defense and can
easily stand on it while scratching for
food with the whole leg. At night,
when roosting, she allows the wooden
leg to hang down behind the perch.

Health Culture.

Health Culture is an aim for all,-
an aim which will make each stronger
and saner. and wiser. and healthier
and better. 1t will make each in the
end more helpful to all. To be sound
in wind and limb; to be healthy in
body and mind; to be educated, to be
emanclpated, to be free. to be beac-
tiful-these things are ends towards
which we should all strive. and Ly at
tanning which all are happier in them
selves and more useful to others.

TUBERCULOSIS NOT HEREDITARY
Children Become Infected by Well
Meaning But Iqnorant Parents,

Children Become Infected by Well
Meaning But Ignorant Parents.
DR.. S. A. Knopf, who is an authority
on the subject of tuberculosis, consid.
ers that the popular notion concerning
hereditary consumption is absolutely
erroneous. The child is usually in
fected by well-meaning but ignorant
parents after birth. The most COM
mon modes of infection are the fol-
lowing: "The consumptive mother
caresses the child, and kisses it on
the mouth; she prepares the food,
tasting it, to judge its temperature and
flavor, through the same rubber nip
pie or with the same spoon the child
uses and thus u1consciously conveys
the germs of her disease from her own
mouth to that of the child. Later on
the child will play on the floor of the
room, and should there be a consump-
tive in the family who, from careless
ness or ignorance, is careless in the
disposal of his eXpectoration, the child
is indeed likely to be infected. The
little one, while playing on the floor,
may very easily inhale the bacilli
floating in the dust in the air, and can
thus acquire tuberculosis by inhala-
ton. Again, the little child touches
everything it can take hold of, infect
ing its fingers thoroughly, and by put
ting them in it's mouth, tuberculosis
by ingestion may result, and gradual
ly develop into consumption of the
bowels. Lastly, should the child's
nails be neglected it may scratch it.
self with the infected fingers, and tu-
berculosis of the skin, or lupus, may
result from such an unfortunate acci-
dent"
Precautionary Measures.
To prevent these infections during
childhood, DIR. Knopf recommends the
following precautions: Not only
should consumptives be religiously
careful with their expectorations, but
they should associate as little as pos
sible with young children, and stay
away from playrooms and Fairgrounds.
Kissing children on the mouth should
never be allowed. and the little ones
should be taught never to kiss or be
kissed by strangers. The floor on
which the child plays should be kept
scrupulously clean. Carpets in such a
place are an abomination; they only
serve as dust and dirt collectors and
not infrequently harbor the germs of
contagious diseases. The hands and
nails of little children should be kept
as clean as possible.
Although tuberculosis is not heredi-
tary, tendency or predisposition to
the disease may be inherited. This
condition may be overcome by ju-
dicious training, proper food, plenty of
outdoor exercise, and the avoidance of
all excesses. All predisposed individu-
ais should dress sensibly and accord
ing to the season. Never should they
wear garments which restrict circula-
tion or hinder the free action of the
chest or abdomen. Tightly laced cor
sets, tight neckwear. tight shoes, are
all particularly dangerous to the indi-
vidual predisposed to tuberculosis.

GATES uNLoADs WHEAT.
Deal in May Delivery Receives It's
Death Blow.

Chicago, April 21.-The celebrated
deal IN May wheat, attributed to John
w. Gates, received seemingly it's death
blow yesterday. Possibly as much as
100000 bushels for May delivery were
dumped on the market. AS a result,
there was break OF five cents a bush
ed in the price, quotations for May
falling to $1091a. Some operators pro-
fessed an opinion that the slump was
due to heavy eastern holders of May
wheat unloading because of a notable
unrest in the stock market, the alleged
purpose of sellers being to get free to
protect securities in Wall street. A
much more prevalent belief, however,
was that Gates, firing of the burden,
had shifted his May wheat deal to
Armour and others. When the price
fell under $1,10, commission people
poured wheat out on stop loss selling
orders. This caused a breath-catch-
ing slide sheer to $10Sh The total
sales of May wheat were estimated at
100000 to 100000 bushels. At the
close of the session May jumped back
to $1.1O, leaving the net decline for
the day 35s

a Chicago man who says he thinks he
was witness to the killing of "Caes-
ar" Young, for which Nan Patterson

signed by "B Rosen, 36h Fourth
street. Chicago"
The writer says he was in New
York looking for work last June and
was on West Broadway near Cham
bers street when he noticed a cab
containing man and woman. The
man was evidently pleading with the
woman. Suddenly the man pulled
out revolver and shot himself. Ros-

Young kill himself while in the cab
with Nan Patterson in New York was

the day OF the shooting of Young, he
was walking along Broadway, when
he passed cab in which man and
woman were quarreling The woman
was crying and both were greatly ex-
cited. Their conduct interested Els
enberg and he followed them. At

a struggle. Finally the woman, who
was crying all the time, laid her head
or the mans shoulder. The man
then reached around, to his rear
pocket and drew a revolver with
which he shot himself Eisenberg

DEFIEs POLICE CHIEF. :
Old Lighthouse Keeper Says He Can't

Kenosha, Wis, April 21.-Claiming
immunity from arrest on account of
the fact that he was a government Of
fetal, Capt. l.. N Dedeimar, an old
one-armed soldier and keeper of the
Kenosha lighthouse, defied the mem
bers of the Kenosha police force to ar
rest him on q warrant which had been
issued by a justice of the peace here.
Dedeimar at the time was in charge
of the big foghOrn at the entrance OF
Kenosha harbor and he declared that

rest him. The officers did not attempt
to lay violent hands on him, but re-
ported the inability to arrest him to
the justice issuing the warrant, and
the Justice has threatened to have the
matter referred to the United States
officers at Milwaukee. Dedeimar, it is
alleged, assaulted two boys, Vincens
Loeff1er and Carl Erich, while they
were fishing on the pier. One Of the
Boys, the smaller was badly injured.

RAILROAD PRESIDENT WANTS

Public Belief That Some Big Shippers

Causes Agitation for Government
Control of Freight Rates--Com-
mission Also to Blame.

Washington, April 21.-Lucius
futile, president Of the Boston &
Maine railroad, was heard by the SEN
ate committee on interstate commerce
yesterday. He cOntended that II
congress attempted to say that there
should not be charged higher rate
for a short haul than a long haul it
would destroy business and bankrupt
the railroads. He said he had one
complaint to make against the inter
state commerce commission. 1T went
to law too often and did not settle
enough cases by negotiation. Instead
of 80 per cent. of the cases being thus
settled there should be 80 per cent. He
said the commission should be re-
lieved of much of it's present duty 1t
should investigate cases and turn
them over to the department of JUS
tice. The commission should not be
a quasi court, but buffer between the
people and the railroads. He could
see no need for changes in the pres
ent law, save to make the interstate
commerce commission an Investigate
ing and not a prosecuting body. The
agitation that has been going on by
people, he said, was due to the con-
slant reiteration by the interstate
commerce commission that it should
be clothed with the power to tx rates.
1t also was due to the belief that
rebates still were granted, which he
did not believe

sojOurn and not a prolonged stay, ON

that the squadron actually left KAN

ships were in the vicinity during the

therefore, it is held, it had not the
character of giving an asylum to pei
ligerent against the attack OF an enc

size of Kamranh bay permits ships to
enter and anchor without being within
French territorial waters.
1t remains for Toxic, to which the
French reply was sent last night, to
say whether the assurances are consid-
cred sufficient. The opinion prevails
here that M. Delcasse's answer is OF a
nature to avert serious complications.
