AN OLD soLDIERs' REUNION.

The editor of this paper is an ex-

soldier theory that the law compelling

when selecting their appointees, is a good
one. 1t looks to us like class legislation
also like old soldiers do not feel like
they stand an even chance in a fair
race. Next to law prohibiting the APP
pointment of old soldiers, if such a law
could be enacted, we think the old sol
der preference law rejects as unfayor-
ably on the old veteran as any law
could.--Holton Recorder.

Washerwomen and Consumption.

Statistics have shown over and over
again that washerwomen are much
more likely to contract tuberculosis
and actually suffer from the disease
in much larger proportion than other
working women of the same grade of
life- This is due to the fact that the
expectoration of the tuberculosis pa
tients clinging to their various articles
of clothing is not rendered nom
viruient by antiseptics or by boiling
before they come into the hands of the
washerwoman. 1t is particularly
handkerchief that are the most dan
gerous in this respect, and the en-
forcement of sanitary regulations with
regard to expectoration is sure to add
to the danger. 1t would be well if the
handkerchief (Which the Cinnamon
of the better classes would disdain to
carry with him once 1T has been
soiled, but which he hands over to his
servant to be disposed of by burning)
could become the rule in this country.
Until it does however, physicians
should call the attention, especially of
those suffering from tuberculosis, to
the necessity for having their hand
kerchiefs soaked for some time in a
suitable antiseptic solution before
allowing them to be sent out to be-
come a possible danger for the over
worked and underfed poor. There is
scarcely any sanitary regulation, the
enforcement of which does not bring
in it's train considerations requiring
further development of sanitary pre-
cautions. The effort to stop the spit
ting nuisance is only another example
of this, and if it will serve to bring
home to Athe minds of the inhabitants
of great cities generally the necessity
for care with regard to nasal and oral
secretions and excretions, then an ex-
tremely important lesson in public
hygiene will have been learned

Man as Housekeeper.

An eastern exchange in commenting
on the household servant problem says
that efforts to simplify work, reduce
the results in domestic administration
of manufacturing and business methods.
1t then expresses the belief that If the
men of the United States had to do al
the Homework of the country for ten
years-not to hire it done, but to5 do it
themselves-there would be such shak-
ing up of methods as twenty centuries
have not brought about, and when the
women came back to their own they
would find adequate tools for carrying
on home life. For mans conception of
housekeeping, says this authority,
the house he would have under opera
ton in six months would be a big ma
chine
Would it be, indeed? 1t is favorite
theory of the average man that he could
improve on his wife's housekeeping, but
there has been ample opportunity in
twenty centuries for a testing of this
belief, and no proof of its soundness
has ever been offered. Are not men at
the head of the biggest households of
the country-namely, hotels, and is
that of the well-ordered private estab-
lishment? Is the hotel more econom
ically managed, is it cleaner, are its
processes simplified are its beds made
or its rooms swept or its dishes washed
by touching a button?" Is the servant
question any less of a problem to the
hotel keeper than it is to the woman
who keeps maid of all work-when
she can keep her?-Indianapolis Star

THE TREATY OF PORTSMOUTH.

-Of EOIh1 4.
Yesterday. only one week from the
day when Japan's magnanimous con-
cessions made the drafting of peace
treaty possible, the ENJOYS at the
Portsmouth conference affixed their
signatures to that historic document.
Thus We're concluded, so far as lay
within the power of any save the car
of Russia and the mikado of Japan,
the negotiations that have 50 tre-
mendously augmented and extended
the reputation of the president of the
United States. Without Mr.. Roosevelt
the scene in the big plain navy yard
building at Portsmouth would not
have been enacted. Another might
have called the conference Another
might have given voice to the worlds
hopes when the issue seemed in doubt
No other would have done what he
did. in the way he did it, at the time
he did it, or under the circumstances
that moved him to act at the critical
moment. When ina.futrire an historic
painter attempts to picture on canvas

he must omit from it the foremost
figure in the conference, for the man
who made peace was the man OF

WILL The WAR STOP?

From the latest advicas i: seen ;
probahle that the war between Russia
and Japan may soon cease.
Russia is in great need OF reoreanlz
Ing the battered army and Japan has
net men enough IN the field to keen
UP hostiiitle; all along the line during
thu next few weeks. Both armies, it
seems, are taking little rest.
Meantime the spirit of peace seems
to be getting a hold on Russia. France
is no longer willing 20 lend money to
Russia with which to keep up hostll-
ties ani so while the armies are TAX
Ing little time to readjust matters
after the great battle or rather the cam
paign at Mukden, 1t may be that pro-
posals OF peace will be made. The
whole world will hope for such turn,
for all reasonable peopls are sick with
the awful tales of carnage and death.
