THE PACE THAT KILLS.
Physicians Arrangement of our Mod
ern Society.

ern Society.
Physicians in New York have been
startled by the alarming increase in
the number of sudden deaths due
chiefly to heart disease. DR.. GirdneT,
author of New Yorkitis," makes a
shortcut to @ the real cause of this
mortality when he says: New York
ers are driving themselves like beasts
Of burden. They are working like
dynamos all day, and playing like
idiots at night" To use an old phrase,
they are going the pace that kills"
We cannot lead the strenuous life
without paying for it.. We may work
too hard, eat too fast, play irration-
ally, sleep too little if we wish; but
nature demands its equivalent. Merry
Gus strain means a weakened heart
and other organic troubles-often a
sudden death. And all for what?
Merely to excel someone else in
money getting or in climbing the So
cial ladder.
If a man must work like a dynamo
all day he ought not to be an idiot at
night. And if he plays the idiot So
cially he should not be a business
dynamo. He may stand one or the
other and die from old age; but if he
tries them both it won't be long be-
fore something will break. The dy-
namo may burn out or the idiocy be-
come permanent.
The fact that we are living too fast
for New York has no monopoly on
the strenuous life-is not deduced
from sudden deaths alone. Nervous
strain means accidents, suicide, some
times even murder.
Is the game worth the candle? Is
any fortune or social position that
man can attain compensation for a
combination of dynamo and idiot?
what shall it profit a man if he gain
the whole world and lose his own
soul?"-Chicago Post.

Fashion and consumptlon.

In all American cities and most of
the larger towns promiscuous expec-
toration is prohibited. There are or
dinances and rules against splitting in
public c~onveyances, on the floors of
assembly halls and on the sidewalks.
OF necessity, however, this cannot be
prevented in the cutters and on the
%pavements.
BY educating the tuberculosis pa
tient himself in regard to his duty to
his fellow citizen much more can be
done. A careful consumptive is a
good citizen; a careless consumptive
is an enemy to society and the state.
Even with the civil and self-imposed
precautions. the dust of the highway
and crossings is teeming with various
disease germs. 1t is practically i'm
possible to eliminate these beds Of
filth. In the ~cleanest streets such col
onies of germs are present.
The use of long, dragging skirts on
the average highway is the height of
folly. 1t is worse. 1t is absolutely
dangerous. The sweeping cloth picks
up lust and dampened particles car
rying tubercular germs. They are
thus transplanted into the very house
hold. In this simply yet sadly effec-
tive way, the children, so carefully
guarded, are exposed to the dreaded
plague. The entire family, satisfied
with their fancied security, are
stunned when tuberculosis claims one
of their loved ones.
It may not strike the family circles.
The household servants may be ar
fected. Many of the deaths Of domes-
tics have their explanation. The mis-
tress, after a shopping tour, leaves
her mud-bordered skirt for the maid
to clean. In the cloud of dust arising
from the brush the fatal bacillus
turks. The girl, already weakened
from too long hours indoors, sue
cumbs. A few weeks later she is
forced to stop work and waste away
in hopeless dependence IN her over
burdened family or at public expense.
Another girl is easily obtained and
the careless mistress eve suspects
any connection between her foolish
fashion and the doomed domestic's
sad fate.
Expectation on the streets can
never be stopped. The streets cannot
be kept clean. But this can be done

Children of the sInms.

Their chances of existence are
small in the midst of the unsanitary
horrors of the slums; their chances
of a happy, healthy childhood and a
successful, honorable future are al
most nil. But they are coming into
the world by thousands; the people
who have the most excuse for race
suicide have ever the least inclination
toward it. In the slums the children
swarm; they die like flies or live
worse than beasts, shut up in Tester
ing hotbeds of misery, disease and
crime. And Gods great, generous
acres, where they might thrive and
grow well and sweet and beautiful and
strong, lie barren and deserted in the
sunshine-often held by land-grab-
bers, who gained them by fraud. To
bring them together-these landless
children and these childless lands
would be a work to immortalize any
millionaire alive.-Cleveland Leader.

IndlHerence to war,s Horrors.

1t would take a psychologist to ex-
plain why all the world shudders at
the blotting out of St. Pierre or the
drowning out of a Johnstown - and
gladly puts its hand in it's purse in
order to aid the survivors, while to-
day it. regards the far greater loss of
life in Manchuria with comparative
equanimity-the excuse for a few
banal remarks. Let natural forces but
triumph over and destroy a few thou
sand human beings and everybody
groans. But if your supposedly civil
lied nations set their hundreds of
thousands to smashing of skulls, blow
ing each other to pieces and wholesale
manning we merely speculate as to
whether the losses are proportionately
greater than in other battles, or
whether this is the largest slaughter
of men on record, and even bet on the
exact date when Hardin is likely to
fall. Why this distinction when it
comes to the taking of human life en-
masse.-New Y rk Evening Post.

Soldier Of varIous Nations.

OF all great nations the United
States of America have in their peace
time standing army the smallest num-
Der of soldiers in proportion to extent
of population, namely, one soldier to
every 1000 citizens. The opposite ex-
treme, curiously enough, is reached by
another republic-France-which has
n soldier for every seventy-two of
its population. Italy has one soldier
to every 100 subjects; Germany, one
to 107; Austro-Hungary. one to 1875,
and Great Britain, one soldier to every
225 subjects. Belgium, having a pop
ulation of not more than 1000, 900,
has n soldier to every 1870 inhabi-
tants. Russia has one soldier to
every 14O of its subjects; Japan, one
to $50.

Many women long for a child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tor and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of a good constitution. Is
not that an incentive tx for a
healthy maternity =?
. If expeetant mothers would fortifv
themselves with Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands Of
women in this condition, there would
be a great decrease in miscarriapes, in
suffering, and in disappointments at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink
ham demonstrate the power of Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases.
Mrs. L. c. Glover, Vice-P President of
Milwaukee Business Woman's Associa-
ton, of GA Grove Street, Milwaukee,
Wis, writes;
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
was married for several years and no
children blessed our home. The doctor said
l had a complication of female troubles and

The Amerlcan Heart.

We have heard much about the
American stomach anG the American
nerves, but we are just awakening to
a discovery that there is being rapidly
developed a form of heart disease
which, if not peculiar to America, may
at least be said to be more prevalent
in this country than in any other part
of the world. The heart-weakness re-
sulting from the use of tobacco and
alcohol and from a sedentary life on
the n hand, and extremely violent
eXertion on the other hand, is no long
er a rare condition, but has come to
be one of the most common affections
with which the physician has to deal.
A large proportion of the men reject
ed in the army examinations are re-
fused on account of heart weakness.
A large proportion of the public men
who die suddenly die as a result Of
the failure of the heart. The same
may be said also of many of the
cases in which the cause of death is
reported to be pneumonia, typhoid fe-
yer and other affections in which spe-
cial strain is brought to bear upon the
heart, and in which the failure of the
organ to meet the emergency is one of
the most common causes of death. The
cigar, the cigarette and the pipe are
probably the most common cause of
this growing frequency of cardiac af-
fections; but the neglect of physical
exercise, ~overeating, the use of cOndi-
ments and excuses of all sorts are
also to a large degree responsible for
the rapid incI e of this grave NAL

DEATH in TRAILING SKIRT
Danger That Turks in Present Day Obedience
to Fashions Whim

The following short story from the
Woman's Journal is very timely in the
warning given against trailing skirts
Only a little dust, almost impercep-
tible dust, caught OF the rug on the
floor of the handsome hall.
It was a Turkish rug, lying on the
perfectly waxed, hardwood floor, in a
tall where %neatness seemed to reign
along with all the appointments Of
wealth.
But there was that almost imper-
ceptible dust. How did it come there?
If you had ears that could hear its
voices it would tell you. 1t would
say that it had clutched a fold on the
beautiful lady's gown and come in
from the street.
1t was a beautiful gown as well as a
beautiful lady-a tailor-made gown,
and its fashionable bias flounce trailed
stylishly on the ground.
Everything was stylish about the
lady, from her fair face, with
rather deep circles below the eyes, to
her slender and handsome walking
shoes. She walked trailing her gown
properly, dust or no dust. Indeed, she
ignored the>dust of the street; but will
the dust ignore her?
Let us listen, If she will not, for
this almost imperceptible dust moves
and acts with fearful force, and if we
listen possibly we may understand its
language.
Soon after coming in on the beauti-
full lady's gown, other steps followed
and other gowns helped to move the
dust along farther into the house: but
it had a fancy for the beautiful lady.
Her f~railness attracted it and it fol-
lowed her to the bed chamber. Her
feet had never trod the loathsome
precincts whence it came, but it came
to her on her gown.
Soon there m to the chamber a
little child, a sweet, rosy cherub. In
its romping it stirred the lust about.
Then the dust began to be sepa-
rated, being formed of many particles
and these talked among themselves.
AS they talked they danced back and
forth, Waiting, swirling, capering,
with every motion of the child and its
mamma, the beautiful lady.
A scientist could have understood
them if he had caught some of them
under his microscope. He would have
called them germs With what
alarm he would have recognized the
diphtheritic, and with what dismay
would he have seen the t%uberculous
germ approaching the frail lady.
Back and forth, dancing, capering,
Waiting, the germs kept time while
baby, in its mothers arms, said, as
thousands of other little ones were
saying
Now 1 lay me down to sleep.
/ pray the Lord my soul to keep;
II l should die before l wake,
] pray the Lord my soul to take"
This baby was saying it for the last
time.
When night came again, thousands
of little voices sent up the baby pray
ers, but this one was gasping out it's
little life on mammals bosom-de-
stroyed by a germ.
A yellow card at the front door
warned all corners against diphtheria.
The beautiful lady vainly sought
health for a year or more, then found
rest beyond the sorrow and the part
ing"
Broken hearted" it was said.
Found death in the dust of the
street." said the microscope. A vic
tim of the long skirt.

ELBoURN APPOINTS CLERKS
Names Assistants for city Clerk, over
whom There Has Bccn So
Much Hot AIR.

Notwithstanding the charge by City
Clerk Elbourn that Mayor Moorcs was
disposed to appropriate to himself the
privilege OF appointing from six to twelve
clerks in the clerks office for the purpose
OF copying and revising tho registration
books in order to conform with the new
ward and precinct arrangements, the mayor
has signed the resolution putting the ap-
pointments in the hands OF the clerk The
pay Is fixed at 25 cents an hour for copyists
and 10 cents an hour for persons having the
checking" and supervision OF the work.
Elbourn feared the mayor would veto the
resolution. He said he had declined to put
on two men whom the mayor had suggested
and that things looked black Immediately
thereafter
The mayor sharply denies any attempt
to force men into the clerks office and
says he has never attempted to do so in
the departmental offices. He hesitated
some time about signing the resolution
because II sought to authorize the clerk 8
relatives, in his once IN July. this having
been done without the authority Of the
council. Inasmuch as the point involved
was similar to that threshed out in the
Gathers suit Mayor Moores thought II
would be well to go slow. He affixed his
signature on the advice of the city at
torney.
No estimate is placed on what II will
cost to revise the registration books
