This is a book with an earnest pur-

principles from which will result an
equal opportunity for every human be-

tic, and to prove that crime is only an
act or its omission which prevents

of entail and of primogeniture, as well
as of descent of title, and the author

work by totally abolishing the laws OF

TIE Cause of Honest Government.


Mayor Weaver. of Philadelphia, has
issued this statement to the people of
that city:
The time has come for every citi-
zen of Philadelphia 10 consecrate him
self anew TO the cause of honest gov
eminent What We need now is men
who will be loyal TO principle. If the
people of our city would enjoy the
fruits of recent triumphs, they must be
alert TO see and courageous to stamp
out at once every evil that threatens
the social and political life of our mu-
nicipal city"
In calling upon the people, Mayor
Weaver has appealed TO the real pow
er in government. yet the appeal may
be to no avail, as the people in many
cities are inclined to endure coTrup-
ton. and to accept il as unavoidable.
perhaps necessary. To think that cor
ruption is unavoidable is both deplora-

sary. is 10 encourage crime. The peo-
ole endure and excuse too much that

so accustomed to corruption that they
naturally expect it.
''It is said of the rats that congre-
gate in the sewers of great city that
they become so accustomed TO the
vitiated air that they die if they are
driven out to the fields where the air
is pure.
THE people of Philadelphia are not
quite in the condition of sewer rats,
but they have become so accustomed
to the vitiated air that they breathe
it without difficulty.
when the leaders of a great party
are not afraid to openly champion an
immense steal, as they did in the case
of the proposed gas lease, there is
something certainly radically wrong
with the people themselves. because
they are the ones that make these lead
ers possible. Leaders would not dare
to take such a stand if they believed
that it would be fraught with danger
These facts point the people to their
duty. They should impress upon the
individual his duty as a citizen. and
as part of the government, to do his
duty in encouraging honesty in govern
ment. and in ferreting out and punish
ing dishonesty in government. Mis-
rule, ruin and destruction are the re-
suits of neglect by the people of their
duty in government
1t is a safe presumption that such a
proposition as the Twenty-fourth
street storm drain would not receive
much consideration at the hands of
Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia.

Inherited coneumption.

Some people think that because
their parents died with consumption,
they are doomed by the same plague
This Is not so. Cases of inherited
consumption are very rare. The real
reason why so many in family suf-
fer from tuberculosis is to be found
elsewhere than in heredity.
The afflicted member does not know
the necessity for personal cleanliness,
for religiously collecting and burning

ordinary pocket handkerchief and the
washing of II in the family laundry
Is a constant source Of danger. Rice
paper handkerchiefs or old linen
should be used and then burned.
The person himself Is almost harm.
less. 1t is only the lack of care in
scattering the genus that makes him
a dangerous companion. These bad
practices are usually due to ignorance.
1t is not necessary to isolate the pa
tient for the protection of the family.
Each person not affected should
breathe fresh air, exercise out Of
doors. eat simple food, battle daily
and sleep eight hours each night.
This will increase the body's vital
power and resist the deadly genus
which may be breathed in. The rest
OF the family being thus fortified, the
patient should cooperate in the pro-
lection.
Let him study to prevent the germs

Niaht Air and Consumption.

The old fallacy that night air is
dangerous miasm it not yet dead.
Much has been said about fresh air,
outdoor life and sunshine for tubercu-
losis. Many victims have experienced
the healing power in these natural
agencies. But too often the consump-
tive. after a day in the sunshine or
in the cold, crisp winter air, retires
for a nights sleep in dark, stuffy,
alright room. Don't be afraid of
night air.
Open the bedroom to all the sun
possible during the day. The room
will then be dry, though cold. Damp
ness is dangerous and more apt to oc-
cur in a closed than in wide-open
room. Keep at least one window in
the bedroom open day and night, sum
mer and winter. The door should shut
the chamber off from the rest of the
house. In the morning the patient
should he taken quickly into warm
room for the cold sponge bath.

lnsicious Poisons.

The poisonous effects resulting
from the use Of tea and coffee are
very decidedly manifest 10 one who
has given thought to this question,
and has made careful observations in
relation to 1t. The sallow complexion,
common among women of the higher
classes who have reached middle life,
the almost universal nervousness
among American women, and many
common digestive disorders, and the
increasing prevalence of nervous or
sick headaches, afford to the expert
enced physician ample evidence of the
toxic or poisonous character of tea,
coffee, and the allied beverages, cocoa
and chocolate. The well-known eff
feet of these drugs in producing wake
fulness, banishing as If by magic the
sensation of fatigue, affords sufficient
evidence of their poisonous character.
No one would doubt for a moment the
poisonous character of drug capa-

Daily Exercise.

Clerks. buokkecpers and thousands
Of other indoor workers suffer from
the lack OF pure air and muscular eX-
ercise. II an attempt is made to be-
gin systematic exercise, or an hour or
so is spent in digging or chopping
wood. undue soreness and fatigue are
produced. This disagreeable result
often stops the experiment Instead
of discouragiug the trial, the very
soreness should point out the great
need of the body.
If the work were persisted in and
gradually increased the stiifues would
soon disappear, and leave in its place
q general feeling of increased vigor.
The nerves are strengthened and the
bodily activities quickened. The eff
fect>is not alone on the muscles used,
tut upon each organ The blood is
purified and the digestion strength
cped.
The effects of a prolonged sedentary
life are overcome only by working off
the accumulated poisons and creating
an appetite for new pure food. This is
built up in the body, and thus the
whole man Is renewed
Exercise must be carefully increased
and adapted to the individual muscu.
lar strength. The weakest muscles
must be brought up to the standard
OF the others.
For feeble persons who are not
able to do the desired work, massage,
Swedish movements and mechanical
exercises should be employed.
For more robust persons, walking,
horseback riding, rowing bicycle rid
ing and especially swimming are to be
recommended.
