s NATURES GREAT DISINFECTANT. )
) Let the Sunlight Roach Every Corner of the
House and Destroy the Germs


Natures great disinfectant is sun
light. 1t is most interesting fact
that this wonderful light, which pro-
notes the growth of useful plants and
sustalns animal life, at the same time
destroys by its very brightness all
sorts OF germs which are brought in
contact with it, 1t is this fact alone
winch renders the earth inhabitable
Germs develop with such marvellous
rapidly that they would quickly over
Whelm US by their very numbers II
not constantly destroyed by the sun.
A little computation will readily show
THIS. Some germs are capable of such
rapid multiplication that they may
double every fifteen minutes under
favorable conditions of temperature
and food supply. Estimate the num-
Der OF germs which might be pro.
duced IN single day of twenty four
hours, or zninety-six doublings The
number would be more than thirty
two thousand billion billions. or suf-
hclent to cover eighty thousand
square miles foot deep, or fill a
space of more than fifteen cubic
miles The increase of a minute or
ganlsm occupying a cubic space of
not more than one twenty-thousandth
OF an inch to such prodigious magni
tude is beyond comprehension, and
practically cannot occur; for while
the germ may grow at this immense
rapidly for short time, the poisons
which 1t produces become destructive
to itself. The material upon which it |
feeds is also exhausted, so that it's |
growth ceases.
Doubtless all have noticed the fact
that mold grows during the night and
In dark, damp cellars. Bright sun
light quickly destroys germs, mold,
and other parasitic organisms. Diff
fused daylight does not act nearly so
rapidly, but accomplishes in the
course of a few hours what bright
sunlight is capable of doing in a few
minutes. 1t is clearly evident, then,
that In order that our houses should
be kept free from germs they, like
our bodies, should be made full of life.
The shutters should be opened, the
raised, and the light admit
ted to every room in the house, clos
cts included, SO that the disinfecting
power of light may be exercised in
every nook and corner of the dwell
ng.

EVERY ONE ASKS HIM
HOW BE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. Jones Tells of the Way by Which He
Treated Himself Successfully
/ When Doctors Failed.

Six physicians, all of them good, one of
them a specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years, and still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been DOR
mant i'll his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice in February,
1901. From that time on for period
of more than three years he was a con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds of
treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge. When regular doctors failed
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: 81 should think he
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
In my right thigh, but i'll time it APP
peared Ill every muscle of my body.

tirely and nearly lost the use of my
right one. My feet We're badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves."
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that cure might
yet be found was friend who had rea.
SON for great confidence in DR.. Viii.
liams' Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought box of them in Sep
tember, 1904. The story of what fol-
lowed is brief, but nothing could be
more satisfactory.

Mr.. Jones, :" / could realize change for

medicine for my case. kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now

Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. DIR. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly ON the blood which is
the seat of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.

Overcoming Hereditary Tuberculosis.
Much is being said nowadays re-
specting the out-of-door treatment of
tuberculosis, disease which, while
rarely directly transmissible by hered-
ity, is one the predisposition to which
Is in the highest degree hereditary.
1t has been clearly shown by numer-
GUS experiments in various parts of
the United States that out-of-door life
with regular hygienic habits, ire

ic advantages, is capable of so aiding
the natural powers of the body as to

Occupation and Tuberculosis.

The influence of occupation as a
cause of consumption is shown by DR..
j. M. French in the Medical Exam
liner.
At least four classes of employ
ments ments have tendency to favor
the development of tuberculosis
They are:
l.. Sedentary employments in i'll
ventilated apartments, involving con-
dnement in impure air, and other I'M
wholesome conditions. This class of
occupations is typified by the So
called swet-shops for the manufacture
of various articles of clothing
2. Employments which necessitates
the inhalation of irritating dust and
noxious vapors. Such are those of
stone-cutters, bleachers, matchmak.
ers, file-cutters, grinders, engravers,
etc.
3. Employments which involve the
overuse or abuse of certain muscles
These are athletes, prize fighters,
gymnasts, wrestlers, professional BIZ
cycle riders, ball players, ETC., large
proportion of whom die eventually of
phthisis.
4. Employments which involve un-
due familiarity with intoxicants.
These are those connected with man
ufacture and sale of wine, beer and
the various classes of alcoholics.
Tatham's tables show that, taking the
average mortality from consumption
at one hundred, that of publicans is
one hundred and forty, Of brewers one
hundred and forty-eight and of bar
tenders two hundred and fifty-seven.

w. B. Haldeman Being En-

Senator.
A FLANK MOVEMENT.
Attempt to Keep the Louis
vile Delegation Out of
Paynter Column.

Louisville, Nov. 18 Much excite
ment, to say nothing Of the resulting
complications in Kentucky politics,
followed the announcement today
that Col. w. B. Haldeman, editor of
the Louisville Times, and one of the
owners Of the Courier-Jourhal, as
well as one of the chief factors in
politics in this state, has about made
up his mind to get into the race for
United States senator, which is now
being so bitterly waged between
Senator 10. C. S. Blackburn and APP
pellate Judge Thomas H. Paynter.
So much ill feeling has arisen in
the preliminary contest between
Blackburn and Paynter that many
of the party leaders and nominees to
the general assembly have come to
the conclusion that in the interest of
a harmonized Democracy in Ken
lucky third man should be put into
the race.
A conference was held in this city
several days ago between the ten
legislators from the Louisville dis
tricts, dozen nominees in the dis
tricts out in the state and the lead
inp political leaders, who decided
upon Col. Haldeman as the man of
the hour for this undertaking.
Another conference will be held
early in the week when Mr.. Halde-
man will be formally requested to
announce and it is said that he will
do so, starting out with enough votes
to prevent either Blackburn. or Payn-
ter from securing the nomination as
long as he is on the track.

BODY BLOW
TO Gambling Houses Deliver
ed by Supreme Court.

Washington, Nov. 20 Justice
Peckham, of the United States SUI
preme court, has handed down a
decision Of far-reaching Importance
to gamblers, and one which, if acted
upon. would put gambling houses
out Of business. In plain language.
the decision is this:
IF you have lost money in a gam
bling house, sue the owner Of the
building, or let your wife suefor
you, and you can get your losses
back. The owner will have to pay
the judgment"
The case which called forth the de-
cision comes from Ohio, and involved
the constitutionality Of the Ohio
statute to prevent gambling. The
judge decided that not only is that
law constitutional, but that IN every
state where there is a gaming law
the owner of the building wherein
there is gaming is responsible for all
losses growing oft of it. The deci-
sion put responsibility for such losses
on the shoulders of the own
er of the building.
