PAID FOR WHISKY
WITH CONFEDERATE BILL

CHICAGO, March 1o.-'I thought that
the United States had guaranteed the
payment of all Confederate bills, was
the novel explanation given by Isnatz
Gatrich. of 474S Hermitage avenue, when
he was arraigned before Justice Fitz-
gerald at the Stock Yards police court
on the charge OF paying for three small
glasses Of whisky with a Confederate
bill.
Ignatz Kemrich, Of 1856 Elizabeth
street, was the saloonkeeper who was
quite sure that Confederate money
would not pay the diStiller.
Justice Fitzgerald held Gatrich TO the
criminal court in bonds of $500.

PURE AIR NEEDED
FOR GOOD HEALTH
Strong Plea Made For Pub
lie Fairgrounds.
G UARD AGAINST DISEASE
Malignant Maladies Prevented by Civ
ing Children Exercise in These
0pen-Air Reservations.
GUARD AGAINST DISEASE

Besides the moral and physical benefit
which Fairgrounds give to the children
of a community, those who have given
the subject careful study contend that
they are a necessity for the health of
the coming generation. and that they are
q great factor in preventing the spread
Of disease.
Speaking of the part these reserva-
tions play in the health of a great
city, Dr. Henry S. Curtis, supervisor of
Fairgrounds, said to d Times reporter
last evening:
Those who have not followed the
Fairgrounds movement closely will
probably be surprised TO learn that one
OF its chief sources was the congress
of hygiene and tuberculosis, which has
been held in Germany during the past
fifteen or eighteen years.
Only Way to Health.
These congresses have emphasized
that the only way TO health is a Wig
orous life IN the open air, and the dele
gates have gone home to their local
cities and established Fairgrounds as
the practical outcome. Every mother
realizes this principle. She knows that
she must keep her sickly child in the
open air as much as possible. She
takes him TO the country, If possible, in
summer and keeps him out of doors all
day long.
The death rate and health of any
community depends on a negative an6
positive factor. The negative factor Is
the hygienic or The presence OF disease
or insaritcry conditions. The positive
factor is the vigor of the individual OF
resistance which ne offers to the disease
germ.
''Of two men exposed 10 the same dis
ease, one succombs and the other throws
Il on without even an indisposition. The
weak and the aged are prostrated by
conditions that the vigorous scarcely
feel. II is hard to say which of these
factors is more important, but it is easy
10 see which is the cheaper and more
Joy giving. A reclamation of marsh
or the destruction of ins&nitary dwell
ings viii cost millions, while play
grounds will cost hundreds of thou
sands.
Problem Is Two-F0ld.
For every man likewise the problem
of health is two-fold. It consists Of the
avoidance of disease on the one hand
and having a fund of vitality to throw
It off on the other, The main source OF
this vigor lies in a str Tong heart and
lungs ard a good digestion, and this
action is mainly dependent on life il
The open air.
I'VE have learned that there is nc
specific for consumption. instead, We
make the infected bask in the sunshine
and live and sleep out of doors. Every
one knows that the health of children is
largely dependent on the open-air life
but we have not realized, as the Ger
mans did. that this means Fairgrounds
and making the outdoor life attractive" "

II makes the waist appear much more

Some OF the skirts Intended to he
