Is Disease a Crime?

Not very long ago, a popular magazine published
editorial article in which the writer asserted
H. substance. that all disease should be regarded
as criminal. Certain it is. that much of the sick
ness and suffering q mankind is due to the vio-
lation of certain of Natures laws. But to say
that all sickness should be regarded as criminal
must appeal TO every reasonable individual as
radically wrong.
II would be harsh. unsympathetic, cruel yes
criminal, to condemn the poor. weak over-worked
housewife who sinks under the heavy load of
household and burdens. and suffers from
weaknesses, various dispacements Of pelvic organs
and other arrangements peculiar to her sex
Frequent bearing OF children, with its exacting
derrnds upon the system, coupled with the care,
worry and labor OF rearing large family, is often
the Of weaknesses, arrangements and de-
b.hty which are aggravated by the many house
hold cares. and the hard. and never-endlng work
which the mother is called upon to perform Dr..
Pierce. the maker of that wOrld-famed remedy
for woman's peculiar weaknesses and lIs-Dr
Pierces Favorite Prescripton-says that one Of the
greatest obstacles TO the cure Of this class Of
malades Is the fact that the poor over-vorked

by reason Of the patients inability TO abstain from

dillon TO taking his "Favorite Prescription they
abstain from being very much or for long periods

The thirty-third annual convention of the
farmers of Montgomery county has been
held at Sandy Spring. The attendance was
large, including 200 tillers of the soil from
various sections of this county and quite
a number from Howard county and other
places. Mr.. John Thomas, president, pre-
sliced, and Messrs. John f. Muncaster and
Alfred c. Tolsen served as secretaries.
The principal subject discussed was the
Shoemaker road law. Mr.. Samuel f. Shoe
maker, whose name the law bears, was
present and addressed the gathering. He
reviewed the history of the legislation, ad-
mitted the measure might not be perfec-
ton. but pleaded for fair trial of 1t. High
way Engineer Crosby commended the law
and invited suggestions for its betterment
Mr.. Charles +. Kirk took the view that the
law is unpopular and entirely too expensive
AMI thought it should be amended so as to
give to the county commissioners the con-
troll of construction and the amount per
mile 10 be expended.
Mr.. Beverly r. Codwise of Washington
Grove. contractor, contributed paper
on the subject. While generally commend
ing the Shoemaker law. he thought 1t should
be amended, and offered, ameng Others the
following recommendations:
Il would suggest that the law be amend
ed by substituting the chief engineer of the
highway division of the state geological sur
vey for the commission created by the act
of the general assembly of 1S9G, chapter 81
so far as applicable u the Shoemaker law.
would advise that In addition to a chief en-
gineer OF highway division, who should be
appointed by the governor, a county engi-
neer, who should be appointed by the coun-
ty commissioners 1t should be the duty of
these engineers to Jointly certify 10 the
controller of the state the completion of
all work under the state aid law; that it
should be the duty of the county engineer
to make the necessary surveys and prepare
such plans and specifications as might be
best adapted to such roads as the commits
sioners might elect to build and In deter
mining the per cent of grade to be estab-
lished upon any particular road the county
engineer should be governed by the gem
eral topography OF the district In which
such road Is built and by the wishes of
those who use the road is expressed by the
county commissioner. the commissioners to
be limited in the amount expended by the
provisions OF the law. The plans, speclfica-
lions and estimates should be approved by
the chief engineer before being offered TO
contract.

IN line with one offered two years ago by
the Montgomery county delegation, which
failed of passage in the senate. The pro-

the county at least five thousand dollars in
the collection of taxes.

GAS PROST RAT ES
THREE F|REM
Members of Alameda
Department Have a
Very Narrow Escape

ALAMEDA, July 13.-Gas that es-
capped from a water heater in the
Chestnut street engine-house nearly
asphyxiated three firemen and two
horses early this morning. Joseph H
Matt. foreman of Hose Company No. 4.
]. @. Matthies, engineer, and Bruno
Steinmetz. driver, were asleep on the
second floor of the fire house and all
three were affected by the fumes of
the carbon monoxide, but were aroused
in time to escape fatal results.
Matt. the first to be affected by the
gas, was awakened by stomach sick
ness caused by inhaling the poisonous
fumes. He managed to get out of his
cot, but was so weak and dizzy that
he fell to the floor. His fall broke the
slumbers of Steinmesz and Matthies,
who arose to find that they, too, were
dizzy and unsteady on their feet Stein
metz had enough presence of mind to
open the windows OF the sleeping
apartments. and he and Matthies work
ed for quarter of an hour in revfving
Matt. who was in a semi conscious con-
dition.
An examination of the lower floor Of
the engine-house showed that the
horses had also been affected by the
gas and were stupid from the fumes
they had inhaled.
A jet in the gas heater connected
with the furnace of the fire engine was
found extinguished and exuding the
carbon monoxide that almost ended the
lives of the firemen and horses.
