Fruits rs Germ Killers.

3 Among some Science Notes" re-
published by the Indian Mirror we
CLEAN the following relating TO the
virtues OF fruit This is supple
mental to the well known effect OF
the Juice OF acid fruits. such as
lines. apples. pineapples. etc. in mi-
tigating the craving for alcoholic
drinks. II Is said that an eminent
Japanese bacteriologlst has recently
shown. with success. that the acids
OF demons. apples and some other
fruits are capable OF destroying all
kinds and varieties OF the germs
which cause disease and pain In the
human body. The acids. citric and
malic. contained In the fruit juices
probably have the effect OF killing
these disease germs. Cholera germs
are said TO be killed In fifteen min
utes by lemon juice. and even ty-
phoid germs. which have great re-
sistlng power. are killed in about so
minutes by either of these acids.
even In a very diluted form. A tum-
bier full OF cold water saturated
with cholera bacini might be gulped
dow ones throat with impunity pro-
yided a lemon has been squeezed In
90 Il rs or 20 minutes prior to the
act. The safety here lies In the alb
solute certainty Of the destruction
OF the baocilli by the action OF the
lemon Juice. What IL delicious
drink 20 the human being Is here
evidently a poison 10 these micro
organisms. Thus the two most
dreaded disease in Indla--that Is.
Asiatic cholera and typhoid fever
have a simple remedy TO checkmate
their ravages. These prevalent and
universal disease have now this uni
versal remedy. Lines are within the
OF the poorest people In India, and
they could be secured for a very
small price. even In the districts OF
great scarcity. Even the very poor
people. by having plentiful supply
of lemons and oranges. In the times
of epidemics. could tide over the In
lection with great credit.

hht DuttuiHb Of new HaftW0yS.
A few years ago It was said, and
believed, that the United States had
about enough railway mileage: that
in some sections there was too much.
Hereafter, IT was said. there would
be little railroad building-the fill
ing Of gaps, running out of feeder
branches and the like. The days of
great railroad building were over.
How shortsighted these predic-
tions were appears from current
railway history. With all allowances
for fantastic projects and for those
of promoters whose real aim is not
to build railways. but to get the
public's money for pieces of paper OF
to get bought of. ]. d. Latimer
shows that there are building or are
seriously planned on this continent
22 900 miles OF railway, calling for
the expenditure of about s1,500,-
600, 900.
Much OF this expenditure will be
in the east and not so much on new
line as on Improvement of old ones.
The tunnels and terminals which the
Pennsylvania and the other great
trunk lines are making under and
in New York City will call for near
,ly 5000, 100000. Other improve
ments in the east will double the
outlay. These are projects based on
sober business calculation of certain
returns. For the romance and ad-
venture of the railway today we
must turn TO the southwest and the
northwest.
. Sometimes the new railway comes
from the discovery that natural con-
dItlons are not as traditionally sup
posed to be. The line now pushing
along the Texas coast from Galveston
TO the Rio Grande is the result of
such a discovery. For more than
800 years the southeastern triangle
OF Texas has been set down as a
desert. A railway manager seeking
territory out OF which to make a
railway shoestrlng running down
from Colorado way exploded the
tradition. All the country needed
20 be another southern California
was water. His prospectors found
under II the biggest artesian we'll
reservoir in the country. Since then
the name of b. F. Yoakum has been
one OF conjure with in Texas.
The notion that railway competi-
tion had ceased under the domina-
tion OF the community OF interest"
idea finds no justification in the Pa
cihc northwest. E. II. Hartman

goes down town would take the
trouble to go once by way of the
alleys, we suspect that there would
be a revolution. The existing con-
ditions are so far as garbage Is con-
kcerned, scandalous.
Detroiters are tough. Otherwise
they would become infected from
the flies that swarm around the open
garbage receptacles and the heaps
Of rotting refuse dumped in the
alleys. These same flies call at our
back doors and sometimes get into
the kitchen.
II Is almost inconceivable that
men can be found TO collect garbage
at any wages under such wretched
and filthy conditions as are imposed
upon the garbage collectors by the
good citizens OF Detroit.
The only excuse we have heard for
Detroit citizens not complying with
the law and placing their garbage in
covered metal receptacles is that
there are a lot of thieves in the city
who will carry of good garbage cans
about as fast as they can be put
out.
Now I am terrified at the earth,
IL is that calm and patient,
ut grows such sweet things out OF
such corruptions,
at distils such exquisite winds out
OF such infused fetor.
1T renews with such unwilling looks
it's prodigal, annual, sumptuous
crops,
"It gives such divine materials 10
men and accepts such leavings
from them at last"

said the people had said to him: we

some people who can see no good in
Tillman or Tillmanism are still lying

praying for some chance to get even
with him. Senator Tillman said he
had it on good authority that when
candidate for the position of director
on the state dispensary board ap-
preached members of the legislature to
vote for him the chief qualification re-
quired by some members of the legis-
!ature was whether or not the candl-

dispensary into disrepute. Spartan
