SHAKING CLOTHES
OUT Of WINDOWS
Danger of tuberculosis, and
Other Diseases in Dust
GERMS.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
No truer words were ever written thar
in your short editorial in The Times OF
yesterday evenings -editiCn on Home
Sanitation" In which you stated that
mot least OF the causes of typhoid,
tuberculosis, malaria, etc" was due TO
carelessness in the home.
There is no doubt whatever that a
great many cases OF diseases are con-
tracted through carelessness in the
home However If we could determine
the number of infectious and contagious
diseases that have been spread through
out the city OF Washington through the
habit Of the people shaking their ocd
linen. table linen, rugs. carpets, and
skirts out Of their windows. then such
an uprising would take place that the
health and police laws IN regard to the
above would be enforced by the police
and health officers without waiting for
private parties TO make complaint.
The writer lives in an apartment
house. which has a tenant in the fat

patton keeps her away from home the
largest part Of the day. This tenant
arises early and arranges her house
previous to departure for her place of
work. She first begins 10 shake :he
bed clothes out of the window, then ia
turn comes the table linen, rugs, skirts,
etc, and after everything Is IN apple
pie order she probably surveys every
thing with an exclamation OF setiSfaC-
tiOn and departs for her labors.
This tenant fully knows that the win
dOws in the fiat we occupy are immedi-
atelv beneath the fiat she occupies.
However. little does she care whether
or not our windows are raised which
they frequently are for ventilation. and
little heed does she pay to the noise
made by the sudden closing of the win
dows In our fiat. which we are compelled

not believe any Federal action in ths
matter will lie.
The President wants to discuss with
Governor Deneen the general question
of conflict between State and Federal
regulations. There is pending in the IL
nnoiS legislature a 2-cent-fare bill,
which Deneen has opposed, urging tnat
instead of passing such legislation with
out investigation the legislature ought
TO give the state railroad commission
power 10 take such action after invcsti-
cation. The legislature, however. has
Deen pressing it's 2-cent bill. and the
impression is that the President may
make statement. backing up the posi-
uon of the governor. which he thinks
correct.
The President also wants TO talk about
the relations OF the State of Illinois to
the Illinois Central, which are unique
IN that the State receives from this
road per cent of all gross earnings
IN lieu OF taxes. and has special powers
over the corporation. including the
maintenance Of the governor as an ex-
ohicio director in the road. The Presi-
dent has an idea that this may become
a model for development of a system Of
closer state and Federal relations TO
railroads.
Governor Deneen expressed frankly
the opirlon that the time Is at hand
when the line between State and Federal
control must be more clearly drawn.

SUMMER RHEUMATISM
Painful FERN of the Disease that
Comes in Hot Weather.

Many people are especially suscspti-
BILE to rheumatism in the summer, due
to eating acid fruits, to sitting in a
draught when perspiring, or to other
causes. These sufferers will be inter-
ested in knowing of a remedy for
rheumatism called Neuralgia Anodyne,
which Is so uniformly successful that
1t Is sold by dealers everywhere, with
the understanding that the money will
be refunded, If it does not do all that
is claimed for 1t.
Neuralgia Anodyne is used inter-
nally and externally. thus reaching the
nerve centres, and at the same time
absorbed through the pores Of the
skin, eases the aching muscles and
throbbing nerves.
All rheumatism sufferers should try
Neuralgia Anodyne. and see the quick
relief they get. A large bottle costs
but rs cts. Made by The Twitcholl-
