Portable School Rooms.

Editor The Washington Herald:
The announcement that il may be pos
sible to erect a portable schoolhouse at
PetwOrth to care for the surplus pupils
until the addition to the building can be
completed has aroused interest in the
portable" schOolhouse. This idea was
referred 10 as a Western idea. Ii has
been used in several cities. both East
and West. Some years ago, when the
school AT Brightwood was beginning 20
be crowded, and there seemed TO be no
prospect of immediate relief, I took occa-
sion 10 find out some things about that
means Of school accommodation. / wrote
10 the school authorities Of Boston, ask
ing where such "A building could be seen,
and when l visited that city 1 saw one
Of the 'pOrtables' in operation.
The object OF the portable is TO provide
a temporary room for an overcrOwded
school while permanent building is be-
ing prepared. When at the opening of
a school 1t is found that more room Will
be needed, a portable room is erected in
the school yard and within a week or
two a new room is ready 10 take care of
the surplus pupils. Boston has one hun
all in constant use. The floors. sides. and
roof are made I'm sections. or panels,
which can be easily handled. and when
put together make as comfortable a room
as any within the large buildings. When
] visited such a school the day was cold
and drizZly. but the fire inside made the
room as cosy and comfortable as could
be desired. / Was told that these single
rooms cost about 81. 900 10 build, and that
the moving OF them from one school TO
another cost between SlO0 and 500
St Louis was, perhaps, the first city 20
make n successful experiment Of this
means Of providing temporary quarters
II Washington possessed a few buildings
like these. the surplus OF a crowded build
ing could be Immediately taken care of,
and il would not be necessary 10 wait
two years or more for the Slow-moving
machinery of our present school system
via Congress. Experience has proven. in
the cides where this plan of portable
rooms has been tried. that il is better
than renting quarters. and it places
within a few days the necessary room
just where II is needed in the. school yard
and under the direct supervision OF the

Digestion and Longevity.

Editor The Washington Herald:
We're you ever lost. and did you feel
the sense Of relief that comes over one
when, on meeting an acquaintance. who
tells you that your home is in the next
block. on such and such a street. or
over this mountain, or just beyond that
piece OF woodland? 1 imagine that such
was the feeling of Mr.. Mckinley. when,
meeting a lady who was l8 years old,
for he Immediately asked her for direc-
tions that would enable him TO reach
such a great age. She frankly replied:
Serving the Lord and mnding my own
/ business. Mr.. President"
Learning that there was poor coIored
woman living in a certain alley in this
city who was also lO3 years old. called
on her and asked her 10 tell me how she
managed 10 keep in good health TO so
great an age. Imagine my surprise when
she replied that il was not any of my
id business.
Neither Of these persons gave the cor
rect directions. The road that leads 10
good health and a great age Is a plain
one, easy, not only for the good and
! learned TO travel, but many wicked and
! ignorant persons have successfully trav-
eled this sanitary route beyond 100 years.
Quite recently Dr. William Starr. OF our
city. celebrated the Tooth anniversary OF
his birthday. and while he lays much

and have served the Lord well. and yet
they have been great sufferers, and died
long before they reached fifty years Of
age. Drunkards aud wicked people some
[ times live 10 reach lo0 years Of age, but
only when they obey the sanitary laws.
Knowing that il Is not meat and drink
alone. but the character OF digestion that
strengthens vitality. l called on Dr. Starr
( To- learn from him what effect his food
had on his health. ana found that he
never had any indigestion.
some years ago a resident Of this city
received q wound in the mouth which
severed one Of the s3liyary glands. and
in healing ii was left open. SO that the
saliva is triCkling down his esOphagus
into Ms stomach. day and night, which
enables him 70 digest his food better
than h. used 10. This man. who was a

Good health and long life depend upon
adequate nutrition and sufficient eXcre-
tiOus rather than on the good or bad
habits OF the individual: upon a high
sanitary condition, rather than a high
moral character. AHNTER P. KEY.

Cooking Cabbage Without OdOr.

Editor The Washington Herald:
In your issue to-day you defend the
landlords who interdlct cabbage cooking
in the apartment houses. You are no
cook, evidently.
Your remarks induced me to write you
what l learned during a rural tour IN
England a few years ago. and which
my own subsequent culinary experiments
confirmed in all particulars.
observed there that cabbage. in some
form, was invariably served at dinner.
and, no matter how small the inn or
how near the kitchen, there was no odor
from the cabbage pot. With a Yankees
curiosity, l sought an explanation from
the cook. with the result that l took
down in writing the following. which Is
absolutely reliable: "AI cabbage. sprouts.
caulifower. OF kale viii give out a dis
agreeable odor If slowly cooked or set
over fire in cold water. and all odor
is given off at the expense of-navor. The
cabbage should be cut and scalded In q
colander and dropped iu boiling water
while hot, and kept on a gallOp with
cover on the pot for twenty minutes
Add salt and a pinch of soda to the
water IN the beginning. Throw the cab
bage into a colander. drain, return TO the
pot, set on the back Of the stove to dry
off bit; pour over the cream and flour
and butter, or serve the sauce separately
in a tureen."
Cabbage cooked in this way win have

Is delicate in color and flavor.

Shows No Equine Tendencies.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Appearances plainly indicate that your
correspondent, Mr.. Harry B. Bradford. is
judging the medical profession entirely
Dy the exponents Of galenical and botani-
cal medicine. who still cling to the teach
ings Of half a century ago. Mr. Brad
ford's conception Of the action of drugs
in the cure of disease is strikingly rudi-
mentary. and he should hesitate long
time before attempting 10 discuss a sub
ject upon which his knowledge is in

maximum dose of this so-called diseased

health, and know positively that 1 have
not, as result, contracted tuberculosis,
leprosy, glanders, spawn. or any other
evil do not nicker when 1 smell oats,
neither have l any marked aversion 10
flies.
Medicine is not an exact science. and
It Is manifestly unfair to judge the entire
profession by the practices OF a few who
push drug medication to the extreme
and TO the exclusion Of everything else.
At the same time I would not advise
any man TO deny the value OF drugs in
the treatment Of disease. The value Of a
drug depends upon its physiological ac-
ton. To deny the physiological action of
drugs Is to display ignorance. It follows.
therefore. that as the physiological action
of drugs can be proved beyond question.
they are of value in the treatment of
disease when used to advantage.
