Sleeping In the Open Air.

Woman sufferers from tuberculosis are
Is able 10 stand the rigors Of the open-air
method of treatment in winter weather as
men, according to Gen. George NJ. Stern
oerg, who is interested in the treatment OF
those consumptlve patients at the Washing
ton Grove (Md.) sanatorium.
Gen. 3ternberg's observations have con-
WINGED him that the theory held BY many
that the weaker lungs OF the woman con-
sumptlve are more sensitive to the elements
than those of the man patient is not well
founded.
He bases this belief, he says, on the pre-
sent condition of the eleven woman patients
at the Washington Grove sanatorium, all OF
whom are thriving in the open air rather
than suffering because OF the frigid weather
of the past week None oil the men and
women occupying cots in tents on the high
ground about the sanatorium, he adds, shows
any disposition to seek the cover and
warmth of the hospital building these cold
nights, even with the thermometer sinking
far below the freezing point. 10 fact, he
says, both men and women have shown re-
Gently the beneficial effects Of the heroic
treatment to q marked degree, and their
faith 10 the cold air Is as strongly intrenched
as that of the physicians in attendance.
"During the recent short spell of open
winter" said Gen. Sternberg, "all OF the
twenty-five open air patients took on weight,
each from two to five pounds. We observe,
too, when the severe cold snap followed
quickly on the heels Of the warm weather
that none of the patients experienced any
i'll effects. In fact, their progress toward
recovery sustained fully the belief that the
open air treatment will bring wonderful re-
suits. While the patients during the cold
weather have not increased this gain OF
weight perceptibly, yet they are more than
holding their own"

Executive Committee Meeting.

The Executive Committee Of the Anti
Saloon League, Of this county, was held
here on Tuesday last, President Alfred Will
son presiding.
Mr.. Frank Higgins was elected attorney
TO the League for 1907, and Mr.. j. Q. Nun.
caster, secretary.
Search warrant of the local option law
was discussed, and members present did not
seem to be satisfied that the officers had done
their duty. Motion was made that Asa NJ.
Stabler and Geo. r. Beall, as committee ap.
pointed BY President Wilson, invite States
Attorney Robt. B. Peter to be present and
state why the law was not enforced. Also
what could the League do to assist him or
the officers In their respective positions.
After Mr.. Peter made 1t very clear ss to
the responsibility Of swearing out search
warrants, it was decided that 1t would be
best to ask the County Commissioners for
$500 and place this sum at the disposal of
the States Attorney, who could then act
Independently Of the sheriff and other Off.
cials who have not done their duty toward
him in helping to close up the four perGis-
tent violators Of the local option law.
Motion made and carried that the secrsta-
ry prepare letter for each vice president
to get tax, payers in his district to sign, ask
ing the County Commissioners for $500.
Motion made and carried that the presl.
dent, secretary and attorney name and select
members for the standing committees and
report same at next meeting.
Motion was made and carried that the
annual meeting be held in August instead
of January, and that this action be endorsed
at the next quarterly meeting.
Motion made that John B. Boyer be elect
ed a member of the executive committee to
represent the Good Templars in the county.
Motion made and carried that the next
quarterly meeting be held on the Gath Of
April at Laytonsville. Rev. ]. E. James,
E. W. Walker and T. J. Owen appointed

The Trees and the Rivers.

Mr.. Editor "A noted scientist prof. -
recently made public statement In which
he declared that he had found that the
earth's water supply was being rapidly ex'
hausted and that the inevitable result would
be the destruction of the animal and vege'
table kingdoms of the earth, If not of the
earth itself.
Now, do not wish to cross swords with
the learned professor, for the subject Is far
too deep for the writer, and don't think
the learned Individual would make false
statement on the subject, as he, In spite OF
his learning, would be included In the gen.
eral destruction, but l do say that there Is
no appearance Of such calamity at Comus
just now.
1t ls the opinion of great many persons
that the destruction Of the forests will result
In the drying up Of the rivers. speak from
experience and observation when say that
do not believe anything Of the kind. The
stream that ran through my fathers farm
and turned his mill is more regular in its
supply of water now than it was In my
childhood, when it ran through thick,
heavy forest from its source to Its passage
into the Potomac.
Twice In my early life the stream was
literally dried up. There was no water for
the fish, and there was only one pond
from which the stock could get water. The
race was favorite playground of mine, and
the muck In its bottom was as dry and solid
as Spanish brick (adobe). There was but
one mill In which we of the Third District
could have grinding done, and that was q
long way of (Greenfeld). An uncle owned
"Little Giant" corn and.cob crusher, and
my father, who owned fine, large mill for
those primitive milling days, sent two bush.
els of corn to my uncle's to be manufactur.
ed into meal by the Little Giant The
"meal" was about the fineness Of hominy,
and our old colored cook, who was an ex-
pert on Dutch oven loaf and hoe cake, but
am afraid she was not an expert on any
thing else In the cooking line (peace to her
ashes), declared that she couldn't make
dat meal stick togudder no how" There
was as little change in our meal barrel as
that Of the Zarephath woman, for there was
no demand for its contents, and l suppose
our condition would have been sad as hers
II we had not raised fine crop of potatoes
on piece Of low ground.
Il seems reasonable to conclude that the
roots Of the trees would imbibe more water
than the lowly grass, and it is still more
reasonable TO conclude that plowed ground
would absorb and retain more of the falling
rain than the roots Of the forest trees, whose
roots keep the ground 30 dry that nothing
will grow under them. Springs that were
once surrounded by forest trees are just as
fresh now as they were before the timber
was removed from them, and, judging from
my observation, they will remain as fresh
until season such as have described falls
upon them.
There seems to be disposition among
our farmers to destroy the forests. For my
part, l do not want to live In a country
where there are no forest trees, and every
farm is more beautiful and more valuable
with wood, lot on 1t than one bare of tim

Roosevelt "Zeborse."

The Roosevelt "zeborse" is said to be the
name OF new species of animal of the
horse kind the United States government Is
endeavoring to produce at the experiment
station Of the bureau of animal industry OF
the Department of Agriculture. The station
where the interesting experiment is being
made Is situated 10 most picturesque spot
near Bethesda, Montgomery county, a short
ride from Washington. The principals to
the experiment are the large male Abyssn.
ian vebra which was presented to President
Roosevelt by King Menelik of that country 1;
secondly, several flne mare donkies and
horses, and thirdly group OF scientists
who are connected with the bureau OF ami
NAL industry.
1t Is sought to produce in the "zebhorse"
an animal Of strenuosity, strength, speed
and endurance. The zebra, which had been
quartered at the Zoo since Its arrival here
from far-away Abyssinia, was removed to
the Bethesda station and turned loose In an
breeding mares.
The wild animal did not at first make
friends with the horses, 1t Is said, bat show
ed marked preference for several female
donkies that were In IN adjoining Enclosure.
The zebra was thereupon placed 10 company
with the donkies, and TO day, 1t was ex.
planned, he had struck up quite friendship
with them.
The officials In charge of the stati on have
hopes that an animal Of the kind described
will be ultimately produced. 1t Is said that
several years ago similar experiment In
Europe, in which q gazelle zebra of the
Burchell variety was used, was successful,
and sort Of hybrid animal, known as the
zebrula, was the outcome, but that its birth
and attempted rearing were not under such
favorable conditions as exist at Bethesda.
1t Ia said that President Roosevelt Is very
much interested 10 the test that Is being
made, and that 1t Is proposed TO give the
new member OF the horse family, should the
experiment prove successful, the name of
the Roosevelt zeborse.
An attache OF one OF the scientific bureaus
OF the government explained to Star re-
porter this afternoon that the Presidents
zebra, now at the experiment station, is
known as Grevy's zebra. II Is much larger
than the other variety known as Burchell's
zebra, and possesses the hardihood found in
animals from the mountains. He also said
that the animals that had been produced by
the smaller zebrss and mares or female dom
kies, had been given the name Of zebrulas
He approved the plan of calling the animal
1t is sought 10 produce the Roosevelt zeb-
orse.-- Waah Star Of last 7hursday.

Fires In the County.

A tenant house on the farm Of Mr.. James
by fire last week.
The dwelling on the farm OF Mr.. John
Rupert, near Burnt Mills, was burned on
Thursday afternoon of last week, entailing
loss OF about 81 800. The overseer and
his family, who occupied the house, were
away at the time, but neighbors succeeded
in saving nearly all of the furniture. The
fire was probably caused by an overheated
stove. Mr.. Rupert is resident OF Wash
ington.
The large residence on the farm of Mr..
Thomas M. Ofutt, about four miles west Of
Rockville, was destroyed by FIRE early last
Friday morning. Mr.. Offutt was awakened
from his sleep by the roaring OF fire and
found the parlor in flames. With the as
sistance of colored man he succeeded in
saving large portion Of the furniture.
There being no near neighbor, Mrs. Offutt
and her baby were wrapped in blankets and
carried safe distance from the house, where
they remained until daybreak. How the
fire originated is not definitely known.
The residence of Mr. w. III. White, on
Poplar avenue, Takoma Park, was partially
destroyed by fire on Thursday afternoon of
last week. The house was unoccupied at
the time and Mr.. White was unable to as
sign any cause for the FIRE. The building
was damaged to the amount OF 1880. The
fire originated in the attic, where Mr.. White
had a carpenter shop located. Chemical
company No. Q, at Brightwood, was notified /,
and through its efforts succeeded In saving
the building from total destruction. The
flames we're rapidly gaining Roadway, but
the firemen soon had them under control.
Previous to the arrival of the fire depart
ment the citizens formed bucket brigade,
and, aided by volunteers with the hose own
ed by the town Of Takoma Park, did effec-
tive work. The contents of the house were
saved

Do You Want Help

The way now seems TO be plain for the
farmers and housewives Of this county to
obtain all the help they need. Governor
Warfleld has requested the State Bureau Of
immigration to promptly take advantage Of
the decision Of Secretary Straus, Of the De.
partment OF Commerce and Labor, In the
South Carolina case, and the officials of the
Bureau have right willingly complied. I'M
der the decision the State can import labor
ers, which an individual cannot do.
Secretary August F. Trappe, OF the Bu-
reau OF immigration, says:
1--WE have already begun work and will
shortly send an agent abroad to secure the
first party of immigrants. What lie impor-
tant for US to know now is just how many
persons are wanted, what they are expected
to do and what they will be paid. For In.
stance, John Jones writes us that he wants
q man for general farm work and will give
him SIS month and board, and Samuel
Smith sends US word that he will take Q man
and wife with their family, giving the man
$25 month, house rent, firewood, garden
and COW pasture. Now, If several hundred
farmers will promptly send US similar letters
we will know just what to do, how many
people to bring over and what kind. We
cannot bring more than there are places for,
because the State must guarantee to take
care of them unless they get employment.
"Mr. Louis T. Weis, United States Com
missioner of Immigration at Baltimore, in
forms us that the contract labor law does
not apply to women who come as domes'
tics, therefore applications can DO made d.
rect for a woman to do general homework
for Mrs. Brown, Smith or Jones at specified
wages. We will arrange to supply such
help IS far as possible"

Don't Neglect Your Teeth.

The majority Of people seldom realize the
closeness Of the relationship between the
mouth and other parts of the human body.
The mouth Ia the gateway to the human
system, and because of this relationship, al
ways should be kept wholesome and clean.
Happiness Is the result OF good health;
health Is gained by having a pure, clean
mouth. It is, therefore, important that your
teeth should be examined (free of cost regu-
larly by competent and experienced dem
