From the Station to the Capitol.

Practically every member of Con-
gress will get out of his train at
the Union Station. He win then
walk half mile or ride a mile
around two sides of triangle to
get to the Capital. 1t viii be his
fault and he viii know it, if he has
intelligence and a memory.
If the Commissioners want that
state of Affairs corrected, the sooner
they strike after these Congress
men have taken their long walk or
longer ride, the better. The District
should thus be able to get action
out of the committees by the
Christmas holidays. Then it can
rely on the second walk 70 and
from the station to get the bill
through early in January.

LITE IoHNs OPINION.

Things are just right" said little John.
The seasons al, / mean.
For when vacation days are here
Then all the world is green.
The skies are blue and days are warm.
And swimming pools are clear:
And fun abounds for all boy-kind.
During summertime each, year.
But when the school days roll around
Chill autumn comes, you know:
And followed is by frost and blast.
And freezing winters snow.
So everything Is right 1 claim.
About this big world round.
And nowhere could a better place
Than this old earth be found"

Is the Nation Helpless?

A few years ago the country
looked on at the spectacle of guards
patrolling the Mississippi borders to
keep away the people of Louisiana,
a few of whom were then afflicted
with yellow fever. Washington has
its annual alarm over the pollution
of the Potomac b. paper mills in
Maryland. New Jersey has pro-
tested more than once against what
it's government has believed to be
the evil Of certain New York city
sanitary expedients.
These are circumstances which
cast cloud of decided doubt over
the efficiency of the State govern
ments for the regulation of disease.
In recognition of that doubt a Com
mittee of One Hundred, organized
by the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, has en-
tered on the study of this problem.
Now preliminary circular has APP
peared from the committee, which
makes it out to be even more seri-
Gus than the above illustrations
would indicate.
Five statements of fact are made
which the reader must regard as
rightly sensational. They are:
That the Ohio river represents 1000
miles OF typhoid fever. and the Hudson
river is "cloaca maXima" from Al
bany 10 the sea: that death prevails
among millions because OF the pOllu-
ton of drinking water and ice in these
and other rivers which are boundaries
between states and subject only to Fed
eral control.
That out Of sO,OOO,OOO Of our people,
100000 must perish from tuberculosis.
which with proper regulation, en-
forced by the Federal power, can be
exterminated as completely as the once
dreaded smallpox and that a uniform
enforcement OF regulations against this
disease Is Imperative because without
II infected persons travel from State
10 State and spread the disease.
That the bubonic plague has gained
SUCH a foothold in California that al
ready national aid has been asked and
only by extending the national quar-
antine can other States be protected.
Tbat the milk supplies OF our cities
are often drawn from sdioininr
states. over which State control is dif-
n I1it 20 maintain and that infant NOR
tallty varies directly with the yary-
ing purity of the milk supply.
Ihat the public has no means Of nh
tanning reliable information as To tbA
nations health, with the result that
LUoV'VOo or human beings die Gin Amer
cannot find out how TO live
Are these declarations iustifabIe2
They come from a source which
commands the greatest respect.
Most Of US have in our own per-
sonal experience been So close to
river pollution like that charged
against the Ohio and the Hudson. to
the horrible levies of tuberculosis.
to the dangers Of impure milk. to
the lack of authentic information on
national health conditions. if not m
the bubonic plague, that we feel
deep in our hearts these conclusions
must be true. Any one of them
merits comment alone. Together.
they drive home the question at the
bottom of Senator Beveridge's child
labor bill:
If any of the States willfully neg
leets the health of its people and
endangers the health of the people
of neighbOring States, is the hmsri-
can Government to look on ct that
neglect and be helpless?

Safe, Sure and Speedy.
No external remedy ever yet de.

met these three prime conditions as

nothing goes into them except ingre.
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which a plaster is re.
quircd. They are speedy in their &C.

go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
Of muscles, nerves and skin.

and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
