What a Feather Bed Does.

New York Times.
"Few people, even physicians
themselves, seem to know tho p1inci-
pal reason why medical science con-
dnmns thc use of feathcrbcds in win
ter as we'll as in SUMNER" said a
New York physician recently.
"It is because feather beds are
highly hygroscopic-4a rather formid-
able word, but one meaning simply
that feathers readily absorb and con-
dense moisture. The body is con-
rstantly throwing off Waste matter
through the skin and the lungs. The
Feathers in the bed will absorb this
waste matter as readily as it will sim
pie atmospheric moisture. The fcath-
crs retain the waste matter DURING
the day when the bed is cold, even
whom it is aired, unless also warmed
by sunshine during the time it is OK
posed to the air.
cat night when the body Of the
sleeper warns the bed the feathers
renew their microscopic action and
throw off the waster matter absorbed
the night before. The susceptible
body Of the sleeper is soon surround
ed by a dense and highly poisonous
atmosphere, the accrmulative effect
OF which cannot hclp but be very in
jurous."

Iceland's census of 1905, recently

that Tcclanders live to an average age
Of G1.S years. Though increasing at
tcntion to hygiene and the triumph
Of medical science over certain dis
eases have raised the estimated mean
duration Of civilized human life by
several years, the average for the
world at large is as yet little beyond

countries Of Iccland's scandinavian
fathcrland, can sustain even very
remote comparison. In Sweden man
lives 5000 years, and in Norway 49,

MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se- rious Consequences of Neg
 lect.

"Fix me up something to knock the malaria, doctor" remarked sallow- faced, sickly looking man, entering a prominent physicians office the other 9ay.
 The doctor stepped to his medicine ease, took down couple of bottles, mixed a preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake we'll and follow directions and resumed his seat.
 "Such cases are frequent, "replied the doctor in answer to question. "The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are most serious in those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full of the impurities on which the malarial germ thrives, and it is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim most of their victims whenever these dls- eases are prevalent.
 The proper way to guard against the ma1aria1 germ and the serious diseases which follow it is to get into good condi- tion by taking a reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy, and to continue with it at fre- quent intervals during the sickly season.
 A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or four times a week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, improv- ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 Prickly Ash Bitters is known every' where as a system tonic and bowel regu. lator. It not only removes all traces of ,nalarial poison from the system, but tones up the vital orgaus, gives new strength and vigor, makes the body strong and the brain active.

&ETS INJUNCTION AGAINST LUDWIG
The Rock Island Secures an Order J Prohibiting Enforcement of the \ Wingo Act-Appeal From
 a the State Courts.

5N St. Paul, Minn., Aug. Judge Van sDeventer, in the United States Circuit sacourt today, issuea 6 temporary re- astraining order prohibiting the sec aretary of state of Arkansas from for afeiting the right of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company Mo do business in that state. ' The complaint was presented to
 he court by Attorney Hicks of Lit tie Rock
 The railroad is organized under @the laws of the state of Iowa, and has sthe right to bring suits against citi- 8Zens of Arkansas in the federal courts and to remove into the United Estates court any suits begun in the state courts. The Wingo act passed by the last Arkansas legislature pro- vides that any corporation which may commence suit in the United States court against any citizen of Arkan- sas or which may remove any suit pending in state court into the Unit ed States courts shall forfeit all rights to do business in the state, and shall be subject to penalty of $1,- 900 day and for each succeeding day it continues to do business there in. The secretary of state is obli- gated with the duty of enforcing the act.
 Recently citizen of Arkansas brought suit in the state court against the Rock Island railroad and the road had it removed to the federal court. The secretary of state there upon began forfeiture proceedings and they were stopped by the injunc- tion issued here today. The 1njunc- tion will hold matters in abeyance until the authority of the secretary Of state can be determined Hearing will be- had at Little Rock October 2.
 The papers in this suit were filed in the United States court in Little Rock last Saturday and forwarded direct to Judge Van Deventer at St. Paul, as he is the United States cir cult judge of the Eighth district. He has Jurisdiction in Arkansas, although Judge Trieber, as circuit judge, would have had jurisdiction had he been in the state. The hearing of the case in October will be before Judge Trieber.
 Thos. s. Buzbee, one of the ROCK Islands attorneys, said last night the complaint filed attacks the constltu- tionality of the Wing oact only as II affects the right of foreign corpora tiOn to institute or remove suits from the state to the federal courts. rms right under the act is dneied foreign corporations.
 MT, Buzbee stated that the compa- ny had probably two suits in the Lo- noke County Circuit Court that the company desired to remove to the federal courts. In order to preclude the possibility of the charter Of the company being revoked by the secre- tary of state the bill for temporary injunction was asked for.
 Deputy Secretary of State E. h. McHaney stated last night that in the event the Rock Island had removed suits to the federal courts he would have followed the provisions Of the Wingo act and revoked the company charter.

platforms at the Manhattan end became crowd

of workers in Manhattan who live in Brooklyn
to the trolley tracks and soon there was a
congestion about the loops.
