Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-06-27
Thursday, June u, 1907.

Simple living, suitable diet,
plenty of fresh air and proper
exercise are to displace nostrums.
In few more generations
hospitals will no longer be needed
for infectious disease as there
will be a none. The only use
for hospitals and ordinary physi-
clans will be in case of accidents.
There will be new kind of
medics who will direct patients
what to eat and drink rather
than what kind of medicine to
take and there will be an era of
and general good health. This,
and more, is the prediction by a
British expert, before recent
medical conference. The fight
against disease is to be carried
on by sanitary engineers, health
boards and experts in preventa-
tive measures that will head off
diseases. The view is an OPP
timistic one and pleases the
fancy of all except the hypochond-
riacs, who would not be happy
unless they were dosing them
selves for all kinds of real and i'm
aginary ills. While the theories
of the eminent Britisher may be
utopian they are not altogether
impossible. If the general public
can be sufficiently aroused and
educated there is no reason why
many of the diseases to which
the flesh is heir cannot be pre-
vented. In a few generations
many of the diseases, generally
regarded as due to heredity, will
be better understood and elimi-
mated, and the prospects for the
better development of the human
race are not altogether discourag'
ing.

The announcemen mt from Chi.
cago that the railroad magnates,
in secret conference, decided to
abandon the fight on rate reg
ulation and reduce passenger
in all states to 2 cents per mile
comes under the important, if
true" class of matter. 1t is such
an astonishing concession to
public sentiment that, in view of
the past antagonisms, it seems
almost beyond credence. If the
railroads have really taken such
action the result will be to create
more pleasant relations with the
public than have existed within
the last decade. In many re-
spects the plan would be master
stroke, and the extension OF
cheap 2 cents rates to, all states
regardless of rate legislation
would be a polite move. While
there is little doubt that Missis-
sippi could afford to make such
a general cut, the roads in the
populated western states may not
be able to declare large dividends
on the profits they will secure
under the new plan.

IN FAR OFF MARS.
People of Planet boarding Every Drop
Of Water.

While the people on the planet of
Mars are supposed to be vastly super.
ior in every way to the inhabitants
of this earth, according to Prof. Lest
er F. Ward, of Brown university, they
have only about 100000 more years
to live, while the people of this world
are only beginning their allotted
space of 100000 years.
Thirst will kill the Martians, the
professor says, and even now it Is dry
time perpetually up there. Most Of
the waters that once covered every.
thing have vanished in the same way
that this planet is all the while losing
hydrogen, one of the two components
of water. This process has proceeded
so far on Mars that most of the liquid
refreshment of its inhabitants, assum.
ing it has such, is confined to narrow
circles about the two poles. 1t is
made available for the uses of the
Martians only by means Of an intri.
cate network Of canals.
"On Mars we can, as it were, see
with our own eyes a race Of vast an
tiquity and supreme wisdom, clinging
desperately to the orb that bore it,
half gasping for breath, and boarding
every drop of its precious water, but
doomed in the relatively near future
to face the lingering death of dying
world"
This gloomy picture, Prof. Ward
says, is in store for the people of this
earth, but there is no need of worry at
the present time, as 1t is $4,000, 900
years distant

The general conditions over
the country indicate there will be
an average crop-despite the
croakers. No bumper crop is
anticipated in either this state or
any other part of the west.
There are-besides the late
spring-other conditions un-
favorable to big yields. In some
sections of this state the moisture
is inadequate. The rainfall has
been general and in such abund-
ance that all the counties, includ-
ing those ordinarily regarded as
dry, have ample moisture. OF
course a favorable season from
now on till harvest is necessary,
but at present the state is in
satisfactory shape-though no
one familiar with the conditions
is likely to insist that there will
be a record breaking crop.

Chinese Minister'S American Ways

The Chinese minister to the United
States, Sir Chentung Liancheng, is a
graduate of Andover and Yale. He is
a devotee of baseball, and often at
tends the games. A good player him
self, he often is the chief figure in a
most unique picture, when playing,
his skirts tucked up, with his two
small boys and their little friends
Tennis, too, has been a great favorite
with the minister, while he is also
very much devoted to horseback rid
ing These last two accomplishments
are rather rare among orientals.

Cbar;var;; idiots a. Washington !

Charivari idiots at Washington
recently threw rice at a newly
married couple. There was
broken glass in the rice and the
bride was temporarily, perhaps
permanently, blinded. That will
probably not prevent repetition
of this insane custom, but it
should encourage some men to
WELD a "big stick" against
offenders of that class.

S. S. Convention at Hastings.

The Sunday school forces of
Nebraska are rejoicing over the
fact that the Fortieth annual
convention of the Nebraska Sun
day School association which
was held at Hastings June Is to
20, was the greatest convention
in the history of the association,
in all respects. The convention
of last year broke all previous
records with 6l2 delegates while
the registration of this year came
near the 1900. The way in
which people swarmed into Has
tings from all parts of the state
convinced every one that new
era in Sunday school work had
dawned. Not only did people
come in crowds but they came in
earnest. They came to learn and
went home filled. They gath
cred knowledge and enthusiasm
which will give a new impetus
TO work all over the state.
Mr.. Marshall A. Hudson, of
Syracuse, N. Y, founder of the
"Baraca" movement won the
hearts and stirred the souls of
the delegates by relating his
experiences in his work with
men.
DR.. VIM. B. Forbush, who has
won for himself a place in the
front rank among the Sunday
School workers of our land gave
four splendid addresses upon
various phases CT the "boy prob
lem." He dealt largely with
fundamental principals which
were practical and have their
application in every Sunday
school in the land.
The first day of the convention
was given up to the Elementary
department. Mrs. J. w. Barnes,
of Newark, N. j., lead in this
work and delivered several very
helpful addresses. Reports show
that great progress has been
made in this department during
the past year.
The good people of Hastings
opened wide the doors of their
homes and royalty entertained
the throng of delegates.
Custer county was we'll repre-
sented by thirty-three delegates
from various parts of the county.
The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year:
George G. Wallace, of Omaha,
president.
HI. Lomax, of Broken Bow, re-
cording secretary.
e. C.. Babcock, of Lincoln,

Some people, on the Fourth of
July, mistake noise for patrio-
tism. They imagine that in
order to be patriotic they must
make a noise and the louder the
noise and the bigger the explosion
the more patriotic, but as a
matter of fact sane citizens look
upon such individuals as being
daffy instead of patriotic.
