WOULD CONSERVE THE

Washington, Oct. 13.-Prof Irving
Fisher, the noted political economist
Of Yale university, who declared before
the International Congress on Tubercu-
losls hst week that consumption costs
the people Of the United States more
than billion dollars a year, is prepar-
ing an exhaustive report for the ma
tional conservation commission, which
IS expected to contain much additional
data on the economic loss to the ma
ton from all other preyentable dis
eases. The Gubject Of the economic
value to the country Of a general rails
ing Of the average health came up in
the governors conference at the White
House last May. At that time Dr.
George NJ. Kober in his speech on the
CONSERVATION of Life and Health by
Improved Water Supply" presented fig
ures which show that the decrease in
the vital assets" Of the country
through typhoid fever alone, in single
year is more than 50,O0O,OOO. Cen
sus bureau figures show that the aver
age annual death rate from typhoid
in cities with contaminated water sup
plies was reduced from 69.4 per 10000
TO 1913 by the substitution of pure sup
plies. Or. Fishers report should be OF
very valuable to the scientific and eco

INDIAN SAVES LIVES BY
HIS HORSEMANSHIp

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 12.-Indian
horsemanship saved the lives of doz-
en- little children at the Spokane fair
grounds, and netted Bart McNamane, a
fullblood Occur d'Alene, a hatful Of
silver. Two horses, hitehed to a de-
livery wagon became frightened and
dashed through the grounds. Several
men tried to head them off, only to
be hurled aside, when the blanketed
Indian, mounted on a sorrel mustang,
hove into sight. With a lusty ZIP"
he dug his cssined toes into TIE
horses ribs and started in pursuit, 100
yards back. Approaching the run
aways he leaned far out of his saddle,
grabbed the bit OF the nearest horse
and swung the team into the clear,
within a half dozen feet Of the young
sters huddled near a fence. Cheers
from several thousand men and wom-
en-, who we're helpless to give aid,
greeted the Indian as he rode away
after fastening the team to a post. He
was surprised when more than $40 in
quarters, halves and dollars was
poured into his saddlebags. He did
not want the money, he said. and he
spent it buying candy and sweets for
the hundreds of children on the
grounds. They declare Bart is not only
a hero but also "a good fellow"

WILL SU. BOOK

Guthrie, Okla. Oct. 12.-Goyernor
Haskell has directed Attorney General
West to bring sui; against CHM & Co.
II it can be legally done to compel
the company to make exchaneec Of old
books for new, regardless Of whether
the book Is used in the same grade.
The governor alleges that nearly all of
the book companies In Oklahoma are
violating their contracts by refusing to
exchange books except where used in
the same grade.
The governor recommends that the
attorney general first take up the case
of Gan Z Co, whom he designates as
the most persistent In dlsregarding the
contract and suggests that application
be made to put the books of the com
pany In the state into the hands of a
receiver aud that an Injunction be
asked restraining the company from
removing its property from the state.
Governor Haskell states in his letter
that unless this course is pursued the
company could remove its books from
the state and tie up the work in the
schools until the suit was settled.
