held in Secretary Wilson's office last
Thursday, at which both oleomargarine
interests and dairy interests were repre-
scented. The oleomarsarine people con-
tended that the government mark was
that it would result in a
useless expense to them. that the depart
ment had no right to make the regula-
ton and that the whole matter was COW
cred by the Internal revenue regulations.

 The London Express published July 20 the result of poll of it's readers on the question. of woman suffrage. The figures showed 13,316 men and 37,962 women in favor of woman suf- frage, and 60,047 men and 49,942 women opposed. No such newspaper poll is conclusive, but these figures at least suggest that the noisy suffrag- cite campaign in England has made little real headway among either men or women-The Remonstrance.

HIDDEN DANGERS.

Uric acid is a deadly poison that is produced in the human body, and it is the duty of the kidneys to collect this poison from the blood, and to pass It safely out of the system, together with all waste water.
 It is the presence in the body of an excess of uric acid that causes so much pain and suffering, and so many of the aches that are commonly at tributed to rheumatism.
 The kidneys are bean-shaped or gans, composed of masses of little tubes, all of which pour their secre- tions into a main channel that leads to the bladder. Tn this way the kid neys pass of more than an ounce of poison every day when in health.
 But 1t does not take much to set the kidneys back, and when they get behind, they can not right themselves without help. The uric acid begins to clog the kidneys. causing that dull heavy aching in the back and sharp twinges when stopping or lifting. It crystallizes in the muscles and joints and every turn or twist brings keen est torture. It attacks the nerves with neuralgia. and sciatica. It brings headache. dizziness, languor, and disorder of the urine.
 Try a good kidney medicine. if you have any of the above symptoms.
 There IS nothing else 90 prompt and effective as Doan's Kidney Pills, and

MILK RULES.

Tuberculosis kills 5,000,000 people annually. It may be carried through infected milk
 Select milkman who has clean hands, clean clothes, clean wagon, clean cans, clean bottles.
 Do not select a milkman because he sells milk cheap.
 Refuse milk that shows deposit of dirt in the bottom of the bottle.
 Do not forget that dirt in milk is a menace to health.
 Do not forget that dirty milk may kill the baby.
 Always keep pasteurized milk cool Use at once. Do not forget that germs multiply more rapidly in pas teurized milk than in any other.
 Do not leave milk uncovered any where.
 Do not leave milk in warm room or unchilled ice box. Protect it from flies. Do. not leave 1t out of doors in the sun. or exposed to cats and dogs
 Do not use milk bottles for any thing but milk
 Wash and scali milk bottles as soon as emptied. Return clean bot ties to the milkman. Buy only bot tied milk if possible.
 While these "maxims'' may horrify some good housekeepers. who would never think of being guilty of the negligence implied, there are homes without number, nice homes. too, where sanitary and hygienic rules are violated constantly. In some of these 1t Is because the housekeeper is young or inexperienced. In others where the care of the kitchen and marketing are left entirely to ser wants ignorant or constitutionally careless.
 To these housekeepers let me whisper that attention to the mean est detail in housekeeping is not ignoble. It is not only woman's duty but her great privilege. A man can not make a home. He may build the house.

The republicans from the presi, dent down appear to have no real issues this year. It is all case of You're another,' and judging by the way some take it that will suit as we'll as anything else. You don't hear them shouting about the full dinner pail this trip, and no won- der, for the average wage earner had little use for dinner pail the last year or so. He had nothing to put in it, and in any case he was out O. employment and if he had any din- ner he could partake of 1t at home. So you see there Is method in the side stepping of issues and making personal attacks upon men in the hope of hoodwinking the unwary once more.

The republican congressional com mittee which has been dominated by law defying trusts for years does not mind little thing like, violat- ing federal statute. The commit tee has gone ahead this year as in former years sending out campaign literature in. violation of the frank. ing privilege. An instance has just been disclosed wherein the frank of Congressman William B. Mckinley of Illinois, chairman of the republi- can congressional campaign commit tee was used in sending to voters un- frankable material. The speech of Congressman Edward L. Taylor of Ohio on "the colored vote" is being sent broadcast under congressional frank. This is all right since that particular speech is frankable mat ter, but in the envelope containing the appeal for "the colored vote, :" are the following pamphlets which are not entitled to go through the mails free of cost: William How ard Taft, Man Who Has Done Things William H. Taft, an Ap- preciation," by Rev Lyman Abbott, D. D., Christian Missions and Civ. ilization," by the Hon William H. Taft; Address of James s. Sher- man in Response to Notification Speech" Every instance of this violation of the franking privilege saves the republican party four cents.

That the government may estab- fish a national board of health with
 an officer at its head who will be virtually member of the president s
 cabinet is a prediction that does not
 seem so unlikely of fulfillment as in
 the days when the government has
 not begun it's supervision and regu-
 lation of everything under the sun
 Various persons throughout the
 country have been advocating for
 some time such department and
 the tuberculosis congress in session at Washington has gone on record as in favor of such an innovation. It is we'll known that the president would lend his approval to the sug- gestion and as 1t is one which is sure to meet the wishes of the pub lie, there is strong probability that We may soon have secretary of public health with large corps of medical experts under him. There Is already in Washington public health and marine hospital service but it's work is confined principally to quarantine. the examination of an- ti-toxins and the care of sick sailors. There is also the bureau of pure foods and in the census office there is division of vital statistics all of which would be combined in the new department. A special medical officer with corps of experts would be given charge of the tuberculosis division and for the first time in history a national government would be working for the extirpation of worldwide scourge. It is evident to the medical profession that to make effective the crusade against tuber- culosis it is more necessary to edu cate the people than to go on in private laboratories trying to find a specific for it. A national depart ment of health would of course en- courage and undertake on it's own account experimental work looking toward the discovery of an anti. toxin of tuberculosis but an even more important endeavor would be made toward supplying the public with information concerning the dis ease, its treatment and the means Of preventing it's spread. AS there are 138,000 deaths. each year in the United States from consumption and as from these cases at least mill lion persons are directly menaced by infection, it Is evident that cam paign of education is the only means at present of reducing the number of its victims. T have long felt said the world famous Dr Koch, the dis covered of tuberculosis bacilli, that in this generally infectious disease of tuberculosis, as I have felt in re- gard to many infectious diseases in the study of which I have occupied my life, that every effort must he taken to prevent the spread of this contagion, and most important of all, the contamination of human beings by each other.

the matter was reported to General Long
street, who placed General Toombs under ar
rest. The next day, while on the march, Gen
eral Toombs had to ride in the rear Of his
command, and was using language not suita-
bic for a church, or Sunday school. One Of
General Longstreet s aides was passing and re-
ported it to General Longstreet, telling him
1t he did not want to put down mutiny in
Toombs brigade, he had better send him to
the rear, and he was ordered back to Gordon
Vile At Manassas, on the 30th Of August
General Toombs overlook the army, and re-
ported on the field to General Longstreet, who
told him he had sent an order releasing him
from arrest. "I will take the order in per-
son." said General Toombs, and I want to
lead my brigade in battle.'' The battle Of
Manassas was fought on Saturday evening,
August 30th, 1862, and considering the num-
Der Of troops and the time they were engaged
was the most disastrous battle fought during
the war. At IL m. on Friday, Longstreet's
corps reached the field, and formed on Jack
son s right, stacked arms and broke ranks
At p M on Saturday they were in the same
position, with the men in the rear of the guns
the most of them in the arms of Morpheus,
no doubt dreaming of the loved ones at home,
in the far away sunny South.
About 800 yards in front, and opposite An
dersons left, was Confederate battery she'll
ing piece Of woods. They seemed to be in
no hurry about it, as though they had plenty
of time in which to complete the job. A line
of blue coats were seen emerging from the
woods, advancing on the battery. Then the
guns opened up as though in life and death
struggle Staff officers came dashing at full
speed in front of the line, yelling, Forward, as
they passed, and in less time than it takes to
write it, the line was moving to the front
at the double quick. After going about one
mile Anderson s brigade reached farm house,
and was ordered to left half wheel, passing
down a branch skirted by piece of woods.
After going about 400 yards we crossed a
ridge, and about fifty yards beyond it the line
halted, like it had run against a stone wall.
Being in the line Of file closers | did not know
what to make of the halt, as [ had heard no

line [ saw what must have caused my heart
