BAN ON STORM WINDOW
State Board Of Control, Thru Its
Health Department, Advises Against
Use Of Double Windows on Sleeping
Apartments.

Special to mes-Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 1.-THE state board
of control does not believe that storm
windows are conducive to health, and
thru DIR. Kepfords tuberculosis depart
ment has issued protest against shut
ting out the fresh air, especially from
tin to the press of the state on this
question has been issued, in which DR.
Kepford says:
"As the winter closes in many people
will find 1t necessary to make their
houses warm by adding storm Win
dows. On the living apartments the
storm windows may not be so objec-
tionable, and yet to insure the highest
opportunity for health the house would
be better without them. But 1t is lit
tie less than crime to put storlh
windows on the sleeping apartments Of
our dwelling houses.
1T is believed that there can be
health of the people and nothing more
detrimental than to enclose with storm
windows the rooms which are occu-
pied during the hours Of sleep. Dur
ing sleep the processes of elimination
are going on very rapidly in the body.
Poisonous gases are being exhaled
from the lungs in great volume. If,
therefore, the air is not constantly sup
piled with oxygen from the outside it
is impossible to keep the air Of the
room pure; it soon becomes vitiated
and foul with the most disastrous,
poisons. In many houses the sleeping
apartments will be sweltering with filth
and foul air and it Is imperative. that
especially the sleeping rooms of chill
dren shall be supplied with abundant
ventilation, Colds and catarrhs will
be the order and Group, sore throat and
tonsilitis will be the bane of the chill
dren in such cases. The parent or care
.taker of a child who imagines that the
sleeping room should be closed against
cold fresh air makes a serious mis-
take. There isN nothing that can give
such vitality,to a child as plenty of
fresh air. Should any fear a draft in
the TOOI1 let LHGII lOlioW lWHol WiiiSh
is suggested here: Lower the. top half
of the window its full length. Tack
piece of Indian head muslin to the top
OF the window sash and carry it to the
top of the window frame, lacking it
firmly there. Do not tack the sides
so that the window may be shut in
case of driving storm, thus letting
the screen fall inside. This will act
as a protection against drafts and Of
fers very inexpensive mode Of ven
tilation.
Persons who will follow the above
instructions will find their children go
ing thru the winter without sore
throat or tonsilttis in almost every in
stance, and in the event a child should
take cold do not close the windows
but protect the child properly and place
his bed beside the open window. He
will rapidly recover. This is only an
intimation of what should be done, re-
garding the increased protection
against cold sought during the. Win-
ter season. Do not put storm. windows
on your sleeping apartments

DECLINE TO RECONSIDER Mayors Terms to Bor-
 row Sustained. ELECTION ON BONDS PROPOSED Ordinance Contemplating Improve
 ments is Introduced. Alderman Johnsou's Motion to Recon siaer Agreement wath First
 E.tional Bank Tabled
 by Council. .A
ELECTION ON BONDS PROPOSED

Convening on special call the Council last night declined to reconsider it's or- dinance providing for the borrowing of e10o,000 in accordance with the terms made by Mayor Teague with the First National Bank of Montgomery ana committed properly the ordinance in- tended to provide for an election by which the citizens of Montgomery will decide whether they win issue bonds for the building of schools and for other purposes.
 Additionally the Aldermen considered several matters of less importance.
 The business was not transacted without much debate. The motion to reconsider was introduced by Alderman Johnson who made a spirited speech in advocacy of the motion. Mir. Johnson declared that the proposition that had been made to the Council by the Mayor as representing the city was unfair to the city and he intimated strongly that the city was being improperly treated. He said that the city could have made better terms with another of the banks of the city and that the terms of the First National should not have been considered.
 Alderman Johnson was followed by Alderman Moritz, chairman of the Fi- nance Committee.
 Tt was at the conclusion of Mir. Nor itz's speech that President Gunter. then on the floor, while Alderman Saul was In the chair, moved that the mo- 4ion to reconsider be tabled and the motion prevailed with the following votes:
 Ayes-President Gunter. Aldermen Hinds. Jones, Perry. Saul, Thompson, Tooie.
 Nays--Aldermen Johnson. Kennedy. Lowe, Moritz. Parrish. Virgin.
 The ordinance for the election on the issuance of bonds in the sum of s1e0,OOo for the building of schools. the extension of the water works and che sanitary sewerage systems. and the construction of a city warehouse and wharf at the river front, was com mitted without debate to the Finance Committee. For school purposes, S100,- GOO, it Is contemplated, will be used: for the improvement of water works, s2s, 900: for the extension of the san- ffary sewerage system. s25.0o0, and for the city warehouse and wharf. S1o.00o.
 The other matters considered were petitions and minor reports of commit tees.

STRANGE MEN ARRESTED.
They are Charged With an Attempt a
 Theft

Joe and William Moore. white men claiming to be from the District of Columbia, were arrested at about 4:S0 o'clock yesterday by Onlcers Evans and Jackson on the charge of sus" picion. It is thought probable that the men on the pretense of begging have been entering houses with the intent Co burRlarize them if circumstances were fortuitous to their design.
 While passing the residence of Mrs. Haiis Janney, 60T Monroe Street. yesterday afternoon, Ewing Taylor, the young son of Chief Taylor, and willy John Taylor, his cousin, noticed awo men hurrying up the street and at the same time heard Mrs. Janney's cry 10 "stop those men," Accordingly the boys pursued the men and overlook them but could not attempt to over power them. Ewing, however arter speaking to the men, stepped to nsighboring telephone and informed headduarters of the occurrence with 1he result that the men were shortly afterwards arrested.
 If was later learned that the two men had approached Mrs. Janney at her residence to beg for food ana clothes, and while one of them was engaging her in conversation, the oth- CT, it is alleged, entered the house pre- sumably for the purpose of theft Up- on being discovered by her, the man fed his partner with him. It was at this time that the Taylor boys were passinR the house and instituted chase after the men,
 The evidence in the case IS being worked up, and the trial of the men will be held within the next feW days'

NEGRO IN JAIL FOR
 AKILLING AT A DANCE

Deputy sheriff J. B. Clements yester- day morning brought to the County Jail negro, Walter Yelder wanted for the killing Of n companion Sam Ba nks on Saturday night on the Hunter place about seven, miles from the city on the road connecting the Washington Ferry Road and the Wire Road in the west ern part of the city. The deputy had no trouble at all in bringing his prfs- oner back to the city, the negro accom- panying the officer cheerfully and ex- blaming the tragedy at length to him.
 From the negross story it appears that he and the negro Banks had some words about matter at dance. and the argument becoming heated Banks drew a revolver to defend his state ments. Yelder was too quick for him, however. and filled his assailant with shot from a double barfelled gun which was handy.
 The negro was placed in one of the strong cells of the jail and his prelim- mary hearing will be announced at a later date. No bond will be allowed him in the meanwhile.
