Commit Murder.
st. Petersburg, March 15.-A dis
patch to the Novoe Vremya from
Julia, on the frontier between Rus
sia and Persia, says that 1000 per-
sian government horsemen and COO
infantrymen are marching on Julia
from the Persian bank of the Arax-
es river, devastating the villages in
their path and shooting down peo-
pie. Already ten villages, four Of
them inhabited by Russian subjects,
have been pillaged and burned. The
troops are ruthlessly killing the
peasants. Many women carrying
children on their backs attempted to
swim the river to the Russian lines,
but were shot while in the water by
the Persians. Three hundred home
less Russian families have taken
refuge on an island in the river op-
posite Julia.

drinking glasses have been found tt
have large numbers of dangerou.
germs. An outbreak of diphtheris
among twenty-four persons in Roch
ester, N. Y, came from one drink
ing cup. Nasty towels, dirty book:
and germ-laden dust are just as
dangerous. Penholders, rulers, ani
pencils, which children put in thei,
mouths, may be just as dangerous
And the danger is found as great in
| many of our best schools as In
others.
The common drinking cup
should be banished from every
school, and 1t should not be pos
sible for the dangerous germs Of the
sick child to produce an epidemic or
endanger the lives or health of we'll
ones"
A vast number of facts are given
In the article referred to, not only
for the benefit of the children, but
for the benefit of their parents and
many others. 1t is a serious ques-
tion for medical men to consider
how far it is safe for religious COM
municants to drink from the same
vessels the communion wines.
The article gives accounts of a
large number of schools in the Unit
ed States which are already making
efforts to prevent epidemies, dis
ease, and death by the prevention
of the circulation of dangerous
germs. And the editors ask all who
are interested in preventing their
own lives and the lives of those that
are dear to them, and particularly
medical men, to send to the editors
of Good Housekeeping. Springfield,
Massachusetts, facts which may aid
them.
l want to help this humane work.
Good Housekeeping reaches about
two hundred and thirty-fve thous-
and readers. Our Dumb Animals,
going out as it does every month
to every newspaper and magazine in
America north of Mexico and con-
siderably to other publications over
the civilized world, is likely to carry
an important article like this not
to two hundred and thirty-five
thousand alone, but possibly twenty
millions of the human race. l most
earnestly hope that all the above
twenty thousand newspapers and
magazines that receive Our Dumb
Animals every month will succeed
in attracting national and inter-
national attention to this subject.
And cerainly l hope that all the over
three millions members of our over
seventy thousand Bands of Mercy
may escape epidemics, sickness, and
death coming from these easily pre-
ventable causes.

He Cares for Children and People
-. as We'll as Animals.

-. as We'll as Animals.
Good Housekeeping, published in
Springfield, New York and Chicago,
circulation about two hundred and
thirty-five thousand, sent to my table
a few weeks ago, as l have before
stated, a copy of its issue contain
ing a picture and sketch of the life
of Theodore Roosevelt, with letter
requesting that their special artist
should visit Boston and take sim
liar picture of myself, and a sketch
of my life SO much longer than Pres
ldent Roosevelts. The result of
which was that in its February,
1909, issue came to my table pict-
ure and sketch satisfactory to my
friends, which at their request re-
publish.
In this same issue comes a most
important article on Deadly Pois-
ons in Our Schools" which may
travel hundred times as far as
my personal history.
Shortly after receiving the first
copy of this magazine, l received
from western gentleman, Mr..
Thomas H. Jackson, 8O6 Division
street, Cheboygan, Michigan, very
earnest letter asking my assistance
to stop the poisonous ventilations
and other poisonous dangers that
are now very common in our homes
and schools. l thought no better
use could be made Of that very in
teresting letter, the result of many
investigations, than in sending it to
Good Housekeeping which had been
also investigating the subject. The
result of Good Housekeepings in
vestigations seemed to make it per-
fectly clear that tens of thousands
of adults in homes and children in
schools have been suffering sickness
and death from improper ventila-
tion and other avoidable dangers.
And now, in its February issue,
comes It's second article on "Chil-
dren in PERIL with these state
ments:
"The first perils in our schools
(fires and ventilation) are trifing
beside the constant spread of disease
through common drinking cups,
nasty towels and other mediums of
infection. Diphtheria. pneumonia
and other diseases are found by
analysis in drinking cups. A cup
used by ten boys was found to be
carrying about seventy-fve thousand
germs. Special investigat tions by
representatives of this magazine,
many of them parents, reveal the
appalling conditions in about ninety
per cent. of the. schools visited in
many sections of the United States
How long will intelligent parents
and teachers Qet alone boards OF
healthy permit this wholesale pois-
oning to continue?"
In the, August, 1908, issue of this
magazine, an article entitled "The
Cup that Kills." telling how a three.
year::oM girl cursed for life from
one Of the most loatbsome diseases
coming. from q single use of a rail
road drinking glass.

AND CONCISE
PRESIDENT TAFT's MESSAGE
CONTAINED BUT -FOUR HUN
DRIED WORDS.
ADVISED CONGRESS THAT TAR.
IFF WAS THE SUBJECT FOR j
THEIR CONSIDERATION.

Washington, March 16.-Congress
convened at noon today and a few
minutes later President Taft's mes
sage was submitted. 1t was very
brief and contained less than 400
words. He said that he had called
congress together in extraordinary
session to enable it to give consid-
GRAFTON to the immediate revision of
the Dingley tariff act. That this wa,
necessary on account of the changed
conditions of business, and also be-
cause the present law, with no other
sources of revenue, does not provide
money enough for the governments
expenses. He declared that the de-
iicit would reach $1O0,OOO,O0O for
the present fiscal year. The republl-
an party had pledged itself to re-
Use the tariff, and, in the interest
Of business stability, this should be
lone as quickly as possible consist
ent with a thorough consideration
Of the matter. He referred to the
inaugural address for his views on
me question at issue and closed with
the admonition that the session
should be devoted chiefly to the
tariff bill, and that" the less time
given to other subjects of legisla-
ton at this session the better it
will be for the country"
The new tariff bill will be intro
duced in the house tomorrow.
Immediately after the presidents
message was read the senate ad-
journed until Friday.
In the house the matter of draw
ing for seats was taken up. Several
OF the Oldest members were allowed
to select their own seats.

Los Angeles. Cal.-Under the direc-
ton of the women of the Civic associa-
tion, the Ann street school children
enjoyed their first penny lunch the
other day. which from now on will
be served to the children at cost. The
hungry boys and girls were seated at
long tables covered with plain white
cloth. with white enamel plates and
cups at each place. To each OF the
children was served hot soup. fresh
buns and vaHoy OF fruit.
Although the food served cost about
four cents for each child. the expense
to each will be only one cent, and this
amount will obtain as many bowls of
soup and as many buns as desired.
The penny payment is to instill a
spirit of independence into each child.
Similar lunchrooms will be established

COMISKEY PLANS WORLDS
TOUR FOR HIS BALL TEAM
Owner Of Chicago White Sox An
nounces Intention Of Taking
Players Around Globe.

Charles Comiskey, owner of the
take the club around the world. The
"Old Roman" has announced his in
tcntion of making the trip as soon as
he can get his business affairs shaped
up so that he can be away from home
long enough to take the 2j,000-mile
journey. No specified time has been
set by the owner of the former worlds
ball grounds finished and move into
them in the summer of 1910, as he
now expects to, he will start with his
team the fall Of that year.
Agents of steamship lines already
have called on Comiskey to figure with
him on carrying him across the Pa
cific ocean and landing him in the
orient. Since "Commy" learned of
the great trip made by Mike Fisher
and his combination OF stars this past
winter he has made up his mind that
he will take his men farther than any
other team has ever travelled. 1t
has always been one of his ambitions
to take a team around the world, ever
since A.. G. Spalding took his band
on that tour 20 years ago.
Baseball has become known to the
world since then and IL is now be.
ing played in japan and China as
we'll as in the island possessions OF
the United States. Such trip would
pay for itself from the gate receipts
and It would do the game a world OF
good by introducing II into countries
that have never seen 1t played as it Is
played in America. While in Cal
ifornia with his team Comiskey
talked with some OF the promoters OF
the oriental trip this winter and he
learned that 1t is possible to make the
trip without taking any great chance
of losing money on II. IL is not foi
financial gain. however, that he wants
to make the journey, but for the pur
pose of introducing the modern game
into the countries that have showr
desire to take up with IL and tC
give his players a chance to see the
world. 1t will be an incentive tC
the members of the White Sox team
to play the best ball they know how
from now until the time of the trip
The owner of the White Sox has
often said he would take his men Il
Ireland to train. That country would
be one of the stopping places of tn,
team on the trip back from the fal
east. The men could be landed II
New York in plenty of time for tn,
start of the season of 1911, givins
them some five months for the Ions
expedition.
