These were that Hugh Murphy had the
lowest bid, that he was a responsible bid
der and that his brick proved better In
the test. The mayor descanted or the poll

tracts for city improvements to insure the
work being done for reasonable figures.
He asserted he believed that II was illegal

port OF his report on the tests made, he
submitted the figures of Andrew Rose
water. the city engineer Of Omaha, who
personally conducted the test, This report
showed the Purington block was the poorer
brick, having lost 17.6 per cent in the tum-
bier while the Coffeyville brick lost only
IA per cent.
The council also had a communication
from the Good Government league ask

Construction Company be reconsidered.
On the formal motion, "shsll the previ-

HASTINGS, Neb., Jan. SOTO the Editor
Of The Bee: In your paper of January %
you ridicule Mr.. John Sinks bill. Now this
bill was gotten up by the travelling men of
Nebraska and is not the rummer's dream.
In the first place the bill does not call for
a nine-foot sheet, but calls for the bottom
sheet to be of sufficient length to cover
the mattress, the top sheet to cover the
bed and turn back three feet. Now here is
where the hotel man gets off: The three
feet extra sheeting covers the bedding so
that the top bedding will last three times
as long ana insure the person who sleeps
in the bed that his face is not coming in
contact with the bedding used by everybody.
The travelling statesmen are in great de-
mand about election time, but when they
want a little legislation for their own bene-
fit or comfort the press of the state take
1t up and ridicule the salesman who intro
duces our bill.
Very few of the hotel men are kicking on
the bill, as they say it will save them
money in the long run.
II a few Of the editors in the state would
get out on the road for one week and 20
up against what we do year after year the
press would all be for us.

HASTINGS, Neb., Jan. SOTO the Editor
OF The Bee: In your morning issue Of
January % under the heading, Hotel Man
has Nightmare" you take another shot at
the Sink bill for sanitary measures regu-
latlng hotels. The Bee has not treated this
measure with the fairness 1t deserves. The
bill does not specify nine-foot sheets, but
does specify that the top sheet shall be
three feet longer than the bottom sheet and
fold back over the top clothes. There have
been many inquiries as to why this provi-
sion was asked for, and here is the reason:
At this time of year the hotels provide an
extra comforter, which the guest usually
finds rolled up on the foot of the bed. Upon
unrolling it he finds that all four of the
edges are rotten filthy. He must either
sleep with this filthy coverlet under his
nose and mouth or sleep cold. The long
top sheet folds back over this. thus keeping
the dirty comforter from coming in con-
tact with the face.
We have many laws to protect the health
OF our people and why this one should an
tagonize anyone is beyond our ken. Public
sentiment was enough to put long top
sheets on Pullman cars, but it requires a
law to protect the poor devil whose home
from five to seven days a week is the hotel
catering to commercial trade"
In the Sink hotel measure the 1000 trav-
cling men OF Nebraska are asking for Moth
ing beyond the bounds of reason, and IN
the asking deserve to be treated with fair
ness and not with ridicule.

What is believed TO be the first case Of
blood TRANSMISSION from a white man to a
colDred person was made here tonight at
Bellevue hospital. The patient, Julia Her

that the only hope of saving her life lay
in the TRANSMISSION of new blood. The situa-
ton vas explained To the orderlics of the
hospital by DR.. Gelser, and several offered
their blood. Gustav Labrink, a messenger,
was chosen for the operation. Abouta pint
of his blood was transfusod. The woman,

FADS and FANCIES
LATE FEMININE APPAREL.

A Journal. which should be better
informed, speaks approyingly Of the
simplicity and lack Of restraint in
the present style Of feminine dress.
The truth is that the corset Of 1908
is the most complete instrument ever
devised BY fashion for female tor
ture. The seeming simplicity Of the
mode calls for the apparent elimina-
tion Of hips, and to this end the new
corset is cunningly adapted.-Mrs.
Mae E. Robinson, in True Democrat.

well rounded, says the Delineator for
January. The high-b ned collars
that hold the neck stidy as in a wise,
and preclude all ease and grace Of
motion, are ruinous to enc Of the
most seductive parts of she body, as
the lines that run from the cal to
the shoulder and from the chin to q
weIl-formed bust are beautiful in The
extreme when properly proportional,
graceful and we'll rounded.
The foreign peasant women who
carry packs on their heads have as
tonishingly WeIl-formed threats, and
one of the favorite bits Of advice on
this subject given by beauty special
lists is to carry q weight upon the
head while going about the house in
pursuit of oour daily duties.
To be sure if you sit still and hold
the head and neck rigidly ii will do
mere harm than good. The idea is
to balance the weight with every
movement Of the body; this develops
every muscle Of the throat and adds
grace snd poise to the set Of the
head.
Slowly bending the head back uatil
it rests on the spine, then forward
until the chin rests on the chest,
then rotating il with the eyes closed

window, at the ssme time doing SONS
