steam-heated persons are subjected to! The pro-
lessor in reply might say that the old fellows
who sit around the big stoves in the country
stores certainly show no signs of the troubles
that distress men in cities. They seem to be
happy and contented as they discuss the affairs
OF the nation, or the recent purchase by John
Smith of a fine COW.
But we arc inclined to think there is some
thing, in fact considerable truth in the profess
sor's TRADE against steam heat. Many a tale
of woe and denunciation have we heard from
unfortunates subject to steam heat Work
in some Offices heated by steam and early in the
morning you will think you are on a Cook trip
to the North Pole; and short time later when
the sportive steam heat begins TO get busy, you
will think you have been transferred TO the
tropics and the only relief is TO throw up the
windows. Then the valves or pipes get filled mp
with steam and water and microbes, which begin
to battle among themselves. You send for the
man that knows all about this delightful steam
heat; he does something and cataract of wa
ter gushes from the pipes and makes your
friendly or unfriendly acquaintance. Then in
your apartments, or If you stay at a hotel heat
ed by steam, how often in the night early
morning the steam begins to play a gentle but
monotonous tune in the pipes which is highly
conducive to sleep and rest 1t is interest
ing performance interesting grand opera
TO a man who is so unfortunate as not to appre-
ciate higher music.
The Chicago professor thinks that women arc
especial victims TO steam heat and that steam
heat breeds disease, scandal and dscord. This
may be overdrawing it some, but many Is the
man who will think that there is more than a
dozen pebbles Of truth in the theory of the Chi
cago professor.

After
La Grippe

Il had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. 1t felt as
though there was heavy weight
on the top of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. I was so nervous that

The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.

The Charities Conference recently held in
The New-Century Club building furnished a
great deal of food for thought. The attendance
was not so large as it might have been, but the
attendance does not measure by any means the
influence of such gatherings The papers pre-
scented were thoughtful, and their publication
directs attention to the important matters which
they discussed. The remarks of Police Matron
Wogan, for example, put before the people the
scandalous condition of the City Hall and its
total unhtness for the care of women prisoners.
If we are not to continue this "Black Hole Of
Calcutta" in this city, measures should be taken
at once to remedy this evil Of which Mrs. Wogan

Washington, April 1O.-After more than four
hours debate, the greater part of which had to 90
with the methods OF the Civil Service Commissloii
the Senate passed. without important change ana
by a viva vote, the bill providing for the
taking of the next decennfal census. Under the
leadership Senator Bailey, several Senators ridi
cued the Civil Service Commission and sought to
make II appear that return 10 the spous system
would be improvement over present methods
Senator Lodge, who has been unfaltering cham
pion OF the merit system in the appointment OF
government employees. made the principal speech III
defence of Civil Service reform and replied TO lT
Bailey's critical comment President Taft. The
Senate defeated Mr.. Baleys motion TO permit the
Director of the Census TO. appoint employees of his
Office upon the recommendation OF members Of
! Congress.
The debate on the Civil Service feature OF the bill
was opened by Mr. Bailey He defended the spoils
system. attacked ex-President Roosevelt one who
professed himself Civil Service reformer, but re-
peatedly violated the Civil Service law to put his
friends in office, and referred with scOrn to that
part Of Mr. Roosevelts message vetoing the census
bill which former President mentioned the
professional politicians who were seeking jobs Jor
their supporters.
Then the Texas Senator discussed the rumOr that
President Taft would veto the census bill unless
il conformed TO the Civil Service Commission $
requirements Mr. Bailey made compli-
mentary references to the ability and character
OF President Taft but said he viewed with alarm
the report that the President trying to coerce

In reply Senator Lodge said he had learned by
twenty years experience hear with patience
arguments like that of the Texas Senator against
Civil Service reform He admitted the Civil Service
methods had not reached perfection, but said they
were much better than the old patronage system.
They meant, he said. better clerks and the spend
ing of less government money and saved Senators
and Representatives from disagreeabe duties
I have earthly authority to speak for The
President" Mr.. Lodge continued. But DO not
believe he would threaten this bill until
it was before him. 1t is not possible, however,
overlook what he has said and done with regard
the Civil Service. He established in the Philip
pines a Civil Service that much more rigid
than have here"
In a short speech bubbling with good nature Sen
ator Depew defended Civil Service reform. He re-
ferred TO the days when patronage ruled appoint
