Indianapolis. Ind. Nov. 17.-There
is still hope that the state tuberculo-
sis hospital at Rockville may be open
ed when it is COMPLETED next May, even
though the state has not made any
provisions for equipping the place Or
maintaining it after it is equipped.
The legislature OF 1907 appropriated
money with which to erect the hospit
al buildings and get the place ready,
but failed to appropriate anything for
furnishing it or keeping it going after
it is completed.
The legislature OF 1909 made appro-
priations for it's furnishings and equip
ment, but this appropriation is not
available until the first of October
1910. 1t is expected that the hospital
will be completed the first day of May,
and the state board of health and mem
bers of the medical profession have
been much worried because it cannot
be put in to use ct once on it's compile
ton.
Appoint Committee.
At the meeting of the Indiana State
Medical society at Terre Haute short
time ago, the doctors decided to ap-
point a committee to devise means of
opening the hospital. This commit
tee is composed Of DR.. Kimberlin and
DR.. Wishard Of this city, and DR.. Nc
Culloch of Fort Wayne.
One of the plans proposed is to try
to raise $4,000 by popular subscrip-
ton in the state to open the hospital,
but the committee has not yet decid-
ed whether this would be a good plan
Or not 1t is said that offers of large
sums of money have been made to help
swell such a fund if one is started. 1t
is known that one wealthy man in the
state offered to give 5000.
Another plan proposed is for forty
men in the state to give $1,000 cash,
and then have the governor ask the
next legislature to reimburse them. At
any rate. some plan will probably be
worked out by which the hospital will
be opened on It's completion.

a Story That Varies.


There is a story more or less diff
fused of a young bride on her wedding
day playing the game of hide and seek
and concealirg herself in one of those
ancient carved chests Of large size.
After she had got in the lid closed,
ard size found herself unable to raise
it again, for it fastened with a spring,
ard she was shut in. Search was
made for her in every quarter but the
right one, and great perplexity and

Some Of the stories in the "Folklore

founded on fact. And indeed. when
we come down to quite recent times
we find undoubtedly genuine stories
that might have been told of the days
of the caliphs.

A goldsmith Of Jaffa complained
that his house had been robbed and
remarked that the Egyptian occupa-
ton had not brought security.

New York Sun
Foodstuffs constitute the largest and
most important item in personal and
family expenditure. Official statistics
show that out of the necessary expendi-
lures of the average family in this coun-
try practically one-half is paid for food
stuffs. Such families spend three times
as much for food as they do for clothes
and twice as much for food as they do
for rent and fuel. Food is the largest
bill in the family expense book. 1t
would be a safe proposition to offer a
prize to the man who can find in the
new tariff ahy prospect Of a reduction
in cost of living and lower prices for
food and foodstuffs.

In its total effect this new law, so far
as the custom duties are concerned, has
not justified hot extra summer session
of Congress lasting twenty weeks. The
whole business serves to illustrate the
futility of the present way of dealing
with the tariff. The chief value Of the
session lay in that part of the great
Senate debate which set forth the ig-
norance, folly, and favortism, as well
as the recklessness involved in making
tariff schedules by dickers and trades
among the representatives Of private
interests. The tariff in detail is certainly
most monstroEs and iniquitous per-
Torrance. This remark is by no means
meant to attack those who hold sincere
ly to the theory of protection and who
believe that protection can be put into
practice on broad, general grounds. But
the present bill was not made from the
standpoint of protection on broad, gem
eral grounds, nor was it made from the
more obviously legitimate standpoint of
sound taxation and the production of
Government revenue. Nor should this
comment be construed as a criticism Of
the public men who have had part in
enacting the new law 1t is not so in
tended. 1t is meant to be as emphatic
a criticism as words will permit of the
method by which our tariffs are made
1t is an abominable method, a disgrace
to a civilized country. 1t is everybody
fault, From ''The Progress of the
World, in the American Review Of
Reviews for September.

Waukasha Freeman: The reckless
squandering of money by some Office
chasers under the primary system
is being used as means Of discrediting
the law governing elections in this
state but we will wager that the cost
to some candidates under the old caucus
and convention system was just as
great as under the primary election
system. An the difference is that the
money is now spent in a way to be
more apparent and the habit of using
large sums has besides been growing
for years, until it has grown to scan
dalous proportions. 1t is not the pri-
mary system, but the reckless nature
of some Office seekers that is to blame

PAPER FROM C0TT0NSTALKS
Civilization Of H~y-PrOduet 20
revolutions Paper Maxi
ing Industry.

The cotton plant is to help save the for
ests. A company has been organized in
Georgia to manufacture paper from cotton
stalks. A new process, comparatively in
expensive, has been revised. and a byprO-
duct Is TO be used as fertilizer for the
fields on which the cotton is grown. The
company which thus proposes to revolu-
tionlze paper making i'm America deserves
the best wishes for success. II is likely to
reduce the price of paper, to save the
wholesale destruction of trees, and to bring
new prosperity TO the south by utilizing a
product that has hitherto been considered
the mere waste of a great industry.
For years It has been known that a large
percentage of the cotton stalk is pure cell
iulose. but patient experimenting has
been required to devise a method OF treat
ment sufficiently simple and inexpensive
to allow OF its use on a commercial scale.
OF course It still remains TO be demon
strated that the Georgia men can do all
they hope to do.
Each year will supply an immense
amount OF raw material for the cotton
paper mills. once they are established. Now
the stalks are left standing all winter.
and the fields are usually burned over be-
fore the next crop can be started. Reap
ing and baling the stalks. or sending them
to mill in bulk, would require small labor
and outlay. And instead OF diminishing
the supply there would be a constant re-
production of raw material impossible for
the paper manufacturers who must look
ever for new fields from which to get
their wood pulp.-cleveland Plain Dealer

ANOTHER TRADITION SPOILED
Philadelphia Professor SCOTS nj
whisky as n Cure for Rat
tlesnake Rite.

DR.. John Marshall, professor OF chemis-
try and toXicology i'm the University of
Pennsylvania, Tuesday scoffed at the use
of whisky in cases of rattlesnake bite. He
said that all the popular methods of treat
ing for snake poison were ineffective, ex-
cept in so influencing the patients mind
as to ave him from death by fright.
Whisky, permanganate OF potash, and
caustics are the popular remedies for the
poison Of the rattlesnake," said DR.. Mar
shall. but as antidotes they are useless.
It is true that p-ermanganate of potash
will the venom in the wound,
but is does not follow the poison into the
circulation. II II did it would kill OF itself,
because 1t will decompose the blood as we'll
as snake poison. A blood serum is the only
remedy which promises life to the victim
of a rattlesnake. This serum is obtained
by inoculating a horse with snake poison.
II a man takes the serum and a hypoder-
mic syringe with him into the haunts OF
rattlesnakes he rum a good chance OF com
ing out alive. But to dose with whisky,
as is the invarisble practice. is simply to
leave the poison to run its course and
gamble with death"
The professor recommended, when serum
could not be obtained, to cut open the
snake wound and attempt to suck out all
the poison. He said that when this method
was not used or serum was not injected
the patient survived by the poison being
robbed Of It's power OF destruction by the

proved that the human digestion lis able
