The Want Ad "PIays Its Part" in Human

Look out of your window and watch the peo-
pie who passing.
That man with the anxious face is out OF
works. looking for it; looking for work by
walking around, somewhat aimlessly-as he
might have had to do before there was such
a thing want advertising in the world
The woman in a hurry is on her way to
answer a want ad in person-the other wo-
man is going shopping, and to have a servant
wanted ad printed in tomorrow's paper.
That young fellow answered want ad YES
terday and now has his letter appointing an
interview.
The other young man, hurrying along is
going to take a look at furnished room ad-
vertised in todays paper.
There are people passing who have proper-
ties to sell or rent, and people meeting and
passing them who want to buy or rent inst
such properties. The woman who wants 4
servant and the servant who wants place.
walk along few PAGES apart-an of them.
perhaps, intending to publish want ads
In one hour-if your window looks upon a
busy street-there will have passed in review
before you people with every sort of want,
and other people able and willing to satisfy
every one of these wants.
With little imagination you can picture
the work the want ads should do for these
people-and will do, for some Of them, within
few days.

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-There was every indi-
cation of heaviness in the wheat trade during
the morning. Very many in the local trade
were loking for a natural setback in prices
before another strong turn. The fact thai
Liverpool was weak and lower and the out
side volume Of small business, crippled wire
service in many directions, encouraged the
stration against the market. 1t did not amount
To much, however, as the price stopped al
$11SA. When further weakness was ex-
hibited many of the early sellers were ready
to take back the wheat sold at the decline
Prices recovered quickly to Monday closing
figures for both months. 1t late in the
session before the real strength developed. The
news became a little more bullish. The bull
leaders bought some wheat and shorts were
forced to cover. At the advance three or -four
houses, thought to be acting for a "LaSalle
street. interest, sold well up toward a million
bushels Of May wheat 1t was a market in
which the buyers can well afford to wait for q
good setback.
The continued stormy weather, with promise
of milder temperatures west the next thirty
six hours indicate unfavorable conditions for
moving of corn in the country Numerous re-
ports came in today from Illinois and western
states that the adverse weather had shut of
marketing. The sample market was firm and
higher.
Conditions are right for a further advance in
oats, if the leading markets hold strong.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, Feb 16.-Although there was
an absence of outside business due to serious
wire trouble the market showed about 10 points
advance today Trade conditions in Europe are
not so gloomy as we have been lead to i'm
agine, and dry weather continues in the west
ern part Of the cotton belt, where rains have
been badly needed for some time. The move
ment Of cotton from initial points seems to be
decreasing and liquidation by professional op-
orators has ceased. therefore the market Will
be permitted to follow the natural trend Of
srpplv and demand. Short interest is large,
but it is liable to take fright at any time and
higher prices will follow.

Oil Car Famine

A car famine in the Kern county oil fields is
reported by A. G. Nichols, field manager for a
number of oil companies who returned today
from a trip through that territory. Cars have
been very scarce at McKittrick for a week or
ten days, he says, and it is impossible to get
cars there just now,
This condition is due in some measure to in
creased shipments in response to a heavier de-
mand, and to new business on the Sunset and
Midway lines, but is more largely the result
of disordered traffic conditions resulting from
the floods.
Mr.. Nichols says that quite a number of COM
panies are suffering for water, and that, be-
cause of this scarcity, three leases are being
operated on half time. Water for several
plants is piped from wells about Santa Maria

THE rHoRoUeHsREps
VIII BE One OF the Great Features ~
Coming Blue Grass Fair.

Almost every Kentuckian at one
time or another has seen a running
race, but comparatively few have had
the opportunity to see thoroughbred
stock not In training Within radius
OF twenty miles OF Lexington are
grouped practically all OF the big
thoroughbred nurseries TO be found In
North America. At a number of these
places are horses which have cost their
owners from $4,000 to $4,000. II
seems, therefore. both fitting and
proper that the Blue Grass Fair, which
comes at Lexington the week OF Aug.
9Th TO l4th. should show its recognition
OF the importance OF the thoroughbred
breeding industry 20 Central Kentucky
by Offering attractive premiums for a
show OF thoroughbred breeding stock
This is the only fair in America
which offers such premiums ard. un-
less all signs fail. the greatest show
OF thoroughbred stock ever seen In
the world will be provided for those
who visit the big Blue Grass Fair on
Saturday. August 14th.
Through the generosity OF many OF
the most important OF the thorough
bred nurseries. seasons 20 stations
which stand at fees OF hundreds OF dol
lars have been added to the monetary
premiums TO be given TO the winners
OF the thoroughbred rings. Mr.. August
Belmont has donated a season TO his
100000 horse. Rock Sand, which sea
son is worth in cash 81 1900, and other
breeders have been likewise liberal.
No wonder, then. that the owners
OF thoroughbred stock should desire 10
win these premiums; no wonder that
In some OF the rings to be shown there
should be as many as thirty or forty
entries. The thoroughbred show will
be the climax OF week which will go
down In the annals OF horse shows OF
the world and which VIII attract TO the
Blue Grass Fair grounds thousands OF
people from every section Of America.
Advance promises from the owners
OF the most valuable horses in the
vicinity OF Lexington indicate that the
vast majority OF such horses will be
shown. Men like August Belmont.
James II. Keene, Clarence II. Mackay,
J. b. Haggin, F. r. Hitchcock. r. T.
Wilson, ]. f. Madden and others who
own stock scarcely less valuable, will
give the public the opportunity to see
such horses as can be found in no
other section Of America than at the
big stock farms near Lexington.

IN WASHINGTON


ions still come up and make trouble
in the courts.
Chairman Payne. of the House con-
ferrees. and Mr.. Mccall, are opposed
to the corporation tax. and threaten
to unite with the Democrats in the
conference and defeat II In favor OF
the inheritance tax which they placed
in the House bill last winter at the
request of Mr.. Taft. But Mr.. Aldrich
tells them that the honor of the par
" has now been staked by the Presi-
dent on the corporation tax. 1t Is
likely that they will yield. 1t would
be unfortunate to split the party on
this issue at this time.
Scarcely second In Importance TO
the Presidents declaration that the
tariff bill shall revise downward is
the decision that the Government
shall issue bonds TO pay for the con-
struction OF the Panama Canal Hither-
to the Canal has been paid for out OF
current funds, except for the SO
millions OF the bonds issued during
the 1907 panic. OF course the present
citizens OF the United States. who
have been paying for the Canal, VIII
not have anywhere near as much
use of It as future generations. There
fore 1t Is fair to go into debt for the
Canal and make the future citizens
pay the debt. The House bill authori-
zed the issue OF 40 million Panama
bonds in addition to the As millions
already authorized but unissued. The
Senate decided not to include any
bond issue features In the tariff bill,
and so cut out the House provision,
so that the matter OF finances might
come I'D all at one time next winter.
When the conferrees reached the
question the Treasury was asked to
give its opinion. and advocated pay
ing for the Canal entirely by 3 per
cent bonds. Accordingly there will
be issued from time 10 time, IL the
proposal goes through In the form
which it appears certain 3 per cents
to pay for the Canal to the amount
OF 397 millions including the so mill
lions already in circulation, but not
including 80 millions which will be
issued to pay back to the Treasury
the expenses of the Canal to date.
This impending bond issue is inter-
esting in that Government bonds can
usually be sold at per cent inter-
est instead OF per cent. But the
per cent bonds can be used as a basis
for bank circulation, and the new
bonds viii not be available for this
because the banks already have all
the circulation they will need. The 2
per cents also can be used as COLA
teral for Government deposits, but
the Government is so poor just now
that 1t makes few deposits so that
more material for collateral would
have no value as such. Therefore
the high rate is needed to protect the
2 per cents ana TO attract investors.
II has been the traditional policy OF
the United States not to go into debt
in time OF peace as the European ma
lions do. 1t has been thought that we
are inexhaustibly rich. This bond Is
sue marks a stage In our own
development.

The common contagious diseases, -
measles, mumps, scarlet fever
chicken pox, small pox. diptheria
are all caused by germs and may be
caught by CD" person from another.
Besides these there are others as con-
sumption, typhoid fever, pneumonia
tonsilitis which while not highly con-
tagious may under certain conditions
be given by one person to another.
Now the germs that cause these dis
eases are almost never carried in the
air beyond the limits of the room
where the patient is. II the disease
gets started and becomes an epidemic,
il means that the first case was care
lessIy managed How then shall we
care for a case in order to keep others
from taking the disease? This may
be done by observing the following
precautions:
First, we must keep the sick person
in a room by himself away from every
one else. In this way no one VIII get
to the germs and the germs VIII get
to no one.
Second. we must destroy the germs
that may be on everything leaving
the room.
Third. after the patient has left
the room we must destroy all the
germs left in the room.
First, we never know when person
is taken sick, whether the disease
I. IN he a contagious one or not, so 1t
is always we'll to stay away from a
sick person until we learn what ails
him. unless we can do something de-
finite TO help him. When We have
good reason to believe that the as
ease is contagious-even II we are
not sure-the patient should be put
into a room entirely alone and one
member OF the family detailed 10
care for him. This nurse" must
not mingle with the rest Of the fami-
" hut must either stay all the time
with the patient, or II she comes out
of the room she must never gel
near other members OF the family. All
food and necessities for the patient
must be carried to the patients door
and left there, the nurse taking them
and giving them to the patient. In TINS
vay germs can not get out to other
members OF the family. the family
cannot get in to the germs, and the
disease will not spread.
Second. we must destroy the germs
that may be on everything leaving
the room. The urine and stools OF
the patient shold be mixed with chlor
ide of lime, carbolic acid, or formalin,
and after standing one half hour
buried deep in the back yard far
from any well All dishes should De
washed by themselves and not put
with the family dishes. Handker-
chiefs, sheets, pillow-slips, etc, must
be soaked in carbolic solution and
then boiled.
After the patient has stayed long
enough from the family to be sure
he has entirely recovered he must
take a hot bath Of soap and water,
with a little cartolic acid in It. he
must thoroly wash his hair and then
put on a suit OF clothes that have
been fumlgated and he Is ready 10
go out into the world.
Third, after he has left the room
the bedding should be hung up on
chairs and all cracks stopped up In
the room, even plugging in the flue
