Dear Sir: VIII You please insert
the following in your paper, asa pro-
test from the women OF the w. G. T.
III. OF 0skaloosa. We have read with
amazement OF the crowds of women
who come with gifts Of fruit and
flowers with an EFFORT to see the girl
slayer Junken. We do not pretend to
understand the morbid condition that
actuated them in such course. but
we do know they misrepresent the
women Of our land and country. u is
one thing to minister to the temporal
wants and spiritual needs Of The pris-
.oners, but quite another TO be actual
ed by mere sentimentality thar Is
neither uplifting nor elevating We
consider such course as an insult to
the mother OF the murdered girl, Clara
Rosen. We commend the action upon
the part Of the sheriff and jailer in
not admitting women that call under
such circumstances,

Waterloo Courier The coming of
the fair, warm days of spring finds
many people prepared for them With

manner of maladies. Is it ordained by
the Creator that such times of year
shall find us low in vitality, in need
OF tonic and susceptible to every
kind OF ailment? Is this natural.

existence unquestionably, no.
The winter is the most healthful sea-
son of the year. All germs and filth
out of doors are sealed by ice and
snow. The air We are given to
breathe might have been piped from
paradise if perfection and healthful
exhilerative power are any criterion.
1t lis OF a temperature that compels
the Jingle OF life To house ourselves
away from it and then to bundle up
against it's blast when necessary to
venture out is only to shun the tonic
by which nature would keep us alive
and well. Except for half dozen
days in the whole year It is a silly
and unnatural timidity to shun the
great, life.giving and life loving out
of-doors. And those who have indulg-
ed the natural craving for the free
winter world Will not forego that in
diligence even on the coolest days.
1t has been found that the early
stages of consumption, the disease
which has baffled science and charm
since the world began, can be cured
by constant sleeping in the open air.
Is this not argument enough that we
are abusing the laws of nature every
time we exclude even partially the
oxygen of the natural air from our
sleeping rooms? How much leeway
has nature allowed us that sne has
not exterminated the race for ignoring
her mandates! All she exacts Is a
disagreeable cold. a few cases of Sc
rious illness and a few deaths. And
yet how We complain OF this little
atonement for all our Sinking. Try
