take the volume of business of a GER
tain year and compare the rates with
the estimated volume for a year un-
der the new tariff. but this means next
10 nothing to Senator Cummins. He
believes that the only proper COMPARE
son is the comparison of the individual
schedule and to determine whether the
"a te is right on it and whether it is
made on republican principles it must
be determined whether the tariff will
allow the manufacturer to make an
exorbitant profit before competition is
invited from foreign manufacturer.
1t is along these lines that Senator
Cumnlins believes the new tariff law
Will be judged rather than along the
lines of the average.
! Ottumwa's saloon case has reached
the supreme court in the form of the
brief and argument of the appellants,
/ the temperance people. and the court
4 will again be asked to determine who
| is a voter The question of the mean
| ing of voter" is the only question in
VOWED. The temperance people of OF
tumwa circulated petitions and
claimed to have majority Of the
voters of Ottumwa which would have
closed ali the saloons up.
The case went to court and the court
refused to allow ITO of the names to
count and denied the writ Of tempo
rary injunction but did not dismiss the
action to allow this appeal. The only
thing found against the ITO signers
was that they did not vote at the pre-
ceding general election. 1t was adj
mitted that they had a right to vote at
that general election if they had
wished to. The temperance people who
are seeking to knock out the saloons
claim they should have been allowed
to remain on the petition.

A-E. Kepford, state lecturer of the
state board of control on tuberculosis
says the work of stamping out tuber-
. culosis in this state is progressing
much more rapidly than there was hope
for. He is busy this summer speaking
before the teachers institutes and he
believes that this work in the schools
is the most important in the state. The
teachers are all interested in it and
give the most careful attention. Fur
rhermore the editors Of the state are
printing the literature sent out very
generously. There was not newspaper
TO which the last bulletins were sent
which did not print something of the
matter sent.
This campaign has resulted in peo-
pie all over the state taking up the
matter and interesting themselves in
studying means for preventing tuber-
culosis. The only possible way to stamp
= out the disease ds to educate the people
TO means of treatment and this is being
done rapidly. I had never supposed
the public could SO quickly be gotten
to take hold of matter as they have
this. The work is far from completed
but where there were a few people
sleeping out of doors when we took this
matter up and none at all sleeping out
of doors a few years ago. there are now
thousands of people sleeping out Of
doors.
Sleeping out Of doors has come to be
a fad and it is the most profitable fad
that was ever started in the state OF
Iowa or anywhere else. Right here in
the city Of eds Moines you can walk
out thru the residence section and see
people sleeping out on improvised up
stairs porches and galleries and where
they haven't that they sleep down
stairs or out in the yard on cots, in
tents and out of tents and any way
just to sleep out of doors where they
get fresh air. In the winter time OF
course many Of these people are driver
in because they have no porch OPEN
ing off their bedrooms where they can
protect themselves from the elements
but many thousands sleep out doors
all the year round and the number is
steadily increasing.
at is not going to be long before
houses will never be built that do no,
provide conveniences for sleeping out
Of doors for it is not only a means for
combating tuberculosis but many 9TH
. Ter troubles and the campaign Of educa-
ton is teaching the people that more
4 and more every year. We are more than
. pleased with the progress Of the cam
ipaign and hundreds or lives have 81
. ready been saved thru It but there il
Z much work to. be done yet"
