RULES EoR The PUBLIC.

The Chicago health department has
issued a set of suggestions to the pub
lie in an attempt to check the spread
of contagious diseases. Among them
are the following:
Don't belittle the gravity Of sore
throat-call in your physician without
delay.
Don't think that every attack of
vomiting and a breaking out of the
skin is due to overlooking the stomach
follow the same course as above.
Don't let the good women of the
neighborhood diagnose what disease
your child is suffering from.
Don't seek immunity from the OBJ
servance of health regulations.
Don't put the we'll children with the
sick-as in the practice in many ignor.
ant families-so that they may catch
the disease and be over with it. 1t
is dangerous practice, contrary to all
reason and principle, resulting in the
needless sacrifice of many lives and
the pitful Gripping Of many that
survive"
These health hints are applicable
everywhere. They are rules that the
public would do well to follow.

middle alone. My roads are always
dry, and always ready for travel and
need no grading. AS long as we con-
tinue to grade our roads high in the
middle and drain off at the sides We
shall have rutty roads full of water,
unless they are tended to all the time.
But if we will drain in the middle and
let nature do the grading we shall
have smooth and dry roads with but
little effort"
The Cedar Rapids paper hopes that
Senator Allen will continue his ex-
periments, declaring that it is at least
certain that all efforts to keep roads
rounded have been more or less fail
ures. With roads rounded and made
to slope in two ways the washing
causes trouble, where, if the drainage
was toward the center, the center
would receive the benefit of the wash
ing and this drainage would gradually
keep filled what the wheels of veht,
cles has tendency to scoop out. The
fact that drainage in the middle would
necessitate but one string of thing
instead Of two is another feature to
be considered.

THE MISREPRESENTATION OF
A FOREIGN INVASION"

New York American. While club
women east and west are up in arms
over the proposed new tariff on no.
siery, the National Association of Ho-
siery and Underwear Manufacturers Of
America yesterday began determined
fight against what they call the mis-
representations Of foreign invasion %
The idea has been spread broadcast
that if the Payne bill Is adopted by
congress as it stands, 25-cent stock
ings for women will no longer be pos
sible in retail establishments; that
the future price will be So cents.
American manufacturers of stock
ings grow indignant every time this
alleged increase is mentioned. Yester-
day the national association issued
this proclamation, signed by F. w. ST.
mons, Philadelphia stocking maker,
who is president of the national organ
ization:
Hosiery will not be higher In price
to the consumer if the Payne bill be-
comes a law. The future price and
quality are guaranteed. All state
ments to the contrary by importers
and representatives of German manu-
facturers are absolutely false"

THIS OUGHT TO BE POPULAR.

A Danish woman, Frau Wlehe Ber-
eny of Copenhagen, has hit upon plan
which she believes will do more than
woman's suffrage to give the sex the
independence it desires. The Danish
people, 1t is related, are a practical
people. They do not look into the flu
ture and draw from distant dreams
the inspiration for life's daily CON
duct. Indeed, they look at the sky,
and If it looks like rain they hunt up
the rubbers and take the wash in off
the line. Frau Bereny is said to par
take of the practical qualities that
mark her people. She saw the unrest
and agitation pervading the sphere of
womanhood all over the civilized
world, and she sought a solution. Aft
er deep study she came to the conclu-
sion that what women want is not
votes, but husbands.
1t was an easy matter for her to
see that there were not enough hus-
bands to go around. There might be
enough men, but they wouldn't all do
for husbands. So she figured out a
plan whereby a woman could get indie
pendence without getting a husband,

discussing the case with an "Ameri-
can" reporter yesterday he said:
ut Is evident to one intimately ac-
quainted with the details of foreign
trade that the articles printed regard
ing the hosiery tax are inspired by a
coterie of importers. In every instance
the great play has been made that 25-
cent stockings will not longer be on
sale. The women of the country real
ly seem to believe that an additional
duty Of % cents pair, or 20 cents
dozen, will mean an increased retail
price.
''The increased tariff proposed in
the Payne bill means that stockings
which have been imported at $1.70
will in the future cost the retailer
$190. The retail price for $1.90 doz-
en- stockings always has been and al
ways will be 25 cents the pair over
the counter. The importer will lose
a trifie of his profit, but the wearer Of
stockings will not have to spend an
additional cent.
Twenty years experience has dem
onstrated that the foreign manufac-
turer has invariably SO reduced his
cost. or profit, or both, as to meet adj
vances in American tariff. These same
people made the cutlery when the Nc

struction, but their protests were I'M
needed The protective features of
the Mckinley bill gave tremendous
impetus to the manufacture of ho-
siery in this country. The foreign
manufacturer promptly reduced his
prices in his efforts to hold this mar
ket, and competition still lived"

the same under the Wilson and Ding.

THE SPRING CLEANING UP.

Mayor Phillips has issued an appeal
in which the cooperation of all citi-
zens is requested in making the an
nual spring cleaning UP a success.
Property owners and tenants are
asked to clean up their premises and
the alleys in the rear, removing all
tin cans, bottles, ashes and other rub
bish. Warning is also sounded Of the
provision against throwing rubbish Of
any nature in the alleys and attention
is called to the city ordinance prohib-
iting the throwing of loose papers on
the streets or alleys.
The citizens should give prompt at
tention to these matters brought to
their notice by the mayor. With the
premises once cleaned they should see
to 1t that they are kept cleaned. The
old cans, bottles and other refuse
should be kept in barrels Or some 9TH
er suitable receptacle and hauled
away frequently. What the city should
do is require all property owners to
build an ash pit of brick or other fire.
proof material at the rear of the prem.
Uses where the waste papers might be
burned and the ashes, bottles and cans
stored until the pit is full, and then
the pit should be emptied. 1t is often
a hardship on tenants to strictly en-
force regulations when the means are
not provided to aid in such enforce
ment.
For its part the city should
promptly arrange for the hauling
away of all garbage during the sum
mer months. The public health de
mands that part Of the city's funds
be used for this purpose, even though
reduction in the appropriation fol
other purposes is made necessary. Il

enforced to the letter.

LET NATURE GRADE THE ROADS

Some new ideas in road building are
advanced by Senator Allen of Poca-
hontas county, who has been expert
menting with good roads in his own
way. He is quoted in the Cedar Rap
ids Republican as explaining his meth
cd in the following manner:
Mature never intended roads to be
rounded up, she intended them to be
scooped out" he said. 1.-THE whole
tendency Of travel is to hollow the
road bed and throw the dirt up at the
side. The wheels do that, the horses
hoofs do that. Why then should we
persist in fighting against the tendency
of things and make roads rounding and
rely on drainage at the sides? | have
decided to work with nature and make
my roads hollow with the drainage at
the sides? I have decided to work
with nature and make my roads hol-

TWO DISTINGUISHED BALL FANS

TWO DISTINGUISHED BALL FANS.
Murray for Taft. Yesterday the
president went to the ball game-it
was the first time ever recalled see
ing president Of the United States
at ball game-shared sack of pea
nuts with Vice President Sherman
and enjoyed himself as only healthy
man who knows baseball and likes
baseball can when he mingles with
the fans.
Mr.. Roosevelt was great lover Of
out door sports, but he never went in
for baseball. Roosevelt liked the kind
of sport that he could mix in himself.
He wasn't content to sit in the grand
stand and root for some one else. Mr..
Fairbanks, too, was not noted as a
ball fan. But the new administration
is different. Vice President Sherman
goes to all the games and keeps de-
tailed score of the game, which, by
the way, is the real test of the ball
fan. The man who keeps his score
card up to the minute and then takes
it home to check up with and see If
the official scorer knows his business
is the real ball fan, and Vice President
Sherman is this kind. The president,
too, knows the game like a book and
may be expected to use the pass CIV
en- him on frequent occasions.
Perhaps with such distinguished
patrons the Washington team may get
the habit some day of occasionally
winning a game.

while the committees at Work III
raising the preliminary funds IN .ne
interurban campaign have met VIII
some support from many OF tne ehtei-
nrising citizens, there has not Deen liie
general support and cooperation tha1
such an enterprise should command.
The men who have volunteered "

are giving their time freely 70 the
work. They are laying ASIDE the,i
nriyate business to work for the pup
lie good. The least that can be ask
Cd, Of the citizens who have not beeh
called upon to offer their time and Ia

time of the committees as possible by
being prepared for them when they
call. It should not be necessary loI

sufficient, and if the man is not READY
to make his purchase OF STOCK then,
he should, when he is prepared cal,
up the secretary of the Commerclal
association or look up some memper
of the committee and secure his STOCK.
There is no need here to OWEN
further on the benefits of an lnterur-
ban. That matter has been thoroughly
gone over and Ottumwa has decided
that it wants and will have an interur-
ban. The matter has now progressed
to the point where there should be no
further delay. The remainder OF tha
$4,000 stock in the Interurban Con
struction company should be subscr1b-
ed at once. This sum is necessary for
the making of surveys and the com
pletion Of the preliminary interurban
building plans.
If there is any business man who
has not been seen by the committees
or who was not prepared to make his
purchase of stock when he was seen
he should lose no time in communicat
ing with the committee or with the
Commercial association and securing
his stock. Every business man, every
property owner, every citizen who has
the interests of Ottumwa at heart has
duty to perform In this matter. 1t is
of vital interest to every individual
for in aiding this movement they are
doing more than they could do by any
other means to broaden Ottumwa's
commercial field, increase it's volume
of business, substantially advance its
property values and give Ottumwa ar
impetus that will bring valuable re
