A Police Problem.

The request of the police board that
the council authorize an additional ap-
preparation to make possible a tempo
rary increase of the police force calls
attention to one serious feature of our
police problem due to the limited funds
available for police purposes.
The last legislature, without increas-
ing the immediate of the po-
lice department, raised the pay of the
officers so as to take up in salaries for
the existing force all the money in the
police fund and even more. AS a con-
sequence, in order to avoid the other
wise imperative necessity of a reduc-
tion of the force, the police we're COM
PEELED to agree to forego the salary
increase until next year. and even next
year the police fund will have no sur
plus for increasing the force after the
increase in pay of the present members
is provided for. The question, there
fore, becomes a very practical one of
taking are of temporary emergencies
by temporary measures.
1t is not so much the regulation of
street traffic to prevent automobile
accidents that is most urgent, although
that is by no means to be overlooked
but the general policing of the city
and particularly Of the downtown dis
trict, during the next two or three
months. when Omaha win be entertain

on far horizons softly lean
The hills against the coming night
And mantled with a russell green
The orchards gather into sight,;
As through the apples. high and low,
In rudy colors deeply spread
From core to rind, the sun melts slow,
With gold upcaught across the red.
And here and there, with signs and calls,
Among the hills an echo rings,
Remotely as the water falls
And down the meadow softly sings.
A wind goes by; the air is stirred
With secret whispers far and near;
Another token-tust a word
Had made the roses meaning clear.
/ see the fields; I catch the scent
OF odors from the fresh split wood,
Where bearded moss and stains are blenN
With autumn rains, and all is good.
An air arising turns and lifts
The fallen leaves where they had lain
Beneath the trees. then weakly shifts
And slowly settles back again.
While with far shouts. now homeward
bound.
Across the fields the reapers go.
And with the darkness closing round.
The lilies of the twilight blow.

Care of

Officials who are in touch with
health records agree hat the duration
of human life in this country has been
notably extended within the last
twenty years. Some assign as the main
u the better care Of infants. Others
mention the more wholesome food, the
dryer atmosphere, the freer circulation
of air In houses and the discoveries
of medical science. Some of the au-
thorities say that the incomparably
better care of persons threatened with
phthisis has operated TO distinctly pro-
long the average duration of human
life and very much prolong the AVER
age period of useful activity. DR.. Will
liams, physician to the king Of Eng
land, has just published a lecture in
which he treats the proper system of
caring for tuberculous persons, from
the standpoint of guarding against
danger and at the same time not vex-
ing and harassing the unfnrtunates
by cutting them off from other human
beings and reducing them to the con-
dit1on of the leper of old.
He says that there are many young
men and women In the incipient stages
Of the disease who carry with them no
danger, who can efficiently perform
the usual occupations of life with safety
to all concerned, especially IL they
have been in a s%anitarium and under
stand the rules of hygienic life. 1t
would mean cruel misfortune to them
If they we're driven from making a liv-
ing or from homes where they are use
full, harmless n comfortable.
From the lecture of DR.. Williams it
is to be inferred that the marriage of
a t~uberculous person ought to be dis
couraged, though all infection can be
avoided by thorough execution of the
we'll known precautionary measures.
Contrary to the current belief. in
halation by the air passages is not the
most common cause OF infection. The
lesson which must be taught, not only
In s~anatoriums, but in all homes. is
the curative and preventive value of
"a
sunlight, freely moving pure air, steril-
ization of sputum, good digestion and
nutritious food. As a coldly scientific
proposition, assuming as trained men
do that nearly all consumption is cur
able, ignorance or carelessness of sim
pie rules costs millions Of dollars a
year to the public in every state. As
this public loss, added to private dis
tress, is learned more positively bv the
masses OF people, the problem on which
DIR. Williams dwells, the care of per-
sons known to be tuberculous, will he

healthy and yet not inflict unnecessary
h%ardships on the diseased involves DIFF.

knowledge has been a blessing in the
case of consumption, but It has in
creased the proportion of the problem
for public regulation and private pre-

people-young, middle aged and
old-are suffering from some
one or more of the symptoms produced
by some stage of the malady known
as '~flat-foOt," or br~oken-dOwn arch, as
il is frequently called.
The early stages of "~flat-f0ot" are
usually the most painful. At this time
very little. If any deformity or change
of the foot's outline can be observed,
consequently the pains are attributed
to other csuses-frequently to rheuma-
tism. The Theumatic-like pains NAV
be in the feet. calves of legs, knees,
hips, back. and sometimes there is a
dull pain in the back Of the neck.
Other symptoms are swollen, painful
toes, enlarged great toe joints, pain in
the heel, buniOnG, cramps in the feet,
toes drawn up DR. down. weak ankles
and a generally "used-up" feeling at
the end OF the day.

II we count the era OF North Polar
exploration from Henrik Hudson, in
1907, there have been four centuries
Of continuous search for the "end of
the world or the pole. Until well
into the nineteenth century nearly all
the exploring was done for commercial
reasons by sailors or fishermen. The
world became deeply concerned in the
search for Sir John Franklin, and aft
erward in fixing certain scientific
facts.
John Ross, in 1918, and William
Parry, in 1919, made extensive coast
discoveries. Sir John Franklin set out
in 1S45 with two ships and 129 men.
They wintered at Beechy island. In
September, 1916, his ships were beset
with ice near King William Land. The
only record shows bat the ships were
abandoned in April, 184S, Franklin
and tw~enty-three others having pre-
viously died. The interest of the world
was aroused by the search for Frank
ill., JOun HbbHf daAAt ANOe9s .oNS"o
and Kennedy we're among the early
adventures. Collinson, in 1850, car
ried the exploration further and picked
up some relics of Franklin. BY sledge,
in 1854, Mcclure made the northwest
passage. Lady Franklin sent McClin-
took, in 1859, and found the story of
Franklin's fate. DR.. Kane's American
expedition started in 1858, and re-
turned in 1855. DR.. Hayes, in 1861,
reached Cape Goode. In the Polaris,
1871, DR.. Hall reached the furthest
northern point up to that time and
charted Grinnell Land, beyond the SD
parallel. Hall died, but several of his
men were rescued.
Lieutenant A. w. Greedy, from 1881
to 1888, made many valuable discov-
cries of fertile land and new plants.
De Long sailed in the Jeanette in
1879. With G. w. Melville he explored
the region, but died. Melville re-
turned. hansen made the passage by
the Nova Zembla route in 1888.
Peary's attempts extended from 1885
to 1902, and he is now returning from
his still later effort. Wellman's work
is well known to the public, as are
Amundsen's travels and the sad fate Of
Andre in a balloon. There are bold
mems names in the list Of inquirers
between Sir John Franklin and DR..
Cook, who at last is said to have To-
Gated the pole. The h%ardships have
grown less severe with experience and
modern improvements, but to the last
It has been a history of daring and
suffering, For years past there has
been little or nothing to discover.
Everything had been learned by other
means. The great secret, now barren
of important results, has been solved
and the romanc of Arctic discovery is
at an end.
