HEALTH AND SANITATION.

Prof. Norton of Yale, has recently
called attention to the delinquency or
our government state and national, in
the general failure to enact any COM
prehensive measures for the protec-
tion of the health of the people.
He shows that 100000 persons will
die in the United States within the
next twelve months; that 100000 will
be constantly i'll, and that over 5,OOO,-
900 homes, consisting of 25,OOO,OOO per-
sons, will be made more or less
wretched by mortality and morb1d1ty.
We look with horror" he remarks, ION
the black plague of the middle ages.
The black waste was but passing
cloud compared with the white waste
visitation. Of the people living today
over eight million will die Of tuber-
culosis, and the federal government
does not raise hand to help them"
He shows that while the Department
of Agriculture spends seven million
dollars on plant health and animal
health every year, yet with the ex-
ception of the work done by Drs.
Wiley, Atwater, and Benedict, the
American Congress does not directly
appropriate one cent for promoting
the physical well-being of babies. 1t
is indeed singular that thousands have
been expended in stamping out cholera
among swine, while not one dollar has
ever been voted for eradicating pneu-
monia among human beings. He calls
attention to the fact that although
hundreds of thousands are consumed
in saving the lives of elm trees from
the attacks of beetles; in warning
farmers against blights affecting pota-
to plants; in importing Sicilian bugs
to fertilize fig blossoms in California;
in ostracizing various species of weeds
from the ranks of useful plants and In
discriminating parasite growths that
prey on fruit trees; in fact that the
Department of Agriculture has expend-
ed during the last ten years over forty
six millions of dollars on these worthy
projects: nevertheless mot wheel or
the official machinery at Washington
was ever set in motion for the allevia-
ton or cure of diseases Of the heart
or kidneys, which will carry off over
six millions of our population" He
estimates that eight million will perish
of pneumonia, and points out that the
entire event is accepted by the Ameri-
can people with a resignation equal

EQUAL RIGHTS

I cannot help but feel that woman's
suffrage, or equal rights as prefer
to call it, will work wonders for women
all over the country and especially the
women on the farms. When the hus-
band has to let ''the woman" ride to
town on the wagon with him, and
she casts her vote along with him, am
sure he will get his eyes opened. Ii
the wife has never dared to say her
life is her own, at least now she can
say her vote is her own. No matter If
it does tell her before she gets there
just how to vote, once past the railing
at the polls she can cast her vote as
she pleases and no man can be the
wiser. So much for equal rights and
the secret ballot.
So let us not make great fuss a.
bout it for fear we won't get it, but let
us be sure and have equal rights. 1t
will be our chance to help elect good
mayor, a good city council and good
school committe-MRS. F. P. QUICK.
Goth Century Farmer. (The above
view of Woman Suffrage may have
equal application in Washington as in
Nebraska.)

HON e..

Let home stand before all other
things No matter how high your
ambition may transcend it's duties, no
matter how far your talents or your
influence may reach beyond it's doors,
before everything else build true
home! Be not it's slave, be it's mistress!
Let it not be enough that it is swept
and garnished, that it's silver is bril-
liant, that it's food it delicious, but
feed the love in it, feed thought and
aspiration, feed all charity and gentle
ness in it, Then from it's walls shall
come forth the true woman and the
true man, who shall together rule and
bless the land? Is this an over
wrought picture? We think not. What
honor can be greater than to found
such a home? What dignity higher
than to reign it's undisputed mistress?
What is the ability to speak from a
public platform to large, intelligent
audiences, or the wisdom that may
command a seat on the judges bench
compared to that which can insure and
preside over a true home, that hus-
band and children rise up and call
her blessed?" To be the guiding star,
the ruling spirit in such a position is
higher honor than to rule an empire.

A PRAYER.


Lord God thou lettest the green things
start
Anew life every year;
Out of their Sunken selves they rise
Erect and sweet and clear.
Behold the lilies pure white leaves
Unfolding by each mere.
Again the sap mounts in the fir
Thro' every swelling vein;
Again the clover stirs and thrills,
Responsive to the rain:
Again the tender grass makes green
The lone breast of the plain.
Hear the new golden flood Of song
The lark pours to the blue!
Behold the strong, undaunted shoot
Pushing it's brave front through
The fallen tree! Lord God, Lord God,
Let me begin anew !
Out of my own self let me rise!
For God, if it can be
A new and noble growth may spring
From yon decaying tree,
Surely a strong, pure life may amount
Out of this life Of me.

the wonderful invention of Thomas A.
Edison, an instrument planned and
perfected for the sole purpose of so
multiplying the songs of great singers,
the music of famous bands and the jokes
and stories of great entertainers, that
everybody may enjoy what otherwise
would be the pleasure of the few.

Consider the attraction such an in
strument would mean in your home,
bringing it in touch with all that is pop
ular and best in music and songs.
How could your hours of rest be
better and more pro6tably spent than
by listening to song by prima donna
or music comedy favorite, rousing
march by band of distinction or
monologue by man who has made the
whole country laugh?
There is probably an Edison dealer
in the town or city near you who has
the new Edison Photographs and all
the latest Records. Ask to hear them.

Minnesota Needs Roads.
rom the st. Paul Dispa tch.


Minnesota wants good roads, but has
not yet learned how very much she
wants them and has not realized what
they mean to her development and ma
terial welfare. A beginning has beer
made and the first rudimentary lessons
lined out. but We have reached only the
point where there is no division of senti-
ment upon the general question. We
have at least learned that good roads
are for the farmer. for the small town
and for the city, and there is a disap-
pearance of the view that behind the
movement stands the automobilist: 1t is
beginning to dawn upon our people that
good roads mean, in the broad sense
the unification of all of our people and
the obiteration Of all sectionalism by
the one best method in our hands; that
down at the bottom they mean more to
Minnesota and it's interests than can be
EXPRESSED i'm almost any other subject
Once this view has taken full hold, Min
nesota will enter upon a matchmaking
campaign that will inaugurate new
and its best era Of prosperity.

Kern and the Brewers.

II will be remembered that John w Kern
took his defeat for senator very much to
heart. He accused the brewers and
threatened to go into details.
The threat caused stir. Everybody
was aware that the brewers and distillers
and saloonkeepers had worked industri-
ously for democratic success in Indiana
last year, and 1t seemed altogether likely
that having assisted In electing a legis-
lature they had put finger in the sena-
torial pie. Did Mr.. Kern know the whole
story? And would his revelations mar
the prestige of Mr.. Shively?
Time passed, but no further word from
Mr.. Kern. Had he been advised to drop
the subject? Had he been reminded that
while their efforts were not as successful
in behalf of the national as in that of the
state ticket. the brewers and distillers and
saloonkeepers of Indiana had worked very
the republican majority in the state from
a large figure down to a beggarly ten
thousand? Would he not appear un-
grateful If because he had failed for the
Senate he should now make war on in
terests that had supported him for Vice
President?

Act on the Branch Library Bill.

Before Congress adjourns on the 4th of
March IL should accept or reject the
offer of Mr.. Andrew Carnegie to pro
vide funds for the erection of a branch
OF the Public Library at Takoma Park
To permit the matter to remain in it's
present situation will be discreditable to
