IRONING KILLS GERMS.
A Ray of Comfort When Your Clothes
 Are Scorched.

To men the flatirou seems thing of evil Its use renders the house uninhabitable one day out of seven; it abstracts womans attention from the all important matters of prepar- ing food
 In conspiracy with starch it renders clothes uncomfortable. turns napkins into slippery boards, and banishes sleep from beds. Civilized man is a slave of the ironing board. and the boiled shirt is the emblem of his deg radiation.
 Now the scientists say that ironing has an important function as an an tiseptic, says Success; that the hot iron is one of our leading germ kill CTS This instrument of torture may have temperature of 266 degrees, and that, they say. is more than enough to satisfy the most fastidious bacillus In places where sterilizing devices are not handy surgical dress ings may be ironed with great advan- tage. and in recent experiment clothing which had been worn by diphtheria patients was completely disinfected by the use of a hot iron.
 Long suffering man will note with relief that the scientists have said nothing in defence of starch. There has been no vindication of the boiled shirt

The eeneficent Results of Arbitration

IL increases ones faith in the prog ress of civilization to note the recent success of the principle of arbitration as applied to labor disputes
 The railway switchmen of Chicago. and of the state of Illinois generally, threatened d strike unless their de- mands were granted. Through arbi- tration the matters in dispute between them and the railway managers were settled, and there will be no strike. The switchmen secured an increase of asked, and some of their demands were rejected entirely by the arbitra- tors. Dissatisfaction has been ex- pressed by both sides with the award of the arbitrators, but the controversy is settled
 The same results have been reached in the arbitration of the differences between the railway managers and the union of locomotive firemen. For aWnlle general Strlke seemed tO De the only outcome in sight for the diff ficulty between the firemen and the managers. Had the strike occurred the effects upon business would have been devastating.
 The public. which usually is one of the chief sufferers from strikes. has reason to be thankful that these con- troversics are settled.
 It would be a happy thing of the Philadelphia strike could be settled by arbitration. Unfortunately. however, the one serious question at issue does not seem to admit of arbitration This is the question of recognizing" the carmens union The rapid transit company, while making no objection to union of its employees. insists that it must operate on the "opcn shop" principle-that is, permit the employment of men who do not choose to join the union. The union. on the other hand, insists that nobody but union men shall be employed.

The Firs. Jew in the British Cabinet

When the London cables reported, a few days ago. that the Maccabean club had held a banquet in honor of Herbert Samuel. hailing him as the first Jew to hold a seat in the British cabinet. it seemed at first glance ob- vious that there had been mistake in the telegraphic transmission Of the news. What about Disraeii? was the question which suggested itself to telegraph editors. Investigation, how ever. showed that the news was cor rect. and that MT. Samuel is in fact the first Jew to hold a place in the cabinet, if the word Jew is to apply only to those who hold the Jewish faith.
 The Maccabean club, it seems. hold that Benjamin Disraeli. Lord Beacons- field, was not a Jew, notwithstanding inc fact that when he became prime minister the world saluted him as distinguished representative of the Jewish race It was at the age of l3 that Disraeli left the Jewish church. His father had quarreled with the eld- CTS of the Spanish synagogue where he worshipped and took his children to the Episcopal church of St. Andrew, London. where they were baptized into the church of England.

"A Rain Worth Millions"

IL has been many years since Ari. zona had d rain which happened to be as valuable in dollars and cents as the storm which visited the territory on Friday.
 Stockmen. after enjoying a five year period of unqualified prosperity, were facing conditions of exceeding gloom. The ranges were dry and de- void of feed, and cattle, particularly. were dying of starvation. This was because of the phenomenally cold win ter through which we have just passed. While there was fair sup ply of rain in the fall and early win ter. the cold and windy months that followed brought disaster by drying the ground to such an extent that mild weather. It began to look as if no relief could be expected until the coming of the summer rainy season. which usually begins in July. Had the drouth continued until July the losses to stockmen would have been enormous and many of them would have been reduced from affluence to bankruptcy.
 But the gloomy picture has faded away. The deserts and mountains will supply abundant feed within week. While the rainfall in the Salt River valley was comparatively light-being about six-tenths of an inch-it was heavy in the higher attitudes, which is just where it was needed. At Je- rome it was more than inches; at Flagstaff it was more than inches. measured in rain and snow; and fol- lowing the mountain ranges south easterly into Graham and Cochise counties to the southern border. the precipitation was "copious to heavy

For tunately, the Galley was already hap oily situated in this respect. Before the rain came the water stored in the Roosevelt reservoir amounted to more than an acre foot for the entire irrigated area of the valley; that is to say. there was enough water on hand to cover each acre more than one foot deep. and this, with the or dinary run of water in the Salt and Verde rivers, would have carried the ranches into the summer rains in ex- cellent shape. But this storm will re- suit in a heavy addition to the quan- tity of water lying in the lake back of the great reservoir dam.
