GOOD AIR INSIDE.

Some folks who wonder why they
have such poor health and why they
take cold so readily at the slightest
exposure, may find the cause if they
observe how little fresh air they let
into the home or office.
The department of health of Chicago
has issued a bulletin on this subject
which contains some very pertinent
pointers.
The bulletin says our supply of good
pure air comes from Gods out doors
In the fields and parks, out in the
open, almost anywhere, except in the
very crowded places in our great cities
the air is good
It is indoors, under roofs and inside
walls where human beings are crowd
ed together that the air becomes dirty,
foul and dangerous And because we
do not at once realize the presence of
the bad air in our homes and work
places, and because its i'll effects are
not at once noticeable, most of us who
lead indoor lives are poisoning our
selves every day with dirty air. Es-
pecially is this true now that the cool
weather is here and we are inclined
to keep the windows closed.
Nothing is of more importance than
that we should have plenty of fresh,
pure air indoors. We do not need an
indoor temperature of 10 degrees, al
though most people think that nothing
less will do. As matter of fact 4
temperature of GO degrees is much
better So, If the room be heated to
! 70 degrees, we can well afford to
have the windows open and let in
fresh air enough to bring the tenn
perature down to around 6S degrees,
at which point 1t should be kept.
Another important point as to In
door air is that as a rule, it is too
dry And this, together with its usu-
ally impure condition. causes sickness
and death. The admission of a plenti-
full supply of outdoor air tends to in
crease the amount of moisture in the
room air and makes 1t more healthful
And, finally, do not forget what we
have said before in these columns
that the biggest bedroom ever built is
not big enough for even one person to
sleep in with the windows closed

WALK.

Right here in Springfield there are
hundreds of people sick and thousands
not as well as they could be, and
simply because they do not exercise.
Doctors reap rich harvest from peo-
pie who neglect to exercise.
You do not have to possess horses
and carriages or an automobile to
get fresh air. Just walk. Walk and
expand the chest. Inhale the fresh
air Walking brings every muscle of
the body into action Walking Is bet
ter for you than riding, and much bet
ter than riding in an automobile, be-
cause the air you breathe is not faint
ed with gasoline fumes and dust which
the suction of the tires hurls into the
air. Walking is better for you than
riding because you not only get just
as much air as when you ride, but
you get the exercise.
Springfield's parks and boulevards
ought to be alive With people walking
1t means better health, greater
strength and 1t makes your work cas-
Ter and brings more satisfactory re-
suits. If you are feeling we'll, walk
1t will make you feel better If you
are not well, walk. 1t will do you a
great good. Walking is the best ex-
ercise and 1t costs you absolutely moth
ing, except shoe leather, and that's the
best investment you can make.-Illi-

A SIGNIFICANT FACT.

People who study closely the way the
various wards go on election day will
observe the fact that every Republican
on the ticket carried the First ward,
where the Negro vote is largest Now
We are sure the Negroes are entitled to
consideration and some of the "spoils. =
If 1t had not been for the loyal Negro
vote in the First and Sixth wards, II.
Mesters, c. II. Edmands, Logan Hay
T. e. Lyon, Chas. Byers, c. II. Jenkins
and J. B. Weaver would not have pull
ed through, because it is shown plain
ly and conclusively that the Fifth and
Fourth wards failed to vote the ticket
straight" Now we hope the Negroes
who deserve something will be taken
care of in the proper manner. We
have a city election next spring and
a Republican mayor can and should be
chosen

THE DETHRONEMENT OF
THE TRUTH.

A news note in the Illinois State
Register, commenting on the defeat
of Sheriff Nellis of Cairo for re-elec-
ton, emphasized that Sheriff Nellis
filled the Jail with Negro deputies
when a white mob attempted to take
one negro (Pratt) out and lynch him
for an assault on white woman
Just such things as this news note is
the cause of the Democratic victory
in the East This report is erroneous,
and it was written to cast slur. The
report further stated that the defeat
of Nellis would eliminate the Negro
vote in Cairo. Why SO? Will the de-
feat of Stimson and the other Repub-
lican men eliminate the Negro and
white Republican vote of the East?
But o how narrow and how preju-
diced some people are.
Sheriff Nellis did not I'LL the jail
with negro deputies" any way. He
called on white men to uphold the
laws which they made and they were
too mean or too afraid to do SO; then
the sheriff secured the assistance
from three or four negro deputies. He
did not fill the jail yard, though he
had the right to do so, either with
negroes or somebody else.
The negro Pratt was not In jail for
an attempted assault on anybody. He
was accused of having snached a
purse from a woman. Why not ten
the truth? Why tell falsehood?

DEMOCRATS IN CONTROL OF
NATIONAL. HOUSE.

The 1910 Democratic landslide gives
the minority party once more control
of the House of Representatives by
the large margin of So. The Demo
Gratis also gained several electoral
votes in the Senate. Champ Clark OF
Missouri will probably be elected
Speaker of the House. The fact that
the Democrats will not have control
of the Senate. there is not much like
lihood of the enactment of any dan
gerous legislation. When the Demo
Gratis had both Houses and the presi-
dency in 1892 they precipitated the
country into the worse panic since
1885. Now the thing for the Repub-
licans to do is to let the Democrats
have their way. Let them revise the
tariff downward and let us see why
the bush is not consumed"

MEN OF IDEAS.

Men of ideas are honored above all
others.
The man who can think: that's the
fellow who Is never looking for a job.
Jobs look for him.
The man who has thorough ideas is
the big winner.
This man with ideas Is not necessar-
lily an interesting talker on whatever
subject may pop up in his presence.
He may not know the difference be-
tween a base hit and a drop curve; .
he may not know the difference be-
tween football and croquet mallet
he may not know blessed thing about
carbureters and sparkers: he may not
know that the monoplane is French
nr' the biplane American he may not
know whether Roosevelt is an insur-
may not know that Epictetus. Roman
slave who developed into philosopher
and teacher, ever lived
In fact, 1t is quite likely better for
him If he does not know all these
things-if he wants to know one thing
thoroughly.
And there is no occasion to sheer at
the man who knows only one thing.
When We try to laugh at this kind of
chap, the chances are ten to one that
he will have the last and best laugh
For If man of even rather mediocre
ability starts straight out after one
certain object or idea, he is very apt to
get what he is after
1t Is entirely reasonable that this
should be so. A man who plugs and
plods In one direction, never swerving
never deviating a hairbreadth from
his course, never thinking for even
one minute of anything except the one
plan he has In mind, must win.-Illi-

TRUE REFoRMER s BANK.

It is believed that the True Re
formers Bank of Richmond, Va, will
be revived or resusitated. The sus-
pension of the bank temporarily, or
permanently, as the case may be, will
not be a terror to other negro finan-
cial institutions, as the colored peo-
pie have learned long since that a
bank Is simply a business institution,
and it's success or failure is due to
the kind of management 1t has, just
as any other business. And, too, they
realize that other banks fail monthly,
yet the people do not quit doing bust
ness with them.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders in the Illinois Investment
Company was held at the Enterprise
Bank last Monday evening. Quite a
representative crowd was out.

WORKING AT THE POLLS.

There seems to be an oyer-zealous
tendency by number of men in this
city to be political workers." espe-
cially on election day. They are sim
ply crazy" to work at the polls.
Many of them will stop their work
and go up and beg to be put on as a
worker A worker is supposed to get
so much per diem, and he usually has
a little extra change to buy his friends
a cigar.
We do not think that these places
should be sought by political grafters
or rather we do not think the CRATER
should be employed. This hiring OF
workers" and buying votes is po
litical curse and menace.
If more of these ''grafters" were
ignored and made to take care of their
jobs and their business, the political
situation would be more tolerable.

Madame Labadie was at the Hotel
Baltimore this morning. As she talk

told some Of the false beliefs about the

That's just where the world makes
its mistake, Madame Labadie said
Ibsens works are not morbid, nor are
they set forth as gloomy characterize
tlons solely for the sake Of gloominess
Every drama he wrote was written
with a purpose He had no hope Of
selling them when he began his work
It only was after nc had written and
written that he began to feel desire

said he believed the emancipation Of
the world would come through woman.

DO you know why many persons do
not like Ibsen?" Madame Labadie ask
ed suddenly; do you know why they
put up the excuse that 1t Is gloomy
and morbid? Simply because lbsen
painted life and painted it in colors
that no one could mistake, and per
sons do not like to be reminded too
strongly Of their own faults. AS for
the gloominess, that isn't so. Take,
for instance, the first act of A Dolls

economy Of administration on the en-.

trade, the building up Of home indus
try and the strengthening the conf

form Of ship subsidy to increase Amer.

The tariff board Is not ready to sub
nit report on any Of the schedules

he will not recommend any tariff leg

yenes in December, 1911.
He urges that the tariff board be

He vigorously opposes another general
