EFFECTIVE FIGHT
AGAINST CHOLERA
IN PHILIPPINES
Carbolic Acid Put in Wells:
Water Pumped Out and
Distilled Water
Given.

The effectiveness of modern
methods of fighting disease, and, at
the same time, the danger to a
community in which cholera makes
its appearance, were both thor
oughly demonstrated in a recent
case in Cebu, one of the Philippine
Islands.
If prompt measures had not been
taken it is possible that an cpl
demic of cholera would have taken
place among the residents of the
island, numbering over 100000 peo-
pie, and thickly settled.
The last known case of cholera in
Cebu occurred more than a week
prior to November -. On Novem-
Der 13 there were 10 cases report
ed; the succeeding day 43 cases;
the next day "A cases, and the fol-
lowing day 73 cases. The victims
practically all lived in one section
of the city, and the water supply
of this section at once came under
suspicion.
The trouble was soon located in
several wells. Most energetic meas
ures were taken; the water in the
wells of the infected district was
made into per cent solution of
carbolic acid, and this solution was
then pumped out and distributed
over as large section of the
ground in the neighborhood of the
wells as possible.
After this the wells were closed:
the sick were isolated in rapidly
improvised hospitals, public closets
were constructed. and these, as well
as private closets, were regularly
disinfected; a house-to-house in
spection was made: distilled water
distributed. and thorough disinfec-
ton of all houses in the district
carried out. An immediate decline
took place in the number of cases,
until on November 81 the number
has fallen to five cases per day, and
the trouble is now stamped out.

SHORT
.SHAVINCS

There is gentle old man in this
city, an invalid, who can be seen
nearly every afternoon on River
side. He sits in an old wheel chair.
Before him is a tray, and on this
tray are neatly arranged rows of
pencils. In another compartment
are packages of shoe strings. From
the sale of these pieces of lead and
these strips of cloth this man earns
his living.
He has become quite a character
and has a countless number of
friends, who like to stop and chat
with him-about the weather, about
politics Or about the nation. A while
ago the Short Shavings man was
discussing with the subject of
crowds and sales during special
days. He said that his business
isn't nearly as good on days when
there are any big doings" in town.
On those days the crowds are alone
interested in the big event taking
place and care little about buying
things of any sort.
If you happen to notice this gen.
tie old seller of pencils, sample his
wares.
Soft drink shops say they are pre-
pairing for a big summer season
They say the number of soda drink
ers is constantly increasing. Choco-
late, pineapple and strawberry ice
cream sodas and coca cola and root
beer are favorite drinks. A fine
new fountain was installed on Riv-
erside during the past week. Bust
ness on the big thoroughfare is
steadily going eastward.

POISON COCKTAIL OF 8
DRUGS DIDN'T KILL
HIM

WATERBURY,, Conn, Feb. A.
Five kinds of poison, mixed in what
he called a cocktail, failed to kill
George Menges, 25 years old, who
swallowed the combination last
night because his father had dis
owned him. .s
Menges is in the hospital and
will recover. He was cast-off be-
cause his father, Gustavus Menges,
a prosperous plumber, objected to
his engagement. Neither man will
tell who the girl is.
Menges mixed himself a drink
composed Of morphine, cocaine,
calcium sulphide. paris green and
whiskey. The whiskey was just
as much poison as anything else,
the doctors say.
His cries of distress brought res
cuers to his room at August Ander+
sons boarding house.

hard, and while we urged the girl
to be careful, we finally waived
our consent and accepted her in
tention to marry Smith. For the
last 10 days he has been trying
hard to get rid of her, and the final
break came last Friday night, when
meeting the girl down town, he
lodged out of a street car and left

WIVES WASTE WAGES
OF THE HUSBANDS
So a College Professor Says, and
Explains Why Men Resort
to StimuIants.

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-One-fifth of
the husbands salary is wasted by
the average wife through ignor-
ance of what and how to buy when
she goes to the market.
One-fourth of the stipend is spent
for food, and another fourth goes
into other channels of purchases
by the wife-clothing for the fam
lily and furnishings for the home.
These were some of the state
yA6nts made before the marketing
"a is of the School of Domestic
Arts and Sciences by DR.. Harrison
Smalley of the University of Michi-
gan.
DR.. Smalley also presented sta
tistics to show that stimulants in
most cases were taken because of
the lack of the right kind of food.
Proper study by the housekeeper,
he asserted, would reduce intoxica-
ton.
The marketing class is composed
of students assembled to study the
position of woman as the spender
in the household.

Editor The Press-In response to
your very important questions re-
specting the obligations of husband
and wife, will say that marriage is
the oldest and most venerable of
Gods sacred institutions, divinely
appointed in the days of primeval
innocence and happiness.
Gods law regulating marriage
does not obligate the wife to forgive
her husband for the sin of fornica-
ton, even though he be the father
of her children. Gen. 2:24; Matt.
1879.
Neither does it necessitate the
birth of children to cement the mar
rage vow before Gods holy altar.
God may withhold the fruit of the
womb. Gen. 30:1,2. Nothwithstand-
ing, marriage Is marriage, Just the
same. Rom. 7:3.
Men and women are in exactly
the same position concerning for
giveness. Gal. 1928.
The wife should not suffer
wrongs from her husband that he
would not be willing to freely for
give if committed by her. B. D.
Brockman, S02 Jackson avenue.
Editor The Press" Should the
wife forgive everything?" A wife
most decidedly should not forgive
any and every wrong which her hus-
band may commit, even though
there be children. A child or chill
dren forms the strongest bond
known to father and mother, but if
the father commits a wrong which
causes the mother to lose all re-
spect for him he should not be for
given; for without that respect
there can be no home, and to bring
child up in such an atmosphere
Is bound to have decidedly i'll
effect on it's character.
From the standpoint of right and
wrong, men and women are in the
same position regarding forgive
ness. The wife should not forgive
wrongs in her husband which he
would not forgive if committed by
her. c. D. Wentworth, 01223k
Monroe.
Editor The Press-Yes, the wife
must forgive, no matter what the
offense, for many reasons. First
there is the grand but self convict
ing prayer, Forgive us as We for
give those who trespass against
u.s." or the golden rule: do unto
others as we would that they dc
unto u.s. Second, for her own peace
she must forgive; then it is easy to
forget. Third, for the sake of those
dear ones, equally dear to both, for
little eyes are quick to see and lit
tie hearts to feel. The VOW made
before Gods holy altar is for better
or worse. Granted the wife gets
the worst of it, her duty is still
the same.
Second question: Yes, there
should be but one code for man and
woman. What is wrong for her is
equally so for him. Bear and for
bear should be the motto.
A WIFE AND MOTHER.
Editor The Press-Everybody is
open to temptation. Some may
yield, some may never yield. Many
/ have never yielded because favor
able opportunity has never pre-
sented itself. Some of the greatest
characters of the world have
yielded to temptation sometimes in
their lives. which fact may, In a
way, be accountable for their great

There is no crime so great that a
true heart will not forgive. There
is no greater or nobler spirit than

Editor The Press-The wife
should not forgive the husband
should he go away and leave her to
support children, whether it be one
or many, for a woman is never as
capable of making a living as a
man. The children may be his, but
say he were a drpnkard, this is no
reason the child be brought up to
his disgrace. There is mere than
one wrong in the world which the
wife should not forgive.
Men and women are not the same
concerning forgiveness. I should
not forgive, if l were a husband, a
wife were her tendencies down
ward, for her duty is to mold the
character of children. and accord
ingly children would be so nodded.

band, will say 1t is easier, accord
ing to this point of view. You will
agree, I'm sure. Mrs. D., II South

Editor The Press-Shall wife
forgive everything? No, by all
means, no. Human nature is more
or less alike in this respect. A man
cannot love and respect woman
| that does so, any more than a
woman can love and respect a man.
We have too many cases in police
court right now where men abuse
their wives and after the Judge pro-
nounces sentence the wives plead
| for their release. If these wives
! were not so easy to forgive, the
same men would be loyal husbands
in nine cases out of 10. Mrs. J. L.

Close Race Between Givens

The Democratic primary Wednes-
day resulted in the nomination of
Hon. 40. Stanley for a fourth term
in Congress, by a majority almost
equal to the combined votes Of his
opponents, Judge C. c. Givens and
Hon. LaVega Clements.
Running like a well. trained Ken
lucky thoroughbred Stanley was re-
turned winner by a majority that
will go down in the history of this
district as one Of the greatest victo.
ries ever attained.
Political prophets started the even
ing with $500 majority for him,
but each return caused them to in.
crease this until the final totals
showed it to be nearly 5000. The
successful candidate carried with
ease every county of the eight com
prising the district with the excep-
ton of Daviess and Hopkins. The
former county is the home of Mr..
Clements and it rendered him the
compliment of a majority of 358.
Hopkins county is the home of Judge
Givens and he received a majority
of 1872 from it.
Great interest was manifested in
the primaries and vote much larger
than usual was brought out. The
total vote was l6, 1853. By counties
the vote is as follows.

his long record in Congress and ap-

befriended in their fight for better
prices for tobacco, and the business

JUDGE BALDWIN ACCEPTS
Democratic Nomination for Judge
of Circuit Coutr.
Bowling Green, o., Sept. 19, 1910.
Hon. James Hunt,
Chairman, ETC.,

Bowling Green, o., Sept. 13, 1910.
Hon. James Hunt,
Chairman, etc.,
Fremont, Ohio.
My Dear Sir:-The circumstances
attending my nomination for Circuit
Judge by the Democrats of the Sixth
Circuit seem to require some re-
sponse to your notification received
during my absence from home.
1t is an honor to be named for
this responsible position, and one
which is duly appreciated. l accept
the nomination and am grateful for
the confidence which it implies.
The trend of public sentiment
strongly favors non-partisan judi
ciary. Existing laws afford no prac-
tical or fair method of placing judi
cial candidates on the ballot so as to
make capability and fitness the tests
of preferment. Consequently an as
pirant for judgeship must have the
nomination of one of the principal
parties in order to enter the contest
on anything like an even basis. This
condition, however, does not preclude
the voter from making his individual
choice regardless of the Bird at the
Top" Believing that the selection
of judges should depend upon Other
and higher considerations than mere
party fealty; however it may affect
my candidacy, l desire that this
prerogative be freely exercises by al
voters including those of my OWL
political faith.
1t would be gratifying to have the
support of those who believe that
possess the necessary qualification
and fitness for the place. If l fai
to measure up to these requirement.
do not deserve it.
Respectfully yours,
FRANK A. BALDWIN.
