Spring Fever.

Ianguor at this time of year is a
constitutional symptom that is almost
general, and in many respectable
coined, with all the sanctity OF ira
ditional faith. Grandfather and grand
mother used TO feel that way-tired
and weak-and always took a spring
tone, perhaps of birch OF sassfras
tea, or dittsny, or swamp root, or
snake root, or maybe of wine of iron,
or something of even livelier value,
and mcther and father keep it up,
and so must the children. 1t might
be well to keep them from school.
The fact is that an active, busy man
hasn't the time these days for Ian
guild introspection or the leisurely
survey of the state Of his health, the
tabula;ion of the various lenses of his
moods, the fiIctuation OF his pulse.
With the change Cf seasons and tenn
perature there is, OF course, cor
responding alteration In the physical
condition and needs of men and woHl-
en-. 1t is the lazy person who desig-
mates this condition as spring fever "
Its pathological Importance is i'm
mense to the self-centered few who
have nothing else t. think about but
themselves. They dignity their COM
plant into calamity. whereas a sim
pie and reasonable adjustment of diet
and clothing to meet the change OF
weather sufsices any healthy, normal
man. woman or child.
Dean Swift was one of the most
cynical and obnoxious advisers in the
history OF literature, but ne adapted
fer us from the ancient Latin one
memorable sentence full Of spring
wisdom. The best doctors in the
world are Dr. Dief DR.. Quiet and DIT.

ONE COURT ENUMERATOR
MISSED SEVENTY HOUSES
Residents on South Side of Eigh-
teenth Street Not Counted
Through misunderstanding.

Through a misunderstanding as 10
the exact location of the southerly
boundary line of the city, W. z. Kitch-
en-. one of the enumerators appointed
by Judge Robinson, of the Circuit
Court, two months ago to take the
census CT this city, did not enumerate
the inhabitants of some seventy
houses on the south side of Eigh-
teenth street. Ii is estimated that
about 300 people. mostly negroes, oc-
cupy those houses.
Mr. Kitchen was instructed to
enCmerate all persons living in the
First ward between the center line OF
Twenty street and the center
line OF Eighteenth street. He did net
know that the southerly boundary
line of the city extends about 100 feet
beyond the south side OF Eighteenth
street and accordingly did not enum-
crate the persons living in that sec
ton.
The United States census enumera-
tors have counted all of the persons
living in the houses on the southerly
side of Eighteenth street. Those
enumerators will finish up their work
today and make their final returns
to Supervisor w. W. Woodward.
While the figures have not been made
public. there is reason to believe that
the report Ct the government enUm-
orators will show a population of
something like 1000 more people
than was shown by the returns of
