The objection is frequently made
by those who contemplate outdoor
sleeping that during the coolest nights
of winter one cannot stay outside
without suffering torture from the cold
winds There are few nights when in
Birmingham such an objection could
be made, but when one is prepared
properly the night may be as pleas
ant outdoors as inside. 1t is necec-
sary to protect the feet from, the cold
first of all. and some prefer hot
brick as retaining the heat longest
An excellent device is the sleeping bag,
made of some heavy material and long
enough to be slipped up beneath the
arms. To protect the head on these
rare nights a knitted hood is kept IN
readiness to be slipped on when need
ed and one veteran porch sleeper
stated that his cot, an iron one, was
fitted over the back and foot with a
strip of oilcloth SO that the air could
not strike the extremities with too
great force. OF course this is only for
such nights as we had during Decem-
Der last year. Ordinarily one needs
only plenty of warm covers and the hot
water bottle or brick for ones feet.
and after Drawing the weather once 1t
will be found to have no terrors. A
visitor last winter from an eastern city
told of his little girl who has been
provided with both sleeping porch and
outdoor playroom. On several occa-
sions, he said he had found a mantle
of snow over the sleeping child which
was well wrapped In covers.
The campaign against tuberculosis
which has been organized under such
happy auspices in Birmingham may be
forwarded with great success by taking
the matter in hand before there is any
sign of the dread disease, just as so many
Birmingham people. are doing. And not
only is the outdoor scheme preventive of
this but of other maladies as well. The
names mentioned today are only few
CLEANED from a great number who have
adopted this simple, sensible custom. 1t
Is true that everyone who wants to sleep
outside hasn't a porch to sleep on, but
while the porch erected for that express
purpose and having all the conveniences
and luxuries to be desired may be out of
the question, thSfe are few who have not
an outdoor platform of some kind that
cannot be used: and for those who are
not even so fortunate as this, cots COW
cred with screening may he placed in the
back yard. After. all the question is air
the one free medicine which all physi-
clans prescribe. If Birmingham people
en- masse will adopt the outdoor plan
Of life, there Is no question but that as
people they will become stronger
physically and mentally, and more ca
pable of meeting the larger issues
which confront one in tho daily strug-
gle for health and happiness.

sleeps In cramped quarters. Those who
sleep inside and permit a strong draught
to strike them even on a very warm night
will frequently contract severe cold.
But the man who sleeps outside and al
lows the wind to blow over, him will
seldom take cold. This, says an au-
thority, is one of the peculiar things about
she human body. A small draught strik-
ing a part of the body will generally
chill it and cause a cold, while an icy
wind striking the body In full will have
nothfnu but good effect upon the sys-
tenn. This Is the principle OF the fad"
One Of the strongest followers Of out
door sleeping is Mrs. Edwin Finch. She

other family that has adopted the out

Mrs. M. v. Joseph, who regard this
as one of the luxuries of their home.
Mr.. and Mrs. John NJ Caldwell, whose
residence on Highland avenue was
beautiful before the added improve
ments this year. and is ideal now, have
sleeping porch which is regarded
as one of its most modern and use
full adjuncts. The residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Redmond N. Wheeler on Maple

home. has sleeping porch OF UNUSUAL
dimensions and with the eastern ey-
posture. Another practical advocate 0f
the fresh air plan is Mrs. Jack Bow
ron. Mr.. and Mrs. Bowron are remodel
ing their home and the sleeping porch
has been given especial attention in
their plans.
Mr.. and Mrs. John H. Frye may also
be included among those who regard
a sleeping veranda as one of their ne
cessities. Near them Is the o. J..

combining beauty and utility. Great
trees spread their leafy branches Just

From the Bookman.

Perhaps after all it was not so surpris-
ing. 1t was Theophile Gautier who said
something to the effect that if he thought
that one line of the Masters was bad he
would not acknowledge it to himself if
he were alone at the bottom of a dark
well. On another occasion Gautier spoke
Of Victor Hugo as "a new Moses fresh
from Sinai, charged to deliver the Tablets
Of the Law" Decidedly Victor Hugo
was man who knew how to cast a spell
upon those about him. For example, look
at the following picture drawn in the
Souvenirs sur Turgenieff:
'One evening Hugo's admirers. as
sembled in his drawing room, were COM
peting with one another in the eulogy of
his genius; and the idea was thrown out
that the street in which he lived ought to

proceeded to enumerate the most popular
quarters of Paris, in an ascending scale,
until one man exclaimed with enthusiasm
that it would be an honor for the city
of Paris itself to be renamed after the

the mantelpiece, listened complacently to
these flatterers outbidding each other.
Then, with an air of one engaged in deep
thought, he turned to the young man, and

AS a new phase of the outdoor craze
many people in Birmingham are screen

Law Enforcement.

The expense of the crime Of this
country is said to be sufficient to pay
off the national debt in eight months,
and to sggegate in year considera-
bly, over a billion dollars, or to be
quail in amount to the value of all the
wheat raised and ali the wool raised
and all the coal mined in the United
States for the period Of one year.
There have always been criminals
and it is safe to say there always will
be. Laws and penalties do not de
ter them and never will. Wholesome
laws against breaches of the moral
code, rigidly enforced, may reduce
them to the minimum, but will not
entirely eliminate crime.
We have in this country a legitim
ate(?) criminal education for people,
by inductive method. 1t consists OF
sensational literature in which the
criminal lie the hero; the moving PFC
ture shows, which suggestively incite
TO crime, and the stage on which no
play is complete without the criminal

These are educators in crime for the
reason that human beings are Great

mass of laws coming within the realm

The statute books are loaded with
laws making things wrong, not be
cause they are wrong, but because
the law says they are. 1t is quite
evident that good public policy calls
for the prohibition eff some things not
wrong in themselves, but these things
should be reduced to extreme fewness
1t is hard to convince man he is do

he isn't, and the restrictions of the

J. It. TOLLESON TO HAVE HEAR.
ING FOR CUTTING c. w.
KIESER,

Constable S. P. Santos arrived in
Tonopah yesterday having in Gus
tody j. T. Tolleson, whom he ar
rested at Manhattan the day pre-
vious for an assault on c. w. Kie-
ser with a knife at Athens one day
last week.
Yesterday afternoon Tolleson was
taken before Justice of the Peace
Atkinson for a preliminary hearing
but owing to the absence of all
witnesses to the affray the case
went over till Tuesday of next
week. j. A. Sanders, attorney for
Tolleson, asked that in the mean
time his client be admitted to bail
and the request was granted, the
bond being set at $3.50, with Har-
ry Stimler and w. j. Sinclair as
sureties. Subpoenas were issued
for Kieser, the injured man, and
several witnesses.
When last heard from Kieser
was at Nina receiving medical at
tention for his wounds, which are
not regarded as serious, though

Lesson stated that the trouble be-
tween him and Kieser occurred at
Athens in saloon in which Tolle-
son was assisting in attending bar.
A fight was in progress between
some of the frequenters of the
place and Tolleson, stepping from
behind the bar, tried to stop it. He
had no more than interfered when
Kieser jumped at him and struck
him two heavy blows in the face
The latter blow dazed him and as
he was coming to Kieser rushed at
him again and as he did so Tolle-
son drew his pocket knife and
slashed him.

pah and has valuable mining inter.
ests. He has many friends and has

WILL CALL ON
TONOPAH FOR
WATER SUPPLY
PIPE LINE LIKELY TO BE RUN
FROM RYE PATCH TO
GOLDFIELD.

There is persistent story go
ing the rounds, and it is given a
considerable degree of credence,
that sooner or later Goldfield will
have to come to Tonopah for the
water necessary to run its mills.
Fer long time past it has been
an open secret that Ida springs,
the source from which Goldfield
has been getting its water. have been
rapidly decreasing in their flow.
These springs. which are owned by
the Goldfield Consolidated Water
company have also been furnishing
the water which supplies the gold
camps mills, but during the past
few months the supply has been In
adequate, necessitaling on num-
Der of occasions the hanging up of
several batteries of the CONSOLIDATE
ed company's big mill.
This proceeding has become more
or less displeasing to the big com
pany, as it means curtailment of
production, and that is not alto
gether to their liking, so a short
time ago, it is stated, they entered
into negotiations with the Tonopah
United Water company to furnish
them with the water needed. and
the negotiations have gone so fal
that it is more than likely that
work will soon begin on the bitches
that will carry the pipe line from
Rye Patch to Goldfield.
Should this proposition matrialize
and it now seems probable that il
will, it will mean that several hun.
dred men will be given employ.

Mine PRODUCTION LAST
MONTH ABOVE AVERAGE
Estimated That Over $4,000 Tons of
Ore, at a Value of $8SO,OOO, Were
Milled.

Slowly but surely Tonopah is
coming into its own and making
itself felt as one of the greatest
mining camps on earth. For the
year prior TO the last summer the
production of the camp has stood
about the 100000 mark, but the
last three months have shown a de-
cided and rapid improvement over
those figures, and it remained for
July to make a production that
exceeds anything heretofore re-
corded. The figures for that
month, as taken from the books
of the various operating companies,
show that over $4,000 tons of ore
were sent to the mills, and it is
