In making up your list of Christmas
gifts do not forget to include one for
the Kenosha hospital. No amount is
too small to do good and the best evil
dence the board of directors who have
labored early and late for the success
of the institution could have that their
efforts are appreciated by the people
of Kenosha would be multitude of
small donations. The hospital is a
Kenosha institution; it is an under
taking of the people of this city; it
belongs to them. The hospital has done
an immense amount of good in this
city already and its field of usefulness
is about to be greatly extended by the
opening of the new building. It is al
ways a pleasure to give but the pleas
ure of giving is doubled when the
giver is sure he is giving wisely and
no one can make q mistake in sending
remembrance to the hospital. The
Christmas spirit of "Peace on earth.
good will to men, is in the air and
surely no gift is more in accord with
that spirit than one which will make
the way little easier for those Sswho

than they have been in the last few
years but for all that there are many
families who will need help if they are

The streets especially those that have
been paved have been in very slip
perry and dangerous condition for a
week or more and there is little ex-
cuse for the horse owners who have not
had their animals sharp shod in that

numerous in Kenosha and it will be
possible for the agent of the humane

being obliged to haul loaded wagons
when they are hardly able to keep their

IN PRAISE OF HOT WEATHER.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
What II It is hot? Summers supposed
to be hot. And TO a soul properly tenn
pered with philosophy and common sense
such weather as Cleveland has been hav-
ing the last couple Of days Is like FROST
ing on the cake OF summer.
Fear OF sunshine is probably a relic OF
the cave days Now we know that dark
caves are unhygienic and melancholious.
The present generation is slowly acquir-
ing q taste for the sun. Sun worship was
probably the first Of all. religions. and We
seem 10 be swinging back TO it.
For be II known that all health, as well
as all energy, comes from the sun. Sun
shine is the mightiest force for physical
comfort and happiness, II you don't take
too much at once. And If you accustom
yourself to II gradually you can't get too
much. Properly seasoned and tanned, one
can soak up unconscionable quantities OF
sunshine with measureless benefit TO body
and soul.
The mornings the time. After an hour
or two IN the park, on the water, along
a country road or lying at length on ones
own lawn. there need be no fear OF q
climbing Thermometer. The matutinal
basking renders one immune, and after
that the hot afternoon sun is not fur
mace fire beating down on throbbine
heads II is merely genial warmth And
the hot Office. after the sunny inoeulatior
seems cool. One can work in serene COM
fort, even though there be no electric fan
Don't run away from the sunshine and
curdle your insfdes with ice water. Thai
policy is idiotic Get used 20 the sun, and
then you can enjoy the summer and dc

Settle It by Arbitration.

Every railroad in the South is affected
by the pending wage controversy which
seeks settlement at washington.
The whole South is, therefore. affected.
Whatever the grievances. surely they
can be settled by arbitration-surely
they should be so settled.
1t is inconceivabie that strike will
be precipitated. The cost OF such strife
would be incalculable. Besides bearing
down heavily upon those directly con-
cerned-the railroads on the one side and
the conductors and trainmen on the
other-it would be injurious to the mate
rial interests Of a great section OF the
country now highly prosperous.
II the situation be as acute as it is
reported. then a conservative. concilia-
tory spirit becomes all the more impor-
tant. It becomes a public duty. A
strike unnecessarily ordered by failure 10
submit to arbitration would inevitably
mean that popular support and approval.
the prerequisite OF success. would be
withheld.
This Is a time for cool heads and
deliberation. Both sides have much al
stake The South has much at stake.
Needless or precipltate action in the
direction OF strike at this time would
be unwise and certainly prove disastrous.

ROOSEVELT AS GOVERNOR.

From the Philsdephia Public Ledger.
So many positive statements about Mr..
Roosevelt are eontradicted the next day
that there never can be any Jack Of in
teresting items about him, We are not
sure Just what is latest from Oyster Bay
about Gov. Hughes or wnetner the colonel
wishes him to run again for governor or
not The probability IS that Hughes
knows his own mind. and knew It when
he accepted the appointment to the Su-
preme Court. II Col. Roosevelt really
thinks that some heroic action is neces-
sary 10 save the State, why should he
not take the nomination himself? He has
an unfinished term as governor still 10
his credit. He was taken away from Al
bany against his viii 20 be put out OF
harms way as Vice President. and this
is the occasion for the whirligig OF time
to bring in its revenges. The appoint
ment OF Hughes TO the Supreme Court is
not to be disturbed. but could Roosevelt
anywhere have such ''corking time as
he might have Just now at Albany"

SEA WEALTH IGNORED.
Prom the Bos,on Glob.

Prom the Boston Globe.
The sea holds a source OF riches which
as yet has not been made to contribute
much TO the national wealth. Men have
tried 10 take gold from the waters. but
they might employ their time more prof
itably in collecting seaweed. California
has been first in the field TO recognize
the value OF this marine product San
Francisco ships annually to China 500, 900
worth. This article is a good winter
food for oxen, sheep. and pigs. In bad
times IN Ireland 1t forms a staple food
for the peasantry of the west coast
Some Of the beneficent preparations IN
use to-day from seaweed are iodine and
bromine, from which We get acid and the
iodldes OF sodium, mercury. potassium,
magnesium, and calcium. From seaWeed
also are extracted coloring matters, a
volatile oil. and its ingredients are used
in photography, as well as In coverings
for TASKS aud in upholstering, and owing
to its salty flavor II is said TO keep away
moths. Being rich in soda, It makes a
strong manure for heavy crops Yet mil

Cures for the White Plague.

Great strides have been made in warn
ing people generally Of the dangers of
tabereulosis. which takes so heavy a toll
from the nation that it has well been
stigmatized as 'the white plague" A
fine campaign Of education has been car
ried on by various organizations which
seek to stay the ravages of consumption,
and undoubtedly. with the spread Of
knowledge and the greater care which
education on the subject will establish,
much may be done TO stop It's progress.
But there is one phase OF the trouble
about which the people seem loath TO be
educated, and that is the so-caued
'cIres" and the fake remedies for con-
sumption. The National Association for
the Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis
estimate that more than SI5OO0.O00 an
nually is expended by sufferers from con-
sumption for fake remedies and at
tractively named preparations which
food the markets.
The Department Of Agriculture says
there are three methods OF appealing 70
the person who imagines himself 10 be
consumptive. First. there is the pro-
prietary medicine to be purchased at
from 10 cents TO S. Then there are the
so-ealled institutes the tuberculosis
professors" and the doctors" who pro-
fess TO be able 10 cure consumption by
some secret and mysterious process.
