Buried bx Snow Slide.

Boone, Jan. 1S.-A snow slide oc-
Cured Sunday night, the second one
which has occurred in that spot and
which did damage while it was about
it. The snow and ice on the east slop-
ing roof of the Northwestern hotel be-
came loosened from the slate and slid
in one unexpected rush upon by
stander and broke off the mail box,
which stood at the corner of the build
ing. The man whose name could not
be learned arose after the onslaught
apparently none the worse for the ex-
perience, altho the mail box could not
stand the shock of the impact.

There is only one soap it's wise to use
for washing clothes in Winter and that is
Fels-Naptha.
Of course you can use others-if you
dom mind hard work, the nauseous steam
from boiling and hot suds, chapped hands
and the danger of catching nasty cold.
If you want to avoid these, use
Fels-Naptha in lukewarm water No boil
ing. No hard rubbing.
Here are directions for washing the
white things:
Wet the white clothes in lukewarm
water, soap we'll with Fels-Naptha, let
stand for about thirty minutes in luke
warm water. Rub lightly, rinse, blue
and hang up to dry.
Other washing just as easy-colored
clothes and hannels and woolens
Your clothes will be cleaner, whittier,
sweeter than if boiled till Doomsday
And think of the comfort and tighten
ing of your work!
All that's necessary is to get cake of
Fels-Naptha and follow directions on the
red and green wrapper.

Taking the Gospel to Them.

Into the stokehole Of an Atlantic liner

were willing TO do for the cause Of
Christ

that they were so busy that they had lit

a full confession. Their association had

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
Red-Ietter Day in Railroad History September Is

One OF the red-letter days in the his
tory OF railways was the opening on
September Is. 1890. OF the Liverpool and
Manchester Railroad In England. There
was unusual ceremony connected with
the event A long list Of distinguished
men were invited 10 participate It was
the first railroad on which the powers
Of the steam locomotive for purposes
Of traction were fully established.
Eight locomotives. all built by Robert
Stephenson. on the model Of the Rock
ct took part in the procession. The
"Northumbrian" took the lead. drawing
a splendid carriage, in which the Duke
of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, and other
distinguished visitors were seated. Each
of the other locomotives drew four car
riages, and the whole OF the twenty-nine
carriages conveyed 600 persons.
They formed eight distinct trains the
first one, with the more distinguished
guests, having one line OF rails to itself.
and the other seven following each other
on the second line. The procession. which
started from Liverpool at II. o'clock, was
an exceedingly brilliant one. with the aid
OF flags, music, &C., and the sides of the
rails were lined with thousands Of en-
thusiastic spectators. The trains went
on past a number of stations TO Park
hurst Here IT was, seventeen miles from
Liverpool. that the trains stopped to en-
able the locomotives to take in water.
and here it was that a deplorable acct
dent occurred. which threw a cloud over
the brilliant scene.
In order to afford the Duke Of yelling
ton the opportunity of seeing the other
parts Of the procession. It was determined
that the seven locomotives, with their
trains, should pass him; his carriage.

Malefactors Come to Grief.

A sugar trust magnate sentenced to
the penitentiary for two years!
Leading officials Of the beef trust at
Chicago placed under Indictment
Thus in items Of current news are we
assured that the law reaches the rich
as well as the poor; that it bears down
upon the powerful no less than upon the
weak. and that influences, usually politi-
cal, once so potent TO save wrongdoers
in high station. is potent no more, even
on the eve Of a great political campaign.
When William Jennings Bryan. on the
hastings, notably ten years ago. shocked
an u.ua-conservative people by talking
about indicting trust maiefaetors and
putting them in stripes, behind the bars,
he was denounced as a wild, dangerous
agitator, engaged in stirring up class
hatred and conducting a crusade that II
successful. meant business demoraliza-
ton and chaos. No more unsparing
critic had he In that day than Theodore
Roosevelt. who fayed him mercilessly In
public speech.
But times have changed. William Jen-

Health Office Activities.

1t IS in no fault-hnding mood, but
with full appreciation OF its zeal ana
general efficiency. that we venture to
suggest that the real usefulness, Of the
District health Office may possibly be
impaired by oyer-actiyitles intended for
the public good
1t is the province OF Health Ohlcer
Woodward and his stan 70 safeguard
the community by every sane precautIon
Of proved worth, OF course. But We can
not bring ourselves 20 the belief that
health is ever conserved or maladies
held in check by unduly alarming the pub
lie over the dangers Of new and strange
disease. or putting unnecessary empha-
sis upon the occasional prevalence OF an
old disease. Instead Of such action being
helpful, It may easily become positively
hurtful-hurtful in every way. The best
health authority is quite sgreed upon
this point II is doubly difficult to com
bat disease when disease is accompanied
by panic or semi-panic.
In the matter Of regulation. also. the
health Office is likely to overdo the thing.
and overdo it sadly.
For example. the compulsory vaccina-
ton Of school children. in the opinion Of
many people. is of doubtful wisdom. II
we do not quite share the view OF the
extremists who see absolutely no virtue.
but real evil in vaccination and would
estOp it altogether, we do believe that the
necessity for vaccinating chndren-in
ordinary times, at least-might safely be
left TO the family physician without the
least danger OF inviting plague
especially in a city so wei kept as WASH
ington.
Now, however. we observe that one OF
our health officials. not content with the
compulsory vaccination law, which oper-
ates to the exclusion from the. public
schools Of clean. healthy children. whose
parents oppose vaccination, is advocat-
ing an extension Of the law to compel
the revaccination Of all school chill
dren every five years There is neither
wisdom nor common sense in this propo-
sition. It is peculiarly ill-timed and OBJ
jectionable, considering the growing con-
viction that the compulsory vaccination
law, as il stands. might be repealed with
perfect safety. And 1t is deplorable. also,
TO note that this proposition has received
unthinking approval in other official
quarters.
With fullest respect for the health Of
fee and our health officers, we venture
10 say that their activities might proper
" be cwbed somewhat-curbed with
profit 70 the community and 10 the con-
servation Of the Districts health.
