pist in one year had 400 appeals for
charity, asking for total Of Sll2,-
100000 OF this only $4,000 was asked
for purposes of preventive medicine
In 1910 the benefactiOns Of the rich
in the United States amounted TO $685.
100000, yet not a single dollar Of this
went to spread the gospel Of pre-

The leading sanitarians Of the cOun-

DDS Of spreading the gospel OF good
health is through agencies already in
existence They place their principal
reliance in the public school system
Of the country 1t is proposed to
arouse the masses through the neces-
sity Of acting on the principle that
IAN ounce Of prevention is worth a
pound Of cure. Universities and
schools are now engaged in studying
teaching and applying the principles
Of preventive medicine and 10 is the
hope Of some Of the advanced thinkers
that a university or sanitary institute
may be founded where men trained
in sanitary work may be given de-
grees and fitted for the task Of pro-
noting the health OF the masses.
There are today 156 medical schools in
the United States and 1t is the aim Of
the sanitarians to have the physicians
of the future educated as wen IN the
science Of preventive medicine as in
that Of curative medicine.

The wife tells the world that he not
only consented, but that he proposed it
to her
And that he took the money OBJ
tained by her sale for his own uses. We
must remember that the man was very

moral degeneracy OF his mind, for any
man possessed Of manly Ideals and

Wrong to Suddenly and Radically
Change the Destiny OF AIOrtaIs.
But all that must be left to the laws
of our land to decide. The one point in
this sad and tragic story strongly i'm
pressed upon my mind is the imperttn-
ence Of human beings who undertake
to suddenly and radically change the
destiny OF mOrtals.
We have no right to take those born
to poverty and loneliness and place
them IN the midst Of luxury and excite
ment,
Our work is to try to better their
condition where they are; to give them
new opportunities to enlarge their
ideas, and to inspire them with courage
to go about the work Of Transforming
their own lives.
Had this little girl been sent to some
neighbOring school; had she been helped
by books and wise letters; had she been
led to think Of the great world beyond,
and Of the opportunities waiting In it
for those who were educated and am
bilious to make a place for themselves;
had her guardian so awakened her
young mind to gradual growth, then
indeed the work OF God would have
been done.
But instead she was Wrenched like
some plant from its garden spot and
suddenly transplanted in foreign soil
And with no careful gardener to train
her tendrils or prepare her for the
fierce sun which was soon to shine
upon her.

Finding Typhoid Germs.
Some tests made last winter with
reference to the pollution OF rivers
with typhoid germs throw an inter
estlng side light upon the patient
methods by which the sauitarians are
getting at the truth about parasitic
diseases. 1t has long been noted tnat
in many cities typhoid epidemics
break out in very cold weather, and
that these epidemics are seVerest
when the water courses are frozen
over. At last sanitary expert de-
cided to ascertain by actual test ex-
actly how long typhoid GERMS can live
In river. He used CellOidin dialysers,
a sort or little bucket, In testing the
SELF publication Of running water He
charged each Of these little buckets
with polluted river water containing
cultures Of typhoid germs which were
"A hours old. There were 1885, 00 600
Of these germs in each bucket The
buckets were put IA water. and at the
end Of "a hours were examined again
1t was found that all but a very
small percentage Of the germs had
died I'm the meantime Later he put
some of the dialysers in running wa
ter covered with Ice. BY these eX-
periments he discovered that the ty-
phoid germ lives six times as long
under ice as in running water From
this it is easy to infer that a city
whose water showed no germs in
warm weather might show billions Of
I them when the river from which the
/ supply came is frozen over.

Hamer Writes a
Letter of Thanks

Supreme Judge-elect Hamer has adj
dressed a letter OF thanks TO the voters,
In which he SAYS;
MY first letter 20 you was before the
primary, my second letter was just before
the election, and now this Is my last
letter TO you, because II is just after the
election. ] am elected. That IL the
climax Of the struggle. / am very thank
full TO everybody for the generous sup
port received hope TO deserve the APP
probation OF ali good people.
my nomination was alrgeiy due to the
activity OF republican friends In all parts
OF the state. although they were ably
assisted by a few democrats who urged
their republican friends to vote for me.
Many OF these democrats were lawyers,
and 1 am proud OF the fact that the lead
ing democratic lawyers of the state gave
me most cordial support on election
day. AS had all my life voted the repub-
llcan ticket, the support mentioned could
only have come from the expression OF
a sturdy belief in my unflinching integrity
as judge.
IAN effort was made to take away
from me the support Of the Methodist
and Presbyterian ministers. IL was partly
successful. but the preachers stampeded
were OF the younger class and they did
not personally know me. The old presld-
ing elders OF the Methodist church, who
knew me. stood by me with mistaken
confidence. 50 also did tho older preach
ers among the Baptists and Presbyte-
rians. lost nothing from other denoml-
nations because OF the attack made by
the antl-saloon people. As 1 had never
been intoxicated in my life. 1 could not
understand this attack unless It came as
part of the plan OF certain democrats to
defeat the republican ticket, or as much
OF II as possible.
"And now ! am going 70 make you all a
good judge; even the oranlxs and fanatics
shall have no Just cause OF complaint.
shall be unfllnchingly fair and just every
whore along tho line and. ably assisted
and directed as l shall be by the learned
and conscientious men already upon the
bench, hope 20 make but few mistakes"

Necessary 90 Remodel ship
that Carries Them.

The McKeen Motor Car company will
ship on Tuesday two motor cars 10 Mel
bourne. Australia, where they will go
into service on the Victorian railroad.
THIS is the first shipment OF ten cars
that have been purchased by the Austria
Ian railroad company. The other eight
win follow at intervals between now and
next spring.
The McKeen cars cost the Australian
road approximately $4,000 each. making
a total Of $4,000 that will come back
10 omaha in payment for Omaha manu-
featured machinery, the output OF one
factory during six months.
From Omaha TO Tacoma the McKeen
motor cars 20 over the Milwaukee road
ara how to handle them has been some
thing Of a problem. but it has been solved
10 the satisfaction OF all concerned. The
cars are seventy feet long-so long that
onn cannot be loaded on fiat car. To
overcome the first obstacle. each motor

fastened together. The two that go from
Omaha next Tuesday are due TO leave
Tacoma January G. They will be placed
aboard the Hendrick Isben Of the Aus
trailan mall line. But how TO make room
for a car seventy feet In length on a
steamship has been another problem.
Even on one Of the largest OF the
steamships there is no space seventy By
twenty feet that is unoccupied, conse-
quently to load two OF the McKeen
motors on the Hcndrick Isben the upper
deck has 10 be entirely rearranged, gang
ways cut out and ratings removed.
Big Problem IL solved.
The loading OF the motor cars has been
worked out by Agent schofleld, the Chi
cago agent Of the steamship company,
who has been In Omaha during the last
week looking after the details.
when the contract for taking the Nc
Keen motor cars TO the Pacific coast
was given to the Milwaukee road, the
local agents here had some doubts about
whether or not the fiat cars would pass
through the tunnels and over the covered
bridges on the Puget Sound line Of this
road. Consequently, measurements had
to be secured. ana when this was done
The deal was quickly closed. and specially
constructed cars ordered for the haul.
