DANGER IN THE CUP
Efforts to Abolish the Common
Drinking Vessel.
Illinois Follows Kansas In Legislation
Effecting Use of the Public Cup
A Safety Drinking
Fountain.

Springfield, Ill.-Illinois has fol.
lowed Kansas In legislation to effect
the abolition of the common drinking
cup. Death turks in 1t. tuberculosis,
diphtheria and other deadly diseases
are distributed by it.
There is no question whatever
about these facts, which may be said
briefly to summarize the results of
special investigation recently made
by the board of health of the state of
Kansas.
Kansas led the way in a movement
to do away with the common drinking
glass. Such receptacles, which carry
all sorts of infection from mouth to
mouth, are not to be in future allowed
in railroad trains, railroad stations
and other public places in that state.
Their use in the public schools is no
longer to be permitted. And now ILL
nois has followed with similar regula-
tions. 1t is expected that before long
this movement will become nation
wide.
One might say that the problem is
satisfactorily solved by the paper cups
for individual use which are sold by
slot machines in many public places
nowadays. All one has to do is to
drop a cent into the slot, and out pops
beautifully-made tumbler of paraf-
fine paper, we'll put together and stiff
enough to hold liquid for drinking.
But when one comes to think about it,
one perceives that such cups as these
are Of small practical use for every
day folk; they are a luxury for the
rich. Only the well-to-do can afford
to pay penny for a drink of water.
The problem of the drinking cup in
its relation to health is much more diff
flcult and much more important than
most people imagine. Recent investi-
cations of the subject by the Kansas
state board of health and by many
meteorological experts elsewhere have

Burglar Befrlended Him.

A burglar was arrested for robbins

and the next morning the victim rush

AS soon as he could get his breath to

he had come to see about the pris-

"Glad you came down." was the af-

A change to the right kind Of food

four months ate no other food, and

around in a nervous kind of way, An
ME said quietly to the judge
May l speak to you alone, judge?"
Certainly" replied the lawyer.
He was about to draw her aside
when Capt. Clinton interfered
"One moment" he said grufIly; If
this is all open and above board, as
you say it is, judge-Fd like to ask
the young lady few questions.
Certainly, by all means" said the
judge quickly.
The captain turned and confronted
Annie. Addressing her in his GUS
tomary aggressive manner, he said:
you promised Judge Brewster that
you'd produce the woman who called
at Underwood's apartment the night
of the shooting?" Annie made no
reply, but looked at the lawyer The
captain grinned as he added: "The
witness wants instructions, Judge"
you can be perfectly frank, Mrs
Jeffries," said the lawyer reassuringly.
I'VE have no desire to conceal any
thing from Capt Clinton"
Annie bowed.
Yes" she said slowly; II promised
Judge Brewster that she would come
here tonight"
did she promise to Gomez" growled
the captain.
YES"
well, where is she?" he demanded.
'She hasf't come yet" she replied,
~but she wild, I'm sure-I know she
will"
How did you come to find herY'
demanded the captain suspiciously.
Annie hesitated a moment and
glanced at Mr.. Jeffries. Then she
said hesitatingly:
That II cannot say-now."
Capt. Chnton's massive bulldog jaw
closed with an ominous click.
Decline to answer, eh? What's her
name?"
She remained silent
What's her manner" he repeated
impatiently.
Il cannot tell you," she said firmly.
do YOU know it?" he beloved.
"Yes," she answered quietly.
Know it, but can't say, eh? Hum!"
He folded his arms and glared at
her. Mr.. Jeffries now interfered. Ad-
dressing Annie angrily, he said:
"But you must speak! Do you real
ize that nay sons life is at stalker"
yes, l do" she replied quickly.
I'm glad to see that you are begin
ming to realize 1t, too. But l can't

The judge turned to the police cap

Annie shook her head.

the banker increduously.

and demand instant and complete
investigations"
These words were delivered in the
United States Senate few days ago
by Senator Robert M. LaFollette of
Wisconsin and strangely enough, we
believe, the ideas set forth have a
special significance to the citizens
of Beltrami county, Minnesota But
the senator said more:
81 cannot understand, sir, how
any man fit to be herein short any
man who is innocent-could permit
such charges to be published with
out demanding a searching investi-
cation by the Senate. So long as
live I am going to cherish the belief
and the conviction that he is the
only member of this body who would
not act as soon as he could after
charges had been made against
him."
More than two weeks ago, the
sheriff of Beltrami county was &C.
cused of many serious things. These
charges were not made by an I'M
known, untrustworthy, obscure pri-
vate citizen but by man honored
with the office of a member of the
board of county commissioners and
picked for still further distinction
by being chosen chairman of that
honorable body.
Nor were these charges confined
to the bare assertions made by Chair
man Viggo Peterson. They were
backed, as were the Lormier charges,
with atfidavits by men participating
in the alleged illega transactions.
And yet Sheriff Hazen has shown
no inclination to disprove the
charges made against him and until
he does he is entitled to and will
receive the same contempt that is
being shown Senator Lorimer.

think of it, Senator! A member
OF this body charged with the crime
of bribery by men who claim to have
received the money and their con-
fessions published in the newspapers
and that member contents himself
with a brief, flippant undignified
newspaper interview and otherwise
remains silent. Is there a man. on
this floor other than that senator
against whose honor there could be
raised, against whose right to a
seat on this floor there could be
lodged, an imputation a faction as
strong as that who would not with
all possible speed have fastened here
at any sacrifice in order that he
should be ready to rise in his place

CARRIE NATION.

Not since George Washington was
a boy has there been anyone who
has boosted the Ratchet business
quite as much as did Carrie Nation,
the strong armed slayer of Kansas
saloons, who has gone to join "Sock-
less" Jerry Simpson and other Sun
flower state oddities as a member
of the Choir Invisible. Carrie Ma
ton broke many bars and many
laws but her heart was big and it
beat in unison with her Ratchet in
behalf of the innocent victims of
the liquor curse and while her
methods were strenuous, the
"joints" of Kansas running in open
defiance to the law could only be
COPIED with by someone brave
enough to start things as Carrie did
when she marched up to the maho-
gany counter and began to chop it
to pieces, finding time to take a
few ticks at plate glass mirrors,
sh1mmering glasses and bottles fill
led with illegal liquor. May her
bones rest in peace.

THE PRICE OF CARlESSNESS.

1t is because Minnesota realized
that nearly all the great fire dis
asters are due to carelessness that
reform was brought about in this
state and new system of fire pro-
lection is being enforced. Much
can be done by all citizens in this
work of protecting property, and
that every precautlon should be
taken is shown by such statistics as
these, illustrating the fire losses of
the past few years:
1roquois Theatre, Chicago, Dec. 80,
583 lives lost.
Town Hall, Boyertown, Pa, Jan
uary 10, 1908, 200.
Primary School Building, Collin
wood, Ohio, March 4, 1908, 100.
Tenant Factory Building, Newark,
N. j., November 26, 1910, %.
shirtwaist Factory, Asch Building,
New York City, March rs, 1911 145.
Each one Of these notable fire
tragedies are due to Individual or
municipal carelessness. The factory
fire at Newark, N. J. when 20 girls
were killed and so were seriously
injured was due solely to gross
carelessness in the handling of gaso-
line.
The shirt waist factory in New
York in March, where nearly $50
were killed, was due to a match or
cigaret carelessly thrown in the mas
ses Of cotton clippings which cover
ed the floor.
These conspicuous disasters served
to call attention to the fact that a
majority Of all fires are equally due
to carelessness of one form or
another and costs the United States
234,000,O00 a year.
1t is time that something was done
to stop the alarming waste and
Bemidji can do her share if she will
