Never allow the air in your living
rooms to become stale or foul. II the
weather is too cold to have a window
or two open a little all the time, a
good plan is to open up the house
several times q day for a few minutes
or long enough to blow out all the bad,
foul air and make everything sweet
and clean. 1t viii be found, however,
that by keeping one window open just
little all the time the air may be kept
pure and fresh without increasing the
coal bills and without producing dis
comfort.

Chicago, October 10.
The cat is ont Of the bagi
From the very outset we have con-
tended that the Progressives intended
70 do all in THAR power to disfranchise
the northern Colored people, and that
they were exploiting the candidacy OF
Col. Roosevelt in the interest Of the
Democratic party, but we never
dreamed that they would brag about it.
Col. Chauncey Dewey Talks.
The Hon. Chauneey Dewey, Progress
sive National Committeeman from the
State Of Illinois, Director of the Roose-
welt campaign in the western States,
an intimate friend and personal adviser
of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, has openly
threatened that the Bull Moose party
will join hands with the Democrats and
accomplish the disfranehisement of the
northern Negro He glosted over the
unboly alliance between the Progress
ives and the Democrats, and admitted
that his party was trying to destroy the
grand old party Of Lincoln and Grant.
He used the threat of acknowledgements
to clOut the intelligent Colored voters
of the North into the corral of the Bull
Moosers.
Prominent Negroes Present.
Last week several Colored men Of
local and national prominence gathered
at the Progressive headquarters at the
La Sale Hotel, and were discussing the
political issues in an informal way.
Those present were s. B. Turner, editor
of the Illinois Idea; E. E. Wilson, a
prominent lawyer and former partner
of E. II. Morris; Major John r. Lynch,
U. s. A. (retired), formerly paymaster
in the army; Attorney Beauregard F.
Moseley, an active Roosevelt man and
a candidate for elector on the Pro
gressive ticket, and some few others.
Finally Col. Chauneey Dewey, who is
director Of the headquarters, came in
and took part in the discussion. Re-
marking that the Colored people were
generally fighting shy Of the new party,

A dust-laden air is always dangerous.
Outdoor air, street air that is full of
dust is bad air for any one to breathe.
Even dust that is free from disease
germs is not good for the lungs. In
many kinds of industries the dust is
very harmful to those who are com
PEELED to breathe it. This is partieu-
larly true in such trades as stone cut
ting, metal grinding and polishing,
cigar making, etc, but in most Of
these trades there are protective de-
vices that are required by law to be
used that greatly lessen the dangers
from dust. In the home, however, the
dust may be more dangerous than that
in most work shops and there is no
law compelling the use Of protective
devices Of any kind. The one protec-
ton Is to be found in the intelligence
and care exercised by those who have
the care Of the home.
