Its a pity that SO much extra
work accompanies the beautiful
spring days. We could enjoy them
better if we had more time, and if
the spring sewing, house cleaning,
gardening, setting hens and hatch
ing chickens were not all needing
attention at once.

If you feel ali run down and de-
spondent, if you are not sleeping
well, if you feel as if life was real
burden and that you must consult
doctor, just think it over Per-
haps all you need is to raise your
bedroom window at night. Fresh
air will do you more good than all
the medicine in the drugstores.

1t was reported this week that
tree in Camden Cemetery had been
blown down. The tree grew up by
grave, and bones can be seen en-

the larger ones would do inestima-

striking drew the attention of the
dog, and as the horse leaped for

the next moment the dog was whirl-
ed around by the hindmost wheel
of the buggy and it ran on the way
it's head was turned after gaining
it's equilibrium.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-The entire west
froms the great lakes 10 the region
Just east of the Pacific slope is in
the grip OF the most severe weather
of the winter. In many places low
temperature records OF the last four
or Ave years have been broken.
Suffering in this city was intense
last night. The city and county
agents and charity organizations were
ALMOST helpless before the extraofdi
nary demand for fuel, food or shelter
Chicago's army of 10000 jobless
workingmen and their families suf-
fered keenly. At the municipal lodg-
ing house, $50 men were given shell
ter for the night Not another per-
son could be crowded onto the floors
of the building. Hundreds were sent
under escort of police to various sta
ton houses to be kept warm. All
were given breakfast today.
Early in the evening the govern
ment thermometer registered one
above zero. BY 10 o'clock, the mer-
curry had dropped to FIVE degrees be-
low. At a. m. today, IL was eight
below. Scores of men who were
forced 10 brave the icy blasts during
the night suffered frozen fingers or
feet and all police stations report
numerous cases today. The indica-
tions are for increasingly cold wealth
er.
Two small fires during the night
caused. the f1remen and police no end
of suffering and drove 20 families out
OF their apartments. These people
were almost frozen before the police
could find s'(ilter for them. AT a
blaze that destroyed the Halsted-st.
Mill Co.'S plant. firemen who held the
nozzIes had to be chopped from the
pavement with axes. The men were
literally encased in ice.
Reports from the west today say
that billiards have been raging on
the plains for several days. Railroads
are tied up and snow plows are unable
10 cut path through the drifts. Some
branch lines have been abandoned
and people I'm Kansas and Nebraska
are clamoring that state officials
force tho railroads to provide them
With trains. SO that provisions be
secured
John Jackson so, was reported by
the police to have died of exposure
last night. He was found dead in q
cellar into which he had .crawled tc
escape the cold.

had gone up from the very men who
later found that Daylight had fully
protected their interests. 1t was these
facts. coming slowly to light. that
gave rise to the widely repeated
charge that Daylight had gone in

among business men that no sane
man could possibly behave In such
fashion. On the other hand. neither
