IT is interesting to note that not all
OF the cases tried before The compis
sion were with the railroad companies.
The work of the commission is directed
mainly to two Important purposes. The
first OF these Is the establishment and
maintenance OF reasonable and just
transportation facilities. rates, c!assifi-
cations. regulations and practices, and
the second Is the safety OF employees
passengers and property. In this Work
IL is natural that the railroads should

The M. O.G. Road.
A Few More Chapters, Of a
Very Interesting Story.

Work on the grading is going
merrily on. Work began at a
point one mile south of Miami
and will be pushed to Fairland
as fast as possible. While some
bridge work is being done the
grading gang will make the
grade from a point one mile south
of Miami north to the Kansas
state line. A big force of men is
at work, and rush is the word
from now on. Mr.. Kenefck has
promised to break some records
in fast construction work.
It is confidently expected that
trains will run into Pittsburg by
the first day of November, and
perhaps much earlier than that.
VIM. Kenefck, president OF
the M. o. G. road, is in Paris on
matters connected with the build
ing of the road. He sailed about
two weeks ago, but will be back
on the job in this country in a
few dava.

wealth hitherto undreamed Of.
The third element Of the econ
omic phase is the Hygiene of the
rural home.
In human economy, health ranks
first in Importance; it is condi-
toned, largely, on cleanliness,
and cleanliness is the result of
intelligent management and etern-
al vigilance.
Air, water and food are the
prime conditions upon which
health depends. theoretically
nearly everyone recognizes the
Importance Of pure air and sun
shine as essential in maintaining
health. but in many homes, and
schoolhouses, not all in the coun-
try districts, ventilation is far
from ideal and apparently not on
anybody's mind. lit is not an I'M
usual experience to find "shed'
sleeping rooms without windows,
or bedrooms where the windows
are nailed tight, or unavaible for
use because Of furniture placed
against them, or made to do SER
vice as an armoire. or rack, for
the clothes Of the inmates Of the
home. Out-of-door life during
the day may counteract the ef-
feet of breathing impure air at
night, but it is physically "a crime
to force nature each day to repair
injury done during the long per-
iod Of the sleeping hours. Sleep
does something more than "knit
up the travelled sleeve Of care !"
it is the "great restorer But to
gain the fall benefit Of nature

room must be flooded with pure

will show the fallacy Of the rea-
soning.
The water supply in rural re-
gions demands extreme care.
Small streams, springs, and wells
are liable to dangerous contami-
nation. 1t goes without saying
that water of streams is almost
certain to be polluted either at
the watershed of at some point
along the course. A spring may
be as good as its surroundings. If
situated on the highest point Of
land in the neighborhOod, it,
likely, will yield pure water; yet
it must not be forgotten that the
purity of the water is dependent
on the strata through which it
passes. There may be sipage OF
pollution through the strata in
in places little suspected. To safe
guard the water of spring vie!-

SURROUNDINGS.

Much Of the success and the
failure, much of the good conduct
and the evil; much Of the happl-
ness and the misery Of mems lives
results from their surroundings.
Estimate as fully as we may the
influences Of inherited tendencies
and early training, of personal
desire and power Of resistenance,
Of abilities and deficiencies. Of eff
fort and inaction, still we can new
err afford to forget or depreciate
the great pressure exerted on eve
ry one by the immediate circnm-
stances of his life. The places
where he dwells the work in
which he is engaged, the people
who surround him, the mental and
spiritual atmosphere which he
breathes. are all combining with
other influences to make him
what he is. Thus any system Of
educate n or self-culture that
leaves out this element will work
at a serious disadvantage. -Sel.
