In a recent Senate document
ISSUED by Senator Owen, of Okla.
homa, on the subject Of the con-
servation of human life, he states
lthat the nation is permitting a
needless loss of 1900, 900 lives an
! nually and the incapacitating of
100000 persons. BY loss of
health and lives, it is declared, a
financial loss to the nation of
US, 100000 900 a year is caused.
For the greater part of this loss
acute diseases are responsible;
chronic diseases are to blame for
the greater part of the loss of
life, and these are said to be in
creasing steadily. In addition to
this industrial injuries, most of
them the result of preventable
accidents, are exacting a heavy
annual toll. The document
abounds in startling statements.
DR.. Charles Wardell Stiles, of the
United States Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service, is quoted
as saying that the United States
seven times dirtier than Ger
many and ten times more
uncle an than Switzerland,
and that the lack of interest
in preventing measures against
disease is slaughtering the human
race. The document admits great
in the mortality Of in
through improved milk and
water supplies. 1t is declared that
the present rate is still enormous.
Owen believes that the
100000 constant sick beds could
be reduced from one-fourth to
.ne-half by proper preventive
measures.

John N. CaIlahan's Story,

John M. Callahan told a story of q
friend who had been asked to make a
short address on the tariff in Manito-
woo.

his speech, and he slowly unfolded the
intricacies Of the wool schedule, the
steel rate and a few others, never no.
ticing the time At 1880 he hesitated
for few moments, and said:
"I have made my remarks rather
short, and perhaps some of you do not
fully understand this important sub
ject and wish to ask me a few ques.
tions. will be glad to answer any
thing you may ask me-
For some minutes none spoke, and
again he asked for questions. Final

hall arose.

Little Margery Sessoms's eyes were
more pink than blue as she dabbed
them petulantly with a very moist
