An Enemy to Business.

The proprietor OF a small store in
a Plttsburg suburb has made com
plant to authorities Of the impassa-
bile condition Of the street in front
OF his place OF business. He says
Ehat ne pays mercantile and assess
ment taxes, which entities him to
some consideration in the premises,
and furthermore says he has found
out that the mud holes of the street
have aetuafIy injured his business.
Some of his customers, it seems,
have been buying goods at a store on
the next corner on the opposite side
of the street because they could not
reach his place Of business without
getting muddy.
Why to be sure! OF course bad
streets, and bad roads as well, injure
business. 1t is really funny that
some persons are Just stumbling
upon this ancient but important
fact, still it is gratifying that they
are at last doing SO.
Not only does store or other
place of business suAer injury
because Of a muddy street in front
of 1t, but also does 1t suffer injury
on account of the bad, roads that
lead to those streets. Good streets
and roads bring business and IN
crease Business. There is only one
argument to this question OF roads
and that Is in favor of building good
roads and keeping them good. In
any aspect in which they may be
viewed. in any feature or phase OF
them that may be considered, bad
roads are only injurious.

The Child welfare bureau.

HLHsA HM.. aeHL-
An act creating a Child Welfare
Bureau was recently placed on our
national statute books. This legis-
lation had been earnestly and con-
tinuously advocated for several
years by progressive men and women
and during its tendency in Congress
no reasonable argument was over
advanced against 1T. Certain con
servative statesmen we're shocked
that children were to be treated
like pigs" but they we're silenced
by the retort OF the more eniight-
ened that, as a matter of fact, pigs
we're being better treated by the fed
eral government than children, since
the government has for years
gathered and disseminated informa.
tlon concerning the welfare of pigs,
but tho questions relating to the
life, health and welfare of children
1t has left almost untouched.
The new bureau will be part OF
the Department of Commerce and
Labor. Its duties and functions will
be wholly educational. 1t will make
Investigations, collect information,
classify, digest and publish it, and
furnish 1t on application to state,
municipal and other authorities, as
wen as to private bodies or persons.
1t will study laws and ordinances
bearing on child labor, education,
play, discipline, juvenile courts and
like institutions. and all measures
or proposed measures designed TO
protect, reclaim or BEAUTIFULLY devel-
op childhood. Such studies will in
turn suggest and influence further
legislation.
1T was in the highest degree i'm
portant to give this new and largely
experimental bureau a good start,
and President Taft has done this,
rising fully to his opportunity and
surprising many politicians by ap-
pointing as the director and CHIEF
of the institution Miss Julia C. Lath-
rop, Of Chicago. She will be the
first woman to direct a federal
bureau. Her fitness for the position
is quite exceptional; indeed, accord

fixed solely on the letter Of the con-
tract, without regard to merit and
equity.

MANAGERS REFUSE
 ID GRANT INCREASE
Engineers Demands Are Refused-Strike May
 Follow

New York, April fs.-The committee Of general managers of the eastern rail- roads, after a further consideration to- day of the renewed demands by the engi- neers of the 50 railroads in the eastern territory for increased wages sent a com munlcation to Grand Chief Stone of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers that 1t is not possible to aocede to your wage requests and those certain to fol- low"
 The letter of the conference committee, which was signed by J. c. Stuart, chair man. to Grand Chief Stone. read in part.
 "The conference committee's answer of March 9 set forth their conclusions to the effect that the request made by the engi- neers could not be granted.
 "rhe public interests are demanding safer and better transportation, double track where in many places single track now exists interlocking and block sig nals: better cars and stronger tracks. the elimination of dangerous grade crossings. the adoption of safety appliances. In view of the narrow margin of profit it is essen tially the duty of the railroad companies tc provide. for these necessities before completely exhausting their revenues in the increase of wages. The present wage rates are full. fair and liberal.
 You state 1t Is your earnest desire to exhaust every honorable effort to reach a settlement and trust the conference committee may have some proposal that will bring the desired result. The confer enee committee would gladly make such suggestion if it could, but. subject to the present economic condition it is not pos sble to accede to your wage request and those certain to follow"

 It was built in 14f1. German princes occupied it at first Then 1t passed into the possession of the Duke of Man tua, who purchased 1t for 5000 ducats of gold.

w. Muth became interested in bee cul- ture through his having rheumatism. Now. he has bees and no rheumatism.
 Physicians who are watching this in- teresting experiment say that the formic acid which makes the sting of the bee so sharp and painful for the moment is ,he agent which nullfies the dreadful rheu- matic pains. Sharp and painful as the stings are. it Is a pain of relief com pared to the dull and incessant pain of the rheumatism. declares Rener, the pa tient.
 Tn the above normal treatment the pa tient visits the apiary twice each week. taking from three to five stings al each visit. After the system s once iuocuated with the formic acid of the bee stings the person becomes immune to rheumatic attacks.

From Farm and Preside.
 One sting of a bee will not cure your rheumatism. neither will two or three, but of you let one bee sting you every day, your rheumatism will soon 'disap- pear That's what some widely known physicians say who are watching an inter esting experiment in Cincinnati.
 John Renner of Cincinnati, long sus- ferer from rheumatism, is taking the bee sting cure. At the time this is being written he has already taken two weeks of the treatment, about 1T stings, and he likes it. At first hardly able to hobble about with the aid of cane. Renner can now walk almost as sprightly as any person. It is estimated by physicians that the poison injected into his system by the stinging bees has made the marked change In his chronic condition.
 Only few cases are on record where bees are used to cure rheumatism. Fred

LOST DEMURRER TO
SUITS IS ARGUED
Where Demurrers Were overruIed,
Defendants Given Until Novem
Der to File Answer.

Muskogee, Okla July 1S.-The last
of the demurrers in the thirty thou
sand land suits before the United
States district court were argued yes
terday afternoon. All the cases that
have not been decided either accord
ing to the adjudged cases handed down
by the United States supreme court
or by decisions handed down by Ralph
s. Campbell this week. were taken
under advisement
All the questions involved in the
cases will be covered by written opin-
ions by Judge Campbell, he announced
at the close of the arguments. These
opinions will cover the general propo-
sitions before the court. These ques-
tions concern the right of whole
blood, half-blood, mixed-blood allottees
and their heirs of the five civilized ma
tons to ALLEVIATE their lands, and the
bearing of acts of congress of 1896,
1903 and 1906 upon these rights
The cases were brought by the
United States to recover the lands.
This was the way the government
took to settle the question of title. All
persons affected by the suits as de-
PENDANTS entered demurrers to the
pleadings of the government. These
demurrers brought the cases before
the court this week. In the cases
where the court overruled the demur-
rers, the defendants were given until
November ! to file their answers to
the governments contentious. The
majority of the cases were grouped in
several classes and the questions in
volved settled by classes. A few of
the cases which permit of no classi-
fication will probably have to be set.
tied on separate arguments.
The litigation in some cases prob
ably worked an injustice upon per
sons who had purchased their lands
in good faith; but it was practically
the only method the government had
for clearing up the titles, since many
of the Indians attempted to dispose Of
their lands before the time expired
which gave them the right to sell The
settlement of these cases is expected
to preclude any other litigation or
these lands for some time to come.
