history Of another social difficulty. It
was IN the days Of Augustus Caesar.
Industry and agriculture were at a

the majority were slaves. They had

Need Of Reforms.

Many specific reforms are needed
to meet the many specific abuses. A.
little more than year ago the com,
mittee on standards of living and
labor of the National Conference OF
Charities undertook to describe the
lowest conditions Of life and labor
which society ought to tolerate, in
what is called a platform Of mini.
NUNS The committee formulated
certain standards under the heads OF
wages, hours, housing, sanitation and
safety, compensation or insurance
and term Of working life, which
every reasonable and human man will
agree are the least and lowest con.
ditions consistent with decency. II
called for specific measures of legis.
lation to bring about these standards
"The great number and variety OF
reforms that will have to be adopted
before our working people can be
said to enjoy decent civilized con.
ditions Of life and labor are set forth
in this platform. Any one who will
read this platform, and then con.
slider the millions Of American labor.

standards of decency, you will re.
alize how great is the need for far.

NOT BORNE OUT BY RECORDS
Assertion Recently Made That Cancer
Is Contagious Has Yet to Be Ae-
knowledsed as Fact.

The most recent announcement Of
q cancer cure" from Europe says
that the inventor has declared that
"he has proved through experiments
and repeated tests that the disease
is contagious and brought about by
the presence of a parasite" Lest
such an announcement should disturb
those who are closely associated with
patients suffering from cancer or add
to the dread OF the disease, or make
sufferers from it more uncomfortable
than they are already because of their
affliction, it may be we'll to empha-
size actual medical knowledge of this
phase Of the disease.
There are absolutely no cases on
record in which cancer has ever been
transferred from one human being to
another, though physicians have often
inoculated themselves with portions
of cancerous tumors. Nurses who
spend their lives caring for cancer pa
tients in certain institutions where
these. cases are taken exclusively do
not suffer from the affection more
than. the general run of the popula-
ton.
So many new cancer cures" are an
nounced-it is q barren year when at
least three such cures are not brought
to the notice of the pubIic-that skep-
ticism is the only rational attitude I'M
til large number of tests have been
made 1t is important, however, that
the sensational announcements Of
these real or supposed advances in
medicine should not add to the suffer
Ing Of patients who are'already under
the burden Of what is probably the
most serious of human Affections.

Governor Oddie has received a
warrant from the National Treas
ury for $16,556.89 for distribution
to the several counties of the State
representing the proportion of the
receipts during the fiscal year end
ed June 80, 1913 from the Nation
al Forests, under the Act CT Con-
gress which provides as follows:
That hereafter twenty-five per
centum of all money received from

cal year, including the year ending

end thereof. by the Secretary of
the Treasury to the State or Terri
tory in which said reserve is situat-
ed, to be expended as the State or
Territorial legislature may pre-
scribe for the benefit of the public
schools and public roads of the
county or counties in which the
forest reserve is situated; provided,
that when any forest the distribu-
tive share to each from the pro-
ceeds Of said reserve shall be pro-
port1onal to its area therein"
Elko is the largest benefactor
from the distribution receiving the
sum of $6,137.

ORGTORICAL and NERvY

On Napoleon's arrival at Mars
la-Tours the mayor, farmer tried
in vain to make the speech he had
prepared. Bowling and scraping he
stood fascinated by. Bonaparte's
scrutinizing black eyes-an un.
happy squirrel in the gaze of the
rattlesnake.
Close behind the trembling may
or stood an old shoemaker, in fig
ure true Dor Quixote, clad in his
working dress. "Why don't you
speak, you fool?" he muttered
from time to time to his leader.
At last his patience gave way. He
pushed the mayor aside, advanced,
with his left hand. removed his
greasy cotton nightcap, with his
right lifted the horn spectacles
from his nose. made his bow and
delivered this grafton: Emperor,
you are On your way to thrash the
Prussian rogues once more. / hope
soon to see you return crowned
with glory, and / have nothing
more to say, but that Caesar and
Alexander were botches in compari-
son with you"
The emperor laughed and inquir-
ed of the old man whether he had
any SONS. Yes: four are in the
army-two of these in the guards. u
Their names were taken down and
the honest shoe maker soon saw
them raised to the rank of officers
and found himself provided with
comfortable pension.
