MR.. C|NDER IN YOUR EYE.
|. YOU MAY LET OUT CHEER
Representative Prouty Intro.
duceS Bill to Prevent Rail-
road Nuisance.

Ever get a cinder IN your eye? Yes?
Well, the entire membership of the Gin
der-in-the-Eye Club is invited to root
and root hard-fOr the bill in Congress-.
introduced by Representative Prouty of
Iowa, which provides that all railroads
must equip their common passenger cars
with cinder defiectors.
Representative Prouty declares he has
no Interior motive in introducing the
bill. and that his eyes have not been at
tackled by cinders recently, but that the
picture Of trainloads of passengers rub
bling their eyes while the half-burned
engine fuel flies in at the windows is too
much for him, He cannot stand it any
longer, and consequently he has intro
duced the bill.
Provisions Of Measure.
1t provides:
THAT every railroad company engaged
in interstate commerce shall provide its
coaches and chair cars with cinder de-
f1ectors similar in purpose and design
to those commonly used In the windows
Of the cars OF the Pullman company. and
the employees Of the railroad company
In charge of said car shall. upon demand
Of any passenger, place said cinder de-
Hector in the windows thereof at all
times when the weather is such as to
make il necessary or proper that the
windows of such cars be left open. and
any railroad company failing to comply
with the provisions OF this section by
June 1, 1914, shall be subject to all the
penalties prescribed in the act of which
this is amcndatory.
Favorable Report Expected.
Representative Prouty's bill is before
the House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce. and 1t Is expected to
be reported favorabiy from that COM
mittee.
In speaking OF the bill. Representative
Prouty says:
1T is certainly the duty Of common
carriers to use reasonable efforts to
secure the comfort and safety OF their
passengers. There is nothing that adds
so much to the danger and discomfort
OF passengers in day coaches in hot
weather when the windows must be open.
as the constant shower or cinders pour

through a train on such day he will
notice the difference between Pullman
car and day coach. There are no
cinders in the Pullman car. The few
passengers there are enjoying real COM
fort. But step into the day coach. 1t
Is usually filled with men. women and
children, covered with cinders. The
seats and even the aisles are covered
with them. They get into the eyes, ears
and down the throats OF the passengers.
They constitute not merely sore dis

DECLARES DEMOCRATS
FEARED DISCLOSURES
Republican Leader Explains
Why House Barred Debate
of Caminetti Case.

Mr. Kahn is prepared to show things
which the Attorney General does not
want to be made public"
In satirical statement regarding the
way in which the House shut of the
possibility of a speech on the Caminetti
case yesterday, Representative Mann OF
Illinois, floor leader OF the republicans,
says that the democratic party in the
House is desperately afraid OF the dis
closures which they believed to be con-
tanned in the undelivered speech OF Rep
resentatiye Kahn of California. There
is every probability that Mr.. Kahn will
have a chance to deliver his speech be-
fore long. He and the minority leader
will watch every parliamentary loop
hole, and sooner or later a situation Will
arise which will allow Mr.. Kahn to gain
the floor and keep it.
Mr.. Mann Makes Statement.
Says Mr.. Mann in his statement:
1.-The almost unprecedented action Of
the democrats In the House OF laying the
Kahn resolution OF inquiry in the Can't
netti case on the table shows how des-
perately afraid the democrats are Of hay
ing the truth known. The movement
was led by Mr.. Byrns OF Tennessee. the
state from which the Attorney Genera
comes. and it is understood that Mr..
Byrns is acting at the instigation OF the
Attorney General Mr.. Byrns has twice
prevented Mr.. Kahn from making his
speech on the question.
THAT the Attorney General does not
want the truth known is not surprising
He did not send all the papers to the
judiciary committee. When he sent the
order to California to Mr.. McNab TO
postpone the Caminett case, which re-
suited in McNab's resignation, the At
torney General subsequently explained
that he did this at the request OF Secre-
tary Wilson of the Department of Labor,
and he sent the order without reference
to the files in the case.
What Kahn Expected to Show.
Mr.. Kahn was prepared TO show that
long before this-a month or more-the
Attorney General had sent a telegram
to Mr.. McNab in California directing him
to take no further steps in the Can't
netti case and that it was sent not from
the Department OF Justice, but from q
hotel in Washington. and undoubtedly
sent at the request Of some political in
fiuence.
"Mr. Kahn is prepared to show num-
Der of other things which the Attorney
General does not wish made public. and
hence Mr.. Byrns objected

she might toss In pain all night and be
unfit for work next day. It is not always
possible to have sufficient ice even for
every fever patient in a hospital. and in
out outside aid"
The most srievous lack in a hospital
is an insufficient supply Of ice, and yet
TINS happens sometimes because the hos
pltal has not sufficient money at its dis
posal TO supply all that is required. A
Well-to-do man one hot day suffered from
severe pain which only the ice bag would
relieve. The hospital was out of ice for
the day. and it was only by communi-
cation with outside friends that his need
was relieved. When he recovered he
established fund for that hospital to
be devoted exclusively to the supply OF
ice In order that patients who had no
! outside resources might never be COM
PEELED to suffer from the lack OF it.

their ordinary comfort or to preserve
their food, as do the people in more
fortunate circumstances. The destitute
wife does not buy food in any greater
quantities than the daily need Of her
family requires She is seldom able to
do even that. Eut if her baby's milk,
which she often is not able to buy. is
to be kept sweet she may need q daily
piece Of ice as we'll.
The tenement mothers who crowd up
to a free ice station upon a hot day
are a pathetic group. Usually each is
equipped with goodly supply OF news
paper in which the welcome lump OF
GOODNESS Is wrapped carefully In order
that 1t may be kept as long as posi-
scant furniture a wood box and, per-
haps, an old sack. The ice is placed In
the box. the bottle of milk tight against
1t and the sack covering all until baby's
feeding time. Sometimes a mother will
manage to keep back a milk bottle or
two, which she will fill with water
and pack against the ice also In order
that the older children may have a
cooler drink than would otherwise be
possible. Any one who has seen eager
children crowding around their mother
as she removes the sack from the
cherished lump of ice, in order that
they may have the simple treat of q
CUP Of cold water, cannot but feel that
the money spent in giving ice to the
poor in hot weather is as good an in
yestment in human comfort and happi-
ness as can be secured.

every sick person is entitled to the
best medicines that are to be found
in nature, regardless Of cost To Oh
tain pure drugs they prepare their
own laboratory, and every patient is
thus assured pure medicine, the best
obtainable, regardless of cost. The
expensive and elaborate Instruments
used in diagnosis, and the extreme
care used in securing pure drugs and
preparing them especially for each
case, make the treatment used by the
United Doctors more expensive than
ordinary treatment, yet the larger
number of patients treated make it
possible to place the treatment within
the reach of all.
The venerable old physician who
will be in personal charge of the Rich
mond institute, is one of the first spe-
cialists on the United Doctors staff.
and one of the Directors of the Asso-
citation. They have announced that in
order to introduce the wonderful new
system of medicines in this vicinity
they decided to secure a large num-
Der of different cases at once, and in
order to secure a large number of
different cases quickly. so that
they can cure them at once, and thus
prove to the public the wonderful cura-
tive powers of this new system of
treatment, they will cure the first few
cases absolutely free. The grand free
offer is as follows:
All cases accepted for treatment be-
fore March Is. will be treated free of
charge until they are we'll. Examina
ton is free and treatment will be free,
the only charge being made will be
for the medicine used. each patient be-
ing expected to pay for his medicines.
In case of very poor people the medi-
cine will be furnished free also.
This is really a very remarkable and
generous offer by these great special
lists, 1t is not an offer of free treat
ment for few weeks, but free treat
ment until well. regardless of the
length of time. This offer is good on
ly In cases accepted for treatment be-
fore March Is. After that date full
fees will be charged to all.
Consultation and examination is free
to all. but only durable cases will be
accented for treatment II your case
is incurable you viii be told so and
not one penny of your money accepted
However, many cases that are incur
able by old methods can be quickly
cured by this wonderful new treat
ment Of the United Doctors.
The date of the opening of the new

Mayor and Representative OF
Electrical Concern
Have 1t Out.
STUEVE'S STATEMENT
Saws 1t Looks Like Something
Wrong With Admins
tratiOn.

r. c. Stueve OF the Westinghouse
Electric company was called before
the board of works this morning and
an effort was made by members of the
the charges he and other representa-
tives of electrical concerns made
through the newspapers here recently,
when it was claimed that city officials
had reached an understanding with the
General Electric company regarding
contracts for part of the equipment for
the light plant, prior to the opening of
the bids.
The members of the board asked
Stueve the origin of the charges
After much delay and partial denial
of the stories printed by the news
papers, Stueve admitted that he had
heard it in round about way
That's enough said Mayor Zim-
norman, ito convince us that it is a
lie. The fact that you heard it in a
round about way is sufficient to show
us that there are no grounds for the
charges"
ut looks like something is wrong in
this administration" said Stueve.
Mayor Zimmerman became very
angry at this and exclaimed that who
ever made such an accusation was a
liar. DO you mean that?" almost
shouted the mayor.
We'll, it looks that way" replied
Stueve. Both of the men became very
heated in their arguments, Mayor Zim-
norman asserting that any one who
accused the city officials of graft in
this case or even by saying that the
awarding of the contract for machin-
cry for the light plant was prearrang-
ed was liar.
Mayor Zimmerman then denounced
the newspapers stating that the report
ers were liars. And what's more" said
the mayor to Stueve, ''if you made
these statements to the newspapers,
you are liar
The board resumed the work of GO
ing over the bids, announcing that no
partiality would be shown because of
the trouble. AS vet no decision has
been reached in regard to the engine
or generators as the representatives OF
all the companies who presented bids
have not been given opportunity to
talk on the merits of their machinery
The board announced this morning
that Engineer Howard Gluys will be
sent out on an inspection trip to look
over some of the machinery which has
been installed in other cities by the
different companies
