CONSIDERS PENSIONERS
ON MERIT OF CASES
BristoW Doubtful of Those Re-
tired for Age Who Earn
Money Later.

Senator Bristow OF Kansas. discussing
last night the question whether or not
pensioners on the police and firemens
pension roll of the District who are re-
ceivng as much as 500 to 81 400 while
working for the government now. should
have their pensions discontinued. declar-
ed that the circumstances surrounding
the placing of these pensioners on the
roll must be taken into consideration.
IF a policeman was beaten UP by
thieves while on duty, or a fireman was
hurt by falling wall or otherwise in
jured while performing his hazardous
duty, ] believe that a pension would be
justified said Senator Bristow, even
though the man was earning some money
working after his injury. He took his
life in his hands in performing his duty
and received injuries. 1t is the same
way with the soldier or sailor injured in
battle.

TO CARRY BOND ELECTIONS.

TO CARRY BOND ELECTIONS.
1t is suggested by the Clinton Her
aid that 1t may become more difficult
to carry bond issue elections in Iowa
In the future il the Interpretation
placed on the new Iowa law by the
city solicitor of Ottumwa is correct
That city is about to vote on a propo-
sition to issue bonds in the sum of
100000 for the Improvement of the
water works plant, which is owned by
the city, and which is badly in need of
being enlarged and bettered. He holds
that 1t will be necessary to have
enough electors to vote in favor of the
proposition to constitute not a major
ity voting at the special election, but
majority of those who voted
at the last preceding munich
pal election. 1t is well known fact
that while normal vote is nearly al
ways cast at a municipal election. the
number voting at special elections
where bond issues are at stake, except
in rare cases is far below the normal
vote.

of selling STAN at fairs for the bene-
fit of the relief funds for the soldiers
hospitals in Brooklyn, Boston and
elsewhere. Nearly 100000 was
raised in this way before 1865. After
the war, this method of raising money
was discontinued In this country for

SOME SENSIBLE HEALTH Ru, IS

SOME SENSIBLE HEALTH RULES,
Sir James Sawyer, in the Toronto
Health Bulletin, has laid down four
teen rules of health which, If observed,
he thinks ought to give man a hun.
dred years of life, barring accidents.
These rules have attracted a great
deal OF attention and comment. They
are as follows:
l. Eight hours sleep every night,
z. Sleep on your right side.
g. Keep your bedroom window
open.
.. No cold bath In the morning,
but bath at the temperature of the
body
5. Exercise before breakfast.
G. Eat little meat and be sure it is
well cooked.
Z. Avoid intoxicants.
s. Allow no pet animals in your
living rooms, for they carry disease
germs.
8. Live in the country if you can.
10. Watch the three D's-drinking
water, Damp, Drains.
IL. Have change of occupation.
Il. Take frequent and short holt
days.
10. Limit your ambition.
IA. Keep your temper.
DR.. w. A. EvaLs, in his health de-
lrartment in the Chicago Tribune,
quotes Metchnikoff, who is an author
lity on health and old sse to the eff
feet that rule two Is superfiuous, al
though 1t is best to sleep on the side
opposite the heart, If one sleeps on
his side He also thinks that rule
| four, relating to cold baths should
not be made absolute. For the young
and even the middle aged cold baths
under certain conditions may be
beneficial In hot weather quick
| cold bath, snappy one, followed by
a good rub, DR.. Evana thinks is bet
tier than cup of coffee or drink OF
whiskey to enable the body to en-
dure cold But for the older ones
the rule ought to be observed, al
though there may be exceptions.

GODS LOVE,

Like cradle rocking, rocking.
Silent, peaceful to and fro
Like mothers sweet looks dropping
On the little face below,
Hangs the green earth, SWINGING
turning,
Jarless, noiseless, safe and slow;
Falls the light of Gods face bending
Down and watching us below.
And as feeble babes that suffer,
Toss and cry, and cannot rest,
Are the ones the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best;
So when We are weak and wretched
BY our sins weighed down, dis
tressed,
Then it is that Gods great patience
Holds US closest, loves US best
Q great heart of God; whose loving
Cannot hindered be nor crossed;
VIII not weary, will not even
In our death itself be lost
Love divine; of such great loving
Only mothers know the cost
Cost of love which, all love passing,
Gave son to save the lost.

Expectoration Spreads Germs.


Next a few words about the expect
orations or spitum Of consumptive.
| have already called attention to the.
vast number Of germs thrown off by
tubercular person in days time
and when we see every day the care
less manner in which people expector-
ate upon sidewalks, office floors, steps
and all public places we sometimes
wonder that the death rate in tuDercu-
losis Is really being decreased. When
expectorated and allowed to dry, sput-
UNI rapidly becomes dust and n dis
tributed far and wide. In the rom IN
which tuberculous woman has lived,
the dust from the walls in the neigh.
borhood Of her bed was infective six
weeks after her death.
All places of residence of tubercu.
lous persons should be thoroughly
fumigated after death or removal OF
such person from the premises. in
fact fumigation of the rooms occu-
pied by a consumptive every month
or two during their sickness would
not be unwise and would safeguard
very much the liability of infection of
others In the house. Tubereulous per-
sons should always expectorate in re-
ceptacles with covers and containing
a strong disinfecting solution, for If
not properly covered there is the DIN
ger of our one great pest, the lily
coming along and helping to dissem-
mate the disease through his activi-
ties. Always bear In mind when
about tuberculous person that the
chief factor in the disease is the germ
itself and in the approximations of one
so afflicted We have this factor in It's
greatest number.
