assessment Of the two classes of
property to be equitable or just
This is what can be termed COM
mon sense rule Of law and the city's
attorney was justified in settling with
out needless appeal to the supreme
court. Senator Chase, himself a law
yer, evidently saw tile justice In it and
sought to write the principle into the
Iowa law by legislative enactment
without waiting for the supreme court
to do It by judicial decree. However.
the Waterloo Reporter has called at
|tention rightly to the fact that this
new statute has nothing whatever to
do with the paving of street and alley
intersections. A separate bill to cover
that failed to pass the legislature. The
new law covers only the paving abut-
ting private property but it seeks to
iset up the total area rule for measur-
ling the benefits instead OF the street
frontage rule and this area is to in
Iclude all property lying nearer to the
street improved than to any other
street, but in no case more than three
hundred feet distant.

HOME GARDENING.

Home gardening directed by the /
school is offered by DR.. P. P. Claxton,
u. S. commissioner of education, as
a solution for some OF the most press
ing educational and economic prob
lens in city and suburban life. Dr.
Claxton would have every vacant town
lot transformed into a garden, where
boys and girls would raise vegetables,
berries and fruit for pleasure and for
profit. He would have one teacher in
the community employed twelve
months In tho year to teach elemen-
tarv science in school and direct the
home garden work after school, ON
Saturdays and during the summer
vacation.

AIR PRESSURE AND HEALTH.


1t used to be contended by lead
ing physician here in Keokuk thirty
years ago that he could learn the con.
dition of his patients before visiting
them on any given day by consulting
the barometer He claimed that they
were always worse when the barome-
ter was low. This was because the
lessened. atmospheric pressure permit
ted the tissues to expand and develop
ed any soreness latent in them. 1t is
a well known fact that rheumatics
can always foretell change of wealth
er by this means. The idea advanced
by the Keokuk physician is elaborated
in a new book by Edwin C. Martin
published by the Harpers. Mr.. Mar
tin asserts that the human body is as
responsive to variations in the quality
of the air as the barometer itself. 1t
has been observed, he says, that men
eat better, sleep better and work bet
ter when the barometer is high than
when it is low When the barometer
falls we grow limp in body and endur-
ance, and become particularly con-
scious of all of our chronic ailments
and Weaknesses Since he con

A Muscatine physician declares that

AYERS that ten thousand dollars spent
N keeping streets and alleys clean
would eliminate sickness that costs
the larger sum. The statement prob
ably is true. as the Cedar Rapids Ca
Izette thus shows:
One pile of garbage left undisturb-
led, few hours in the summer time,
will be a roosting place for flies, that
can carry disease germs into scores
Of homes. A few disease germs prop
erly placed by dirty fly can cause
illness which nets the doctor, the
hospital and possibly the undertaken
a big sum. And few cents expend-
ed in the first place would have pre-
vented the infection. Insanitation is
expensive, all right; but sometimes q
lot OF people fail to realize it, even
when the argument is so conclusive.

THE COST or TUBERCULOSIS.

In the annual report of the National
Association for the Prevention and
Study of tuberculosis it is stated that
the sum Of s29,Ooo,000 was used last
year in the various applications OF
scientific and medical activities deal
ing with the prevention and treat
ment of tuberculosis. From the sched-
ules of expenses which are drawn up
for public information, it appears that
sanatoria and hospitals cost $4,000
900; care OF patients in dispensar1es
and open air schools, about $4,000;
while state and local boards OF health
spent over $250,000. Public funds
furnished $13,so0.000, or nearly 70
per cent of the total. The greatest
amount spent by any state was cred
tied New York.
