HEAT REGISTRATIONS.

At the request of well-known med ical journal, Dr. Karl Meyer and Dr. Harry Gauss. both of the Cook coun. ty hospital, Chicago, made d study of the causes of heat prostration. Their report is based on an examination of l55 cases taken to the hospital dur ing three days of July, and shows that "a case of heat prostration without an alcoholic breath is rarity"
 Doctor Gauss questioned p patients suffering from heat stroke. All but two had drunk some alcoholic bever- age during the day. The 23 confessed to libations from one bottle to one gallon of beer, besides stronger drinks. Most of the victims admitted the habitual use of intoxicants.
 Doctor Meyers statement, as quoted by the Chicago Tribune, is that "99 per cent of our cases were directly or indirectly due to alcohol. Beer and booze have two effects. They increase the bodily supply of heat and they lower the power of resist ance. The heat regulating center in the brain becomes deranged and the almost inevitable result is prostration If it weren't for alcohol these people probably wouldn't have been here. If alcohol was taken out of the world, I believe the number of cases of ali kinds at the county hospital would be reduced by half After what I've seen in this hospital 1 don't under its use"

REAL NAPOLEON OF FINANCE
Private Secretary of Capitalist Hit Upon Way to Raise His Salary
 While Cutting 1t.

The capitalist knew that the new company was spending too much money; also he knew that in some way they had got to put a stop to it. So anxious was he to reduce expenses that> he offered his private secretary S25 month extra if he could find way to cut down current expenses.
 The young man overhauled his ac- counts but he failed to find single expense that could be judiciously cut down. Just as he was about to give up the promised increase in salary it occurred to him that he was already getting $50 q month. Trimming over with enthusiasm, he sought the cap italist.
 Il have found way" he said. You can save $10 month on me. I have taken that amount off my salary"
 It took the capitalist just about q tenth of a second to see that the young man was still $15 month ahead; but the bargain stood.-New York Globe.

PROHIBITION HELPS.

T. J. Greer, president of the Louisi. ana State Federation of Labor, de- clares that the wages of every craft in Shreveport has steadily increased since the city went dry. The reason we have been able to organize so sue cessfully here" he says, lis because the liquor interests have been removed from union politics." Senator Richard Jones of Duluth for II years a union labor man, furnishes the following sig niticant data:
 In 1908 the city of Shreveport, La. voted dry.
 Since Shreveport went dry, the mem bership in labor unions has increased from 1900 to 3,700.
 Since Shreveport went dry, union la Dor men owning homes in that city have increased 40 per cent.
 Under the wet regime the single brewery In Shreveport employed six nonuniOn brewery workers.
 Under the dry regime that same brewery has been turned into an ice plant and employs 10 union ice mak- CTS.

Calls Handkerchief Dangerous.

Dr. S. r. Robbins of New York is en- gagged in n campaign of overthrowing the pocket handkerchief which he says continues to be a dangerous source of infection long after a person has re- covered from such diseases as infan- tile paralysis and even common 'colds." "The day will come" he says, ''when the customary cotton rag is re- placed by the cheap and clean Jap anese paper napkin, which is burned after it has been used Infants and children are helpless against the rub ping of strange handkerchiefs over their perspiring and grimy faces. The public roller towel of the past was in- nOcuous as compared to the family pocket handkerchief. Bitter expert ence will drive home the lesson that neglected noses, mouths and throats, which are largely, if not exclusively, responsible for the ultimate crippling of the unfortunate victims of disease and ignorance"

some medical authorities, explaining the abatement of epidemic diseases in modern years, are sufficiently free from professional ties to attribute this bet ierment of conditions, not to medical science, but to the increased use of soap and water. The Homeopathic Envoy is of the opinion that with clean house and a clean person no one need have much fear of infection. A Writer in tho New York Medical Rec ord says; Soap is now recognized to he an antiseptlc and to be effica- clous must produce a lather. Bacteria rubbed into soap or dropped on it's sur race are incapable of multiplication. The typhoid bacillus is very sensitive to soap, being killed by 5 per cent so- luton in short time. More than haIt the total number will die in one minute. The thorough use of pure pot aSh soap is not only a mechanical method of cleansing, but is an active l"ctor in cutting down germ life"

JAPAN HAS "LARGE GIVERS"
Far Eastern Empire Close Second to United States in Public Benefac-
 tions by Private Citizens.

While the United States easily holds the lead in large giving" by private citizens for public beneficence, Japan, ever eager in the race for civic better ment, Is showing great generosity among its wealthy toward projects for the public good, says East and West. An endowment fund for department of medicine for Keio university was sought last summer. It was originally planned to raise 100000 yen and dur ing September 100000 yen was req lized. Responses to the appeal con- tlnued in such generous stream that by October 15 the sum had increased to l037, ,O00 yen. The largest donors are the Mitsui family, with 100000 yen and the Mirimura, Homeikwai, Baron lwasaN and NIr. Fujita with 10000 yen each. Encouraged by the gifts to date, the university has decided to include the purchase price of the site in the fund and has raised the mark to 1 ,500,- OOo0 yen. The unexpected generosity of the donations marks new stage in the development of Japan. The Keio subscription fund was preceded q short time ago by 100000 yen donations by individuals in Osaka. One was gift of 100000 yen to the Osaka munich pality to be expended for the general betterment of the city's inhabitants. Another donation of the same amount was made to the Osaka Medical college for department of research.

What good do you get out of giving people mean little thrusts. If this is the sort of thing you enjoy, there is something wrong in your makeup. There is n spot in your heart which Is morally decayed. Its badness may not cause you to become positively dangerous, but you have within you the same quality of cruelty which makes the heather hang men up by the thumbs, because they enjoy the suffering of the victims. The hurts you infiict are mental. The barbarian tortures are physical, says Irish World. Mental anguish is more painful than physical hurt. It cuts deeper and lasts longer. You may think that one who is the butt of your remarks does not feel them deeply; but you know how sensitive you are to similar thrusts. you will stop to think moment and place yourself in the position of the one you attack, the chances are that you will not be guilty in future oi the mean little things in which you now indulge yourself as matter of "a little fun"

For the first time in 20 years the Florence county jail is empty. Not prisoner is housed within Its walls This Is a most unusual condition, and Jaller Bryant scarcely knows how to occupy his time. He has taken ad' vantage of this opportunity, however, to have general cleaning up. and has had every cell scrubbed from ceiling to floor. He says the emptiness of the jail at this time is due largely to the scarcity of liquor.

SHORTCOMINGS OF PAReNTHooo

A Texas judge has recently decided that a father has the right to whip his married daughter after she has returned to the protection of the parental roof. At the same time the whipping of seventeen-year-old girl would not be necessary had the father done his full duty in the earlier train ing of the child. Judge Pinckney of Chicago finds that large proportion of the delinquency of children com ing to his court is due to the neglect of their parents. And the juvenile courts all over the country are recog uizing this, and are accordingly taking measures to punish parents who will not restrain their offspring. Parents are continually advertising to the pub lie their own coarseness and ineffi- ciency by the conduct of their children, says Houston Post. In hotel and res taurant, on street cars and in jitneys, at the picture show and in the church, along the side walk and in the rail road tISin-everywhere that children 20 there is always walking advertise ment of the lack of home training, the failure of parenthood. Parents know, or should know, what taints-physica and mental-their progeny inherits. They know what traits of character are to be restrained and what culti- yated. But, instead of giving their lives to the study of the problem, they carelessly assume control of pliable material of the most wonderful possi- hlities for good or evil. With less Knowledge than they would devote to the care of scrub stock they enter upon the rearing of children. And not only do they permit, but they facilitate, the warping, dwarfing distorting and vul- garizng of what should have been de- yeloped into beautiful and lovely be- ingS molded in the image of the cre- ator.

Raise Rabbits to Increase the Meat
Supply.

Raise Rabbits to Increase the Meat
Supply.
Rabbits, which have proved valu-
able source of food in Europe during
the present war, may we'll be raised
more extensively in America by way
Of reducing the drain on the ordinary
meat supply, according to biologists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. The business of grow
ing rabbits, the specialists point out,
can be carried on by youths and
adults not engaged in military or 9TH
er national service, or in regular in
dustrial employment. The animals
may be raised in back yards of cities
and towns as we'll as on farms.
The Belgian hare, says a statement
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture, breeds rapidly, natures
quickly, and produces a palatable and
highly nutritious meat. The cost of
production is less than that of any
other meat. not excepting poultry.
The supply can be greatly increased
within a few months, without requir-
ing space that may be needed for the
production of crops. Practical ex-
perience has demonstrated that rabbit
meat can be produced in unlimited
quantities at cost of about cents
pound; and by utilizing lawn cut
tings and other vegetation that would
otherwise he wasted, the cost can be
made even lower.
The Belgian and Flemish Giant
rabbits are recommended for meat
production, as the ordinary tame rab-
bit is smaller and develops more slow
,ly. Stock Of Belgian hares may be
bought from breeders in nearly all
the states at 81 to SO each. They
may occasionally be had from pet
stock dealers. Fancy pedigreed stock
is not required for meat production.
Rabbits are easily kept. They eat
hay grass, lawn cuttings and green
vegetation Of many kinds. Females
should be allowed to breed when
eight or ten months old, and during
the year should raise four litters Of
about six young each. Well fed, the
young reach marketable size when
three to four months old and average
from five to six pounds live weight.
The Department of Agriculture has
published bulletin on raising rab-
bits which will be helpful to those
who wish to engage in this pursuit.
