Fresh Air Fiends (,

Omaha, June ITO the Editor OF
The Bee: l have had occasion late
ly to ride on the skip-stop street
cars a good deal and have found
out how uncomfortable the riding is
IN the cars. 1t makes no difference
how cold the air may be, how hard
the wind Is blowing, nor how hard
It may be raining, there are lot of
fresh air fiends that as soon as they
get on the street cars, their first act
Is to lower the windows until on
some very blustery days there is not
window on either side Of the cars
that has not been lowered.
have noticed that the ones who
ire most anxious to lower the car
windows are young women with
heavy furs on. II they are so hot
when they get on the street cars they
should leave their heavy furs home
n the summer time.
Talk about men wearing straw
hats before some brainless fellow
says you can wear them. 1t Is not
half so foolish as for women to wear
heavy furs In the summer time.
I am strong believer in lots OF
fresh air, but some sense should be
used In getting it as in anything
else.
Half the colds people have come
from riding on the street cars with
all the windows open in cold and
blustery weather.

How To Live Long.

Fremont, Neb., June Ito the
Editor Of The Bee: Feeling that "the
proper study of mankind is man"
and that there is too much worry
over politics and too much haste to
get rich, I desire to write a few
words that may help to awaken your
readers to the fact that we do not
spend enough time studying the
needs of our bodies, how to use
them and how to develop our vital
ity so thoroughly and use so econ
omically that we approach closer to
the long lives that our forefathers
used to live.

Cold Storage and Disease

For a long time 1t has been the
custom, when few cases of typhoid
fever occur in a community, to inn
mediately impugn the character of
the water supply. This attitude Of
mind is legacy of the time when
polluted water was believed to be
the only source of this infection.
Where large number Of cases occur,
and especiallyyif they are not limited
to one neighborhood, 1t is a wise
water. But where cases are re-
ported sporadically, especially in
communities which have a munici-
pal water system, it Is more logical
to seek the source elsewhere. The
modern method Of food distribution
Is a, marvellous development that is
comparable to other inventions Of
the 18th century. Through 1t per-
ishable articles are not only dis
trihuted from one point where the
supply exceeds the demand to others
where they are needed: but they are
also held, in the case Of certain
foods. a year or more, IL the supply
is too abundant. Nor Is the dis
tribution Of such things limited to
the farthermost boundaries of one
country, but they are also shipped
from one country to another across
the widest seas.
All this has come about through
the expansion of the cold storage
business, and the use Of refrigerator
cars, and cold storage plants : on
steamships. There Is a large and
ever increasing demand for various
perishable articles of food out Of sea-
son, so there is a constant move. 1t
of supplies from one region to an
other. Furthermore, this demand
has stimulated the speculative zeal
of those engaged in the cold storage
business, with the result that "in
season" enormous storing of perish
able foods is conducted. So great
at times is the demand for these
shipment to other parts of the coun-
try, that in many localities where
they are grown it Is impossible to
purchase In the local market either
fresh fowl, eggs, butter, fruits, and
game. Hence 1t Is probably true
that more of the above mentioned
articles of food are eaten out of sea-
son than in.
My reason for dwelling upon this
phase Of modern economic life Is to
draw attention to the possibility Of
communicable diseases being carried
with foods from points widely
separated, and the difficulty of trac-
ing those so carried to their source.
Refrigeration does not necessarily
kill infectious agents and animal
parasites: indeed, there are dangers
in the free use Of ice in drinking
water. So that through this system
of food storage and distribution some
contaminated article, such as cream,
may be shipped 500 miles to
creamery, churned into butter there,
held in storage a few months, and
finally shipped another thousand
miles, or across the ocean to Europe
or Asia. The same possibility pre-
sents itself in the cases of all fruits
and vegetables that are eaten raw.

Chicago is asking the Illinois legislature for
law that will permit the city to say what part

Omaha is supposed to have secured such law
from the Nebraska legislature, but the law is

Protest From Jefferson Precinct,

jefferson Precinct, June 1910 the
Editor Of The Bee: I am against
the bond issue and would like to tell
the taxpayers of Douglas county why
l am. We have at this time a one
man board Of county commissioners.
Compton seems to be the whole
board for the last two years. Should
the bond issue carry you can bet
that Center street would be paved
out through no mans land and on
through the brush, where the dogs
rark at strangers, to the Platte
liver. To prove that we have a one
nan board wish to give a few facts
rs understand them. Since Comp
ton has been commissioner he has
gone to John Hofeldt, the largest
grader In Douglas county, at 81 a
day more money than a Jefferson
precinct mans bid. For the last two
years Compton has run the Water
loo graders with his own teams, hir-
ing, Tom, Dick and Harry to run
them. They commence when they
please, quit when the please, and
work when they please, and
Compton passes on his own bills and
draws his money and have you
heard any protest? On last election
day Compton sent out the county
auto in the interest of John Hofeldt
tor sheriff. The county paid for the
ariver. the gas and oil and stood the
wear and tear of the car and 1t was
kept busy all day hauling voters to
the polls for Hofeldt Did you hear
a protest? l want good roads, but
I want the taxpayers money spent
where 1t will do the most good to the
greatest number. PETE NELSON,

Competition for the Big Conventions.

Signs are already pointing to lively COM
petition for the presidential nominating con-
ventions OF both the big political parties. To
spy out the land and see which looks like the
most attractive field, Kansas City has already
put special commissioner on the job following
close upon an announcement from St. Paul and
Minneapolis that the Twin Cities would offer
bids. It is expected that Denver and St. Louis,
as we'll as Chicago, will be presenting invita-
tons when the time comes, all of them going on
the theory that the conventions will be held in
the middle west, not only for convenience of
central location, but also to strengthen the
lines in this section Of the country, which will
Be the contested territory in the canvass for
votes.
Chicago has been so often the favored con-
vention city that the others seem to think it
necessary to start propaganda for "any place
but Chicago" They concede that Chicago is the
ideal meeting spot from every standpoint Of
accommodation To offset this it is charged
that Mayor William Hale Thompson has made
Chicago politically unpopular, so that neither
party can afford to have its presidential candi-
date nominated in the city that reelected big
Bill" OF course it is hardly safe to take this
as conclusive, since the mayor of the city has
little to say and much less to do in the matter
and it is quite possible to conceive of one or
both of the conventions going to Chicago any
way, not because, but in spite of Big Bills
occupancy of the mayors chair.
The significant thing about the early start
to capture the conventions is the widespread
conviction it reflects that presidential politics
will hold the center of the stage and rivet pub
lie interest during the coming months to greater
exclusion of other subjects than for many year.

F THIN AND
 NERVOUS, TRY
 PHOSPHATE

A French scientist has discovered an organic phosphate which should be a very effective remedy for weak nerves, sleeplessness, thinness and lack of strength, energy and vigor
 Its substance is described by spe cialists' as identical in composition with certain vital elements naturally found in brain and nerve cells and one which when taken into the hu- man system is quickly converted into healthy living tissue.
 This phosphate is already widely known among druggists in this coun- try as Bitro-Phosphate and some physicians claim that through it's use strength, energy, vigor and nerve force are frequently increased in two weeks time.
 Dr. Frederick Kolle, editor of New York Physicians Who's Who" says it should be prescribed by every doc tor and used in every hospital in the United States. As there are a great variety of sa-called phosphates, those who wish to test this substance should be sure to get the genuine Bitro-Phosuhate.-Adv.
