Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
By DR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States
 Public Health Service

i Public Health Service
 Many people suppose that plague spreads like wildfre, as we say, once It appears in given locality.
 As said before, the pneumonia form may, and sometimes does, spread with great rapidity among people who live under overcrowded and other insanitary conditions -- that Is, where there is close per sonal contact
 Under favorable conditions pneu- monic plague spreads along the lines Of travel hy human beings, by rail or any other mode of travel. This is not true of the bubonic type, which goes where the rat goes and reaches human beings from the rat.
 Even epidemics Of the pneumonia form of plague are Of animal ori- gin insofar as we can tell. The small outbreak In Oakland. Calif., several years ago started in the following way: A hunter of ground squirrels in shooting these animals evidently obtained one which was sick of plague.
 It Is probable that flea from this animal bit him. most likely on the arm, and he developed the bu- bonic type of the disease. Before he died. however, he developed a secondary plague pneumonia. During his illness he infected others. possibly by coughing or sneezing in close proximity. Or a very small. an invisible quantity of secretion from the lungs Of the patient might have reached their fingers and from the fingers been transferred. to month or nose. This is sufficient to cause the disease.
 After the pneumonia form de- veloped from this first case, 1t was passed on from one person to an- other until 14 persons died before the epidemic was checked, Two of those who died in Oakland at that time were doctors and two were nurses.
 What is the future of plague in the United States? This is hard to predict. The disease is present in 4o countries at the present time. Approximately a quarter of mil lion cases of human plague were reported from all countries last year.
 Rats readily carry the disease from one county to another on board ship and there are very few ships built that do not harbor rats in large numbers.

iment. l also told him of her aaustic speech concerning Katherine and her preference for cases where life and death was involved. and of the expression In Lucia's eyes when she had spoken the words an expres- sion which had spelled her conyic- ton that Katherine would prefer her death.
 When I had finished Hal Mere dith looked al me steadily.
 "If Your Theory is Right"
 If only you weren't so well bal lanced yourself" he said, "I could discount all this. But-I don't mean this as compliment-you may guess tha- l am in no mood for anything but facts-you are the sanest, most discerning woman l know, except Katherine, and I know that you are speaking only what you actually believe and what you iare making m0 believe"
 He began to pace up and down ! the room, halted abruptly with an- other question.
 Did Lucia guess that your sus- picions were aroused?" 1 ''I am sure she did" l answered, and told him of my trip to the book store. Of Lucia's trailing me there and of her queries to the proprietor concerning my purchase.
 If your theory is right concern ing her sanity" he said slowly, "the knowledge of your suspicious will serve 10 lake her more cunning than ever and more determined up- on her course of action
 He struck his clenched fist into the palm of the other and I saw that the action spelled the con- sciousncss Of impotency to deal with the terrible situation thrust upon him.
 "Oh. poor Lucia!" he said. Was it not enough for her to be con- demned to death without having 10 face confinement as a lunatic be- sidco"
 As he spoke my eyes had been drawn as if fascinated to the door by which I had entered. Surely it was opening slowly. stealthily. And the brilliant alienist had no sooner finished speaking than his wife came into the room.

Table Service

The proper order for silverware upon the table laid for the formal dinner, is all knives and spoons at the right of the plate, all forks at the left. The only exception Is the oyster fork which is laid 10 the right. Silver is laid in order of it's use. starting f.om the outside and working in towards the edge. Thus, the oyster fork would precede the soup spoon if the oyster course were served. Dessert silver is not laid on the table, but is brought in when this course is served.

When Redwing asked him If he had ever smclled the perfume of butterfly Peter thought at first that Redwiug was joking. But be- fore he could ask any questions Redwing had flown away and left Peter stewing in his own curiosity.
 T don't believe that butterflies have any perfume" declared Peter NO, sir, I don't believe that butter flies carry any perfume.' Without realizing it he spoke aloud.

PLAN is
DEVISED BY league

Planning of campaign to speed up
registration, an address by former
City Attorney Cross, in which he told
of the celebration of the opening of
Tacoma's second hydro-electric plant,
the Cushman, brief talks by former
Mayor J. M. Phillips, C. E. Dietrich,
Councilmen Wieland and Lightfoot,
were the principal items Of interest
at the regular meeting Of the Wy
nooche Water and Power League in
the Council Chambers Of the City hall
Tuesday evening.
In order to speed up registration it
was decided to supply means of trans
portation to those who have not done
so free Of charge. Several of those
present offered their autos for that
purpose, so anyone in favor of the
Wynooche power project may call 214
and have an auto call and take them
to the City Hall and back home, free.
Mr.. Cross returned to Aberdeen
Tuesday after having participated in
the Cushman celebration at Tacoma,
with an apparent surcharge of that
Tacoma energy" His view Of the
Cushman celebration is published else
where in this issue under the heading
of "Epochal Event." and should be
read BY both opponents and advocates

COMPARISON OF COST
BETWEEN WYNOOCHE
AND CUSHMAN PLANT
Data Supplied By Eminent
Engineers Proves Stevens
Report Erroneous.
(By Councilman e. z. Weiland.) J

.(By Councilman e. Z. Weiland.)
As outlined in the Stevens report
a comparison Of costs for the Wy
nooche and Cushman projects is very
misleading. The costs per II. P. for
Cushman as quoted by Mr.. Stevens
are for average reservoir level and
not maximum or installed H. P. All
the machines, equipment, transmits
sion lines, buildings, ETC., for Cush-
man are constructed for a maximum
of 10000 H. P. instead of 10000 as
computed by Mr.. Stevens.
It viii Be seen, therefore. that
Cushman instead Of being III times
larger is 25s times larger on 'installa-
tion as the proposed ultimate capa-
city at Wynooche. AS 10000 H. P. at
Cushman cost only $5,450,0O0 COM
plete, it should be entirely feasible
to develop $1,000 H. P. at the Wy
nooche for $2,OOO,000.
Transmission Lines Longer.
The Cushman transmission line is
twice as long, a double line. and
higher voltage than the Wynooche
would be. For V the Cushman trans
mission line cost Aberdeen could build
single line from Aberdeen to the
Wynooche and continue to an intertie
with Tacoma and Seattle at Cush-
man.
This intertie would guarantee Aber-
deem immediate sale of surplus pow
er and put the Wynooche plan on a
paying basis Immediately which is
very desirable, besides giving Aber-
deem a good intertie with the extern
sive power systems Of Tacoma, Seat
tie and Stone and Webster.
In trying to prove the complete
development of the power project at
once is the economical method of pro-
cedure. Mr.. Stevens makes an er~
roneous assumption quite commonly
made, viz: That capital cost is final
cost.
Sound financial reasoning, however,
must include the carrying charges
such as interest on the investment,

CELEBRATION
WAS EPOCHAL EVENT
SAYS ATTORNEY CROSS
Tacoma Business Men Offer
Services To Prove Value
OF Public Ownership.
BY A. EMERSON CROSS
Former City Attorney

It was my pleasure to present last
Monday at the Cushman Power. Cele-
bration in Tacoma.
Thousands Of the people Of the
City of Tacoma gathered at the Mar
rows to witness the ceremonies.
On the program were three former
mayors Of the city of Tacoma, who
told Of the struggles made and the
obstacles overcome to make the Cush-
man project a reality.
A citizens committee one time was
obliged to wait upon the executive of
the state to secure one acre Of ground
belonging to the State Of Washington,
which the city was unable to obtain.
This committee was composed of
representative business and profess
sional men Of the city Of Tacoma. in
Guiding former member Of the Su-
preme Court.
Prominent Speakers
The principal speakers on the pro-
gram were R. K. Tiffany, state super
visor Of hydraulics, John h. Powell,
An attorney Of the firm Of Peters &
Powell, Of Seattle, who prepared the
ordinances for the city of Tacoma
for the Cushman project, and Homer
T. Bone, Of Tacoma.
No speaker was given q more fav-
orable reception by the thousands
present than was Homer Boone. He
electrified that great audience with
his eloquence and personality. The
driving power Of his me ssaee. re-
counting Taeoma's experiences and his
prophecy Of 3 great future for the
city Of Tacoma. under municipal own
ership, was received with hearty ap-
progal By TIE people.

The only way to keep men form
agitating against grievances Is to
remove the grievances. An unwill-
fneness even to discuss these matters
produces only dissatisfaction and
gives comfort to the extreme ele-
ments Of our country, which endeavor
to stir up governments to embark
upon q course Of retaliation and re-
preston. The seed Of revolution Is
repression. The remedy tor these
things must not be negative in char
acter. It must be constructive. It
must comprehend the general inter
est. The real antidote for the un-
rest which manifests itself IS not sup
preston, but q deep consideration Of
the wrongs that beset our national life
and the application Of . remedy.
