Bailie Creek
nattta Creek! What uirmorlea that
name conjure up monionen of oilier
day oven the pioneer days, whun tho
redmon of the northern Ink legion
twnt tho bow nnd smeured Iholr faces
with koHl braided their flowing locks
with fonthcrs of tho iwrcuplno and
.wjlfi eagle, that they might appear
wore wild. If possible, than before.
And nn l hey painted tho chooks nnd
braided tho hair, tho squnw-womon
sharpened the flint nrrow heads and
shaped now bows, that their lords
might do Itnttlo to tho death with
other rod men.
And here at Battle Creek, way up
In Michigan, a front battlo one day'
Old occur, and when It was over, and
the Run kissed tho range to tho far
west, tho tom-toms were muffled nnd
Che qtinw-womoii wrapped their head
In varl'colored blnnucts nnd wept, for
with tho going down of tho bud, many
braves passed to tho proverbial happy
limiting grounds,
But that was many, many moons
ago, ns the Indians measure time, nnd
a now em has long since dawned.
True, It in "Battlo Greek" to-day, Just
us It was decades ago, but, Instead of
the cry of tho Bavago, Is heard the
liinn'of industry; tho throb of life!
tho greeting of men and women of
tho Anglo Saxon race tho shouts of
happy boys and girls, who kh6w of
Battlo Creek's former history only
by tradition. And hero on tho site
of tho famous battle between tho rod
men stnnds now one or tho fairest
cities of tho great "Northwest: a city
nought out among thousands, for In It
dwell, month after month, na tho
3 ears como and go, men nnd women
who And within tho charmed circle
thnt which they have long sought else
where health.
When one speaks ot health, tho
mind nntuinlly wings Itself to Battle
Creek, for up there health Is to ho
found as at few other places on earth.
Forty jears ago there began In Uat
tlo Creek a teturn to nature move
ment, wllh purposes nnd prlclnples In
many respects similar to thoso which
led to the famous "Brook Farm Exper
iment" twenty years heforo and to '.bo
flrahamlte movement of that period.
This moxement, while religious, wnt
avowedly non-seclnrlan, and was In a
broad sense philanthropic, nltruiBtlc
nnd reformatory. The Immodlato re
sults wero the establishment of a
monthly Journul now known ns Good
Health nnd shortly afterwards the
erection of a health Institution called
The Health Reform Institute." Tho
chief features of the Institute at this
early period wero diet reform, drobs
reform nnd the uso of water as a cura
tive agent. '
In 1S7C. tho present management
look charge of tho institution and with
tho consent and co-operation of tho
Hoard of Directors (tho Institution
haying been incorporated ten years
before), a thorough reorganization was
sffocted. Broader" plans wero Intro
duced, tho methods of treatment wero
placed upon a substantial and thor
oughly sclentlflo foundation, and tho
name was changed to tho Battle Creek
Sanitarium. Since this timo the
growth of tho Institution has been con
stant and rapid.
From year to year accommoda
tions for patients nnd facilities for
treatments wero enlarged to meet
tho Increasing paironago until Feb
ruary, 1902, when a great flro swept
away tho two principal build
ings of the establishment. Tho erec
tion of a new building was speedily
begtiu, nnd tho following year, May 31,
1503, the present fireproof main build
ing, erected at a cost of moro than
SGOll.ODO, was dedicated. Tho cost of
tho entire establishment, Including
equipment, twenty dormitories, cot
tages ami other buildings has amount
d to moro than $1,200,000.
The-'Battle. Creek Sanitarium ns It
stands today is Vccognlzed tho world
over as tho met completo and thor
oughly equipped establishment of Its
orl and tho headquarters for physio
logic therapeutics or natural methods.
Connected with tho Sanitarium Is a
Training School for Nurses, In which
from two to thrco hundred nurses are
wxmstantly tinder trninlng.
These principles nnd methods havo
penetrated to tho remotest parts of
the, civilized world, and scores of men
and women who liavo been trained in
these methods nre devoting their fives
to medical missionary work In heathen
lands. '
Tho Battlo Creek Sanitarium may bo
regarded as an opltomo of tho "return-to-nature"
Idea In practical operation,
Us success In tho restoration of sick
people to health brings to It annually
many thousands of men and women,
many of whom havo been pronounced
incurable, but who, nevertheless, with
rare exceptions, return a few months
later to their homes prepared to enter
again upon tho battlo of life.
Thero aro many sanitariums in tho
world, but few. If any, that axo con
ducted on tho same piano as that at
Battle Creek. This haven of rest and
health is In no sense a money-making
6cheme, and every cent that is
made from patients w.ho nro able to
Tiay for their accommodations Is used
to help those who havo nothing but
broken health. All over this country,
nd even beyond the seas, branch in
sjUtuUouH aro springing up creepers
xrom the mother plant at Battle
Creek. Ono point In view Is down on
Slate street, in the center of the me
troiwlls ot the Middle West, Chicago,
where hundreds of the city's poor are
cared for as tenderly as If in tho par
nt Institution at Battlo Creek.
In a few brief paragraphs ono can
tell but little ot the good work of the
Ilattle Creek Sanitarium, but a postal
card will bring pamphlets that will
tell all all except tho knowledge ob
tained by actual experience, and that
experience must bo had at Battlo
Sanitarium:
Crwk to bo appreciated to Its full
worth.
TblK institution at Battle Crook wna
not built up in a day It took years
of toll to ranch the porfected state,
and tho work has but bogun tho great
work ls to come from rUlng genera
tions who nro Imbibing ideas from tho
Battlo Crtck home, and what It standg
for.
For Three Decades.
Fcr moro than tltfeo decades tho
present Institution has been tho
center of a wonderful educa
tional, philanthropic and reform
movement which has Anally culmin
ated In success undreamed of a few
years ngo, and In this connection a
brief history Is most opportune. In
February, 1902, tho two main buildings
of tho Sanitarium wero destroyed by
fire. For a short tlmo the days wero
dark for those who had worked so
hard to build It up. But strong hearts
nro not to bo nwed by misfortune,
nnd n new building sprung from tho
ashen upon tho old site.
Tho dedication took placo May 31,
nnd Juno 1, 1903. An elaborate pro
gram was cnrrled out and mnny men
of natlonnl repututlou made speeches
and highly complimented tho managers
end their co-workera on their good
work. Invitations wero sent to nil
patieuts, rich nnd poor, who had over
been at tho Sanitarium. Many re
sponded In person, nnd hundreds sent
letters of regret.
Ono of tho prettiest sights In con
nection with tho wholo event was tho
procession ot nurses and matrons
which formed on the college grounds,
opposite tho now Sanitarium building,
nnd marched through the nudlenco to
reserved seats at tho right And left
of tho speakers' stand. Tho matronB
In their usual cream white uniform,
the nurses In bluo and white, and tho
gentlemen nurses clad in now white
duck suits presented a sight which
moved tho nudlenco to ono simultan
eous burst of applause.
Sanitary Ideas. '
As before stated thero aro many
sanitariums In tho world, but nono
Just llko that at Battlo Creek, it being
tho first of tho kind, so far ns known,
where an attempt has been made, and
crowned with success, to bring to
gether In ono placo and under one
management all rational healing
agencies, giving special prominence
to those physiological or natural heal
ing ngents tho scicntlAc knowledgo of
which has been chiefly developed
within tho lust century, especially
hyprothcrapy, electrotherapy, mas
sago, exorcise, diet, sunlight, mental
and moral Influences, rest, and gen
eral health culture.
Of course tho first thing to bo taken
Into consideration was tho construc
tion of tho building to be occupied,
for much depended upon that. But
after It had been discussed pro and
con n plan entirely satisfactory was
adopted and tho structure to-day plays
no small part In tho healing process
that goes on from day to day at
Battlo Crock.
A Return to Nature Movement.
Tho philosophy ot tho Battlo Creek
Sanitarium may bo defined as tho re-turn-to-nature
idea. Tho doctors teach
tho uso of natural food., natural life,
tho uso of natural agent In the treat
ment of disease. A great amount of
attention Is given to dietetics. Fruits,
nuts and nut preparations, cereal foods
and easily dicestlblo vegetables aro
tho basis for tho delicious menus
which nro dally served In tho great
Sanitarium dlulng room, at which sit
down hundreds of intelligent men and
women from all parts of tho United
States and even from foreign coun
tries. Milk, eggs and other dairy prod
ucts aro also freely used. Great caro
is takon to piovldo the very best and
choicest of over-ythlng edible, of which
the physicians approve.
During tho year which has Just
closed a vast amount of tbeso things
wero required to provldo for tho nrmy
of patients who visited tho sanitarium,
for soveral thousand sufferers housed
thero during tho twelve months of
1904. As to tho cxptuso for tho past
year It was considerable, amounting to
a total of ?327,1S9.99, dlvldod as fol
lows: Nut foods, DO tons, f26.768.S0;
cereal foods, 101,991 pounds, $9,521.19;
bread, C5.02C pounds, J2.C57.43; canned
goods, 3.C99 cases, $G06.65; fruit
Juices, etc., mado on tho place, 11,430
gallons, $2,030.90: fresh fruit, C.783
bushels, $10,203.-10 ; vegetables, 5,137
bushels, $3,693.20; sundry grocery
Items. 41,558 pound. $3,39G.3S; eggs,
25,301 dozen, 6,7S?.65; butter, mado

57,366 quarts, $1,692.40; coal, 5,714
tons, $20,000.00; labor, $213,553.59;
total. $327,189.99.
Tho amount ot charity dispensed
during tho past ten years at this
sanitarium nmountoJ to $585,610.
To caio for tho patients an average of
723 men and 'woman wero employed
during each year, aud an average ot
550 patients nro under treatment at
this sanitarium every day In the year.
Wo have given our readers only a
brief glance at tho workings of this
unique establishment. Another nrticlo
would bo required to give something
of tho details of tho dally routine of a
guest at the Sanitarium, and of the
methods which havo given to this in
stitution its world-wide roputation as a
Mecca for sick folks.

WASHINGTON The sennto has
laid out an extended program for It

plan Monday nnd Tuesday will bo
given over nlmost entirely to tho
statehood bill. Wednesday tho sen
ate will proceed to tho hall of repre

statehood bllls will be displaced tem
porarily to permit the managers of
tho Swayno impeachment trial to
present tho replication ot the houso
of representatives to Judge Swnyne's
answer In tho proceedings against
him, but It Is not expected that they
will consume much time. Appropria
tion bills will occupy the lm'lauce of
tho tlmo during the week.
The republican steering committee
hns decided that th pure food bill
shall became 'the unfinished business
nrter tho disposal of the stntehood
bill, hut it Is not believed that much
if any tlmo will bo found this week
for Its consideration.
Tho agricultural appropriation U
now under consideration and will con
tinue to ho discussed as opportunity

statehood bill out of the way, tho pol

Swayno trial will bo permitted to

In accordance with tho unanimous
agreement reached tho stntehood bill
nnd all amendments offered to It will

The contest over some of tho
amendments to the bill will bo sharp
nnd may continue the session into

Railroad rate legislation is to have
tho right of way In tho" house of rep

ing tho bill giving tho Interstate Com
merce commission power to fix rates
a special order during sessions which
nro to begin an .our earlier than

may como from tho minority devel
oped lu tho republican conference
Friday, ns well as from the democrats
of tho house. If tho two should unlto

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Immediately
after enting a room In a cheap lodg
ing houso with a young woman heav
ily veiled', Hev. C. K. Bentley of Lin
coln, Neb., dropped dead in this city
Sunday night. His companion at:
tempted to restoro him, but, seeing ho
was dying, fled. Detectives have been
unablo to find her. An autopsy re

Rev. Bentley and his wife had been

for president on tho silver prohibition
ticket In 189G, and hns been promi
nent In temperanco work In Iowa and
Nebraska.
Tho woman with whom ho entered

band was innocent of wrong. Sho
says ho has boon mulcted with heart

At a meeting of executive officers the

No Evaiion c. Decision Fte'atlve
Thereto.
WASIirNOTON ft can bo nald by
authority that union the corporations
count ltui Ins th Alleged "beef trust"
shnll heed ihn Injunction made per
manent by Hie decls'on ot the su
premo point of tho United States, the
government Will Institute, proceedings
against tho Individual members of tho
corporations to enfjreo the decision
of tho court.
Tho proceeding will bo under the
criminal law, if such 01111 bo Innt-tuted.
The minds of the president nnd mem
bers of his cabinet are made up fully
on tho question. They have deter
mined that the "beef trust" shall obey
the law, and now that the highest
court In tho Inntl hns upheld the
hands of tTio administration, It Is
said (hey will permit no further
"dilly-dallying" with the subject.
At Tuesday's cabinet meeting tho
president nnd Attorney General
MoodJ' shared In the congratulations
of tho members of the cabinet on tho
lesult of the "beer trust" cases be
fore the supreme court.
Tho president, who mado no at-
tempt to conceal his satisfaction at
the decision of the court, united with,
the members of the cabinet In con
gratulating the attorney general. The
subject was considered hrlefly-at tho
meeting, but no dofinlto conclusion
was reached ns to what action, if
any, tho government would take in
the future, except tho general deter
mination to enforce tho law as it has
been construed by the courts. The
president and the members of the cab
inet regard tho decision of the supremo-
court as a fIkiiiiI triumph of
law as they have viewed It and aro
prepared to entry It Into effect abso
lutely. All the members ot tho cabinet
were present at the meeting except
Secretaries Hay and Wilson, tlfo far
mer still being confined to bis home
by a severo cold.
Again, tho president emphasized
his Intorest In the arbitration treaties
pending before the senate. Ho holds
that the opponents of tho treaties aro
proceeding on wrong premises In
maintaining that they may bo used
by foreign countries us a basis fur ac
tion agaiiiFt certain of tho southern
states In the collection of old claims.
Soino departmental matters wero
considered at the meeting, tho most
Importnnt of which was the action of
Post muster Gomral Wynne In notify
ing John G. Capers, republican na
tional committeeman of South Caro
linn, that postmasters in that stav
will bo illrmlBBcil from tho service if,
in tho future, they pay the expenses
of delegates to political conventions.
Tho action of tho postmaster general
wa3 approved by the president and
tho cabinet. In principle tho declara
tion of Mr. Wyuno will apply to all
other states where diich methods aro
practiced.
FAILS TO FIT CASE.
HouBe Bill on Railroad Rates Thought :
To B; Faulty.
WASHINGTON Congressman Hln
shaw called at tho white houso to con
fer with President Roosevelt on mat
ters pertaining to the Fourth Nebras
ka district aud also to measures pend
ing liefcio tho house relating to sub
jects .if legislation of imramuunt pub- ,
He interest. Incidentally, the talk turn
ed upon tho bill whloh Mr. Townsend
introduced in the house January 31, :
providing for additional pov.trs to bo
vested In the Interstate commerce
commission. Mr. HliiKhnw expressed !
tho opinion that while tho Townsend '
bill would meet the public demand for ,'
u bolter regulation of railroads rites, .
it does not go fur enough, and since
that bill will bo considered by the
houso within a few days, Mr. llinshaw ,
desired to learn whether Its provisions
would be satisfactory to the adminis
tration. Tho president, however, did
not express approval or disapproval of
the Townsend bill, but Mr. llinshaw
left tho whlto houso with tho Impres
sion thut the president would llko to
tho present session enact a law em
powering tho Interstate commerce
commission to fix rates, to prevent
discrimination between shippers, to
abolish Tirivnto car lines, and to give
tho commission authority to enforce
its decrees.
Mr. Hlnshaw Is of opinion that
nothing short of such legislation
would satisfy his constituents, but lie
is not at nil sanguine that the senate
would pass such a bill while it Is not '
yet settled that the house will do so.

GENERAL OKU'S HEADQUAR
TERS The Russian attempt to turn
General Oku's left flank hns proved a
complete failure. Following on tho
failure or the recent cavalry raid
down the railway this. It is thought
by tho Jnpanese, will probably Induce
tho Russians to await In tho future
Japanese attacks. Tho attempt, even
with the bombardment of other por
tions of the line or 11 cavalry move
ment around tho flank, was doomed
to failure from tho start. Tho Ja
panese were at Helkoutal, but with
drew Its small forco from there nnd
allowed tho Russians to occupy tho
Pv.dtlons until they could move over
enough men to make Us recapture
certain.
The reoccupallon of this position
was easily accomplished, although
tho loss was heavy. Tho casualties
have not yet been reported, but it 13
believed that" they will nmount to
fully 3.000.
The Russians had five divisions en
gaged at He koutal and In that direc
tion. They wero driven back by less
than two Jnpanese divisions.
Over 100,000 men were engaged in
the RusElan demonstration against
the Japanese positions Immediately
east of Helkoutal, n forco strong
enough io have been successful, ns
but one Jnpaneso division was sent
against them. Tim Russian loss is
ostlmnted at over 4,000, although
prisoners say that ono regiment was
practically annihilated. Tho Japan
ese loss is placed at only 200, due to
the fact that they remained In their
trenches"' while the Russians wero
forced to cross open ground, solidly
frozen, where the construction of
shelter trenches was Impossible. The
ground being covered with snow, was
naturally a great disadvantage to the
attacking force, ns It was plainly
visible ngalnst the white back
ground for a long distance. The Ja
panese suffered the same disadvan
tages in tho recapture of Helkoutal.
The weather was very cold during
the fighting, the minimum being (i
degrees below zero, and tho maxi
mum 14 degrees abovo zero. Tho
Russians did not retreat north, but
retired, well out of range, with no
sign of further activity.

MEANS MUCH FOR OMAHA. ,
Proposition to Make It General Dis
tributing Point for Supplies.
WASHINGTON There Is pending
in the war office a proposition to raise
Omaha to tho importance of n general
distributing point for qiiartcrmactor's
supplies. It is now the distributing
station for army supplies destined to
military, posts within the department
of tho Missouri. The recent comple
tion of tho new addition to tho quar
termaster's supply depot waieliouse In
Omaha has rrovided ample space for
the landlliig of a much larger ton
nage. It Is understood that there aro
but thrco general supply depots In
tho United States, viz., New York", San
Francisco and Jefiersonvllle, Ind tho
latter station having been established
during tho civil war and maintained
largely because of tradition. The de
velopment of the west in the matter
of transportation facilities has given
rise to a demnnd for a general supply
station ill tho mid-west. Omaha's
claims to this new distinction havo
been advocated by Senator Millard,
who recently took tho matter up with
General C. F. Humphrey, quartermas
ter general of tho army. General
Humphrey was for a long time sta
tioned nt Omaha as chief quartermas
ter f the department of tho Platto
and is personally conversant with tho
situation, as he Is, of course, with tho
needs of tho service in every part of
tho United States. Senator Millard
feels confident that be will havo the
good will of General Humphrey in tho
effort to enhance tho Importance of
Pniulia as a supply station. Succctv?
in this matter would, of course, en
able tho wholesale merchants and
manufacturers of Nebraska to bid on
n variety of army supplies for use
throughout the United States and tho
Philippines, and no doubt they would
tecelvo largo contracts. It Is posslblo
that an net of congress may bo neces
sary to bring this nbout, but Senator
Millard is in hopes that it can be
done by order of tho secretary of war.

A FALLOW FEELING.
Why She Felt Lenient Towards tho
Drunkard.
A great deal depends on tho point of
view. A good temperanco woman waa
led, In a very peculiar way, to revise
her somewha!, Darph Judgment of tho
poor devil who cannot resist his cups
and sho Is now tho moro charitable.
Sho writes:
"For many years I was a great suf
ferer from asthma. Finally my health
got so poor that I found I could not Ua
down, but walked tho floor whilst oth
ers slept. I got so nervous I could not
rest anywhere.
"Specialists told, mo I muibt give up
the use of coffeo-ho main thing thnt
I always thought gave mo some relief.
I consulted our family physician, and
he. being a coffee fiend himself, told
mo tp pay no attention to their ad
vice. Coffee had such a charm for mo
that In passing a restaurant and get
ting a whiff of tho fragrance 1 tfould
not resist a cup. I felt very lenient
towards tho drunkard who could not
pass tho saloon. Friends often urged
mo to try Postum, but I turned a deaf
ear, saying, 'Thnt may do for'people to
whom coffeo is harmful, but not for
me coffeo and I will never part.'
"At laBt, however, I bought a pack
ago of Postum, although I wa3 sure 1
could not drink it. I prepared It as
directed, and served it for breakfast.
Well, bitter-as I was against it. I
must say that never heforo had I
tasted a moro delicious cup of coffee!
From that day to this (moro than two
years) I havo never had a deslro for
tho old coffee. My health soon re
turned; tho asthma disappeared, I be
gan to sleep well and in a short time
I gained 20 pounds In weight.
"One day I handed my physician
the tablets ho hnd prescribed for mo.
telling him I had no use for them. Ho
stayed for dinner. When I passed him
his coffee cup ho remarked: 'I am gladi
to seo you wero sensible enough not
to let yourself be persuaded that coffeo
was harmful. This is tho host cup o
coffee I over drank.' he continued;
'tho troublo is so few peoplo know
how to make good coffee. When ho
got his second cup I told him ho was
drinking Postum. Ho was incredu
lous, but I convinced him, and now ho
uses nothing but Postum in his homo)
and has greatly Improved In health'"3
