Mellon's Good ISeus. ■ Ghosts? Poison? ISo, a ‘ Bug. The Sun, Our Best Doctor. By ARTHUR BRISBANE v.-v_y Secretary Mellon of the treas ury, a financial genius well chosen by the president, tells you that business is good, manufacturers and railroads expanding their fa cilities. “Every blast furnace in the Pittsburgh district is blowing ior the first time in a number of years. The Carnegie Steel com pany is operating at 99 per cent of capacity. Other big plants are funning near a maximum.” That’s encouraging.now, and it comes from a man who under stands what he discusses. Lord Carnarvon is dead, deserv ing regret and honor. He spent well, for the education of the world, part of the great fortune that old Rothschild left to Lady Carnarvon, Rothschild’s adopted daughter. Romance attends such a death and breaks out in various ways. The native Egyptians are afraid to go near the tomb now, to continue their work. They think ancient poisons are there to kill intruders. Money will restore their courage. Conan Doyle, who sees spirits in stones and ghosts in the run ning brooks, is sure that ghosts de fending the old tomb caused the death of the English lord. What about those that have broken'into a thousand other tombs in Egypt, for a thousand years past? Why didntt they all die? Were the ghosts asleep? The bite of a poisonous insect, causing blood poisoning, followed by pneumonia, kilfed Carnarvon. Adrenalin injected into the tis sues of the heart has, undoubted ly, .revived those pronounced dead by surgeons, and tnat actually were dead, and would have stayed dead had not the adrenalin been in jected. Dr. Crile of Cleveland de serves the honor of this discovery. Adrenalin is extracted from small glands, one located above each of the kidneys, Those glands, of use unknown until recently, con trol the blood supply and the heart’s action. So great is their power that they can force a heart that has stopped to begin beating again. Science hasn’t reached the end of its journey. Of all c'tires, the best is sun shine. In a “sun sanitarium” in the Alps many cures of consump tion are reported. Children can be gured of the rickets by keeping them in the sun. Protect the top of the head, how ever, against actinic rays when the sun is hot. A hat, white'on the outside, black or dark green in side, is best. The happiest crea ture in the hot sun is a man with a black skin, wearing a white robe. The white keeps off the heat rays, the black skin keeps out the actinic rays. A real sun cure means walking in the sunshine naked, except for protection on the skull. Exposing the whole body to ’the sunlight causes blood pressure to fall. The breathing becomes deeper and slower; the amount of air inhaled j greater and the strain on the heart less.

By r. C. POWELL. NUff I orrmpuiulfn» Th* Omaha Bee. Lincoln, April 7.—The lower house ' listened today to -the plea of a man in the eve of life, who desired to in sure an education for every child and ! not force them to fight the embarrass ments and hardships he had experi- : enced from his confessed lack of edu- ^ cation. Jtepreeentatlve P. B. Neff of Knox county poured the etory into the ears of the house members. He also drew a picture many shuddered to hear of numerous schools In the shortgrnss country which cannot be kept open more than two and three months a year from lack of funds. The incident occurred when Knox made a motion that the house put a bill on general file which had been killed by the finance and aevenue committee, calling for a 5 per cent tax on tickets purchased for commer cialized amusement*. The money raised would go Into the ichools which, for lack of funds, are closed seven and eight months of the year. Mothers Ask Help. "You gentlemen go down to the! state superintendent's office and you’ll find letters by the dozen from mothers from the shortgrass pleading for funds for schools so their children won't be raised In Ignorance," Sett said. "Perhaps many of you don't know tile pangs that come to one who has gone through life lackgig a good edu cation. I can tell this story, because I am one of those unfortunates. "I determined my, children should have a good education. They have at j considerable cost to myself. "After they received their educa tion they reproved me for my gram mar. Now. my grandchildren ere re proving me for the same thing, and I am now in a position where I bate to get up and ‘alk because I am conscious all of the lime that my poor grammar Is noticeable.” Flowers for Speaker. Each day during the session, Rep resentative Neff has appeared in the house with a rose in his buttonhole, and a bo* of roses under his arms which he placed in a vase on the speaker's stand. "Gentlemen, do you know that in five years not one of you would pay out as much from this 5 per cent ta* as I have paid for these flowers. I know a lot, who have seen how earneetly X have fought <*> get this bill out of committee, think I am childish. "Hut, gentlemen, I don't believe that is it. All my life I wanted to provide Aneans for everyons to re ceive an education and this bill is the best solution I know'.” 1 The bill had many enemies. It Is not popular in the cities and large towns. Vote I* ( lose. The vote was close from start to 1 finish. "Thirty-sight to 38." the clerk an nounced. Everyone's eyes were on Neff. His fare was white, his hands clenched. Representative Mitchell arose. "I will change my vote to aye," j Mitchell said. Those for an against the bill ap plaued. Neff arose and thanked the mem bership. The bill has a rocky row ahead. It must be advanced and passed through third reading in the house and must1 go through the same formula In the senate.' Railroad Freight Bill Is on File in Senate Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. I.lncoln, April 6.—Over tl>« objec tions of the railway committee, a. F. 260 hy Kickard ntid Meacham, which reduced car load freight rates In Ne braska a flat 15 per cent until the rallw-ay commission shall authorise specific Increase!, was placed on gen eral file In the senate. Kickard made a talk in defense of the hill In which he said the Burling ton earning! in Nebraska In 1921 were 7.85 per cent. He called attention to the hardships which present rates are working on farmers especially, and buainaaa generally. The 'bill was attacked by Cooper, Hastlnga and Chamber, who declared it would be ‘‘futile" legislation as the federaj supreme court has ruled tlvit Intrastate ratea must conform to In terstate rates, and all regulatory power Is now in the lianda of the interstate commerce and state rail way commissions. Sixteen members voted for the bill and 13 against It on roll call. Salary Bill Pa*scd. S'ptrlal Dispatch Is Ths Omaha Sw. I.lncoln. April 6.—The state senate passed If.

Senate Bill Validates Bank Taxes of 1922 Special Dispatch to The Omahu Bee. ! Elncolp. April 6.-Minute File 230. j which validates the 1922 bank taxes, was passed in the tipper chamber Fri I day. The bill was sent through in ! spite of the opinion of the attorney I general that legislation cannot bring about the collection of 750,000 assess ed /or 1922. The tax was declared un i constitutional by the Nebraska su preme court. Senator C. 15. Anderson, explaining his stand said: 1 "I venture to say that there is not a member of the legislature but would make the effort to collect this money if he were advised that the test could be made with an expenditure not to exceed a few hundred dollars with $750,000 involved. ••The worst, thing that can happen is that such an effort will be made and fail. Even from that standpoint tlio satisfaction of haviqg mude the effort and placing at rest all question of the motives which prompt the in divldua^.niembers of the legislature to act willbe money well spent.” State Rail Body Opposes Cut in Appropriations Commission Replies to Gov ernor Bryan, Explaining Duties and Pfeading for Support. SlWfial Dispatch to The Omslie Bee. Lincoln, April 6.—In reply to a statement made by Governor Bryan In his recommendation that the ap propriation for the state railway coin nitssion be slashed. Members Kandall, Browne and Taylor of that body is sued the following statement: "Tha statement that the Nebraska ccmmmsion has htjen shorn of ltspow ers over railroad rates Is erroneous, as coukl be readily* ascertained hy anyone in a brief time. It is bot tomed on a wartime condition that has long since disappeared. The In terstate Commerce commission has made no rates in Nebraska for more than two years, while the state com mission has issued about 200 orders. In very few instances In that time have increases, however slight, been approved. No good can come to ship pers of the state by urging a further extension of federal rate-making pow ers in the state. That fact Is so welt recognized that state commissions are becoming Increasingly active In determination of interstate transpor tation matters. The proof Is ample to anyone who desires to Inquire. Service Takes Time. “Railroad service matters are only second in Importance to the level of the rates. Jhey have always taken as much time of the commission ns have rates. The public can have no place to appeal In these matters ex cept to the commission or to the l'gis lnture. In a very large proportion of the town* and communities there Is. and can be. no competition In rail road rates and servlcs, and there must he regulation. "Perhaps the public would be better off if prices of everything were back to prewar levels. The same factors that prevent the Iinra|dtate return In private business und* the most freo competition have prevented a mere rapid readjustment of rates by tha commission. Help Phone Companies. "No doubt the comm lesion could have, by use of the very great power of the atate, bankrupted most of the 200 Independent telephone companies , ■>f the atate. The large corporations know fully their constitutional right* and can defend them; the smaller ones have not the capacity to fight, no mat ter now severe the commission might be. The commission has no apologies to make for treating all equitably who must rely on this body for permission to do that which both constitution and law give them the ultlmvte right to do. Even so. economic eon<*’**ona are such that a Urge number of tele phone companies of the state are earning nothing on their Investments. "Unorganized shippers have no , other place to seek relief than the commission which handles both state and interstate matters without cost to complainants. That ia the intent of the law. It cannot be done with out resources. No Iatvva Repealed. "The legislature has repealed none of the laws which the commission has to enforce, nor hns It restricted the , duties. The proposal to strike down the working machinery of the com | mission will serve only to congest business and render It Impossible to give citizens Ihs prompt consideration their matters deserve. “Nebraska hns fer years been one of the most get lye states In matters of railroad regulation and has se cured results second to none. These is food for thought In the fact thst In the sister states in thla great agricul tural territory Increnaing financial support Is being given to the state commissions and In none other than Nebraska ha* the theory been ad vanced of iurrenalng efllrtency by re ducing appropriations and dcst.nvlng meriting machinery aa Is pr -posed In the governor's budget."

N|»t'-lal llinpstrh to The Oji i’u fire. I.incoln, April 7.—The lower house, niter four days *of strenuous labor, completed consideration of the blanket appropriation bill. When completed. appropriations were $217,060 more than recommend ed by the finance committee, but still more htan $250,000 less thnn the governor's recommendations. Speaker Mathers ruled today that for specific activities were more than those recommended by the governor, and under the rules. It will be neces sary to get a HO per cent vote of the total mernbey^iip to pass the appro priations in excess of the governor's recommendations. Separate Voles Ordered. Speaker Mathers ruled today that the house wodld not vote upon the bill as a whole as the appropriation bloc hoped. Instead, under the speak er's rulings, each appropriation in excess of the governor's recommenda tion will be voted separately. The appropriation bloc bad made desperate efforts to get the speaker to rule that tlio vote should be taken on the bill as a whole. If the speak er had accepted appropriation bloc's suggestion, It would have insured passage /of numerous increased appro priations, as many members would have voted to pass the bill, rather than go through the weeks of toil necessary to prepare a second one. Will Vote Tuesday. Before consideration of the bill was completed, the house voted against a motion Of Keifer to insert $200,000 for eradication of bovine tuberculosis.
