Yeiser volunteeered his services as the legal representative of these 20000 tracts but the court objected and at the request of the state in whose name the scavanger suits were brought ignored his answer In his brief Yeiser quotes from legal lore to show that he has a perfectly valid representative of the defaulters even though he appeared voluntarily Moreover he says his action has been ratified by the sanction of some 600 owners of the property affected by the decision He argues also that even though he had no right to ap pear there was no actual default THE GOVERNOR GREW WARM Said Some Plain Vords to a Railroad Man LINCOLN The railroads are the greatest barrier to the enforcement of the new revenue law in the state I am ashamed of you Why dont you pay your taxes Thousands of

This was among the things Gov ernor Mickey remarked to Tax Com missioner Pollard of the Burlington at a meeting of the State Board dl Assessment which was marked by several such conversational engage ments Mr Pollard came at the re quest of the board to assist in finding a way to distribute the valuation oi the various corporations of the Bur lington along the mileage in a manner that would be fair and just to all the towns along the lines The board desired to get Mr Pollard to allow it to take a line and value it from one town to another at a certain rate and then if the next division was of a higher or a lower valuation to change the assessment to correspond Mr Pollard however would not waive his right to go into court on this manner of assessment Instead he refused to say what he would do under the circumstances should the assessment not suit him Fined for Illegal Voting FAIRBURY After a two days ses sion here the grand jury called for the June term of district court foi

Serious Defects Acetylene Gas with Its Clear Unwavering Yet Soft Flame Cannot Hurt the Eyes Chicago June 20 No ere can go into our schools or meet a group of children on the street without noticing how large a number of them wear spectacles The tion seems to increase yearly and there are many more who ought to wear glasses The experience of one teacher might be duplicated by the score She knew Alice was inatten tive and she thought she was unusual ly stupid She said so to the principal and sent a note to the mother re questing that the child be helped at home if she wished her to keep up with her class One day after a black board explanation the teacher called upon the child and found that she had not seen what had been written She was kept after school and by dint of much sympathetic questioning Miss C found that Alice had never been able to see what was put on the board and that her head had ached so often and so hard that she frequently failed to hear what was said Such a condition may be caused by lack of proper food but in our Ameri can homes it is usually due to the poor quality of the artificial light The yellow insufficient light of the ordi nary kerosene lamp with its smoky chimney is about as bad for the eyes as can be imagined The flickering light from a coal gas jet is but little better and even the electric light brilliant as it usually is has an un steadiness due to variations in power and a glare peculiarly trying to the delicate nerves of sight The compar atively new illuminant acetylene gas produces as nearly perfect an artificial light as has yet been found It gives a clear whits unwavering light very brilliant yet perfectly soft and so nearly like the rays of the sun that even colors appear as in daylight Fortunately acetylene is very easily and cheaply produced and the simple apparatus necessary can be purchased and installed in any home at a very moderate cost and the acetylene can be piped to convenient points in the house where a light is needed It is then lighted and extinguished and used exactly like common city gas Acetylene is rapidly coming into common use in homes churches schools and institutions of all kinds and it is reasonable to expect that as its use in the home increases there will be fewer defective eyes particu larly among children Poor eyesight and the many ills resulting therefrom will undoubtedly be much reduced by the use of this new illuminant The average girl will allow hei mother to pick out a husband for her but when it comes to the wedding gown she generally asserts herself RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION At the biennial convention of the Order of Railway Conductors recent ly hold at Portland Oregon resolu tions were unanimously adopted voic ing their sentiments as to the effect of proposed railway rate legislation on the 1300000 railroad employes whom they in part represented These resolutions indorse the attitude ol President Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates and other illegalities and commend the attitude of the heads of American Railways who with practical unanimity have joined with the president on this question They then respectfully point out to Congress the inadvisability of legis lation vesting in the hands of a com mission power over railway rates now lower by far in the United States than in any other country because such regulation would result in litigation and confusion and in evitably tend to an enforced reduc tion in rates irrespective of the ques tion of the ability of the railroads to stand the reduction especially in view of the increased cost of their supplies and materials They further protest ed against such power being given to the present Inter State Commission because the proposed legislation is not in harmony with our idea of American jurisprudence inasmuch as it contemplates that a single body shall have the right to investigate indict try condemn and then enforce its decisions at the cost of the car riers pending appeal which is mani festly inequitable The conductors base their demand for only such legislation if any as would secure and insure justice and equity and preserve equal rights to all parties concerned on the ground that the low cost of transportation is the result of the efficiency of American railway management and operation which have built up the country through constant Improvement and development of territory while at the same time recognition has been given to the value of intelligence among em ployes in contrast to foreign methods where high freight rates and lowest wages to employes obtain In pressing their claim against leg islation adverse to their interests they point out the fact that the freight rates of this country average only two per cent of the cost of arti cles to the consumer thus making the freight rate so insignificant a factor in the selling price that numerous standard articles are sold at the same price in all parts of the country Society is a

Walters in his study on the various sanatoria for consumptives calls the open air life tho keynote of sanatorium treatment He further says that the patient instead of being kept In a carefully warmed room ven tilated from other parts of tho house according to the popular notions of old lives in the open air from morn ing till night at all seasons and in all weathers Lack of fresh air is the greatest predisposing cause of con sumption fresh air is the most po tent means of restoring him to health Now this prescription is very easy to carry out in dry climates such as those of Egypt the Alpine health re sorts South Africa or Colorado but it requires special arrangements and special precautions in a damp and rainy climate The credit of showing how this may be accomplished belongs mainly to Brehmenr Dettweiler and their followers The open air method may perfectly well be carried out in any climate which is healthy for those who are not consumptive As Leon Petit observes Here the climate may help the cure there it may hinder it butit only exerts a secondary influence on tho treatment 1 Moreover just as the pleasantest climates are not always those which are best for healthy people 2 so it may bo that the most pleasant clim ates for an out-of-door life where the air is warm and dry and little rain falls are not best for those consump tives who have later on to return to a less favored place It is bracing climates rather than warm and equ able ones which have the greatest in fluence in restoring the consumptive to health in all but exceptional cases For the open air treatment a four fold shelter should be provided against wind excessive cold extreme sun heat and rain Wind raises dust increases cough in consumptives and intensifies the chilling effects of cold The for eign sanatoria with few exceptions have both natural and artificial shelter against wind Cold within certain lim its is useful to the consumptive but it should be a windless cold and suit ed to the individual power of reac tion As damp intensifies the cli matic effect of both heat and cold the chilly consumptive will be able to withstand a lower temperature in a dry than in a humid climate Protec tion against rain and snow will seem to most people an obvious necessity although at Nordach rain is often dis regarded It is not enough to provide resting places in the sanatorium which are protected against rain At certain stages exercise is imperative and sheltered paths and open covered corridors are needed for exercise in rainy weather At Falkenstein there is such a corridor 200 feet long In places where the suns rays are very powerful as at Canigou in the Pyrenees direct exposure to the sun is found to increase the tendency to fever Even at Hohenhonnef on the Rhine which is not far south a large verandah has been provided which in hot weather can be artificially cooled by a stream of water Protectior against wind and weather is afforded in most santoria by large verandas which may be fitted with movable glass screens as the Adirondack Cot tage Sanatorium In our own climate it would be useful to have a veranda with a hollow floor which could be warmed as cold and damp can be more easily borne if the feet are kept warm Other simpler ways are the provision of hot bottles and warm clothing Recumbency also helps a chilly patient the blood circulating with less cardiac effort in this posi tion According to Dr Weicker and Dr Jacoby the recumbent position also favors the flow of blood to the apices of the lungs In most foreign sanatoria summer houses or sun boxes are also provided at Falken stein some of these can be rotated ac cording to the direction of the wind Dr Burton Fanning in his experi mental sanatorium near Cromer has modified the well known shelters of our seaside resorts by providing them with reversible glass screens 1 Loc cit p 49 2 Hermann Weber and Michael G Foster article in Allbutfs Syst of Med on Climate in the Treatment of Dis ease Stable and Conditions The condition and health of a horse says the National Builder de pend very much upon the kind of stable it is kept in There are horses which suffer from disease of the eyes from coughs from scratches and other skin diseases all of which are produced by the pungent foul air in the stables Farmers and others who have horses will take pains to keep their carriages and harnesses protect ed from the strong ammonical air of the stables lest the leather may be rotted or the varnish dulled and spot ted and at the same time they will wonder why their horses cough or have weak eyes or moon blindness or suffer from other diseases which if they would only think for a few min utes they would readily perceive are due to the foul air the animals are compelled to breathe every night in the year while confined in close badly ventilated stables The remedy is very easy The stable should be kept clean this will prevent the greater part of the mischief and it should be well ventilated The floor should be properly drained so that the liquid will not remain on it washed off at least twice a week with plenty of wa ter and then liberally sprinkled with finely ground gypsum plaster which will combine with and destroy the am- tfUNWULKHtixIMJ FRESH AIR TREATMENT Most Potent Means of Restoring Consumptive Patients to Health monia A solution of copperas sul phate of

drafts Small openings which may bo easily closed with a slide may be made In the outer wall near tho floor and similar ones near the celling or in tho roof through which the foul air can escape Pure air is of the utmost importance to the well being of horses Insomnia This very common condition Is most often due to six oclock dinners or eating in the evening To secure sound sleep no food should bo

used in their stoves for cooking and heat ing purposes The amount of wood rsed by a family during the long New Hampshire winters is something enor mous yet Mr Chapman goes out into the woodohed every day and saws al most enough to keep the parlor and bedroom stoves well supplied as well as to furnish what is needed for the kitchen Mr Chapman celebrated the 91st anniversary of his birth this week Though never robust Mr Chapmans physical powers are remarkably well preserved A day seldom passes irx which he fails to cut a little wood an exercise which he considers very beneficial In gcod weather he takes long walks His mind is alert and his memory very retentive He was born in Tamworth and in 1827 entered Phillips Exeter academy of which he is the oldest living gradu ate He was graduated from Dart mouth college in 1S35 and from And cver Theological seminary in 1839 For many years he was a teacher Since his retirement Mr Chapman has lived here devoting himself to genealogical research He has writ ten a number of family histories and contributed to secular genealogical and religious publications Exchange Why the Body Needs Water Someone has asked What would be the cause of death of a person who drank no water This subject has been studied considerably animals have been experimented upon and it is found that without water they lose their power to eliminate the naC ural poisons they must have water in order to eliminate them otherwise the secretions become too dense Without water the amount of urea which should be secreted becomes di minished and so with the other se cretions We need water not only to dissolve the food and carry it along but we need it to dissolve and carry out of the system the poisonous and worn out material of the body after it has served its purpose Water forms a circulating medium for carrying sub stances back and forth in the sys tem conveying nourishment to the various parts of the body bringing back the used up material and carry ing it out by way of excretory ducts The amount of water daily required is from two to three pints In very hot weather a larger amount is need ed as much water is lost by persplra tion If ones diet rnnsistc - the
