And If wo digested moro lemons nnd less taffy , wo could dls- penso with thu services of some of our doctors of law and divinity. Aviator McCurdy Is to lly from a steamship llfty miles nt sen. This bug gents n convenient way for many pas sengers who desire to get out nnd walk on account of sea sickness. The aviators can't agree over that goddess of liberty flight. They have not got near enough to heaven so that they Imvo escaped the universal hu man passion for hanging , drawing and quartering tlio umpire. The postofllco department threatens to suspend tlio rural mall service on roads which aie too bad for comfort able travel. This might bo an effective fectivo incann of getting them put in better shape. As wo get a new generation of voters ers every thirty yearB , n democratic congress occasionally as an object les son IB needful , particularly as nine- tenths of the people never rend the history books. The trouble wltn the now national ism as a political bill of faro , was that the voters under the Fletcher Ideas of digestion wanted time for thirty chows on each mouthful , in stead of the thing at one gulp. The voluminous puffs worn by a young lady wore credited by the phy sicians with saving her from a frac tured skull when she fell down sU-.irs , It Is enlightening to the public tc know why the things are worn. Ol course , as life preservern they ma > be of great value. The military appropriations during Mr. Roosevelt's second term amount ed to $1,454,3.7.GGS which was more than the value of all the gold , sllvei and other metals , oils nnd minerals Including coal nnd petroleum for the year 11)08. ) Suppose this vast sum which was put Into machinery which Is never likely to be used , before it will bo obsolete , had' been spent lr the development of the country , In proper housing for the poor of the cities , in good toads or n thousand dif ferent ways \\hore it would have been a permanent benefit to mankind. What might not have been accomplished ? A great iinptovement Is discernible in the people of Porto Rico since it came under American control. Ignor ance , Idleness and poverty were thor well nigh universal. Eighty-three In every hundred inhabitants were tin able to read or write and a conditior similar to the slum districts in great cities everywhere prevailed. During the last decade school attendance hat quadrupled , population has made a gain of 16 portent and wealth an in crease of 22 percent , but there Is stil great room for improvement. Tin land is only ha'f ' of It cultivated and with a dense cultivation the entire possible production is needed to sup port the people in comfort. President David Starr Jordan al leges that wo ourselves and all the world's inhabitants are paying now ir Increased cost of living for the wan "of the. last decade and a half. With In a > period of seven years the world witnessed three expensive wars , the Spanish war , the Bour war and the Mauchurlan war. These three burnec up capital measured by the billions of dollars. They also consumed 2 great deal of toclal energy. The na lions whose boldiers did the flghtlnj Buffered the sacrifice of lives , bul those nations did not alone foot tlu bills. The capital of the world is now international. The money market ol one continent is quickly affected bj that of the other. We are all paying day by day thare war bills. ANOTHER HOSPITAL CHARGE. J. A. Hayes of Antelope county , foi a short time an inmate of the Norfolk insane hospital but recently being dls charged as cured , makes the charge 1 according to the Tilden Citizen , thai | "much brutality is practised by the attendants tondants at the asylum" and is of the opinion "that nny sane man , compelled to spend a few months at the instltu tlon , would become demented from the excessive cruelty of those who arc paid by the Mate to administer hu mane treatment to those under theii care. " This is a horious charge that Mr , Hayes makes. It is so serious that It should bo investigated by Governor Shallenborger and , if found true , fol lowed by punifihmont of the guilty. II untrue , then the Institution should be cleared of the charge. Mr. Hayes plionld be more specific In his accusations. If conditions arc ns bad as ho suggests , it Is his duty as a citizen to make formal complaint to the state authorities. A Japanese inventive genius has prepared a device for discounting gar rulity In Its legislative speakers. A trap Is arranged Immediately beneath the spot where speakers stand to ad dress the house , beneath which is n receptacle Into which the members who have had enough of the particular titylo of oratory dealt In by the speak er , can roll n llttlo lead ball , with which nil the members are to bo pro vided , through a tube , loading under the floor from each member's seat to the trap upon which the speaker stands. When a certain number of legislators have voted "enough" by depositing their leaden balls It re quires more than half the number of the full house the trap descends auto matically carrying the speaker with it. No point of order is necessary all Is silence and do eoruin. The will of parliament has been registered with out wuste of time * , the nbstrnctor dis appears from Mew and better yet from sound. This seems to us to be a great Invention for conserving the time and temper of congressmen , and we think n machine of this kind should be Im mediately installed In the congression al halls In Washington. It would be Hire to attract a crowd to see the "grand disappearing net" , too. AS TO COUNTY OPTION. The fact that Nebraska elected a republican governor and state ticket , and a democratic legislature , might seem queer to an outside observer , unacquainted with the situation. The result can have but one meaning. The only possible interpretation of such an election is that the people chose Aid- rich and the republican state ofllcials because they had moro confidence in them than in Dahlnmn and the ticket named by the democrats , without re gard to county option , and that they chose a democratic legislature because they were not enthusiastic over coun ty option. The lawmnking body has thus been made very close on the option issue , while the other officers j have been selected because of their superior fitness for the responsibil ities involved , us compared with Dahl- man and his ticket. The News pointed out In advance I that there was moro involved in the governorship than county option. The legislature is 't , nere the county option was more of a real issue. Apparently the voters took this view and chose the republican state ticket without re gard to option , voting for democratic lawmakers with county option In mind. CALMER AFTER-ELECTION VIEW. It is fortunate that neither party is so black and futile as the opposing orators try to prove in the campaign melee. Some people are always cher ishing the dream , too , that some day the good men will all got together in one party , and bring ori a day of stainless political purity. Good and evil are Inextricably mixed , nnd such alignment is not likely before the judgment day. There is so much amiable folly , that most people tlo up with sclllsh men who have some common sense , rather than with spotless dreamers without tact and feasibility. Political panics rather are grouped around differences of temperament as to the scope of government , and the choice between economic theories. Each party contains plenty of good men and of good business men. How ever wrong-headed the leaders , each must satisfy this conservative senti ment to retain power. THE CRIPPEN CASE. Were wo a little too eager to give credit to the English for the speed with' which their courts act in crlml- 'nal cases ? Without proving that the 'dead body found In ; tbo Crlppen cellar was. that of his wife'or e'vep ! that it was the body of a woman , an English jury , after a four days trial , deliber ated thirty minutes ' and convicted Crlppon of murder , sentencing him to Imng within a month. The 'higher court denied appeal and Crlppen Is now doomed to bo hanged November 23. Rumors sprang up later that Belle Eimore , his actress wife whom ho said had run away with another man , was allvo In America and a Canadian town was startled by the belief that Belle Elmoro was actually In the community. The theory of our law Is that it were better for ninety- nine men to go free than for one Innocent man to bo hanged. There's a good deal of lax justice in tills country , but the possibilities of the Crlppen case suggest that there maybe bo such a thing as too quick action , too. THE REFERENDUM BALLOT. A glance at the yards and yards of ballot used at the recent election in South Dakota , where the Initiative and referendum prevails , Is enough to make oven the most ardent referen dum supporters skeptical over the practical results of such a plan. To a casual observer it would ap pear that not one man In fifty would over read the great quantity of flno print on the ballots , giving the laws that are to be decided upon. And surely not one man In a hundred could glvo the time and thought for Intelligent Investigation that a vote upon such a proposition should re quire. It has been proved that In a Nebras ka primary campaign , whore a multi tude of candidates nro.to bo voted on , the average voter will bo acquainted with but a very few and will vote the balance of tlio ticket on the hit or miss plan. It may bo Imagined how much more of an uninformed vote might bo cast upon propositions so complex as lawn. In modern uiitdnoss , the specialist IB permitted 'to do the Important things becmifcu he can do thorn better than the jack of all tunics. The manager of a big corpon.tlon will hire special ly tialncd men to do their various vvoik , nnd will hold them responsible for the results. The man who at tempts to tak" care of the multitude of details , soon finds himself swamped nnd nothing Join. ' as It should be. It's a good deal the same In the referendum ballot. The average citi zen under our present system employs specialists to rmko the lawa men who have titnij to concentrate their attention upon the Intricate proposi tions arising. It Is dlfllcult to Imag ine how Intelligent legislation can arise from submitting a mass of tech nical reading 'mutter to the voter for decision. Tin ; voter hasn't the time and won't take the time , In the aver age case , to intelligently cast his bal lot upon thceu propositions. AROUND TOWN. What do you do for a cold ? Ely got there that time. If there should chance to be any neckties for Christmas , let them be red. Our idea of the height of allluence is three handkerchiefs a day when you have n cold. No matter how much of a crowd they have , football teams always seem able to make ends meet. "Barring unfavorable weather , " the paving people say , "Norfolk avenue will bo paved this fall. " That's what everybody's been saying all along. A woman In Norfolk Is so shiftless that when she undresses at night ( we are told ) she loaves her clothes lying around on the lloor just where she steps out of them. Why should a mother-in-law call your list of "Christmas gifts wanted" an extravagant one , when it doesn't cost you a red cent ? Speaking of lucky falls , fate must be with a man when ho knocks his glasses to the lloor and they drop in n bunch of soft , cloth. Here's a tip to n. M. , J. II. Me. and .1. K. : It's a good scheme to wear your overcoat now nnd then just to prove to your fi lends that you haven't left It with Abu Levlne. If the man who ought to ( but doesn't ) get up the "twenty-years-ago" column on this rag would stick around the office a littie more , instead of play ing so much golf , he'd be doing more to earn his pay. We hope this hint is gentle enough to suit. A customer In a Norfolk jewelry store who had ordered an initial en graved on a piece of jewelry lie was buying for a gift was at the front of the store long before the hour of busi ness the other day. When the doors finally opened he requested that the jeweler take his time about the en graving. "I believe I will have tc change the initials , " he said. Regarding that pound ot tobacco foi Christmas , we've found a way ol beating the tobacco trust. There's n certain kind of tobacco that comes al $5 a pound. But the tobacco Is toe strong for your Uncle Fuller. He likes a grade that sells for 85 cents So if the person intending to make the tobacco Rift will buy the 85-cent kind and enclose the change along with the tobac , we'll beat the trust out of $4.15. We're at work developing a bogey score for the row winter sport called "Furnace Golf. " Like other golf , your score depends n good deal on the weather , and r.lso like other golf you never can tell when you start in the day how much of a score you're going to make. Just for the time being , C shovelsful In 24 hours would seem tc bo a difficult enough bogey. The man who can get under that won't win nny $10 prize , but he'll bo saving coin at 7 cents a shovelful. A Norfolk man is going to sue the railroad company. He was eating sup per at the Junction eating house and had just started in on buckwheat cakes the buckwheat cakes you get at a hotel are always crisper and more delicious than those you get anywhere else he had just got his cakes when the hands of the clock pointed the minute for his train to leave. There was nothing to do but run for the train and desert thu cakes. But Imagine his chagrin when he had to sit In that blooming train twenty minutes before it started. Thn mental anguish , he thinks , Is worth about ? 40. They say irolf is an extravagant game , but It isn't. Hero's the proofs : \s wo pointed out the other day , shov eling coal Into a furnace's mouth and shoving a golf ball Into the cup , afford identically the same exercise , the same training for the eye and muscles , and the same recreation. One's a summer sport , the other a winter pas time. Both accomplish the same desired - sired end. But you never lose a golf ball putting It Into the cup. so that that act cobts you nothing but your time and the tlmo of the caddy who watches you do It , whllo on the other hand , as was stated in another column of this sheet Suturdaj. one llttlo shov elful of coal costs seven cents and nobody was ever known to stop at one shovelful. In fact , six shovolsful a day Is a common ration In this cellar diversion , which makes It exceedingly expensive as compared with golf nnd not half so much fun. Also , In goli you get the fresh air. We hope no body will make any moro remarks about golf being an extravagant gamete to play at least nobody who feeds a furnace. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. Every man feels llko n lion ) svl.en ' o turns In a lire alarm , L very man -artles a white feaiier ! in his pocket , and occasionally shows It. The model husband you read about In books Is the henpecked man of real life. Hope is nil light , nut it takes more than that to win a world champion ship. Look out for the man who Is r.l- ways telling you how square and fall- he is. After n man lias passed 30 and a woman 50 they hear fewer noises at night. If you do a good piece of work , don't tand around two or three da.s ; and admire iU Honlth cranks who go without breakfast ar > > like men who quit smoking ; they quit for awhile and then eat bigger breakfasts than ever. It is twice ns easy to make u man sore as it Is to remove the sore spot. Some men make a living simply be cause other people feel sorry for them. , We are always hearing that people are "hard up" but it's the same pee ] > ! < - I It usually happens that a mystery doesn't amount to much after it Is solved. It lit always an agent's business to coax you to do something you don't want to do. A reputation ns n fighter might be n good thing If you could get it with out fighting. Is there really any excuse for ' French words on the menu cards in restaurants ? There is so much quarreling and sickness that lawyers nnd doctors will always do well. I Occasionally a man is affable who Isn't running for office nnd hasn't anything to sell. Some people are so good they com mit little sins just to have something over which to repent. By the tlmo some men get n thing fairly started , they quit it , and en gage in something else. Nothing looks more out-of-place than a well-drtf-sed woman and a hus band who wears shabby clothes. Of all the different brands of ex citement , the excitement connected with a strike Is probably the worst. You can get up a discussion any time by asking this question : "Is a squirrel better to cat than n rabbit ? " Men who work in an olllco always excuse their poor handwriting by sayIng - Ing It was luined by typewriting. Nothing in it ; they never could write legibly. You may have observed that n girl has more faith In her fiance than a wife has in her husband ; and there are other indications that men don't bear close acquaintance very well. The general opinion seems to be that the man who owns an automobile isn't entitled to much sympathy. When you pay out a dollar , do you growl with it , indicating that you are in love with it ? That's a poor way. You needn't be very important to get a letter from a congressman ; no i much more important than the letter you get from the congressman. It is said that an Atchlson man is so stingy that he half-starves hlmsel every fall in order to keep up wltl the shrinkage of his last winter's un derclothes. The poorest gnesser on earth Is the l person who guesses how fast an auto mobile Is traveling. He IB even n poorer guesser than the one wlu guesses on the number of people in a crowd. There Is to be n party tonight , and this afternoon a woman called up hoi husband , and asked : "What shall I wear ? " "Novor mind , now , " her hus band replied , "don't be coy. You're going to wear that black dross ; the only thing you have , and you know It. " The Topeka Journal administers . . stinging rebuku to the "Johnnies" who hang around the entrance to thn hall whore the Christian church conven tion Is mooting. The "Johnnies" try to Illrt with tht- pretty girl delegates , although the pretty girl delegates have moro serious business. A plumber 'vent Into a harbor shop today to get shaved and when ho gave the barbei n dollar , received two cunts in changi' . "How's this ? " the plumber asked In surprise.

Copyright. 1910. by American fr M Anoclitlon. clllcf difference between THE for the sick and for tlioHo In good hcnlth Is that the sick person must have bis food properly prepared and the one who IB perfectly well ought to have It proper ly prepared. One IB a case of neces sity In order to regain health ; the oth er Is a case of prevention to ward off sickness. There IB no medicine more Important and powerful than the right kind of food cooked and served In the best way to make It easy of digestion and nutritious. Since this Is true there IB no part of nursing more Im portant than that of preparing tlio In valid's meals. Selecting and cooking meals for one who has little appetite mean more than choosing certain nu tritious foods and cooking them well. They mean presenting the proper food to the patient In such an attractive way that an appetite will be awaken ed and there will be a desire to eat. It Is essential , then , that special euro be taken In arranging the paticnt'n tray. A nick person is unusually sen sitive to details. Little things which possibly would pass unnoticed by tlio person In normal health may cause ac tual discomfort to the one weakened by disease. The tray should always be covered with a clean cloth. The smallest stain or a rumpled appear ance may lake away the patient's de sire for the food The prettiest , thin nest china and glass , the brightest sil ver , bhonld be sent to the sickroom. Tni'so In themselves will appeal to the pyo and thus aid digestion. The food should be served In small quantities and by courses It Is not unusual for the sight of a tray loaded A UObPUN OUTFIT FOlt INFANT. [ 1. Band. 2. Hand to he worn after second end month. 3. Stockings. 4 Shirt. 5. Petticoat. 6. Nightgown 7 Cambric Blip. ] with ninny dishes on which generous helpings of food are served to take away the patient's appetite before he has tasted a mouthful. A well tilled tray may be gratifying to the person convalescing from a long illness when food was limited to liquids , but as a rule it is unappetizing almost to every person. licforc taking the tray to the patient make sure that his room is'in order and that he Is ready for the meal. Freshen the air in the room for a few moments , wipe the patient's hands and face with a dampened cloth , straighten the bedclothes and rear range the pillows. Then bring In the tray with the food on It freshly pre pared. Serve hot things hot and cold things cold. Have everything as near ly perfect as possible. Place the tray within easy reach of the patient If he is able to feed himself and then while he eats talk to him of Interesting , pleasant things , which will cause him to forget himself and what he Is do- Ing. Do not sit down beside the bed and watch every nonthful ho takes , occasionally remarking on his Im proved appetite or the lack of It. Such a procedure Is very likely to make the patient feel lie has eaten enough be fore lie Is fairly started on the meal. The patient's diet Is naturally some what llmlU-d. There are a great many kinds of foods that ho Is not allowed to eat , and even those that are per mitted cannot be cooked in all sortH of ways. The physician In charge of the ease will give a list of foods n- ! lowed , and In some cases he will state how ( hey arc to be prepared. Hut his directions are often general , as "glvo him soft cooked eggs" or "let him have a bit of chicken or a nice cream soup. " Any specific instructions re garding redpcs or different ways of serving tin- MUMP food an. nut often at tempted by the dot tor. If the nurse be she wife , mother , daughter or pro- fosslonnl-does not know how to servo eggs In a variety of ways , how oven beef tea and gruels may bo given new forms and flavors , then the patient will prolmbl.v Mi-nry < > t iiiein , perhaps refuse to i-.it lli.-in rortiinaip is tin' Wi'Umn h , , Ui , , us | , . . \ \ t , , pivii.u.- . simple fomU ( iitiu. . IIM-IJ nmlvinn . , | , i friends ai.i.rar . s , , i-\\ < u-.uai.taii , en. Hut more are certain "don Is" that must be observed when cooking for the sick. Don't glvo an Invalid or little ; , child fried food of iui.kind. . . It Is hard to digest , and tin1 digestive organs of both sick people and children ore weak. Don't Include pork In the Invalid's bill of fare. A little crisp bacon or bacon gravy may be allowed occa sionally. Don't serve highly seasoned food. The sense of tnste Is generally very keen In sickness , and thu natural sea soning of food Is often enough. Be sides. Hplec.s may weaken by overstlm- ulallon the digestive glands. Do not use pepper , mustard or vinegar and use salt spnrltigly. Don't boll eggs for either Invalids or children. Always cook them In water which has not quite reached the bellIng - Ing point. Don't cook milk directly over the tire : It Is almost sure to burn. Kvou If It does no ) , milk should not bo boil ed for the same reason that an egg- should not. Itolllng temperature takes the albumen tough and Indigestible. Don't cook cream soups or boiled custards directly over the Jlrc. Use a double boiler to keep the temperature below boiling. Don't serve Insufllclently cooked ce reals. Itlce , oatmeal and cornstarch should be cooked for a long time over hot water. Ulce requires about two hours and oatmeal at least four hours' Htea in cooking. Don't serve fried potatoes. When they arc allowed they are much bettor baked , because they are more quickly digested in that form. Don't serve cheese and don't cook butter too long. In making cream Koups add the butter just before serv ing. Nurse's Care of Herself. The woman who Is acting as nurse in her home Is very apt to neglect her self. It may be hard for her to do oth erwise , especially If there nro other de mands on her time and strength. But If the patient needs constant care then It Is almost Imperative that the person who Is caring for him should be re lieved of other duties and responsibili ties. Ills recovery demands this , for the nurse's mental and physical condi tion has often a marked effect on the patient. If the nurse Is tired out , has been obliged ( o do without mitllclent sleep for several nights , she Is not like ly to be herself. She will be nervous , easily excited , perhaps irritable arid utterly unlit to give her best effort to her task. She should have regular hours for sleep , when her rest will be unbroken for at least seven hours out of each twenty-four. Then a short time should be allowed every day for outdoor exer cise. Constantly breathing the air of even a well \cntllatcd sickroom soon tells on even robust health. The nurse should have also good , nourishing , easily digested food at regular hours. When sickness comes Into the family such matters as guarding the health of the nurse and keeping the other members of the household In good health are often overlooked , and a sin gle case of Illness very often becomes two or three just because of this neg lect , livery thing should be done to hasten the recovery of the patient as well as preserve the good health of the rest of the family. The nurse should wear comfortable clothing a washable dress and broad soled shoes and If the disease Is at all Infections she should be careful to- wash her hands each time she touches- the patient. I'rofcsslonal nurses learn , very early In their training the Impor tance of disinfecting and using every precaution to pi event further develop ment of the disease germs , but the In- cxpurlonml Homellincs llnd It hard to realize how very powerful and insidi ous are these minute germs. It Is not at all necessary for the' home nurse to be versed In drugs and medicines , nor should she be required to put on complicated bandages , pre pare dressings or administer treat ments which require professional skill ami experience. All such matters will be iut1crtalen : ; by the physician wheik a Ir.ilnrd nurse Is not employed.

No woman should consider her edu cation complete until she has an In telligent knowledge regarding the care of little children. When we consider that the material out of which either heroes or Invalids are made Is found In the nursery It behooves every wo man to see to ; t that either by her per sonal effort or by her Inlluenco she is- dolng her part to have the future gen eration composed of strong men andi women , uipyble of being heroes , and that the number of weaklings is less oned one of tlio greatest errors made In the management of children relates to their nutrition.
