It. IJImiT I.ee. A. M. formerly a prac
ticing phyHlclan with u large clientele In
Omaha, now of New York, baa In the No
vember number of the Medical Times an
article which la attracting a good deal of
attention among medical men.
In hla article Dr. Lee discusses "Perfect
Nutrition aa the Basis for Accurate The
rapy." lie take a decided stand axaln.it
the use of wirumi. After describing how
blood serums are derived from domestic
animals which have been "poisoned by fre
quent Injections obtained from d!nenied
animals or human b.-ing-t," It Iee de
nounces the Injection of blood serums Into
the human body as "a blind method, mean
ingless to the patient and a thing of anx
iety and doubt to others " Ho says:
"It is lieyond my understanding The
necessity for It has no existence. I never
even think of serums as worthy a thought
In the most trying cases: never use them
no more than if there were not a serum In
the world."
Hygiene Is held by Lir. Lm as being
competent to work all the euros that are
possible1, and aalely, assisted by surgery
In exceptional canes. In the term hygiene,
for the betterment of the .human body and
, the cure of sickness, he mentions food,
raiment, shelter, ventilation, good housing,
work, exercise, mental and physical well
bolng and management, and asserts: "If
these available essentials are set in mo
tion by the physician skilled In this line
of treatment ailments and diseases may be
oured and suffering minimized."
In-. I ob la also advocating what he calls
a "nuw plan hospital," from which he
would exclude serums and discourage the
use of drugs and chemicals. He .insists
"the employment of nutritive carbonaceous
would suffice and satisfy treatment re
quirements." He asserts the better plana for treatment
are known and perfected) and that nature,
aided by hyglenlo management, restores
tho sick If wisely directed.
formal -Method Hospital.
He iuiys: "There should be a normal
method hospital to prove to such as are
Interested what this form of treatment Is
capable of accomplishing. Tbe new hos
pital can be made a teaching center for
physicians as well as an example In domes
tic science for laymen. From foundation
to roof economic construction and taste
should characterise the building. It should
stand for elegant, stately, complete, useful
simplicity, even refinement, and, what is
more important, bo the scene of practical
demonstrations of common-sense methods
both for the sick and the well. In this
plan earnest, sincere, essential, without
ostentation, it would be obvious that vlvl
sectlou, vaccination, -Inoculation, injection,
opsomic soup, typhoid tea, sera or glandu
lar elixirs, aa well as other forma of arti
ficial or over-sclent! fio practice, are con
sidered of little or no value.
A working hospital, managed on the
' plans proposed, general In scope, open and
accessible to observation by friend and
critic, does not aa yet exist, says Dr. Lee.
An institution of this nature, acting along
broad Hues, closely adhering to nature's
ways and lntelitloiiB, using the delicacies
of the table rather than apothecary nos
trums or animal serums for its medicines,
even now appeals to many, as It does
to me.
Criticism of Outdoor Nanltarla.
Of reoent development In outdoor treat
ment, he says: The present sanitaria are
approaching excellence in housing, yet in
treatment there, i.t excess of the artificial,
exaggeration of infection, magnification of
germs, waiting, uncertainty. lack of ac-
curacy in diet, forced feeding upon beef,
eggs, milk, hardships, prohibitions, too
much cold water, raw air, and In the end
unsatisfactory results, with very frequent
relapse and discouragement both to pa
tient and others concerned.
In a recent trip to Mexico and California
the sanaturia and tent treatment was ex
amined and studied by Dr. Lee. He ad
mits some cases do well, but asserts many
are discouraged, homesick and die from
the combination of the disease, accelerated
by loneliness. In many Instances, he
thinks, sanataiia run Into boarding houses,
with a treatment little short of frivolous.
Tho greatest number of these Institutions
are without appreciation of natural diet,
a wise, abundant, delicious variety, with
proportion and balance. Beef, milk and
raw eggs prevail as a foundation for diet
There Is nothing that could be less nat
ural and appropriate, in his view.
Dr. Lee Insists, also, that outdour sleep
ing In winter b by no means curative, de
sirable or comfortable. "Young people,
who mainly fill the sanatarla. can lie
trained by participation In this regime into
acquiescence, even an endurance for a
time, yet it la not practical or convenient
at home upon their return and, in the end,
unsatisfactory. What normal ingredient
ts there In cold air that Is not in pleai-antiy
warm air under proper ventilation T In
cold weather a window raised or lowered
admits a thousand tines as much outside
air aa cau be used by any pair of luuxs.
It may be a pleasant experience now and
tnon to take a dip in mo ocean, but a
basin does better for general use. It Is
the moderate, temperate, middle course in
tbe uses of nature that fulfills the essen
tial wants of the body."
On the quostlon ot stimulants Dr. Lee rx
preoMts tho conviction that the lack In
abundance of favorable and sustaining
foods Is mponslble for the extensive use
ot mineral waters, drinks, beverages, stim
ulants, liquors, drugs, and tobacco.. "No
man habitually uses tobacco, liquor and
drugs If the body Is supplied with ample
and wholenome nutrition. Health of body,
with contentment of mind, depends on full,
natural and acceptable rations. Scanty
and imperfect foods produce shriveled cells
and weak bodies "
lv, Leo's Conclaslons.
Tho doctor draws his conclusions la clos
ing his article:
Prolonged daily use of weak, watery and
tale table preparations, badly cooked and
soggy vegetables, fried and much roasted
meats, graWea. fata and oils clog, corrupt
and debauch the human body, cause Irrita
tion, congestions. Inflammations, suffering,
debility and disease.
Wrong kitchen cooking is the principal
doatruyar of mankind and the dining table
an altar of human sacrifice.
The paste of human Ufa everywhere Is
gradual, progressive and appalling, costly
and demoralising.
Favorable foods In abundanoa. yet, mis
understood, neglected, rejected or misused,

PREVENTING TRAIN COLLISIONS
Another Simple .Means of Averting;
Disaster on Mingle Track
Roads.
A western reader has lately railed at ten
tion to tbe lucky escape of a passenger
tiain on the Denver St. Rio Grande rail
road. The operator at one of the stations
on the line had been 01 tiered to hold a
night passenger train there until a freight
which had been sent out from a station
farther down the line could come up and
pass the passenger train at that point.
The operator forgot to act on the order
and let the loadud passenger train go by.
lie knew that the freight was coming on
and that a collision which would kill many
people must be Inevitable. If he only had
means of communicating with either train
tho terrible accident could be averted. But
he had no such means, of course, and
waited In fearful torment for the crash,
meantime sending out hurry calls for phy
sicians and a wreaking train. But It
chanced that in that precipitous mountain
region there was a point where, smooth
ledges rose above the track and were ob
servable at quite a distance along down
tho line. Aa tho passenger train swept
along toward the passing of the lodges its
electric headlight threw a glare upon tho
rocks which was observable by tho freight
engineer some miles away. Ho knew at
once what it meant, brought his train to a
halt, sent out men with warning signals
and started the train back to the station
It had Just left. Mo the passenger train
was saved, but the negligent operator had
had an experience ho never wanted to re
peat or never would have been given a
chance to repeat had he not Immediately
quit tho service for another business.
TlUa singular escape from a great rail
road disaster bus called attention to a
suggestion advanced by George A. itankln,
in a book entitled "An American Trans
portation System," for the prevention of
the many collisions which result from mis
takes In dispatching orders, or from fail
ures to act on orders to hold dispatch
trains or from failure to heed atop signals.
His plan Is thus given:
"Suppose that an electric light wire was
strung along the telegraph poles always
found clime to the railways. At each pole
a red light bulb was attached. These are
connected with storage batteries in each
station. By simply turning a switch these
red lights could be flashed on between tho
two stations and the trains brought to a
standstill. The device would cost little
more than the wire of a telegraph" line
and the electricity, being only required for
emergency, would amount to but little, pro
vided a storage battery could be used."
rJuch an arrangement would certainly fit
cases of the character above described, and
they are numerous enough it would seem,
alone to call for its adoption on single
track roads. Every little while we read of
deadly collisions which might have been
prevented had any means existed of get
ting Into warning communication with
trains running between stations. Ingenuity
has long been at work to devise a plan
of keeping In telegraphic touch with a train
all along Its course. That will doubtless
come soiiio time, but here meantime is a
simple and inexpensive method of main
taining a warning communication with run
ning trains for the correction of mistakes
and oversights and neglects in train dis
patching. Laymen may well be diffident
about expressing positive opinions in such
a matter, and the very lnexpenslvcness of
this device raises the question whether
its practical value can be as great as would
appear, whero subjected to expert examina
tion. Yet railroad managers are rarely
very quick to move away from a beaten
path, 'whether the cost be small or great.
It at least remains for them to demon
, Btra,e the valuelessness of this simple de-
vice for keeping In warning communication
with trains along tho- road. Springfield

1H POWER OF WILL
AND DRUmHESS
Will rower Alone Will sTot Stop
tho
XxosssIto use of laquor
The temperance advocate and total ab
stainer arc strong In their declaration
that drunkeness Is a mean, .ow and dis
graceful habit, from which any ordinary
person can free himself by tho exercise
of his will power alone.
Medical men, by patient research, have
demonstrated . that drunkeness la a pois
oning and that the drunkard Is one in
need 'cf medical attention.
The disease of alcoholism can surely
bo cured, thanks to tho NenI treatment,
which lias demonstrated that It is an In
fallible remedy striking at once ut the
roots of the trouble. There has always
been a demand for the treatment for hab
itual drunkeness which can be adminis
tered Internally, without the use of dan
gerous hypodermic Injections.
Kxperlence has taught that no institute
extant other than the Neal Institute in I
Omaha at 150i South loth St., has ever
been successful in treating drunkeness
in lees than four weeks' time. It makes
no difference how long a man has been
drtnkjng, how much or how little he
drinks, or what he drinks, the Neal treat
ment has never failed to cure in three
! days' time, and without the use of that
t devilish little tormentor of the flesh, the
hypodermic syringe. Just bear In mind
that there Is no such thing as a "secret
cure" for drunkeness, and you are tak
ing a great risk In administering these
remedies.
The Institute In this city bos been
taxed to its full capacity during recent
months and to take care of Its Increasing
number of patients, a branch Neal Insti
tute has been established at Grand Island,
Nebraska. In charge of Dr. Wni F.Dugan,

physicians of this state, where the same

Defects in
In studying this subject we have en
deavored, as far as possible, to adopt
principles that have been tried in other
states, and have resorted to our own
theories only when we have failed to find
anything In the laws of other states that
would reach the result we desired. It
would be neither desirable nor practicable
to give an exhaustive review of the laws
I of other states at this time, but we will
I give a few of the states that have adopted
certain of the principles that we have sug
gested. The plan we have suggested does
not follow the laws of any one stabs In
full, but each principle, with one or two
exceptions, Is found in the law of some
state. Wherever possible wo will refer to
the laws of Iowa, principally because any
one who desires to study the practical
operation of these principles can do so by
ttklng a short car ride to Council Bluffs,
where some of them have been in opera
tion for many years.
At present we hava three kinds of real
estate tax and two kinds of personal tax,
each known by a different name, becom
ing duo and delinquent at various dates,
each being kept in a separate set of books,
all five of which sets of books must be
examined (If a person owns both real
estate and personal property), before one
can be advised as to the condition of his
taxes for any one year. Wo have sug
gested: 1. Tbat oil taxes of every kind become
due at one time and be payable on the
same dates, whloh dates should be ar
ranged to suit the convenience of the tax
payer, so that it would be possible for the
taxpayer to ascertain at one time what his
taxes for the entire year would be, and
know that one rule as to time of pay
ment would apply to every kind of tax.
2 We suggest that all taxes affecting
real estate should be Included in one Item
and kept In one book instead of three, as
at present. Iowa includes the county tax,
the city tax and special tax in one item
and overcomes the confusion met by
On. aha taxpayers.
3. We suggest having taxes payable lit
two installments at the option of the tax
payer, for the benefit of those who do not
find It convenient to pay the whole Bum
at one time. A great number of states
have tills provision, among which are Cali
fornia, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio.
Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington.
4, We suggest making the extension of
time for the second installment conditional
on the payment of tho first Installment be
fore a given date that Is, If the first in
stallment Is not paid by the date fixed
for Its payment the whole tax shall at
once become delinquent. Iowa and most
of the other states that allow payment, in
two Installments have this provision.
6. We suggest that If an Installment of
rtax is not paid by the day fixed for- Its
payment, Interest should be charged from
a prior date, so that allowing tax to be
come delinquent would add a penalty of
several months Interest Instead of a few
days interest. This should be done, for
the reason that people have a habit of
thinking that a few days Interest will

Nebraska's Taxation System
not amount to much, and allow the tax to
run past the date of payment, and when
the date Is once past the hn hit of procras
tination becomes fixed and before they
know it they have an accum jlation of In
terest that makes the tax a burden,
whereas If there had been Just a little
stronger Inducement for them to pay
promptly on the date they would h:vve
saved themselves this burden. Iowil, Ore
gon, Pennsylvania and some other states
date the Interest back In this manner, and
several other states among which are
Kansas, North Dakota and Michigan, add
a fixed penalty of from 1 to 6 per cent as
soon as a tax becomes delinquent, which
la In addition to the regular rate of In
terest. 6. We suggest that In case tho first in
stallment Is not paid before the date fixed
for Its payment, February 1, no interest
should bo charged If both Installments are
paid before May 1. This would give those
who unintentionally failed to pay their first
paying Interest by paying both Installments
at ones before May 1, and In addition
to this would offer an Inducement for
people to pay their who lax at one time
and thus reduca the cost of collection. I
find no precedent for this In the laws of
other states, but it certainly needs none.
7. We suggest that a small discount be
allowed If both installments of tax are
paid before a given date. Kansas allows
5 per cent discount on one-half the tax
If tho whole Is paid before a given date.
Kentucky allow S per cent if paid by
ono date, J per cent if paid by another.
ind 1 per cent if paid by another. Oregon
allows S per cent and several other state
,iavo similar provisions. The chief benefit
of a discount is to induce those who can.
to pay their tax early and save having such
a rush at tho office when taxes become de
linquent, and thus help distribute the
work of tho office more uniformly through
out the year. Personally I believe a very
small discount, say 1 per cent, would an
swer this purpose.
From the foregoing It will be seen that
the suggestion we have made aro not
visionary or untried, tut for the most
part have the sanction of
legislative
enactment. To recapitulate, our sugges
tions are these:
First That all taxes of every kind be
come due on November 1. and that one
rule as to tho time and manner of pay
ment apply to all taxes, so that It will
be possible to ascertain at ono time what
one's taxes for the entire year will be.
Second That a discount of 1 per cent
be allowed If the whole tax Is paid at one
time before December 1.
Third That taxes be payable In two
equal Installments at tho option of the
taxpayer. That If the first Installment Is
paid before February 1, the second In
stallment would not be delinquent until
July 1, otherwise the entire taxes would
become delinquent February 1. Provided,
however
Fourth That if tho first Installment In
not paid before February 1, interest may
be avoided by paying both installments at
one time before May 1. In other words,
the entire tax might be paid without in
terest any time befoi-e. May . 1, If both in

This would relieve the taxpayer of the
necessity of call ng at the treasurer s of
fice oftener than once a year, ami would
fix five different dates November t, De
cember 1. February 1, May 1 and July 1.
near which different people for different
reasons would be Induced to call, so that
the Work would be distributed evenlv
throughout the year, the periods of con
gestion that now occur be wholly avoided
and better service to the public made pos
sible nt a reduced expense. It Is not our
purpose at this time to even approximate
the amount that might be saved to the
taxpayer of Doug'as county by these tiro
posed changes, hut It will be apparent to
those who have followed these articles
that several thousand dollars could be
saved in the way of expense, and the loss
of tax thnt follows as a necessary In
clilint to our present system, and In ad
dition to this, relieve the taxpayer of
the confusion that now exists in his mind
and make it possible for him to pay his
taxes with greater comfort and certainty.
These are some of the changes that
must eventually be made In our tax sys
tem, and whether they be made by the
coming session of the legislature or at
some future time, It Is well for us to
give the subject our best consideration at
this time with a view to developing a
system that will, when adopted, meet the
needs of all localities ot the state and
the convenience of the taxpayers.

IH'KHAM, N. P.. Nov. i (Special. -Thr
oiiening of a school here last month known
as the National ltcllgious Training School
and Chautauqua presents to the educa
tional world a new institution for the
colored people unaltcnipted by anybody
heretofore.
The founder and president of the school.
Dr. James K. Shepsrd. Issued bulletins mi-
miunelnt, the courses and those who will
direct them. Declaring his belief that the
quickest way to racial elevation is religious
training rather than Industrial, Dr. Sh.-p-ard
has planned a school that accents the
first and gives liberal time to the second,
himself directing the industrial depart
ments.
The president Is beginning with the negro
minister. That individual is the undisputed
leader of his race, a fact
klHIWU Of Hit
men In the south. In former das when
the black man voted uniLer no restrictions
at all. the candidate for office needed but
to make his peace with the black minister
and the laymen were voted solidly. It was
full knowledge of these conditions that
moved President Hhepard to plan his
school, dedicated largely to the black min
ister's education.
Preacher the Katural leader.
"He Is the leader of the race," Dr. Shep
ard nays, "and his power is such that intel
ligent leadership is imperative. We have
3t.,ni colored ministers In tho country and
every tenth nnui Is a black man. The 9,000,
1)00 blacks are led by ).() ministers, of
which number only 3.0W arc educated in
any sort of way befitting leaders of the
nice and preachers of the goHpol. These
figures show the appalling conditions ol
tho colored clergy, a race of fceblo but
earnest people, as a rule, wholly unequal
to the task of lifting up the benighted
people far from towns and cities."
Tho school and the president havo won
the friendship of this municipality and
through the Merchants' association, which
has given it a heorty endorsement, twenty-five
acres of land have been donated to
it. I'pon its campus now atand permanent
