! CLEANLINESS j
J As milk is the natural food for the !
young, containing' within itself all
the requirements of the body, and
J as any adulteration is injurious to
the system, (either from absorp-
tion or otherwise) therefore the
J health of the consumer, and espec-
iall) the young, depend to a
great extent upon those who handle
2 the milk. - And as there are so a
many ways in handling the cow as
well as the milk after being drawn
J from the cow. Every consumer a
should visit the place from whence
he gets his milk (no matter if it is
surrounded by a high board fence)
and see how the cow and the milk
are handled before using it as a
food for the baby. J

RATE BILL
THURSDAY
(Observer Special) ',
Washington D. C. Mar 1 5. Conflicting
demands of those favoring more stringent
rate legislation for railways, is being
made the excuse for much delay. Again
real friends of this cause, believing the
present plan of the administration insuf
ficient, are being criticised for purposes
which they do not harbor. Between
these unfortunate conditions for the cause
that has popular approval at the present
time, and the real opposition of railway
interests, the struggle through the Senate
is bitter and slow.
In view of the fact that the House gave
only about three days time to the regu
lation measure passed at the last session,
and the unanimity riftma nHM Kv nartv
managers when the Hepburn rate bill
was pending in that branch, many senator-
justify their deliberation. : They
argue that it is one of the most difficult
problems faced by the American people.
Government interference with private
property interests on one hand, and the
exceedingly abstruse nature of rate-making
on the other, which form two formid
able walls limiting the range of legislation
complicate the situation and cause sena
tors to produce a multitude of court de
cisions for guidance. Decisions on some
features of rate-regulation have been
conflicting, thus adding fuel to the trouble
flame,
State regulation has not always been
uniform, late enactments varying mater
ially from priuciples laid down in the first
efforts of state control. Some of the
best state statutes, from popular view,
differ from the plan that has been adopt
ed by the administration and its champ
ions. Decisions of the Supreme Court
on some of the most vital point involved
have been with a divided bench.
If rate-making is to become a perman
ent duty of the Inter-State Commerce
Commission, this body's functions will be
so vastly extended that it will have to be
put on a different basis than it is now,
and the appropriations' for carrying out
the work will have to be large, for the
problem will require talent that commands
high remuneration for services. It is also
conceded by friends of rate regulation
that the commission has in the past made
some mistakes. Its inflalibility when ex
ercising the vastly greater duties is not
expected, and serious thoughts has been
given to remedical procedure when the
commission makes mistakes. If this is to
be through the courts, judicial review
will of necessity have broad scope.
Railroads are closely interwoven with
Industrial welfare thraughout the country.
Present tariffs and schedules have made
cities and governed in location of factories
If the system of rate-making, Involving
differentials, long and short haul questions
terminal point probe) ms, water competi
tion and other technical features, is to
vest in hands determined to alter old
conditions, the effect on the country is
bound to be far-reaching.
While pressure of an ueusual character
Is being brougut to bear on senators,
many who have established their friendly
interest in the general cause, insist upon
being given time to probe the. , question
more thoroughly. Even if action is taken
by the close question more thoroughly.
Even if action if taken by the close of
this session, some who will Yott for in
Hasing the power of the Inter-State
Gomojerce commission, will feel that
they have aoted wltnout sufficient delibe
ration. BIDS WANTED

A REAL TREAT
Alberta Gallatin, whose manager sent
us "When Knighthood was in Flower".
will appear at Steward's opera house.
Wednesday. March 14, in "Cousin Kate,"
the Hudson Theatre, New York opening
success, one of the cleverest and best so
ciety comedies ever put on the stage.
Miss Gallatin's work as an emotional act
ress is well known and lovers of all ( that
is good in plays are assured that in the
comedy role of "Cousin Kate" Miss Galla
tin, if such a thing is possible, does even
better work than in the heavier lines of
ths drama, allowing, of course,, for the
difference in the class of acting required.
Her humor, gaiety and wit are spontan
eous and will be long remembered by
those who see the play as one of the
prettiest pieces of acting of this or any
pther season.
WHAT DOES OSTEOPATHY TREAT?
For some reason everybody upon first
hearing of Osteopathy imagines it is very
limited treatment good for a few ills, but
not a adapted to treat all sorts of con
ditions, acute and chronic. Such an as
sumption is very erroneous. Osteopathy
is a complete system of medicine and is
adapted to the care, relief and cure of all
curable cases. It is just as successfdl
if not much more successful In ths
acute field, such as caring for la grippe,
tonsillitis, pneumonia, typhoid and other
fevers, cramp-colics, dyspepsia, dysent
ery and menstrual disorders, then in the
field of chronic cases like rheumatism,
paralysis, chronic dislocations and such
things in the cure of which Osteopathy
got much of its early fame.
Many ills usually relegated exclusively
to the surgical field are better treated
by Osteopathy than the knife. While
Osteopathy makes a good share of ' the
fashionable operations of the day un
necessary, it recognizes the value of
surgery as a last resort in many cases
yet not nearly to many at do physicians
of other schoois and it employs the
skill of iurgery when necessary.
We trust our r eiders will never forget
that Osteopathy covers a wider . domain
of disease and disability than either the
"regular" medical school, of surgery, ac
cepting both with their own lines of de
marcation, and that it offers a new treat
ment for multitudes of ills that fall in
both the field of the physician and the
surgeon as their practice are now con
ducted Osteopathic Health,
