Partly by reason of dis turbed conditions In Europe, but prin- lpall- by reason, of conditions In M-.xico. there Is some danger to the people or this eountry of that virulent fo'in cf tnhoid known as prlsor. fever, ship lever and camp fever. Typhus fever somewhat resembles typhoid fever. Most cases of mild ty phoid are called modified typhoid or atypical typhoid. In New York for a while they called this mild typhus Brill's disease.

Of all human parasites -avhlch infect the people of the United States lice are the most nearly universal. Tney are me oane 01 school teachers, school nurses and school Inspectors. The nuisance of the thing Is enough for some people. The nuiuance plus the danger should be incentive enough for all people. They aay we are gotnu to follow up a yellow foverless Cuba and a malarialess Pana ma with a louseless Mexiro. Why not begin with a louseless Chicago. Bos ton Memphis and Portland? The best remedy against lice Is kero sene oil. Hairy parts of the body are to be washed with equal parts of kero sene and vinegar. The hair soaked in the mixture is to be covered with a towel for one hour. Then some or the oil Is cleaned out and the hair is Iftjt undisturbed for 12 hours. It Is then washed in carbollo soap. Twenty-four hours later the process Is to be re peated. Kerosene kills the lice and vinegar kills the nits. Washable cloth ing is to be boiled. Clotbint? which cannot be boiled can sometimes be washed with kerosene or kerosene and soapsuds. In times of epidemic the bed is covered by a spread which haa been sponged with kerosene. The bed posts and thealegs of chairs are set in kero sene cups. 1'hvslcians and nurses wnomusicomo in contact with infected lice wear silk underwear and a apeclal outer garment devised to keep out lice. This garment la closed at the ankles and wrists with adhesive strips and kerosene ointments are used at the wrists, ankles, and neck to keep the lice off. This outer garment la removed and boiled after each visit to Infected quarters. In Chicago about the only precaution needed Is the kerosene-vinegar wash for the hnlry parts of the body and boiling the underwear. laflaauaatory Rbenmatlam.

I mar ried. 20 year go. an Englishman who had no citizenship papers, nor did he ever take out any. He has been dead 10 years. Have I not a right to vote since his death? I am told hi dying an alien disfranchised me? Also I have a cousin who married a Flnlander who never took out papers. She has been divorced. Doe that restore her citi zenship? a- The law provides that when the marital relation Is severed the woman, who took the nationality of the hus band on marriage, may resume her American citizenship by returning to or continuing to reside in the United States, or by registering with the American Consul abroad within one year. Death no doubt may be con strued a severing the marital rela tion. You and your cousin, therefore, are "American citizens If nothing has occurred otherwise to affect your soiling aa citizonn rnopoirrioAi. pla for court Socialist Want . Political, tiot Ron Partisan, Supreme Bench. PORTLAND, Feb. 10. (To the Ed itor.) It is because I believe in, and that tha Government of these United Slates was intended to be, a demo cratic government, founded on democ racy and administered in a representa tive manner that I write this letter. It is because of the violation of and the disrespect for these principles that .11 ji,L-n..t fnr irnvernment exists. It is, probably, because President Wil son realizes there is a "judicial bed lam" among the citizenry, wno arc mo real Judges, that he made the appoint ment of Louis Brandels to the Supreme bench. If any proportionate number of citi zens believe in any certain thing they have a right, in that proportion, to be heard where education and government emanates. If. since they have been grouped together, the trade-unionists, the socialists and the anarchists, form, as they do, a proportionate number of the citizenry, they must be proportion ately represented, or the Government does not derive its "power from the consent of the government" and we have not a representative democratic government. It is surprising how this Idea of autocratic government prevails to the extent that it does. We should be taught, if we do not understand, that it was on account of the lack of fair representation or, rath er, misrepresentation in the Judiciary in the "Dred Scott decision" that de nied the rights of minority considera tion, that this Nation was plunged Into the civil war of the Re bellion. Had proportionate representa tion. In state Assemblies, In National Congress and in courts of justice been the programme it would not have taken a civil war to have set in motion the forces that educated the people against slavery. We must understand that it was not the war that brought about the changed opinion, now universal, of the rights of the colored race, but the education that followed the war. which should have preceded the war, and there would have been no war. The President probably foresees another nm Scott decision with regard to labor and has acted wisely. We trust the North laKima jtepiiDiic did not speak more wisely than it knew in the interests of good government. It is not the denial of representation, but the enforcement of it, that will perpetuate democracy. Autocracy In ..i.i.t.i-inv tha nffHim nf thin Gov ernment, such as The Oregonian stands for in the Brandels supreme i,ouri ap pointment, in United States Congress, In state Legislatures, as well as in municipalities, is destructive of gov ernment such as Is declared for in the Constitution. It is Just such misrepre- ........ .nv.rtim.nl that has olunvred Europe into this awful war. It Is gov ernment by an exclusive, aoimuaiius class without regard for others. It is the price we have paid and are paying for lack of representation In govern ment. When will autocracy cease and the world's savior, democracy, solve the problem of civilization? C. W. BARZEE. Mr. Barzee's speculations over the Dred Scott decision are peculiar. When two elements aro willing to fight over a principle, the idea that a court decision in favor of one will insure peace while a decision in favor of the other will reduce the issue to a matter of peaceful education is novel, to say the least. RATE JUSTICE JS PROPOSED R. E. Karr, of Canby, Make Suggestion as to Aatorla Problem. CANBY, Or., Feb. 9. (To the Ed itor.) About the Portland-Astoria rate business, may 1 ask someone, perhaps it should be an -expert." would it be cheaper to haul 180 cars of wheat from Portland to Flavel by railroad than It would be by water? Also would it be cheaper to bring in a cargo of sev eral thousand tons, stop at Flavel. dis charge and load same on railway cars, haul up and again unload at Portland, than it would be for the ship to glide right along to Portland and handle car go once instead of three times? Let us have a deep channel from Portland to the sea, with proportionate rates for the difference in the railway haul over either Flavel or Puget Sound. That is only asking Justice. R. E. KARR. Allen Wife' Rights. ABERDEEN', Wash.. Feb. 9. (To the Editor.) Will you kindly answer a question through The Oregonian re garding the legal status of a native born American woman, married to an alien, whose marriage took place prior to the passing of the ' alien law"? Has she a right to vote or does that law affect her the same as if she had mar ried an alien after the enactment of that law? . K- w- A woman who marries an alien takes the nationality of the husband, and her right to vote depends on whether he meets the requirements. The recent alien voting law has caused Eome confusion, but the authorities deny the right of a woman married to an alien to vote un til the husband has met the require ments. Taking Additional Land. FOREST GROVE, Or.. Feb. 9. (To the Editor.) Can a man that has al ready taken 160 acres as a homestead take an additional 160? A SUBSCRIBER. If a man has proved up under the five-year occupation law he is not en titled to make entry on any additional land. If he haa commuted and paid a certain sum per acre for the land upon which he has commuted he is entitled to make another entry, with the ful fillment of certain other conditions. Application to the land office. Worces ter building, of this city, should be made for a complete copy of tho land laws. Thl Aotolat Suggeat Way. PORTLAND, Feb. 10. (To the Edi tor.) One of the recent arrivals from the country and at present a resident on Elliott avenue has yet to learn that the Etreet is no playground for chil dren. Just because you haven't a car, don't envy the fellow who has one, and don't take it for granted that every driver is after your child's scalp. If you cannot provide a place besides the street for your children's playground, at least equip your offspring with a horn and traffic regulation book So the autoists will at least have the privilege of safely crossing the addition without having some youth's coaster wagon mar the fcreneral beauty of the ma Stnes.

Will you kindly tell me through The Oregonian the address of the Close TUUciims' Club, on Eleventh street. MARTHA WILSON. Southeast corner Eleventh and Mill streets, Portland, Or. - V- In Other Days Twenty-flve Years Ago. From Tho Oregonian of February 11, 1861. A dispatch from Colonel C. F. Beeba states that he will leace Xew York this evening for Portland. A number of capitalists here are se riously considering the question of in augurating tho business of manufacture ing beet sugar here. Experiments prove that the per cent of saccharine from analysis of Oregon beots is found to be 14 per cent, which is more than is found in beets grown in Germany. There are SO medals to bo given tq the successful contestants in the ath letic games which take place In tha Armory Wednesday, February 18. These prizes aro now on exhibition in the window of Feldenheimer's jewelry store. C. II. Woodard, who has been suN fering from malaria and has been at the Good Samaritan Hospital for a short time, is muca, improved and ex pects to be out in a day or two. Joseph Bright, a deserter from the military post at Vancouver, was yes terday taken back to the barracks and turned over to General T. M. Anderson, post commandant. It is reported that Brower & Thomp son's sawmill at Brower was obliged to bo sKut down a day or two since on ac count of the hands rushing oft into the woods to locate claims. W. R. MeCord, of East Portland", ex hibits a very handsomely wrought vio lin case of his own manufacture. The case stamps Mr. McCord as a master workman in his peculiar line. A GRANDMOTHER GFVES VIEWS Reply to "Father" and Father Black on Birth Control Ih Made. PORTLAND, Feb. 10. (To the Editor. I have longed to express my indig nation of the views of "A Father" ever slnco reading his letter in The Ore gonian. Then the dignified and pathetio letter of a "Widowed Mother" brought the matter freshly to my mind, and my indignation has again burst forth. I was further incensed by the article on page 4 (Monday's issuo) of Tho Oregonian, giving the archaic and ig norantly prejudiced views of a Catho lic priest. Truly these men belons to the dark aires! I long with all my soul to be able to inflict on both "A Father" and Father Black the ability to give birth to just one child each! After one ordeal their heroic souls would crv for mercy, and their beau tiful thoughts of race propagation would be forgotten in a frenzy of self presorvation. Even certain savaga tribes of Africa have more feeling and regard for their women than these men, restricting the number of births to one in four years for each woman. I agree with an eminent lecturer of this city, in referring to the succes sion of wives acquired by an old pio neer preacher, that if he could havo had them all at one time, instead of tandem, thev would probably be alive today. If "A Father" could, with -hia views, be relegated to the time of Solo mon, I am sure his wife would be & happier woman. What does such a man care for the uplift, comfort and progress of his family? Think of his poor mother' miserable existence, 1C children and no servant, and he boasts of it! Aside from the mere fact of giving birth to these children, think what her days of ministering to their daily wants must have been. May her reward be great! Ignorance and subservience to their lord and master of the household is what these bigoted, unfeeling men de mand of womankind unfeeling be cause they have never felt, never known sympathy, never experienced physical suffering. Better a. thousand times to belong to a savage race than for a woman to come under the do minion of such men. A GRANDMOTHER. . Hen Help In Dull Times. EUGENE. Or., Feb. 9. (To the Edi tor.) In these days, when so many are unemployed and are troubled to maintain their families, it seems un fortunate that they have not learned what a good bunch of pullets (culled. It may be, from the chickens brought into commission houses in the Fall) may do toward keeping the family going. Here in Eugene the other day a discouraged man who had a fine plot of ground jumped into the Willamette, and so took his life. Had such a man, so situated, what I have in the way of family producers, he need not get dis heartened. My 16 lusty pullets tho last three weeks laid $4 worth of eggs, yet their feed cost me but $1.55. Why may not thousands do what a few of us in these strenuous times are doing? A man who has, as I chance to have, five dozen eggs a week coming from pullets which are costing him but 5 cents a week to keep need not despair when for a few months the call of the labor market is not heard. To be sure, one must learn how to care for and feed hens to get such results, but it is worth while, especially as he may get lots of pleasure out of it. For one, I should be happy to pass on to pros pective hen-owners such knowledge as I have found necessary. HEN FANCIER. Widow' Pension Law. BLIND SLOUGH, Or.. Feb. 9. (To the Editor.) Please tell roe through The Oregonian as soon as possible if a widow with three small children, living in another state, came here to live could she get a widow's pension? If bo how much for each child? Also how long must she be a resident of this state before srre can get the pen sion. SUBSCRIBER. A widow must be a resident of Ore gon for three years before she can draw a pension. Then for one child she may draw $10 and for each addi tional child $7.50; however, the largest sum she will be allowed is $40 a month. Another Defense of the Robin. PORTLAND. Feb. 10. (To the Editor.) just a word of praise for "A Bird Lover's" defense of the robin in 1 he Oregonian. I. too, came from the East, where we looked forward to the robins return in early .Spring, and there was little if any complaint about his hog ging the fruits. We always left a few cherries on the trees for his especial benefit. It rather added a degree of prestige to be the first one to remark. I saw a robin this morning. 1 KALON. The Dealer and His Friends Men who spend money for gen eral advertising determino before hand if they are wise the attitude of the retail dealer toward the ad vertising they arc about to. do. Creating consumer demand Is 'a vital requisite of Fiiccessful adver tising, but an equally important fac tor consists of winning the intelli gent support of the man who runs the store where the product is sold. The Bureau of Advertising, "work ing for tho past three years with tho newspapers of North America, has focussed the attention of local merchants everywhere upon news paper advertised goods. These mer chants have bofn shown that it is to their advantage to push mer chandising for which there is a di rect local demand in other words, newspaper advertised merchandise
