DIET OURE8 OONS0MP1 ION.
Got Fat, Build Up, and tho Drondod
Dlaoaio will Dlsnppoar.
No leea a modical authority than Dr.
Oslor Bays : "Tho euro of tuborcuIonlB
1b a quBotion of nutrition; mako a pa
tiont grow fat and tho local diseaso
may bo loft to tako enro of" itself."
Many others who havo ocrcuplod tho
highest position In tho modical profes
sion havo said tho namo; but nono havo
pointed out a eucccBBful way of ac
complishing it.
Tho most certnln mothod over adopt
ed for tho euro of tho "Groat Whito
Plague" ie through tho dlotuaod as por
directions given bolow which can bo
takon at homo und comes within reach
of tho poor as well ns tho rich.
Tho modus oporandi is to forco tho
body to tako on fat, a doaidoratum long
folt by tho medical profession but nov
or boforo attained to.
During tho lnat fifteen years I havo
proscribed this diot In hundreds of n
otancos and whoro directions havo been
followed strictly it has raised tho
weight and Increased tho strength and
vitality of tho pationt rapidly up to a
normal condition, thus enabling naturo
to assort hor sovoroign right to bo tho
dominating forco in tho body and tho
gorms causing consumption havo been
ovorcomo and tho euro accomplished.
Somo havo gained a pound a day and
would gradually tako on loss until they
would not increase In weight more.
Tho all Important thing Is to drjnk
largo quantities of milk strippings (tbo
very last of tho milking, which is all
croam when a pronor cow is solocted.
This seems so simplo and easy that
many havo refused to follow direc
tions and domand mcdicinesl to cure
thorn, but thoro has not yet boon dis
covered any mcdiclno that is a specific
for consumption.
To got boBt rerult8 a healthy cow
should bo Bolectod, orio that docs not
cough and ono that gives very rich
milk. A Jersey cow is proforoblo.
Tho milk should always bo tea tod,' to
bo fluro that thoro Is a largo percent
ago of croam in it.
Tho last quart should bo milked into
a soparato dluh which rests in a Iargor
vcbboI containing warm water just
sufllcicnt to provont the strippings
from cooling bolow blood heat. Tho
cow should bo thoroughly cleaned to
provont any dirt gotting into tho milk,
so tho patient can blow back tho froth
and drink at onco without straining, as
this cools it too much.
Begin by drinking nearly a pint in
tho morning and tho same at night,
and increase tho quantity gradually so
that in 10 or 15 days a full quart will
bo taken twico a day. It should bo
takon Immediately aftor milking, bo
foro it has had timo to cool any. All
should be taken that can bo without
too much discomfort, and then rest 2
or 3 minutes and drink moro and rest
again, and so on until a full quart has
been takon as soon as it can bo con
veniently. In about flftcon minutes
tho pationt should oat at the tablo such
artlclos of food os aro known to agrco
with tho stomach. At noon oat as
usual.
When tho strippings aro not allowed
to cool bolow heat and takon immedi
ately after it is milked a full quart
will bo transfused into tho circulation
in a remarkably short timo.
I never havo Been a caso but could
take tho strippings without any dis
comfort worth mentioning whon abovo
directions wero followed strictly, al
though Bomo havo doclared they could
not boforo trying It; but whon they de
layed taking for half on hour and tho
milk had cooled ten degrees I havo
soon half a pint mako thorn very sick.
Tho great Bccret of success with it is
in taking it immediately after milking
and not allowing it to cool below blood
heat, taking a full quart morning and
evening, that la very rich.

Washington, Feb. 25. Roprosonta
tivo Clnudo Kitchin of North Carolina.
tnndo a genoral assault on tho tariff
law undor liccnao of general dobato on
tho postoilico appropriation bill in tho
houo today.
Telling a number of storios of starv
ing children and of working men ap
pealing for work in tho largo cities,
Kitchin concluded each talo with tho
statement:
"And nil this under the AlJnch
Payno bill, which no ono on tho Repub
lican sido has tho courago to defend."
Tho (administration bill to create a
court of commerce and amend tho inter
state commerce laws was ordered fav
orably reported today by tho ownato
committoo on interstate commerce,
which will recommond its passago
practically in the form recently revis
ed by Attorney General. Wickeisham.
The attitudo of the house committee
in regard to tho bill is giving tho pres
ident concorn and ted ay ho sent for
Borne Republican membora of tho com
mittoo and urged them to do every
thing possible to expedite its passage,
oven if it should bo necessary to
amend it, so long as the general pur
poses of the act wero carried out.
Tho senate today passed Represent
ative Ellis' bill authorizing tho Oregon
Trunk lino to build a bridge across the
Columbia river and tho Celilo canal, to
connect with the North Bank road at
a point opposite the mouth of the Des
chutes rivor. This bill now lacks only
tho sig.iaturo of the president to make
it law.
Tho secretory of the intorior has
decided to .report favorably upn tho
uounie Din amending the enlarged
homestead act, bo as to permit patents
to isauo in Oregon upon pre if of pro
duction and cultivation instead of re
quiring residence.
Washington, Fob. 24. Representa
tive Hawloy announced today that the
hearings on the Lafean apple packing
bill would begin before tho house com
mitted on ngriculturo on March 9, and
continue long enough to enable all wit
nesses to b beard. Ho has notified
horticultural societies in Oregon in Or
der that they may send representatives
to Washington to appear before the
committcfl.
A bill was introduced today in the
house by representative Hawley, of
Oregon, providing for the opening and
sottlement of tho Klamath Indian res
ervation of Oregon.
The bill provides for tho surveying
of tho reservation and allotment to the
Indiana within a year, the government
to have use of some of the land for
demonstration farms.
A graphic picture of Alaska, with
her millions in gold lying hidden be
neath hundreds of feot of frozen earth,
was drawn by Delegate James Wicker
Bham today in a statement before the
houuo committeo on territories, in sup
port of o bill for the revision of Alas
kan mining laws.
If a resolution Introduced today by
Senator Heyburn is adopted, tho senate
will take up what is known among p?
lico officials as tho "third degree."
Tho resolution provides for appoint
ment of a select committoo of three to
investigate the practice of administer
ing what is known as the "third de-
groo" ordeal by tbo oflkorB of the law
for tho purpose of oxtortlng state
ments and confessions from those
charged with crimo.
Mr. Ueyburn assemd that such
methods wero mora ciuel than thoso of
tho Inquisition. They wero not only
barbarous, he said, but wero in direct
conflict with American court instruc
tions under which nn officer is prohib
ited from talking with his prisoner on
tho subject of tbo charge against him.
Washington, Feb. 23. Senator War-
ron today introduced a bill authorizing
the socretary of tho interior to sell sur
plus water of tho government reclama
tion projects to inlividuals, corpora
tions or associations operating under
tho Carey act and authorizing the sec
retory to co-oporoto with persons, cor
porations, irrigating districts or (Jaroy
act associations in tho construction of
contemplated reservoirs, which will
impound tho water in excess of the
noods of pubic lands within the pro
posed irrigation projoct.
Senators who have been herotoforo
unfriendly to tho bill to raise addi
tional monoy to hasten completion of
government irrigation projects aro
now suggesting that tho bill bo amend
ed to nuthorize $50,000,000 instead of
$30,000,000 worth of certificates of In
debtedness. Commenting on this new
situation Senator Borah suid: "Of
courso wo would like to havo $50,000,
000, and if wo find we can got it, we
will take up this now proposal, but the
thing that is disturbing friends of the
monaiiro now Is whothor or not this
propisod raise may not havo tho effect
of killing tho bill after it gota to the
house. Wo do not know what we
will o regarding this proposition until
tho situation can bo canvassed in the
houso."
Tho sonato commerco committee has
adopted amondmonts to tho river and
harbor bill bb follows: Siuslaw river,

Alaskan Bill Killed.
Washington, Feb. 24. The bitter
fight that has boon mado has resulted
in killing tho bill by Senator Bover-
idgo for an appointive legislative coun
cil for Alaska. Tho fight wbb on the
allegation that tho bill was in tho In
terest of the Guggenheims. JJIt Is as
serted that Root's amendment to tho
postal Bavlnga bank bill cannot pass,
opposition by Borah and othors having
succoodod in defeating it. The bill
will pass without tho Root proviso.

Clat9kanio river, increase from $500 to
$5,000. Survey of the Oregon slough
in tho Columbia opposite Vancouver, is
bIbo ordered.
Washington,"-Feb. 22. Representa
tive Hawley today introduced a bill au
thorizing tho oponing of tho surplus
lands in Klamath reservation after the
completion of allotments to Klamath
and Modoc Indiana. As soon as the
allotments ure completed, a commis
sion consisting of one resident of Ore
gon, ono representative of tho Interior
department and one member of the
Klamath tribe are to be appointed at
$10 a day to classify and appraiee the
surplus lands', dividing them into agri
cultural, timber, grazing and mineral
lands, the classification to bo complet
ed in eight months.
Tho house naval committee today
voted a tentative approval of Socretary
Meyer's plan of reorganization, which
will give the secretary tho power to
put his plan into practice for one yoar.
Several hours again were devoted by
the senate committee on interstate
commerce today to listening to Attor
ney General Wickersham expound his
views concerning amendments to the
interstate commerce law.
It had been expected that he would
complete his explanation of the ad
ministration railroad bill today in timo
to permit a report to the senate.
Members of the committee were so
much interested in what he had to say
that they invited him to come back to
morrow. It is expected that the bill
will be reported late in the week.
In the opinion of Chairman Knapp,
ol' the Interstate Commerce commis
sion and of his associates on that body,
domestic freights are freer from unjust
discrimination and more satisfactory
in general than they ovar were before.
Washington, Feb. 21. Senator Aid
rich said today that if permitted to do
so ho would undertake to run the gov
ernment of the United States for
$300,000,000 a year less than it now
costs.
He was not presenting a formal pro
posal, but was making a speech in the
Senate on the question of creating a
commission to reform the business
methods of the government.
He said tho methods were obsolete
and involved the annual loss1 of at least
$100,000,000. At his instance the bill
was bo amended as to provide that
the commission should bo composed en
tirely of members of congress five
senators and five representatives.
Mr. Aldrich spoke in reply to Sena
tor Dolliver, who opposed the bill on
the ground that it would create suspi
cion in the minds of the public as to the
methods of conducting the govern
ment's business.
Mr. Dolliver said ho feared tho com
mission would accomplish no good, but
much evil. He regarded the bill as a
proposal to enter upon a "blanket dis
paragement of the government." He
declared the commission wolud cost not
less than $300,000., and he Baid ho
thought there were too many commit
tees already.
The administration ship subsidy bill
reached the house today through the
filing of the report of the committee on
merchant marine and fisheries, which
had favorably acted upon it.
Tho minority was granted ten days
in which to report againBt the bill.
Washington, Feb. lfi. The post-
office appropriation bill, reported to
the house lato. yesterday, makes no
change in second-class postage rateB
and contains no ship subsidy provision.
The bill carries nearly $230,000,000,
which is an increase over last year's
of $5,000,000.
Four administration measures are
sure of passage at this session of con
gress. After conferences with sen
ators and representatives, Pieaident
Taft told callers today that he felt cer
tain the amendments to tho interstate
commerce law, the postal savings bank
bill, the anti-injunction proposal and
the statehood bill would go through.
The situation now seems to portend
that the Alaska legislative council bill,
the Federal incorporation bill and sev
eral other measures desired by the
president will either fall by the way
Bide or be laid upon tho shelf for an
other session.
With a view to preventing specula
tion in Carey act lands, Representa
tive Mundell today introduced a bill
authorizing tho secretary of the inter
ior, on application by any state or ter
ritory, to withdraw temporarily from
entry lands which aro desired tor re
clamation undor that law.
It is provided that formal applica
tion for segregation, accompanied by
maps of tho proposed irrigation pro
ject, must be submitted within ono
yoar from date of withdrawal or elso
tho withdrawal will be revoked.
Jonos Drops Whitman Fight.
Washington, Fob. 23. The original
Jones bill, proposing to transfer tho
Walla Walla military reservation to
Whitman college has been abandoned,
the military committeo being unwil
ling to roport it. In its stead, Sena
tor Jones 1b now asking tho committeo
to fix the price on lands of this reser
vation and authorize the sale to Whit
man college, at a price which they de
termine to be reasonable. ThlB prepo
sition Ib up to the War department.
To Survey Columbia Slouch.
Washington, Feb. 18. Senator
Bourne today offered an amendment to
the rivers and harbors bill, providing
for a survey of tho Oregon slough of
the Columbia river, opposite Van
couver, WaBh.
ttldloaloua Cnmlom Thrive Dcnplte
Hie Wnritliiir of Scientist.
Onco moro the warning goo3 out
that kiBBlng is dangerous. This" timo
it is voiced by Miss Ellen M. La
Motto, tho ranking officer In Dr. Bos
j ley's corps of fair and accomplished
nurses, rnc contact or up ana up,
says Miss La Motte, affords an Ideal
opportunity for tho voyaging of patho
genic organisms. Most of these gorms,
when they enter. the body at all, do
so by way of the rmJuth. Of such sort
aro tho germs of diphtheria, tubercu
losis, meningitis, influenza, the simple
cold and all the familiar juvenile
plagues. Therefore, it Is thoughtless
and often cruel to kiss, and sometimes
suicidal to bo kissed.
Thus speaks science, and its man
date should be observed as to babies
and by invalids, tho Baltimore Sun
says. But the great majority of folks,
no doubt, will keep on kissing. We
havo often wondered at the enormous
popularity of tho exercise. Why do
people kiss? The act itself Is ridicu
lous as a spectacle and unsatisfying
as an amusement. Its solo physical
accompaniment is a feeling of suffoca
tion, and on the psychic side it is fre
quently embarrassing, particularly If
an unsuspected audience reveals Itself,
say, by Batiric whoops and catcalls.
It has none of the charm of other
pleasures, such-as solfeggio, eating
and automoblllng, for example. Kiss
ing will nolthor build up the anaemic
nor soothe the neurasthenic.
But still it thrives, and no jeremiads
on its perils will' ever work its aboli
tion. The man who makes a practice
of kissing the fair sex is a man at
tracted rather than repelled by dan
ger. He knows that every kiss he
steals is full of fearful hazards. The
girl herself may black his eye, stab
him with a hatpln.or call for the po
lice, and then again she may choose
to regard his Idle favor as an offer
of marriage, and accept him before he
can escape. Yet again, her father or
brothers, detecting him with his arm
around her neck and his eyes gazing
into her forehead, may rush In and
hall him as a relative, touching him
for small loans, calling him by hie
first name and seizing offensively upon
all the other familiarities which rela-tlves-In-law
affect. Finally, the mother
of the girl may knit him pulse-warmers
and send him amateur remedies
for his rheumatism and red nose, and
her little sisters may giggle every time
they see him.
No; It is impossible to scare the
seasoned kissing man with sinister
talk of microscopic reptiles. He Is
used to larger game, and he loves dan
ger. It Is his pleasure to dart out
Into space upon a gossamer strand,
blown by strong winds, and with the
fathomless. abyss of matrimony yawn
ing beneath him. In such grisly
Tioriis he Joys.
Fathers Will Be Fathers.
A Kansas man complains that since
nis daughter has taken music lessons,
which he paid for, she Insists upon
playing only classical stuff. When he
comes home tired and asks for a little
tune, he gets nothing but musical gym
nastics. The whole feminine part of
the community, ho thinks, Is in a con
spiracy to uplift him, and he doesn't
want to be uplifted.
It is just like father to make a com
plaint like that. Father never did take
kindly to culture. Ho sits disconsolate
In tho draughty kitchen, while daugh
ter's Browning Circle meets In the front
room. It Is mother's Idea entirely that
he put on an uncomfortable collar In
the evening and heard a missionary lec
ture on Borneo. Father's taste for mu
sic stops short at Suwanee River, and
he knows almost nothing about the
minor poets and the pre-Raphaelltes.
His art Ideas are derived from the
Illustrated Sunday supplement; he will
not sit In a Louis XVI chair and he
cares not a whit for the pottery of the
ancient Chaldeans. Shirt sleeves and
carpet slippers are his conception of
correct evening dress for gentlemen.
There Is little hope that anything
permanent can evor be done for father.
When the millennium comes he will
still bo found reading tho newspapers,
smoking up the window curtains, Im
peding progress and paying the rent.

AN OBSCURE BENEFACTOR.
William Henry UallliiKcr Fitted to
Itnnlc With Great Scientists,
Many men receive extended obituary
notlco who descrvo it far less than
ild a modest and unpretentious Meth
odist minister who died In England
a few days ago. The namo of William
Henry Dalllnger has not been greatly
trumpeted about, but It was borne by
a man who is entitled to be ranked
among those scientists of the past gen
'ration who contributed materially and
much toward the ascertainment of
truth, and especially of that truth
which Is of greatest fascination and
Importance tho origin and naturo of
life, the Now York Tribune says.
Dalllnger becamo especially interest
ed In this subject about forty years
ago, when tho old controversy over
spontaneous generation was revived,
with Bastlan and Tyndall as opposing
protagonists.
While he stood in the background
his researches and observations wero
of inestimable advantage to Tyndall,
and, indeed, to all scientists, both In
the direct result of his laboratory
work and also In the great impetus
which he gave to the Improvement of
microscopic lenses. His painstaking
Investigations, which extended through

From the reaffirmation of it by Tyn

every triumph of mosquito netting

benefits to the human race which havo

NOT TO BE MENDED.
Charles Dickens once wrote to a
friend, "I have distinguished myself in
two respects lately. I took a young
lady, unknown, down to dinner, and
talked to her about the Bishop of Dur
ham's nepotism in the matter of Mr.
Cheese. I found she was Mrs. Cheese.
And expatiated to the member for'
Marylebone, thinking him to be an
Irish member, on the contemptible
character of the Marylebone constitu
tion, and the Marylebone representa
tive." Two such mishaps in one evening
were enough to reduce the most bril
liant talker to the condition of tho
three Inside passengers of a London
bound coach, who beguileu the tedium
of the Journey from Southampton by
discussing the demerits of William Cob
bett, until one of the party went so
far as to assert that the object of their
denunciation was a domestic tyrant,
given to beating his wife.
Much to his dismay, the solitary
woman passenger, who had hitherto sat
a silent listener, remarked:
"Pardon me, sir, a kinder husband
and father never breathed; and I ought
to know, for I am William obbett's
wife."
Mr. Gile3 of Virginia and Judgo
Duval of Maryland, members of Con
gress during Washington's administra
tion, boarded at the house of a Mrs.
Gibbon, whose daughters were well on
In years, and remarkable for talkative
ness. When Jefferson became President,
Duval was Comptroller of the Treas
ury, and Giles a Senator. Meeting one
day in Washington, they fell to chat
ting over old times, and the Senator
asked the Comptroller If he knew what
had become of "that cackling old maid,
Jenny Gibbon."
"She Is Mrs. Duval, sir," was the un
expected reply.
Giles did not attempt to mend mat
ters, as a certain Mr. Tuberville un
wisely did. Happening to observe to a
fellow guest that the lady who had
sat at his right hand at dinner waa
tho ugliest woman he had ever beheld,
the person addressed expressed his re
gret that he should think his wife so
Ill-looking.
"I have made a mistake," said tho
horrified Tuberville. "I meant tho
lady who sat on my left."
"Well, sir, she Is my sister."
This brqught the frank avowal: "It
can't bo helped, sir; for If what you
say be true, I confess I never saw
such an ugly family in the course of
my life."
The Habit of Socialism.
"An arctic exploror must expect to
bo cut off from communication with
the world."
"Yes. Thoy seem to get so much In

Prayer,
