To-day my enemies are scattered, disgraced, dead. At that time i as slandered, and there were even plots against my life by assassins! Writing of this to the late Governor riiggins I said: "Oh. Gov ernor, uarlin"! Just watch me crawl. I slap them on the mouth and bid defiance to all the devils In hell and all the assassins on earth." I feel better every time I give, that crawl. roil may say. Why did I not tell this before? I liavf written to many for twenty years, but with out avail, to warn others of these dangerous plots, hut stupidity could not understand me.

The great pure food problem of the future, ac cording to I): Thomas Darlington, of the Board of Health, Is the proper care »f^SSSS?£ after they reach the Individual kitchen. Talking to the Home Economic^ Association of Greyer New York, at th. Hebrew Technical School for ..irl- > - terdav afternoon, he said that it didn't do much good for the Health Department to see that .the food reached the consumer in good cond.tion ,f the iKUseuite kept it for days in an icebox or a _ bath tub without any Ice. And. unhappily. many house keepers, he added, haven't any ice boxes, nor any ice to put In them if they had. Dr. Darlington didn't know that it was the M.si ness of the Health Board to teach people how to take care of their food, but there was no knowing be said, how its function might be enlarged in the future and In any case it will be part of the dutj of the nurses who will look after the health of the twer.tv-five thousand babies to be born this sum mer to teach their mothers how to care properly for the food of the family. In the matter of Insuring the purity of food when it reaches the consumer, Dr. Darlington stated that enormous strides had been made during the last few years. "When we first sent our Inspectors into other states New Jersey, Connecticut, even Maryland— to examine the sources of the milk supply, we were told that we had no business outside our. own city, but we settled that question by saying. 'If we don't know what is in it we don't propose to buy it.' And the courts sustained us. If we don't know what is In the food sent to us, we may dump it Into the North River, and after we have done that once we have no difficulty in gaining access to the source of supply. ' Our food supply is now far bet ter than it ever was before, for people have learned that it doesn't pay to send bad food to New York."

THE GOSPEL OF REST. Woods Hutchinson Believes Too Much Exer cise Is Enfeebling. The gospel of laz:rir=.« is preached with enthusi asm by Woods Hut hlnson, M I>.

Is not a period of stagnation, but a time of inter,..- activity. During sleep, especially, we build up "capital to be spent recklessly during our waking hours." The tired desk worker who turns to active exer cise—a hard bout at tennis, a Ion*;, brisk walk— ls not always building as well as he thinks "If the exercise be too violent for the enfeebled muscles of the brain worker, or too long continued. . then muscular exercise will often simply pile fresh waste poison ri ujKin an already smouldering :r. and Increase one's exhaustion Instead of relieving it.

But although the colonel bolstered up kiis proposition with long row? of statistics, nil of which he read, it was not received very enthuslasticsily by the Audience.

Lettenbauer, German consul at Cincinnati: Mayor Bond and eleven hun dred tusiness ir.'-n of Columbus. Count yon Bernstorff spoke on social legistation In Germany, which, he said, was initiated hy a message of Emperor William I in 189, Impressing upon the Reichstas the necessity of furthering the welfare of the working people. Discussing the in dustrial insurance feature of the German laws, be said. In part: The wages of the German workmen have of late been much spoken of in this country, but the fact , has mostly escaped notice that the Industrial in surance laws must be taken into account if we i wish to pass a fair judgment upon the wages and j standard of life of the German workman. On the one hand, the employer is heavily taxed i by these laws, a tax which must be added to the j cost of production, and. on the other hand, thanks j to the insurance law;-, the employed enjoy benefits such as the workmen of other countries cannot count on. The first of the three laws I intend speaking of requires insurance against sickness in the case of all persons who arc regularly employed for wages . and do not earn ore than 2.000 marks yearly. There are six groups of Insurance agencies— the i local sick funds established by parishes for ( branches of trade within their limits; the Indus- | trial or factory sick funds, conducted in connec- j tion with the huge undertakings; the building j trades sick funds, which contractors of buildings are bound to establish; . the guild sick funds, and the miners' s'ek funds. The regulations of these funds differ In many details from one another, but the genera] basis of Insurance is the same. The law provides for a minimum benefit, which consists Of free medical attendance and medicine from the beginning of the sickness, and in Ui< event of incapacity for work, sick pay from the third day of the. lllness amounting to half the daily wages, on which the contributions have been based. The longest period for which sick pay is granted Is twenty-six weeks, after which, should Incapacity continue, the liability Is transferred to the Invalid ity insurance fund, though medical assistance may ; continue for a year. Where a person upon whom others depend for support is attended in a hospital, half the sick pay t r > hich he would otherwise have bad a claim Is pj . J to them. The receipt of an invalidity or old age pension depends on the payment of tn» prescribed statu tory contributions and the occurrence either of In .-fl ility to earn a livelihood or the prescribed age of qualification, namely. the npleted seventieth ye-ir. There are mree contributions, equal pay ments by the employers and their insured work j people and a subsidy by the empire of . r >° marks j toward every pension granted. The amount paid i as pension differs according to the wage '-lass and j the duration of the contribution. In inufi the number of persons Insured against sickness was 11'. <f.*.70r,. the number of persons in- ! sureri against accident 19.227.213. and the number j Insured ac.-iinsf old age and Invalidity. 11.142.7"". ; The entire receipt of the sickness ins;:ranc«* fund j in the same year wen 314.461.531 marks, those of i the accident Insurance 189.708 58" marks, md those of the old age and Invalidity bind. 263.340.791 • The expenditure for t li*=> same year was 187.163 mark.- paid in nick relief. li>.".!>»>. !_'l marks paid Ir. compensation for acctilr>nts. and 182.353.360 marks ' paid in old age and Invalidity pension.

In a de cision yesterday ?aid that if the warring fa in the corporation of Bonwtt Brothers, manufact urers ..f women's skirts, do not ir°t together May 3 he will appoint a receiver to tak- o;tr» of the property and continue the business.
