MANCHES- HEALTH TALK—A BEGINNING What I shall say in these Ieison Make new frl nl talks will be largely an outgrowth of Those ar-'fl'v r.l, work with an organization Newnnde rl.,'jil-':*»olil: women, who meet once week „,,lC physical improvement. jTlmoandchiDK^. It is. easy to assume that we are Brownny wrlnkip. huttjgih, all members of a class, ready to be- jFriendrfhlpnryerow gin. Women naturally first ask for exercises that will correct some per sonal defect, cure some Individual ailment. But it is better to start with a wider outlook. The distinguished educator, Mr. C. Hanford Henderson, places gymnastic training first in the new order of ed ucation.^ Because "good health and abounding vitality are the foundation of all excellence." And because it has the still larger educational pur pose, *o add to the body beauty, grace and usableness to make It an admir able tool for the admirable purpose of heart and mind. While we must sometimes work— and work hard— for correction of bad physical tendencies, both acquired and inherited, we must never lose sight of this higher mission of bo(V ily education, "good health," abound ing vitality," "usableness," "the ad mirable tool for the admirable pur pose." Women especially are inclined to think that health is preserved by care. The only way to strengthen the body is by use. A certain amount of physical strength is necessary to experience the joy of living, as well ax to endure the hardships ami the strain of life. This Js the philosophy that will control all our efforts for physical betterment. And now one slinplej homely exer cise, for strength, beauty, and usable ness: Stretch and yawn not a suppress ed yawn, but a great big natural yawn. Stretch as a cat stretches. Sit ting in a stralgh chair or lying flat on the back, gradually energize the whole body, stretching to the top of the head to the end ot the toes, and to the finger tips^ at the same time opeptag the mouth wide, drawing in a great big long breath, filling the lungs full, getting a splendid sense of freedom then relax and feel "the perfect rest of letting go. Repeat several times. And then re peat ,at least once each day of life hereafter. We can stretch and yawn away more small troubles In a minute than we can argue) out of mind in a week.—Mrs. La Follette In La Fol lett's Magazine. /:fr I SON CASE. When judges administer the law, their decrees, though manifestly cr ronoiis, should be respectfully obey ed. This is necessary to good order. But i£ judges usurp authority, their lawless edicts should be ignored. This Is necessary to the preservation of liberty. For that reason, Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison— executive officers of the Am. Fed. of Labor and editors of "The Ameri can Fderationist"—are worthy of all commendation for having ignored a judge's injunction which assumed to control their public utterances. They stand in this, respect, not as labor leaders merely, but as editors and American citizens jealous of their fundamental rights of editorship and citizenship. By ignoring an injunc tion destructive of their constitution al rigt to print and publish upon re sponsibility only for abuse of the right, and solely to a jury, they have been vindicating constitutional guar antees of the first Importance. Tlie fact that it is a judge instead of an executive whom they have thereby disobeyed make* no difference. Judges may be tyrants, too and it is as true of them when they usurp power, as it is of every other kind of tyrant, that disobedience to a tyr ant is obedience to lie law.—Louis F. Post in the Public. 1 WHY CONGRESS HATES VELJ. Des ROOSE- The New York Evening Post sum marizes the reasons why congress shows such intense-hatred of lloose velt as follows: "It Is in a word that Congress does not believe in President Roosevelt's moral sincerity. It thinks him hypo critical. He has lectured it and the country on truthfulness, yet nine out of ten Congressmen fcelieve Mr, Roosevelt himself to be habitually untruthful. He has posed as a cham pion of fair play, yet Congressmen believe him to fight foul. The ture him as living in and delighting in an atmosphere of suspicion, in trigue and calumny. His talk of the square deal they scoff at as sheer pretense. They say that he protects favorites, such as Paul Morton and the Steel Corpora tion, while furiously prosecuting his enemies or those whom he thinks he can make political capital by at tacking. hi short, Congress Is thoroughly convinced that all the su^ perior moral exhortation Wihich it has had from President Roosevelt has some from a man who allows in him self the thing he condemns others." ®SS- SPECIAL LINCOLN STAMP.

Trained Health Officers Essential. Diag nosis Must be Early/ .Moines, January 15—Though very much him been done to educate the people of our state with reference to tuberculosis as a prnventable di sease, yet but desultory and feeble effort has been made along prevent ive lines. .Much has been said and written concerning the control and final eradication of tuberculosis which has been "inspired by but sup^ erflclal Investigation. Tuberculosis is a disease of the masses and any method to combat It must incorporate a reformation of our present social conditions. Tuberculosis is a result" of conditions in modern life which weaken physical resistance of the hiu man body and prepare a fertile flek*' fcr the cultivation of the seeds of (8 eease and death. Some of the devit alizing influences in modern society, which must be reckoned with ar# overcrowding in centers of popula tion due to increased cost of living, overwork, and underfeeding—espec ially in mothers and children—uneaA itary, illventilated and uuwholesomi f&awn mSMHWiiii sipatlou. Poverty and want induce this disease with reckless abandon. That the education of the masses on the, transmlssable character ol' tuberculosis is an exceedingly im portant thing cannot be doubted. It is preliminary and necessary to any well defined action. It is, metaphor ically speaking, the marshalling and massing of fighting forces jn aggres sive combat against the disease. But it little matters what a splendid army we may have at our command, if we do not crush the enemy in his strong hold. We may in a desultory way here and there win an occasional vic tory, but so long as society tolerates conditions as they are today, tuber culosis will recruit its forces indefi nitely. Any scheme of combat there fore which does not involve social reformation must in the very nature .o' things prove abortive. As a step preliminary to the final eradication of tuberculosis, registra tion of all persons suffering from this disease, is -believed to be the most important. Such registration in no wlsa contemplates the publicity ot the name or residence of afflicted persons. Indeed health officers alone would have charge of such records and the records would never be open to public inspection under severe pen alty. Both Maryland and New York have such laws which have proven valuable and efficient. It is not ar gued here that laws applicable to those eastern states would be avail able for Iowa, but the necessity for the control of our tuberculosis pop ulation cannot be a subject of ser ious debate. Such a registration law would oper ate to change the social conditions which now perpetuate tuberculo-iis it would establish visiting nurses "as sociations and day camps it would build retreats and sanatoriums and care for the consumptive "at the right time, in the right place and iii the right way," thus robbing this di sease of much of its terror. Moreover such registration would secure the early recognition of thi« disease. It would bring to the task lealth officers especially trained in the pathological changes of early tu berculosis men skilled In the tech nique of diagnosis and treatment men with a broad general understand ing of scientific and efficient meth ods men of culture, sympathy, honor, and good judgment. In the treatment of tuberculosis the method must originate with the phy sician, but in any event if the con sumptive Is to get well lie must have the knowledge and experience of a vcl trained physician. At this time early detection, registration, and hos pitalization of tuberculosis seem? to be the trio most potential in its erad ication.

On account of the commencement of immigration traffic to the west and other parts of the country, rail rrads are rushing freight cars to their various divisions to supply«the increased demand. While accommo dations are frequently denied ship pers, yet for the most part, the rail ways are able to furnish satisfactory service. Box cars are more scarce than those in which "stock are hauled. The UG-foot car is oftentimes more desirable than the 33-foot car. The Milwaukee and Great Western report ed.last, week a scarcity in fr^sji^^pH,-. ing stoclf while the Illinois. Central was able to supply its patrons and admitted that box cars were "a drug on the market." The Illinois Central has been sending empties to its west ern and northern divisions in rapid succession, which would signify that the demand is about to begin "V MILITARY DRILLS IN COLLEGES The government assigns to. each of nearly one hundred colleges in the United States an officer, active or re tired, from the regular army, to con duct the cadet corps drills and rifle practices. It also makes appropria tions for supplies and ammunition. Reports indicate that military train ing in the various colleges is making no progress. A lack of discipline la noticed by the inspectors, and no pro vision is made for rifle range prac tice. The state papers have taken the matter up, and declares that in stead of foot ball teams and fra ternities, the High schools should have their cadet corps and be in structed in marching movements and military tactics. CHURCH TRIAL AT TAMA. Charges have been preferred against Rev. J. B. Wyatt of Kenwood Park, a well known minister., in the Upper Iowa conference of the Meth odist Episcopal church. The hearing was made Thursday at Tama before Dr. W. F. Pitner, superintendent of the Marshalltown district, and for merly pa&tor of the Methodist church ut Manchester. Three ministers al lege that Rev. Mr. Wyatt did not pay his just debts, and among these luuking the charge was Rev. C. \V. Rogers of Strawberry Point. Rev. H. O. Pratt of Tama, also a former pastor of the church in this city, was cno of the jurors before whom the trial tf&s heard. BOSTON DISLIKES THE COMIC. The decision of the Boston Herald to abandon its comic supplement pub lished with the'Sunday issue, renews the discussion of this journalistic pol icy. The paper explains editorially that "a great newspaper no longer needs a clown'' and states that the comic supplements have ceased to be comic. "They have become as vulgar In design as they are tawdy in color. There Is no longer any semblence of art in them, and if there are any ideas, they are low and descending lower" adds the Herald. ONE ON PAT.. The Independence Conservative is authority for this story: Martin Sheeley, a popular Illinois Central brakeman, tells of the following con versation between two Irish section hands at a station between Manches ter and Waterloo. They were in a car house during the noon hour and engaged in a friendly game of poker. Pat drew a card. Mike said: "Yeze drew a spade." "How the divil d'ye nnfi know it was a spade?" asked Pat with "Because I saw ye spit OH yer hands [whin y^ze picked it up," replied Mike. K.'
