sippi River. A nice little sum to
pour down that rat hole.
If President Wilson listens to
the job seekers he will yank the
postoftices out from under the
civil-service restrictions so quick
it will make one dizzy to watch
him.
Governor-elect Major has
named a number of appointees
to the stal e offices within his giii
and, it is almost needless to add,
the appointees are all good "ma
chine" men.
Wo arc getting a surfeit oi
tariff hearings, and trust hear
ings." during all of which the in
terests that are under scrutiny
in these quest ionings are taking"
things easy. Thev are getting
quite used to hearings.
Speed Mosby of Jefferson City
will be state, beer inspector un
dertime n;w state r;drninistration.
Mosby does not belie his first
name when it comes to picking
up the official plums. He is al
ways one of the lirst to get there.
We seem to have been misin
formed, B. 1. Cahoon, Jr , is not
an applicant for the Frederick
town postuiastership, and wih
not be. it is said. This does not
dispose of B. B. senior, however.
We are confident the latter will
ask for something.
The sight of the Democrats en
joying the fat and succulent "'pie"
will ill nourish the Hull Moosers,
who are left to feast on nothing.
Still, wherever you see a Demo
crat talking to a Progressive he
is sure to be saying, "Hy George,
you surely should keep up your
organization; you done fine."
That the Democrats will try to
temporize in then- taviff reform
program is pretty certain, and,
as usual, will therefore betray
their platform. There are too
many prominent and influential
men in the party who are inter
ested in maintaining protective
scnedules that one is almost safe
in predicting that the whole of
the tariff legislation under the
incoming administration will be
pretty much of a farce.
While our Democratic friend?;
are vociferously disclaiming their
belief that toe success of theii
party will be followed by lallin"
prices and hard times, it seems
that theyaivj not anxious to make
any investments on the basis of
their belief until they see whether
ovents confirm their convictions.
They don't feel like taking their
party on trust in a matter of dol
lars md cents. Meanwhile our
offer is still open on that colt.
Attorney General Wiekersham
seems to be quite anxious to drop
t he prosecution of Mi-. Standard
Oil Arehhold. who is under indict
ment by a federal grand jury in
the stave of Texas for criminally
violating the anti-trust law. The
Attorney General says lie can
not see enough evidence against
the defendant to make it worth
while to push the case Why
not go ahead and let the jury de
cide this question? That is the
way all poor devils have to get
their justice when they are once
indicted in the federal courts.
Congress is bus with the- an--nuul
work of throwing the public

This would be about oOO,0(XUH0.

Secretary McVeigh

made some recommendations for
reform in our financial sstem

don't know much about national

tain remedy for our periodic fi
naneial troubles and that is, t
centralize the money power witl

money panic of UK)" at once when
ir threw the financial power ol

did it through the Morgan banks,
who reaped a profit from the use
of the public money, of which
profit they returned none to the
people. .Inst why the American
people persist, in remaining so
blind to the great opportunity
of making themselves through,

Disease Carriers.
After recovering from the act
A!,. s o an in ectious
disease, the convalescent has the
germs in his system for a longer
or shorter period of time, vary
ing from a few days to a few
weeks. In a small percentage
- 1 01 convalescents the germs re-
main in the system over long
periods from a few months to a
number of years. In infantile
paralysis the germs are found in
the secretions of the mouth and I
nose. Those coming in contact)
with these secretions may receive 1
infection. In scarlet fever the-
secretions of the mouth and nose :
may be infected for two months
after recovery from the disease.
In diphtheria the secretions of
the mouth and nose may be in
fected for an indefinite period of
time. In typhoid fever, the gall
oiaut.er may oecome miected and
stones may be the direct result!
of the infection, or the gall blud- j
aer may become inflamed or even !
develope an abscess. People!
having-such germs in this way
and carrying infection are called j
DISEASE CARRIERS
Such people are perhaps the;
most important agents in keep- J
ing the entire list of infectious
diseases ulie by being the means
for tiansmitting the disease
germs from one person to anoth
er. Tiie care and the disposition
of these people are perhaps the
most important question in the
prevention of diseases.

Danger in Lying in Bed.
Lack of muscular exercise is
the tirst result of lying in bed.
As a result the appetite is weak
ened and the digestive action
slows down and the muscle of
the stomach and abdomen cease
to act upon the intestinal mas,
When the body is in a recum
bent position the heart wotks
with the least fatigue and the
circulation and the functional ac-
iivities are ciecreaseu.
But unless tho subject is ex
ceptionally vigorous, all the ben
efits are counterbalanced by
dangers. Iu bed, the ubject is
shut away from fresh uir and
sunshine. The result being u
condition similar toanemia. But
the supreme menace to the weak
or aged confined to bed is the
clogging of the pulmonary circu
lation, which frequently results
in passive congestion of both
sides of the lungs. For this rea
son the fracture of a bone may
be the cause of death, because
wheu the patient lies in bed
thure i no movement of the
muscles to act as an incentive to
deep breathing. H a r p e r s
