‘Do not live in a poorly ventilated house these coming winter months” is the warning issued by the Publicity Bureau of the Indiana State Medical Association. “You are not afraid of fresh air when you are out of doors. You should be even less afraid of fresh air in your room where there is the same need for it,” continues the
bulletin.
‘‘People who live in poorly ventilated quarters for a long period of
time become pale and thin, accord-j (Continued from ing to the bulletin. Their resistance |ing at the heart of to disease is lowered and they are | political bodies. It in danger of contracting colds, |loathsome thing

bulletin.
takes place to some extent through the materials of which a building is constructed. This form of ventilation depends upon changes in tem-
perature.
“Remember that cold air entering a room falls to the floor. As this cod air becomes warm it expands and either rises to the ceiling or goes through the fire place or thru stoves where it helps in the combustion of fuel. By this means a constant circulation of air is maintain-
ed.
“You can assist this
ventilation in various ways, may raise your windows slightly for an inlet. If you do this, a glass screen or a wooden screen sh juld be used to deflect the air upward and an outlet pipe may be placed over a fire place or a ventilator may be placed around the stove pipe if you are using a stove. You may also lower the upper window sash. “The stream of air that is constantly passing through a well ventilated room not only reduces the temperature but blows away the harmful gases which result from the combustion of candles, coal oil, and illuminating gas. It also blows away dust, bacteria, and foul odors.

The annual report of the Nation-
al Forest Reservation Commission, which has just been transmitted to Congress by Secretary of War Weeks, president of the Commission, calls attention to the fact that the aggregate amount of land which has been purchased for eastern and southern national forests now amounts to 2,346,354 acres. These national forest lands are distribu-
ted in 19 units in 11 states. There are being acquired in Ala-

OPERATION OF MUSCLE SHOALS IN PRIVATE HANDS
Senate Passes Underwood Bill Killing Leasing Clause. Washington, Dec. 17.—The Underwood Muscle Shoals bill today hurled the most formidable obstacle that has yet been placed in its path when it weathered a determined attempt to eliminate its private operation feature and limit to government operation. The amendment of Senator Smith (Democrat, South Carolina), which would have struck out all of the leasing provisions of the bill was defeated by a vote of 49 to 32. Senator Underwood said he regarded the vote as assuring final passage of his bill, which he predicted would be disposed of before Christmas. Vote Split Widely. The vote was split widely, more Republicans than Democrats, voting to sustain the Alabama senator’s bill. Thirty-four republicans and fifteen democrats voted against the amendment and eight Republicans twentyone democrats one y Farmer-Labor member and two insurgents voted
for it.
Senator Underwood- today again took notice of the Washington Herald editorial attacking him and his bill by charging on the Senate floor thot the editorial had been influenced by the fertilizer interests. Declaring he had found proof of his statement that a lobby had influenced the editorial, he read a bulletin, which he said had been issued by the National Fertilizer Association, with offices in Washington. The organi-
zation, he asserted, was referred to by farmers as the “fertilizer trust.” Calls Bill Objectionable. The bulletin said the Underwood bill was as objectionable as the Ford proposal and, as quoted by Senator Underwood, added that .“the writer has interviewed many senators during the last week and has been assured that they would carry the opposition to the last ditch.” The bulletin, the senator outlined, suggested that people in the South wire their senators to vote against the bill. He asserted the bulletin referred to the Underwood bill as' the “power companies bill.” PAUL KESSLER ILL “You will see,” he remarked, “where the motive for the editorial came from.” The subcommittee of the Senate judAdary committee, appointed to investigate the editorial, will hold its first; meeting Thursday. The subcommittee is composed of Senators Spencer, Missouri, chairman; Sterling, South Dakota; Butler, Mass., republican; Overman, North Carolina; Caraway, Arkansas, Democrats. Opponents Continue Fight. Opponents of the Underwood bill demonstrated today that they had not let up in their fight against the measure.
Japanese widows designate themselves as such by the arrangement of their hair, and also indicate whether they desire to marry again. A three-gallon can filled with kerosene passed through a fire at Wharton, Tex., unharmed when a home was destroyed. In clearing away the debris following the destructive fire, the filled can was found in a pile of smoldering ashes. A substitute for wood, containing 50 per cent sawdust mixed with chalk and chemicals, is said to be combustible only at high temperature.
The Moore Bridge
The expedition which started through the unbroken wilderness west of Munseytown several months ago to investigate the report made by explorers that a strange bridge had been discovered at an unapproachable point on the river, has returned to the haunts of civilization, aftei enduring unspeakable hardships, and has corroborated the statement of the discoverers of the bridge. _ It has now been established beyond the question-o^a doubt that the bridge is there. One of the early discov-
furnished her quota prers named it the Moore Bridge. The members of the

diseases.”
m order to make an approach to the bridge a grade will have to be constructed across the valley about a quarter of a mile in length in order to make it possible for per-
sons to drive over it.
This can be done at a trifling cost of twenty-five or

This man had taken one of the many educational courses at the penitentiary when he first entered the institution. He showed adaptability and was permitted to do some work “on the side.” Soon he was turning out beaded pocketbooks and other novelties which were sold outside the prison. The authorities kept the money obtained until he was ready to leave. He had entered It untrained and penniless and seven years later left the prison with thousands of dollars. Schooling is going on inside the walls of the “pen” under the tutelage of several institutions. Some of these may be correspondence school courses.

The average price paid by the Federal authorities for the total acreage stands at $4.98 per acre. During the past fiscal year lands approved for purchase amounted to 130,290 acres at an average price of $3.26 per acre, the lowest price
ever paid during any year.
The largest purchases during the past year were made in Pennsylvania, whero the purchase of 46,600 acres was authorized. In Virginia 61,533 was approved for purchase in West Virginia 14.760 acres was selected. In Alabama the purchase of 3,241 acres was author-

knew where he belongs, that’s why been learned, by the citizens of Munseytown.
The large piles of gravel erected in various parts of the county by a group of self sacrificing pioneers may be
utilized in the construction of this grade,
i The settlers who had to pay for this gravel are relieved to find that it is to be devoted to a useful purpose. The county commissioners, who authorized the piling of this gravel, refrained from informing their constituents what the gravel was to be used for. They wanted to spring a pleasant surprise. Their failure to explain before the election was disastrous to them and almost caused their defeat. If the people had only known it in time
, everybody would have voted for them.
It has been learned that the bridge was constructed i through a joint agreement entered into between the county commissioners and the thirteen more or less wise men who were appointed to administer the affairs of the trad-
i ing post of Munseytown.
The residents of the town and county are grateful : to their public officials, whose zeal, intelligence and forej sight have caused the construction of this beautiful new bridge and for their many other acts of patriotic devotion
. to the interests of their constituency.
There are some, however, who have been unkind enough to declare that the idea of building the bridge did not occur to them until after the gravel was heaped up and that it became necesary to construct the bridge in order to find a place to put the gravel, and thus, by using up all the gravel, make it necessary to pile up more gravel. I The sheriff of the county, in his desire to do every- ! body good, has consented to devote a part of the time that jhe ought to be spending on his road contracts, to the i patriotic duty of piling up more gravel. To show his de- | votion to the people ne is willing to tear himself away • from his official duties in order to perform this public
i service.
! Next month the legislature will meet at the state capiI tal and enact a law providing for a body of men to be I designated as state police, or state constabulary, who will 1 not be allowed to pile up gravel or build roads, but will be I required to wear large tin stars and relieve our sheriffs, j and other sheriffs of the state, who are so busy at other i things that they do not find the time to do whatever 1 sheriffs are supposed to do. Indiana is greatly blessed by public officials who know, better than the people themselves, what is good for them.
