CONGRESSMAN ADAIR.

Congressman John A. M. Adair, of Portland, who has represented the Eighth district at Washington for four terms and who haa become one of the most Influential members of that body by reason of his splendid service to I' {he people, while In Terre Haute Friday (fiive out. an interview significant of the present political mind. He says "The people are not swapping horses in mid-stream. They cannot refrain from comparing the present days of prosperity and abundance with the lean days a few years back when depositors could not get their money I out of the banks and business men were conducting their affairs on 'white horse' scrip. Improvement in condttions can be traced direotly to the 5 Ssy-'-'V.elpful legislation enacted on the initiative of President Wilson and the tide of prosperity has just sot In."

Mr. Adair senses the public will, president Wilson doubtless could rely on his fine record In handling gigantic and complicated problems arising since the war for the support and encouragement of his people, but even this Is augmented by the wonderfully beneficial results for American buslness and commerce that have been achieved through such legislation as he has conceived and fathered. The presldent is stronger with the nation today than at any period in his public career.

WHAT TO DO.

Dr. T. W. Moorhead says now la the jeat time to swat the fly. A fly jjjP^Bwatted now works wonders towards reducing the fly census next spring.

The swatting process deprives him of the privilege of a free distribution of his eggs.

Also that season of the year is at hand when stubborn people shut their Windows right In the faces of the agitators, hygiene sharps and health reformers generally, who want them kept wide open. Their battletry is already heard and if one doesn't mind their no doubt truthful and deserving admonitions, they may yet get a law to insist that you keep your windows open.

But people are so perverse. Windows open means, as winter advances, the heaping high of blankets and bed quilts until one may feel as if ho were well nigh buried alive and dream that a Culebra slide had fallen in on him and likewise the frost that's on the pumpkin will gather gently on his nose and ears.

Sleeping with the windows wi-l-de open in December and January, the pulse of the furnace fire at Its lowest, nay, almost gone out, is "for them as likes it." Hygiene to be popular will have to be made comfortable.

CENTRAL BOARD 8Y8TEM.

Gov. Samuel M. Ralston, In his address before the state conference of charities at Rlchrpond, advocated a central board of control for our various penal and charitable institutions an Idea that is well worthy of consideration.

According to the last official estimate of the state assembly, these Institutions, seventeen in number, have cost the state $22,000,000, and that they have at times lacked the attention es

NO ALUM iijDgYAL,

sential to their most efficient operation, seems to pass undisputed. The governor proposes a non-partisan board of four members, salaries at $4,000 each, and a total traveling allowance of $9,000, or $25,000 in all. The cost of maintaining the present boards Is $29,400. ft Is argued that the central board giving all its attention to the institutions might accomplish great savings and do better work in the bargain. "The idea is not new," says the South Bend Tribune, "but that It. Is growing seems certain. It la in keeping with the tendencies of the age that general disposition of the people to want full value for their money. It is good to see such men as Governor Ralston taking it up, even though his term Is Just about to expire. It might have been better had he gone at It during one of the last two sessions of the assembly, and we bellerve he did recommend It In his last message to the senate and house, but be that as It may, the world was not made in a minute, nor do men reach their latest convictions before they have arrived. He has provided some meat for his successor."

WAR MANAGERS.

England has made the third change In her "war managers." Six men form the new British war council which will pass on all questions relative to the conduct of Britain's campaigns. They are Asqulth, Balfour, Law, Curzon, Kitchener and Lloyd George. This is the government's response to the pop ular demand that the conduct of the war be taken out of the hands of the unwle,l(Jy cabinet of twonty-two. The elimination of sixteen lenwes the foremost six to exercise practically dictatorial authority.

It is interesting to note that the name of Grey is omitted. Grey, of course, Is a diplomat and not a war specialist. But five of the al(x members of the supreme council are also without military training of special interest. They have been selected because of their prominence In British public affairs and their general ability. Grey was eligible on those grounds, and his omission will be Interpreted as a snub. The man who BO bungled Balkan diplomacy as to set back the cause of the allies quite beyond any possible esitmate of today is to have no further voice in the direction of the war. The punishment Is mild, as Sir Edward continues in the cabinet, Just as the deposed Vlvianl continues to sit in the French cabinet. j|

An Interesting aspect Of the war council is its distinctly conservative complexion. Only two of the councilors, Asqulth and Lloyd George, are members of the dominant liberal party. Balfour and Law are unionist leaders, while Curzon and Kitchener are known conservatives. The fact, that four of the six councilors have opposition affiliations is a sufficient proof of the determination to eliminate all political considerations and try for some way out of the present crisis.

8TATU8 OF VILLA.

Observers of events In Mexico who criticize President Wilson for recognizing Carranza Instead of Villa or Huerta have not realized the real situation there. There Is an important difference betwen the case of Villa and that of Huerta. The dictator was always persona non grata. Villa, on the other hand, haa been consistently a friend of the United States. He haa boon the pne Mexican leader who haa made a serlou seffort to hold the good will and respect of the greater republic. He has met American demands with a graclousneas little in accord with his reputation, and has studiously endealvored to avoid giving offen.se. At present, therefore, he feels that the United States has been ungrateful in recognizing Carranza, a man who ha# flouted the Washington government repeatedly. His resentment is bitter.

Moreover, Villa la desperate. From being one of the great chiefs of Mexico he has been reduced to his original status of desperado. His recklessness is shown in his determination to fight at Agua Prieta regardless of American protests. It is unlikely that In the fu-

ture any American protest will carry weight with Pancho If roving Villista bands continue to be marauders along the American border the Washington government wIL/ face a problem of new seriousness. For Villa would gladly Involve the Carranzlsta authorities In any possible difficulty, and the Carranza authorities now definitely stand for Mexico.

"The Stars Incite, But Do Not Compel." (Copyright, 1816, by :he McClur®

Saturday, November 0, 1915.

This Is a most unfortunate day, according to the reading of astrology. Although the sun is In bonefio aspect early In the morning Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus and Mars aie all strongly adverse.

It is not a good rule for dealing with bankers or lawyers. Transfer or securities Is unlucky today.

Quarrels and misunderstandings multiply while this configuration continues. It Is a sinister sway for domestic harmony.

Astrological conditions, believed to have influence In producing conditions of war in Europe, are operating In this country, the

Beers

declare, and for this

reason misfortune may be numerous and unhappiness widespread during the coming months. Mental poise and moral courage should be cultivated.

A new creed will bo mucn preacned, it Is declared, and "service" will become the watchword for men and women of every faith.

Persons whose blrthdate it 1b have the augury of rather an anxious year. Business affairs may not be satisfactory.

Children born on this day may encounter many difficulties, These subjects of Scorpio usually like travel and change and may lose through restlessness and impatience.

Tnia END—A BOJTNET.

There on the darkened deathbed dies the brain That flared three several times !n seventy years. It cannot lift the silly hand again, Nor speak, nor sing, it neither sees nor hears. And muffled mourners put it in the ground And then go home, and in the earth It lies Too dark for vision and toe deep for sound, The million cells that made a good man wise. Yet for a few snort years an influence stirs, A sense of wraith or essence of him dead, Which makes insensate things its ministers To those beloved, his spirit's daily bread. Then thaL, too, fades in book or deed a spark Lingers then that, too, fadesi then all is dark.

Duffy's, the great tonic-stimulant, gave Mrs. Catharine Doebler relief from stomach trouble after everything else failed.

"I suffered with stomach trouble for years. I consulted several of the best physicians, but no medicine did me any permanent Rood. Then I began to use Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. It helped me from the start, and I will never be without it. It is certainly a fine medicine for old people and I feel better now than I have for years."—Mrs. Catherine Doehler.

Proving that Duffy'a atanda the test of time, .lira. Doebler recently wrote nit na folio was "I have been taking Duffy's for quite a while and feel much better and stronger than before I commenced fo rake it. It Is a fine mcdicine for old

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Typhoid in Terre Hnute.

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 3.—Editor of the Tribune—My attention has recently been called to an article appearing In the Tribune of October 23, under the heading "Terre Haute Typhoid too Deadly, Says Doc" Referring to a survey of Terre Haute bv Dr. Howard Franklin Smith, of the U. S*. public health service, and quoting him on several topics. As Dr. Smith Is attached to this station, and was in Terre Haute on official government business under my direction, I beg have to rectify some misunderstanding to which the article may have given rise.

Your article gives the Impression, confirmed by Dr. Smith, that it is boned, not upon a direct interview with him, but upon a third party's report and realizing how difficult it is under such circumstances to convey the precise meaning of the party originally quoted, I would overlook the inaccuracies in this report but tor the fact that they do a certain Injustice to your city and some of its institutions.

It In stated, for example, that Dr. fcmlth visit to Terre Haute was ocV?nifl'?e(3»

Yy th0

occurrence last year

(ID 1.4) of eighty cases of typhoid feve:\ with eighteen deaths. This is a misapprehension, as the survey of Terre Haute was undertaken merely In tne course.of a broad sanitary survey covering all towns In the Ohio river' basin with over 10,00{) population, the object Of theTsurvey being to collect in-formation-concerning str,cam pollution and certain related sanitary conditions.

Again, the heading of your artielo gives the Impression that typhoid fever has been unusually fatal in Terre Haute, eighteen deaths having occurred among oighty cases reported. This gives a case mortal!tv of about 22 per cent, whereas usually not more than .TO per cont of tyohold coses prove ratal. Tho figures do not acrree with those, given by Dr. Smith in his official report, which gives, for 10M forty-nine 'cases (-eported. with eixtaen deaths But. granting that the figures quoted in your article are

official,

$10.00 Men $12.50 Men $15.00 Men $17.50 Men $20.00 Men $22.50 Men $25.00 Men

thev

do not necessarily prove that typhoid fever in Terre Haute ha* been more deadly than elsewhere. Almost universally deaths are reported more conscientiously than cases of infectious diseases, which

not terminate fatal

ly. with the result that the records, showing all deaths and only a part oi the cases, give an erroneous itnoress'on of case mortality. It iS altogether probable that this) has happened'in T&rre Haute,' that the number of typhoid cases was greater than reported.

and the proportion of deaths to casea not so excessive. With reference to the statement that no mattor how excellent the process of purifying water, some degree of contamination remains it' is. of course, literally true that the' processes of water purification are not perfect. This docs not mean, however, that the purification of water ty modern processes of filtration and disinfection is inadequate or unreliable. Provided water Is taken from a source not too greatly polluted, it can be so purified by well controlled filtration and disinfection as to be entirely safe and in all respects' acceptable for drinking purposes. A large proportion of the best city water supplies In this country are taken from more or lens polluted rivers, and purified by filtration.

I am assured that there has been no lack of conscientious effort to report Dr. Smith correctly, but I am equally assured from his written statement to me that he has been, to a-cer-tain extent, misinterpreted. I Wiil,

WHAT HE THOUGHT.

A barber, after scraping away Industriously for a few minutes, made the usual inquiry: "Razor all right, sir?" "My good man, If you hadn't mentioned it, I should have never known there was a razor on my face,"

The barber beamed. "Thank you, si/-," he said. "No," added the customer, reflectively, "I should have thought you were using a file."
