11V M. Met. STOOPS. FKIOAY, JAN. SO.!»». —,—;—«—- Tn* «lv taxes aro loo high. Why ? well look at the salary list. The J)*moc*at Is for a reduction of salaries. Ii will Ut in order at the coming election to elect men to office who wlll-see rhit the salary list is fedilced. . Tnc oil liens of Petersburg have a right to know just what every dollar of their money is expended for and irbai makes their taxes so exhorbliant. Of course itiey were not aware A>f the fact that over $1500 was ex)>ended In salaries. Tm new Columbian postage stamp has keen issued. It is almost twice a* large as the ordinary stamp, and is purple instead of red, and instead jof the head of the Father of his Country it contains a representation of the landing of Columbus, thejSrandfathtsr of his Country. - - It is a fact complimentary to the democracy of the country that,* the president-elect is less besieged by of-*ieo-aeekers than is the president by office-holders seeking an extension of Ihe civil service rules to cover their jobs. President Harrison is quoted as saying that his order of last^week; fn extending Ihe rules was ae far a6 he would go. All things considered, he went too far at that time—further 4han dignity or decency will justify. Gov. Chase’s message to the legislature appears on the first cage of this Issue, It is an able public document and contains many recommendations worthy of adopotion by <uur law-makers.—Hoekport Journal. We arc glad to see our republican exchanges “own up thecoin”and stand by the election, school book' and tax laws as adopted by the democratic! law makers and endorsed by Governor Chase. An open confession is good tor the heart. Mr. Chewning yrill not dare go back ou his assertions Jhat lie was wrong during the last campaign.

At tlie may election lor town officers a square tight will be made against the machine politicians tor a renovation of the affairs of Petersburg. The plain people want a reduction of taxes and salaries. With the present high salaries it is impossible to lower the tax rate in Petersburg. The Democrat does not Charge any of the officials with doing any wrong, yet the salary list is too high and should be reduced. No offense, gentleman of the council, but /he reductions must be made. A bill has been introduced In the senate requiring town and city clerks to publish a detailed statement of the receipts and expenditures. A statejnepi in regard to the affairs of the town of Petersburg would make /nighty interesting reading. Many citizens of the towu of Petersburg will be surprised to learn that the salaries of the officers of this little j-ity aggregate something over $1,500 per year. The select few of Petersburg who rnu the machine “politics peed not wony over small items. Petersburg is without a town treasurer. Emmet M. Smith having nioved from this city to Muncie he /ms virtually relinquished tiie office. It is now in order for the town trustees to appoint au official to act inthat capacity. The law on the subject is as follows: fc Article 6, Section 156. of tlic Constitution of Indiana.—“All county, township and town officers should reside within their respective coontles, townships and towns; end shall keep their respective offices at such places therein', and perform such dutlesfes may be ^directed by law.” Mr. Smith has not resigned and by peason of his moving the office is now yacant. Jt is now the duty, and has been for sometime past—of the town board to appoint snchTifficer to fill .out the unexpired term of Mr. Smith. JL.et the council take notice of this fact.

Many citizens of Petersburg arc pot a ware just how much money is being paid out iii salaries to the dif-i ferant officials of the cltv, and when the statement is made that more than $1500 is annually paid out in Salaries they look on in amazement and won-u /3*r how it comes about. To be plain about the matter the figures are correct aujj it may figure a little more than that. But be that as it may, a reduction is necessary, and to bring about tlie necessary reform it will be , *or the people Jo $av at the coming flection in May whether the same Jhing shall continue. To begin this expense the marshal is or was paid 940 per month, or $480 per year, with all necessary fees attached. The treasurer receives $175 per year. The plerk $100. per year. The councilmen, fire jn number, $2 00 for each meeting attended. Chief of fire department, $12 per year, also each member of the fire department.. The street /•ornmissioner receives, $1.50 per day. |t is $10 every time the town trustees meet and they meet regular twice a month, beside* the special meetings. Tlie street commissioner pats ip conr aidersble lipns during the road-work-ing season. The street commissioner plight be disposed ot and put the dopes pn the town marshal, and thns .economise. The school trustees’*-we pnderstand receive $75 each. |f yon jrill take the time ty figure up the pbojre you will see th$ft the foo'ing prill run something over $1500. Have you ever known yhat it takes to run jhe l$wn government! fVell, the iires are before yon. What are yon going 19 do about it ? Will muchine politics guide yon again at the polls, oy arc yon in favor of reform f Cook tjic matter up at once. „ There is no politics in this, but Th* P*moP*at simply desires to show the peo- ’ how their money, or part of it, Is,

Through all ages, from the sailing of Noah’s ark, down to the present time unaii seems to have but crude, it any ideas at all, of the laws of hygiene; for a careful investigation into ancient history fails to disclose the (act, of any of the occupants of the ! illy-ventilated watercraft ever taking a hath during their long voyage ol forty days and uights, although water was absolutely pleutiful at the time, aud it scents from the investigation of modern history that the human family, as the busy world moves on atfd the people ^re daily startled by some new revelation of science, are forgetting and criminally neglecting, more and more, the laws oi God, and the likeness of Godliness. For the .average life of man stauds today a towering monument to his disobedience of the laws of nature. However, to have a proper understanding of the results of transgression of the sanitary laws it might be defined as an excess, a defect or a perverted condition of the ideal perfection of man. Sanitary science means cleaniiuess in all departments of life. If I were to give you an unabridged definition of the term and point out the unlimited territory that it covers I might be standing here at this time tomor-i row, but lime will not permit hence I will give yon only a few of the most important hints concerning yourself, your house, and surroundings. It is an old biblical addage that cleanliness is next to Godliness. I ask is it true? and from the stagnant pool, from the decaying vegetatioiu.around the house, from the supply of impure water from the barn and barnyard, from the long-used privy vaults, from the kitchen, from the cellar, from the person and from every passing breeze the echo answers to our nose, yes a thousand times yes.

We will low take up the individual and briefly discuss some ol the most important points essential to the preservation of Health: First—A man should eat clean, wholesome, well prepared food taking it at the proper time and m moderate quantities, bridling his ‘ambition for at least one hour after the meal that the stomach may have an undisturbed period for its work ; for upou the condition of man’s digestive organs depend his disposition for labor and his power of endurance. Second—Through the hot season ot the year he should keep his skin active and free from all excrementious matter thrown off by the chemical force of waste and repair. This is done by the free use of water at leas' twice a week, bathing just before retiring at night. ‘Third—No clothing which is used throngb the day should be worn at night because they do to some extent contain the poisous excreted by the skin. ‘ ' i Fourth—The sleeping apartments should be well ventilated and contain not less than one thousand cubic feet of air to each individual, for hdw essential is it to have all the elements necessary for the recuperation of the vital forces, which have undergone the wear and tear of the day. Fifth—The last but nort the least important point I wish to call your attention to in speakiug of the individual, is the great sewer pipe of the system—the bowels; and I want to say to you, in passing briefly over my subject, that this is one of the most neglected of all the laws of nature and yet, one that should be thought of and regarded every day of our lives. Why, I have known persons who kept their bowels so well filled that their breath actually gave their condition away; and I remember one person in particular, whom the Lord had blessed with all the attractions of form and beauty, one in whose love and presence I had almost concluded I conld spend a lifetime of peace and happiness, and, leittiflf over the old rusty gate I had just finished my declaration to her, when the moon, in all its sacred kiudness, peeping from behind a passing cloud, revealed the fact that her position was still unchanged and I kissed her sqnarely in the mouth.

Your house should be constructed in a way that it will protect you from the wiuter’s chilly blast as well ias the scorching rays of mid-sum-mer's snn. The windows should be large and commodious that plenty of air and Bunlight may enter the room —a necessary meaus for the destruction of the myriads of infectious germs whose only mission is ta find inviting soil and develop disease in the human system. Your water should be well guarded from surface filth, for through it such diseases as typhoid feyer, dysentery, cholera and many others too numerous to mention, are conveyed into the system. Hence, the point* I wish to call your attention to in the construction Of a cistern are: First the location, which should be some place where the surface water will drain from instead of into the cistern. Second—It should have a capacity to bold an abundance of water through the long dry seasons: for drinking purposes and household use. Third—A cistern should be well wailed and cemented that no surface water may enter. Fourth—The water should be led from tHfe house through a fitter of eharacoai into the cistern, to catch as inueli of the impurities as possible or, a eti!i better method, have the cistern divided into halves by a brick wail abou t nine inches thick allowing the water to low Into one tide and gradually filter through the wall into the othe-j w)j#re the water, by .seeping

1 want to tay to you that the well* in this country- are a great source of disease, especially In the tlrv season when the water is Ipw and we are [compelled to depend on the scanty supply. During the summer mouths of this year we had an endemic of dysentery and typhoid fever and a careful observation forced me to conclude that the source of infection was through the Use of low well water; for in every instance when called to see a case of typhoid fever I gave instructions to boil the water or quit the use of it and 1 never had the second case in the same family. The above precaution had not been taken in the treatment of dvsente*y. hence, in many instances every member of the family was infected. It is true we may get the poison direct from the stools of the typhoid or dysenteric patient or may get it ludirectly by casting them into the privy vaults, by burying them iii the ground or by a more frequent habit of emptying the vessel iu the back yard or on a favored spot >n the garden where next spring’s oniou bed is to be made. The proper way for the destruction of the poisonous germs requires but little trouble or expense. It can be done by pouring boiling water or a solution of bichloride of mercury ovor them. Your yard and garden should be kept free from all tilth, garbage, decaying vegetation and stagnant pools of dish and bath water which are the favorite resorts of the goose and duck, where in their hydro-nature they delight iu stirring up the hot beds of disease germs. ’ The ysrd should be decorated with a requisite number of shade trees for the comfort of the family aud, a proper dUtauce apart aud from the house to admit plenty of air aud suushine. The water closet, my friends, is a place little thought of except when urged to comply with nature’s demands, and the idea of making it a place of cleanliness and comfort might seent ridiculous to the laity, nevertheless it could aud should l»e

My idea of Ibe construction of a | water closet that may be kept in the proper sanitary condition, is what might be termed the dry vault system. This is doue by the use of a drawer which receives the excrementilions matter and may be taken out and emptied once a week, washed, disinfected and replaced, which makes the closet free from all the abominable filth aud foul odor so characteristic of the old vaults which often contaiu years of accumulated excretion. with never even a handful of lime to mar the habitation and untiring energy of the infinitesimal microbes. Throngh the winter season the barnyard of the average farmer .s not a thing of beauty, but of mud and manure, so deep in fact that “Old Dobbins” dreads to wade it in getting to the water trough to quench his thirst, and “Old Briudel” invariably holds up her tail as she heads for the barn door, through a uatural disposition to keep as . much of the body above the surface as possible and also to furnish a hand hold in assisting the milkmaid in reaching a dry spot in the stall/where she has a cold, half hour’s work in cieauing the cow’s teats before sho can proceed to pail her. Although she may be as careful as possible we find, after the milk has stood an hour or so, enough fertilizer in the bottom of the vessel to enrich a potatoe patch which however, does not reach the potatoe patch, but our stomach instead. This barnyard whieh is always near your house, iu fact, right at the back door, may be changed from a quagmire of filth and disease to a clean, healthful lot by macadamizing j with the stones scattered about the] place. I Iu conclusion we will summarize the points most essential for* your daily observations, as follows: Be regular in>11 your habits. Remember that fresh air and sunshi ne are indispensable to health aud happiuesa.

Remove your clothing and take a sunbath once a week. Keep your body cleau by the free application of water an«^soap. Purify'the premises around the house by burning all decaying vegetation in the fall and all accumulated garbage in the spring.. See that your milk cows get plenty of pure water both in summer aud in winter. Keep the stalls cleau that foe milk may not be flavored by the skin having absorbed the manure, Neitfter should you forget that the privy demands respectful attention, not only for the accommodation it affqrds but for the distressing results brought on through its neglect. The last and most important point in summarising, is the water supply as a means of preserving health and preventing disease if judiciously used and cautiously guarded. Guard it as you would the treasured vaults taf wealth, guard it, for it may take from you that which wealth canuot buy. Guard it, and the gentle zephyrs will play among the silvery locks of age at the century stone. And now my friends if I have said even one thing, if I have advanced a single .idea, that'will be the means of making yon adhere more closely to sanitary lews I will feel amply paid for having read this short paper. __2_ Hew Try This. - It will cost you nothin a and will surely do yon good, if you have a cough, cold or any trouble with throat, chest or lunige Ur.
