(Editor of The Palladium: a ' In your issue of March 30, last, a story appeared under the caption of "Won't Permit a Pest House at Reid Hospital," and in a measure, criticises the proposition of the city health officer to erect such a building on the hospital grounds. The history of that proposition will, perhaps, be interesting to your readers. In the early months of 1007, the board of trustees of Reld hospital, were casting about for a reason to assign to the city council for aid in supporting the institutiona deficiency- plainly under this management (? staring them in the face. At a special meeting of the board and the medical staff, the question was put to , the staff of twelve members, as to the advisability of ant . nexing the pest house to the hospital ""and erecting on the hospital grounds a building for contagious cases. From the standpoint of contagion the medical staff assured the board that the proposition was feasible. The proposition became public and a revolt was echoed from the citizens of Spring Grove, and because of the sentiment ' that such proceedure would deter many of our citizens from' patronizing the hospital, especially "during the time that small-pox patients . were treated there, in conformity., with such revulsion and sentiment, the medical staff took the stand that from a business view it was in admissible to adopt the , proposition, and later indorsed by resolution to the board, their opposition to It. But something must be done in order to show that the hospital was prepared to take care of the sick of the city in all cases and incidentally get the aforesaid aid. Your paper states - that the board has proposed to the mayor that if the city will make an annual allowance of $6,000 to the hos

pital, it will erect, at the end of two years, a contagious ward building for "diphtheria, scarlet fever and measles." That is plausibly in behalf of the dear babies and children. But do you grasp the joker? Scarlet fever has pent Its force. Diphtheria is promptly controlled with antitoxin and soon will pass away. Measles kills none, and is regarded jokingly. .'These are not the factors that demand an isolation ward. When the trustees selected their architect and the doctors endeavored to inject suggestions he stated, "I was told to say that I am draughting plans for the trustees not for the doctors." And today they have no place for Infected surgical cases, nor tuberculosis, nor erysipelas, and hence they are undesirable cases. But it is made to appear that contagious diseases of mild nature ought to be provided for and' hence the , proposition to the . city give . us- more y money, whereby we may create a department. What for? To meet that which the self perpetuating- board neglected to do long ago. 'Tte diplomatic, you know, to ' put it the other' way. ; "Fool part of the -people -part of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of . the time." JOHN M. WAMPLER, M. D.

TWINKLES That Superior Attitude. "How do you know that Pendribble's play was not a success?" "Because - he has so much to say about the prejudice of critics and the stupidity of the public." Among Statesmen. The rhetoric unhindered flies; -A contradicts what B affirms. Whate'er ill feeling may arise, ., They're always found on speaking - terms. ' - , , Impending Strife. "t want to buy clarionet," said the .man with a steely look in his eye. " : "Ah," said the dealer in musical warts., "here is a perfect instrument, absolutely true in tone." I doat want it. I want one that'll froiace . nothing" . but blue notes. C3s em next door who is study-

ins; the trombone. I'm going to play the clarionet In self-defense."

' Something That Survived. .. "It is my ambition, said the earnest young man, "to write something that will be handed down to posterity." "Well, answered Farmer Corntossel, "all I have to say is, be careful how you go about it. My grandfather wrote his name to a mortgage on this farm and It looks as if my grandchildren will have to go ahead struggling with it." "Hope," said Uncle Eben, "is a blessIn when you's willin to back it wif a little hardi work 'stld o' lettin' it play itse'f out on a policy ticket." Items Gathered in From Far and Near Keeping Up the Work. (Philadelphia Telegraph) ' The chair in which Teddy sat for seven years yesterday collapsed under the weight of President Taft. It is beginning to look as if William intended to keep right on breaking Presidential precedents. Teddy Will Have to Go After It. (New York Evening Post.) Now, if among the men who got within 111 miles of the South Pole, there had been one who could ride 98 miles in one day, they might have made It, after all. Where He Shows the White Feather. (Denver Republican) Maybe Jack Binns's declaration that he will decline a Carnegie hero medal is prompted by the fear that Uncle Joe Cannon will kiss him when making the award. . Job That Ought to Appeal to Him. (New York World.) Crown Prince George of Servia, after retiring from his present job, might gratify his taste for carnage as a chauffeur for some wealthy young New Yorker. Indications Are He Is Liable to Get It. (Washington Post.) ' Castro's determination to return to Venezuela is a sure indication that he overlooked something when he was czaring it. Which Also Counts Against Him. (Milwaukee Sentinel) One thing you can say for Rockefeller; he does not suppress free and unlimited speech at Chicago University. Enough to Kill It. (Chicago Tribune) If Senator Aldrich is in favor of the Payne tariff bill, as reported, there must be something concealed in it. Just as Good. ; (New York Herald) See that Mr. Harriman is taking mud baths.. : The magnate probably misses Colonel Roosevelt. Bill Is on the Lid Again. (Baltimore Sun) Mr. Taft's dinner list shows that fighting will positively not be allowed in the White House. Also Has It's Horrors. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) Mr. Roosevelt is doing his best to make us regret the wireless. , MOVING RECORDS TO HEW QUARTERS The Prisoners Are Now Busily Engaged. The work of moving the record cases from the old, rooms of the county auditor on the first floor of the court house to the new quarters on the thirdfloor continues. The most of the work is being done by prisoners at the county jail under the supervision of turnkey Harris. Sheriff Meredith spends a part of his time offering advice. Some of the record cases are too large to put in the elevator. They have to be carried up the flights of stairs on the shoulders of the men. The labor is hard and will require several days to complete. POLICE BOARD IS TO MEET TONIGHT No Matters of Importance to Come Up. v The board of police commissioners will meet this evening to transact routine business. The secretary of the board said this morning he knows of nothing of importance that will require the attention of the board. A number of bllle have been turned in within the last few days and will be acted upon by the board. AUXILIARY GIVE GOOD SHOW Priscilla Is for Benefit of the Y. M. C. A. The Ladies Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. will give a home talent production during the month of May at the Gennett theater In order to raise funds for the association. , The play Is known as Priscilla and ta under the directorship of Mr. Taylor of Indianapolis. Several rehearsals have been held already in 1 theu Starr Pfsjko - Company's sales room, Tenth and Uain streets.

HOUSE CLEA1IIIIG BY THE FIREMEH . ..-'.. Blaze Fighters at City Building Wage Vigorous War on Dirt.

BOARD GIVES INCENTIVE PROMISES TO SPEND A LITTLE MONEY IN MAKING SLEEPING QUARTERS OF THE MEN MORE ATTRACTIVE Swish-swish, goes the paint brush, wielded by Charles Sinex, across the ceiling of the bed chamber of the firemen at the city hall. House cleaning time has arrived and when not chasing about the city to watch soot burn out of chimneys, the fire laddies now are engaged busily in puttingr their sleep ing quarters into better shape. It has been a long time since repairs and improvements were made. The incent ive was given Wednesday, when the board of public works voted to put new linoleum on the floor. It was needed so badly and had been passed for so long the members of the department had almost abandoned hope. But, as sured that they will get it, they have decided upon additional improvements They are very generous those fellows at the city hall, and so have taken up on themselves the extra work. Walls Are Cleaned. Walls and ceiling'are being cleaned and repainted. The woodwork is be ing polished and by the time the floor is ready for the linoleum, the bed room will look so nice and comfortable, there is likely to be applications by other roomers for a place on the white iron beds. Downstairs the department headquarters need improvements badly. The walls are soiled and grimed by the smoke of years. The paint is covered with dirt and in many places is altogether missUig. A large number of improvements have been made in the way of rearranging the interior and as a consequence the ceiling looks like a crazy quilt, it is broken up by so many patches. Unpainted blocks of wood, to which are attached the pulleys suspending the harness, add to the appearance of desolation. - Chief Miller said today, the boys will do the work if the city provides the material. The members of the department are willing, as the station is home for them, and they do not mind helping its appearance whenever they are given the chance and the materials. A BAD SCALP WOUND Fred Libbert Painfully Hurt During Mock Battle at Factory. AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER -During a mock battle between employes of Gaar Scott and Company yesterday afternoon in which stones and small iron missiles were the wea pons, Fred Libbert, an "innocent by stander" was accidently struck on the head and suffered a painful scalp wound. He worked at the factory un til quitting time, having been relieved by the' application of "first aid to the, injured" treatment. In the even ing, a physician dressed his wound which was a three quarter inch scalp wound on the right side of the skull. It was necessary to take one stitch. The battle between the employes was a friendly although rather rough contest. Mr. IJbbert was unaware of the fight and walked directly on the firing line. Orders have been posted against any such practices in the future. MASONIC CALENDAR. Friday, April 2 King Solomon's 3hapter No. 4, R. A. M. Called meeting; work in Mark Master degree. Saturday, April 3 No. 49, O. E. S., stated meeting. A felon of the name of Hogg once appealed to the witty Sir Nicholas Bacon and besought him to spare him on the score of relationship, "for," said he, "hog is akin to bacon." "But," answered Sir Nicholas, "hog Is not bacon until it is hung. Until you are bung you are no relation of mine."

Young Folks MUSICAL BOTTLES. Odd Instrument on Which Tunes May Be Played. Au odd and not unmelodious musical instrument may be constructed of or. dinary glass bottles partly filled with water. The accompanying cut shows the arrangement. It consists simply of two broom handles resting on the back of two chairs, from which the bottles are suspended by means of strings tied to the neck. Of course it takes a good ear for music to "tune" the bottles, which is IXSTBUICEHT COXPLl done by putting more or less water In each. It Is said that all the tones and their octaves, including the sharps and flats, may be thus reproduced. The instrument is played by means of two sticks drumsticks are best with, which the bottles are struck. Two parts of an air may easily be played, and there may be two performers, one playing on each side. A similar arrangement may be made with glass tumblers, as la well known, but this bottle device Is more unique and striking. The notes are soft and melodious and pleasant to listen to. Chicago News. . NAME OF THE MONTH. A Jolly Game That Is Sura to Indues Much Laughter. Line up, every boy and girl of you, on one side of the room, and each take the name of a month in order, from January to December. '; If there are not twelve of you, then take the months' names as far as they will go. and when your leader stands up in front of you and points her finger at a child and says, "Happy New Year. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 7, 8. 9, 10!" the boy or girl must answer, "March, march, march!" (If that is her name) before the "ten" is said. It is like "bird, beast or fish" Isn't it? only different for this reason, you must not laugh. That is where the fun comes in, because you know you will laugh when you try hard not to, just as sure as you lire! Try it and see, and, remember. If you smile or forget to say the name of your month three times you must face the line and point your finger at some other month and make her laugh. About tha Clove Children, how many of you know where the clove comes from? It is the flower bud of an evergreen tree. When the flowers are la full bloom they are a brilliant red. The little ball at the top of the clove is formed of the curled up petals. At first the buds are a pale green; then they become red. As soon as they become this color they are ready for picking and drying. The trees from which cloves are obtained are natives of the Moluccas, or Spice islanda. The trade in cloves once formed the basis of great fortunes in more than one nation. About the close of the eighteenth century the clove tr was transplanted in other countries than the Spice islands, and now a great part of the commerce in cloves to carried oa In ZanzibarrTne word

A striking Illustration of the adaptation of plants to their surroundings is shown in the sundew. This plant flourishes in boggy places; but, being fleshy In nature, it needs nitrogen, sulphur and other means of sustenance that the boggy soil cannot supply, for these substances have been dissolved out of it. Here nature steps In and gives the needed elements to the plant by feeding it with insects whose bodies contain those elements. It has glands that secrete a viscid fluid that glitters like dewdrops, and this fluid attracts and holds the insects. After an Insect is caught the glands curve inward, thus preventing it from escaping, and the leaf digests it To Bring Back a Card.
