ENTITLED TO A REST.
The army engineers who have made
such a splendid success of the work
of constructing (the Panama canal
are now in big demand. Congress and
the president are being asked to as
sign them to the construction of the
Alaska railway, to the work of im
proving rivers and harbors and tor
various public improvement projects,
his is ail complimentary to the en
gineers, but would it not be well to
give them a rest?
The Panama canal job for the army
engineers has lasted over seven
years. They never have seen a ther
mometer marked below 80 degrees.
Presumably their systems have
adapted themselves to conditions of
combined wet and heat, or otherwise
the last taps would have sounded for
these tropic workers before this. If
1hey rae ordered to Alaska, they will
go and will say never a word of pro
lest, but ought they to be asked to
go?
There are several hundred officers
of the engineers corps who never
have seen Panama. Certainly from
the ranks of these there /can be
drawn men able to build the Alaska
railroad. The isthmian engineers
have earned a right to serve or a
-while in an entirely hospitable cli
mate. Let some brother officers have ,
a chance to do the big northern job
and to earn the thanks ot the Ameri
can people. Tacoma Tribune.
SAVING THE LITTLE THINGS.
Reducing operating expenses by,
eliminating waste is only a rational
procedure; and yet the cultivation of
that carefulness of habit that leads ;
to an unconscious conservation of,
supplies is all too little engaged in, ■
in the affairs of the individual, while i
evidence on every side points to an ;
indifference in the matter of small j
economics as applied (o others’ ex- j
penaes that is painfully suggestive
of a natural human tendency to care
lessness and extravagance. Teachers
complain of the spirit of prodigality
of youth in school; business finds its
workers almost equally heedless as
to the cost of waste.
The estimate of (he Baltimore &
Ohio railroad that the elimination of
waste in the use of paper, pens, pen
cils and so forth, on the part of heads
of departments, clerks, agents and
other employes in the 2,000 offices of
the system could easily result in a
saving of $30,lt00 in the course of a
year is probably not overestimated.
The average saving per office asked
for is only $15, and yet, in the im
mensity of the business, the sum to
tal would be well worth striving for.
The lesser proportionate saving pos
sible through carefulness (in the
smaller business concerns of any com
munity would be equally worth while,
rendering a percentage of reduced
expense that would correspond to in
creased earning, under the old rule
that a penny saved is a penny earn

American anil Canadian 'sawmills
have discovered that the sawdust
which they regarded as a worthless
incumbrance, is worth at least $40 a
ton. In Baltimore a chemist has
perfected a process of extracting gas
from sawdust, adequate enough to
supply a city like Ottawa, with light
and heat. This is thought to portend
that around the great, sawmills, which
have been emptying their dust into
the Ottawa river, a variety of new in-,

Naval Plan Deadlocked.
TOK10( April 2.—After planning
a year of the most strenuous warship
building in Japan’s history, the gov
ernment found i'self with a hopeless
deadlock on its hands over the naval !
appropriation bill. The bill, as orig
inally introduced, provided for a $95,- !
000,000 allowance. The lower house 1
of parliament cut this to $80,000,000.,
The upper house reduced it to $45,- j
000,000. Then the bill went to con- :
ferencd. Todi^y it was announced
that the conferees could not agree, j
Consequently, instead of $95,000,000,
the government gets nothing.
Osteopathy’s Basic Principle.
Health is not a mystery. it is,
the sum of all the organs of life op
erating naturally. Disease is not a
mystery. It is the result of one or j
more organs acting improperly. The
cure for disease, then, is plain: Set j
the tissues a-right; make the indi
vidual cells act a-right; then the or- j
guns will act a-right.
To operate naturally ail parts of;
the machine must be correctly plac- i
ed and well adjusted with regard to I
the rest of the organism. Get a j
clear-cut conception of this truism'
which is the basic principle of os -1
teopathic philosophy, the key to in-j
terpret osteopathic practice. It is so ]
simple it is usually overlooked and
forgotten.
Andrew Taylor Still, M. I)., a phy
sician and surgeon of the old school, •
the founder of osteopathy, puts ii.
somewhat after this fashion:
“If every structure in the body is
in its normal place and condition
that is to say, properly adjusted with ,
regard to all related structures—-the
body may be counted upon to oper-j
ate properly, because it is. first of
all, a mechanical contrivance, a ma
chine: and any machine that is per
fectly made, complete in all its parts
and exquisitely adjusted as is the
human body - will run accurately just
as long as it remains in correct me
chanical form and adjustment.
"If the human machine fails lo run
properly the first presumption should
be—just as in the case of any ma
chine—that some structure, some part
of the anatomy, has gotten out of its
proper relation to other structures.
Some fault has developed in the form,
or position, or adjustment of some
part of the organism."
This viewpoint of disease is new .
and revolutionary, yet simple, under
standable and eminently practical. ;
Man is a machine. Like all machines, |
the law’s governing the body and its
operations at basis are mechanical. !
Whatever mechanical cause might I
throw the parts of any machine into j
ill-repair—such as a jolt or strain, ;
for example—may throw the human
anatomy into improper adjustment,j
may put it in bad working order, thus !
producing a derangement of health. !
The right cure, obviously, is adjust- j
ment. Osteopathy is adjustment, adv

Famous Old Church Burned. j
DUSSELDORF, Germany, April 2.— !
The famous thirteenth century church i
of St. Quirinus, at Neuss, four miles !
from here, burst into flames at six '
o'clock this morning, and the greater
part of the edifice was soon destroy- :
ed. The tower, the celebrated chimes, .
and the organ had been consumed
at noon, and the flames were still
making headway, in spite of the ef
forts of firemen from this city and
from Cologne. St. Quirinus was be
gun in the year 1209, but the tower j
which collapsed today was recon ]
structed in 1741.
