Some medical authorities advocate an open-air life for sufferers from asthma. This would be of benefit in some dry climates, cli-mates, but might prove fatal in other places, where the air powerfully aggra-vates aggra-vates this disease. Asthma is indeed - a nervous disorder and too little understowl. I have learned by close observation that asthmatics do not suffer so much by reason of inability to inhale as by lack of power to exhale. - In an acuta attack of asthma the patient shows every indication of dying dy-ing froin lack ofbreath, but it is not lie-cause lie-cause the air will not enter the' lungs; it U liecause lie cannot cicl the dead air to make room for a fresh supply. sup-ply. Once empty the lungs ami the air will rush in almost without effort on the part of the pateint, as he could not keep it out if he would. To put this theory to th test, put one hand on the buck of the patient between the tdjotiMeY blades and the other hand on his chest and as he exhales aid him by a strong pre.-sure on both hand, quickly releasing releas-ing when he begins to inhale. Keep up this rhythmic motion for two or three moments, taking care ttf press in unison with tho patient's breathing. You will soon find yourself your-self thoroughly tired out with the effort, but will have taken just that much labor from the patient and in a few minutes he will be breathing naturally and will fall a,leep in a half-m lining posture. The asthmatic suffers from lack of nervous strength to expel the dead air from the lung. His blood is poiVtrntl and his whole system cries oat for more oxygen. Squeeze the dad air out as you would from a follows and the life-giving frcth air will rush in and restore health and strength. How Care for Infants to By ML lEUS AXDUVS Charlea- Seymour Whitman, who. has been - elected district attorney of New York to succeed William T.

As elty magistrate and member of the court (or general sessions, Whitman has had a splendid career. In that office he Bat for eight years to the .eminent, satisfaction oi everybody who cared. to look lnto his conduct and to speculate on- bis future, for Judge Whitman is essentially a man of the f liture, and few who know him hesitate in -aying-that,-he- will tak& full advantage jf-Jthe developments that have made him virtually the head of the pIitieftHife-eMhisity 7 Whitman will enter, into office with the eyes of two kinds of people turned In his direction--the people who would like to see vice and crime promptly and efficiently smashed, and the people who are afraid that that very thing is going to happen. It appears that to goth kinds Whitman feels that he is per sonally responsible, and he will give a good account of himself to both It must not be understood that Whitman is a reformer. He Is not He does te to say openly that he is not. He is not Koine to try to have new made, but it, is not believed that he will be content unless the present laws are enforced. It looks to some people in this city that Whitman will revive, the manners that were in vogue wjien Theodore Roosevelt announced that he would close up the town and then proceeded to close it - Whitman, however, does not regularly tell the public what he is about to do. This was the case when he raided the saloons for being open after hours. He Just raided them, and the law took its course.' It easily may be imagined that a considerable number of people, law-abiding and otherwise, are awaiting with their eyes cocked for the business that will be done in the office of the district .attorneypwheir Whitman-taker hold. Tfcfs embodiment of anew disturbing force In the life Of New York-is 41 years old, square-jawed, rugged,. brimming over-wttfe-vigor-and health, and muscularly strong enough to take care of himself in any kind of a crowd. Judge Whitman waa born at Norwich, Conn., and came to New York 19 years ago, a lad of 22. Starting out in life with a pretty good education, ho worked at many trades before he found the level at which he probably will rest for the remainder of his life. He taught school, he studied law, he tried practicing as an attorney, and he did pretty well at all of them. In one way or another he came into contact with Seth Low, at,this par ticular time mayor, of New York. Mr. Low was always a lover of Whitman's style of man and he waa, not long in seeing that his new acquaintance was not only a strong character, but a shrewd, deep seeing and quick man of action.

Harriman as the ruler of the railroads of the United States. Within the last few days there has been a change of alignment of the greatest financial powers In Wall street and they bavo proffered to Hawley the backing of their millions. which were the essence of the Harriman power, and which, likewise, makes Hawley the dominant figure in the American railroad world. .This shift of the balance of money power to the support of Hawley marks the most important of several changes in the railroad situation that hate been brought about by the passing of Harriman. Another change of scarcely less interest during dur-ing the last few days has been the appearance of a well defined plan to eliminate Harriman Influ ence from the management of railroads outside his own system, into which Harriman forced himself during his lifetime. Iiriefly, the occurrences of the last fet days min"lbat Edwin Hawley, by virtue of the backing conferred upon him by the-greatest money dynasty in America, becomes the new railroad leader; that with the millions to which be is thus given access he can acquire, build up and dominate a vast railroad system throughout the country that probably will overshadow even the Har rlman system; that iUriiman's personal power, which enabled him to compel admission to the councils of other railroad' ystejniT, (Med. with him and la no longer the formidable weapon It was aa long as he lived.
