There are still tons of mud and dirt on our streets that ought to be scraped together and carted away. It is the accumulation of last fall and winter and soon under the warm sun will be converted into dust and blown Into the houses and breathed into the lungs of the people. As a sanitary measure clean streets are. an absolute necessity. "With streets covered four to six inches deep with dust eyery little breeze sets clouds ladened with disease-breeding germs afloat which penetrate the open doors and win dows of our homes to the annoyance of the tidy housewife as well as to the detriment to the health of the com munity. Newspapers. The" following is an extract from an address delivered in New York on Wednesday evening, by Dr. St. Clair McKelway, the brilliant editor of tho Brooklyn Eagle, and is worthy of re production here, especially at this time : "Advertisers and newspaper men together make the character of a pub lic journal. The editorial page, all contradiction to the contrary not withstanding, is the most important page of the newspaper. The news pages, by their fairness, their clean ness, their intelligence and their en terprise, largely make evident the ability and the resources of the sheet. But the editorial page reflects not only the ability, but the oharacter of the journal ; its virtue as well as its vigor ; its conscience as well as its capacity ; Its courage as well as its conscience. "The editorial page indicates the quality of the constituency of a news paper. I know that it could not get along without the news pages, but I also know that the news pages would get along in limping and halting fashion without the editorial page. Recall newspapers with poor editorial pages or with none, but with bright news pages. They may have vogue, but they do not have influence. They may have circulation, but they do not have power. They may be able to say things and to spread things, but they cannot do things and cannot get things done. And the exact measure of their impotency is sug gested by the blare of their claims of efficiency and of accomplishment. Happily these newspapers of blare are just few enough to be as distinctive as repulsive, and desirably to differ entiate themselves from the general journalism that, at home and abroad, was never more respeotable and more honored than it Is to-day. "I give a short duration to the journalism of dirt, defamation, de magogy and boasting. That journal ism, in all its few examples, is becom ing the victim of a throat-cutting competition and of a reciprocal evis ceration; and the other journalism, holding its stoutly course, was never more prosperous and never more de servedly so than now. I expect that it will still further improve. I con cede that the great advertisers have greatly improyed It. Their an nouncements liayo the charm of narrative. They have the sequence of argument. They have the attrac tion of fancy. They have the Incen tive and the decoration of metaphor, of literary allusion, at times of poetry Itself."

Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine are signs of clogged kidneys, causing poisoned and germ-filled blood. Sometimes the heart acts badly, and tube casts (wasting of the kidneys) are found in the urine, which if neglected will result in Bright's Disease, the mos,t dangerous form of kidney trouble.

Washington, April 14. Dr. W. D. BIgelow, chemist of tho agricultural department, told tho Wado court of In quiry yesterday that the canned beef wns a wholesome nnd nutritious pro duct oven more nutritious than fresh beef, becauso of tho propondorenco of protclds. Ho also gavo tho details of his general Investigation Into tho can nod beef supply, showing tho meat to ho a gonorally satisfactory ration. Ho considered tho boef oxtract a stimulant rather than a nutritive. The meat loft nftcr its extraction, ho said, would bo nutritive, as tho protelds would bo loft. Whether, howevor, It would bo palat nblo would bo a matter for each In dividual to decido for himsolf. Prob ably It would not bo an Ideal food. Canned roast ocef was preferable to bacon as a food for tho Boldlcrs. Professor Mallet, professor of chem istry at tho University of Virginia, presented a contrary view. Ho ex pressed tho opinion that a chemical analysis was not a sufficient test of tho character of a food product, say ing that various conditions necessarily must bo considered. A combination ol horso flesh, tallow and carpenter's glue might glvo practically the same re sults as thoso reported from the ex amination of tho canned roast hoof. In determining tho food valuo of n ration It was necessary to consider Its digestibility, capacity for absorp tion, Its adaptability to chemical changes and also, secondarily, Its pal atablllty. It was also necessary to know tho possibility of the injurious offects of any food article upon tho body. Considering all theso questions Mr. Mallot did not believe tho canned beef supplied to tho army In tho Span ish war a proper artlclo of food. Ho related that tho experiment had been mado of feeding to hogs tho residue of beef after tho extract had been m.'do from it, which had resulted In the practical starvation of tho nogs. THE LAKE CITY LYNCHING. Witnesses Identify Sovortil of tlio A) on on Trlnl. Charleston, S. C, April 14. A num ber of witnesses testified for the gov ernment In the Lake City lynching case yesterday. M. B. Springs returned to the stand for cross examination. He had sworn that Stokes told him of tho plan to kill Baker and asked him to Join tho mob. It was shown he had been a member of the coroner's Jury which brought In a verdict that Baker came to his death at tho hands of un known parties. Ho said he was afraid to tell the Jury what ho know about tho case. George Jeffords testified that Joyner, ono of tho defendants, told him there were only nine mon at the lynching, and that McKnlght, another defendant, killed Baker. Henderson Williams, a negro, swore he went towards the postofflce whllo It was burning. He mot seven men com ing away from It. Thoy had guns, and he recognized Epps, a defendant, among them. Another negro said he was with Williams and recognized Webster, Ward and Alonzo Rodgers, all defend ants, in tho party of lynchers. These two witnesses sworo before tho coro ner thoy know nothing about the crime. They said yesterday they were afraid to tell tho truth at Lake City. Tho defense has seventy odd wit nesses thoy will put on the stand. The theory of the defense Is that Baker was killed by men from tho country near Lake City. Alibis will be set up for each defendant.
