A PRESCRIPTION IS WANTED
By a Country Doctor.


The Fairfield (Maine) Journal says.
One of our physicians received the follow
ing letter from a country physician:
Dear Dock: 1 have a pashunt whose.
physicol sines show that the windpipe
has liberated off, and his lungs have
dropt into his stumiek, he is enable to
swa1ler and 1 fear his stumick tube is
gone. I have give him everything with
out effeckt, and can't afford to loos him,
for his father is welthy. What shall 1
due. Ans. by return of male Yours in
need.
In this case it seems to be the doctor
who needs prescription quite as much as
his patient "a course at public school.
but I suppose the walls of his Office ex-
hib.t a diploma, and a license to 'prac-
tice," which he was evidently doing
without apparent success. Whenever peo-
pie employ the Oxydonor in the cure of
disease such distressing, conditions have
never resulted. But I suppose neither
the doctor nor his patent would use the
| Oxydonor even if advised to do so.
Prejudice often robs us of many good
| things. C S. Wilson.

PRICES MAY GO HIGHER
QUOTATIONS FOR ANTHRACITE
MAY TAKE ANOTHER JUMP.

Every day the strike trouble In the
East remains unadjusted adds to the
eventual price of coal this winter. To-
morrow morning even the companies that
have been filing small orders to date ex-
pect instructions to shut off altogether.
While 1t will probably remain possible in
any event for ord customers to buy
few tons toward their regular supply
country dealers and other middlemen will
feel the effects of the embargo even more
severely than in the past week
Hard wood of all varieties has not been
slow to follow the lead of anthracite coal
and the prices are steadily advancing,
although a little slower than might be
expected from the governing conditions
Hard maple yesterday in cord lots
sawed and split was wortf $780, and
other woods at equal advances. The
wood dealers who took orders for future
delivery when there was scarcely any
margin are in the same position as the
coal dealers who did likewise and will
not be in position to make anything out
of the big prices.
Monday morning is confidently expect
ed to bring a change either for the bet
Ter or the worse as the strike appeared
to be rapidly approaching crisis.

WOMEN OF CIVIC LEAGUE
EIGHTH WARD BRANCH HELD A
BREEZY MEETING YESTERDAY.

The Eighth ward branch of the w.
mans Civic league met yesterday after
nooa with Mrs. David Ramaley On Sher-
burO, avenue. This meeting closes the
summer series of meetings that have
been held every two weeks during the
season at the home of the members. Mrs
David Ramaley, chairman of the Eighth
ward branch, presided. About eighteen
women were present. Mrs. Sacnse, sec
rotary, presented a report of the sum-
mers work of the ward. Several thou
sand copies of the new charter had been
distributed in the ward. During the sea-
son the branch has been addressed by
Jos. A. Wheelock, president of the park
board; by Mr.. Estabrook, who spoke on
the subject of identifying the approach
to Como and Dr. Matthias Bantz, who
spoke on the same subject. Other speak
ers were: w. r. Johnson, Mrs Condo
Ham'fn and Mrs. Charles Dibble.
Reference was made in the report to
the resolution introduced in the council
directing the street railway company to
comply with its contract to curb and
boulevard in the center University ave-
nue. from Victoria street to the city limits
The report stated that the members CT
the branch were surprised at the defeat
of the resolution by a vote of 5 to g. but
congratulated the members on their sue
cess in arousing interest in the beautify-
ing of the approach to Como Park.

IRISH Independent.
Barring the microscopic forms of life,
the fly is the most prolific of all the lower
Insects During the summer at least
twelve generations of flies are produced,
and each female lays an average of 12O
eggs at sitting. Nor does she die, like
many insects, as result of her labors.
She recuperates, and after a short time
repeats the office for which she seems
principally to have been created. Now,
If you will multiply this single fly by 80,
the number of her eggs, and these again
by $780, and so on until the twelfth gene
ration you will find that, barring
uch-to-be-praised mortality, the number
of flies resulting from one female will be
something like TAB sextillions To be sure,
many of the flies produced would be
males, but, on the other hand, the num-
Der does not include the adding together
of the twelve genera lions. It simply rep
resents the number Of great-great-great-
etc. grandchildren that may result from
one female The reduction for males is
therefore quite conservative.
The common house fly, according to one
investigator weighs .045 grams, and as
there are 1888 grains to the avoirdupois
pound, the approximate number Of flies to
the pound is 10000 so that, aside from the
interesting little fact that single fly can
produce several million times more flies
than there are people in the world, the
flies she does produce, If allowed to grow
to maturity, would weigh many times
more than the combined weight of every
man, woman, and child on earth Yet it
must be remembered that this Is the posi-
bic result from one single fly, and as each
summer opens we all notice that there
are flies and flies.
Those flies which we see buzzing around
IN the winter time or in the early spring
were all born late In the preceding sum-
mer. They have remained in a semi-slug-
gish state inshouses, barns, outhouses etc.
or they have migrated gradually by the
reproduction of generations from southern
climates. AS the spring turns to summer
they begin to breed The female, when
ready to lay her eggs seeks out a refuse
pile, and deposits them just under the sur
face, where the warmth. even III cold
weather, Is very great. The frost of late
spring never fncommodes the reproduction
process. for the egs break open and count

It is safe to say that large part of the
unsanitary condition of stables and gar
bage dumps is relieved through the agency
of flies.

MUST USE SAFETY VALVES
WATER COMMISSIONER RESOLVE
TO FINE ALL DEIINQUENTS


The board of water commissioners met
yesterday afternoon and disposed of an
immense amount of routine business.
Considerable comment was occasioned
by the reading Of complaint from Allen
Black, a plumber, doing work in this
city. The complaint was particular
one, giving names and locations al
though the point in question has often
been great source of trouble to the
water officials. Black stated that he had
done the plumbing in a house and ALTERS
wards when the steam filters had put in
the hot water apparatus they had ne
elected to put in a check valve and a
safety valve. Later the inspectors re-
fused to turn on the water because OF
the neglect of the incompetent steamfit-
tiers, and Black wished TO complain of
the custom of the water board in allow
ing ANY old thing TO put in hot water
apparatus. The board did not believe 1t
had any other course TO pursue except to
fine the man who allowed the unauthor-
lied work to be put in his house The
fine was paced at So.
1t seems that there is danger from ex-
plosion If the safety valve is omitted
from the coil in a furnace, or even in
kitchen stove connections not fitted, and
it is hoped that the imposition of fines
in the future, when it is omitted, will
soon stop the practice.
The same course will be taken with the
people who persist In leaving out the
check valve as the hot water, if the
force gets little strong, is likely to
burn out the meter, or in some cases the
hot water backs out so far as to annoy
the next neighbors with steaming water
in place of cold.
The representative of the Norwegian
Lutheran church, which is putting up a
big structure in st. Anthony Park, asked
that the main be extened to accommodate
the new buildings with water. AS all the
intervening property is owned by Eastern
men and is unimproved, the only eXpe-
dent seems to be a temporary main. The
matter was referred to a committee for
investiga ton.

Builders Are Getting Ready for

According to advices from Washing
ton bids for the entire interior finish of
the addition to the new federal building
will be called for about Oct Is.
Assistant Architect Plant was in st.
Paul recently, and, while here, made an
examination of the new and old buildings
and reported progress, with recommended
tons to his superior, Supervising Archi-
tect Taylor. The proposals will call for
a separate consideration of the first floor
finish.
The removal of the postntfice to the new
building is desired, and in case the bids
are beyond the present appropriation "a
new appropriation will be asked for at
the next session.
1t is also intimated that the old build
ing will be put in shape shortly for the
housing of the railway mail service,
