Roosevelt's Epigrams.

1t is almost as irritating to be
patronized as to be wroneed.
Ihe country districts are those
in.which we are surest to find the
old American spirit.
A man to be a good citizen
must first be good bread winner.
good husband, a good father.
The forces which made these
farm bred boys leaders of men
are still at work in our country
districts.
In the long run the only KIM of
help that really avaiIs is the helm
which teaches man to help him
self.
Almost all of our great Presi
dents have been brought up In
the country, and most of them
worked hard on the farms.
Hardness of heartis dread
1ul quality, but it is doubtful
whether in the long run it works
more damage than softpess of
head.
Material prosperity without
the moral lift toward righteous
ness means a diminished capacity
for happiness and debased char
acter.
we live in an era when the
pest results can only be achieved.
II to individual self-help we add
the mental self-help which comes
by combination.
The man on the farm, more than
any other of our citizens, TO- -dav
is called upon continually to ex.
erclse the qualities we like 70
think of as typical of the United
States.
The true line of cleavage lies
between the good citizen and the
bad citizen, and the line of cleav-
age may, and often does, run at
right angles to that which divides
the rich and the poor.

Typhoid Fever Prevention.
Rules Laid Down bv the State
Board of Health for Eradi-
eating the Disease.

July. 1t is therefore widely pre-.
valent in our State. 1t is com
municable disease, spreading from
one case to another, though gen
erall y In roundabout fashion.
Its extension can be prevented by
the careful observance of certain
rules. For the Information OF
the people we give these rules,
preceded by q statement of the
reasons upon which they are bas
ed. If read and needed by even
few some lives would be saved
and much sickness would be pre-
vented.
The active agency in the causa-
ton of typhoid fever is bacte>
rum, the bacillus typhosus,
which attacks aud causes the ul>
ceratisn of certain glands in the
small intestine, developing there
In by myriads. They are there
fore to be found chiefly in the
bowel discharges, although pre-
sent also in the excretion of the
kidneys and to some extent in the
expectoration of a person sick
with the disease. From one of
these sources, nearly always the
first named, the bacteria are trans
ferred to the intestinal tract of a
healthy person. The poison is
always swallowed. The most
common agencies of transfer are
the drinking water, including
milk infected from washing cans
in polluted water, and the com,
mon house fly, although it may be
conveyed directly to the nurse by
her own soiled hands, and some
times IN dust. The most impor-
tant rules therefore for the pre-
vention of the extension of the
disease may be briefly stated as
follows:
1. Cover Immediately upon
their passage the body discharges
to prevent access of flies.
2. AS soon as possible thor
oughly dislnfect the discharges by
mixing in equal quantity with
them one of the following: (al
freshly made milk of lime or
"whitewash" (unslaked lime): (b)
a five per cent. solution of carbo-
lie acid; (c) a to 1000 solution
OF corrosive sublimate; (d) 1 per
cont. solution of formaldehyde.
After standing half hour Cover
ed all the time) the mixture should
be buried (never thrown on the
surface Of the ground) at a dis.
tance from the we'll Of not less
than $50 feet.
3. Provide in the sick room
wooden tub one>third full of eth.
or OF tho three last named solu-
sions, and drop therein as soon as
removed everything in the way of
body or bed-clothing, handker-
chiefs, towels, etc., that have
come in contact with the patient.
and keep them submerged until
they can be boiled, washed and
dried in the sun.
4. All remnants of food that
may for any reason be carried
into the sick-room must be burned
.. The nurse should wash her
hands and dip them into one of
he solutions preferably corrosive
'uhlimate, after every "changing''
II the patient. She should never
iraw water from the family we'll
'nless pump is used. In case
t should be absolutely necessary
he should disinfect her hands as
'bove before doing 50.
8. The soiled linen of the pa
lent should never be wa.bed a.

A Lecture for the People.

The lecture course having been given
up and Edgerton being without the
prospect of literary treat for the re-
mainder of the season, the ladies of the
Women's clubs of the city, feeling that
Edgerton ought to afford at least some
advantage in that line, have shouldered
the responsibility of securing the lect-
urer, Chas. w. Seymore, to give one of
his popular lectures in Royal Hall Fri
day evening, Jan. "a.
Mr. Seymour is widely known as one
of the best historical lecturers on the
American platform today. One Of his
critics says: "He takes hero out of MIS-
tory and by few words of matchless
narrative and description makes him
live You live in an hour a lifetime with
that hero, watching contemporary events
fall into place about him and you remem-
Der the story as told by Mr.. Seymore as
if it were an event of personal interest. "
The object in securing lecturer is not
to make money, but to give the people
an intellectual treat. In the interests of
Edgerton, the ladies urge you to sup
port this effort. Should there be any
proceeds left after paying expenses, they
will be given to the library. Tickets,
25c. Reserved seats on sale at Ash's'

Wants a Nuisance Abolished.


A public nuisance that ought to be
abolished at once is the filthy condition
of the walks of sections Of the principal
business streets of our city-a condition
rapidly growing worse. It is beyond the
writer's comprehension why the Tobacco
Exchange Bank, situated on the most
prominent business corner in the city,
will permit lot of loafers to congregate
every day and evening, their sole aim ap-
parently being the defilement of the walk
with tobacco juice and making defaming
remarks about women who have to pass
this corner in going to and from places
of shopping.
If there is city ordinance against such
conditions, it should be rigidly enforced.
Ii we have no protection against this
condition, unhealthy both physically and
morally, it is very essential thing for
our city council to enact legislation at
once.
Let US rid ourselves of this nuisance
without delay. It is disgrace to allow
it to continue. CITIZEN.
