An eminent, physician recently mace
the statement that the mosquito car
ries tuberculosis. However that may
be, it is certain that the pest is dis
tributing agency for all sorts OF fevers.
For this reason the recent meeting of
the National Mosquito determination
society and its recommendation for uni
form state legislation in Kidding the
country Of the annoying and disease
breeding insect are of more than pass
ing interest.
Henry Clay Weeks, the secretary OF
the society, in declaring that certain
fevers had been eliminated from troplc
countriet, stated ut the conference of
the state and provincial board of health
representatives: Those who state that
there is my other means of contract
ing yellow fever and malaria than by
the bite of inoculated mosquitoes must
prove tl~r-case. The reverse has been
shown"
Two methods are recommended for
destroying the pest. One is the sprln-
king of crude petroleum on the surface
of all ponds and swamps. The mosqui-
to breeds in stagnant water, and the oil
Is fatal to the propagation of the in
sect. But the more effectual means
| lies in drainage. 1t is this method that
| the society recommends to all the state
! legislatures. If uniform legislation
/ could be adopted relating TO the drain
age of all stagnant pools, ponds and
swamps, it is confidently predicted that
in few years the mosquito pest would
disappear. No one can foretell the boon
this would prove to public health. TO
say nothing of the increased comfort to
individuals and the added beauty of
the landscape that these cesspools now
disfigure.
This subject should be agitated by
every newspaper and in every commu'
nifty in the land With an aroused pub
lie sentiment, action by the lawmaking
bodies is certain to follow.
Why should there not be an organic
ed, thorough and intelligent movement
for health? What more worthy cause
could enlist the activities of phllan
thropists and of all those who desire
the progress and well being Of human

PITY the Poor Millionaire,

After ALL things are pretty well even
ed up in this world. Take the case of
the poor millionaire, who is afflicted
with 'the poverty Of riches" Most
folks envy him because he has the best
of it in life, but how about it after
death? This in nowise refers to the
proverbial roast that awaits the wick
ed, but concerns itself alone with this
side of the veil.
However much the ordinary man is
abused during life, he receives only
kind words in death. Those who heav-
ed brickbats at him while he was on
earth throw him only bouquets, both
floral and otherwise, when he shuffies
off.
But with the millionaire it is not SO,
for he must leave will, and there,
where his troubles should end, they be-
gin. His sanity is attacked. All kinds
of wives and other unheard of relatives
bob up serenely. Every mean thing he
ever did is brought to light. He is
charged with having had peevishness,
fits of mental alteration and softening
of the brain: All kinds Of experts are
brought forward to show that he was
Intellectually irresponsible and didn't
know enough to make will anyway
His reputation is torn to tatters, along
with the will
All of which leads man to conclude
that the law of compensation operates

EFT came from being three and twenty
II and serious before their time, this
u renouncing Of wOmankind. Their
theory was that speech with wom-
snkind led TO idleness and invited dis
traction. So they withdrew from con-
ventional society, set up their incon-
siderable belongings in two studio
rooms far up from the sidewalk and
organized the Society of Resolute Her
mits.
There. with new lighted ambitions
and gas range, they began their as
sault on flames frOwn!ng walls, one
with verse, one with pictures and the
third with fiction of all lengths. No
written bond did they sign, but the
word of honor was passed that for
year and day each should hold no
converse with the disturbing sex. And
they meant to do just the thing upon
which they had agreed.
Luncheon in the retreat of the Reso-
lutte Hermits was hardly an event. 1t
was mere incident. 1t meant that
pipes, newspapers, sheets of manu-
script and tobacco jars were pushed
from one.half of the utility table which
stood somewhat unsteadily in the mid
die of the studio floor; that the smell
of crisping bacon, frying eggs and boil
ing coffee was coming from the closet
kitchen in the corner, and that Sir Ar
thur. coatless and red of face, was
e,tn
Eggs and bacon, bacon and eggs"
complained Mac as he hacked irregular
chunks from an eight cent loaf Art,
why in thunder don't you learn to cook
eggs some other wayT
want another Spanish omelet?"
Don't. I'm no ostrich. But I'm glad
we are to have something besides fried
eggs after today. Kid, that uncle of
yours is a life saver"
81 used to think he was an old
crank" said the Kid, but l know
better now"
And, indeed, from the viewpoint OF
the Resolute Hermits, it was a noble
thing which the Kids uncle had done
Learning the cause and purpose OF
their retreat, how for year and day
they had agreed to forego all friend
ship and Idle speech with womankind

able you may cash it. But If one o
you breaks faith tear it up"
And there, pinned to the wall as al
inspiration, was the check-a check TO
$50. Tomorrow it would come dow

A Delighted Sleigh Ride

County Commissioner Albert Phillip
had occasion to make trip to the
Western slope on business last week
and while away enjoyed an eighty mile
sleigh ride through Siddle Park,
where the snow is from four to six
feet deep on level. Most OF the jour
ney was made in buggy, but on
reaching the higher attitudes where
the snow was deep the wheels were
taken Oh and runners substituted,
which added to the ease and comfort
of travelling. Mr.. Philip says It ~as

Y. M. c. A. Notes

The regular meeting of the Board of
Directors will be held next Tuesday
evening in connection with the annual
meeting of the Association. At the an
nual meeting there will be reports Of
the work OF the year that has just
closed. All the members Of the Asso-
citation and others interested in the
work are invited to be present
At tine annual election Of the Asso-
citation held on Monday evening OF this
week ,Messrs. w. II. Mcclure, A. +.
Terrill, @. j. Fredrickson, and DR.. w.
F. Brooks were elected to serve as di-
rectors of the Association for term
was elected to succeed himself as
trustee OF the Association.
Rev. w. A. Henderson will address
the mems meeting next Sunday after
noon.
The meeting last Sunday was ad-
dressed by Rev. S. r. McLaughton on
the subject" Triumphs of Christianity.
The address was a strong one and deep
ly convincing. 1t seemed the proper
thing to look back at the progress
which the cause OF Christ has made in
the past as we are just entering upon n
new year. George Hadden and George
Pedley sang a very pleasing duet.
The games of basket ball on Tuesday
evening were very interesting. The
first game between New York and Chi
cago resulted in victory for Chicago,
with score OF ii to 4. The second
game was very much more hotly con-
tested and at the end Of the first half
the score was to I in favor OF Michi-
gan. The final score was 1S to l2 in
favor OF Michigan. This is the first
game Of the series which Michigan has
won and the Yale team comforted
themselves with this thought.
The New Years reception and the
Star Course entertainment were both
huge successes and were enjoyed by a
large number Of people. The next en-
tertainment on the Course will be the
concert on the evening of Feb. 4th by
the Columbian Male Quartette, as
sisted by Miss Fisher Shipp, reader
This promises to be n fine entertain
ment. Course tickets for the remain
ing three numbers will be for sale at
*1.oo, while single admissions will be
so cents.
The most important thing in the his
tory Of the Association was the closing
of the year 1908 free from debt. No
outstanding Indebtedness is a very
good showing.
