IMPROVE GENERAL HEALTH

Louisville's sanitation is looked af-
ter by the police officers. They make
regular reports on the condition of
premises, and the health department
sees that the law is complied with,
or secures warrants.
Loulsville's health officer, DR.. NJ.
X. Allen seems to be an ingenious
and energetic man. He keeps the
people we'll informed as to conditions
and the best way to maintain good
sanitation. He says there is no &C.
casion for long sick list II people
will observe the common rules OF
health and cleanliness.
His latest proclamation" to the
people of Louisville tells what pre-
cautions to take to reduce the sick
list to a minimum, and there is no
reason the people here and elsewhere
should not be guided by 1t.
He advises three precautions. One
is killing or keeping out mosquitoes
and flies, another to effectually dis
pose of garbage, and another to
whitewash the premises.
Diseases are transmitted. he says.
In the Herald, chiefly through the
medium of domestic animals and in
sects, of which the mosquito is the
most pernicious. The mosquito is the
special messenger of typhoid fever,
but II also carries several other dis
eases from place to place. and to kill
on the mosquito means to eliminate
a chief cause OF illness. This can be
done easily by removing cans, jugs
and other receptacles for holding
water from the premises. Mosquitoes
are bred In such places. and to emp
ty them OF water prevents them from
being born or kills them of. Ponds
In outlying districts are also breed
ing places for mosquitoes. DR.. Allen
has asked the board OF public works
TO cover all ponds with petroleum
again this year, which will kill the
eggs. The ponds will first be covered
about the latter part of June and
month later another covering OF oil
will be spread upon them.
DIR, Allen also recommends the use
of wire screens to keep out flies and
mosquitoes. Flies carry disease from
place to place, visiting foul and de-
composing bodies, and carry germs
OF disease TO dining rooms and 9TH
er parts OF the house.
The dangerous cause OF spreading
disease is indirectly through dump
piles in the outlying districts. In
house infected with typhoid fever.
Tor Instance, the garbage is sent TO
an ash barrel and cartd away TO a
dump pile. The rotting food stuffs

The Greensboro Messenger objects

supreme court holding that certain
kinds OF rebates are legal. In a case
where a corporation offered a mer-

discount. II 1t were illegal no con-
Germ would have a right to discount

more impossible than to equalize

The visit of a committee fromPadu-
cab to st. Louis to inspect streets,
seems to have been a good move.
The gentlemen left Paducah fully
convinced that one kind of material
was best for streets, and returned
with an entirely different idea,
showing conclusively the advantage
of personally investigating such mat
tiers where a fair test has been made,
instead of trying to reach a conclu
sion by experimenting. The gentle
men who made the trip are property
owners who are to pay half the cost
OF improved streets in front of their
property, and the fact that they ia
vor any certain material for streets.
and want 1t in front of their proper
ty and have to pay for 1t. shows that
their decision was made only after a
most thorough investigation.

anything along the line of jury re-

Sisters of Charity are known. Not only do

Story Of TerrapIn.s Memory.


That Br'er Tarrypin has memory is
proved by story told by Young D..
Hance, WHO owns the birthplace Of
Chief Justice fancy, on Battle creek,
in Calvert county.
Mr.. Hance keeps a small boat under
mulberry tree on the shore OF the
creek, and on going to the boat early
one morning he noticed dry land
terrapin busily engaged in eating q
few mulberries which had fallen. Mr..
Hance, wishing to assist Br'er larry
pin In getting his breakfast, gathered
some mulberries and pitched them to
him one ct time. In q very short
lime the terrapin began to catch the
berries in his mouth exactly as they
we're thrown to him. Every day after
ward a slight knock on the side OF the
coat would bring the terrapin out for
ais mulberries> and Mr.. Hance often
look his friends and visitors to see his
pet.
On one occasion fresh young man
threw piece Of tobacco to the terra
pin instead Of mulberry Br'er Tar
rypin retired at once in disgust, and
for days aftcrward refused to come

Gnally induced him to come again for
his mulberries, Brer Tarrypin remem-
bered the tobacco and would never ap-

Certain Habits Internationally Formed and

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power ncccs
xary to break a lifelong habit would,
il it could be transformed, lift weight
Of many tons.
1t sometimes requires higher degree
Of heroism to break the chains of per-
nicious habit than to lead for1orn
hope in bloody battle. A lady writes
from an Indiana town:

that was causing the trouble and yet

for the shah discovered it, and then
proceeded to get even.
The tooth began to give trouble.
The dentist was sent for. On his ar

look at the tooth. He was about to
bow himself out when the shah
stopped him and asked to see his case
Of instruments. He examined each
one with interested curiosity, and
then began asking what certain ones
we're used for.
This seemed to interest him still
more; he would like illustrations.
Could not the dentist show just what

of the suite standing about would

horse had strengthening jaw. Would
he not allow the dentist to begin
