CORPORATIONS CAN NOT CONTRI-
Butte.

Even without the declaration of
campaign managers that big political
contributions would be out Of order
this year, the corporations were in
little danger of being bled. For the
last congress passed a law that cor
porations should not contribute to
such purposes. This may have been
joker inserted by an agent of the
corporations, but it got to be law
just the same
This of course falls more heavily
on the Republicans, for the party
is notorious corporation mixer"
The Democrats might not be any bet
ter, but as it happens the squeezer
has been chiefly in the keeping of the
Republicans.
From evidence in recent insurance
cases, some of the corporations con-
tributed to both committees, to be
able to land on the right side of the
fence for sure. For this campaign
it is to be expected the corporations
will let politics alone Certainly it
will be unlawful to use the some
what crude method of buying candi-
dates by contributing to the cam
paign funds.
The Chicago Herald says
on the subject of political contribu-
tons:
Though Congress failed to pass a
law to compel the publication of
campaign contributions it is OBJ
vious that the reform is to be fairly
well established without a law for
the present and that legislation will
come as a matter of course later.
AS to the prohibition of contribu-
tions by corporations, that cannot
be defeated by such arguments as
Mr.. Sheldon's or affected by the de-
clarations of Mr.. Bryan and the De-
mocratic platform For Congress
passed a law in January 1907, which
not only prohibits contributions by
corporations but provides imprison-
ment for offending officers of the
corporations as one of the penalties.
1t also authorizes a civil prosecution
for the diversion of the money of
stockholders, a diversion which, as
we have indicated is wholly indefen-
sible where there is an opposing in
terest of single share.

germs alive in their bodies as they
are dangerous by carrying the germs
in their hairy feet, which are parti-
cularly adapted for picking up germs
and thus conveying them to the food
of healthy persons. They settle upon
the dejecta of patients, crawling over
the patient of the soiled linen, and
thus pick up the germs and become
a potent medium in disseminating es-
pecially the diseases previously mem
toned.
The moral to be learned from this
lesson is that flies are a source OF
great danger to the welfare of healthy
individuals; that they should be
avoided near dwellings.

HOUSE FLY SCATTERS
MANY DANGEROUS DISEASES
fMedical Bulletin,)

Laboratory experiments have cler-
~ demonstrated that the house fly is
capable of disseminating the germs OF
zymotic diarrhoe, typhoid fever, tub
erculosis, Asiatic cholera, etc. A
fly contaminated with the germs of
any of the aboye-named diseases may
carry the infection for a consider
able distance and remain infectious
for comparatively long time. It
has been shown that flies may carry
typhoid bacillus in a living condition
for over two weeks. Experiments
have proven that the typhoid bacillus
may pass through the intestinal tract
of a fly and remain alive; hence the
danger of the fly. spot. The tubercle
bacillus is another germ that has
been found alive in the intestinal
tract of the house fly. The flies be-
come infected by eating the sputum of
tubercular patients.
Flies are not as dangerous to dis

There's my moon," she would say,
as it rose from behind the eastern
hills. Look, Dahlia, see how beauti-

who was ever at hand with shawl or
fan for her beloved mistress, would
answer, enthusiastically Your moon
certainly do look pow'ful handsome
tonight"
When Nine. Fairfax journeyed to
the city to visit her son, Dahlia, look
ing out of the window with wondering
eyes on the first evening of her life
away from home, exclaimed, in voice

TRAINING of ROYAL Children.

Most of the royal children of Eu-
rope are brought up much more simply
than American children of the
Weather classes because they have
none of the party engagements and
school affiliations that take up so
much of the time of American chill
dren. The Russian children are
brought up according to the English
customs, living much of the time in
the open air, and are said to be a
strong, jolly lot of youngsters, the
small boy who is the crown prince
imperial being an especially pre-
cocious youngster.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
err strength than other makes.
