COMMON SENSE AND COMMON
HEALTH.

The Philadelphia board Of health
has issued bulletin which may DO
called a guide 10 health and which
should be generally read.
The bulletin is n model OF clear,
terse, timely advice: Clean water,
clean food, clean houses clean
clothes, clean bodies, keep us heal
thy" A careful expansion Of this
proposition constituted the rest Of
the document. which went into min
ute details concerning methods OF
observing cleanliness. one pungent
statement deserves repetition and
emphasis: she daliy b-.;a Is the best
treatment In the field OF preventive
medicine" The home without a
bathroom can save the price OF one
out OF It's medicine bill.
Especially strong Is the emphasis
aid upon the Importance OF clean
lood Summer time IS fly time, and
lily time means filth. and filth means
disease, and disease means the dan
ger of death. The truth needs to be
hammered homo, in season and out,
that dirt Is not only ugly and a sign
OF bad housekeeping, and unrefined
personal habits, but that dirt Is pos
itively dangerous. Drive away dirt
and the doctor will have to follow
II. The menace OF food exposed for
sale on the street, where all the
germs that travel about town are
given hospitable welcome, is
stressed by Dr.. Abbott; the tenn sta
ton to buy such Is great just now
The cheapness OF slightly spoiled
fruit makes II peculiarly perilous,
IL the men at the head OF our
boards OF health had their way,
Americans would lose some Of their
good-natured easy-going ways with
respect to their food supply, They
would peep and peer and inspect and
inquire and criticize great deal
more, until the slovenly storekeeper
and restaurant owner would be for
ced 70 clean up. A dozen particular
customers would transform any
place OF business that is lax In this
particular; for the money nerve is
the most sensitive OF all nerves
more sensitive indeed, than con.
sciences.

WIPE THEM OUT.

"A national campaign against the
house fly and mosquito has been
planned and is about to be begun
by the government bureau OF Insects,
II will cover the entire country, and
in its prosecution measures are to be
urged by which not only communl-
ties but whole states will be enabled
to rid themselves OF these deadly
enemies OF mankind.
In order to attain this end It is
necessary merely to adopt few sim
pie and well-understoo methods, the
application OF which may be intrust-
ed to local boards OF health. Where
the mosquito is concerned. however,
II Is deemed advisable that there
should be a general control by the
states because OF the fact that certain
species OF these tuneful marauders
are migratory and liable to appear
suddenly in multitudinous swarms in
places far from their breeding areas,
giving profound encouragement to
local efforts toward eAterminaion.
The house fly is strictly local; II
never goes far from the place where
It was Matched. Furthermore, prac-
tically all house flies are bred in
stables. Hence II is simple matter
to exterminate them absolutely.
There is no doubt that house fiiAs
and mosquitoes transmit germs and

EXCHANGE COMMENT.
Governor Lanham Dead.

Governor Lanham Dead.
Young Texans can well afford to
consider at the passing of EX-Goy-
ernor Lanham, some Of the charac-
teristics which endeared him to his
political admirers and won him sig
nal honors.
He was courteous, polished, re-
fined careful user Of English, and
dlgnified gentleman in speech, in
act. One who had met him in his
later years would have had diff
Guilty in believing that he drove over
land in a wagon with his bride from
North Carolina to Texas, that he
never went to college and knew the
guidance OF only one school teacher,
and that with no prominence other
than that attained by a modest law
practice in a little country town he
was elected to five terms in the
highest law-making body Of Amer
lCa.
He was simple, sincere and honest
and everybody who knew him, knew
that he possessed these three char
acteristics. Texas has had more
brilliant governor. 1t has had gov
errors who could make speeches
that would sway thousands and gov
errors whose words, after death are
still used as political precepts, but 1t
never had more kindly governor
than Lanham, or one whose simple
honesty was more apparent.
Born to the uses of ignoSlnce and
poverty, he raised hmselfsto a sta
tion OF scholarly refinement and I'M
ostentatious elegance. He was a
self-made man of that finer type
which is seldom encountered in these
days Of getting rich rapidly. Gov
ernor Lanham was never concerned
dDOuL bCNllIS lANu' NAV was OLe
of his pleasing advantages.
1t would be pleasing to record
that his latter years were marked by
quiet ease and enjoyment of we'll
earned honors. To a large extent
they were, but Texas Democracy
ought to shed a tear or two today,
for shame as we'll as grief at the
insult which 1t gave Lanham at one
Of its political conventions after the
governor had retired from office.
Lanham will long be remembered
after the men who were responsible
for the dlscourtesy shown him at
Dallas are forgotten.
Governor Lanhams name will be
held in kindly memory by Thousands
of Texans, The record OF his service
to the state stands spotless and fine.
He died with a smile on his lips, as
a tired man who welcomes a long
rest These things, and the knowl-
edge that their sorrow is widely
shared, ought to mellow tho grief OF
his bereaved family.-Fort Worth

Be careful what you say!

One OF the prevailing tendencies
among young men is that of speaking
carelessly and slightingly of the vir-
tue of women. All young women are
inherently pure. Some are thought
less and reckless aud not sufficiently
careful about their actions, but as
rule they are honest and yirtuous
and have no evil intentions. Msn
are too swift to place a low estimate
upon woman's integrity. They will
utter remarks concerning women
which II said in their presence con-
corning their own mothers or sisters
they would quickly resent with a
blow. But they forget that the wo-
men they have spoken against are
the mothers or wives or sisters Of
other men. And it is so easy to be-
smirch the good name OF woman.
The breath Of suspicion can blight
a life and destroy hope and ambi.
ton, Many young woman has
been driven to life of shame by
the wagging tongue of gossipers.
Speak we'll or women!
