Congressman Talbot Once Wore Side
Whiskers.-A great many years ago, when
Robert Garrett, the Republican candidate Tor
Congress in the Second district, was wearing
pinafores and William Anderson, the agent OF
the Anti Saloon League, was bowling because
the big boys picked on him" back in Illinois,
or Indiana or Hawaii, or wherever he did come
from, Fired" Talbot, the veteran boss OF Bal
tlmore county, was just entering politics, says
the Sunday San.
1t was about this time that Mr.. Talbot ran
before the people of his county for the tlrst
office he ever aspired to-that of States Attor-
ney. He was then % years old, and as young
looking for his age then as he is now. Asa
matter of fact, he looked like KID, ana 70
the old timers who had been running the poll.
tics of the county for years he was q kid"
and nothing else.
At that time the only charge that was made
against Mr.. Talbot, who had come out In the
open as the hottest kind of candidate for
States Attorney, was that he was too young.
That was the only thing anybody had to say
against him. Now, 40 years later, this accuse
ton is no longer made against him, but accord.
ing to Mr.. Garrett and Mr.. Anderson, he has
IN the intervening 40 years, committed many
more grievous and heinous crimes.
In that day, however, he had only to defend
himself against the charge of being too youth
full. 1t was a hot campaign, and to overcome
the opposition Mr.. Talbot grew desperate and
for the first, last and only time in his life Gull
Cvated bona hde set OF EngllSn muItOn CnOp
whiskers. They sprouted on both sides of his
face They were dark brown in color, with
tnge of green.
For three weeks Mr.. Talbot disguised him
self by wearing these whiskers. He admits
now that they were the most hideous, NANCY
set of whiskers ever seen in the county. For
three weeks Mrs. Talbot would not speak to
him and his life was burden, but his hirsute
adpfnments gave his friends the opportunity
to 30 all over the county, saying, what, Fred
Talbot too young to be States Attorney?
Why, you just ought to see his whiskers."
The people who merely heard about his
whkkers voted for him. Those who really
sawlhm voted against him-all except his most
tried and trusted friends, and even some Of
these could not stand up under the awful spec
taCle he presented.
Mr. Talbot was nominated at Towson after
four ballots. The barber shop at Towson is
just two blocks away from the Court House,
where the convention was held. Mr.. Talbot
himself tells what happened.
Three minutes after had been declared the
nominee be says, II was in the barber shop.
One minute later / was in the chair. Fifteen
minutes later came out of the shop, leaving
those whiskers behind me. Then / received
the congratulations of my friends, but just
felt could not do it with those things on my

People Should Beware ofthe Fly Pest
Prof. Thomas B. Symons. State entomologist,
in an address last Saturday at Pleasant Hill
Grange picnic at Arcadia, Baltimore county,
spoke of the common house fly as factor IN
disseminating intestinal diseases, especially ty-
phoid fever and dysentery.
He believes the control of the pest OF even
greater importance than the mosquito for
there are more deaths from typhoid fever and
dvsentery than from malaria. He is conduct
ing a campaign to have the people realize the
importance of first preventing the breeding OF
flies and avoiding their access to filth and thence
to food that is eaten. :,
1.-THE abolition of flies will naturally involve
some trouble and expense. In town or thick
" settled country it will become necessary for
general measures of cleanliness to be adopted to
Secure results, but in an isolated farmhouse the
number of house flies may be greatly reduced
nv individual work. All accumulations in
stables or barns should be collected, If not
daily, at least once a week, and should either
be disposed of on the farm or placed in either
a nit or vault or in screened Enclosure at the
side or end of the stable.
"Similar care should be taken in preventing
closets or other filth from serving as breeding
place for the pest.
"Flies can be prevented from gaining access
to the food by careful screening Of houses to
protect dining-rooms and kitchens and by
screening all food"
