In the war on the ny. the report
gives the formula for a poison that
will kill the flies and not endanger
human life. II is a dram Of potash
dissolved in two ounces of water and
sweetened. There are other sanitary
regulations that the health report
says ought to be exercised. Here
are some OF the ways suggested:
Screen your windows and doors
before fly time.
Screen all food and especially milk
Keep flies away from the sick-espec-

and other refuse.
Keep garbage receptacles tightly
covered. Clean the cans daily Clean
the boxes every week.
Pour kerosene into the drains;
keep sewage system I'm good order;

Upheld Mississippi Catfish's Honor

I'll show you," quoth Deane. He proceeded to his comfortable home and informed Mrs. Deane that, for the first time in his life his word was doubted, and over Mississippi river catfish at that. They put their heads together and composed letter to the United States Fish Commission, ask ing that Deane's statement be yeri- field, if possible, from the official rec ords.
 A reply was received instanter. Commissioner Bowers declaring that a 1OO-pound catfish is small for the Mississippi and showing that 3OO- pounders are not uncommon. Bearing this epistle in his hand, and with a serene smile on his countenance Deane proceeded to his accustomed place in the bureau and called for the. skeptics.
 All hands were convinced and re. treated in silence to their ink-stained presses. I've seen many big cat fish in Missouri" said Deane "hut was not prepared to go as far as Com missioner Bowers in attesting their size. l was shown myself and did some tall showing"

A Lonely Thanksgiving

Some years ago sailing ship bound from New York to Singapore with oil, took fire in the middle of the Indian ocean the day before Thanksgiving Realizing that it was impos- sible to extinguish the burning oil, the captain ordered the men to the boats, with such pro- visions as they could carry at short notice. The long-boat containing the captain, second mate and ten men, got away all right, but was never heard of again. The cutter, with the first mate and the rest of the crew, after drifting about in the darkness for several hours, went broadside against coral reef and was smashed like an eggshell. The mate alone suc- ceeded in reaching land, all the others being dashed to death on the jagged reef-points or drowned in the boiling surf
 Daylight showed the survivor that he was marooned on a little island that was not much more than cluster of rocks rising above the waves. It was half mile wide at the wid- est part and about mile in circumference and was surrounded by bristling chevaux de frise of reefs, over which the pillows spouted in foam and thunder Beyond the glittering walls of spray was the desolate expanse of the Indian ocean, with not sail or smudge of smoke anywhere in sight. The shipwrecked

Question of Ham Raised in Washington

this dainty morsel is not only an art, but borders on the sacred things of our lives.
 Our pigs are raised with infinite care; they are not allowed to associate with those of the lower strata in life; iron-clad rules are observed in feed ing and grooming them, and when at last they are doomed to die, we are almost as sorry as they can possibly be.
 But our qualms of conscience are aSsuaged when, after months of smok- ing in the dear old smokehouse, the hams are tenderly taken from their hooks and treated to a period of sim mering for you never boil ham) and basting and browning and garnishing, then served and eaten with pure joy and gusto.
 They don't know what a really good piece of hog meat is in Virginia l will admit, however, that I learned all I know about cooking ham from my friend Mrs. Burke of Alexandria. Mrs. Burke is great-granddaughte of Thomas Jefferson, and she was telling me how the art of simmering the dainty came to be known in America.
 'She said that when MT. Jefferson was rambling about Europe in search of knowledge, he happened to stay in Paris at fashionable hotel. The ham was so good that MT. Jefferson called for the Prince of the Kitchen and asked him how he managed to- keep the meat so tender
 Ze ham must be simmered, mon sieur le American,' he was told by the obliging chef.

nHRS CHAMP CLARK of Missouri WI has entered controversy which is in progress in Washington among society leaders, epicures and chefs as to the best way to cook Virginia ham, by contending that Missouri ham is the best, anyhow. The wife of the Democratic leader in the house of representatives takes direct issue with Gov Joe" Blackburn, Col John A. Joyce, Mrs F. Berger Moran and others who have declared in favor of hickory smoke with which to cure tho ham, the light of the full moon in which to kill it, and that it must come from the Mother of Presidents,' for only there does the real aristocratic porker have it's being. The contro- versy has become so hot that Presi- dent Taft may be called upon to de- eide it.
 The Missouri ham is so far ahead of anything in the pig line introduced by Virginia or elsewhere" said Mrs. Clark, that I cant understand how people can be so deceived. Isn't every thing better in Missouri than else where? Why, of course it is. Then, why shouldn't hams be superior? With us raising, curing, cooking and serving

Uncle Sam Develops New Easter Lily

 With view of bringing this apout the hybridization of the Philippine and the Bermuda lily has been ef1ect- ed. The result of the cross is flow CT larger than the familiar Easter n.y. but not quite so broad as and httle shorter than the Philippine lily l Up to this time Americans have had to rely for very sparse supply or Philippines lilies upon the Philippine islands, and they arrive early In the 1 spring, when they cannot be used TOT forcing; but by growing them Ill California they can be obtained in the i fall in good time for forcing into HOW CT during the winter. The plants so far grown in California. says MT Oliver do not show signs of the lily disease.
 A second line of work in connection with the production of lilies has been under way in the department for the last four years This embraces the selection of plants which show free- dom from disease as manifested by spotted leaves and distorted flowers Three varieties have been selected, all of which are well known in thls country.
 In connection with the work on the improvement of florists flowers new summer-blooming dahlia has been de- veloped by Mir. Oliver, and, it is be- lieved, will fill long-felt want in supplying flowers of brilliant colors several weeks before the ordinary types of dahlias are available. The seed-bearing parent of the new race is species discovered three years ago in Mexico at an elevation of 7,000 feet by Federico Chisholm. The plants were forwarded to the bureau of plant l industry and have been crossed with the ordinary species, and as result of these crosses more than 20 new forms have been developed.

One thing is certain, however President Taft

One thing is certain, however, President Taft gives thanks for golf.
 Over at Fort Myer, across the Potomac the soldiers celebrate Thanksgiving with football and big dinner The fall festival is celebrat- ed at every army post in the United States, and is celebrated royalty. The commissary puts forth of it's best, and the dinner is even better than that given the soldiers Christ mas day. Perhaps the reason is that the prop CT observance of Thanksgiving day is regarded in the light of order from the commander in-chief. The Thanksgiving proclamation has the same binding effect on the army and navy order for the two arms of the service to go forth to fight.
 It should not be forgotten, perhaps, that one great cause for Thanksgiving this year at the White House dinner table is that William Howard Taft has returned unscathed from the longest presidential journey undertaken

\ MONG the employees of the Bureau 11 of Engraving and Printing, in Washington, where all the paper money that circulates in this country is printed, are some men so benighted as not to believe that Mississippi river catfish ever tip the scales at 100 pounds or more. William c. Deane, a prominent member of the Missouri society of the District of Columbia some time ago undertook to convince the doubting Thomases that catfish at tain gigantic proportions in the Fa- ther of Waters.
 He declared that he had recently seen catfish caught that weighed up- wards of 100 pounds. His associates in the bureau laughed him to scorn- made him real mad

The Habit of 7hankfulness

We are creatures of habit and habits express our characters.
 Too many people have formed the habit of chronic grumbling. Nothing suits them. No matter how beautiful the weather, they could improve it. They may be enjoying the very best of health, but they will not admit it. They are eterpally predicting disaster They are chronic grumblers
 They grumble at board, they grumble in bed, From the soes of their feet to the crown of
 their head.
 Such a spirit is a crime in this world and age This is beautiful world. This is the best age of history. Every "A hours the sun is shining upon a better, brighter happier earth. We are the heirs of all the ages in the foremost files of times"
 We are living, we are dwelling in grand and
 awful time
 In an age on ages telling, to be living Is
 sublime
 It is just as easy and infinitely better to cul. tivate the cheerful thankful spirit. Gratitude should be the habit of every life To look on the bright side, to carry sunshine in the heart and reflect it in speech and conduct is to enjoy life and make it blessing to the world

VNASHINGTON.-The plant experts w of the department of agriculture are turning their attention to things of beauty as well as usefulness, and several new flowers have been evolved by them. Next season in all probabil- ity some novel varieties of lilies which were originated in the departments greenhouses in Washington will be placed upon the market by growers, as well as new summerblooming dahlia.
 "The growing of lilies in the United States" said Prof. B. T. Galloway, in charge of the bureau of plant indus try, lis rapidly becoming an impor- tant industry. Large quantities of bulbs have in years past been i'm ported from Bermuda, Japan and oth- CT countries, and the demand for the Towering plants seems to be on the increase.
 Various lines of work have been undertaken and carried out by our expert, MT. Oliver chiefly for the pur- pose of securing new types of lilies by hybridizing and crossing and to demonstrate the practicability of grow ing lilies in this country directly from seed''
 One of the most promising of the hybrids has resulted from crossing the Philippine lily and the Bermuda lily The Philippine lily takes two months to come into bloom from the period of planting the bulb, while the Bermuda and it's various relatives require in the neighborhod of five months.

THEY get off some awful stories on ! the "old Sleuths," but this one is straight goods: R. F. Le Mat, we'll known Washington athlete, spent the summer near to natures heart" up in the wilds of Idaho He started back attired in wild and woolly fash ion, pair of corduroy trousers, big sombrero, and his face adorned with a huge goatee, all of which may at times be worn by confidence men, but were not in this case.
 Besides that he had along with him when he got on the pullman in Chi cago "gunny" sack. which he hand led carefully. Chicago sleuths spot ted him at once. Yes, indeey They saw in that "gunny" sack the loot of a train robbery that recently oc- cured in the middle west.
 The fact that Le Mat seemed to be very careful of the sack and it's con tents was sure enough proof of
