WHERE THE PEOPLE LIVE.
About One Third of Our Population Is in
the ID Original States.


Of the 50, 600, 900 people in the United
States, Alaska included, about one-'hird
live in the 10 original States, according to
a statistical abstract of the United
States issued by the bureau of statistics
of the department of commerce and
labor. Another third live in the States
created from the territory coded to the
common union by the original States, and
the remaining third in the area added by
purchase or annexation.
While large share of the territory in
the United States has come under cult
walton or individual ownership, the fig
ures show that in 1908, there were 754,
1896, 900 acres of Incorporated and I'M
reserved land, of which almost one half
was in Alaska.
The total number of immigrants into
the country since 1920, the year of ear
Hest record, exceeds &c, 600, 900.
During the fiscal years 1905, 1906, 1907
the number averaged more than l, OO0,-
600 year. In 1900 the date of the last
census, the total number of persons of
foreign birth living in the country was
10, 400, 900 which was 1877 per cent of the
total population. The receipts of the
post office department show an increase
from about 81, 900, 900 in 1920, to $l91,
500, 900 in 1908. The number Of letters
and post cards sent through the postal
system of the United States is given as

THE HOUSE FLY.

The New York Merchants association
has lately issued pamphlet entitled,
''The House Fly at the Bar" which
places the little pest on trial, and con-
victs it by vast majority of evidence
The evidence is in the form of communi-
cations from the leading health author
tiles and boards of health of the country
1t is almost universally admitted that
flies are responsible for the spread of
typhoid fever to great extent. Nearly
every authority which has made investi-
cation places the blame wholly, or in
part, on the fly; the exceptions being
those which could be traced directly to a
contaminated water supply. So it is
simply matter of pure water and dodg-
ing flies, if one would escape typhoid.
1t is further shown beyond doubt that
the fly deals in other disease germs, in
GLIDING tuberculosis, and cholera infan-
tum. An army doctor offers evidence to
show that the fly was more deadly to the
American army in the Spanish-American
war than the bullets of the enemy.
1t is also shown that the knowledge of
the fy's capacity for evil is now pretty
generally understood. Boards of health
in nearly all the cities represented in the
volume have taken steps to check the
breeding of flies, and to protect the
people and their food from its disastrous
visitations 1t is shown that a single fly
may carry over 100000 disease germs,
and that the fly has habit of hunting up
the filth where disease breeds, and carry
ing the germs on it's visits to homes
where it is admitted.
The Chicago department Of health has
adopted set Of rules which may be fol-
lowed in small town, or even in the
country, and which will greatly lessen
the number of flies, and the danger there
from. The rules are as follows:
Screen all food and keep flies away
from it.
Keep the streets clean.
Keep stable Misunderstanding place
for t1ies-in vault or pit, or screened
inclosure, and sprinkle its surface with
chloride of lime.
Quickly cover up food after a meal,
and bury or burn table refuse.
Keep damp cloths near meat dishes,
milk jugs, and other food receptacles.
Burn pyrethum powder in the house. 1t
will kill most of the flies, and those it
does not will fall stunned, when they
may be swept up and burned. Sticky
fy-papers are a second-rate palliative.
Remember that the exposure of any
kind of refuse near dwelling furnishes
breeding place for flies, and, if food is
exposed, the flies will deposit germs upon
it.
Paste these rules up where you will
see them as often as you see fly, and
remember it is part of your duty to
yourself, as we'll as the community, to
assist in the fight.

MAINE BLUE LAWS"

The following three sections embody
the blue Laws of Maine. The phrase
ology and the great prominence given
innholders, shows the laws to have been
enacted in the days when ''Taverns''
were the chief resort of the tipplers, and
large factories, railroads and other kinds
of business institutions were unknown.
Sec. Is. Whoever, on the Lords Day,
keeps open his shop, workhouse, ware
house or place Of business, travels, or
does any work, labor or business on that
day, except works of necessity or char
ity; uses any sport, game or recreation;
or is present at any dancing, public diver
sion, show or entertainment, encoura-
ging the same, shall be punished by fine
not exceeding ten dollars.
Sec. 26. If an innholder or victualler.
on the Lords Day, suffers any person,
except travellers, strangers or dodgers, to
abide in his house, yard or field, drinking
or spending their time idly, at play or
doing any secular business, except works
of charity or necessity, he shall be pun
ished by fine not exceeding four dollars
for each person thus suffered to abide;
and if after conviction he is again guilty,
by fine not exceeding ten dollars for
each offence; and upon third conviction,
he shall also be incapable of holding any
license; and every person so abiding shall
be fined not exceeding four dollars for
each offence
Sec. q. The Lords Day includes the
time between twelve O'Clock on Satur-
day night and twelve O'Clock on Sunday
night.
Sec. 20. Any person may prosecute
for all offences described in sections
twenty two, twenty-five and twenty-six,
at any time within six months after the
commission thereof.
A careful reading of the law shows
that it was aimed at the inns, and had for
its chief object the prevention of Sunday
carousing, for in those early days there
could have been no disposition on the part
of the store keepers to conduct business
on Sunday, and no demand for open
stores by the people.
The introduction of the word 'necess-
ity, in speaking of work seems to furnish
the "joker" in the law that enables the
mills and factories to have certain labor
performed in them and for them on Sun
day.
As to railroads and Sunday excursions,
the former were unknown to the trainers
of the law, and the prohibition of travel
covers the latter. 1t would seem that
the latitude allowed judges in Maine is
sufficient to make the law of no effect,
providing popular sentiment demanded
and judges acquiesced.

FINANCIAL ADVERTISING.
Banks and Trust Companies Have Followed
Merchants Lead.

In these days of newspaper advertising
the most successful business houses in
any department of mercantile industry
are those which are most persistent and
painstaking in the preparation of their
matter for publication. Many of the
large retail houses have advertising de-
partments, which look after this branch
with care and exactness exceeded by no
other branch. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars are expended annually by these
houses to reach the eye and ear of the
reading public, and the managers find the
investment a profitable one.
Within the last few years the managers
of banks and trust companies have found
newspaper advertising most profitable
investment. In no other way can they
so quickly and effectively reach the eye
and ear of those with whom they desire
to communicate as through the columns
