Cleanliness Death To Flies

With the approach of spring it is
we'll that the attention or all he call.
ed again to a question as old as that
of sanitation itself. that OF the evil
effects of flies upon the health Of the
community.
II there is no filth there will be
no flies" is the dictum that the Chi
cago health department is attempting
to enforce.
To make q practical application OF
the doctrine, a committee OF seventy
specially appointed inspectors has
made a house-to-house canvass among
the poorer people to teach them the
Importance Of cleanliness.
With all houses well-Sewered and
screened, the flies that feed upon the
filth and kitchen refuse would largely
disappear and the health conditions
would be to that extent improved.
A relatively small amount OF we'll.
directed effort, will keep the kitchens
and other partitions OF the homes
clean, sweet and wholesome

many to be harmless, except az 1T is
is extremely annoying to bald heads
in hot weather, but 1t is a fact indu-
bitably proven by experience that

When Mills all Come to the Cot
ton Patch.

In time, it gees without saying, the
cotton produced in these United
States is going to the manufactured
here. In time little il any raw cot.
ton will ever touch salt water.
When that time comes, what is 60.
ing to become OF the multitude OF mill
workers in Europe? How are they
going to live? What will become of the
mill workers in China and Japan, who
will by that time be prohibited from
coming to the United States to work
in the factories mere?
In time every thread Ct Dagging will
be raised ia this country. and no more
will he brought from foreign India.
What is then to become OF the slaves
who now raise the crop in India :
They can not come here to raise it.
They have M other means Of living.
There are still some great problems
to solve. The world is filling up rap
idly. There are a few UNEMPLOYED cor
nerS. but no human being can live in
any OF those. The old plan Of war
ring for plumber has played out.
Men now earn their living by work of
some sort. What is going to become
of them, in the march Westward,
when their means Of living are taken
from them? 1t may be fifty years first,
but it is surely coming. Cotton and

Mr.. Taft and the South.

To those of US whose thoughts run
backward as we'll as forward, who keep
the past ia mind when we try to look
into the future, hardly anything In
President Taft's inaugural address
can have a deeper Significance than
his words about the South and the
negro. Had a Democrat been speak
ing, they would not seem SO remark.
able, O would they have such
weight. Coming from the lips OF a
Republican president, the leader OF a
Republican party, they seem to stand
for a final adoption Of a new party
policy: they reflect a change. also. in
public opinion; and they may mark
the beginning OF a new period in our
political history.
We a hardly praise enough the
spirit OF these paragraphs. Take the
candor of the admission that the Re.
publican party's policy in RECONSTRUCT

which was in essence TO give him

of the presidents ardent desire to
make the Southern people feel that
the government is their government,
and that it's officers in their states

declarations his word of sympathy

and all the more sincere for not
being violent or inflammatory-
and there is displayed such a gen.
eral attitude on THE Southern QueS-
ton as we have not see matched
since Lincoln. We say this in the
full consciousness of what President
Roosevelt did-and he did much-and
what NICK :Iley and Cleveland did in
their time, to make it possible ior
President Taft to take such a stand
as he has taken.

Cotton in Foreign Credit.

Cotton pays our debts and turns
the balance in our favor in almost ali
the foreign countries.
The part that cotton plays in the
formation of international credit is
interestingly illustrated in the figures
of exports for the eight months ended
with February. In this time there was
exported 3,653.O l bales, having a
value of 1928, 1856, 600. Never before
was 50 much cotton exported in a cor
responding time. The average price
per pound. however, is the lowest in
four years, which keeps the value un-
der last year and the year before by
a small margin. The export price has
been approximately 9 cents per pound
against IL cents last year.
Because of the increase IN quantity
the loss in value of cotton exports has
been the lowest Of the staple crops.
American grain prices have been ex-
cessiveV high and far above a parity
with European markets, 30 that in
the case of corn, exports have fallen
of about 40 per cent in eight months
and in wheat y per cent as compared
with last year. while in value despite
high price, there has been a heavy
loss. Cotton, then, may be said to
have saved the day in foreign credits.
Following the panic of 1907 Europe
continued tc take cotton when we could
sell them nothing else, and it was
against cotton bills sold in exchange
market that the heavy gold imports.
which built up depleted reverses of the
Eastern banks, we're drawn.
Even with trade depressed abroad,
cotton at 9 cents has still been an at
tractive purchase f"r foreign users.
The usual, the logical effect Of a
monopoly in any commodity of COM
merce is to increase it's price. Cotton
is the only known exception to this
universal rule. The South has a mo-
nopely of cotton production, yet the
South is powerless to increase its
price. The reason for this anomalous
condition is found in the folly of the
Southern cotton farmer who grows
cotton for the world and nothing for
himself. When he learns-as he is
learning-to diversity his crops, raise
his own meat, grain, fruit, forage,
vegetables, ETC., then will he be able
to dictate the price Of his cotton and
not till then-then and then only will
he reap the fruits OF the only nat
ural monopoly in the economy Of the
universe. N~ature--"which is but a
name for al effect whose cause is
God, has given him a monopoly
whose benefits every nj but himself
enjoys.-Cotton and Cotton Oil (Dal-
las) News.

THE BRIGHT SIDE

Of life. It is a feeling common
to the majority of US that we
do not get quite the amount Of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make US more or
less miserable Ill health takes
the first place. No doubt
crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause Of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a.
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
multitude TO one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sltion in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
all the curative properties of
pure Cod Liver Oil, combined
with the Compound Syrup of
Hypophosphites and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry. No
thing has such a record of sue
cess in Scrofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations of strength and
vlgour. It's use helps to show
life's brighter side. Professor
Reddy, of Canada, says: 90 I have

Fave used it in cases of debility
and found it to be a very valu-
able remedy as well as pleasing

A MOST ANCIENT DOCUMENT

A Berlin letter says that out of the
mass of so-called ''elephantine" papy-
rus in the Royal Museum at Berlin,
on which a number of scholars Lave
been at work several months, have
come some of the most curious finds
the scientific world has been present
ed with in years.
One of these is the most ancient
marriage contract in the world ac-
cOrding to Professor Leopold Weqger,
an eminent hellenist. Written in ex-
cellent classical Greek, and from its
context evidently composed about 81
B. c., the document begins: I'm the
seventh year of the reign of Alexan-
der, the son of Alexander, in the four
teenth year of the satrapy of Ptole-
macs in the month of Dios."
This contract sets forth that Herak-
leides has agreed to take as his wife
Memetria, of Kos, the lawful daughter
of her father, Leptines, and of her
mother, Philetis. Then it acknowl-
edges the receipt of clothing and jew
els valued at a thousand drachmas.
which Demetria has laid at his feet
in recognition of the honor he is about
to bestow upon her. Even the newly
welded couples place of residence is
given in the agreement. The rest of
the contract deals with the possibility
of the husbands unfaithfulness and
provides for the regulation and settle
ment of any lapse of obligation. That
Demetria should be untrue evidently
was not contemplated, as no mention
is made of such possibility.
In case the husband should forget
his vows it is provided that each side
shall appoint an arbitrator and when
the charge is proved the marriage is
to be dissolved, the husband giving
back the thousand drachmas' worth
of clothes and jewels and paying be-
sides a thousand drachmas in Alexan-
drine silver currency.
Six witnesses signed the contract.
which is still in state of nearly per-
feet preservation, after nearly 22OO
years.
Ii will be seen that even at that
early age of the world silver was cur
rent money with the merchant.

"WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
kANSAS?"

William Allen White achieved fame
in a day by writing an editorial, cap
toned, whats the Matter With
Kansas" for his Emporia paper. That
was away back in the populist and
grasshopper days and the question
has been answered hundreds and
thousands of times since, sometimes
TO the credit of Kansas and oftener in
testing mood. Just now we are in
clined to the opinion that if there is
anything the matter with Kansas it is
because the legislature has overlooked
it. That state has been so busy max
ing people good by legislation that, il
the laws are all working well, the
name of the commonwealth should be
changed to Arcadia, or Utopia.
A new bunch of Kansas laws went
into effect on June 1. Of course
some prohibition laws are among the
number. Kansas has been legislating
against the thirst so long that the ma
tives would feel lonesome should the
adjourn without enacting
some new wrinkle in the temperance
line. The new law prohibits the sell
ing of any fluid that contains as much
as 2 per cent. of alcohol. Physicians
are not allowed to prescribe whiskey
as medicine and individuals are pro
hibited from selling, drinking or Civ.
ing drinks of intoxicating liquor The
lawmakers propose to make dry
mean something.
But Kansas was not content to con-
fine efforts of the moral uplift to the
suppression of booze. Another law
enacted makes a fruit tree agent who
misrepresents his wares liable to a
fine and Imprisonment 1t is made
unlawful to shoot an American eagle
and child actors are not allowed to ap-
pear in the theaters. The farmers find
NAoN NAC. NOO DuO1 W MdNCn lhC1l
pigs and so the legislature has passed
a law requiring railroads to build hog
tight fences along the right of way
where farmers request it. Cities are
compelled to preserve the purity of
streams in their vicinity and mer-
chants are prohibited from publishing
advertisements of bargains that they
cannot justify by the production of
he specified good son demand.
If the Kansas legislators only would
meet in special session and pass laws
against the June rise in the Kaw riv-
er, abolishing the hot winds in July

preston of the cinder beetle, discov-
ered by Professor Adna P. Gristlebone

OCALA STILL AHEAD

Judged by the business done
through the postal department, Ocala
continues to lead all interior cities.
1t will be seen that Tallahassee
pushes Ocala to a close second, but
the legislature was in session this
year, which largely accounts for the
increase in its postal business, while
Occla just keeps along in the even
tenor of its way, doing steady, pro-
gressive business.
The postal footings for the calendar
year ending June l. 1909, are as fol-
lows.
