DIsINEECr THE NEW HOME.

DIR. Dixon, state health COMMISSION
er for Pennsylvania, gives some timely
advice to people who are about to
move into new home. 1t is reprint
ed in the March bulletin of the state
board of health because it is just as
good advice for the people of Kansas
as it is for those of Pennsylvania. DR..
Dixon advises these people that, be-
fore occupying a house from which
another family has moved away, all
the rooms should be, thoroughly fumi-
gated and disinfected. He adds:
This is the season of the year
when, on all sides, we see people NOV
ing from one home to another. The
householder decides to change his resi-
dence, and rents house from which
another family is just moving. OF
course, floors are scrubbed. cellars are
cleared of the rubbish left by the
tenant, back yards are cleaned UP, and
we take it for granted that the house.
keeper of the incoming family works
to make the new home at very be-
ginning clean and neat.
1.-The cleaning 1 have mentioned.
however, is not sufficient. Soap and
water are splendid things. but, unfor
tunately, they will not kill germs of
disease that may Turk in the new
home, and bring the hearse to the
door soon after the moving van has
driven away.
How do you know that there has
not been a consumptive living in the
house into which you are moving?
The afflicted one may have been in a
mild stage of the disease, but. never
theless, he may have left behind the
germs that will result in injecting one
of your family with this disease, which
every year carries off so many thou
sands of people in Pennsylvania.
81 am convinced that hundreds and
hundreds of cases of tuberculosis and
other infectious and contagious dis
ceases could be avoided every day by
the precaution of proper disinfection.
We are all anxious to do everything
possible for the health of our chill
dren, but too often we fail to take
some simple precaution. and disease
stalks in through the bars that we
have left down"

the bill is now in the hands of the

A REMEDY FOR REVOLUTIONS

A REMEDY FOR REVOLUTIONS
Secretary of State Knox should not
overlook the significance of the latest
news of the progress of the war be-
tween Nicaragua and Salvador. The
report is meager, but furnishes hint
of means by which a shrewd diplomat
may be able to make future wars in
Central America impossible.
The steamship Acapulco has just
touched Pacific coast port with the
information that the war between Sal
vador and Nicaragua was stopped for
a couple of days in order to give the
residents of the. town of Acajutla an
opportunity to attend a circus. When
the steamer arrived at Acapulco the
town was under martial law and
troops were being hurried to the from
tier to engage in deadly conflict with
the hated invaders. The next day a
circus came to town and the war was
declared off for the time being. The
martial fever died down and all the
population turned out to see the ele
plant and join in the sa1vos of ap-
plause for the queen of the bareback
riders.-Omaha Bee.
THE OTHER PLANETS.
Nearly overhead these nights,
about O'Clock, is the planet Jupiter,
the largest of the solar system About
this planet revolve eight moons. None
of these moons can be seen with the
naked eye, and three cannot be seen
with the largest telescopes in the
world.
The question naturally arises. how
is it known then that they exist?
You have probably seen in the Bible
the phrase. 1.-The evidence of things

illustration of it. The evidence of the
speek on a piece of paper. One can
not see the moons, but he can see

plate catches an impression that is

THE RAILROAD PROBLEM.
The railways are public carriers.
| The railways can not exist without aid
from the state. They enjoy valuable
franchises, and by reason of the fact
that unless they were granted conces-
exist, they should be and must be
amenable to government regulation in
a larger degree than private property
and ordinary investment enterprises
which have required no special exer-
else of legislative power. All this is
conceded. Yet there remains ground
| for debate.
| Government regulation of railways
| is undeniably justffable. The ques-
ton is only as to how far it is con-
sistent with wise regulation of rail-
ways. In the first place they should
be allowed conditions of existence not
| interfering with their liberty SO far

ANYWAY" He went on to remark:

Are Women Less Honest Than Men?
"Are women less honest than men ?"
This FACILITATING question has become
one of the great subjects of discus

There is not one dares openly to af-
firm that woman Is dishonest. Anatole
France, the master of contemporary
French literature, questions whether
man is so virtuous that he should de-
sire to weigh himself in the balance
against woman. And he speaks OF
masculine arrogance and feroc1ty ana
brutality. And SO woman-according
to the judgment of Paris-fs not more
dishonest than man. Whence sprang
