The tradition of the relation between filth and dis
ease Is sound; and the clean housekeeper has always
fought files with screens and 1y-traps.
These old-fashioned defcnses are still practical. In
addition, the keeper OF horses should screen his manure
pile and spray 1t with creosote or chloride Of lime. To
allow flies on food is to run the risk Of disease to al

A " FOOL BELIEF.

- SURPRISINGLY large number Of other
wise Intelligent persons still entertain the
~ belief that, according to law, those who
N discover a presumably dead body must
kSTR&9R%N leave It as they find It until the coroner
NSSFS6I arrives or authorizes its removal. 1t is
true that in case OF a murder, or even
Of death by accident, 1t IS we'll for those who find the
body to leave 1t and its surroundings as nearly unmo-
Tested as is consistent with common sense. This is in
order that no clew as to the manner Of death may be
destroyed. But to find a man hanging by the neck and
not cut hin down, or to ind a man floating In the
water and not make every effort at resuscitation-pro-
viding, Of course. that the condition OF the body does not
preclude the possibility Of life-ls to do that which can
be called less than homicide only on the ground Of ig-
norance.
A case In point was that OF Monday Mt Greenwich,
Conn. Domlnick Bond, supervisor Of construction on a
sea wall, fell into the water. His companions finally got
hold Of him, passed a rope about his body and tied It to
a pier, supposlng the man to be dead. Then they sent
for the coroner. When that official arrived he found
the man certainly dead, but declared that had he been
removed from the water and ordinary means employed
at the time his companions secured the body he could
have been resuscitated. Strange how some Of these old
beliefs surylve.-Utlca Globe.

from one company to another. lie is like the bee who,
instead Of getting honey from the flowers, robs the hive
OF his ~neighbors. In the past twisters have been agents
OF other companies, but a new type has sprung up. He
usually calls himself an Insurance expert, or an insur-
ance adviser, or some other name that anything but de-
scribes him. He writes to the policyholder and asks
for the privilege Of showing how the latter may get
more insurance in some other company for the same
rate. 1t is needless to say that this other company is
often some company which has no financial standing.
Just at the present time the twister Is living up to his
name by trying to twist a wrong Interpretation into the
Armstrong law, by saying that deferred or tontine divi-
dends are outlawed, and by attempting to scare policy
holders in other ways. The only way to treat the
anarchist Of life insurance is to drive him out Of bust
ness by having nothing to do with him-Leslie's Weekly.

may be exerted, at one time or another, to add to your
success. Tho oftener you cause that force to be ex-
erted, the faster your business will grow. You can at
tract these Individual forces, II you choose, and get the
most from them. Or you can repel them and suffer
actual damage from having come in contact with them.
Or you may take a middle course, as many business
men do, and drift along in purely negative manner.
Looking at business In this light, 1t is apparent that
the underlying element which contributes most to the
success Of any undertaking, and to business in the agEre-
gate, is the art Of finding the vital points of human con-
tact that will set in motion these forces. The personal
element must be stamped upon your business.-Systen.

the village OF Laurium from now un-

does not mean that the village govern

Last month the funds available in
the treasury reached very low ebb
and IL was thought that II would be

this has been avoided thus far. and If
the outstanding taxes which are even
now delinquent are promptly paid. the
next monthly statement will be bet

crease in tax rate. The success of the

that the same treatment will be tried
on other roads next summer. The cit

year, and If the opportunity presents
itself, it will be built next summer
Ii is possible that other improvements
in the fire fighting equipment viii be
attempted at the same time. THESE
improvements will tax the financial
capacity of the town next year. and II
