ANOTHER BIG BALL
GAME FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The Elks have gotten together for
their second base ball game. 1t will
be played at 2:.3O tomorrow afternoon
at Amusement Park. 1t will be be
tween the Greeks and Barbarians.
Fred Hunt will be the Ingomar of the
unlettered and Hi Dow will captain
the silk stockings. The funny part of
this game is the fact that all the
players are in dead earnest. The
same bunch played a game a few
days age and for a few innings put
up what was called a good exhibition
of base ball. After that, of course,
they went up in the air and filled up
the book with figures, especially
the run and error columns. But the
innings when the game was close
gave all the players the feeling that
they could keep up the lick through
a whole game the next time, and to-
is set as the time to make the
test. Following are the line-ups:
Greeks-Mook, catcher; Webster
and, pitchers; Hull, first base; Daniel
second base; 'Pruit and Webster, short
Dow third base and captain; McClung
left field; Bedell, center field; Psele,
right field; Phillips and O'Brien sub
stitutes.

THE PENALTIES OF IN
Dol ENGE AND Ell TIL |

The person who pays a heavy doc
tor bill and probably a much sadder
account to somebody else as the re-
suit of a fever or other ailment in the
family may not derive much consola-
ton from subsequent knowledge OF
the act that the whole penalty as
well as the grievous loss might have
been prevented by the timely expen-
diture of a few dollars in cleaning
house or in repairing The screens or
the drainage. 1t is a we'll known fact
that most ailments of children are
~traceable to animals, insects or to YER
min. There are some who send for
the doctor when the thing to do is to
clean the house.
New Orleans and several other cit
les of the South have begun a war of
determination on mosquitoes and
flies, directed by their health officers
and upheld by police authority. New

several times that the council was mis-

Mosquitoes are to be destroyed by de

pie are urged to attend to this duty
without delay. "A member of the New
Orleans Health Board is out in an in.
teryiew urging every precaution a
gainst the common h%ousefy. He says
among other things:
Already in u midst, the house
fly, the dirty fly, the typhoid and
cholera infantum fly. will soon
swarm in thousands and millions
unless precautions are taken. The
housefy, which we were taught In
our childhood to treat with kindness
has been exposed. Its habits are fl
thy. 1t breeds in table, and garb-
g pals and carries the filth it rev

ease. 1t is a nuisance. 1t must be ex-
terminated. 1t can be driven out of
every city. In al age of knowledge,
screens and cheap d~isinfectants
there is no excuse for flies in any
household. Clean up your premises
and report to the Health Depart
ment YOU neighbor who does not.
Get rid of breeding places of flies
and you will get rid of flies.
There is 10 family so poor it can
not afford to screen its home. Screens
will turn away all flies as well as mos
q%uitoes. The unscreened house, in
other words, is a dangerous thing, and
screens on windows and outside
from several points OF view.
From the same city comes a card
bearing the following advice to the
people of all the Southern cities:
There ought to be some way to
compel landlords to screen houses,
flats and tenements against flies.
People ought to be compelled to
screen their windows and doors so
flies can not get in. Especially
should this be enforced in the tene-
ment districts. If the poor tenants
of these houses will not do 1t the
landlords ought 10 ne compelled to
do it We will try and work out
a plan that will be fair to all, but
that will compel the screening of

A CHANCE FOR ESCAPE.

A CHANCE FOX ESCAPE.
THE inqllsitor was quick to detect
the failure to frighten his victim.
He was not quite clever enough, how
ever, to change the course of his speech.
He went on with the gruesome details
OF the dragging of the body through
the thick brush, s-phasiziGg each fea-
/ ture of 1t that might hold some special
horror.
And then. he finished. hercely, then
YOU pushed that mangled co'pse over

These words succeeded in producing
the shudder for which the keen eyes Of
Spratt were looking.
Naturally Dick shuddered as he
thought of the CHASTITY occupant Of the
place where he must shortly afteTward
have been bathing. But he knew the
shudder was being taken by the sheriff
as further indication Of his guilt.

Then take thatr the sheriff shouted,

For a moment Dick faltered. When
a third blow was struck, with the
question, "Do you deny IL nOw?' ne
was almost ready to acknowledge the
crime for self-protection.
But he did not yield. He determined
rather TO die than permit this man to
make him own deed he had never
committed.
