is needed wherever human beings
make their home-the danger against
which we would provide threatens
every baby in the land and every
mother should feel it necessary to
start husband and brother on the war
path as the pioneers looked for wolves
and pantheTs before putting the baby
TO sleep In this day and generation
it is not the big beast that is TO be
feared nor yet the burglar nor the
nouse-women must look for the BAG
illus they cannot see and provide
guards for the baby against the dan
ger that flies by day and comes In
softly at night. How? DR.. Boyer tells
us in letter which is published with
approval by DR.. Woodward of Wash
ington:
THE housefy, the dirty fly, the ty-
phoid and cholera infantUm fly will
soon swarm in thousands of millions,
unless precautions are taken. The
housef1y, which we were taught in our
childhood to treat with kindness, has
been exposed. It's habits are filthy. 1t
breeds in stables and garbage pals
and carries the filth it reVels in and
tracks it across the sugar, the but
ter and the beefsteak. 1t paddles its
hOTTid feet, gummed with the vilest
rotting matter, in baby's milk.
1T probably disSeminates every dis
ease. 1t must be eXterminated. 1t
can be driven out of every city. In
an age of knowledge, screens and
cheap disinfectants there is no excuse
for flies in any household. Clean up
your premises and report to the health
department your neighbOr who does
not. Get rid of breeding places of
flies and you will get rid of the flies
But when you report 10 the board
of health your duty to the baby has
been only begun-you must watch
that the agents of the board do their
duty. 1t is only by eternal vigilance
that freedom is preserved-isn't your
baby worth as much? Think of the
on a bed of sickness during
the hot summer-of impaired vitality
for months afterwards-of increased
to disease for life and the
possibility of impaired mental or pny-
steal strength, all because you didn't
exercise eternal vigilance against the
dirty little housefiy.

NEED OF CONVENTION
is PLAINLY INDICATED
Miami News-Record.


It is understood that the legislature
has set aside one day during the ses-
sion to consider the many amend
ments to be offered correcting the
errors or enlarging the powers Of the
present constitution of the state.
No less than dozen resolutions
looking to amendments have already
been mentioned, not to speak of the
one on prohibition, and it is thought
the number will be doubled at least,
when the special day for consideration
arrives.
Since the adoption of the present
constitution something like twenty
two amendments have been adopted,
while a much larger number has been
rejected by the people.
The original document contains only
nineteen articles.
Now come members of the legisla-
ture with propositions to add approx
imately two dozen more amendments
to the constitution
Talking about patches. the famous
garments of Brian OHM will be
nothing in comparison with the con-
stitutiOn if, peTadventure, these prop
ositions are accepted by the people.
But would it not be the part of wis
dom to adopt an entirely new consti-
tuition and put a stop for some years,
at least, to this constant revamping
and recruiting Of the antequated gar
ments

Twenty-One Patches
In Nineteen Years.

The following from the Jacksonville
Times Union contains statistics which
The Journal did not have at hand
when speaking along the same line a
few days ago. The data is of suffi-
cient interest and Importance to place
before our readers:
The total cost Of advertising amend
ments to the state constitution since
1887, the Tallahassee Morning News
says, has been $43,110, and the other
expenses attending the submission Of
the proposed amendments to the peo-
pie would bring the total sum to about
S55, 900. OF the different amendments
offered to the voters since the adop-
ton of the constitution, twenty-one
have been adopted. Twenty-one
patches in nineteen years is a pretty
severe strain on the texture of the
constitution-ShowS that it has not
stood wear very well. The first
amendment was adopted by popular
vote in 1890, or four years after the
constitution had been ratified at a
general election. If a convention
could be called that could produce
tconstitution warranted to give salts
faction to the people and their rep
TeSentativeS for twenty, or even ten,
years, there would be economy in it.
As the years pass an increasing num-
Der of amendments viii be offered at
a cost of several thousand dollars at
each biennial election. Obviously,
new constitution would be cheaper
and more satisfactory.
From reports received to date it
has been impossible to keep up with
the total number of proposed amend
ments introduced or proposed to be
introduced during the present session
of the legislature. Suffice it to say
that their name, like that of the evil
spirits inhabiting the home of the I'M
fortunate man described in the Bible,
is legion" How many of them will
be understood by the. people and final
ly adopted; no matter how necessary
they may be? And their submission
is going to cost a great deal of money.
No sensible man can doubt that
the cost of a convention composed of
competent representatives would be
one of the most economical and bene-
fetal investments the state could make
for the alteration Of its antequated
organic law wherever necessary to
meet the requirements of rapidly de-
veloping economical conditions.
