A HEALTH HINT.
Carriers of Disease.

Mosquitoes and flies are recog-
nized carriers Of certain infectious
diseases. For this reason war of
determination must be waged
against these dangerous little
pests. This can be most effectu-
ally carried on by destroying or
abolishing the places where they
breed.
AS is we'll known, stagnant
ponds, cesspools, rain barrels and
low lying moist grounds are breed
ing places for mosquitoes. Flies
breed mainly in manure piles and
garbage cans and garbage dumps.
The abolition, then, Of the places
and of the conditions under which
flies and mosquitoes are propa-
gated will mean their extermina-
ton.
Meanwhile, until this can be ac-
complished, protect your home by
carefully screening all doors and
windows. And be sure to get
them in early before ''fly time"
gets here. In our next issue we
will tell of ways to destroy both
flies and mosquitoes.

RAILROADS TO MAKE WAR
ON TRACK TRESPASSERS
Alarming Death Roll Leads tC
Demand for Strict Laws.

T~respassing OF railroad property In
violation of the law has been respon-
sibie for the deaths of 47,416 persons
in the United States In the last ten
years. In the same period more than
1000 ~trespassers were injured.
1t Is in view of these facts that many
of the important railroads have re-
doubled their efforts to obtain In this
country that rigid enforcement of the
law against t~respassing which in Eng
land has reduced the practise-and ac-
cidents to trespassers-to a minimum.
The number killed while trespassing
has been increasing every year. In
1898, according to the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission reports, 4,063 tres
passers lost their lives. Five years
later the number was 5000, and In 1907,
the number killed was 5,612-more
than fifteen a day.
Figures compiled by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad alone show thai Dc;
trespassers lost their lives on that
SYSTEMS lines in 1899; ISL were killed
in 1904: while In 1907 the number
reached 915.

BEAVERS DAMS WORK
HAVOC IN SUSSEX COUNTY

BRANCHyILLE. Oct. 11.-Beavers
have become so numerous In the
streams in Sussex county because oil
the protection which they enjoy under
the game law that they have built
dams which are doing damage amount
ing 70 thousands of dollars on the low
lands bordering those streams. Farm
ers and Others who have suffered loss
have appealed to the State Game Com
mission to permit them to protect their
interests by tearing down the dams
and killing the beavers.
The overflow from one of the dams
caused a flood which ruined a crop of
hay on the old Cooper Hewitt farm.

LIKE HUMAN BEINGS.

TT ERE Is a pretty bird story, told by
Crockett McElroy in Outlook
" Magazine, that illustrates the
beautiful ways of birdlife, IL one only
took the pains to observe their ways
closely. The story liz here reproduced
for the benefit of Uncle Jacks little
friends. Mr.. McElroy says:
my attention was attracted one day
to the actions OF two graybirds on the
lawn before me. They were feasting on
a crumb of bread. The male bird would
pick off small pieces and drop them in
to the upturned mouth of the female
bird. After each tiny morsel was swal-
lowed they would chirp and hop about
a little, then the feeding would be re-
sumed.
THE male bird did not eat any Of the
crumbs, nor did the female bird pick up
any for herself. The male bird was de-
lighted with the pleasure afforded him
in catering to his mate, and she grace
fully manifested her appreciation of his
kindness.
II have never seen a more beautiful
illustration of self-sacri1ce, love and
devotion; nor had l ever seen generos-
ity accepted for loves sweet sake in a
more becoming inner
II was charmed by the beautiful love
lesson being acted by the happy little
birds. and said to myself: How pretty.
How much like human beings"
This reflection was hardly impressed

PROVOST POISONED
BEER THAT CAUSED
DEATH, SAY POLICE
WeDb's Story Upholds New The
Dry, but Paterson Mystery
Is Still UnsOlyed.

> PATERSON. Oct. 11.-While officers
were searching Monroe. N. Y, and its
vicinity for Marcus Webb, husband of
: Mrs. Mary Webb, one of the victims of
the bottled beer that killed Edward
Provost. at 40 Butler street, last Mon
day. the mar was within 800 yards OF
the local police headquarters. Not until
late Saturday. however, was he ar
rested.
Webb was put through a severe ex-
animation by detectives, but strenu-
ously denied any knowledge of the poi
soning. Accounting for his failure to
show up when the newspapers said ne
was wanted, Webb insisted he Is not in
the habit of reading the papers, and
knew nothing of the crime until ar
rested.
He admitted meeting his wife Sunday
and Monday afternoon, and also cor
roborated his wife's story that they had
quarreled bitterly. but had finally
parted on good terms. The police say
Webb's story and corroborative EVIL
dence they possess. strengthens their
latest theory that Provost himself poi
soned the beer.
What cannot be accounted for is the
fact that Mrs. Webb, who is still held
at the hospital, contradicted herself re-
peatedly in telling the story of her
movements. She made no mention of
the fact that she had met her husband,
but said she had been at the home Of n
cousin. When confronted with the cou-
sin she weakly admitted she had told
an untruth, but gave no reason. What
is puzzling everyone is why the woman
should resort to f~alsehood, unless she
had knowledge of the murder and was
trying to shield the culprit.
