STATE Drainage Meeting

ossS OidllldSc MeeIiNx
The 1910 annual meeting a.
the Iowa State Drainage Associi-
alton will be held in Fort Dodge
February 18th and 18th.
Men who are thoroughly pos
ted on drainage subjects will
speak. The program will be
more varied and more interest
ing this year than that of any
former meeting. Among the
prominent speakers are Prof. A.
Marston, Mr.. p. C. Rood, Prof.
W. H. Stevenson, Hon. Henry
Young, Mr.. j. z. Adams and
Prof. j. 7. Stewart; other we'll
known drainage experts will
discuss problems of great in
terest to all who have to do
with the drainage of the wet,
lands of Iowa.
A strong feature of the
meeting will be a series of talks
by several Of the best posted
County Supervisors in northern
Iowa.
In addition the subject of fl
nancing drainage districts will
be handled by men who know
all of the ms and outs of this
important phase of the drain
age problem.
VIM James sidis, a 1o-year-
old student at Harvard, is a
mathematical genius. Last
week he lectured to gray-hair-
ed old professors and told them
many things they did not know
and which they had difficulty
to understand. He said things
like this: "The fourth dimen-
sional space is the Euclidian
space with one more dimension
added on. The fourth dimen-
sional solid is called a configur-
alton and is formed by project
ing on a line perpendicular to
the lines of the third dimen-
sional figure so constructed is
called a polyhedrogon. 1t is
possible to construct with this
theorem a figure of lO3 diner
|sional sides called the hecaton-
icocehedrigon, and also a figure
with 600 sides called the sexi-
|cocehedrigon."

OsaWatomie, famed in Kan

the Usage river and the Potta-

these streams. In the early
days two "s'ss" were frequent
y used in it's spelling, but the
improperly of their use was
shown and pointed out by the
school teachers by simply ex-
planning the words derivation.
The name of PottaWatomie,
though, had about ten different
spal!lngs, according to an old
settler of that community.
"The tribe of Indians" he said,

extreme suppleness and mobility In
the feet and toes, and the prehensive
function is still further encouraged by
the fact that the japanese who adhere
to the ancient customs wear forked
stockings and dispense with the infleI-
ible and constraining European shoe.
Chinese postmen navigate their boats
lying down, steering with their hands
and rowing with their feet. The oar
is held between the big toe and the
others. The natives frequently use
their feet to collect and to pick up
small objects lying on the ground, and
sometimes even catch mice with their
toes. NJ. Lannelongue holds that the
yellow races. who are able to use their
feet somewhat as the elephant uses
his trunk or the monkey his tail, enjoy
a very considerable advantage in the
everlasting struggle for existence over
the less fortunate Caucasians, who are
a BILE to employ their feet only for loco
motion purposes.-Philadelph Ledger.

swallow.
This does more to spread typhoid
fever and cholera infantum and other
intestinal diseases than any other
cause.
Contact Brings Disease,
Disease attacks human beings only
when they are brought in contact with
it. For instance, you cannot get ty-
phoid fever unless you swallow the
germs Of typhoid, and you do not
swallow these germs unless they get
on the food you eat or In the liquids
you drink or on the glasses or cups
from which you drink.
Intestinal diseases are more frequent
whenever and wherever flies are most
abundant, and they and not the sum-
mer heat are the active agents Of it's
spread. NJ.
There is special danger when flies
drop into such fluid as milk. This
forms an ideal culture material for the
bacillus. A few germs washed from
the body of one fy may develop into
millions within a few hours, and the
person who drinks such milk viii re-
ceive large doses Of bacilh which
may later cause serious sickness.
Strike at the root of the evil. Dis
pose of waste materials In such a way
that the housedy cannot propagate, for
flies breed in horse manure, decaying
vegetables, dead animals and ali
kinds of filth. So look after the gar
bage cans, see that they are cleaned,
sprinkled with lime or kerosene oil
and closely covered.
Screen all windows and doors and
insist that your grocer, butcher, baker
and every one from whom you buy
foodstuffs does the same. and remem-
Der that a large percentage Of flies
breed in the stable.
There is more health in a well
screened house than in many q doc
tors visit
After you have cleaned up your own
premises inspect the neighborhood for
fly breeding places. Call the attention
of the owner to them and If he does
not remove them complain to the
board of health.
Keep flies away from the kitchen
Keep flies out of the dining room and
away from the sick, especially from
those i'll with contagious diseases.
Simple Means of Killing Flies.
To clear rooms of flies carbolic acid
may be used as follows: Heat a shov-
ell or any similar article and drop
thereon twenty drops of carbolic acid.
The vapor kills the flies.
A cheap and perfectly reliable fly
poison, one which is not dangerous to
human life, is bichromate of potash in
solution. Dissolve one dram, which
can be bought at any drug store, in
two ounces of water and add little
sugar. Put some of this solution In
shallow dishes and distribute them
about the house.
Sticky fly paper, traps and liquid poi
sons are among the things to use In

and this contamination the fly must
assiduously remove if its feet are to
act properly in supporting it on
slippery places. If this contamina-
don is too sticky to rub of the fly laps
it OF, and it then passes off in its ex-
creta.
The fly lays its eggs in the manure

A Custom Somewhat Common Among

A French savant, NJ. Lannelongue, in
a communication to the Paris Acad-
envy of Sciences maintains that among
the yellow races, the Chinese, the Jap
anese and the Malays. the foot is used
as an organ of prehension, like the
hand. to far greater extent than is
generally supposed. He says that while
in Tokyo he saw a young man sitting
in theater box grasping the rail with
his feet just as though they were hands,
ever and anon using his right foot to
scratch his left thigh. The fact that
the Japanese usually sit on their heels

and best is a solution Of formalin or
formaldehyde in water. A spoonful of
this liquid put into quarter OF pint
of water and exposed in the room will
be enough to kill all the flies.
To quickly clear the room where
there are many flies burn pyrethrum
