The Chautauqua Successful.

The tenth annual session of the
Canton Chautauqua closed last Sun
day evening, with the announcement
from the platform by Prof. Lawrence
that all expenses had been met and a
surplus of more than 300 was In the
hands of Treasurer Z. l.. Wendt.
This result was very gratifying con
sidering previous failures, but this
years program was managed by the
business men of the city, who con
tributed time and labor for the sue
cess of the program free of all ex-
pense. The talent was all good, some
exceedingly good, and the program
was carried out very successfully,
making it a social, intellectual and
financial success, as well as elevating,
instructive and amusing. The Can
ton Chautauqua will continue under
the guidance of the business men of
Canton, which means success.
The business men of this city WHO
assumed responsibility and the man
agement Of the Chautauqua have
demonstrated what can be done when
business methods are applied. The
platform was under the care of Rev.
Buriff, Rev. Green and Prof. Law
renee, and the ticket Office vas in
charge Of E. l.. Wendt assisted by
several volunteers, and the ticket
collectors were all business men who
donated their time, and all united in
making the ten days attraction both
pleasant and entertaining. The
Chautauqua is a fixture for Canton
and will be hereafter managed by
those who have always tried to make
Canton a good town and provide en-
t%ertainment for the public.
One of the best amusement features
o f~the Chautauqua. was the motion
pictures Of Campbell & Hamilton,
the local artists who manage the Ly-
ric show house. Mr.. Hamilton han
died the machine to perfection and
Mr.. Campbell announced the details.
There Is some talk of organizing a
grand chorus for the Chautauqua next
year, and it car be accomplished as
there is plenty of home talent.

To Keep Free of Flies.

"Kill the first fly" Considering
that one female fly can bring into
being several millions of the pest in
one summer, it would seem a good
job to kill that first one.
If the first and it's immediate
followers are let live and the house
becomes overrun, there are several
suggestions for Kidding the rooms of
them. One course, taken from the
south where mosquitoes are a public
menace, is to burn pyrethrum powder
in a room. This benumbs the flies
and they fall to the floor and can be
swept out. The trouble with this is
that pyrethrum powder is not sold at
many drug stores in the north.
From the American Civic Associa
tion at Washington comes this hint:
Drop twenty drops of carbolic acid on
a hot iron; the vapor kills the flies.
Sticky fly paper has both good and
bad qualities. 1t does trap some flies.
But those that get their feet coated
with the adhesive matter are likely
to return to their filth heaps prepared
to carry back to the house added
quantities of disease-bearing matter
sticking to their feet. Fly traps do
their part but DR.. G. ST. Clair Drake
of the Chicago health department says
the insects are cautious"
"The flies soon learn to be wary Of
traps" DR.. Drake says. "Those
that have had any experience with
them cannot be caught, and shortly a
tribe of flies too shrewd to be trapped
might be evolved. The insects also
avoid the sticky fly paper after one
experience. They are crafty little
fellows and the instinct of life is as
strong as in many superior beings"
Various poisons are suggested, the
best Of which, the doctors say, is
formalin in water. Put a spoonful OF
the chemical into half a cut Of water
and leave it exposed in the room and
the flies will do the rest.
In passing it Is worthy Of note that
this insect, with its love for odors
that offend the nostrils of man, has
strong aversion for scents which the
human likes. This has given a hint
for still an other prevention, of minor
worth. Aromatic plants in rooms
and at windows act as repulsives.
Such plants, then have a double
value in sick rooms: they are pleasing
to the sufferer and discourage the
fly that, with evil purpose, looks
through the open window. From

The Canton race meet this year will
be the finest ever witnessed in the
Sioux Valley and equal to anything
ever seen in the state. The Canton
races are the last on the circuit,
therefore every horseman will be at
liberty to make the closing event the
fastest of the season, for money and
records, and WI expect to see a new and
fast record for the state posted the
last day. The best purse is $3.50, and
the farmer boys have two C worth
$50 each.

excitement the auto races each day,

PBOBLEM FOR THE DOC
TOR.

The medical fraternity is awaken
ing TO the fact that, while it has
been doing wanders for the p~reserya-
ton Of infants, the other end of the
candle Of human life has been burn
ing away at a great rate, unnoticed,
comparatively.
In the last decade medical science
has learned how to save d~iphtheritic
children, reduced the mortality from
typhoid fever, s~carlatina and pneu-
monia nearly so per cent, from tnber-
calosis nearly So per cent, from spi-
nal meningitis 40 per cent and almost
e~radicated yellow fever.
So much for the children, but
what Of the old-those above so
years? The slaughter of our inno-
cents has been checked, but the stat
isticians show that the present gen
GRAFTON has far more terror for men
and women who have reached matur-
itY. Medical science has, with Won
derful success, combatted the acute
infections that are destructive main
" to early life, while chronic dis
orders have. worked their will on the
mature.
Human life after SO years Of age
has been shortening at an alarming
rate. Professor Fisher, the econom-
ist Of Yale says that an ideally
healthy man IS rarely, if ever found,
and it is q matter of common obser-
walton that when men get to be 30 on
thereabouts, each has his particular
ailment, or crouch genuine OF
hypOchrcndriacal, the latter being in
fact a chronic mental disorder.
Most of the chronic disorders Of
mature life are due to arrangement
ii the intricate processes involved in
the building up and breaking up Of
the human body. 1t is a matter Of
food and feeding.
When we get to be millionaires OF
thereabouts, along toward so years
of age, we eschew the palmer, simp-
lar. more necessary viands, and go in
for meat three times a day. Not
only that, we wash our food down
with gulps of tea. coffee Or water.
Our aristocratic aIimentary canals be-
come mere breeding tubes for putre-
factive bacteria. Some other parts
Of the human machine, being, conse-
qpently, called upon for more than
its share of work, breaks down, and

Grand Coteau

April l3.-On Wednesday the stu
dents Of the Junior Academic Glass
presented to the faculty, students
and an ~appreciative audience an en-
tertainment Of high and literary
character.
The entertainment was an eloquent
exhibition of the progress made by
the pupils during their sojourn at
the College and gives a cheering
earnest of the culture which they
will carry with them On their depart
ure Of these Academic halls.
The theme chosen, "Eyangeline,
was most appropriate for a college
which has just been reared in the
heart Of that Acadia so sweetly sung
Of By Longfellow. In the critical
and analytical Interpretation, no less
than in the elocutionary rendition of
the selections, the boys gave evidence
OF careful training. In the presence
Of so much general excellence it
would be invidious to single out any
particular boy for individual praise.
Not the least interesting number
on the programme was the Latin
specimen of class work. In baseball
p~arlance, questions were pitched at
the youngsters in every conceivable
curve, but they showed that they
were on to the curves and in The ma
jority Of cases scored.
in the course Of the entertainment
the st Charles College brass band
rendered q choice programme of Sc
lections. The ensemble and technique
with which the members played is a
tribute to their interchangeable leader
who from absolutely raw material has
built up in six months a band that
any college might well be proud of.
At the conclusion Of the entertain
ment Very Rev. Father Maring adj
dressed the assembly. He eongratu-
lated the boys on the excellence Of
the showing they had made and hoped
that their future efforts would be on
a par with this their first in the new
