CLEAN HOUSE AL AT ONCE
Best Way If Family Can Be 5anIshet
Hints on the Spring
Ordeal.

'The easiest way TO clean house Is
to do it all at once, turning every
thing upside down, having all carpets
taken up at the same time. all the
windows washed in succession. all tho
paint scrubbed in one piece OF work.
If the family can be banished, this
plan may be followed, but when the
ordinary business Of the home has to
go on. such drastic measures should
never be practiced. The house should
! be cleaned a room at time, but be-
fore going to these make an attack

I INDIANAPOLIS TND.-Here is a
! pretty kettle of fish. The ofices
of the county clerks in Indiana are
being filed to overlooking with the
heads of dead crows. and the result is
not pleasing to the sense of smell. to
say the least. Came about this way:
. At the last session Of the legislature
the farmers Of the state succeeded in
having law enacted which placed q
bounty of ten cents upon the head Of
every crow. The farmers argued that
the crows destroyed much of their
crops by eating the seeds after they
were scattered on the ground and
were nuisance IN general. Every
body thought 1t would be a good
scheme to abolish the pest by killing
OF a large number of the prolific
crows And so 1t came to pass that
the law was enacted and most every
body thought the question was solved
at once and fer all time.
But it wasn't. The county clerks
are the sufferers and complainants

One of Governor Fcss's old 'Massa-

other day one Of his early defeats in
politics. "well, there were some COM
pensating features in the hght." said
the governor. Reminds me of the
old farmer out in Iowa A live stock
dealer arrived In town and bought all
the hogs in the vicinity except from
one old fellow. who held out for a
higher price than the dealer was will
ing to give. The old man said he'd
rather drive his hogs over the road to
Chicago than accept the price offered
by the dealer. He did drive his hogs
over the road. or course. they lost
weight, and in addition to that. when
he got to Chicago the bottom had
dropped out Of the market. and he had
to sell bis hogs for a great deal less
than he could have disposed of them
for at home. HIS neighbors gleefully
awaited his return home. and when no
stepped OF the train they began to
josh him about his poor trade. He
listened for a while and then said:
well, there's this advantage had
over you fellows: ! had the company

Roman Campagna without qrinine.
They retired at sunset to a mosquito
proof hut, with double doors and win
dows of wire net. and they did not
leave until sunrise. The fact that
they remained immune while the at
tendants, sleeping outside contracted
malaria. confirmed the belief that the
mosquitoes were responsible. But
how did they carry the disease? At
first 1t was thought to be by water.
To settle the question live mos
quitoes, which had bitten infected
peasants, were sent home, and two
members of the school submitted to
be bitten by them. They both went
down. with malaria. Again, how did
the mosquitoes transmit the germ?
BY cutting sections of the proboscis
the malarious parasite was found; 1t
breaks through the skin of the pro-
boscis and is transmitted at the time
of the sting. From the first conjec-
ture to the final proof was a series Of
careful experiments. ending with the
slicing Of the mosquitoes proboscis:
