MGsGGitasaS a a.ss Malaria.

A great deal of annoyance and
disease could be prevented by gen.
eral reading of Farmers Bulletin
450, just issued by the United States
Department Of Agriculture. In it
DR.. L. O. Howard, chief Of the Bu-
reau of Entomology, makes a brief
and lucid summary of what is known
about mosquitoes and malaria. How
effective modern methods are shown
by the fact that in Italy the malaria
rate has been reduced from 65 or 70
per cent to only 4. Along the Ital-
ian railroads the thorough screening
of all habitations and wearing of
wells and gloves when out Of doors
after sundown led to a reduction to
IA per cent, but there it held. It
was by the systematic use of quinine
that the further reduction in the
per centage to was affected. Qui-
nine is distributed free to all labor
ers and to the poor in malarious lo-
calities. 1t is prepared with char
coal and other confectionery, which
even children are easily induced to
take. DR.. Howard notes the COM
forting fact that whereas in most
parts of the world where anti-mos-
quito measures have been under
taken on large scale the work has
been done with the direct end of
doing away with mosquito-borne
disease, in the United States the
work is almost always done simply
to rid the community from a great
nuisance. There are, however,
many malarial regions, including
the lands of the Delta region of the
Mississippi-the richest in the whole
world-which cannot be properly
utilized as long as mosquitoes are
allowed to have their own way

Glher Moons Than Ours.

There are in all twenty-five moons
besides our queen of night, Mars
having two, Jupiter eight, Saturn
ten, Uranus four and Neptune one.
Of course, new lunar additions are
likely to be discovered at any time,
although it is improbable that Mer-
curry and Venus have any satellites
or that Mars has any more than two.
The two known moons Of Mars are,
indeed, very minute, neither being
over fifty miles in diameter. On
the other hand, Jupiter's first four
satellites, as we'll as Ganymede, are
each larger than Queen Lunar,
Ganymede having a diameter Of
about 8, 500 miles. Titan, or Saturn,
possesses diameter approximating
1900 miles, while that Of Neptune's S
sole satellite is about 2,000 miles.
AS respects our own moon, Queen
Luna has ne-forty-ninth the size
and ore-eighty-first the weight of
our earth. Luna's distance from US
varies a good deal, from 221 ZOO
miles to $4,000 miles. Her mean
or average distance is about 238.0CO
miles.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

CfCp Outlook GOOD.

The farming class is the largest
and the most important class of
business men in the world, and we
rejoice with them in the splendid
crop outlook. Some forms OIL in
dustrial prosperity may hang upon
the decisions Of a stern bench Of
judges, but the farmer neither fears
the judicial form nor courts the ju-
dicial smile. The Sherman law has
no terrors for him when he gazes
over the golden harvest fields and
the luxuriant corn and cotton fields.
The size Of his harvest does not de-
pend upon the Interpretation of
the obscure wording Of musty
statutes. The corn may grow as tall
as it pleases without any danger
that it will be prosecuted for re-
straint of trade.
In this connection the June crop
report of the department Of agri-
culture contains matter for general
rejoicing, for it foreshadows the
greatest wheat crop this country has
ever seen, a splendid corn crop and
a bountiful harvest generally.
Bumper crops, besides furnishing
assurance that the country is in no
danger Of famine, help in the main
tenance of confidence, and, there
fore. are direct factor in the bust
ness situation, irrespective of the
range of prices in the wheat pit

Ten Things to do In Typhoid Fever.

1. In all cases Of typhoid, how
ever mild, the patient should remain
in bed. The course Of the disease
may be greatly shortened by keep
ing the patient in a PROSTATE posi-
ton.
2. The vessels used in the sick
room should be thoroughly scalded
after use.
3. All food utensils should be
washed and scalded separately be-
fore placing with dishes used by the
family.
4. Bed linens, towels, wearing
apparel, should be plunged into boil
ing water or water containing a
strong solution of carbolic acid be-
fore they are washed.
5. Chloride of lime, which can be
bought by dozen cans, or bichloride
of mercury, are safe disinfectants
for vessels used in the sick room.
6. The caretaker should cleanse
her hands with disinfectant (car-
bolic acid, creolin, bichloride of mer-
cury), before taking food.
7. Treat all excreta from patient
with disinfectant of sufficient
strength that all typhoid germs may
be killed before removing from the
sick room.
s. Bury all excreta from typhoid
patient.
9. Keep all flies from the sick
room.
10. Write to your State Board OF
Health for literature upon the care
and treatment Of typhoid fever

Violated Cattle Law.

The state department Of agricul
ture has taken much interest in a
case tried in Warren county court
last week. W. A. Connell, of that
county, paid no attention to the cat
tie quarantine but moved cattle in
and out at will. He was indicted
and fined S2O1 and costs by Judge
Carter, Of the superior court. In
stamping out the fever tick the de-
partment of agriculture, aided by
the United States department is do
ing one of the most important things
it can do for the people of the state.
They should have the hearty cooper
alton Of all farmers. for the farmer
is directly benefited. The Warren
case is an object lesso n for those who
will not obey the law. Wake county,
thanks to the efforts of the depart
rnent experts, is out of the quaran-
tine district now.-Raleigh Times.

SUBSTITUTE FOR OPIUM.
Deadly Indian Weed That Is Cheap and
can Easily be Struggled.

The Indian weed is being largely
imported into Indo- China at the
present moment, says our informant,
who holds high position in the mil
itary world. He has given us sprig
or two Of the hemp plant, which OBJ
viousiy lends itself to the use of the
smugglers. With first hand knowl-
edge Of this subject he declared this
weed more pernicious than opium
OR alcohol, will in the near future
take the place of opium in the far
East.
1t is of small bulk this deadly
weed, is cheap in comparison with
its elder brother, opium, and can be
smuggled easily. The opium con-
viction does not, so far as we know.
take account of the danger which
threatens from the importation Of
this drug.
The French authorities in Indo-
China absolutely prohibit the hemp
plant, but nevertheless. it is being
taken into the country in ever in
creasing quantities. 1t can be used
as a drink, can be smoked or chewed;
the physical and mental effects are
deadly.
We have not been able to ascer-
tain as yet whether this noxious drug
has made its appearance in Hong
Kong. but we take this opportunity
Of calling the attention of the au-
thorities to the danger Of its doing
so. 1t is a danger that should exer-
else the thoughts of The Legislative
council.
This noxious weed is smoked much
by the lowest class Of natives in
South Africa, where it is known
under the name Of dahgha and
causes many crimes, the Bushmcn
and Hottentots running amuck when
saturated with its hellish Effects

Boys in The Printing Office.

If boys must work and earn wages
there are few places better than the
printing office. Some Of the great
est men the world has produced OBJ
tanned the best part Of their educa-
ton while boys in printing offices.
But the printing office is no place
for the boy without brains or ambi-
ton, nor for a dolt, who simply de-
sires to go there because the work
is light, or seems light. It is an ex-
cellent place for an observing, think
ing and studiously inclined boy.
There are many printing offices
where men will not be bothered with
boys and will not give advice or in
struction to apprentices or to young
workers, whose competition they
fear. In some respects boy is in
luck who has to go to reformatory,
especially a boy who wants to learn
the printing trade, as in most of the
state reformatories for boys there
are printing Offices where the boys
are taught the printing business

KING GEORGE v and QUEEN MARY.
They We're Crowned Today Amid I'm
posing Ceremonies.

London, June 23.-King George V.
and Queen Mary were crowned to-
day in Westminster Abbey. The
crown was placed on the kings head
by the archbishop of Canterbury.
They drove through the streets to
Abbey, cheered by hundreds of thous-
ands of spectators. Drizzling rain
and showers marred the day some
what.
The ceremony was passed off ac-
cording to schedule. Modern Lon
don has never known such day of
excitement, all business was suspen-
ded. The procession from Bucking-
ham Palace was picturesque. The
King and Queen were escorted by
Royal Life Guards, Lord Roberts,
Lord Kitchener and hundreds of
peers and nobility.
Hon. John Hays Hammond, the
United States representative, occu-
pied prominent position in the pro-
cession. When the king and queen
arrived at the Abbey they were met
at the west door by the great officers
of state and escorted to the nave,
where the oath was taken. Charles
P. Taft and j. P. Morgan occupied
seats with the diplomatic corps.

A WIDOW Two DAYS.
UDSeemIy Haste Shown by Georgia
Couple.

Swainsboro, Ca, June 24.-Eman-
uel county, Georgia, has residing in
its borders couple whose lugubri-
Gus courtship is without a parallel
in the whole United States. This
couple is Mr.. and Mrs. Robert S.
Mcdaniel. Mrs. Mcdaniel was the
wife Of Mr.. j. j. Sewell, a promi-
nent farmer in this county, three
days before she became Mrs. Nc
Daniel, and the circumstances sur
rounding her unusual marriage are
interesting. Mr.. and Mrs. J. J.
Sewell owned a nice little farm near
Swainsboro. Together they had
bought, and by thrift, economy and
hard labor, had paid the purchase
price of the farm. To them six chill
dren had been born and no happier
household could be found.
Mr.. Sewell, however, fell i'll and
his wife watched over him and nurs-
ed him with the loving care that a
faithful wife usually bestows. On
Tuesday death removed her husband
and on Wednesday she followed his
remains to the burying ground, clad
in the deepest habi!iments Of woe,
and saw her husbands body laid to
rest beside his first wife. She was
almost overcome with grief and
would not be comforted, until Mr..
Mcdaniel, a young man and a friend
of her dead husband and herself,
spoke a few words to her. This
seemed to soothe her and together
they left the cemetery.
The next day, Thursday, they ap-
peared together in Swainsboro and
together visited the ordinary's Office
where Judge John R. Youman issued
to Robert S. Mcdaniel and Alice
Sewell a marriage license, she giving
her age as thirty-one and he putting
his down as twenty six. A local
magistrate was then sought and
they were married.
1t is said that when Mcdaniel ap-
preached Mrs. Sewell she declared
that life was not worth living since
she had lost her protector McDan-
iel asked her to live for his sake and
promaseu tnaC he W ou1d love and pro-
tect her. To this she consented but
interposed some slight objection to
marrying so soon after her husband S
death. Mcdaniel was able to prove
to her satisfaction that her husband
was as dead as he would ever be, as
he expressed it, and the marriage
resulted.
Mcdaniel is said to have moved
here from somewhere near Joplin,
Missouri.

MUST BE CHANGED,
How A Business Man Would Run The
Government.

Now, what could and would busi-
ness man with power to conduct the
! government do? He would put the
army and navy on al efficient and
economical footing; he would allow
only such appropriations for rivers
and harbors as are necessary under
some systematic plan; the public
building grab would have to cease;
all manner Of expenditures for the
mere qualification OF the people and
for the purpose of le-electing men
to congress would TO longer be tol-
Grated.
He would take the post office out
Of politics, make it a business institu-
ton, utilize the organization to carry
the mails at a profit and make the
institution not only self-sustaining
but a money making branch of the
government. Government officials
would not be allowed to spend their
vacations travelling at home and
abroad at the public expense. Jun
kets" Of federal and congressional
officers would be stopped. Useless
commissions, courts, boards and
other devices creating places for
shelved statesmen would be abolish
ed. Neither sentimental nor politi-
cal consideration would have place
in government if a business man
conducted it.
Such business man is a dream,
but business methods dealing with
the problem need not be. We can
not place our fiscal affairs in the
hands of one man with absolute
power, but we could apply business
methods to the government. Instead
Of trying to economic by spending
a few hundred thousand dollars en-
deavoring to find where few clerks
and messengers can be spared, eff
forts should be directed at the real
extravaganza found in the appropri-
alton bill. Thus the imaginary busi-
ness man must be the people them
selves. Public sentiment must be
changed.-Arthur Wallace Dunn, in
Worlds Word.

Waste of Bad Roads.

DR.. j. H. Ellington, of Sandy
Ridge, was in Danbury Monday, and
dropped in to see the Reporter. He
is among those Of the county who
favor better roads, and told the Re-
porter that he was willing to be
taxed to get them. DR.. Ellington
said he recently had the pleasure of
driving over some of Guilford coun-
tvs excellent macadam roads and
that he enjoyed it very much. AS
an instance of the disadvantage Of
our bad roads be cited case near
his home where on account Of the
dreadful roads a man who owned
only one-horse team had to hire his
crop Of tobacco hauled to market
with two horses, which cost him
nine dollars. DR.. Ellington stated
that the extra cost this man was put
90 OH accoun. OI Dad rot.as Wou.d
have paid his road tax for many
years to come.
Another citizen from the same
section stated that he recently hired
a team to go to market, twelve miles
away, paying $3.50 per day for the
team. 1t required two days to make
the trip of only "a miles, making
the team cost him $500, and he did
we'll to pull 1900 pounds through
the mud With good roads the trip
would have cost him only So. so and
one day Of his time, and he would
have hauled 2,400 pounds. That is
paying bad roads tax at a high rate.
