BOIL THE HOUSE FLY.

DIR. Howard, chief Of the United
States bureau of entomology, sug-
gests that it would be we'll to fight
typhoid fever by fighting the fly and
that the proper time to attack the fly
is before he is Matched. This is so
simple that we wonder We didn't think
of it before. DR.. Howard says that
one of the best ways of getting rid
of the musca domestica in embryo is
to boil him, not necessarily in oil, as
they used to do with the heretics, but
in good hot water poured over the
garbage can Or the manure pile
where the eggs of the fe
male are deposited. He says thai
an application of boiling water to the
garbage can or the manure pile
twice week will cut the progeny Of
the house fly SO short that it viii
make him feel like Robinson Crusoe
The suggestion is worth needing

PERKINS ON COMPETITION.

On the very day that George w.
Perkins was expected to deliver an
address before the Michigan College of
Mines at Houghton, Mich, he was
required to appear as witness be-
fore the congress committee on the
steel trust. But his address was read
and published broadcast in the press
of the country and has made deep
impression for it's radical position on
the great industrial and political prob
lem of the day.
His subject was, Wanted
A Constructive National Policy"
In even more emphatic Ian
guage than that recently used by
Chairman Gary of the steel trust and
by Attorney General Wickersham,
Perkins frankly assails the whole
competitive system which the Sher-
man law was passed to conserve. That
law he unsparingly condemns and
asserts that congressman who stand
for its literal enforcement stand for
the sweatshop and for child labor.
| Both these evils this multi-millionaire
and former Morgan partner declares
| to be the natural and inevitable out
come of competition-one of the argu.
ments used by socialists the world
over. But Perkins goes further and
/ in this formal written address charg
es that competition also causes un
employment, low wages and financial
panics. He says the country is suf
| fering from a dearth of statesmen
and deluge of politicians and con
| fesses that I'VE business men have
been at fault in many things, but in
none more than in our almost utter
neglect of public duty" He thinks
that we need a Moses to lead us out
of the wilderness with constructive
policy.
Now that the supreme court has
ruled that business may proceed ir
the light of reason, Perkins wants tt

, lay down our arms and enter the re

TEN REASONS FOR HOME BUYING

TEN REASONS FOR HOME BUYING
An Omaha trade publication gives
ten reasons for buying at home, all
Of them good ones-as follows:
/. Your home merchants can dupli-
cate the prices made by any respon-
sible concern anywhere on goods OF
equal quality, in the same quantities
and on the same basis of delivery and
payment.
2. You can examine your purchases
in the home stores and be assured
of satisfaction before investing your
money.
s. Your home merchants are al
ways ready and willing to make right
for any error or any defective article
purchased.
4. Your home merchants help sup
port. through direct and indirect tax
alton, your schools. churches, libra
ries and other public institutions.
5. Your home merchants help make
a good local market for everything
you have to sell, and that market
more than any other factor-gives
your land its present value.
6. Your home merchants are YOU
good friends, ever ready to extend
a helping hand in time of need.
Z. If this community is good enough
for you to live in and make youl
money in, tbs good enough to spend
it In
s. The best citizens in this com
munity are those who believe in ane
practice home patronage. Be one o
the best!
9. Merchants in the distant cit.
give you nothing valuable that thu
home merchants cannot, and will no
do for you many things the latter d.
gladly.
10. Every dollar kept in circulation
in this community helps increas,
property values. Every dollar sen
out of this community that could a
well be spent here binders the wheel
of progress and helps to build u
some other community at your ez
pense.

When she powders and rouges and

When she stops at the crossing to

when she wears the red sin that Is

Her soul in the scarlet and gaudy

Alone after revel, forsaken to crawl,

When she pinches her feet in pair

And squeezes her waist to a false

when she takes in the picture shows,

And catches a fellow to buy her the

When she toughens in language and

And walks the hot pavements OF

When she stands some lone night n

What does she think that her moth

When she goes from the house with

And naughty don't bother me. I'm

OF his visits here in connection with

aft His Own Successor

Waterloo Reporter: President
Taft is coming into his own
and will undoubtedly be his own
successor. He is growing, as he
should. in popular favor everywhere.
The people are beginning to under
stand him, know him, realize that he
possesses backbone and that he acts
regardless OF self consideration. For
long time conditions were such that
the adoption of public measures,
whether possessing merit or not, the
fault-finders not waiting to see, seem
ed to reflect seriously upon President
Taft. Out of these clouds of doubt
the bright sun now shines forth and
silhouetted against the beautiful sky
of complete success is big man in
stature and ability. In his right hand,
which is held aloft, that all may see,
are the acts of the greatest admins
tration the nation has ever witnessed.
Recounted they make pages of history
and briefly enumerated they include
the Canadian reciprocity agreement,
the general arbitration program,
(Which now embraces Great Britain,
France. Germany and the Neither
lands, with Japan apparently about
ready to respond to overtures), the
knowledge of conditions in Mexico
which prompted the taking of q
strong position in order to avert a
| serious situation between that coun-
try and ours, the successful prosecu-
ton of many trusts, the friendly and
successful Intervention in South
America to prevent a collision be-
tween two nations, the correction OF
corrupt practices at the port of New
York, and, in general, the rehabilita-
ton of the custom service, the expedi-
ton OF work on the Panama canal
the wiping out Of the postal deficit
the message to congress in support
! OF conservation measures, the appoint
ments to the supreme court, the es
! Enlistment of a postal savings bank
system, the successful advocacy of q
bill which brings the railroads more
nearly under government control, the
reorganization of the navy-these and
the earnest effort to have the con
gress readjust the tariff, ought to con
vince the people that the President
has been wisely and industriously and
courageously employed in projecting
and promoting measures for the pub
4 lie good.
4 And all OF this in two years time
i 1t is true that President Roosevelt ad
vocated many of the policies tina
President Taft has carried to sue
cessful termination. The difference
between the two men, and no refiec
, ton is intended, is that while the pre-
decessor had the happy faculty of ap
parently doing things he really neve
quite finished and in consequence,
never left any bad places. He stirred

success is now being garnered. In
fact the people are just finding out
that the wonderful presidential gran
airy labeled doing things contains a
most magnificent crop.
There are still a few people who
hold to the now exploded opinion that
President Taft, while a very good
man, was not or Is not fitted for the
duties of the high office he holds; that
he was perhaps more suitably quail
fed for judicial position of the high
est order. An analysis of the situa-
ton removes all doubt as to the Presi-
dents ability, GRASP of the public
problems) and as to his training in
such direction. He was graduated
from one Of the best American
schools and had inherited taste for
public affairs from a father who serv
ed with distinction in the cabinet and
diplomatic corps, he has been the
solicitor-general, a judge, the COVER
nor-general of the Philippines and sec
rotary of war. He performed all the
duties of these several offices with
distinguished credit to himself and
his record in the Philippines aas
rarely ever been approached by the
most able leaders of the nation in any
like capacity. His education, his fund
of experience. coupled with great nat
ural ability, has qualified and fitted
him most thoroughly for the position
he now holds and to which he will
again be returned. The public is quick
to find fault, slow to extol virtue, but
in the Presidents case the tide of
approval is fast turning and the real
worth of the man is coming to the
surface.
President Taft turned things over
in his own state, (Ohio) wrested con-
troll from Cox, Foraker and Dick,
purifying and cleaning up, and for a
time it looked as though it was all
over with him in the Buckeye state
! Yet the good accomplished is now
bearing fruit, the censure Is giving
way to praise and commentator, and
Ohio will give the native son a larg-
er plurality than it dio in 1908 is the
/ prediction of those posted and who
know whereof they speak.
Up in the New England states with
the old time Republicans in absolute
control the thought of Taft being
hardly possibility six months ago
was not entertained. Today Rhode
| Island and Delaware. the two smallest
states in the union, are solidiy for him
and very encouraging reports come
from that section.
i Some of us did not agree with the
President on the Canadian reciprocity
pact matter. Indeed the Reporter does
not now because it thinks the measure
will be Injurious to Iowa, purely
agricultural state, and on the whole
OF more benefit to Canada than to the
United States. Notwithstanding this
difference of opinion the Reporter is
for Taft because it likes a man OF
} ability and courage, President that
acts, one that hews to the line, let
the chips fall where they may, Re
} publican on every occasion an worth
} two Democratic aspir .nts even on the
) reciprocity matter. The people OF
Iowa will be for Taft because they
: like him. admire him, believe in him
, and the party he represents.
