School Children and Cattle.

The school superintendent of large
Eastern city who received a circular
letter from the National League of
Medical Freedom asking him to oppose
medical inspection of school children,
gave as one of the reasons why he
was in favor of such inspection, that,
during one year, 400 cases of head lice
among children in his schools were
discovered and that it was necessary
In some cases actually to force the
parents to allow their children to have

a condition Is not a pleasant topic for

Kentucky states that government. in
spectors found ten cattle shipped from
Kentucky to New York which were
infected with itch. The Journal says;
THE government inspectors did not
wait to examine the federal constitu-
ton. They did not consider that the
personal liberties Of the cattle were
being infringed on. They did not stop
to bubble about state rights. They
asked at once what steps Kentucky
would take to stamp out the disease.
They notified the state authorities that
unless prompt measures were taken to
prevent the further shipment OF in
fected cattle, Daviess county would be
quarantined. Yet no representative of
the National League of Medical Free.
dom has championed the cause Of
these prosecuted cattle nor has any
branch of this society been organized by
the Daviess county COWS. Their cause
has not even been championed in a
speech in the United States senate.
The right of the federal government to
protect the livestock of the country
against infection is conceded by all.
Yet school inspection, the only means
OF protecting children against like con-
ditions. is attacked as an unwarranted
invasion of personal liberty

is THE TRASH CAN A GOOD OR
A BAD THING?

In the Civic League department of
last Saturdays Eagle one of the arti-
cles opened with the somewhat sur
prising statement: The much talked
of trash can, instead of helping to
make Main street model of neatness
for the rest of the town to follow, as
its promoters thought it would do,
seems to be working in just the op-
posite direction" The writer proceeds
to give reason for this opinion in
these words: Sometimes the can is
full and papers and trash are piled Oh
the ground around it. The man who
takes up the trash simply empties the
can and leaves the rest for the wind
to scatter"
When Street Commissioner Burgers
attention was called to this subject
he said, in substance: The trash cans
are intended for the ordinary sweep
ings of the stores only, and they have
sufficient capacity for these. They
were not intended as receptacles for
boxes, whether of wood, tin or paper,
or for other bulky refuse. The trouble
is, some of the merchants, especially
the dry goods men, allow their janitors

to dump into the trash cans the boxes
and cases from which their merchan-
disc has been unpacked. Sometimes
the can is filed with these boxes SO
that there is no room for the sweep
ings and 1t Is left on the outside, to
be scattered by the winds, as the COM
plainant says. 1t is not customary, and
is unreasonable to expect the city to
pay for the removal of boxes and other
bulky objects. The merchants should
dispose of such things.
Mr.. Burger added that it might be
necessary for the city council to take
some action to prevent the abuse of
the trash cans in the manner COM
planned of. He said If the city had to
pay for such things as the carting
away of goods boxes there would not
be enough money left for other neces-
sary purposes.
From the above, the conclusion is
easily deduced that the trash can is
good or bad thing, according to
it is properly used or abused.

Apropos to John Days weather
signals: About ten years ago d. B.
Hoornbeek, who has since inherited
fortune and now lives at Elgin, ILL.,,
was appointed agent for the bureau
at Alpine. He set up his pole and
hoisted his signals, but almost every
day the weather proved to be almost
the opposite of what the flags indi-
Gated. This went on for about two
weeks, or until Hoornbeek got so tired
OF the unmerciful guying of the citi-
zens that he threw up the sponge.
Here's hoping that John may inherit
a fortune and have good luck with his
weather signals.
