possibility of the bedbug convey
ing relapsing fever, typhoid and
leprosy, has been suggested and
apparently there is no parasite
of man that may not be a mode
of disease conveyance. Flies,
fieas, mosquitoes and bugs not
only are all under suspicion, but
most of them are also actually
demonstrated as ordinary and
frequent conveyors of diseases
of numerous and various kinds.
According to The Journal of the
American Medical Association
health authorities must now take
up the problem of getting rid of
insects parasites in order to
stamps out disease.

Why we Should Fear Bugs.

The feeling of instructive re-
vulsion against parasites of all
kinds which characterizes hu-
mainly generally, and which is
due to something much more
than the mere pain or annoyance
that their bites might infiict, be-
comes more inter e tim as
further discoveries show the roll
of such insects in the spread of
disease. Unfortunately this nat
ural adherence has not been
enough to protect man under
conditions of poverty and UNI
cleanliness from harboring such
parasites, and now those who
understand how much more than
a mere personal annoyance is in
question from the existence of
parasites must take up the prob
EN- of eradicating them. The

Fuss and Feathers.

In the chicken yard opportuni-
ty knocks about once every hour.
BOOSTERS don't grow tenderer
as thew grow older. Don't let
them die natural death.
Carry a lead pencil in your
pocket and date the eggs as you
gather them from day to day.
If the fool.killer should always
show up at the right time there
wouldn't be people enough left
to set the hens.
If your wishbone is more fully
developed than your backbone,
you'd better stay out of the

A Widow at ID Years Old.

Youngest of the two dozen
brides widowed by the founder
ing of the Titantic, Mrs. Celary AL
exander, IA years old, a pretty
Syrian girl, called at the White
Star office to-day and told through
an interpreter the story of how
her husband was parted from
her when the officers of the YES
sci thrust her into lifeboat.
Her husband, she said. cam
to this country several years ago
and prospered in business in
Wilkes-Barre, Pa, so that this
year he decided to go back to
Syria for wife. Among all the
maidens in his village at the
foot of Mount Lebanon he sim
gled out this girl and they were
married about two months ago.
They started back aboard the tt
tanic with 142 other Syrians, all
from the same district. Of these
125 were drowned and twenty
nine were brought here by the
Carpathia. The child widow,
when seen to-day, still had her
finger nails stained with the red
ink painted there on her wedding
night, according to the Syrian
fashion,
The Syrians will all be sent to
their friends in Pennsylvania.
They lost practically all their

GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.

GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.
L am compelled to make this
statement in response to inquir-
les by friends and others as to
why the Messenger has not TAX
en- a more aggressive part in the
present campaign. 1t is difficult
to edit a daily paper from a dis
lance of thousand miles and
impossible to participate in eau
cuses and conferences under
such circumstances. Moreover,
as an officer of this great COM
mittee, have felt, as the chair
man does, with the responsible
tiles that are upon me, it would
be hardly proper to participate
actively in the campaign in behalf
of any candidate for the nomina
ton.
However, / feel it not improp-
er to state that | earnestly favor
the instruction of the Kentucky
delegation to Baltimore. IN
fortunately, the new Kentucky
primary law does not include the
selection of delegates to national
cow entions. | advocated this
before the law was enacted. |
earnestly urged the authors of
the bill to include it. We must
come to this in Kentucky ard
will come to it before another
presidential election In ten or
more States, there are such laws.
In the absence, however, of this
law, the voters should demand
at every county convention the
instruction of ali delegates.
DENIES STATEMENT.
''In a recent issue of the New
York Sun, in a statement pur-
porting to come from the Harmon
headquarters, was referred TO
as ''Bryan's mouthpiece in Ken
lucky" This is not true. 1t
never was true. But to the Dem
ocrats of Kentucky l am glad to
repeat the advice Mr.. Bryan has
so often given to his friends:
Instruct your delegates from
the precincts up, and they can
not then, misrepresent you at the
State or National conventions
without putting dishonor upon
| themselves.
Whoever the choice for Pres
ident in Kentucky, whether it be
Clark, Wilson or Harmon, let US
have instructions. Whatever
the choice for State chairman or
National committeeman, let US
have instructions. If have not
served the party well in the lat
ter capacity, let the party say
whom it wants as my successor.
If there be another who wants
the place bring him out in the
open and give the voters a
chance to decide upon his merits
1T is needless to say that in
the State convention | shall
stand or fall with my friends
the same friends with whom |
stood at Lexington four years
apo. chief of whom is Ou;a
James.
