placed women and children in the
life boats, and remained upon the
Titanic themselves and went down to
their death
There il a general impression, that
with all the evidences of carefu1 con-
struction and equipment of the ship,
there were some things that ought to
have received attention. One of
these il that the ship ought to have
been provided with enough life boats
to save the total number of persons
she was carrying. Tit must BE- said,
however, that he had tn number tie
law required
Then it is thought she should nave
been provided with good searchlight,
Hin which case the fatal iceberg might
have been seen i'm time To enable the
vessel to have changed her course,
and thus avoided the accident. An
examination il now going On by "A
committee of the United States SEN
ate, and al the Titanic was a vessel
sailing under the British flag, the
British Board of Trade will hold an
investigation With these investiga-
tons all the facts will d. diEclosed,as
far as can be, and such additional
safeguards for ocean travel will
doubtless be required, a. the best
thought UT experts en- suggest.

ter, there may come good to the vast

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL &c, 1912
IS THE FLY CRUSADE PRACTICA-
BLE4

"If we don't kill the fly, he may kill
u" il statement appearing o. some
circulars recently printed at the in-
stigation Of one Of Westminster's well
known physicians. That we believe
thoroughly the truth Of the statement
and are in sympathy with Thu fly cru
saders, il demonstrated by the extra
pages which The Advocate has Deen
pleased to print this week in the in
terest of a new organization naming
itself The Westminster Association
for the Promotion of Public Welfare. !"
A dozen years ago only few
scientists recognized the fly as dis
ease carrier; the rest of VA regarded
him as merely an annoying nuisance
which would come into our houses,
buzz around, and make US feel a
little nervous" But now people are
awake tn the danger, and there are
very few States in which some effort
has not been directed against the fly.
Many Boards of Health and Civic
Leagues have made war On The fiy
with splendid results, and we find ex-
cellent educational articles on flies
and their determination in such mag
azines al Harper's, Worlds Work,
Ladies' Home Journal, Woman's
Home Companion, La Follette's and
Youths Companion.
The town which can first announce
that 1T III a fyless community is 20
ing to receive worldwide afternoon.
Newspapers will herald its civic in
telligence abroad, and that town will
b. boosted and advertised such Al
was never any other town.
Why cannot Westminster be that
town? 1t is not an impossible prop
osition, even though it may not be
realized this year, or next. Gould
this be achieved our real estate would
greatly increase in value, summer
boarders would flock here, and bust
ness would get 2 BIZ boom.
DR. H. M. Fitzhugh who j. at the
head Of the fly crusade for this COM
munity, has succeeded in interesting
a number of our prominent men, and
in securing the aid or many of our
merchants, green grocerymen and
butchers. He has also shown us
garbage cans with fly traps attached,
which lit il hoped will eventually b.
used by every household in Westmin-
ster Many of the ladies of the COM
munity are also engaged in the cam
paign, and all that ID needed for it,
success il the active cooperation Of
every householder in our city-there
is no obstacle, in the way but indiffer-
ence.
1T the Fly Headquarters, which
will be opened on Main street next
week, any information desired can be
obtained on the subject of the cam
paign against flies, and prizes will
be given the children who are most
active in the massacre Of the pests.
We suggest that everyone read the
excellent articles about flies printed
elsewhere in these columns.

IN MEMORIAM.

Tn sad but loving remembrance Of my beloved
husband. John w. Ogg. who fell asleep in Jesus,
April e. 1910.
In the graveyard quietly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the ore loved 20 dearly
In hs quiet lonely grave
Two long years have passed

But time space eer erase
His memory from my heart.

Farewell my husband may your slumber
Be as gentle as your love,
And when God shall call me homeward

In sad but loving remembrance of our dear little
boy, Paul w. Leppo. who departed years ago,
April 29, 1909.
This loving bud so young and fair,
Called hence by early doom,
just came to show how sweet flower
I'm Paradise would bloom.
Hour by hour we saw him fade,
And slowly sink away;
Yet in our hearts we often prayed,
That he might longer stay
In sad but loving remembrance Of our dear
father. William K. Leppo, who departed this life,
December g. 1911.
Our father now has gone to rest
Beneath the tree of life,
IT. leans upon tn Saviour's breast,
20 free from pain and strife.
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave
Lies the one we loved so dearly.
In his lonely silent grave.
Hi busy hands a. folded,
His work earth il done,
His trials are all ended,
His heavenly throne is won.
Farewell dear father. thou art at rest.
And shall forever be.
You could not stay On earth with Us,
But We come to thee.
Sleep, dear father, and take your rest,
God took you home, he thought it best
It was hard, indeed. to part from thee,
But Gods strong arm supported me.

Maude W: The mussy, "stingy'' con-
dition of your hair is dUe to the use OF
soap and liquid shampOos containing
free" alkah. You can quickly correct
this condition by shampooing with can
throx. teaspoonful of which dissolved
in a cup hot water is ample for thor
oUgh cleansing. The canthroX mixture
thoroughly dissolves dust and dandruf
and neutralizes excess oil. Rinsing leaves
hair and scalp wonderfully clean and
sweet. and the hair dries quickly, with
throx for restoring the brilliance and
silky iuffiness to the nair.

to protect the complexion during sum-
mer than plain spurmaN lotion. This is

then adding ounces spurmaX. This is
invisible when on and imparts delight
ful tint ta the skin. You will find the
freckles. oiliness of the skin and other
complexion disfgurements. The spur
max lotion will not spot from perspira-
tion, and its use overcomes the need Of
powder or rouge.
Mayme L.: The dust-laden air of sum-
ner is hurtful to the eyes, and to Danish

harmless crystos eve tonic is made by
dissolving an ounce crystos in a pint

late dlids and to take out soreness and

to the eyes. and often overcomes the
necessity for wearing glasses.

do very nicely without the expense OF
an extra one.
1t is best to make the skirt Join the

OF a WOMAN PHYSICIAN

practice grew and grew until-well, the
story says 1t was the largest in Minneap-
oils. You see. many of her calls were
from the poor. and II was their needs
that chiefly appealed to her.
The Small Beginning.
In her work 1t happened that she came
, In contact with two young girls who had
gone astray. and an older woman In need
of work. She secured a temporary shell
ter for the girls and installed the woman
as matron. and that was the first step
toward the Maternity Hospital which
for quarter of century has been her
particular pride.
1t was charitable institution. and
when it happened, that there were little
ones whose future was shrouded in a
mixture of certain poverty and uhcer-
tain morals 1t was her ambition to find
good homes for the unfortunate waits.
And il was her proud boast that in the
main they turned out well. From the
modest beginning. the hospital grew into
recognized institution, with beautiful
grounds, a nursery, nurses home and
a bungalow for the babies.
1t came about through her desire to
help unfortunate girls, but II grew to
be ranked away up among institutions
OF its class and IL was her professional
skill. her marked fitness. and unusual
success that gave 1t name in distant
cities
And DIR. Ripley was not born to the
purple. trained almost from babyhood
for the career. but stepped aside from
her work as wife and mother to study
for and enter the profession which she
certainly helped to dignity.
Marked Benefit TO Mankind.
1t may be that in the world OF doctors
she is not ranked as great, but Mime
apols reckons her among its physicians
who have labored well. have been a
marked benefit TO the city, and have left
goodly memorial in the way OF prac-
tical results.
And so long as she and many others
Of equal and greater achievements are
adding their quota TO the usefulness of
the profession and the good of humanity.
one dislikes to read that almost no
woman has ever achieved any kind of
reputation either as a physician or a
lawyer. or course, II is labOred effort
to prove her unfitness TO invade new
fields and serve in new capacities. but
together with the comment II might be
enlighteninE to publish a recent dispatch
which states that Finnish women have
just succeeded in getting through Par
Lament bill giving them the right to
appear as counsel before the courts
Strange indeed, that some Finnish wom-
an has not earned a name as Q pleader
before the court,
Such comments always look well side
by side.
