There was sharp discussion in sew

difficulty in agreeing upon the plat
form. Col. Roosevelt worked with
the subcommittee in charge of the
platform going over its work and
vigorously helping to mould the draft,
which at last proved acceptable to
him.
The Platform did not take up the
negro question.
Miss Jane Adams of Hull House,

siastically greeted. The new party
formally placed itself on record as

Keep the Barn Clean.

The regulations of the state board
of health in regard to stables provide
that all private stables shall be
cleaned once day and the manure
put in fly proof box and sprlnkled
daily with a solution of one pound of
green vitriol to a gallon of water.
The floors of the stable should be
sprinkled with the same mixture each
day after cleaning. This will pre-
vent flies.
Manure should be hauled away once
a week and not put in dumps to give
flies breeding place.
When it is necessary to store
manure. each fresh supply should be
sprinkled with the above solution.
Livery stables can dispose of manure
best by putting it into boxes on
wheels and this accumulation should
be removed daily when possible.
A number of towns of the state
are endeavoring to have these regula-
tions enforced.

MONEY FOR FLIES
Civic League Will Offer Is Cents
Quart.

The ladies of the Civic league held
meeting last Friday afternoon, and
among other matters of Importance
to the community transacted on that
occasion. decided to inaugurate a 1y
killing campaign The league ladies
have twenty -four fly traps which they
will loan to boys and girls over nine
years of age. who are willing to enter
this campaign. and they will pay 25
cents per quart for the dead flies
brought in. The fly campaign will
begin on Monday. August 26th and
will last two weeks. Boys and girls
are to bring the flies to the armory
every Saturday afternoon between 2
and 4 O'Clock to be measured and de-
stroyed. The flies delivered at the
armory must be dead flies.
There are three methods of killing
them: Holding the traps over the
fumes of burning sulphur, or a bunch
of burning paper, or dipping the traps
in boiling water.
The traps can be secured at Walz's
hardware store on Friday and Satur-
day of this week.
1t may seem to many that it would
be difficult to catch quart of fes.
but with trap properly baited, with
something that will attract flies
something of which they are fond and
which has enough odor to attract
them it is surprising how many may
be trapped in a day.

Chemical Canning Compounds

At this season of the year it might
be we'll to call to the attention of
housewives and others. the nature
of certain substances which are sold
by agents and others to be used in
the preparation of canned fruit and
vegetables. Such compounds or pre-
servatives usually contain among
other substances borax or it's deriva-
tive, salicylic acid. or other drugs of
like character all of which are detri-
mental to health. No other preser-
vatives tnan those known as The
Natural Preservatives. viz. sugar,
salt, spices, vinegar and sometimes
alcohol, should be used in preparing
canned goods for home consumption.
These with the accompanying steriliz.
alton by heat make wholesome and
safe food. In word the housewife
needs no drugs or chemicals when
sound ripe fruits or vegetables are
used for preserving or canning.

CHEAP CITY LIGHTS
S. Stewart Offers City a Money
Saving Rate.

S. Stewart appeared before the
council on Tuesday evening and again
explained the urgency of some con-
tract being made which would assure
the city of light during the coming
winter. He is certain that his pre-
sent plant cannot carry the load dur
ing the heavy part of the winter and
so is most anxious to make provision
for that demand now. He said that
if the council would grant him a five
year contract, he would make it part
of the agreement that the present
rates to private consumers would not
be increased, and he would furnish to
the city the flaming arc lights at $6
per month and the 70 watt tungsten
lamps at 81 per month. This is the
same rate as the old contract with
greatly increased service. and is the
cheapest rate enjoyed by any town in
this vicinity. The council again laid
the matter over to the next meeting.
