Kills $4,000 a Year.
From Leslie's

Bright's disease has been called the
malady of civilization" and the name is
not unmerited 1t is, beyond everything
else a disease Of civilized white men,
and it is due almost entirely to those
habits of life which best distinguish the
white man from the savage Of the Jungle
Nine times out Of ten it is the result,
more or less direct. Of disorders of the
digestive tract. and nine times out of
ten these disorders are due to too much
eating and drinking: too much bending

pie foods, knows nothing of whisky
and gets plenty Of sleep and exercise.
AS a result, he has a good digestion.

veins. But the civilized white man eats
rich food, made appetizing by stimulat-
ing condiments: braces himself with alco-
hol; lives in stuffy houses. in filthy.
smoky cities and never walks when he
can ride. The result is that his stomach
fails in it's duties; his kidneys, mum
dated by poisons, go to pieces-and he
dies from Bright's disease.
Sometimes the trouble starts in the
kidneys themselves-as. for instance.
when they are crippled by alcohol-and
sometimes it starts in the stomach or
elsewhere. But in any case the blame
lies with faulty methods Of living, and 1t
Is the kidneys that suffer the final DAM
age. And when they falter or fail in
their business the body fills up with
poisons and death is not far away.
Bright's disease, in fact may be called
auto-poisoning Its victim dies o:
poisons generated within his own body.
Late government reports indicate that
the malady kills about $4,000 Americans

FLIES IN MARKETS
CAUGHT BY MILLIONS
Crusades in Eastern, Western
and Georgetown Prove
Successful.

Twenty-Five million flies were de-
stroyed in three District markets, the
Eastern. Western and Georgetown mar
kets. during the past summer. accord
ing to an estimate Of Col. w. c.
Haskell, sealer Of weights and meas
ures. and superintendent of markets
Of the District Of Columbia.
Impressed with the practicability Of
systematic fly fighting, as established by
results obtained in The Stars crusade,
Col Haskell arranged for the instaiia,
ton of about twenty fly traps in the
various markets, while, in addition, large
quantities OF sticky fly papers were used
The results obtained were watched close
ly through the summer. The number of
square inches of fly paper used was taken
as the basis of calculating the insect
slaughter by this means. twenty flies
being estimated to one square inch.
Total Passes Twenty-Five Millions.
The results for the season. according
to Col. Haskell's estimate. were
5,1S4000 flies caught on paper and
ern market: 7,5S4,0OO caught on paper
and 3.742.000 caught in traps at the
Eastern market. and 2,526,0OO caught
on paper and 100000 caught in traps
at the GEORGETOWN markets. making a
total of 22.699,0O0 insects slaughtered.
Col Haskell today said that the con-
slant warfare on the insects had pro-
duced satisfactory results and that flies
We're comparatively scarce in the three
markets by the end of the season. 1t is
his plan to install a larger number of
traps next season and conduct an even
more vigorous campaign against the dis
eaSe-Spreading pests.

DISTRICT MAY REGULATE
CROSSING OF STREETS
Piney Branch Citizens Discuss
ACCESSIBILITY of Restricting
Pedestrians on Highways.

A regulation intended to keep pedes-
TRANS off the streets except when using
the regular street crossings is under con-
sideration by the Piney Branch Citizens
Association and may be made the SUBJ
ject of a recommendation to be submit
ted to the District Commissioners.
AT meeting of the association last
night a resolution was introduced by
Newton l.. Collamer, STIMULATING that it
shall be unla wful for any person to stand
on or cross a street except at the regu-
lar crossings or on certain blocks that
may be exempted by the Commissioners
Mr. Newton stated that the highways are
for vehicuar traffic and that pedestrians
should be given a restricted use of them
Consider New Regulations.
The Commissioners are considering
new traffic regulations, but they will
not go so far as to promulgate a regu-
lation Of the character advocated by
Mr. Newton, it is believed. Maj. Rich
ard Sylvester, superintendent of police.
today stated that pedestrians making
use of the streets should keep to the
crossings, but that if they ventured on
other parts of the highways it would
be at their own risk. He doubted, he
said, whether such a. law as that pro-
posed by Mr.. Newton would be con-
stitutional.
1t may be a week or longer before the
Commissioners decide on the new regu-
lations. One of the recommendations be-
ing considered. if adopted. will require
ali vehicles approaching street cars that
have stopped to take on or discharge
passengers to come to a standstili
until the car has started and the pas
sengers discharged have reached the
sidewalk. 1t is believed to be practically
assured that regulation of this char
acter will be adopted by the Commits
Sioners.

Costs $40, 900 to Win GOvernorship.

A candidate for Governor has
informed us that IT takes from
Fifteen to Twenty Thousand dol
lars to win the nomination in the
Democratic primary. We do not
know anything about the cost of
an election, but we are accepting
the statement of man who is in
the race, and we naturally as
sumo that he is spending this
amount of money in his effort to
become Governor of Florida.
The Office pays Five Thousand
dollars a year, or Twenty Thous-
and Dollars for the term. Why
spend Twenty Thousand Dollars
for the privilege of working four
years without pay? There may
be some good and sufficient reas-
on, but we confess that we are
too dense to figure. out the rea-
son. To be on the safe side, we
are going to vote for the man who
has spent less than Three Hun
