The War on the Typhoid Fly.

In any campaign for sanitation
and healthful conditions in the city
or the country, getting rid Of the
fly is absolutely necessary. At best
the fly is a nasty insect carrying filth
from the filthiest sources and de-
posting 1t on our food-a habit that
alone warrants its determination
and at its worst it is a carrier of
germs of disease. To the activities of
flies whole epidemics of typhoid few
er have been traced and many cases
of other diseases.
Ii is possible both TO prevent flies
and to get rid OF them. In this num-
Der of the Worlds Work is a little
article explaining in a simple way
what every householder can do to
exterminate the pest. In ex- months
number a similar article will point
the way for their determination by
community action.
These articles embody as much in

Some Base Ball Definitions

Hugh s. Fullerton publishes an
interesting baseball primer in the
June American Magazine in which
he writes a hundred or moro base
ball definitions. We are quoting a
few as follows:
Bean (N)-The head of a player.
tV) to bean-to piich or throw and
hit the batter in the head. (See
Lima).
"Bone-head-A player noted for
making stupid plays; one adapter
spoke of a players head as his arm
ored turret.'
"Crab-A grabbed player, a
Crouch The verb crab means to
show a quafrelsome or complaining
spirit. Many of the worst crabs in
base ball are the pleasantest and
most genial when off the field, their
crabbedness evidently being the re-
suit OF the nervous strain of playing.
Observation-Disclosures, caught
mapping. Any player who is caught
mapping off a base by a throw from
pitcher or catcher is caught flat
footed The opposite of 'on the
toes Flat-footed also is applied to
runners who do not rise on the balls
OF the feet in s~printing but allow
their heels to touch. Also. such run
ners are kidney-footed or slough
footed.
"Meat-hand-The throwing hand
of a player, the term resulting from
the fact that the throwing hand is
bare while the other is protected by
a glove or mitt.
pebble Hunter-A player who
makes excuses for making errors.
The term arise from the fact that
one old time player was caught car
rying pebbles in his pocket to drop
on the ground after he fumbled, and
then find, claiming each time that
the ball struck a pebble and bounded
wrong.
South Paw-A l~eft-handed pitch
err. The term is derived from the
fact that most base ball grounds are
laid out so the pitcher faces west,
and a left-handed pitchers arm is
70 the south.
Texas Leaguer-A short, weak
fly that drops safe just over the in
field and too close in for the out
fielders to reach it. Usually an ac-
cident, but sometimes accomplished
purposely by good batters who mere
ly tap the ball and float IT safe. The
term originated from the fact that

KACHES STORAGE
DAM NOW DONE
Reclamation Forces Will Be Re-
moved to lKeecheIus to In
stall Larger Dam There

Practically all of the work on the
storage dam at lake Kaches. now be-
constructed by engineers in the re-
clamation service is done, and it is
expected that the work will be en-
tirely completed by fall, according to
the Ellensburg Record. A force Of
about $50 men is at work at the lake.
Supervising Engineer Charles Swigart
recently visited the works, and re-
ported that he was we'll pleased with
the results.
AS soon as the work is completed
at lake Kaches, the service plans to
move it's forces to lake Keechelus,
and small force of men is already
in the field there. A dam is to be
built at the lower end of the lake, at
the site of the present small dam,
but the level of the lake will probably
not be changed until next year.
When the lake is raised, to provide
storage water for the Kittitas recla-
nation district and other irrigation
projects, a large area of fiat at the
head of the lake will be flooded, and
many of the present camping sites
destroyed.
Engineer e. III. Baldwin, who has
had charge of the Kaches work for
the past few years, is not expected
to take charge of the Keechelus, pro-
ject, as he will leave in the near flu
ture for New Mexico to take charge
of government work there.

WHITES SEEK LAND
LEASES ON RESERVE
Petition of Reservation Civic
Clubs Will Be Forwarded to
Indian Department

recommendation will be made by
Agent Don M. Carr of the Yakima In
dian reservation that special land
leases be granted to white settlers on
the Yakima Indian reservation for
periods of from five to seven years, so
as to permit dairying and more diver
sifed farming. Ranchers who are
farming Indian lands claim that the
short term leases, none being over
three years in length, deter the i'm
provement of the property.
Representatives of the Toppenish
and Wapato commercial clubs and the
farmers unions of Toppenish Parker
and Wapato conferred with the Indian
agent and several other Indian serv-
ice officials Monday night and reached
the conclusion stated. The request
will be forwarded. through the agency
to the Indian department at Wash

The agency will also recomm end
that the time for payment of rental
money to the government for the In
dams be extended from July to Sep

THE CURATIVE
BEES STING

The full extent to which the little
busy bee may improve each shining
hour was not realized until the discov-
cry that the sting of the irritable lit
tie hymenopter was a sure cure for
rheumatism. OF course it has always
been known that this method would
afford temporary relief. The victim
of the most violent case Of sciatic. or
inflammatory rheumatism, attacked
by a determined swarm of. atrabilious
bees, Immediately forgot all his minor
affections. The lame and the halt
have been known to lay aside their
clutches and flee as the wild ga
zelle. A.,
The specific curative value of the
bees poison must have been discov-
cred by one of those happy accidents
which have enriched the science OF
medicine. Since it is the female of
the species which alone carries a
sting, perhaps the leaders in the fem
mist movement were convinced that
the burning dart was intended as a
blessing and not a scourge. It was
years before we knew the value OF
rattlesnake oil, and the ella monster
is still held under suspicion.
But experiments have indicated
the mission of the lazy bee, who is
only cruel to be kind A physician
in the Cumberland valley, improving
upon the original discovery, has found
a method of extracting the poison
from the toxic glands and storing it
away for use when occasion arises.
With the aid of his hypodermic
every physician becomes his own bee.
Ninety per cent of the cases of heart
trouble are caused by rheumatism.
The feminine bee, which carries
around sovereign remedy for rheu-
matism. comes into its field of useful
ness through feminine enterprise
Thus, womankfnd, long regarded as
the source of all heart trouble, steps
forth as the strengthened and regen-
orator of the heart
Those who have followed the case
of Redsecker Young, of MiddIetown,
Pa, the rheumatic patient who is
stung into health, are inclined to at
tach serious importance to the dis
covery. In an age when medical
science is concentrating its attention
so largely upon toxins and antitoxins,
perhaps it is worth serious inquiry as
to the truth that the "buccaneer bee"
gives health as we'll as honey-Wash-

Woman Swimmer Deranged

STOCKHOLM, August PA pa
thetic result of the Olympic games is
the placing of one of the Swedish wo-
men swimmers, Tora LARSON, under
medical treatment in a mental institu-
ton. The strain of the games seemed
to tell on her, but nothing was feared
when she went to battle at Halsing-
borg. Suddenly she was missed, and
1t was thought that she had been
drowned in consequence of cramp or
some other cause.
A tugboat was dispatched in search
of her, but it failed to find any trace
till Elsinore on the Danish coast was
reached, and there Miss LARSON was
seen just about to land having com
pleted her swim right across the
sound.
She was physically in fine condition,
but seemed mentally unbalanced and
said she had been urged by the spir-
its in a thunder storm to swim the
sound, and she had obeyed.

BIRDS WERE SCARCE
BUT JACKS PLENTIFUL
Unsportsmanlike Hens in State
Fair Egg-Laying Contest to
Work by Time Piece

Spurred by the ticking of watch. a
dozen or more hens are taking part
in 60-day egg laying contest at the
Washington state fair grounds near
this city. The stimulus of the watch
lies in its ticking rather than in its
marking the passage of time
The contest was started July %
with 3S teams" of six hens and a
rooster. They were housed in sep
arate pens and the record of the eggs
laid each day kept All went merrily
for nearly two weeks when the pros
pect of a clean sixty-day race was
marred by a White Wyandotte be-
longing to a team then ranking sec
ond She decided to stop laying and
to go to setting.
Her unsportsmanlike conduct had
its immediate effect Her teams rec
ord dropped from second to fifth and
then to seventh. III. c. Collier, of
Tacoma, nominally in charge of the
poultry contest. was out of the city.
Other hens showed signs of following
the example of the first foolish pullet
when Secretary Harry Averill of the
state fair solved the problem.
Gazes at Eggs
The White Wyandotte was placed
on nest of china eggs, over which
she settled happily. But not for long.
Under the eggs was a dollar watch.
She put her head on one side and
listened 1t was hardly possible that
her eggs were Matching, but she heard
the ticking which denoted the appli-
cation of the chicks for entrance to
the world.
She climbed off the nest and re-
garded the eggs attentively No
chicks appeared, so she climed bacl,
on. The ticking continued and again
she arose to contemplate the array Of
white chinaware. Again and again
she turned her disappointed gaze on
the eggs. which, by all the laws OF
nature, should have been splitting
open.
Gives Up I'm Disgust
Half day was enough for the
White Wyandotte. In disgust at the
feeble efforts of the chicks or alarm
at her failure to hatch them. she
stayed off the nest and the next
morning showed a disposition again
to qualify for the egg-laying mara
thon and was restored to her team
mates
The same procedure has been fol-
lowed with a dozen other hens which
have shown that their hearts are not
in the competition and always have
they lost but day or two before
being re-entered, and Secretary Aver

ton to the poultry journals telling of
his discovery.

BY fall they will become strong young
