DANGER OF SPLITTING

Ninety-fve per cent, Of our con-

quently laden with deadly disease
germs, particularly that of consump-
|tives.
"When one coughs, spits or sneezes
a great multitude of tiny drops of spit
tie are violently expelled from the
mouth and nose. The largest of these
drops can be readily seen. A large
number of smaller droplets can be
found if a mirror or piece Of glass is
held before the face when coughing or
sneezing. A tremendous quantity of
still smaller droplets are discharged
in the form of an invisible spray or
mist, which floats about in the air for
some time. Scientists have found that
when a man coughs, spits, or sneezes
in large hall or room where the air
| is quiet. these tiny, invisible germ
laden droplets will float in the air for
distance of 25 to 100 feet. These
tiny droplets, in the form of mist or
spray, may be breathed in by other
people, or they may settle on objects
with which they come into intimate
contact, such as food and clothing.
Viewed in this light, such conduct is
at least impolite. Furthermore, it is
dangerous to the public at large to
have careless people actually cough
ling, sneezing and splitting germ-laden
matter into their faces even if it Is
invisible and in the form of fine mist. .

is where the home paper saves a
world of trouble. It is better than a

Farmers and Republican Prosperity.

I'm regard to Mr.. Cleveland's admi-
.nistration,' recently wrote an intelli-
gent Yates County farmer to friend,
II will say that I then sold the best
wheat crop I ever raised for 55 cents
a bushel, and oats for II cents bu-
shel, today worth 60 cents bushel.
Potatoes in the fall were Is cents a

hire men then for IS cents day; to-
day it costs s1.5O to $500 a day to
get man."
During the last few years, and since
the Republicans remedied the Tariff
conditions brought about by Demo
cratic Tariff tinkering, the farmers of
this country have become prosperous.
They have improved their lands, in
creased their stock and implements,
and many of them have laid aside a
surplus in the banks. Thousands of
them have paid off their mortgages
and therefore have stopped the al
ways burdensome interest account. AS
class they have reaped rich re-
ward under Republican policies, and
they are the very backbone of the ma
ton.
AS this farmer writes, under the
Wilson-G German Tariff agriculture was
deplorably depressed. 1t suffered be-
cause business and manufacturers
were on the decline. Crops were sold
at a low figure, and mortgages in
creased in size. Now all is changed,
and the farmer is prosperous. Can it
be possible that he will soon forget

Easy Work

The work connected with the con-
test is not hard, in fact it is easy,
pleasant work. All you have to do is
to ask Warren Sheaf regular readers
to pay up to 1913 and try to induce
everyone who is not taking the War
ren Sheaf to subscribe at once. You
collect at the regular rate of S1OO per
year and in this way are asking no
favors of any one, as it costs a sub
scriber no more to pay in this office
than it would to pay a candidate.
You can do great deal of work by
