"Long ago, when | was child" said
the little woman in gray. al read story
about hen who couldn't say anything
bad enough about one of the other hens
because she (the other hem had speck-
led feather m her wing, while all the time
the gossiper was being laughed at by the
whole barnyard because she had two
speckled feathers in her wing and didn't

the other day.
"For long time I've been annoyed by
the mannerisms OF my family. Tom
doesn't eat his soup in the quieteSt fashion,
and father keeps up continual tattoo
with his fingers while talking; and even
my dear mother huns about her work
off the key, too-in way that gets on my
nerves awfully. I've said little things
from time TO time about mameriSms, and
they promised TO reform, but yesterday
they turned on me. proposed that we
set I'D a mite box and each one put in a

Her "tee- -heeing" isn't hall so bad

stand the rest OF my faults if only I'd cure
myself of that dreadful habit Of drumming
on the edge OF the chessboard wheH ne
was trying TO concentrate his mind on his

Malaria.

Nearly twenty years ago malaria was
proved TO be ablood disease due to min
ute organism that destroys the red corpus
cles. This organism is always introduce
ed into the body through the bit OF GER
tain kind of misquito. When the mos
quito. When the mosquito bites a suf-
fer from malaria. II takes In the germs
with the sufferers blood. The germs
multiply In the intestine Of the mosqsp,
and travel through Its bodY,-unfortu-
naiely doing II no harm. to the proboscis.
Whaa that mosquito bites another human
being, young germs escape into the vic
TINS blood, and there grow into the adut
forms that cause the disease.
Many persons still believe that malaria
can come from the ground, or the water,
or the air, and they cite instances OF the
appearance OF the dread disease In places
where there are no mosquitoes. Careful
inquiry, however, will show one OF three
things: that the victim has had malaria
before, and that his present attack is
relapse; that there are few mosquitoes
In the place. after all or that the disease
is not really malaria.
Other persons say that although they
have been frequently bitten by mosQui-
toes, they have never had malaria. That,
however, proves nothing. for there is on
ly one kind Of mosquito In which the
malaria germ can grow. and even that
kind cannot transmit malaria unless
has first bitten some one suffering from Il.
The way to prevent malaria is to de-
sroy all mosquitoes, for only an expert
can distinguish the particular mosquito
that carries malaria. II Is not enough TO
kill them after they have entered the
house; they must be prevented rom
breeding. That we can easily do, Tor
the eggs are laid In stagnant water, and
the wrigglers live In the water until their
wings are grown. II mosquitoes cannot
find pools, water-barrels and other COLI
lections OF still water, they will moi lay
| their eggs and II pools that cannot be
drained or screened are covered with oil.
the wriggIers cannot get TO the surface to
brsstt,e, and so never grow into mosqui-
toes.
MosauItoes In a foon csa be killed by
closing all the doors and windows and
| then burslng Q mixture Of one part Of salt
peter With filrec parts Of dried and pow
dered iimson-weed. II is still better to
keep the doors and windows eifectually
screened with wire netting that has twen-
ty nleshes 10 the inch.

Greatest of Evils.

Judge Maxwell on Prohibition.

! earnestly favor the ratification OF the
proposed prohibition amendment, among
other reasons, because:
/. Alcohol is a poison and disastrously
affects the human system.
2. The use OF alcoholic beverages is
directly responsible for very large pro-
portion OF the crime in West Virginia.
B. The open saloon is the greatest
stumbling block in the pathway OF West
Virginia boys and girls; il is not square
deal to them to permit their future welfare
and happiness TO be menaced by this
evil.
4. The license system Is wrong from an
economic view. For example, thirty
three saloons in Clarksburg pay annually
to theistate and city in license the sum Of
S49, 10000 and then proceed 10 do gross
annual business OF probably 100000,
as estimated by some Of our good busi-
ness men.
5. Prohibition does prohibit, the state
ments OF liquor men to the contrary not
withstanding. Prohibition, OF course.
does not annihilate and its friends do not
claim that for it. Our antl-murder laws
do not annihilate murder but they reduce
the occurrence Of that crime TO minimum.
Likewise will prohibition operate.
6. Prohibition stands for social liberty
as opposed 10 individual license.

A Buried Meteorite.

Coon Butte In Arizona contains vast
crater, 1900 feet In diameter and 600
feet deep, that is believed by many TO
have been formed by the impact OF CO.
losSal meteor. Hundreds OF pounds OF
meteoric iron have been found scattered
over the surrounding country, and there
are countless pieces OF iron and bits OF
meteohc material TO be seen on the floor
and sloping sides Of The crater. Prof.
Elihu Thompson has estimated that be
tween 100000 and 100000 tons OF
earth and rock were displaced when the
great crater was formed. and thatthe me-
teorite must have weighed at least l0,-
600, 600 tons. Professor Thompson be-
ueves that II entered the surface OF the
earth at an oblique angle, and that new
soundings al tiie south and southwest
sides OF the crater may reveal the ofgi-
nal mass. The discovery would not on
Iy settle much-discussed problem, but
would be profitable commercially, be-
cause, like every large meteoritc. this
one probably contains large quantities
Of iron, nickel, platinum and diamonds.
