The TYPHOID OR HOUSE FLY

state Entomologist Washburn. in

lance OF early measures to prevent
the multiplication of that disease.
breeding pest, the house-fly. In the
early spring the flies are comparative-
~ few. But Zone pair in April means
millions in August; hence the desir-
ability of an early killing.
remember that the fly breeds in
morse manure; in almost any moist
Nth, in garbage and similar material
Where there is no filth there are no
lies. But single filthy farmyard

Whole village with disease. the germs
OF which are carried on their feet.
Ihese germs may be those of typhoid
dysentery, consumption or cholera:
and the fly may have come directly
from the source Of infection, to de.
poslt them on our food, on the nipple
OF the baby's bottle, or on our spoons
and forks. Fly-borne germs thus caus.
ed the death of 5000 American soldi.
ers during the Spanish war.
The first of measures to secure a
fyless vicinage sa thorough cleaning
up of all refuse-heaps, filth of all
kinds, manure piles, garbage, old
cans, bottles, vaults and earth-closets.
Meanwhile put screens on all doors
and windows. See that all swill-bar-
rels and garbage-cans are tightly
closed. A spray composed of 8 ounces
arsenite of soda, dissolved in 20 gal
Ions OF water, to which one pint Of
cheap molasses has been added. may
be effectively used upon manure
heaps. (Keep chickens away from
this.)
Another poison, safe and effective,

placed in Mason fruit-jar inverted
in shallow dish, and so arranged as
to feed the fluid to the dish as fast
as needed; or it might be poured into

reach of children.
The Hodge Outdoor Fly Extermi-
nator, baited with bread and milk, is
recommended as the most effective of
traps. It can be had of all leading

luncheon to six invited guests in the

noon. The names of the girls who
thus demonstrated their skill in the

Bessie Sedlacek, Ella Olson and
Florence johnson. The guests were
Mr.. and Mrs. N. E. Bystrom, Mr.. Aug.

girls to prepare and serve meal on

A poem written by Arthur Sommers
and read by Henry Hanson at the Ju-
nior Program, Friday night:
When we were in the Freshman class
And were freshies as is the rule,
1t seemed as tho we would ne'er reach
That seeming distant goal.
But we are moving toward it
And soon we will be there,
And part for different places
Our different tasks to do,
Some of us, will be teachers
And lessons will be giving
Some of us will be doctors
4 And carve people for living.
Eut let us pause before we go
On with this Junior class,
And talk about the members,
And different things that p. SIS. -

There is Happy, our president,
1 A position she will fulfill. '----za,es=.s:
She is always bright and cheerful,
And never can keep still.
Then there is Anna Cheney
That ever studious girl,
She knows her German books by heart
and does chemistry problems in a
I whirl
Then there are Edith and Elna.
They never are apart,
And were they to separate
1t would surely break their hearts.
And there is Arvid Lindstrom,
1 AAeSI uouSuCy 1lCClO OOy,
Who is always cutting up in school,
| Teasing girls is his great Joy.
Then there is Harold with his weak
voice,
That makes the teachers strain their
ears,
But he is quiet sort of chap,
And Of being heard he always fears.
Then there is Mary Millar,
/ Who is quiet all the while,
She never speaks to anyone,
And was never known to smile.
And also Anna Odman,
The noisiest in the crowd,
Where things should be kept quiet,
She never is allowed
We also have two 1das.
Two Idas in one class,
But when the exams come round
They are always sure to pass.
From Dakota came boy,
His name is Alfred Hayter,
It is sure that his name does fit him
we'll
He is such woman-hater.
Then there is Brado
He tho't he would quit last spring
But he got kind of lonesome
And so he's back again.
Also Estelle and Esther,
Whom we must keep together,
You never see them when apart

BOOST IT ALONG

A Chamber of Commerce. Conner eial Club or any kindred organization can accomplish a world of good for it's community if it's work be properly directed. There is no doubt about that. These bodies have accomplished wonders in a commercial and econom- ic way. They have been prime fact. ors in the upBunding of towns, in the dissemination of accurate intor- nation. in the establishment Of new industries, in promoting efficiency and economy in civic government. in the cultivation Of civic pride-in short in all that makes for the upbuilding of an up-to-date American commun- ity.
 A commercial organization having these and other material objects in view must necessarily stand for the best interests Of the entire commun- ity. Its work can not be selfish. The interests of one should be the con. cern of all. In this way unity of action is assured. A city or town with a fixed purpose in view, given natural advantages such as Juneau possesses. must forge to the front in a commercial and economic way. One Of the first duties of the business men of town or embryo city with a future is to prepare for it's growth and expansion.
 It is a good policy to boost, and boost all the time Now prosperous cities and towns have grown up in the desert because they were peopled by men with clearness of vision and the energy Ito boost in season and out or season"

PARCELS POST.

According to an order issued by the Postotfice Department. relative to parcel post regulations. distinctive Parcels Post stamps must be used on all fourth class matter beginning Jan. 1. 1913, and such matter bearing or linary postage stamps will be treat ed as Held for Postage"
 Parcels will be mailable only at Postotiices. branch postofices or such stations as may be designated by the Postmaster.GeneraL
 All parcels must bear the return name and address of sender, other. wise they will not be accepted for mailing.
 At last the long and costly express monopoly seems likely to be broken, for. on January 1. the United States will enter upon its first experience with parcelpost. While the service is to be somewhat restricted, and is largely in the nature of an expert ment. the fact remains that a breach has finally been made in the bul. warks of an autocracy whose grip on the transportation of parcels has imposed heavy penalty on the purse of the people. says Munsey's Maga- zine for November
 Under what is known as the Bourne Lewis plan, the United States and its territories, including Alaska, but excepting the Philippines are to be divided into eight zones for parcel post purposes The charges for the transmission Of parcels are regulated by this division For local delivery within a zone, the rate will be five cents for the first pound or fraction Of a pound. and one cent for each ad- ditional pound or fraction of a pound. The charge is graduated according to the distance trayersed. For the long est haul-that is, to our colonies-the lAte ID pLAAF L"HAfG NGALo TUT Gut ALob pound It is interesting to contrast this modest sum with the present ex- press rates.
 Under the parcel-post legislation, fourth-class mail matter will embrace all other matter, including farm and factory products. not exceeding eleven pounds in weight This admits of considerable latitude in the parcel. post. and may in time place the United States on a par with the service in Germany, where even such staples as fresh meat are sent my mail.
 The big significance of the intro duction of this loug.needed change is that slowly but surely the American people are shaking of the bonds of monopoly. It could not have begun in a better way than with cheap par cel-delivery

 "The struggle under the competitive system is not worth while" wrote Ju- Illus wayland, the onwer of the "Ap- peal to Reason" a Socialist paper, published at Girard, Kansas. Then he killed himself. But in his own par. tlcular newspaper field he had no competition. There is no other pub. lication in the world exactly like the Appeal Go Reason" though it has it's prototypes. And it claimed a circu. latlon of more than a million copies. Must have been some other reason for Wayland taking himself off.

BOOSTING.

Help your town along by boost, ing! Wear a bright and hopeful face. Do not be forever roasting somewhere near the wailing place! You can't help your town. by knock ing, if it's in a backward groove. ubt some optimistic talking does lot to help things move. In the mud one town was sticking. evidently anchored there, for her people all were kicking, all were dishing up despair. All were grooming OCT their taxes, shedding teardrops in stream, all had ham, mers. clubs and axes, ready for each helpful scheme. So the village sat and rotted till booster landed there; soon the troubles seat he spotted, saw the fungus in the air and he jared the village croakers, stirred them up to hump along, till the place was full of iokers and the breeze was full of song. Citizens forsook the habit of bewailing this and that, and the tim i'd business rabbit rustled like a tiger cat, and they all turned in ker- whooping, singing forth the hamlets praise. and that hamlet, lately droop- ing. filled its neighbors with amaze. Now. this story, true as preaching, shows what one lone man can do, if instead of doleful screeching, he yells cockadoodledoo!" For you stimulate your neighbors every time you give three cheers, and the harvest of your labors will be reaped in coming years.

"Too MUCH JOHNSON"

Too much publicity and too much adulation have made Jack Johnson, the big black bruiser, mad. Reams of good, white paper have been spoiled in telling of his wonderful physical prowess. When he entered the fstic ring and walloped Jim Jefrries, the white man. around the ring at Reno, it was an unlucky day for Johnson. Eyersince he has been degenerating rapidly. Perhaps he had not far to go, but he went down as fast as he could. He is of the dregs of human ity. He has destroyed a wonderful physique and strength that might have been put to better use, hoeing corn or picking cotton, for instance, has been misused and mis.spent. The world has no need of such men as Johnson. He has never represented anything but mere brute force and a wonderful agility in getting himself into trouble.
 His is not all the blame. His white packers, chapters. piebiters, bounty.takers and publicity agents have played him up in his many roles until he has become a pest and a nol- some nuisance. If he be guilty of the atrocious crime with which he is charged, and is safely placed away for an indefinite time. the American pub lie and the world at large will be the gathers There is no niche in the human economy in which he fits. He is simply a blatant blackguard, even though he reads his Bible and studies the Life of Napoleon" in his prison cell after breakfast.
