Humane Butchering
Practiced In Iceland

A recent article in June number
of "Dumb Animals" describes the
superior methods of slaughtering
animals for market, which prevail
IN Iceland. The following extract
IS clipped from the mentioned ar
ticle:
"The sheep are led into the
slaughter room singly, where a
mask, with a movable iron bolt is
quickly thrown over their eyes as
they enter. A man with one blow
drives the bolt into the sheep s
brain. 1t drops dead instantly. 1t
has seen no signs Of others destroy
ed before it. Cattle and pigs are
killed by bullet before the knife
is used, death being instantaneous.
This in Iceland! Here in Amer
lea, swine, and the majority of
calves, are still subjected to the
brutal methods employed by the
uncivilized and savage-they are

Lowering The Cost Of Living

After series of experiments
lasting through many weeks, the
officials Of the colored social settle
ment of Washington, d. c., have
announced that they have lowered
the cost Of a wholesome meal for
six persons to AZ cents, or seven
cents a person.
The reduction in cost is brought
about largely through an advanced
knowledge of cooking, by which
cheap meats are made as tooth
some and appetizing as meats of
greater cost. Here is one division
OF the cost One and one-half
pounds of flank beef, at II cents a
pound; spinach, 5 cents; potatoes,
8 cents; parsely, l cent; onion, |
cent. The remainder of cost, or II
cents, provides for beaten biscuits
and baked apples.
The settlement insists that the
seven-cent meal is not theoretical
and that such meals are the rule in
its headquarters.

Delaware In National
Congress Of Mothers

Mrs. Lewis Mustard, Of Lewes,
before the National Congress of
Mothers, in Boston last week read
the report for the Delaware branch
OF the congress in lieu Of Mrs.
George w. Marshall of Milford.
who was delegate to the congress,
but was prevented from attending.
The report follows:
The Delaware Branch Of the Ma
tional Congress of Mothers has been
growing steadily in influence
throughout the State during the
past year.
1--WE have six parent teachers
associations, with good prospect
of others coming in this year. All
associations are connected with
schools, except one, and that is con-
nected with church. Our men,
bership is about four hundred. AS
a council meeting held in Milford,
organizers were appointed for each
OF the three counties of the State.
One new association has been or
ganized at Cheswold in Kent.
The annual meeting of the coun-
Gil will be held at Laurel, Sussex
county, on Thursday, May %, in
the Century Club rooms. Reports
from officers of the State branches
and presidents of associations will
be given. The meeting will be an
open one and all who are interested
III child welfare will be invited to
attend and participate in the pro-
ceedings.
The problem in Delaware seems
to be to arouse the interest of the
people to the value of the work of
the congress.

ton, of Dover, Delaware, is doing

forts manual training is established

From Delaware OF Course

John Bassett Moore, counselor
for Bryan's s Department of State,
is one Of the leading authorities Of
the country on international law.
He has written books on the sub
ject that are the final tidings. Fur
thermore, he was Assistant Secre-
tary of State in 1898 and was Sec
retary and counsel of the Spanish
American Peace Conference at
Paris in that year. From all this,
even the most skeptical reader will
grasp the idea that John Bassett
Moore knows something about in
ternational law and the relations of
nations one to the other. He knows
where the various nations are and
what comprise their rights.
Having that in mind, let us now
go back several years-back to

Legislation Affecting
Freight Shipment

TO assist the railroads to pro-
tect interstate freight shipments
from theft, Congress has enacted a
law making such theft an otfense
against the National Government.
For years railroads and shippers
have suffered heavy losses from
theft of goods in transit. These
loses in many cases amount to more
than the claims paid by a railroad
for goods damaged in train
wrecks. On the Pennsylvania Rail
road in 1912, claims to the extent
of $2S,9OS, due entirely to theft,
were paid, while claims for goods
damaged in wrecks amounted to
only $4,000.
Owing to the fact that trains run
through many different counties
and states, railroad authorities
have heretofore found it very diff
ficult to prosecute car and depot
thieves because in such prosecu-
ton it was necessary to establish
the location Of the crime.
Through the Carlin Act, as the
new law is called, these thieves
must face prosecution in the Fed
eral court, either in the district
where the theft occurred, or in the
district where the thief is appre-
hended with the stolen goods. In
other words, the new law makes it
possible for railroads and the Ma
tional Government effectively to
expedite the prosecution of thieves
who make a practice Of robbing
freight cars and depots.

hung up by hind leg, then their
throats are cut and they are left to
bleed to death, the dying struggle
lasting into several minutes. Why
are we so careless Of their suffer-
ing? Because the great body of
those who eat flesh never stop to
think of the horrors Of the shambles
into which, as into some hell Of
fright and pain, these creatures
must pass before their carcasses
are worked up into chops and
roasts and outlets. Also because to
kill them humanely would take a
minute or two of extra time, and
time is money to us in this progress
slve country where so small mat
ter as the fair and just treatment
OF our food animals must not be
considered even against the profits

The cruelties of the small slaugh-

est crimes Of our time and country
against defenseless animal life.
Here is theme well worthy the at
tention of Congress-, as it has been
deemed worthy of the considera-

Fly-Swatting Ineffective

1t is always fly time somewhere,
and everywhere (in this country
at least) it is fly time some time.
Summer is pre-eminently the time
for flies in all portions of the
United States, and as the past
winter has been unusually short
and mild, it would be well for us to
be more than ever on our guard
this season against the dangerous
and pestilential insect which has
been the object of organized cam
pains of determination.
In presenting the report of the
fy-fghting committee of the Amer
lean Civic Association, last fall, the
chairman expressed the hope that
there might be no more fiy-killing
contests. According to a report
made at the time, that sentiment
took the assembled fy-fghters by
surprise, which was dissipated,
however, when Mr. Hatch, the
chairman, said:
eve cannot insist too much or
too often upon cleanliness as the
beginning, middle, and end Of the
fy-fghting campaign. "Swat the
fy!' as a slogan must give way to
Starve the fly The latter is more
euphonious, and infinitely more
practical.
The chairman summarized a SER
les Of reports coming from cities
and towns in all parts Of the coun-
try and said that, in cities i'll which
substantial cash prizes had been
awarded, in no case did the num-
Der of flies killed i'll the whole of
a campaign exceed the quantity
which could easily have been rear
ed in the course Of a few weeks.
While the educational value of
such fy-killing campaigns cannot
be overestimated," the report said,
cit would seem that greater results
might be obtained by conducting
campaigns against dirty stables
and back yards, garbage reaps and
dumps and all places that produce
flies and supply them with infec-
ton
The Florida Board Of Health last
summer adopted an ordinance re-
luiring hotels, boarding houses and
to screen their dining
rooms and kitchens so as to keep
out flies. The ordinance also re-
luires wire covers to be placed over
fruits, meat, etc, offered for sale;
and makes it unlawful for a horse
stable within 500 feet Of a resi-
1ence or store not to be equipped .
with means to prevent the breed |.
ng and liberating Of flies.
Reports from the Panama Canal
Zone indicate that the canal coun-
;ry is now freer Of flies than the
Middle Atlantic States. This is
lue to scientific screening, the de-
struction Of garbage, and the re-
noval Of refuse matter.

Court Decides Against VAUGHN.

That L. U. Vaughn, former
superintendent of the Odd Eel
lows orphanage at Greenville,
who at his trial in Greenville con-
fessed to having criminally mis-
treated young girls under his
care, and who was condemned
to die by electrocution on De-
cember 80, but appealed his case
to the supreme court in a de-
cision announced Monday after
noon by the supreme court will
have to pay the supreme penalty
of the law. His case will be
remanded to Greenville for re-
sentence. The opinion was
written by Chief Justice Eugene
B. Gary and was concurred in
by Associate Justices Hydrick,
Watts and Fraser. The next
term of the court of general
sessions for Greenville county
will be held during the month
of October.
. That the attorneys for Vaughn,
in their exceptions, failed to
show that the presiding Judge
abused the discretion of the
court, and that the right to insist
upon the errors assigned was
waived when the defendent
withdrew the plea of mot
guilty, is the opinion of the
high court.
Concerning the penalty i'm
posed upon Waugh, the opinion
says that the same question has
been decided in the case of the
State against Malloy. The court
refused to sustain this exception
to the sentence providing for
electrocution.
