ELECTRIC ROAD EASILY CRIPPLED

Great schemes of main line rail-
way identification have for some
time been under consideration in
Germany, and highly placed army
officer has just raised strategical OBJ
jections to the project. He points
out, with some logic, that in war
time it would be easier to cripple an
electric than a steam railway, by the
simple expedient of causing short
circuit or demolishing power house.
Moreover, if the Socialist party car
ried out its threat of hamperirg
mobilization, these conditions would
greatly facilitate their task.

WHAT FLY sWATTING MEANS.

Nothing more effective in the
anti-fy crusade has yet been issued
than the circular prepared by the
New York State Board of Health for
general circulation. A concise state
ment tells how flies transmit the
most deadly diseases and how they
may be eliminated by destroying the
breeding places. These places are
found wherever there is filth. The
circular states the case plainly. 1t
says that Flies Follow Filth. Few
er Follows Flies. Swatting Saves
Sickness. Flies in the dining room
usually precede nurses in the sick
room. Screens in the windows pre-
vent crepe on the door. Flies, as
well as bad water, spread typhoid.
A fly in the milk may mean a men,
ber of the family in the grave. A
fly has natural enemies; the most
persistent and most effective should
be man. 1t costs less to buy
screen door than to get sick and lay
off for a month. It's a short haul
from the garbage can to the dining
table via the fly route. 1t is better
to screen the cradle and wear a smile
than scott at the precaution and
wear mourning.
These aphorisms carry world of
meaning. If the fly is so great a
menace, the determination of the
pest should enlist the active effort
of every municipality, all of the State
governments, and federal govern
ment and every civic organization in
the land. Taking it for granted that
one-fourth of all the typhoid fever
cases are caused by flies, one-fourth
of all the diseases that carry off tens
and thousands of babies in the sum-
mer, together with a large proper
tion of the cases of diphtheria, scar
let fever, tuberculosis and other dis
eases, we tolerate a menace that in
every respect is most astounding.
The breaking out of smallpox in a
community creates CONSERVATION.
Yet the ravages of smallpox are not
to be compared with the fearful
menace caused by the fly. The pres
ence of the insect should be regarded
as pestilential affliction of the first
magnitude and it's tolerance as a ma
tional crime-for it can be eliminat-
ed.
1t is not difficult TO comprehend
the relation between the fly and dis
ease. If we bear in mind that the
poison of disease can be transmitted
to the human being by taking into
the system germs so small in guam
tity that they cannot be seen by the
naked eye, we know how the fly,
travelling from the germs in filth to
the dining table, can convey deadly
dose upon its tiny feet. Flies in the
sick room, on the toys handled by a
diphtheria or scarlet fever GONZALES
cent, on the sputum elected by a
victim of tuberculosis, are just as
capable of carrying disease as
though person purposely took the
poison into the system. Some day
we will wake up to the meaning of it

of sunhine which she in her blind
ness sees more fully than do those
who have sight. 1t is message ad-
dressed to those who, having eyes,
see not, and having ears, hear not,
for no one can hear Helen Keller's
optimism and cheerfulness without
being thankful for what are deemed
to be the ordinary faculties of life.
The name of Helen Keller can nev-
er be separated from that of Mrs.
Macy (Anne M. Sullivan), the teach
er and companion of 26 years, who
opened the gates for Miss Keller to
the outside world. One hardly knows
whom to admire the more, the teach
er or the scholar. AS they have nev-
er been separated these many years,
so they are not separated on the lee
ture platform. e
1t was still difficult doing, but Miss
Keller's indomitable will and Mrs.
Macy's patience mastered all. The
desire to speak was the hardest of
all to crafty, for every vocal move
ment had to be learned and initiated
by Miss Keller.
Only after 20 years is she able to
make herself heard and understood
by large audiences. But she can speak
and she uses her new powers to
spread cheer and happiness.
