GOOD ROADS PREVENT DISEASE

GOOD ROADS PREVENT DISEASE.
Few persons, on first thought would
see any possible connection between
good roads and good health. Yet
the State Board Of Health OF Kansas
says that good roads can and will
prevent disease. How? BY the ~,
moval of weeds and trash. Weeds
and trash prevent the prompt evapor-
alton Of moisture and promote reten-
ton Of ground water. This mokes
ideal breeding spots for mosquitoes,
flies and other insects, which are
known as disease carriers, not to
mention chinch bugs, hoppers and
other insects which are crop damag-
ers Furthermore, an underground
of weeds invites the dumping OF gar
bage and manure by offering con-
ce alment, of which fact careless and
thoughtless people are prone to take
advantage. thus increasing the facili-
ty of insect breeding and providing
these insect carriers with proper ma
terial for disease Transmission Goou
roads also prevent disease by provid-
ing good drainage Many farms have
no means of drainage except by ditch
es along roadways. Open bitches,
clear of brush and debris, with hard
ened surface proper fail, afford these
farms the opportunity of Kidding
| themselves of many stagnant pool

ing. insures prompt drainage of all
pool, ditch and surface water, remov-
/ ing the possibility of insect breeders,
for none can multiply without moIs,
| ture. Road oiling in itself is destfuc-
tive of insect larvae, especially mos
quitoes-a well known fact. Dry
roads offer pedestrians, and notably
children who are compelled to walk
to and from school, dry shoes and
fleet While colds are due to specific
germs, yet it is wellknown fact
that cold. wet feet and chilled limbs
4 lower the resistance of individuals
and make them more favorable sub.
jects for infections of the respiratory
passages. including pneumonia and tn
berculosis. Good roads prevent dis
ease by setting an example to adjoin
ing farm premises Good roads pro
mote travel and set an example to the
farmer whose premises are bordereG
by them. The comparison of well
graded, clean highway with an I'm
kempt and trashy barnyard adjoining
is sufficient to stimulate every land
owner to a cleanup Pride compel:
him to offer to passers-by a neat
appearing and attractive house anc
barnyard. Results are only too OBJ
vious. Good roads are active diseas,
prevention agencies. aside from thei
financial and commercial value.

NO HALL SIGN OF PREVENTION.

NO HALL SIGN OF PREVENTION.
The Survey, the weekly journal Of
social advance, has had a time Of III
finding symbol for its own special
field. which has to do with prevention
of sickness, poverty and crime. How
they worked it out is told by the edi.
tor, Paul U. Kellogg, in the October
issue, which is the flrst to be publish
ed in The Surveys new size:
Now, revolution has its flags, but
evolution is slow to develop signs and

crystalized. Take the field of public
health. There is the wand of Aescu-

pestle, the scalpel, are symbols Of the
old days Of cure rather than OF the
new days of prevention. They are
scarcely more in keeping with the spir-
it Of modern hygiene than would be
the skull and cross bones on pill box.

OCTOBER EVE.
All day I've wandered on the lonely
shore,
And now the shadows fall;
Above the gloomy breakers sullen
The curfews call;
"A graceful sea-gull slowly wheels
above,
With noisy, shrilling joy;
a little saIdpip pauses, chances up,
Then scurries by.
I wonder where the happy people are
Who lately thronged the place;
Eager, watch and wait for just one
glimpse
or kindly face;
But no one comes, and you, who would
not trust
Tour happiness to me,
Are far away from this lone stretch
of sand
And restless sea.
sometimes start, and think | hear
your voice
Calling across the sands
d almost see your tender smile again.
And touch your hands.
"a year ago you held me in your arms
Upon this selfsame shore;
How bright Remembrance keeps the
happy past,
The days of yore!
The curfews and the sandpip and the
gull
Have found, each one his mate;
The twilight's shadows fold about fail
night
Who walks in state;
The ocean woos the shore; one faith
full star
Follows the moons flight, drear,
Lonely an /. Hark! Boatmen call afa1
And you are here.

MASTER FISH WARDEN
CLANTON EXONERATED
Special Investigation Committee of
Legislature Finds That There
Was No MiSmanngement,

Senator Butler and Senator Smith
of Josephine, and Representatives
Handley and Barton in a special COM
mittee report to the senate yester-
day afternoon eXonerated Master Fish
Warden Clanton, after having car
ried on an investigation of conditions
at the Bonneville hatchery. Repre-
sentative Pierce, who also a member
Of the committee, did not sign the re-
port, claiming that an investigation
was unwarranted He is favorable to
Clanton, however, and commends his
work.
The report follows in part:
THAT we have investigated the
Bonneville fish hatchery, located at
Bonneville, Oregon, and have careful
~ investigated the charges which
have been made against the manage
ment of said fish hatchery and the
members Of the board of game and
fish commissioners, and find that said
charges have not been sustained We
have given hearings in order that tes,
timony might be produced tending to
prove said charges, and the only def
mite charges that have been made
were the charges made by Represen-
tatives Gill and Schubel that the con-
crete work in the fish ponds Of said
hatchery we're faulty, but that said
representatives merely gave said
statements as their opinions and not
as experts, and that there was Nc
evidence introduced to corroborate
their statements and charges in that
respect.
1--WE further find that some fish
have been lost, but that the same was
not due to any fault or mismanage-
ment on the part of the board of fish
and game commissioners, or fish war
. den, r. p, Clanton,
I'VE further find that said fisi
hatchery has been managed in al
} economical and businesslike way ant
manner and whatever fault ther,
may be in the construction of the con
crete work Of said fish ponds wa,
only such as might happen under an
ordinary circumstances, and that tn
} board of fish and game commission
= ers and the said fish warden are IL
no way to blame for same, and tina
if any fault exists in said construc
, tion, the cost Of repairing the sam
is insignificant, and

STOMACH MISERY

HEARTBURN, GAS, DYSPEPSIA
AND ALL STOMACH DISTRESS
ENDED WITH "PAPE'S DIAPEP-
SIN"
You don't want slow remedy when
your stomach is bad-or an uncertain
one-orla harmful one-your stomach
is too valuable; you mustn't injure it
with drastic drugs.
Papes Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; it's harmless
ness; its certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
Itc millions of cures in indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach
trouble has made it famous the world
over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep it handy-get a large
fifty-cent case from any drug store
and then If any one should eat some
thing which doesn't agree with them
II what they eat lays like lead, fer
ments and sours and forms gas; caus-
es headache, dizziness and nausea;
eructations of acid and undigested
food-remember as soon as Pape's
Diapepsin comes in contact with the
stomach all such distress vanishes. Its
promptness, certainty and ease in ov-
grooming the worst stomach disorders
is a revelation to those who try 1t.
