DIR. Burnett has recently disposed of
his farm in this county and is now on a

One Cent a Day for Health.

Every one has been interested in the won.
derful work being done in Panama in the con.
s%truction of the canal. Startling as Lave been
the results Of the work of the engineers and
builders, the work of the Sanitary Department
has been even more wonderful. In a regioh
noted as the most unhealthful in the world. in
which our predecessors, the French, were un-
able to succeed because they were unable to
keep the workers alive, American Army Sur
geons, by the use of scientific facts known to
all, have succeeded in lowering the death-rate
among American residents far below that Of
our most favored American communities. Ac-
cordlng to Colonel Gorgas, the chief sanitary
ottlcer OF the Canal Zone, who recently discuss
ed this question in The Journal of the Au,eri-
can Medical Association, the death rate for
1911 among l0,4S9 Americans was only 4. 48 nor
Thousand. While this result has been mainly
due to the control of yellow fever and malaria.
and while 1t is true that the American popula-
ton consisted of picked individuals, largely of
educated men and women in the prime of life.
yet even with all these conditions recognized
the record IS a remarkable one, and is prohahlv
without a rival. All of this, says Colonel Cor
gas, has been accomplished at an expense
averaging one cent per day for each individual.
II this result can be secured at this cost in the
center of a tropical jungle, what wonld not a
similar expenditure do for our American cities?
One cent a day is what the average American
pays for a daily newspaper. 1t is one-6fth the
cost OF one %flve-cent cigar. 1t is one-ffiffth the
price OF a daily street car ride. It is one-ffth
the price Of admission to a moving picture show
1t is one-ffth of what we pay for a glass Of
SOFA water or a package Of chewing gum. Who
would say that the expenditure of this amount
be any burden to this rich and extraya-
giant nation? And yet it is the cost of life
ltseif. is one cent a day too much to pay to
protect the life and health of an American

How to Get Rid of the House, Fly.

The fly is a nuisance beside being d carrier Of
infectious diseases, and the attempt to extern.
mate it needs no justification. How one car
make ones home, town or city fyless is describ.
ed by {. +. Hodge of Clark University, Worces-
ter, Mass. he says that the American public
spends $50, 600, 900 a year for window and door
screens in a futile attempt to exclude a lively
insect which insists on getting into the house
every time the doors are opened. He believes
also that the method Of sWatting the flies, using
lily paper or indoor traps or poisons is i%neffect-
i've, but may help. His method is to make use
in various ways of the conical wire mesh trap,
which is familiar to almost everyone, in such a
way as to turn the tables on the flies and put
them in Jail and let ourselves out" The plan
involves, Of course, the abolition as far as DOS
slble OF all breeding and feeding places for hvs
and the application of the fly trap mentioned
above to the garbage can, to the screens on
windows, to the covers on manure bins, etc.. all
OF which can be done by little mechanical in
genuity. Garbage cans are on the market
Which have a cover larger than the can and not
fitting down closely on it so that the flies gain
access to the can under the cover and ESCAPE
through a hole in the cover over which is fixed
a fly trap. In fighting the fly, Hodge has found
that the essentials of a successful campaign are
to transfer the fight against the fly from the
house to outdoors, and then to exterminate it.
Another essential feature in a town or city is
that households must cooperate. One ignorant
or careless home can breed enough flies to vitiate
the best endeavors Of a whole town, Hodge has
succeeded in his neighborhood in practically
eliminating flies; he uses no screens in windows
or doors and can sit outdoors or have windows
or doors open at any time without molestation.
AS flies begin to breed in the spring and as they
breed with marvellous rapidity, the time to ar
range for a fly campaign is in the winter.

sometimes all Of the family clothing. The old
days OF homespun clothing, however, seemed to
nave passed away, the modern wooden factory

SATURDAY, APRIL IS, 1912.
Wonan's Labor Exchange in Holland

The avidiCy with which women seek employ
ment in the industrial world is commanding con-
siderable attention everywhere. The possibility
of great abuses in the employment of women
has led the municipality of Amsterdam, Hol-
land, to organize a municipal labor bureau for
women. It has only been organized three years
and yet has accomplished so much and its SER
vices are in such great demand that in order to
carry on the work there are now employed a
director and her nine assistants, also women,
and they can scarcely cope with the increasing
business Of the exchange.
The Bureau is divided up into various de-
partments, such as shoemakers, servants, extra
helpers and various other occupations and now,
more recently, there has been organized a de-
p%artrnent for stenographers, type writer's, clerks
etc.
That the women of Holland are availing of
the advantages Of this bureau is manifested by
the statement that l,192 girls found employ
ment through its control in January 1912 and
this year, 1913, in the same month, 1,755 girls
were so placed. Altogether in 1912 there were
1921 women who found employment through
This bureau.
No fee is charged for the service rendered
by the bureau and all necessary advice and as
sistance to working women is freely given at all
times. Being under the control of the state as
this is, it is manifest that its operations are just
as legitimate as are any of the great depart
ments Of modern government covering the con-
troll and investigation of commerce, labor or any
other phase of governmental control outside of
military matters, which in modern government
is a sine qua non. q
If modern industrial life takes from the
women all of those special occupations c%ontroll-
ed or utilized by them formerly, it is certainly
essential that the government should give
women workers Of all kinds special protection
and adequate control, and in this Holland now
seems to be a leader among the nations.
