The American Association for La
Dor Legislation proposes as a part of
its legislative program for 1913 the
prevention of lead poisoning in the
country. The associations journal,
The Review, shows the remedy for
lead poisoning to be as simple as the
evils it will combat are complex, and
that there is no need for costly and
I long experiments as there were with
/ phosphorus poisoning. Cleanliness OF
workrooms and workers, the use OF
! hoods and exhausts to eliminate fume
and lead dust will do what they have
| done in England and Europe, and
what is being done today in Illinois
according 20 the Review. The asso
citation will also endeavor to revise
the federal employees compensation
/ act and secure a six day week fol-
working people by law in the interest
OF the reducing of accidents.

st. Joe, but rain spoiled this plan. If
they had been used yesterday Benz

Sox pitchers who have had a good
rest, each is in top condition and has
pitched winning ball this spring, and
each wants the honor of chucking the

1t is hard matter to decide, but
the general belief among the players
was that Benz would have the call.

put into the hands of Democrats.

things with which we had grow,
familiar, and which had begun to
creep into the very habit of our
thought and of our lives, have alter

looked critically upon them, with
fresh, awakened eyes; have dropped
their disguises and shown themselves
alien and sinister. Some new things
as we look frankly upon them, will

into our own life.

DR.. L. A. Riser, of the State board
of health, is in Union and has be-
gun an active campaign against
hookworm. There are to be five
points of operation in the county, viz:
Santuc, Jonesville, Lockhart, Cross
Keys and Union which is the central
point from which the work will
be pushed. Each point is to be visit
ed one day in each week and all the
work is free. DR.. Riser will be here
for six weeks and urges the coopera-
tion of the physicians, teachers and
any one else Interested
Consult your family physician and
he will tell you how the examinations
are to be made. All work is done
by microscope.
One of the main objects which is
aimed at is improvement in rural
sanitation.
So far, in this work in different
portions of the State, the lowest per-
centage found was Is, while the
highest percentage was sc.
1t is to be hoped that this work will
receive the hearty cooperation of the
people. 1t is a great work and the
results accomplished elsewhere has
demonstrated the value to the COM
munities in which it has been done.

Indiana as it's vice president; De-
mocracy as the vehicle of this destiny.
Under the dome of the nations cap

concourse of his fellow citizens, the

clouds and pronounced the occasion a
day of dedication, not of triumph.

members of his chosen cabinet sur
rounding him, the justices of the su-
preme court before him, his wife and
daughters actually dancing for joy Oh

Howard Taft, ex-president of the ma,

While the presidents concluding
inaugural words were tossing in tu-
multous waves of applause, the re-
tiring president clasped his hand and
enlisted as a patriotic servant in the
ranks of private citizenship.
"Mr. President" said Mr.. Taft, his
face beaming with smile, "I wish
you a successful administration and
the carrying out of your aims. We
will all be behind you"
"Thank you," said President VIII

him, shouted hearty greeting that

Sharp his tongue and sharp his eyes:
Sammy guards against surprise.

I could do no work today.
When Sammy overheard Paddy the
Beater say that to Jerry Muskrat it
made him swell up all over with pure
pride. You see Sammy is so used to
hearing bad things about himself that
to hear something mic like that
tickled him almost to death. He
st%raightway forgot all the near things
he had said to Paddy when he first
saw him-how he. had called him a
thief because he had cut the aspen
trees he needed. FIe forgot all this.
Hc forgot how Paddy had made him
the laughing stock of the Green For
est and h Green Meadows by cut
ting down the very tree in which he
was sitting. He forgot everything but
that Paddy had trusted him to keep
watch and now was saying nice things
about him. He made up his mind
that he would deserve all the nice
things that Paddy could say, and he
thought that Paddy was the finest fell
low in the world.
Jerry Muskrat looked doubtful. He
didn't trust Sammy and he took care
not to go from the water when he
heard that Old Man Coyote had been
hanging around. But Paddy worked
away Just as if he hadn't a fear in
the world.
