FILTH AND THE FLY.
MoraI-cIean UP on cleanup day.

MeraI-cIean UP on cleanup day.
THE New York state board Of
health has Issued an earnest
appeal to all good citizens to
swat the fly" and thus help to
kill of what u not only q pest. but an
actual menace to life.
After pointing out how flies transmit
disease Of a deadly nature the health
authorities urge the need of preventing
their breeding by preventing tho aceu.
mutation Of rubbish and dirt and %.
peeiaIIy by keeping all garbage in
carefully covered receptacIes.
The board Of health publishes also
several trite aphorisms, culled from
various sources. among which are
these:
lies eyer Qwatti"s
] 18th ] lies thickness
1t is better to screen the cradle and
wear a smile than scoff at the precau-
ton and wear mourning.
Flies In the dining room usually pre-
cede nurses in the siclkroom.
Screens in the windows prevent grape
on the door.
Flies as we'll as bad water spread ty-
phoid.
A fly in the milk may mean a MEM
Der Of a family in the grave. ....
A fly has natural enemies: the most
persistent and most effective should be
man.
It costs less to buy a screen door
than to get sick and lay of for q
month.
: It's q short haul from the garbage
can to the dining table via the fly
route.

GENERAL SICKLES IN HISTORY
4is Notable Csrssr In War and In
Diplomatic Service.

t.is Notable csrssr In War and u
Diplomatic Service.
The late General Daniel q. Sickles
vas the last Of that galaxy Of corps
commanders who made possible tho
achievement of Grant and brought the
civil war to triumphant close. Fight
er. lawyer. politician and diplomat, his
life was crowded one.
At Charlottesville. commanding the
Third army corps, he was highly COM
mended for gallant conduct, and bis
courage and activity at Gettysburg are
matters Of history. All authorities &C.
cord him very important part in that
battle. some contending that his was
the master stroke that saved the day.
1t was ut Gettysburg that he lost leg.
In March. 1865. he was brevetted
major general Of the regular army for
bravery aud meritorious service at
Gettysburg. He was mustered out Of
the service Jan. l. 1868. and was plac.
ed on the retired list with the full rank
Of major general April IA. 1869.
In the spring Of 1860 President
Grant appointed him United States
minister to Spain. post which he re-
tanned until March 20. 1874.
At the court Of Spain Sickles became
a dominating figure. Four years Of
brilliant diplomacy brought him the
title. 1.-THE Yankee King Of SPAIN"
While in Madrid he married the
present Mrs. Sickles. who was Senior
ita Carmina Creagh. daughter Of a
Spanish councillor Of state. He was
estranged from her for twenty-nine
years until his last illness.
In 1859 General Sickles shot dead in
Washington Philip Barton Key. son
of the author Of THE Star Spangled
Banner" The trouble was over the
first Mrs. Stckles. She had been Ter.
esq Bagili. beautiful daughter Of an
Italian music teacher. His trial
which lasted twenty days. ended in
acquittal. the defense being temporary
alteration of mind. This was the
first case In which that plea was set
up as defense. After his acquittaI
Sickles took his wife back.

Flies Breed In Filth.

IF at first you don't succeed swat,
swat again.!
A mild winter and spring pre-
sage the early arrival Of our bitterest
enemies - flies - in vastly increased
numbers. Immediate, well directed eff.
forts must be put forth II the threat
ening dangers are to be minimized.
The time to fight flies is before they
become flies-when In the egg or when
they are maggots.
The problem Of elimination Of flies
is one Of elimination Of filth. No filth,
no flies.
Flies breed in filth, play on flth, eat
filth and distribute filth-the filthiest
kind Of filth too. II we do away with
the breeding places of flies there will
be no flies.
Therefore the way to swat flies now
is to clean up the fly breeding filth.
Clean up, keep clean and see that
your neighbors keep likewise, and you
will have few, il any, flies to contend
with. OF course have your swatter
ready for the first arrivals

SHAKESPEARE PORTRAITS

Charles Douville Coburn who willie
bead tho Coburn Players here on
June / and 2, makes the remarkable
statement that, although several thous.
and portraits are in existence bearing
Shakespeare's name, only two can be
accepted as genuine.
Mr.. Coburn has been engaged in
tracing Shakespeare's portraits, hop
ing to find some grain among the
chaff, but he finds that none except
two can claim any degree Of unques-
toned certainty. ..
Of the many portraits there are
some not unlike him, but excellent por-
traits Of somebody else. There are
others localized, some of unknown per-
sons capable Of being faxed into some
resemblance and others which are
frauds upon the public with or with
out mercenary ideas. Many leaders
in art have supported as genuine
spurious and fabricated portraits
which few years ago were not in
existence.
While in England last August, Mr..
and Mrs. Coburn visited an eminent
Shakespearean scholar who spoke Of
a great Shapespearean renaissance
that had led to many queer requests;
among them was the demand, in or.
der to know more Of what kind Of
man Shakespeare was, to have his
grave opened. The promoters of this
scheme claimed that 1t would be no
more Of a dissertation than in the case
Of Schiller, Of Charles I, Of Sweden
berg and others. None, however,
have dared to face the doggerel of the
Shakespearean curse which has kept
his body out Of Westminster Abbey:
Good Friend, for Jesus sake forebeare
To dig the dust enclosed heare,
Blesse be We man vt spares thes stones,
And curst be he vt moves my bones.

so arranged that any one guilty Of
such vandalism would be Immediately

Nowhere IL the contrast between tho
comparative ability Of this country and
Mexico to 60 to war more striking than
in the condition Of their finances, says
the New York Times. The Huerta

possibility for raising any considerable
sum Of money. With the country

Mexico could finance anything but

The United States, on the other hand.
could raise funds for an extensive
campaign and could afford to spend
whatever sums were required to put .
fully equipped and largely augmented
army into the field for long stay. The
Spanish war showed with what facili.
ty the machinery IT this government
can be set to work to increase the rev.
enue and to provide for big loans.

Spain brought in total Of $3.50, O0O, 900

ton. That avenue Is Of course open to-
congress now. By means of changes In
the income tax it would be possible to-
raise almost any sum likely to be de-
cided upon. Neither Of these measures
would add to the country's Indebted
ness and could be repealed when the
war bills were paid In addition TO-
these sources, the government has now
the right to offer $240, 100000 Of Pana-
ma bonds and $500 100000 Of certif-

small working balance Of the treasury
