THE Kent County Levy Court only
did an act Of justice to the travelling pub
lie when it this week made a special ap-
preparation to make temporary repairs to
the long causeway at the south side of
Frederica. That third of mile of high
way has been dangerous all summer, and
certainly will not stand the winter traffic
over it without some serious accident
resulting.

PREVENTION OF DISEASE.
BY Karl Langenbeck.

Cholera, foot rot, yer min, visible and
microscopic, yield to asepsis and the best
all around antiseptic is white wash. If
you have put away good lump lime in
tight barrels from your last shipment,
and kept it from air-slakeing, as explain
ed in previous article. use it when you
have an off day in rainy weather. Put a
couple of big Jumps in bucket, pour on
the Jumps only SO much water as they
vi i'll drink in, and then let them stand
until tie lime gets hot and steams and
then falls to dry powder. If the lime
does MT heat readily, and some lines do
not, use hot or boiling water to slake it.
Then fill the bucket with enough cold
water so as to make thin milk with the
fine slaked lime. Brush down the walls
of the animal stalls, the pig pen, chicken
house and sweep the floors we'll. Spray
all we'll with the lime milk, or dash it on
with an old broom. Then, sprinkle all
the floors with litter. The lime does its
work at once when it is in the caustic
condition. After several days, it is mere
ly harmless white cover. So, when
you clean up again, you must renew the
lime treatment, even if the walls still
look white and fresh, for new germs hav e
again developed everywhere even on the
white walls.

Fires Affect Stream Flow.

Residents of Wallace, Idaho, now
claim that results of the disastrous
forest fires in northern Idaho in 1910
are being made evident in the chang
ed flow from watershed then burn
ed over, which furnishes the water
supply of the city. This basin in
cluded an area of approximately two
thousand acres and was formerly we'll
timbcrcd with trees from 80 to POO
years old. These were almost wholly
destroyed by fire in 1910. From
this watershed the city gets its sup
ply not only for domestic purposes,
but also for the development of cleo
tricity for power and light, so that
the maintenance of considerable
flow is essential to the city.
1t is stated that before the fires the
flow of the stream at its lowest stages
was never below one thousand miners
inches, the unit of measurement used {.
But since the fire, the records show
that the minimum flow has fallen to
about $50 miners inches and it is
now necessary for the company fur
nishing water, light and power to
expend a considerable amount of
money each year in developing power
from steam and to use considerable
part of this power in pumping water.
Records of the weather bureau at
Wallace show that the precipitation
for the years since the fire has been
about normal for the region. This
seems to demonstrate to the towns
people that the uncavenness in the
flow must be due to the destruction
of the forest cover of the watershed
and not to any change in climate or
precipitation.
In view of the situation, the forest
service of the United States Agricult.
ural department has undertaken to
reforrest the denuded watershed.
Some planting has already been done.
The experts of the department, how
eveI, point out that the planting will
probably have no immediate effect,
yet it should influence run off as soon
as forest conditions are restored, and
reestablish eventually a more stable
stream flow.

Nav Extend Trolley Line.

According to statements in the Fred
erick Daily papers, it looks as if the
Hagerstown and Frederick Railway Com
pany intends to extend its lines in the
near future.
From this place it is thought the road
will be extended to Emmitsburg, and
likely the road from Jefferson to Bruins
wick will be commenced this summer.
No doubt the road from Thnrmont to
Emmitsburg, if built, will be paying
one in the way of carrying passengers.
The country is very thickly settled and
the traffic derived along the line would
be greatly increased by students at Mt.
St. Mary's College.
We believe the people between Thur
mont and Emmitsburg are anxiously
awaiting the building of the road.

A FavOrite Resting Place.

The siding along the Hagerstown 4
Frederick Railway known as Isanogle's,
seems to be favorite resting place for
trolley cars sent as specials from Fred
erick to Thurmont. Several weeks ago
on the occasion of the school demonstra-
rion at Frederick, three cars remained
on this siding long enough to cause part
of the Thurmont, Creagerstown and Fox
vile schools miss the parade. On last
Saturday we are told that the special
car bringing the Yellow Springs Band to
Thurmont was placed on this siding until
freight car could pass. The band did
not get to Thurmont until after the pa
rade was well on the way to the U. B.
cemetery. On Tuesday the special from
Frederick carrying the fire engine for the
Creagerstown fire was delayed at this
favorite place by another ear jumping
the rail while entering the switch.
We would suggest that shade trees be
planted at this place to protect the cars
thus resting at this sunny spot.

THE CLARION desires it to be distinct
ly understood that it is not responsible
for the views and opinions expressed in
letters appearing under this head.
The residents of East Main street APP
peal to the Town Commissioners to give
them proper street facilities. Since last
fall we have had nothing but mud all
winter without crossings, and now moth
ing but dust from the dried up mud, and
unless we soon have some redress we re-
fuse to pay town taxes in the future. If
we are compelled to chew this dust until
next fall when they propose to put on
the ground stone covering, there will not
be many left to pay taxes. We want to
see the work done at once.

Planning for Electric Current.

Due to the fact that Hunting Creek
does not furnish water sufficient to run
the machinery which generates electric
current for lighting purposes during dry
periods of the year, the Town Commits
sioners are planning to either put an
auxiliary power plant at the power house
or make a contract with the Frederick
and Hagerstown Railway Company to
furnish the current when needed. A
meeting was held in Town Hall Tuesday
evening, representative of the Railway
Company being present. Thus far moth
ing definite has been decided upon.

Warning Against Dangerous
Preserving Powders and Can
ming Compounds Used BY The
Housewife.

The attention of the department
has recently been called to the wide
spread use, especially in rural com
munities, of salicylic acid in putting
up preserves. The head of large
drug and chemical supply house states
that people living in southwest Nir-
ginia, North and South Carolina,
kentucky, Tennessee, and western
Georgia have been purchasing salicyl-
ic acid in one fourth pound packages
for number of years and that this
practice has grown to an enormous
extent. This dealer states further
that only few weeks ago he received
an order from one wholesale grocer
for so gross of these goods.
The department is aware that this
practice is not confined to salicylic
acid under it's own name alone, but
that large quantities of this acid, and
of horic acid as we'll, are sold unccr
fanciful names as preserving powders
or canning compounds at prices which
are much in excess of their real value.
In the directions for use the house
wife is told to fill the jar with the
fruit "r vegetables, cover with water,
and add tcaspoonful of the powder.
1t is true that these powders may pre-
vent the decay of the fruit or vcgr-
table, but they also encourage I'M
cl,anly or careless work, and their
excessive use may be attended with
very serious effects upon the health.
Salicylc acid is medicine of the
greatest value in acute articular rhru-
natism and certain other diseases
1t is well known as n poisonous sub
stance, and one Of the evils which
may accompany its use is dcrangc'
mcnt Of the digestion. 1t is, there
fore, plain that its extensive use III
food may lead to disturbance of iii,
grstion and health.
1t is entirely practicable to put w
both fruits and vegetables in such a
manner that, if not opened, they will
keep indefinitely, by Sterilizing the
products 10y means of heat, and There
is no excuse for running any risk by
using preserving powders. The De.
partmcnt Of Agriculture has ISSUED
the following Farmers Bulletins ON
canning and preserving:
+. b. 2O3. Canned Fruit, Pre-
serves, and ,Jcllics.
i. Is. 359. Canning Vegetable, il
the Home.
+. b. 52l. Canning Tomatoes at
Home and in Club Work.
| These bulletins, which may be OBJ
tanned without cost 10y applying tc
the division of publications of the
department, give exact directions for
canning and preserving foods without
the use of preserving powders or can
ming compounds.

ITALIANS MAY
 JOIN IN WAR People of Rome Demanding That Italy Enter the Fight and Se- cure Austrian Provinces.

LONDON, Sept. 18.-The Italian government has about completed the mobilization of its army and all re. servists in Italy are now with the colors. Italian reservists in this country have been notified that they must report at once for duty and this is taken as an indication that Italy will soon enter the fight with the allies against the Austrian-Ger- man forces.
 Mobs in Rome are parading the streets cheering for France and Eng land and demanding that Italy take a part in the war against the hated Austrians, who have been the tradi- tional enemies of the Italian speaking provinces on the Adriatic Sea.
 It is believed here that should Italy join the Triple Eentente Greece and Roumania are certain to do so and that Turkey and Bulgaria may enter the fight for Germany. The armies of all the nations mentioned are pre- pared for the war, having been mobil- ized for weeks.
