and donkeys were the moving power
of all vehicles.
And you must remember how much
more prevalent insects of all kinds
were in those days.
You must remember how Uttered
were the streets, and how swarms of
insects followed in the wake of all this
litter. Out in country places it was
the same; and where there were no
street cleaners, and around farm
houses, where the people were too
busy with their compelling labors to
tidy up the yards, most unhygienic
conditions existed.
Aside from the elimination of the
animal in labor. there comes the cast
ing of oil on the troubler ways of
dust.
Many country homes, giving on pub
lie thoroughfares, which were almost
uninhabitable in dry seasons by the
clouds of dust which passing vehicles
raised, are made comfortable and free
from such annoyances by the oiled
streets, which have come as a result
of automobile needs.
Not only does oil lay the dust, but
it helps eliminate the mosquito.
That insect cannot abide the
thought of the Standard oil, or any
other oil.
The trust does not trouble him so
much as the odor.

EARLY LAYING STOCK
DOES NOT GET BIG
Pullets Cease to Grow if They De-
velop Too Early, Says
Telegraph Expert

Each succeeding year more poultry
keepers strive to bring their pullets
into laying at a very early age
poultrymen who succeeds in having a
pullet produce at an age of four and
one-half or five months feels war
ranted in doing some Growing about
it.
If the laying stock is to be kept
only one year and then sold of Tor
meat, there is probobly economy in
forcing early laying but right here
the practice should stop. Stock that
is sooner % later to be used for
breeding purposes should be kept
apart from the utility flock and the
treatment of the two lots should be
different, perhaps from the day of
Matching.
1t will be found that the pullet
which starts to Law at an early age,
and the cockerel that develops early
in life, rarely if ever make the re-
liable breeders that are needed to
perpetuate the desirable qualities in
poultry. Early development means
premature physical deterioration.
The pullets that starts to lay early
cease to grow. The great strain on
the productive and reproductive
organs unfit them for long life and
for heavy continued egg production.
They may make a record the first
year but if so the best part of their
life is over.
The cockerel that develops early
and commences to crow usually
proves to be a small boned, small
framed bird. and though he may
prove a sure breeder, does not per
petuate the qualities wanted amo1g
the heavier breeds, namely, size,
frame and bone.
Like the colt that is put to work
at two years of age he fails to make
proper and normal development.
The pullets of the heavier breeds,
if to be used for breeding at any
time, should not begin to lay until
eight or nine months old and the
cockerels should keep growing for
nearly a year 1t is best that pulllets
do not begin to redden up about the
comb and whattles until they have
reached standard weight, built from
the ground up, wide of back, deep
breasted and legs wide apart.
If market production is the only
object, get the pullets going early
but if the birds are to reproduce
quality. look to the proper develop
ment of the breeding stock. Not
only should there be no deterioration;
there should be improvement from
year to year.

Sanitation is the only common
sense, logical. scientific method of
preventing disease.
sanitation has abolished many dis
eases in many communities.
Sanitation is mans application of
natures methods of disposing of the
the waste products of the processes of
life, intensified and quickened. pro-
ducing in a short time results for
which nature requires indefinite time,
VIZ; the breaking up of organized or
ganic matter into its original Lavoi-
serian elements.
Let us have sanitation in its true
sense, forgetting the fads, follies
prejudices. Inconsistencies. ignorance
and foolishness, and we shall soon get
rid of the flies. for then there will
be nothing for them to do, and, incl
dentally, the majority of the doctors
will be in the same fix as the fly
True, there have been great ad-
Vances in preventing and treating dis
eases. BUT THESE ADVANCES
ARE DUE TO SANITARY SCIENCE,
and have no relation to the Germ
Theory of Disease" except as falsely
credited thereto. The history of these
years proves the statement.
II. Hitchcock, NJ. D.
90 we can understand how our
modern inventions are helping the
cause of sanitary science. With all
the noise, and the unpleasant odors
and the accidents which accompany
the automobile, it has been a Won
derful factor in cleaning up the world.
And as we read Dr. Hitchcocks
words. we ought to realize how i'm
portant it is to keep in touch with
Gods second next law to Goodness
the law of cleanliness.
Clean thoughts, clean words. clean
bodies, clean homes. clean cities and
country places, mean HEALTH.
Disease cannot exist where all
things within and without are
CLEAN.
Instead of losing our heads over
fool fads. and medicine fads and op-
Grafton fads and serum fads, let us
keep our heads and KEEP CLEAN.

To Overcome the Effect of catarrh.
Catarrh, a frequent cause for bad
breath, is often overcome by the system

porkance of this and from the time they
brush their teeth by themselves they
should wash out the nostrils night and
morning with soapy water. inhaling lit

feet cleanliness of the nasal passages is
the best protection against head colds

the breath is not tainted with an odor

The causes Of constipation are 30 many
and vary 30 with the individual that 1t Is
difficult to go into this subject beyond
pointing out some of the usual causes
and the simpler methods of prevention.
Nervousness. a sedentary life. eating too
concentrated food and lack Of exercise are
the most common causes for this trouble,
and they can all be overcome by some
change in the manner of living.
Eat Food With Bulk.
II we regard food simply from the
standpoint OF how much nourishment 1t
produces, we would discard many items
common on the table today and which are
rightly regarded as necessary to good
health. Beef, eggs. bread with a certain
amount OF sugar contain all that IL neces-
sary for nutritive purposes. but to keep
the body in good working condition bulk
should be added to this regime. This

sufficiently active lives to properly digest

the best bulk supplier and should be eaten
daily In some form, fresh or stewed.
Apples pears, grapes and oranges which
contain much water are particularly use
full in this connection. Figs have q dis
tinct laxative value.

regularly with an appropriately arranged
diet will generally effect permanent
cure.
A tendency towards fermentation not
necessarily due to constipation is often
checked by adding a pleEtiful supply Of
buttermilk and cheese to the diet Fer

Some cases of constipation come from
lack of fat in the diet. Those who do
not eat fat meat should supplement this

REVISION OF

ISNEW PLAN
Vorbeck Says Changes Should
be Made IN Schedule Of
Rents.

revision of the water rates of
the city so as to make them more
equitable to all householders, is Com
missioner Vorbeck's method of set
Ting the problem of revenue from
the water system. He stated this
morning that while more income
must be secured from water rents in
order to properly maintain the sys-
TEN and pay off maturing bonds, he
did not think that the poorer class of
people ought to have to stand the
increase.
There should be a larger charge
for man with a bungalow. fifty
foot lawn. toilet, lavatory and so on
than for the fellow with a gooseneck
hydrant in his yard said Mr.. Vor-
beck.
Other commissioners favor the in
stallation of water meters while
there is some talk of meeting the in
debtedness with a tax levy on prop
erty.

appears to be most popular.
