GENERAL CARRANzA ORDERS THE PORT OF. VERA CRUZ CLOSED
Washington Officials Do Not COnstrue Act as Atti- tude of Resentment To-
 ward Occupation of Port

Washington, August 31.-Proyisionsl port Of Vera Cruz closed, according to official ndviccs to the American gov ernment. General Funston Transmitted a long report on the complications which might result. but state dcpnrt- ment officials were not inclined to reg gard it unfriendIy action.
 During the Huerta regime Vera Cruz was similarly closed but foreign ves- sells paid little attention to the order. Carranzas decree would prevent Mex ican ships from putting in at Vera Cruz and, if enforced in an unfriendIy way, might exact heavy penalties from foreign vessels entering any other Mexican port after they touched at Vera Cruz. General Funston called at tention to the possibility that foreign ship owners desiring not to incur the displeasure of the Carranza administra- ton might hesitate to send cargocs to Vera Cruz, diminishing the food supply of the city
 Attitude of Resentment
 In some quarters there was d disposi- tion to regard Carranzas attitude as one of resentment against the contin- ued occupancy of Vera Cruz by Ameri- can troops, ibut state department of fcials did not share this view. An in terruption in railway traffic between Vera Cruz and Mexico City recently oc- cured. but as soon as General Funs- ton announced he would keep all roll ing stock in Vera Cruz until traffic was resumed. the Mexican authorities explained that they were using sthe trains to transport troops and imme diately adjusted the schedules

Flies breed in dirt, chiefly in sta
BILE manure. After Matching. they
live in and on dirt. Dirt, especially
that composed of human waste,
swarms with bacteria, and many
kinds of bacteria cause disease.
Such are typhoid fever and diar,
rhoea, which are typically summer
diseases.
If You have either of these, that
fact is almost conclusive proof
that You have swallowed human
waste.
The hy was the carrier, perhaps.
From the cess-pool, or vault, or
dirt pile, he brought those germs to
your food Or drink.
If your baby sickens and dies of
summer complaint, it is very
probable that the germs in its deli
cate stomach and intestines were
brought by your housetiies.
That baby's sickness and death
could have been prevented. This is
how:
l. If you have no sewer conuec-
ton. install a septic tank. 1t costs
from s25 to $50, will last forever,
practically runs itself, saves the doc
tors bills, and saves the doctor's
bills. and saves the babies.
Send to US for free directions,
plans, estimates, etc.
.. Keep the premises clean. re-
memberinG that almost always it is
human dirt that causes human dis
ease.

lowing, developed and tried out in

SureSt:
Sour milk. one quart; formalin,
two tableSpoonfuls. Formalin costs
about 70 cents a quart at the drug
store.
Use watering pot or sprinkler.
Early in the morning, when the flies
are hungry, sprinkle this solution
over floors, tables, sills, or wherev
er flies light. Ninety-nine per cent

Used in this way, formalin is alb
solutely safe. Should few drops
fall into food, it would do no harm.
Keep the bottle of formalin away
from children.
One teaspoonful Of formalin to a
pint of water makes the most eff
fective germicide known. Wash out
your sinks, bath tubs and ice boxes
with it.

Be Friendly With Your Boy.

Be friendly with that boy Of yours
Be comradely and kind,
Go walking with him. nov and then
And leave yourself behind;
| mean that Grabbed, grouchy self
You areso apt to wear,
That made the people cristen you,
THAT old sore-headed bear.
Lay down your worries now and then
And give your mind rest,
Become crony of your boys
And go of fun in quest;
You need not "can dog, of course,
Orraid melon patch,
Just have him bring his base ball out
AMI play game of catch.
Show interest in what he does
And what he talks about,
When he has healthy fun on hand
Go and help him out;
A word from you will cheer him up
And you will find it true, =
That what will help the boy along
Is also good for you.
You need his youthful buoyancy
To help your age along,
He needs your fund of common sense
To make him firm and strong:
When each can help the other, then.
(You must concede the fact)
If you would do your duty, man,
Why, go ahead and act.
Unbend that rusty dignity
And be a boy awhile,
1t will not crack your face, | guess
To timber up and smile:
Yours is full of canker-worms,
You need dose of fun,
Try just to laugh one little laugh,
/ And see the devil run.
Your wife will smie-I know she will
Your boy will fairly shout.
Ii you will only call halt
And turn yourself about;
Become father and friend
And clothe your home in joy,
By learning how to be, in truth,
A crony with your boy.

Studies Garbage System.

Mrs. Flora Spiegelberg Of Riverside,
New York, has begun a campaign for
the dustless and sanitary collection OF
ashes and garbage. She has complete
data Of the methods Of handling ashes
and garbage in $50 cities in Germany,
where the work is so we'll done that
neither the ashes nor the garbage are
exposed to the air from the time they
leave the basement Of the house un-
til they reach the i~ncinerating plant.
She says the present system in New
York is simply terrible. Shc says that
when ashes are mixed with garbage
It helps to make the latter more sant-
tary.
