The Keep Wells have asked the
question: Why should not the
knowledge of the Washington physi-
clans. gained from the actual prac-
tice of medicine and not from books.
be utilized. as much as possible for
the benefit of the people of Wash
ington?"
The medicinal profession approves
Of giving knowledge. in a public
way. TO the people.
It is the profession above all
others which is required to do a great
deal of humanitarian work directly.
One of its purposes is to do away
with itself as much as possible. to
see that people keep well. so they
will not have to tall a physician.

therefore an effort il. popular pre-

bodies is of much more practical

FLY DESERVES NO FRIENDS
XII Him Without Mercy Wherever
You Find Him, ls EdIct That
Has Gone Forth.

The true cussedness of the 1y sell
dom shows forth till about this time
In the fall He is more numerous now
than before, and seems many times q
greater nuisance.
He haunts doors and windows,
watching for chance to slip inside.
He promenades over your face while
you are trying to get beauty sleep
In the morning. He comes from gar
bage can and stable to walk over
every uncovered bit Of food, and he
seems to take fiendish pleasure in
drowning himself in the milk pitcher.
The Chinaman who hates you bad
enough will kill himself on your door
step, so that his ghost may haunt you.
The fly loads himself with typhoid
germs and plunges to a milky grave
that he may start an Inflammation in
your Peyer's patches.
Fly swatting now is necessary, but
palliative. The buzzing pest is Of too
well growth to be destroyed. All that
can be done is to hold him in check,
starve him by covering all garbage
and stable litter, catch and kill him
when possible-and resolve to make
a more effective campaign against this
murderer of babies next spring.

.Analyzino a Volcano.

Members of the staff of the geophys.
ical laboratory Of the Carnegie insti-
tuition are studying the physics and
chemistry of active volcanoes at the
crater of Ki1auea in Hawaii. During
the summer Of 1912 these Investigators
descended into the crater and collect
ed gases directly from the lava. These
they sealed in glass tubes without let
ting the gases come in contact with
the air at all. They sent the tubes to
Washington. Besides taking samples
of liquid lava directly from the molten
lake the investigators studied the COM
position Of the non-gaseous matter in
the cloud of smoke above the volcano.
Since some authorities have believed
that there is no water in the material
emitted by volcanoes it is interesting
to notice that the geophysical labora-
tory workers condensed no less than
half pint Of water by cooling one of
the gases that they had taken directly
from the boiling lava.-Youth's Com
panion.

From Sail to Steam.

A Boston shipping company, once
devoted to many-masted schooners, is
now building on the Delaware its
sixth cargo steamer for the coal and
general coastwise trade. Two more
steamers of the same type have lately
been ordered from the Fore river yard
by an old and famous firm of sail.
ship owners. Steadily the coastwise
carrier is changing over to conform
with the machinery-driven ships that
do business on the great trade routes
of the world.
The disappearance of tall spars and
wind-flled canvas from our Atlantic
waters is regrettable Ola many ac.
counts, but it is as Inevitable as the
fight of time itself. For many years
the large first cost of a steel steam.
ship was barrier to investment, but
the increasing price of suitable tim.
ber for sail vessels and their relative.
ly short life have given steam an
ever-growing advantage. Moreover
modern commerce calls above all
things for regularity in delivery, and
It is the steam-driven ship that must
be depended on for. such punctual,
systematic service.

Silence and READING.

A notice enjoining Silence" Is set
up in the Free Library reading room,
where I found Mr.. Yoshio MARKINGS
delightful essay in the Nineteenth
Century on memory and imagina-
ton. He tells us of the Japanese
method of reading aloud. "The Japa-
nese scholars always like to read
books loudly, because they always
want to enjoy their ears as we'll as
their eyes," And it seems that the
Japanese method of reading books
and remembering them is to shout
them as they read. And there are
many Japanese scholars who prefer
reading the English books loudly,
too"
Our western etiquette enjoins ST.
lence in the reading room. The man
with the book or the paper in his
chair lLust take his stimulus or his
soporific mutely. The clubman who
starts and abuses his chance paper is
unpopular. Our western habit of 81.
lent reading suits US. If everybody
read aloud in the train or tram or on
the seashore-if every bank clerk
shrielled his figures as they were add.
ed in the bank books-we should prob
ably get confused.-London Chronicle.

Boston Man Writes Entertainineiy Of
the Early Days Before the Worth
of Natural Oil Was of Com
mon Knowledge.

Lately the Transcript published
news of a proposal to erect a monu-
ment to Edward L. Drake, who was
one of the earliest to strike oil In
Pennsylvania. It recalled incidents
Of my early life that may be OF in
terest to others. / have a letter writ
ten by a brother Of my mother from
Cannaught, Pa, in 1924; he was
contractor on one of the canals that
we're being constructed at that time.
He gives sketch of the times and
customs and tells of the various canals
being planned at that time, and con-
cludes by saying: "If all the canals are
built that are now projected, Pitts
burgh will become quite a CITY," Ow-
ing to this knowledge my uncle-Hen-
~ Burleigh Smith-obtained in this
work, he advised his brother-St. John
Smith-to go into the wild land specu-
lation that broke out about that time.
The firm (Smith & Brown of Portland,
Me.) had already dipped in pretty
deep by buying wild lands in eastern
Maine. However, they bought few
townships in what afterwards proved
to be the heart of the oil region. They
sent one of their friends, who had just
tailed in business, to look after the
property. His wife accompanied him,
and their life was of the most primi-
| tiye kind. Half flour barrel served
as a washtub; the broad stump of a
| tree was the bench. She wrote home
| to her friends that water was plenty
and very nice for washing, but there
was greasy scum on the top Of 1t In
| places" The German women told her
| to boil her clothes in such water-it
made them very white. The specula-

| their land in few years; scarcely was

had the comfort of not losing by their
transaction. If they had kept 1t 1t

His Stomach Troubles Over.

Mr.. Dyspeptic, would you not like
to feel that your stomach troubles
were over, that you could eat any kind
of food you desired without injury?
That may seem so unlikely to you
that you do not even hope for an
ending of your trouble, but permit US
to assure you that it is not altogeth-
er impossible. If others can be
cured permanently, and thousands
have been. why not you? John R.
Barker. of Battle Creek, Mich, is one
of them. He says, "I was troubled
with heartburn Indigestion and liver
complaint until I used Chamberlain's
Tablets, then my trouble was over"

mild as all the others with the excep-

Twelfth Century Football.

In the twelfth century football was
game for the streets. The chron-
icler of that period tells how after
dinner the city youths addressed
themselves to football" and how the
scholars of each school and the ap-
prentices of particular trades would
each have their peculiar ball. There
were spectators, too, in those days
enthusiastic spectators. Fathers
would come to watch their sons and
become as youthful as the youngest,
their natural heat seeming to be re-
vived at the sight of so much abil.
ity."
In later years one recalls famous
ball game played In Hyde Park. In
1854, then, there was a hurting of q
great ball by fifty Cornish gentlemen
of one side and fifty on the other;
one party played in red caps, the 9TH
er in white" And-here the histori-
cal value of the contest-Cromwell
was spectator and applauded the
great agility of body" displayed.

that are under quarantine because in
mates may have been exposed to the
disease and all those who have been
confined because of possible exposure
will be released Monday, the disease
having failed to develop in the per-

The above statement is absolutely
authentic and may be relied upon.
