phoid fly" from the fact that it is ready carrie
and dissemination of the germs which cause typhoi
fever
With the first advent of spring weather the house
fly appears. During the long winter months 1T ha
been alternating. 1t too cold for the fly to lv
and be active Barring certain places where the
temperature is high and food abundant. the fly
is not seen during the winter months.
Soon after musca domestica has made It's ap-
pearance it ia in search of place to breed. The
female fly has got to lay her eggs Nothing suits
her better depository for her eggs than
pile of horse manure. She, therefore, makes her
way to the stable, and that is the reason why
stables are densely infested with these insects
There they breed in countless numbers. In the
absence of the favorite manure pile, any ferment-
ing and putrid animal and vegetable matter will
suit.
Whenever fly is seen it is positive proof Of
the existence of some filth in the neghborhood.
Ii is much filthy and much more dangerous
TO have flies in the kitchen and dining room than
to have bedbugs in the bedroom
Every open garbage can, every bit of exposed
food every stagnant bit of water means another
nursery and refuge for the pest. And each in
dividual fly is the breeding place for as many
germs as there are flies In the average fly
( nursery!
Flies can carry various disease germs 10 Hail.
BY so doing they kill thousands of people, espe-
cially babies, every year; therefore, kill the flies
and save the babies.
If flies have access to human excrement they
not only feed upon it, but they lay their eggs in
it, After few hours the egg matches out a mag
got; this feeds in the filth for several (about
ive) days and then forms pupa; after about
five days the adult fly comes out of the pupal
case feeds on the filth and carries disease germs
from the filth to the house, deposit1ng these
germs on the foods. Thus flies carry disease to
people. A fly drops his excrement about once
every four and half minutes and may spread
germs not only in this way, but also with his
feet, wings, and mouth parts
Even If excrement containing fly maggots is
buried under as much six feet of sand, the
maggots can crawl to the surface bringing dis
ease germs with them
Thus it is clear that If flies are kept away from
human excrement, not only will they decrease in
numbers but they will be prevented from spread
ing certain diseases such as typhoid fever

of life. That is, insurance companies
have found by experience that these
individuals do not live as long on the
average, as do persons of normal
weight. But after 40 the factor of ur-
derweight seems to be of little Inn
portance. From 40 up overweight be-
gins to assume the more prominent
place.
Why Is overweight bad?
A moderate amount OF excess bag
gage does not seem to be bad Tor
younger men; in fact 1t seems to be
a favorable factor. But in men past
40 excess weight simply adds to the
work of the heart. 1t stands to rea-
son that If your heart was made to do
the work of forty horse power ma
chine in the first place, you can't load
on enough for sixty horse power
machine without causing break
down sooner or later Every time q
fat man walks upstairs or lifts him
self out of chair or tears himself
away from the dinner table his heart
is doing overwork.
Both overweight and underweigh'
individuals may accomplish much
through diet. But the first thing me-
cessary is to find out whether any or
ganic disease Is the underlying cause
of the abnormal weight.

ministration to their liking. He is too
clearsighted and too effective to suit
them. They cannot bluff him. block
him or fool him for a minute. He
knows what the country needs he
goes after it and gets it-wholly re-
gardless OF whether his course is
pleasing to the tories of business and
politics.
So the old guard is trying to rally.
The calamity shouters are being
urged to extend themselves. Made to
order protests are being sent con.
gress in opposition 10 the antitrust
bills. AS shown by an editorial from
the New York World the suggestion
is out that newspapers friendly to the
Wilson policies be boycotted. In all
the states where elections are to be
held desperate efforts are being made
to put the standpatters back into
control At the recent primary cleo
ton in Oregon the old guard repub-
licans knitted the progressives where
ever they appeared Right now in this
state paid propaganda is being car
ried on against the direct primary law
and against progressivism in general.
The people are going to be asked
to turn back the clock on political
and economic progress. They are
going to be asked to chastise them
selves for their impudence in wanting
to correct crookedness in big business
and for their nerve in asking square
deal for themselves. They are going
to be asked to stop thinking and to
leave that matter to lobbyists for
special privilege.
Keep your eye on the return of the
old guard. They are trying to get in
line and their drums can be heard
very plainly. They play the same old
tune and everybody should recog-
nize it by this time.

anyone. no threatening of congress-
men and no grandstandig. Wilson
has been the leader because he knows
and people know that he knows, He
has dominated congress because he
has been right and has been able to
prove it, He is able to judge meas
ures and to judge men. The secret
cf his success is in his great intelli-
gence and natural executive ability.
1t is not patronage at all. Other
presidents have had the same pat
ronage powers as he. Why have they
not been powerful?
So able and so successful has Pres
ident Wilson been that his critics have
abandoned their old line of carping.
They now assail him for being too
strong and too effective in his grasp
on affairs. They say he bulldozes
congress. 1t is the wrong word but
who should guide congress If not the
president? Should he sit back and
let lobbyists and other representatives
OF special interests whip congress
back and forth. 1t is the president S
duty to be the leader. He was elect
ed for that purpose and the people ex-
pect it of him. They pay him SIS, 900
year to do that work.
Present criticisms are highly COM
plimentary to the president. They
used to say he was too much of an
old woman. They now say he is toe
much of caesar. Keep it up.

BY Till SCISSORS
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


Life insurance statistics show that
overweight policyholders very rarely
die of old age. For that matter, no
one ever dies of old age, But over
weight persons are apt to succumb
to some illness earlier in life than
persons of normal weight.
A man 8 feet tall should weigh l15
pounds.
A man feet inches should weigh
127 pounds.
A man 5 feet inches should weigh
1873 pounds.
A man . feet inches should weigh
144 pounds.
A man feet inches should weigh
155 pounds.
A man feet 10 inches should weigh
17O pounds.
A man feet tall should weigh III
pounds.
Between the ages of Is and 80 un-
derweight is more important than in
middle life. 1t is often the indication
of incipient tuberculosis or some other
chronic disease. OF course. it may be
family trait and mean nothing. But
when only one member of family
shows underweight the case is one for
the family doctors observation. Dia-
betes, tapeworm, chronic appendicitis
anaemia, tuberculosis and other OBJ
scure conditions may be expressed al
most exclusively by underweight in
adult life.
Underweight in individuals up to
the age of 40 shortens the expectance

Practice Here.

And DR.. Holke came back, notwith.
standing the prediction of good many
people that he might not return. He
not only came back, but he came
ahead of time. When he left here he
said he would be back about he 18th
and as matter of fact he came on
the 14th, three days ahead of time.
He was considerably disturbed when
he discovered the feeling that had
been worked up on account of his go
ing away, but he says, as he said be-
fore he left, that he was troubled with
rheumatism which was responsible for
his going away. He resents the
charge that he had taken advantage
of his patients in any way that would
justify the insinuation that he had vio-
lated the law. He said it is his inten-
tions to continue in the practice and
to treat his patients in the future as
he has in the past.

ESTIMABLE LADY
PASSED AWAY
Mrs. Herman Lossdon. Formerly Of
Dow City, Dies at the M. E. Hos.
ptaI in Des Moines.
PARALYSIS GIVEN AS THE CAUSE
Leaves Husband, Two Daughters and
Five Sons, Besides Number Of
Relatives to Mourn Her Loss

Dow City, Feb 17-Special-
The entire community was shocked
Saturday morning to learn that Mrs.
Herman Logsdon had passed away
during the previous night at the NJ.
E. hospital in Des Moines. All had
known Of her illness but the last word
that had arrived concerning her con-
dition was that she was still improv-
ing. About New Years time she suf-
fered paralytic stroke and altho she
was left unconcious she rallied and
seemed to regain her health. About
three weeks ago however she suffered
a second and severer stroke and for a
time it seemed that she could not
survive. But she again rallied, knew
her family, called them by name and
conversed with them and regained in
slight degree the use of the paralyz-
ed limbs. The stroke, however, af-
fected her mind and this grew worse,
and she was on last Monday removed
to the NJ E. hospital at Des Moines
where she could be more easily cared
for. There was no thought at the time
that she was leaving her home for
good, that she would see her family
no more. On Friday evening they
received word to come to her bed
side and they hastened to obey the
summons but death travelled faster
than they and laid his finger upon her
brow e'er they arrived.
The Logsdon family removed from
this place about year ago and locat-
ed at Ames. Mrs. Logsdon was a
most consistent Christian woman and
there is no doubt but that she who
served God so faithfully here will re-
ceive great reward in the Masters
kingdom.
Deborah Smith was born in western
Canada, Aug. 29, 1868, and passed
away on Feb. IA, 1914, at the age Of
as years, months and Is days. When
seven years of age she moved with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Smith, to Crawford county, locating
on a farm near Denison, where she
lived until 1887, at which time she was
united in marriage to Mr.. Herman
Logsdon. after which they moved to
Paradise township and remained there
