Keep The Babies Well.

During the months OF May
and June the baby death rate
begins to climb, reaching its
height in July and August. 1t
should not be forgotten that
this is the season when babies
should be given the greatest
care and attention in order to
keep them well. There are two
causes demanding this: heat and
flies. Heat is depressing. 1t
increases every danger that
baby is lack of cleanliness about
baby or baby's things, heat in
Creases 1t and makes it harder to
bear; if baby lives in foul and
Stuffy air, heat makes it sicken-
ing and uncomfortable if its food
is not handled with greatest
cleanliness and care, heat makes
greater its infection and there
fore increases its danger to
baby's health and life.
Then there are flies. Flies
are baby's greatest enemy.
They should never be allowed
to come in contact with baby
itself, or its food, or any of its
playthings. They carry -numer-
Gus diseases but are the main
carriers of diarrhoeal diseases,
commonly known as 'baby
summer complaint"
The baby death rate from this
disease climbs especially high
during these months. And
strange as it may seem to some
mothers this is a preventable
disease. 1t is mainly a fly. borne
disease, though it may some
times be carried in impure milk
and water. The mother there,
fore would be safe in giving hel
child only pasteurized milk and
an abundance of cooled boiled
water, and in keeping it from
flies and fly infected food. To
keep the baby we'll will be
worth all the pains and more

A Circular Screwdriver.

The simple idea that makes
the inventor successful is illus
trated by new vest-pocket
screwdr1ver capable of fitting
screws of any size. 1t is nothing
but disk of metal about the size
of a large coin. The edge
of the disk is put into the slot of
a screw like the blade of an
ordinary screwdriver. One edge
is thin, for small screws, and
another is thick, with gradual
ed thickness between the two
extremes for the purpose of
having an edge that will fit any
slot.
A hole in the middle of the
disk gives a chance to slip in a
nail or pocketknife, or anything
else handy, to be used as a lever
on tight screws.

How You Can Avoid the PIa
gues of Flies This Summer.

Not only are flies unpleasant
when they share with us our
front porches, kitchens and din
ing rooms, but we may be Quite
sure that they are responible for
as much sickness as perhaps any
other single agency. Typhoid
fever is very frequently carried
bv the ordinary fly, and a bic
percentage of the serious sum-
mer ills Of children are due to
the same cause.
On the farm more than 80 per
cent of all house flies breed in
horse manure, and ii is of inter-
est and value 10 know that the
United States Department of
Agriculture, after a series OF
careful Investigations. has found
that ordinary borax, when
sprinkled over the manure, pre-
vents the Matching of more than
~ per cent of the eggs laid. II
was found also that the quantity
OF borax necessary to prevent
flies breeding had no Injurious
effect on the manure.
1t is recommended that about
ten ounces of borax be used for
each eight bushels of manure,
and that it be sprinkled on with
a fine sieve. Two or three gal.
Ions of water should then be
sprinkled over the manure.
The cost of this treatment ,s
estimated at one cert per horse
per day. In other words, the
farmer with two horses can
keep down the flies from May
until October at cost of only
three dollars Isn't this worth
trying? 4

this method of preventing flies

ment Printing Office, Washing !,

Electric FIy-Catcher.

Catching flies with an electric
motor has been proved entirely
practicable, and such machines
have now appeared on the
market. The motor does not
chase the flies round the room,
but induces them to come near
and then captures them.
The machine operates like a
suction cleaner, a fan creating
a strong suction. Round the
pipe through which the air is
sucked in, some Sweets-Such as
mOlStened SugaT-are spread.
Any fly that comes near the
pipe will be quickly sucked in
and dropped into a steel cage
for future attention.

An Old World.

Scientists hesitate to estimate
geologic time in terms of years.
Such estimates have, however,
been beeumadaeandooAe-p+1+tislasd. madae, and sic pubtished:
by Prof. Charles Schuchert in
1910 states that about 100000
years have elapsed since the
close of the Carboniferous age,
an age, as the name suggests, in
which great deposits of carbon,
in coal, were being formed in
many parts of the world. This
age has been divided by geolo-
gist into the Mississippian, Penn
sylvanian, and Permian epochs,
Of which the Mississippian is the
Oldest and the Permian the
Youngest. The Pennsylvania
epoch alone is estimated by
SChuChert to have covered D.
100000 years, and animal life is
supposed TO have existed on the
earth for over 100000 years
before that time.-PreSs Bulletin.

Italy Votes to Enter War.

Rome, May 21 (via Paris).-
Italian senate today by a vote of
262 to 2 passed Premier Salan-
dra's bill granting plenary
powers to the government In
dealing with the situation that
has arisen through the inability
OF Italy and Austria to reach an
agreement concerning Italy's de-
mandS.
When the vote, which vir-
tually assures Italy's entry into
the war, was announced there
was a great demonstration of
enthusiasm inside the senate
chamber. Shouts of Long live
Italy" intermingled with the
cheering and handclapping of
the senators, the ministers, army
and navy officers and the peo-
pie in the gallery. King Victor
Emmanuel and members of the
roval household witnessed the
demonstrations.
Prince Colonna, mayor of
Rome, had been chosen to pre-
sent the bill to the senate, and
his speech was frequently inter-
rupted by applause. The mayor
said he was proud to address the
senate on an occasion so mo-
mentous for the country. In
the name of the people, he asked
the king and the parliament of
country to make a just war in
order to deliver their oppressed
brothers.
The bill was referred to a
committee. Meanwhile the
senate took a recess. When the
senate again convened the COM
mittee reported the bill favor
able and it passed almost unani-
mously.

Italy Finally Takes Long De-
ferred Plunge Into War

ferred Plunge Into War
Rome, May %. Paris
Italy is at war with Austria
hungary.
With the issuance of the
general mobilization order the
Italian Government issued a
proclamation declaring war on
Austria, which officially will
begin tomorrow.
Prior to this, and after a
lengthy consultation, the Minis
tiers of War and Marine pro-
claimed all the provinces Dor
derng on Austria and the islands
and coast towns of the AdriatiC
in d state OF war which was
equivalent to the establishment
of martial law, the step usually
preceding the formal declaration.
Although drastic action has
been looked for momentarily,
Italians of all classes have been
electrified by the swiftly moving
events. Early this morning
great crowds gathered around
the Quirinal to await the Minis
ters, who called on the King
for the purpose of discussing the
question and 81 gning the decree.
When Premier Salandra and
Signor Sonnino; the Foreign
Minister left the Palace the
people cheered them enthusiastic
cally. General Zuppill. Minister
of War, and Vice Admiral Viale.
Minister of Marine, remained
with the King for a considerable
time after the others left and
later they had a conference with
Lieutenant General Cadorna,
Chief of Staff and Vice Admiral
Phaon di Revel. Chief of the
Naval Staff.

Hustrian side of which feverish
preparations have been going on

bic, and to clear the way for
effective artillery action, Won

sador, Baron Won Macchio, are
still in Rome SO far as is known.

moment in the hope that some
way might be found 10 prevent
a clash at arms They will be
given safe conduct when they
do leave and so far as German
and Austrian residents in Italy
are concerned, every effort has
been made to see them safely
out of the country.
On the other hand, most
alarming reports have been re-
celved from Italian border
towns that Italian residents in
the Austrian Tyrol are exper-
lenclng great difficulty in re-
turning to Italy and in many
cases have been placed under
arrest.
