means keeping clean. 1t is one OF
the happiest signs of these times that
the best aids science can give are
brought to the door of the humblest
home. But cleanliness does not mean
merely washing a child's face and
hands. 1t must go IN downright
fashion all through its habits and
surroundings. 1t mean clean air,
clean food, clean clothing, clean
things to handle with its deft and 'bu-
syfngers. 1t means a house so clean

DREADED RAT AS CAR
RIER OF DISEASE
Ru Philin Halter. New York.

By Philip Halter, New York.
To stamp out a disease either con-
tagious or infectious to mankind or
stock, | agree that no expense or val
ue should be spared in order to ar.
rive at a result without any loss OF
time, but it seems to me rather a one
sided affair that not only valuable
stock but also domestic pets OF every
description should be sacrificed,
whereas nothing is said about the
much-dreaded rat, which has been
known for years as a disease carrier
of the deepest dye.
Nothing is definitely known as to
how the hoof-and-mouth disease is
spread from one farm to another. 1t
will appear quite my~steriously at a
distant line farm and leave the nearer
line one perfectly alone, as If 1T did
not exist, and because perhaps one
of the disease carriers might be am
n their number the deputies give
orders to slaughter not only valuable
stock but also to kill domestic pets,
The authorities should make it
compulsory that all rats and even
mice in all the infected farms and all
farms in the same districts where the
disease has not yet appeared be des-
troyed Immediately and the runs and
holes of these animals thoroughly dis
infected.
The strong and drastic measures
now adopted by the authorities could
be in many S avoided and valua-

In King Solomon we perceive a diff

did the others. He was thus highly
favored, while probably more gifted.

in the name Of the Lord. Forthwith
the military salute was given, and all
the people shouted, Long live King

vid's direction, Solomon was brought
to the throne and publicly crowned.
Adonijah and those with him were
astounded when they heard the clamor
Of the people, the blowing Of horns,
etc., and later learned that Solomon
had been crowned and enthroned.
Fearing for his life, Adonijah fed;
and his adherents melted away. Later,
however, King Solomon sent word to

What chance of success has a mar
after he reaches the age of forty
.. In the last few months any observ-
ant person who has come in contact
with the "down-and-outs" has seen
more failures at forty" than ever
before. I refer particularly to the
men who have been out of employ
ment for months and who were never
idle before for more than a week Or
two in each year.
Those who haven't found it neces-
sarv to hunt up another job in order
to exist will never know the heart
aches resulting from such an expert
ence. 1t is a hateful predicament to
be. in even when industrial conditions
are at their best.
| have met many men of middle
age in the last few months who were
out of work through no fault of their
own. and who would have been glad
to accept even a mental position if it
were possible to get one. In THIS
day of hustle employers are calling
Yor the Younger men. Youth is a
great factor nowadays in the CONNER
cial world for turning out a good
DAVIS work." and a man at middle
age gets scant attention when apply
ing for a situation, regardless of his
ability or experience. The 1aborer

of them were prisoners in their res

Tying DAVID was seventy years
X old; Absalom, his eldest son,
had died In rebellion not long
before the present lesson
opens. David's next eldest son was
Adonijah, who is supposed to have
been between thirty and forty years Of
age at this time. Joab, for a long
time the head of David's army, must
have been well advanced In years and
probably was on the retired list, not
merely on account of his age, but be-
tause he had deeply wounded King
David's feelings In disregarding his IN
structions that Absalom's life should
not be taken.
Prince Adonijah thought the time
ripe to proclaim himself king, especial
ly as he had the friendship Of Joab
and Of a prominent priest. He made
a feast, to which apparently all of
King David's sons were invited except
Solomon, who was known to be a ia
yorite with his father. The feast was
held not far from Jerusalem. The ar
rangement was made that In the midst
of the feast one of the company should
salute Adonijah as king. The other
guests were expected to echo the senti-
ment; and thus the movement would
seemingly be a popular one, and not a
rebellion. Thus far it carried out much
as planned.
However. In Gods providence the
matter was brought to King David's

But to go back to the first turn Of
the road that led Ellis Thrush, man
Of affairs and manager of the Clayton
Orphans trust fund, into the port of
broken men, the harbor of dead
hopes.
1t was in 1906 that he turned from
the straight road and it was Helen
Faust, known to the police of many
cities, who showed him the way.
Helen was beautiful, Thrush was
vain; she played on his vanity; he
borrowed money, he stole money, he
sold a life insurance policy of S2O,-
600, he sold stock bought with his
Wife's money, and he flung the gold
into the lap of his mistress.
Finally Denver began to make life
uncomfortable for Thrush and his
openly acknowledged affinity
Frantically he sought a hiding
place for himself and his companion;
his love for adventure, almost as
strong as his love for wine and WON.

BRITISH STEAMER IN
FIGHT WITH AIRCRAFT

LONDON, March 27.-A thrilling
story of having steel darts rained on
his vessel by German taubes flying
over the channel was brought TO
South Shields today by Captain Vogt
of the Norwegian steamer Diana. The
report OF Vogt impressed officials
with the fact that neutral shipping
carrying cargoes to England is suf-
fering from the German policy OF re-
prisals through the air as well as
British vessels.
AS the Diana was steaming toward
port Vogt said several German avia-
tors attacked the vessel At least
500 darts, each a foot long and ex-
tremely sharp, came hurtling down
upon the ship from the sky. The
crew OF the Diana scurrled below for
protection as the darts, whizzlng to-
ward the vessel with almost the speed
OF bullets. splintered the deck. The
airmen disappeared in the direction
of Calais.
