TRACTS CLEARED OF MALARIA
Gratifying Progress Has Been Made
by Those Interested in Conquer
ing the Disease.

Malaria, to which children are sus-
ceptible, has been made largely pre-
ventable disease by a study Of the
mosquito carrier, it's breeding places
and natural history, and by inocula-
ton experiments on animals and man.
1t was proved by Italian observers
that the mosquito disseminates bird
malaria in the same manner as in the
human subject.
The final upshot of these investiga-
tions has been that large tracts of
hitherto waste and dangerous land
have been rendered safe and proGuc-
tive. A widespread cause of debihtat-
ing sickness, and even of death, has
thus been removed.
In such areas the saddest sight has
been the stunted, anemic children,
with enlarged livers and spleens, the
evidences of chronic malarial poison
ing, that can now be obviated by put
ting modern knowledge into effect.

nSteal or kiIl?D

Traffic in the downtown district of
st. Louis was blocked for half an hour
the other day when Frank Witt, ma
chinist out of work, paraded the
streets wearing the following sandwich
sign:
"Chief Young wants 900 more po-
licemen to stop the increasing crimes.
What shall | do?
mo work. no money, four mother
less children to feed.
shall steal, commit highway rob-
berry or kill myself and children?
"One thousand are in the same po-
sition in this city today.
Enormous luxury; enormous pow
erty.
What shall | do?"
"The sign" said Witt in Jail, was
the only way of attracting attention in
the hope of getting job. I've tried
everything else. My wife died re-

CLUBS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
Movement Fostered by Department Of
Agriculture Has Spread to Every
Section of Country.

One of the most notable movements
In agricultural education has been the
boys and girls clubs organized in ag-
ricultural communities for the pur-
pose of learning to farm by actually
farming. Fostered by the department
of agriculture and taken up, in vari-
GUS forms by state, county and even
private agencies. the movement has
spread to almost every section of the
country.
The boys and girls who belong to
any of these clubs are building foun-
dation for future success III farming
which was beyond the dream of the
last generation. They are learning to
do by doing. They are finding out
the fundamental principles of crop
production In their young and impress
sionable years. and are learning to
work with their heads as well as their
hands.

BOYS FORE0RDAINED TO FAIL
Youth Who Is Spared All Work by
.ndaisent Parents Is on Wrong
Road to Success In Life.

We can only wonder at the silly
way In which some men waste their
lives.
One day 1t is a man in Cincinnati
who enters a bank, shooting this way
and that, scoops the money into
bag while the employees hide. leaps
into a stolen motor car, enacts the
robbery again in another bank, and
at last, when cornered, kills a police
man and is himself killed.
Enough of adventure, excitement
and tragedy to last lifetime crowded
into few hours, with murder at the
end.
But what for? The chances OF the
man getting away were so remote
that only a fool would have under
taken the job.
The next day 1t is Kansas City.
Two men rob a shopkeeper OF dia-
monds and money and try to escape
by running through crowded streets,
a silly and futile thing to undertake.
The end of their folly will be years
and years of hard work, hard living,
lonesomeness and heartbreaking mo-
notony in prison.
The man who undertakes to live
by his wits, to get money without
working for it, is foreordained to fail
ure. And yet there are always men
starting on that road.
In general they are men who failed
in youth to learn the lesson of in
dustry. They got the idea that the
end of life was to get on with as little
effort as possible. The boys whoaare
spared all work by indulgent parents,
who expect everything to be done for
them and to do nothing for anybody
else, are on the wrong road They
are getting the demoralizing ideas
that are responsible for such wrecks
as come daily to the criminal court.

MOTOR WHEEL FUR BICYCLE
Frame Which Is Carried on Rub
ber-Tired Wheel.

The application of gasoline motor
to an ordinary bicycle is not new, but
it is extremely doubtful IL many of
the attachments of this nature are OF
much practical value. AS rule the
attachment involves some more or less
serious and expensive change in the
frame of the bicycle. The motor
wheel illustrated herewith, on the 9TH
er hand, is quite a departure from the
conventional attachments of this ma
ture, as it comprises a complete pow
er unit in itself and requires no
changes whatever in the frame of the
bicycle for its successful attachment

Two farmers, attired in corduroys
and CATERS, were strolling through a
picture gallery, where they looked, and
apparently felt, decidedly out of place.
But at last they brought up before

and use. The power plant consists
of a small gasoline motor mounted in
substantial frame which is carried
on a rubber-tired wheel that serves
as the driver. Above the wheel is
mounted the gasoline tank. A glance
at the illustration will show that the
device is entirely self-contained and
that it is attached quite easily by
means of clamps to the framework of
the bicycle, of which, however, it is
quite independent.

ATrue Bourbon,

In the unregenerate past, when our
fair land lay in drunken stupor under
the heel of the demon rum, a teacher
of chemistry in one of the southern
colleges was quizzing his class on the
subject of the preceding lecture, which
was water" and happened to call up
on a student from Kentucky, one John

SHORT, FULL SKIRTS ADAPTED
FOR SLIM FIGURES.
Average Woman Of Middle Age viii
Find It Hard to Wear the Coming
styIes--one Of the New
Picture Hats.

Although the outline of the moment
cannot be said to be early Victorian, .
because of the generous dimensions of
the waist, it is yet true that from the
waist down the newest outline recalls
the quaint fashions which were in vo-
que when the great Queen Victoria
was a young girl.
There is the same very short, and
very full skirt and-more often than
not-the same shapeless coatee which
opens In front over little lace or tulle
chemisette.
1t may be said at once that the
gowns Of the immediate future will be
exceedingly attractive when worn by
just the right girl or woman, but it is
hard to see how they can be made
possible for the average woman Of
thirty-five or forty.
or course, it is true that our dress
makers are clever at arranging and al
tering existing styles to suit individual
forms, but at the same time the fact
remains that very short, full skirt
can never look really well on stout
figure.
The illustration shows one of the
new picture hats made of white vel
vet. The fiat brim is double and the
trimmings consist of a quaint cockade
made of black MORE ribbon and sable.
This model has been carried out in
dark blue mirror velvet and also In a
heavy make of black satin.

BROUGHT ALL INTO COURT
indictments Too Hastily Issued Caused
Some Commotion When Inter
ested Ones Appeared.


The Green Bag reports the recent eff
fort Of Judge Wallace of the Kansas
City criminal court to enforce rigidly
the Sunday blue laws. He had or
dered the indictment and arrest Of all
keepers of shops. stores and parks, as
well as all actors and other perform
ers. One of the places Of amusement
was hippodrome OF wild animals,
and in its zeal the grand jury had in
dicted a number Of actors at this place
on information furnished by witnesses
employed there. Warrants were issued
and the marshal was directed to bring
the indicted ones before the bar.
Call Mary Garden" said the judge,
Mary Garden!" yelled the deputy
marshal.
There was an appreciate delay, and
then suddenly the door opened and
into the crowded court room came two
men dragging, at the end Of powerful
chains, an angry lioness, who ex-
pressed her disapproval of the situa-
ton by emitting deafening roar.
When the stampede was stopped and
order restored the overenthusiastic
Judge found that he had caused the
Indictment of some hundred or more
animals, including lions, tigers, Loop
ards, hyenas, dogs, cats and pigs, all
of which were at the court house
entrance creating such a disturbance
that the whole neighborhood had gone
into a state of siege.-New York Sun.

part than in the other. Take one cup
of flour and mix with the larger part,
then shake the plume thoroughly in
this part and rinse it in the smaller
part. Shake well in the air to dry
and to destroy. the odor of the gaso-
line. The tinsel braids and ribbons
that are so much used at present can
be cleaned or refreshed by washing
them with a toothbrush that has been
dipped first in sudsf and then in am
monia.
A good way to clean children's bon
nets made from Angora wool is to dust

will be as white and fluffy as when

and no. doubt his bravery caused his

his car struck the stone coping at the

his life, but-he chung to the wheel try

influence of dear old Jack Many a
Norwich boy when stranded and out
of funds in Hartford always knew who
to call on and never went away hun
cry or empty handed. He had a heart
as big as a mountain, was always good
natured and tried to make. everybody
happy. In all the years ! knew him
never saw him lose his temper. At
the Falls he was worshipped by every
man, woman and child and in Hart
ford he made a host of friends, who
will never forget him. May the Lord
