The Haitian President was mobbed by a
crowd, presumably friends of number of
political prisoners who were hung just be-
fore the execution of the President. After
the President was shot his body was dragged
through the streets and otherwise mutilated.
The American marines, which were near
when the riot occurred, were landed and at
the present have restored peace.

There has been unheard of advances in
the quotations of stock of the corporations
engaged in filling war contracts with foreign
countries. This stuff is being fed to the
public at prices representing many times it's
value. We presume that the suckers W. /
acquire enough of this stuff to bring on a
panic about the time the war is over. It is
great pity that some one can not boom

Senator Williams of Mississippi struck
the right chord last week when he refused
to make himself the centre of attraction at
p picnic. This idea of promoting picnic
with debating contest between public men
instead of the usual sack-race or greasy-pole
should be generally discouraged. Senator
Williams showed his good taste and usual
good sense in refusing the invitation.

The last note of President Wilson has
been received in Germany with pronounced
bitterness. The question is whether this
bitterness, so generally expressed by the
p,pulace and the press, will be sufficient to
co Tce those in authority to continue the
hostile attacks on non-combattants. The
German officials seem inclined to evade, #
possible, further hostile acts, but it is hard
to predict the far-reaching effect of lingo
demonstrations.

THE DRUG PROBLEM.

Drug addiction fs very common in
this country, and constitutes men
ace to the nation, according to an
article In the Public Health Reports
for March IS, 1915, which reviews the
efforts made to lessen the abuse of
habit forming drugs and analyses the
federal and state laws restricting or
regulating the distribution and use of
opium. coca, and other narcotic and
habit-formf1g drugs.
The abuse of narcotic drugs in
wolves economic, social, moral and
public health questions that collec-
lively constitute one of the most seri-
Gus problems before the people OF the
United States today.
In New York and several other
states, drug addiction ia regarded as
a disease, and these states have pro-
vided systematic treatment for
those addicted to the use OF drugs.
while in Michigan such a person may

acted in Tennessee permits the sale

ed according to the Law. Similar laws
exist in other states. but the New
York law for treatment Of drug adj
diets Is considered the better measure.
The principal shortcomings OF the
present laws are that no method OF
enforcement is outlined and no spe.
cific appropriations are made for their
! enforcement.

After commenting on the high price

course there will be no shortage OF
food in the United States. That is,
some kinds OF food. Germany, which

pRoIEcrINc FOOD SUPPLY

PROTECTING FOOD SUPPLY
Each year the problem OF protecting
our food supply from disease produc-
Ing germs, carried about by the house
fly presents iteslf.
In statement issued by Mr.. w. b.
Barney, dairy and food commissioner,
our attention Is called to the fact that
1t is the few winteredover flies,
which we see at this time of the
year, that are responsible for the
countless millions that are menace
to our health in midsummer
1t has been clearly shown that such
maladies as typhoid fever. dysentery,
summer complaint, tuberculosis and
many other diseases are spread by
permitting the house-fly to deposit
the germs. which cause these dis
eases, upon our food supply.
Numerous methods OF preventing
this contamination have been devised,
but none Ii as effective as swattins
or trapping the fly before the eggs
are deposited and by destroying the
,ny-breeding places.
Careful study has shown that 80
percent Of the house flies are bred in
stable manure. and the other ten per
cent in the various filthy places about

of carelessness and filth.
The old saying that IAN ounce OF
prevention is worth pound OF cure
holds true in the case of flies. A few
hours spent now in swatting an
cleaning will save us many hours o,
later later on. It is only when we
permit the wintered-over flies to mul
| tiply that screens are necessary.
The state sanitary food law wisely
makes 1t compulsory that all persons
handling food stuffs protect them
| from the contamination by flies.
/ AS q means Of assisting food han
ding establishments to comply with
l the law, the dairy and food commits
sioner makes the following recon-
imendations:
| l. Clean the premises Of all manure
and other fly breeding material.
| 2. Swat or trap all OF the wintered
over flies as they appear.
| 8. See that the screens are In good
repair and we'll painted. They must
At tightly.
4. Out-houses should be cleaned and
any vaults made ny-proof.
5. Give the yard and alley iti
share Of attention.
6. Garbage cans with tight-fittint
lids should be provided for sucl
refuse as cannot be burned.
The commissioner makes the FOL
lowing mmendations to the house
wife:
| 1. Don't buy food from any dealer
! who refuses to fight the fly.
2. Don't purchase fruits or vege
tables offered for sale unscreened
8. Don't patronize the dealer WHIT
Ihauls your food through streets ant
lalleys unprotected.
4. Don't eat fresh fruits withou
thoroughly washing them.
5. Don't keep garbage or othe,
refuse around the house.
6. Bear in mind that flies are borr
lin filth-live on fi1th-and deposi
filth in our food.
T. Cleanliness Is cheaper thai
flies and screens cheaper than docto
bills.

ON TIME.

The Burlington railway Is making

us would be inclined to doubt the

not the railway substantiate its claim

record seems to be straight and I'M
assailable.

train 1000 miles or more and have It
