DR.. Somerville Hastings, lecturing
at the London Institute Of Hygiene,
recently on Cleanliness Is Next to
Godliness," said that people were
much cleaner now than in the reigns
of Queen Mary and Elizabeth, when
the washing of clothes was un-
known. Cotton was hardly in use,
and linen was expensive. The poor
wore rough woolen garments, which
werer never washed, and the better
class adorned themselves with silks
and velvets, which were dyed when
they could no longer pass muster In
regard to cleanliness. 1t is recorded,
said Dr. Hastings, that James /.
never washed either hands or face
during the period he posed as the
wisest fool In Christendom, but con-
fined his cleanliness within the mar
row limits of wiping his finger tips
upon a damp napkin.
A very simple experiment, made
by an eminent bacteriologist, deter
mines in a startling manner the po-
tential dangers associated with ac-
cumulations of dust in living rooms
A pin-point was used to convey as
much dust as SO small a vehicle will
carry. This yielded no less than
5000 colonies of living germs when
cultivated on gelatine, and although
fortunately every species was not
representative of disease, yet the
majority were potent sources of de-
composition and danger to health.

e5.cENT ROOSTER COSTS $1s
But owner Has Satisfaction of Having
it Back in His Pen

Denver, Col.-SiXteen dollars was
the amount a rooster worth G5 cents
cost Charles UT, resident of West
Denver, not counting loss of time
spent in an endeavor to regain the
bird.
The rooster managed to escape from
the pen in the rear of Utts home on
Sante Fe drive, between West Fifth
and Sixth avenues. 1t was wandering
in the alley when Ralph Nissen,,
small boy living in the same block.
caught it. The boy took it home, and
refused TO give it up when UT learned
of its whereabouts.
Realizing that the boy would not
give the bird up voluntarily, UT had
recourse to the law to regain his roos-
ter. He hired an attorney to bring
replevin proceedings in Justice Rice's
court at an expense of five dollars,
put up the docket fee of five dollars,
and then hired an auto to convey Dep
uty Constable Robert Shores to and
from the Nissen home. He was out
sixteen dollars when Shores turned
the rooster over to him.

"ELEcTRlc" TOWEL is LATEST
Device Tried Out at Washington Does
Work in go Seconds.

DeVlce lrled OUT at Warrington DoeS
Work in 60 Seconds.
The new municipal building at
Washington, d. c., is equipped with
"electro-towels," devised by it's super
intcndent, ]. M. Ward. The electro
towel is simply an electric hand-dryer.
1t looks like a rectangular box with the
front face knocked out and set on a
pedestal which brings it about waist
high. The box is large enough to ac-
commodate an ordinary pair of hands.
There Is an electric heating device in
the stand and a blower which forces
the air through duets into the box on
top, where the hands are held while
drying. A lever operated by the foot
turns the current Of hot air into 1t
and sets the blower at work
Superintendent Ward contends that
as the lever is operated by the foot
and the hands are merely extended in
to the box through the open front they
come into contact with no part of the
device, and so the 'peration is perfect
y sanitary 1t takes thirty seconds
to dry hands in this way.

William Il. DougheIty
Is Called By Death

Word reached Lennon, Satur-
day afternoon that William H.
Doherty had died that afternoon
at the home of his step.son in
IWilmar. Mimi. Mr.. and Mrs.
Doherty had been in Wilmar Wis
lting for the past few weeks, be-
fore continuing their journey to
San Diego, Cal, and Mr.. Doherty
seemed to be getting along very
well considering his physical con
ditlon when they left this section
for the east. He was seized with
an attack of paralysis early Sat-
urday morning and death follow
ed at 4 o'clock the same after
noon. Mr.. Doherty had been
suffering with Bright's Disease
for the past fifteen months and
realized, as did his relstives and
friends that death was not far
off. However. he was the same
genial and kindly friend he had
always been and was, if any

the best interests of any enter
prise for the upbuildiug of this

ficient service during his encum-
bancy.

united in marriage to Mrs. Big.
ham who was also an early set
tier here and was residing at
Wolsey, S. D.. at the time of her
married to Mr.. Doherty.
After going out of the postof-
flee, Mr.. and Mrs. Doherty pur.
chased controlling interest in the
Watauga State Bank of Watauga
S. d. at which place they have
made their home.
MIR. Doherty was one of the
pioneers in this section and du-
ring his residence here was iden
tilted with every movement to
upbuild and develop this section.

whose name is Engstrom murd-

age, using a heavy corn knife as
a weapon and then procured a

told is. that Sunday evening ap-
parenty in a fit of passion, he
cleaved his Wife's head with a
corn knife and then turned on
the small boys practically sever
ing their heads from their bodies.
He then dragged the bodies out
into the yard where he mutiIated

lowing the murders he went in

DEMOCRATIC
INEFFICIENCY

Washington, D. c., Oct. 6.-Demo-
cratic laws have been tried and fount
wanting.
AS the time for Congress to reas-
semble approaches, this fact is being
gradually disclosed by the admins
tration itself In nearly every Depart
ment in Washington, government Of
ffcials are preparing amendments to
defects exist because the methods
followed in the enactment of the
statutes were slovenly and careless
to the last degree.
Another problem facing the ad-
ministration, even more serious than
that of defective laws, is that of the
governments finances. There has
been a growing discrepancy between
receipts and expenditures, creating a
deficit in the treasury that must be
provided for.
Government funds have been vast
ed, and a large proportion of this
waste is due to carelessness by the
Democratic Congress in handling ap-
preparations. Articles have hereto
fore appeared giving a few typical
examples of how this waste has oc-
CURED. These articles might be con-
tinued indefinitely Enough has been
said, however, to illustrate the
wasteful, inefficient principle that
has yitiated the entire Democratic
regime.
