THE BLUE
BUTTERFLY
How q Girl Shrewdly Played
the Role of q Detective
By AGNES q. BROGAN

Harrison Morris glanced down the
hotel veranda with its long line of
rocking occupants and considered how
best to make his escape.
The mountain resort was an ideal
writing place, and the new book was
progressing. but this three times day
journey to the hotel for meals. with
its forced associates, was. to use his
own expression. getting on his
nerves" He thought gratefully OF the
distant bungalow as he sought out
the least freqrented path. No doubt
the ever present matron would hail
him. to tell gushingly Of how she did
enjoy his books" or some vivacious
maiden would seek to claim him for
tennis. How tiresomefy alike they all
were. not an original study among
them. "

Colonel George Harvey, who Is
more responsible than any other one
man Tor the presence OF Woodrow
" ilson in the White House, says that
the issne Of the coming campaign will
be preparedness. An equally good
prediction. says Collior's, Is that an
other issue. oven more capable of
stirring UP the Indigestion OF the
American people, will be the record
or the administration dealings with
villa. Villa Is going to be pretty
unpopular person before next cleo
ton day arrives, and the best thing
any Republican campaign orator can
do will be to dig up the story OF tho
given 10 villa by the
administration, and tho nicG things
raid about him by Democratic LEADERS,
and organs. At one time, when Pres
ident Wilson was most eager to de-
stroy Huerta and alarmingly uDsuc-
cessful In his efforts, he turned to
Villa as his hope. He permitted villa
TO receive American arms and ammu-
milton to use against Huerta, and II Is
these same rifles which are now be-
ing turned against American soldiers,
Wilson spoke OF villa as a genius
who was going to supply Mexico with
the long-neoded leader. and save the
administration from It's very difficult
predicament. Villa was duly CRATE

Vera Cruz II was villa who approved,

President Wilson has made per-
sonal appeal for the aid of business
men in taking an Industrial inventory
to be used in the organization of the
industrial resources for the public
service in national defense. This re-
calls his address at the Jefferson Day
banquet in 1912, in which he said:
Now, suppose we put the shoe ON
the other foot and invite the gen
tlemen who want business let alone
to let politics alone. for my part
agree to withdraw from troubling
business If business will withdraw
from troubling politics"
AS election day approaches it is
wonderful to behold the enlighten-
ment which pours into the Wilsonian
mind. 1t will be interesting to note
how the steel plants will respond to
this request, in view of the presl-
dents approval of the plan OF gov
ernment ownership of armament
plants.

The Health n,hthit

Health Safety" is the keynote Of
the exhibit of the United States Pub
lis Health Service. Persons dead Of
typhoid fover, malaria, or other pre-
Pontable diseases arc In the same
class as those killed through the use
OF faulty bumpers, inadequate cross
Ing signals, or the careless handling
OF explosives. Cause and effect are
acting in either instance and tho haz-
ard to live is similar. But where one
person dies from accidental causes
ten perish from preventative disease.
All of which goes to prove that safe
ty for health is even moro essential
than any other variety. Particularly
Is this true in rural communities
where proper health protection Is sell
dor afforded.
The major portion OF the exhibit OF
the health service relates to typhoid
fever, disease which annually kills
over $4,000 persons in the United
States. For over ten years the SER
vice has conducted vigorous cam
paign against this disease of Nth, the
chief cause OF which Is the improper
disposal Of human excrement. Var
ious types of sanitary toilets and sew
age disposal tanks are displayed. The
role of the house fly in the spread OF
this Infection Is important, hence the
models OF this disease bearing insect
In different stages of development. or
interest to farmers and dairymen arc
the large models of an insanitary and
sanitary dairy. The lesson these
models teach is an important one. Of
tentimes contaminated water Is re-
sponsible for the spread of typhoid.
Just how this contaminated water Is
brought about is illustrated in a strtk-
ing model of interest to every resi-
dent OF a rural community. The i'm
proper and proper methods OF well
construction are also demonstrated.
Malaria. another preventable disease.
IS transmitted b the mosquito. En-
larged models of the eggs, larvae and
adult forms of this insect are exhib-
tied. The various methods of mos
quito destruction are also depicted
most graphically.
Probably the most convincing ex-
htbit Is that relating to SMALLPOX.
Two children, one in the eruptiye
stage Of smallpox. the other present.
ing every appearance OF health. are
sitting side by side. The secret OF
the second chlld's immunity rests in
the vaccination mark. The models
were made from photographs of actu-
al cases in the wards of smallpox
hospital. A second model of this
character depicts the dangers arising
from the use OF the common roller
towel.
Those who are careless in the dis
posal OF garbage will profit from
seeing cross section of house and
nearby garbage barrel. The actual
condition within the walls Of the
house are brought to light and one
realizes what rodent infestatlon
means. AS an accompaniment Of this
model others are shown depicting
the methods of construction Of rat.
proof houses and stables.
A feature of the health exhibit OF
far reaching value is the distribution
OF pamphlets on health topics. 1.-THE
Care OF the Baby" THE Transmits.
sion OF Disease by Flies" What the
Farmer Can Do to Prevent Malaria"
are some of the titles of the litera-
ture distributed.

7 n lry Morgenthau, former ambas-
sadcf at Constantinople, and now
rendering first aid to the Wilson cam
patgn for reelection, says it will
not require much money to carry on
the canvass.
Mr.. Morgenthau wishes thus to
Empress people with the idea that
Wilson's reelection is an easy mat
ter. Nothing could be more distant
from the facts. The presence OF Mr..
EMorgenthau alone, with the ravish-
ing of the diplomatic service which
ut implies, is proof that Wilson's re-
election is a hard job, even impossi-
BILE, and in trying to accomplish It
no sacrifice will be counted too great.
Mr.. Morgenthau has already given UP
his embassy, and he and others will
have to give up in another and even
a more generous sense before the
campaign is halfway over.

spent money lavlshly to rid them
selves of the tormenting agony of
rheumatism have turned to Rheuma
and got well.
When Rheuma goes in, poisonous
secrettons go out. No opiates or mar
cotlcs are used. Rheuma drives cut
the cause of rheumatism and speedily
h~ings comfort and health, and most
druggists will admit it.
Two bottles of Rheuma will cost

lected, your money is waiting for you.
