Ordinarily one would think there is
little danger Of being run over by
railroad locomotive while at nome in
bed sound asleep, but recently several
members Of a family in Phlla lc'phia
were seriously injured ny freight
car which punched a hole in the resi-
derce. This kind of accident, howev.
er, is not likely to happen in Florida,
for there is no ice for the train to
glide along on, but should It run on
the track here, it will at enc. bury
itself in the sand. Another good reas.

Washington, July 12.-Living up to
its reputation as the greatest single
factor for peace in America, the Unit
ed States Marine Corps, with the loss
of few men killed and wounded, has
quietly and effectually quelled the lat
est. revolt in Santo Domingo, and,
without time lost in undue parley has
forced the rebel chieftains to Law
down their arms and return to peace
full pursuits, according to late advices
from Monte Christie. The United
States Marines now control the ent;r
island on which Haiti and Santo Do.
mingo are situated, and that control
was gained without serious fighting OF
great loss Of life it is claimed, be-
cause of the the thorough prepared
ness of the marines for the business
at hand and their knowledge of the

USE CARE WITH ALFALFA.

! It is not we'll to feed alfalfa hay in
too large quantities to brood mares
and this is matter in which precau-
tion should be taken. Horses tend to
become bloated if allowed to overfeed
on alfalfa hay, especially if the hay is
in more or less green stage. It is
always advisable when alfalfa hay is
to be fed to horses to allow the alfalfa
to remain in the field until well ma
tured. The danger of bloating in
horses is especially great in the case
Of mares in foal. These precautions
are not necessary in feeding alfalfa
to cattle, and, in fact, the green: aifal.
ia hay is very desirable for dairy cat.
tie. Good results have been obtained
in feeding brood mares by limiting
their alfalfa to one third Of the total
amount Of the roughage fed to them

FLY TINE.

Summer time is fly time. Enough
house flies. always live over winter
to give the species start for anothe:'
season, and no means has yet been
discovered of giving perfect in'nuri-.
ty from the pest. Comparative iro-
mrnity may be secured only by the
practice of constant and unvarying
vigilance. That freedom, or COM
paratively freedom from flies is worth
all the effort that it costs is becom-
ing more and more generally recog-
nized, for there is better knowledge
than formerly of the manner in which.
the house fly interests with humar
comfort, and human health, and the
menace that it is to the human life.
The fly is born with filth, lives o,
filth, and carries filth from place to
place. He browses on waste matter
which provides the breeding grounl
for bacteria of innumerable diseases,
and when he returns from his forag-
ing among the decaying matter in the
back yard to meander over the butter.
and march across the frosting of the
cake, he carries these bacteria by the,
million, and distributes them impartti-
ally over.everything that he touches.
He is the purveyor of practically
every bacteria! disease with which
food can be contaminated. Because
he spoils food he increases the size of
our grocery bills. He is the SQUIRE
of many Of our doctors bills; and
because of him many a procession
wends its way to the cemetery many
years before the services of the under.
taker and the sexton need have been
required.
To avoid the fly nuisance the E.
essential is to deprive the insect Of
food, water, lurking places and breed
which akxnoNsETAOI sHRHR FW r
I Ing places. Food that is to be used
should be kept covered, and that
which is not for use should be destroy
ed. Dirt must not be permitted to ac-
cumulate, indoors or out. Stable
manure should never be permitted to
accumulate, OF if it must accumulate
for a short time in warm weather
it should be sprinkted with kerosene, J
Premises should be kept "picked ups
all sumer long. This requires less
labor than a case of typhoid, and costs
less money than funeral. The house
itself should be protected by having
doors and windows screened. And
whenever, after all these precautions
have been taken, a fly makes it's an
pearance, "SWAT IT."

NOW WEEDS IN PASTURE

Moving the weeds in the pasture
gives the grass and clover better
chance. It is hard on the weeds too.
Set the mower high so as not to cut
the pasture plants. When the weeds
are allowed to grow they make their
growth at the expense Of the pasture
plants. A few sheep in the cattle
pasture will take care of the weeds if
mot too numerous.

LONDON, July 1.-THE British gains
in the battle of the Somme, afer ten
days continuous fighting, cover a
front of nearly eight miles and include
the entire German first system of de-
fenses, according to the official report
forwarded by General Haig, the Brit
ish commander-in-chief on the French
front.
This advance includes a number OF
small towns and villages and positions
which are considered of great strate-
gic Importance.
Take Fortified Positions.
The British advance extended into
the German positions for depth of
1000 to 1900 yards. Many Of them
were strongly fortified. The woods
were full of trenches and surrounded
by barbed wires and what General
Haig describes as immensely strong
redoubts, had to be carried by storm
At the same time, the Frnech army
under General Foch has moved up in
the southern section OF, the Somme un-
til it now holds the dominating hills
around Peronne, the possession Of
which the Germans are likely to con-
test with utmost determination.
e.; Retake Contamination
The British have taken Conta1maj.
son and are again in control of near:
ly tn centre extent of Trones WOOD
and Mametz wood.
The French along the Somme car
ried some minor detached positions
which enabled them to strengthen
their positions at LaMaisonnette and
apparently they are waiting for the
British to strengthen their lines before
making the attempt to drive the Ger
mans out of Peronne.
Take $4,000 Prisoners
In this great battle about $4,000
prisoners have been taken by the
Franco-Brtish forces, of whom the
British announce they have captured
$500.
In the Verdun sector, the Germans
have succeeded in getting a footing
in the Damloup battery, which has
been bone of contention for days
past, and in the French line in the
Fumin wood on the right bank of thu
Meuse. At other points the Ger.

HARD TO PASS
!. THE PHYSICAL
EXAMINATION

Some of the boys of the Nation.l
Guard have met with defeat sooner
than they had any reason to suppose
they might. We refer, Of coruse, :,
the physical examination on mastering
into the federal service. It is no light
reverse for the young men who have
been rejected on account Of failure to
come up to the strict standard Of ply
sical condition required by the United
States government.
With the most commendable motives
they submitted themselves at armory,
,;aade grounds and maneuvers at tho
state camp to prepare themselves for
. possible service to the commonwealth
Spr;country. When occasion for this
service arose they responded to the
call. They bade goodbye to kin and
friends and went to the state camp,
to be followed thither for repeated
:adieux. Now few of them have had
to take the train for home as physi-
cally unfit for the possibly very ar
dous activity that will be required of
all who shall be soldiers on the border
or in Mexico.
In the rejected portion are young
men who are apparently very rugged
specimens Of young manhood. No
doubt many. a one. was surprised that
a disqualifying flaw was found in him,
ana proud boys will feel deeply the
humiliation of having this attested by
so unanswerable an authority as the
United States army medical examin-
,ers.
But it is no disgrace unless defect
is due to some vicious habit or excess,
for the examination is exceedingly
rigorous. The government does not
want men who may break down at
some weak spot when the great strain
inevitable in military campaign,
cqtne, It must pick men who stand
the best chance of staying in line and
nSt going to the hospital.
,E II. The fact that man is rejected does
not Eat all signify that he will not go
back to the farm, shop or office and
live an active life in perfect health un-
til old age. Among those whom Un-
Gle Sam refuses to enroll are no doubt
many With local regulations as ath-
'letes, and yet each with one weak spot
or unfavorable tendency that the re-
iifennents OF .ciiva life and ordinary
physical exercise viii never reveal, but
!. which the hardships of campaigning
wight soon discover.
The same discrimination has been
going on at all the state mobilization
camps. The testing hammers have
been used on the young men of the
guard as on the wheels of a train. If
the need Of men were greater, no
doubt the examination would be less
.exacting, but until the necessity arises
the government will not increase it's
own risks by abating it's requirements.
