The Pythagorians Of Ancient
Greece ate simple food, practiced tenn
perance and purity. As a badge they
used the five pointed star which they
regarded as a symbol of health. A
red five pointed star appears on each
package of Chamberlain's Tablets,
and still fulfils it's ancient mission as
a symbol of health. If you are troubl-
ed with Indigestion, biliousness or
constipation, get a package Of these
tablets from your druggist. You will
be surprised at the quick relief which
they afford. Obtainable everywhere.

Investigation continued into the
death of Mrs. q. E. Keister, whose
charred, body was found in the attic
of her home near Norfolk Thursday,
after her husband had attempted sui
eide. The, husband, who is a real
estate dealer, was in serious con-
dition at local hospital. He added
nothing to his explanation that he
had told his wife to leave the house
while he attempted to save valua-
bles and that he was forced by the
flames to jump from a second-story
window. Finding of stick covered
with what were thought to be blood
stains near Mrs. Keister's body led
the authorities to make more care
full inquiry. Later a carpet soaked
with oil was found in the attic.

hOUSEFlY NESTS I'M
FILTH..HELP TO
KILL HIM

The hOusef1y is foul and dangerous
little pest. The female lays her eggs
in manure, in human eXcrement or in
the flesh Of dead and rotting animals,
never anywhere else. The eggs hatch
into maggots and the maggots feed on
the filth until they sprOut wings and
become flies. The flies swarm into
our homes, bringing with them the
germs of many diseases-especially
typhoid, consumption and dysentery
which they deposit on our food
Many Of our homes were saddened
last year by death resulting from dis
eases spread by flies. Therefore the
housefy is our deadly enemy and we
ought to kill him off as far as possible
before warm weather comes. To do
this effectually will require the COOP
GRAFTON of the whole community.
Cleanliness, generally speaking, is the
fy's greatest enemy, but if one man
cleans up his place-removing all
barnyard filth, keeping garbage cans
covered, etc.-and his neighbors on
either side do not follow suit, the one
man will not be protected from flies
and disease.
This war on flies is a job for the
whole town, and it is a big one It is
suggested that our local authorities or
some of our active citizens call a meet
ing and make plans at once to start
the campaign for fly determination.
Let us enlist the aid of the health Of
fcers, the physicians, the merchants,
the lawyers, the mechanics, the WON
en- and the boys and girls.
1t will be necessary to have a num-
Der of committees to look after the
many angles Of the work and see that
proper preventive measures are taken
to remove the opportunities for flies
to lay eggs and hatch them. Swatting
the fly is ineffective-you only kill
one fly at swat. But if you begin
earlier by spraying manure piles and
the contents of clubhouse vaults with
kerosene or with chloride of lime, so
that fly eggs will not hatch in these
masses, you prevent the birth of mil
lions Of flies.
The state board of health will be
glad to send us all kinds of informa.
ton helpful in carrying on fly war
ii our local doctors have none on hand
After the campaign organization is
, formed, about the first thing to do is
| to get reliable information and put II
! in the hands of our people.
Who will make the first move to
start the campaign?

Char Effects.

The cigar I always regard as the
most patent symbol of blatant male
ness. It can apparently be held in the
teeth only at a certain angle, and this
angle always gives a peculiarly rakish
expression to the most benevolent
faces. The cigar tends to bring out
unconsciously in a mans expression all
those sa1oonkeeper and tough-pol1-
tician traits which are latent, / sup
pose, in every man. am often amused
to see how the faces of devout clergy
men or cultivated lawyers change as
soon as they get cigar into their
mouths. The hat unconsciously slips
back on the head, the cheeks uncon-
sciously become jowlish, the eye sly
and berry. An estimable human be-
ing has, with the cigar as pencil,
drawn a caricature of himself as a
predatory male. The cigar-smoker
leaves a trail behind him. His stale
ness is ever with you. About every
smoker there clings an atmosphere
like the rumor of graft or the fact Of
a prison sent

Uses for Everything.

We no longer throw away fortunes
as was once the case; today every
thing has it's use. Old bones go to
make soap and gelatine; are cut UP
into egg spoons, toothpicls, penknife
handles and toothbrushes. Scraps of
paper make paper again, papier macha
trays and dolls heads. Solder is TAX
en- from old tins, and broken glass be-
comes whole once more-via the melt
ing pot. A jeweler always gets enough
for an old waistcoat to buy him a new
one. Gold dust is found in the old
garment. For this reason his old
apron is very valuable. Pastry cooks
now keep the whites Of eggs, selling
them to photographers, with which to
prepare their albumenized paper. For
many years coal-tar was pest; no.
body knew what to do with it. 1t
seemed to have no atom of use. Now
it is converted into beautiful aniline
dyes.
