THE CLEANEST TOWN
IN THE UNITED STATES

-Four years ago a scourge broke out
in Lyndon, Kansas Lyndon is hard
enough to find on the map at best,
but the typhoid pretty nearly wiped it
off altogether.
After the fever abated and the res
idents of the town got together and
determined that Lyndon should be
made the "cleanest town in the United
States"
A special election was called and a
bond issue of $65,0OO voted-quite a
bite for town Of less than 900 people.
There were some who protested
against the tax, but the determined
cleaners finally prevailed.
With the $65,O0O a complete sewer
system has been installed and new
water system. Today every house,
with one exception-a little unoccu.
pied place at the very edge of town
is connected with the sewer system.
So far as is known, there is no other
town, large or small, in the country Of
which this can be said. The club-wo-
men of the town are especially vigil
liant, and the first words a child is
taught in Lyndon are: "Swat the fly
and bat the rat"

again by leaving off coffee and some
articles of food that did not agree with
her.
She says:
For a number of years | suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which

ago ! left off coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along, but was so re.

him to leave of coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
a few days he found that he could
sleep and that his cramps disappeared.
He never went back to coffee" Name

The Eve of Mighty Events.

Nothing has been heard for several
weeks about the German advance upon
the Suez Canal and the projected con-
quest OF Egypt. Nor has anything been
heard recently of the German advance
upon India. which was to result in the
raising Of a revolt against Great Britain
in that vast territory. Incidentally It
may be observed that the Kaiser has
never gone to Constantinople There has
been a complete collapse of the grandiose
scheme of Germany to advance into India
and Africa. The overrunning of Serbia
and the fighting in Albania are the sum
total OF the achievement in this direc-
ton.
If all reports are true the German oak,
which was seeking to extend its branches
to cover Asia and Africa, is rapidly being
pressed into the original acorn. It is re-
ported that German and Austrian forces
are being withdrawn from the Balkans
so that they may be concentrated on the
eastern front. It is also reported that
the Turkish troops are being taken from
the same territory and hurried to the
Caucasus. On the other hand, the ad-
vance of the British and Russian forces
toward Bagdad continues. The relief of
the British expedition may be regarded
as a foregone conclusion. and there GER
tainly would appear to be ground for the
reports Of the effort Of Turkey to obtain
peace from Russia.
The reason for all this is the great
Russian exploit at Erzerum It has
knocked all the strategy Of the central
powers into "a cooked hat" This ia the
explanation undoubtedly of the German
effort, intensified almost to madness. on
verdun. Verdun Is expected to offset the
loss of Erzerum.
The military strength Of the allies at
every strategic point is probably quite
satisfactory. As to the sea, the giving Of
battle rests with the German navy, but
on land 1t would seem quite probable
that, regardless OF what happens at Yer
dun. mighty events are almost due.-Nev
