TIN CANS, AWAY WITH THEM!

Who would have thought that the

health? The expert malaria inves-
tigators of the Z. S. Public Health
Service have found however that dis
carded tin cans containing rain water
are breeding places for the mosquito
which is the sole agent in spreading
malaria. A hole in the bottom of the
empty can might have resulted i'll the
saving of a human life. Certainly it
would have assisted in preventing a
celebrating illness. Empty tin cans
nave no business about the premises

JOHND.' D.'SBEST MAN dies
: HIS BITTEREST ENEMY
Former Partners Quarreled Over Rocke-
feller's Business Methods.
spedal to The wsshinston Herald,


Eiyria. Ohio. Dec. SO.-Back in 1864
Frederick E. Sanford then a business
partner and intimate of John D.
Rockefeller, stood up as best man at
the wedding OF the future oil king. San
ford has just died, a bitter enemy OF
Rockefeller.
Behind the enmity lies a story of
how Sanford fearing that Rockefeller was
foredoomed to be a failure in business
because he was too reckless" cut away
from him and started a rival oil firm,
only to be wiped out and stripped of all
but comparative pittance by his former
friend.
Sanford. who was Is years old, was
born in Danbury Conn, but came to
Elyria with his parents when a child
Sanford studied law and became as
sOciated with a Cleveland law firm. but
soon the oil boon attracted him and he
became associated with Rockefeller, then
mere youth. The two young men be-
came bosom friends. as well as partners,
the family says, and when Rockefeller
was married he naturally asked Sanford
to be his best man
Shortly after this, the story goes. the
two men Quarreled and separated. San
ford becoming angry at the reckless
manner in which Rockefeller risked the
FIRMS finances. When they dissolved
partnership, Sanford predicted a speedy
finish for Rockefeller and organized the
oil firm of Sanford and Clark in Cleve-
land.
The new concern prospered for years
until the Standard Oil Company began
its campaign to monopolize the oil in
dustry, and finally was forced to sell out
to Rockefeller interests, after wasting
most of its assets in a vain effort to
fight him.
After the smash Sanford went to
syracuse but soon returned to Cleve-
land as cashier of a bank. A few years
later Sanford organized the German
American Bank of Cleveland and fifteen
years later retired to live with a daugh-

AMERICA CONFRONTED
BY PEACE PROBLEMS
Secretary Red6eld Says 1917 Brings
Responsibilities to Trade World.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Dec. 30.-The following 1917
trade outlook, as viewed by Secretary
of Commerce Redfield, is printed in to-
days New York Evening Post;
I'VE long ago endured the business
shock the war brought with it. For
many months we have been passing
through a period OF stimulation brought
by the war. This seems to be closing,
and we are apparently about to enter
upon the inevitable time of readtustment
to a peace basis.
The prospect Of peace seems to bring
with 1t only fear to many in the busi-
ness world. We are doing well now, say
they, but what is to happen? Since it is
not known precisely what Is to happen
or when 1t will happen, ghosts are con-
jured up and given form and power, and
men worry over the terrible possibility
from these creatures of their own crea-
ton What is wanted is not so much
nerves as nerve: not fear. but foresight;
not cowardice. but courage. Least among
all the peoples of the world have we
cause for dread. Our withers are un-
wrung'; our Golfers are full; our sons
survive.
There will be readjustments, possibly
difficult ones, but never was nation in
such shape to face them fearlessly as
are we today. If the problems prove
difficult, the greater need for sanity of
mind and clearness of thought about
them. They are not to be dealt with
better, but worse. If we are afraid of
them.
''One need not be needless because he
Is calm. A quiet mind is not an indica-
ton Of weakness or ignorance. Worry
and fear will not make the facts bet
ter, but merely weaken our power to
deal with them. How we shall deal with
them depends chiefly on ourselves. Have
we used the months of prosperity we'll?
Are our debts paid? Is depreciation
marked off? Are fixed assets marked
down to real values? Has the time of
prosperity been utilized to get rid of
old equipment? Are we as certain of
the fact that our methods are good as
we are that they will need to be good
Do we clearly understand what it costs
US to make goods and to do business ?
Have we clear knowledge of our over
head charges and of how to deal with
them? Have We used the days Of sun
shine to prepare for the time when It
may rain? If we have done so We may
approach the contest like a trained ath-
lete. fearless Of difficulties, counting
them foemen worthy of our STEEL
