Swat the Fly
and SAGE the
Child
By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D.

At this time of year, to paraphrase
Scripture, "A mans flies are they of
his own household but they soon
wander forth n search of breeding
place to deposit their eggs and even
though your own premises may be
spotlessly clean and free from dirt
heaps, dust heaps, garbage dumps, or
manure piles, they will keep on flying
until they find place which is filthy
enough to make them feel at home,
and settle down, from which their
children will return to make life
burden for you. So little neighbour
hood scouting and cooperation be-
comes necessary.
Fortunately, the classic question,
who is my neighbour can be easily
and promptly answered from a fly
fighting point of view, viz: Anyone
who lives or barns" within ESQ or
800 yards Of your house, for this is
about the foraging range and fight
limit Of flies, unless carried by winds
or upon vehicles or domestic animals.
II you can induce all within that
limit by peaceable persuasion TO play
up and clean up like good citizens
and neighbors, well and good. If not,
an appeal to the Board OF Health or
to the police will be in order. This is
not a personal matter, but a public
duty, according to the new health
commandments: Thou shalt bear
witness against thy neighbor's gar
bage heap and against his manure
pile"
In the meantime, while waiting for
the offending and Ay-breeding dirt
heap to be hauled away, II is COM
paratively simple matter to make it
temporarily harmless, without max
ing yourself liable to spite suits for
damages on the ground of spelling
the manure for fertilizer purposes.
As tested out and recommended by
the United States Department OF Ag-
riculture, sprinkling and soaking such
pest heap with solution Of one
half pound OF powdered hellebore in
ten gallons of water (stirring we'll and
allowing ii to stand for twenty-four
hours), will destroy all the ffiaggots,
eggs and larvae which are then pres
ent. Almost equally good results, al
though not quite so certain, can be
secured by sprinkling freely with
powdered borax and then pouring
water over. so as to carry It down ali
through the mass. The amount OF
a gallon to the bushel Of manure.

Household Suggestions

After cleaning pictures, test all the
cords before putting them up again
and if they are at all weakened put
on new ones.
When washing silver, used wood
en- tub or bowl if possible. There
will then be less danger Of the sill
yer getting scratched.
II new tinware is rubbed over with
fresh lard and thoroughly heated in
the oven before it is used, it will
never rust afterwards, no matter how
much it is put in water.
Dampen knives slightly before rub
bling. You will find it cleans the
knives quickly and much easier for
yourself and gives very bright
polish.
To restore navy blue skirt to its
former good condition, take equal

parts of vinegar and linseed oil.
Shake we'll and apply with a soft rag;
after well rubbing polish with an
other soft dry cloth.
To clean brass bedsteads, rub them
with a cloth dipped in salad oil, then
rub with soft cloth and with a
chamois leather.
Take great care of the milk; unless
you have very cool place to keep it,
boil it as soon as it arrives. Keep
it covered with a clean muslin cloth,
To clean a black straw hat roll a
piece of black velvet around your
finger and rub the straw with this,
folio wing the curve of the hat. The
velvet will thoroughly clean the hat
and remove the dust.
This SURELY shows that sugar is
not suitable for that person at that
time, but used moderately and at the
right season sugar has the highest
kind of endorsement.

MANS NINE DAUGHTERS
VIM ELECTION FOR HIM

Lorain, O., Aug. ALBERT
Baker was nominated for trea-
surer of Lorain County because
his nine daughters campaigned
for him. For a week before the
election the Baker sisters scour-
ed the county working in behalf
of their father. On the day be-
fore the voting they organized
an automobile parade with a
band on a truck, and made a
spectacular finish of their polit-
ical eorts.
On election day the nine
daughters divided their forces,
one each being stationed at the
voting places in the most popu-
lated districts. As result their
father, comparatively unknown,
was nominated by the Republi-
cans of the county, winning in
a field of seven candidates.

A GOOD PRESCRIPTION
few years ago the Bostf

"A rev years ago the Boston
Sunday-School Quarterly adver-
tised the following prescription
as an almost infallible remedy
for periodical Sunday headaches
and similar ailings which hinder
people from attending divine
services on that day: "On Sun
day morning rise at six; use
plenty of cold water on the face,
and eat a plain, hearty break
fast. Then mix up and take in
ternally a dose composed of e.
quail parts of the following in
gradients: Will, push, energy,
determination, self-respect for
Gods day, respect for Gods
house, a desire to be somebody.
Stir well, add a little love, just
to make it sweet. Repeat the
dose every three minutes till
Sunday-shool time, unless relief
comes sooner. If the day is
stormy. an external application
of overshoes, rubber coat, ETC.,
will be beneficial. Selected.

NEALE AND KELLISON TO
COACH AT WESLEYAN

Buckhannon, August 18th
Especially After negotiations
thate extended over seven
months an agreement was final
ly closed today whereby Earle
Neale, at present starring in the
out-field for the Cincinnati Ma
tiona League baseball club and
former Wesleyan athlete of
great prominence, will be head
coach for the football team this
fall and also handle the basket
ball team in the winter. The
coming of Neale to Wesleyan
has been predicted for months
but he has been under contract
at Muskingum College to coach
the athletic teams there during
the coming year and was only
released in a letter received by
athletic director Stansbury here
today. j. l.. FELTON,, former
Wesleyan coach takes Neale's
place at Muskingum.
Neale has had a somewhat
brief but brilliant athletic ca
reer. He came to Wesleyan
from Parkersburg High school
in the fall of 1912 and for three
years he was one Of the main
stays of the football, basketball
and baseball teams. In addition
to being a star on the teams he
consistently exhibited the char
acteristics that make good
coacn and after leaving here in
1914 he went to Muskingum
College where in 1915 he gave
that institution one Of the best
football teams, in spite of med
iocre materials, that it has ever
boosted. His prominence in the
baseball world is marked. In
the spring Of 1914 he went from
Wesleyan to Toledo in the
American Association and in
1915 was with Wheeling in the
Central League. Being drafted
by Cincinnati that fall he has
made good in every sense of the
phrase and is considered one Of
the finds" Of the year in the big
leagues. - - -
AS has been announced Neale
will be assisted at Wesleyan by
J. S. Kellison, the star linemen
Of all football history at Wesley
an and between the two, and
with excellent material, a team
that can cope successfully with
Pennsylvania, Georgetown
Washington & Jefferson and the
other big teams scheduled, is
predicted.
When at Wesleyan Neale
played at end on the eleven but
was also a strong runner with
the ball and an adept at-receiv
ing forward passes.

HAVE YOU BEEN
OVER THE PIKE?
il
Ed. Progressive


Have yon been over the Pike
from here to Philippi =, of late?
If not, and you wish to punish
yourself or some one you have
but little love for, just take spin
down to the half way place.
At times you will think you are
sinking down into the earth. and
then again you will appear to be
going toward the skies; after the
experience some will feel like
praying others like "cussing,
and to know just who, they do
not care much who, just SO they
think Of some one. Without a
doubt this country belongs to the
people, and the officials who have
their affairs in hand should see
that they are taken care of.
Why are e'paying taxes? Mere
T ~ to decrease our bank ac-
counts? Some one is responsible
for the condition of the Pike.
If this condition is to con-
vince the travelling public what
bad roads are doing it is very
poor argument. In my judgment
it is the love we have for good
roads that is convincing, rather
than the hate we have for bad
roads that will satisfy the voters
that we should have i'm proved
roads.
II we are going to build our sell
YES new home, would it be pol
icy to let the roof rot off, the
old house. and let it leak down,
and soil all the furniture, and
have the house wife move things
all the time, and at every storm,
to prevent injury to the goods?
Would it not be wisdom to patch
up the old roof, and save what
was in the house, and have some
comfort right along?
So with our roads, Why not
patch them up? For ms lance,
take two good teams, two days,
with loose bottom beds, and four
good hands, a n d go to some
shale beds along the road side,
and haul that to where these
rough places are in the road and
cover them up, and then fill the
chucks, and ported places, and
lamp the shale or clay in those
holes which would give great
relief to the public with little
cost. And then have say two men
once a week, go over the section
with shovel, hoe, and a tamper,
and fill the places that might
have been thrown out. Would
this be money we'll spent? Think
of the strangers that are now
travelling over our Pike--If they
should judge our citizenship
by our roads, and present con-
! dition, what would they think
and what kind of judgment would
they pass upon u s. Just the
same we would Of other folks,
in other sections. And that would
be, likely, Il would take my
chances III Mexico, rather than
here
1t appears from the financiak
statement of our district that we
have funds. The people are de-
handing some relief on this piece
of road. So let us have it. If our
officials have not been over this
road, they have car, and they
had best go at once. and order
some work done.

NEWSPAPERS FACING
FAMINE IN PRINT PAPER
MILLS, WORKING "a HOURS, CAN'T
MEET DEMANDS CAUSED BY
GREAT NEWS EVENTS
Prizes Rise 100 Per Cent.

Washington, Aug. 22.-News-
papers of the United States are
face to face with print paper
famine.
Demand has so outgrown sup
ply in the past year that unless
all papers are held down to an
absolutely limited consumption
many will go hungry and some
will starve.
Present demands of newspap-
er readers, their appetities
whetted by two years of the
greatest news events of a CEN
tury, are more than the print
paper mills of this continent,
working night and day, can
meet.
So far, the excess demand has
been met by drawing on the re-
serve supplies of paper held by
the big mills to tide them over
emergencies of flood, fire or
strike.
But these reserves are now
nearly exhausted, and from now
on daily consumption will be alb
solutely limited to the daily out
put of the mills.
PRODUCTION AT STANDSTILL.
This shortage confronts news
paper publishers at a time when
pressure, both for news and adj
vertising space, is at its great
est.
The consumption of white pa
per by newspapers has bulged
more than 1000 tons a day over
the consumption two years ago.
Meanwhile, production of
newsprint paper has not only
been at standstill, but facili-
ties for producing it have ac-
tually been going backward.
With the paper mills of Eng
land and France turned to war
purposes, American mills have
been called upon to supply large
quantities of book and fine COM
mercial papers, heretofore made
abroad. ts~r,4s~
4 The prices Of these papers
have scared as much as 100 per
cent. Under inducement of
these fancy prices many Ameri-
can plants have turned from the
production of news-print paper
to the making Of these finer COM
mercial papers.
PAPER PRICES INCREASE
Since the Taft reciprocity
act, permitting Canadian print
paper and paper pulp to enter
the United States free of duty,
there has been little develop
ment of newspaper mills in the
United States.
Canadian mills have absorbed
the increased demand of Ameri-
can publishers.
Existing contracts, for most
part, do not fill the demands of
publishers since the increase in
circulation and size of papers.
And any additional quantities
are not only difficult to obtain,
but can be obtained only at in
creases of from 20 to 100 per
cent in price.
AS a result, American news
paper publishers are up against
one of the most difficult prob
lens they have ever faced-how
to meet an increasing circulation
and advertising demand on a
diminished paper supply, and
this supply secured only at
sharply higher prices.

Compares Present Crisis
With German Trouble

Rio Janeiro, June 27. The keen
interest with which Brazil is following
the developments of the crisis between
the United States and Mexico received
a pew impetus to-day following a spir-
tied discussion in the Chamber of

deputy made a bitter attack on the
United States
The discussion was opened by this
deputy, who commenting on the last
note sent to Mexico by Secretary Lans-
ing, declared he was astonished that
the United States should make Difficult
ties in accepting the explanations of
Mexico, while promptly accepting
those of Germany in regard to the sub
marine war. The speaker asserted
that Germany was continuing its un-
dersea campaign in violation of its
promise to Washington and that the
United States did not dare to protest
He concluded by expressing the hope
that Brazil would continue to main
tain its traditions by defending the
principle of the sovereignty of all
countries without regard to the econ
omic or military strength of any ma
ton. Deputy Souza Silva. speaking
for the government defended the in
ternationalp policy of the administration
and declared that Brazil stood firmly
for the solidarity and fraternity of the
American nations.
