NOT CONSISTENT.

The newspapers that are now criti-
cising Harding, who stands on dry
platform and declares that he is sat
isfied with it, are the same newspa-
pers that have followed the leadership
of Cummins, who left the party be-
cause he did not agree with its advo-
cacy of prohibition. We are not say
ing this to reflect in any way upon
Cummins, whom the party has so
greatly honored since his return to it,
but simply to call attention to a rath-
er peculiar phase OF Iowa politics.

GUARDING HEALTH.

Cleanliness is the best OF all pre-
cautions against the dread infantile
epidemic which is snufnng out the
lives of hundreds of infants In New
York City at present. The Danger
that the epidemic may spread is SUI
flcient1y great to cause Apprehension
In almost every state in the union ana
warnings have been sent broadcast ad-
wishing the people what to do to guard
against the disease. The warnings
sent out by various state health
bureaus and various physicians OF
note may differ slightly in some minor
details, but every one urges cleani1-
ness as the first precaution.
It behooves everyone, therefore, to
closely observe the rules Of cleanli-
ness about their persons and about
stheir homes Every domicile should
be strictly sanitary. Garbage should
be properly and promptly disposed OF;
sinks and ice boxes should be Kept
clean and sweet pumps and cisterns
should be carefully examined to make
sure the water is pure. If there are
any outhouses on the premises they
should be done away with and every
trace OF them removed. Nothing
should be left undone in the fight on
that which is unclean or impure.
Cleanliness and purity assure high
degree of vitality and this in turn goes
far toward assuring against diseases
of all kinds, because it is the body OF
low vitality that flrst falls victim to
disease. s
Other rules on which most authori,
ties agree, forbid kissing of children,
warn against sneezing OF. coughing IN
public, advocate the oiling or sprink-
ling Of streets to lay the dust and in
sist that the ny must be exterminated.
