JUDGE cLASSON In DOOR COUNTY

Judge David G. Classon, Republican
candidate for congress in the Ninth
district and theman appointed to swing
the Old Ninth back in the Republican
column where it belongs, opened his
campaign here Monday evening with
speech at the opera house. A large
crowd heard him and appeared in sym
pathy with his attitude on American
politics.
Mr.. Classon's slogan is prepared
ness, peace, protection and prosper
ity." and he talked vigorously on these
subjects.
eve stand for pure Americanism,
said Mr.. Classon. "Our neutrality is
a positive quantity. / believe that by
neutrality is meant the power to resist
all attempts of any foreign power di-
rected against our interests. We must
not be pushed about by any of the
great nations, but should steer mid
die course and prevent any country
from using us to further it's own pur-
pose"
The Mexican policy md the tariff
situation also were discussed by him.
He considered the Mexican problem in
detail, telling how "watchful waiting"
had affected diplomatic dealings be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
and how Mexico was no better off than
ID was before.
Before the war and just after the
Underwood tariff bill was passed." de-
clared Mr.. Classon, commenting on
the tariff, this nation was beginning
to see the spectre hard times Thou
sands of men. were out of work all over
the country.
Revenue to the government was de-
creasing every day. Imports, practi-
cally free, were able to compete with
American products Then the Europe
au war changed the situation. A forced
prosperity smoothed the way for the
Democratic administration. Had there
been no war in Europe, this country
would now be in the throes of one of
the worst panics in history"
Mr.. Classon is a man of great ability;
is an eloquent speaker; is well-posted
on all the great national questions or
issues and knows what he is talking
about. The audience was very atten-
tive and INTEREST," i, and the candidate
impressed everyone very much as to
his ability.
Judge Classon arrived here on Mon
day evening, accompanied by his cam
paign manager, John B. Chase of
Oconto. A delegation of friends from
Oconto came over in boat to hear the
Judge talk, among them being j. w.
Hall, sditor and publisher of the Ocon-
TO Lumberman, a newspaper founded
by him fiftytwo years ago.
Elk congressman Miuor introduced
Judge Classon as the man who would
lead the Old Ninth back into the Re-
publican ranks in November. Mr.. Mi
nor proudly spoke of the big majorities
Door county gave him in the old days
and said it was time that Door county
threw it's strength to the Republican
party from one end of the ticket to the
other.
Judge Classon supports the straight
nation and state Republican ticket and
indications for Republican landslide
were never better thsn they are this
fall.-Door County Democrat, October
13, 1916.

WAR on FLIES Will
PREVENT TYPHOID
States Freedom From Dread Disease
Rests on Efficacy OF Methods
Used Against Pests.
SCREENING SHOULD BE GENERAL
No Use Barring Danger Out OF Win
dows and Leaving Doors Unprotcct-
ed---Statc Board Gives Excellent
Advice.

The man who wants to keep his
premises free of flies this summer
must reckon on dealing with an en-
envy who has learned the modern
methods of warfare and knows how
to employ siege tactics. trench fight
ing and grand assaults. Such Is the
warning given today In a bulletin of
the State Board OF Health, which out
lines the methods by which the fly
nuisance Ia to be combatted.
The spring offensive of the files
will begin In full force during the
next few weeks" declares the board,
and will continue with undated fury
until late in the summer when 1t will
gradually abate. The warm weather
now prevalent throughout the State
encourages the breeding OF h:as In
great numbers. while the insanitary
condition OF many premises insures
the pest access to disease-laden filth
THE best way OF fighting flies is
of course, to break up their breeding
places, but this is almost impossi-
BILE in the country, unless the premises
are kept scrupulorsly clean and the
stable and barnyard receive constant
attention. In the cities, of course,
except where there are stables and
chicken yards, conditions are mu' h
more favorable for war on the fly
in his trenches.
Where the breeding places OF flies
cannot be destroyed, the first essen
tial is to keep them from having ac-
cess to the body wastes This means
that safety depends primarily on the
construction and regular use by all
mem bers of the family of sanitary
clubhouse. Where this Is done. the fly
may be a nuisance, but can hardly
be a menace; but where this is not
done. the fly Is a worse nuisance and
a far greater danger.
Screening, to be really useful, must
be general IT is waste OF time
and money to screen the windows and
leave the doors open. Where screens
cannot be supplied for the whole
house, they should be used for the
kitchen. the dining room. the dairy
end where there Is baby. for the
room In which 1t stays. 1T is best to
purchase No IA wire netting as this
will exclude mosquitoes as we'll as flies.
Care must always be taken to cover
the fireplace as we'll as the windows
and best results are to be had from
screens that fit entirely over the win
frame and work on hinges
Screens over only part of the window
often admit flies.
"A great deal of good can be ac-
complished by employing large fly
traps of the old begun variety,
properly haited. Working designs for
makipe such traps can be had from
the state Board of Health.
Commercial fly paper is good, but
relatively expensive. All adequate
substitute can be made by boiling resin
in castor oil until 1t is thick enough
TO hold the flies when spread on news
papers.

considered as probable. 1t is pointed
out that the issue is clean cut, beluG(

the delegates want to be sent to thu
