RECORD OF LONG SPEECHES
Given Opportunity for States
men Gifted With Words.

Under the rule of unlimited debate
several speeches have been delivered
that lasted longer than the twelve
hours of the address in the Austrian
parliament. But these speeches were
Interrupted by calls for quorums and
sometimes by colloquies with other
senators. These Interruptions some
times permit the senator holding the
floor to leave the chamber for few
minutes during the calling of a quo
rum. The longest record of speaking
uninterruptedly in the senate was
made by Senator Reed Smoot of Utah,
who, without interruption, spoke II
hours and % minutes on the night of
January 27-28, 1915, in opposition to
the ship purchase bill. With inter
ruptions permitted by the rules, the
long-distance record was made by Sen
ator Robert II. La Palette of Wiscon-
sin, who held the floor for Is hours
and 80 minutes, on May 1890, 1908,
against the Aldrich-Vreeland currency
bill. The late Thomas H. Carter of
Montana, when he was in the senate,
delivered humorous address on
March 2-3, 1901, in flibuster against
the river and harbor bill, and his COM
ment lasted IA hours. Ex-senator
Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, now a
candidate for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination, on September 49,
10, 1914, in one-man flibuster that
had the effect of reducing the river
and harbor bill by about $30,000,000,
spoke IL hours and 10 minutes. In the
great filibuster against the Force bill'
in 1891, Charles j. Faulkner, then SEN
ator from West Virginia, spoke 10
hours, on January 16.

WOMAN HAS PET BUTTERFLY
box and Survived the Cold
Weather.

Mrs Ruth Clark Bellah of Montclair,
N. j., has butterfly as household
pet. The butterfly is probably the only
one in New Jersey that has lived
through the winter On October Is it
was found in the Bellah house under
a lace curtain Mrs. Bellah placed the
little thing in small box with a net
ting over it rather than put-it outdoors
to freeze.
To her surprise the butterfly lived,
so she then put it in a large hatbox
with netting over the top and sprinkled
the netting with sugar and water The
butterfly is a dark reddish brown,
with pale yellow and blue splashes
near the end of it's wings. When
asleep or when it's wings are closed
it resembles dried leaf. Mrs. Bel
lab finds that the butterfly sleeps most
of the time. but she never fails to put
it in the sunshine every bright day
and to give it sweetened water. AS
soon as the sun warns it up the but
ter1y opens it's wings and flies back
and forth in it's cage, thus taking it's
daily exercise. 1t is considered re-
markable that the butterfly has sur
vived, even with the tender care that
has been bestowed upon it.

Perfectina a Submarine.

Since the war began the submarine,
measured by it's power over human
life, has taken precedence over all 9TH
er inventions
So swift has been its development
that the first instance of a submarine
sinking a hostile craft without being
sunk itself occurred only in 1914.
But like many other inventions only
recently perfected, the submarines
history goes back many generations,
as far back as the reign of James /,
when one Cornelius Van Drebel, a
Dutch scientist in England, devised
what Ben Jonson referred to in one
of his plays as an invisible eel'' to
murder the fiat bottoms" of hostile
ships
But it was Yankee, David Bush
nell, who developed the submarine
from useless plaything into a po-
tentially formidable weapon.

NESTS IN
FILTH--HELP TO
KILL HIM

The housefy is foul and dangerous
HttIe pest. The female lays her eggs
IN manure, in human excrement or in
the hesh of dead and rotting animals.
never anywhere else. The eggs hatch
into maggots and the maggots feed on
the Nth until they sprout wings. and
become flies. The flies swarm into
our homes, bringing with them the
germs OF many diseases especially
typhoid, consumption and dysentery
which they deposit on our food.
Many OF our homes were saddened
last year by death resulting from dis
eases. spread by flies. Therefore the
nouse1y is our deadly enemy and we
ought to kill him off as far as possible
before warm weather comes. To do
this effectually will require the COOP
Grafton of the whole community
Cleanliness generally speaking, is the
nys greatest enemy, but if one man
cleans up his place-removing all
oarnyard filth, keeping garbage cans
covered, etc.-and his neighbors on
either side do not follow suit, the one
man will not be protected from flies
and disease.
This war on flies is a job for the
whole town, and it is big one. It is
suggested that our local authorities or
some of our active citizens call a meet
ing and make plans at once to start
the campaign for fly determination.
Let us enlist the aid of the health of
hcers, the physicians, the merchants,
the lawyers, the mechanics, the wom-
en- and the boys and girls.
1t will be necessary to have a num-
Der of committees to look after the
many angles of the work and see that
proper preventive measures are taken
to remove the opportunities for flies
to lay eggs and hatch them. Swatting
the fly is ineffective--you only kill
one fly at swat But if you begin
earlier by spraying manure piles and
the contents of clubhouse vaults with
kerosene or with chloride of lime, SO
that fly eggs will not hatch in these
masses, you prevent the birth of mil
lions of flies.
The state board of health will be
glad to send us all kinds of informa-
ton helpful in carrying on a fly war,
if our local doctors have none on hand.
After the campaign organization is
formed, about the first thing to do is
to get reliable information and put it
IN the hal DIS of our people.
Who will make the first move to
start the campaign?

No Filth No Flies!

Flies and filth go together No filth,
no flies! About the only good thing
you can say about the fly is that his
presence should stimulate you to hunt
up the place where he was born and
destroy it SO that it may breed no
more Of his kind
Fly swatting may be popular pas
time. 1t has been talked about much.
So far, it has proved ineffective. The
well-meaning person, applying the
swatter ct every opportunity, kills one
fly at time. The removal of the con-
tents of single manure box will swat
millions of them at blow.
Screens and swatters are good
thing, but clean neighborhood is the
best. Get busy!

CoUer Manure Box
and Garbage Cen

A proper system of manure disposal
is more important than all other meas
ures combined as method of con-
trolling the fly nuisance. A proper
method of garbage collection and dis
posal is next in Importance. The gar
bage should be drained, wrapped in
paper and collected in f1y-proof metal
bucket. The bucket should be washed
at intervals with lye soap and water
and then sponged with kerosene in
water
The foregoing advice is from the IA
NOUS sanitary authority, DR.. w. A.
Evans of Chicago. In our local cam
paign we should utilize this informa-
ton to the utmost It has long been
recognized that swatting the fly would
never rid the community of his whole
tribe forever more. We have learned
that we must make war on him early
in the season by getting rid of his
breeding places and his natural
sources Of food supply-filth.
Some of us are inclined to grumble
that campaigning against flies is
mighty troublesome. Well, the grum-
blers will find it less troublesome to
campaign effectually against flies than
to nurse a member of the family
through a spell of typhoid fever-and
much less expensive.

MORE USE OF NATURAL GAS
Government to Conduct Experiments
With a View of Determining the
Possibilities.

The government has at last seen the
wonderful possibilities in the use of
natural gas in many industries, and
has established bureau at Pittsburgh
for the purpose of making experiments
in the more efficient use of the fuel in
industry says the Wall Street Journal.
One of the lines along which the bu-
reau is working is in the use of natural
gas in firing porcelain. Our manufac-
turers have learned the secret of fash
Joining porcelain, but the firing has
been so expensive that the American
ware cannot compete with that from
Europe and Japan, the latter country,
since the outbreak of the war, furnish
ing practically all the porcelain
shipped to the United States.
THE experimental work at Pitts
burgh is something the government
has often been asked to do which it
has declined until the present" said
natural gas man the other day. With
thorough federal investigation into
the possibilities of natural gas as
manufacturing medium, many invest
ments which have been transitory in
character can be made permanent.
With increased efficiency it will be
profitable to pipe natural gas from long
distances to the field of utilization, and
an increase in the price would not be
resented by these consumers. There
are many manufacturing towns in
Pennsylvania and other states that
have been partially abandoned because
of the decrease in their natural gas
supply. The federal investigation
opens the possibility of such places be-
ing made permanent investments"

After Grip Then
Spring Fever?

This is the time OF year to look
out for trouble! We feel weak-our
blood seems hot-no appetite.-lt's
time to clean house! This is when
the blood is clogged and we suner
from what is commonly called a cold.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry purifies the blood and entirely
eradicates the poisons that breed and
feed disease. Pure blood is essential
to good health. The weak, rundown,
debilitated condition which so many
people experience is commonly the eff.
feet of impure blood. Medical Discov-
cry" not only cleanses the blood of i'm
purities, but Increases the activity of
the blood-making glands, and enriches
the body with pure, rich blood.

Within the last ten years throughout
the country the children's court has
sprung up as necessary and legiti-

ity. Denver has developed a court in
which the judge was striking figure;

court wide publicity The juvenile tri-
bunals of Chicago and Boston are ex-
amples of courts in which the old idea
of punishment has given way to that

Sudden Death
Caused by Disease Of the Kidneys

SoASC4 ~ OAoC0OG VA LAG AAAunCyS
The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is we'll known
nowadays. When Kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
neart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease of brain
or lungs.
1t is a good insurance against such
q risk to send 10 cents for large
trial package of "Anuric" latest
discovery of DR.. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, WORKOUT
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist.
It's 81 times more potent than lithia,
dissolves uric acid as hot water does

Paws Bill overdue Forty Years.

Job M. Smith, local undertaken,
had the surprise of his life this week,
when William Penn of Waretown came
to his office, told him he wanted to
settle his bill for undertaking services
and passed over a roll of $50 in bank
notes. Smith said he had no account
against Penn, and then the latter ex-
planned that the bill had been contract
ed with the undertaker's father, the
late Joseph l. Smith, in 1876.
Smith consulted the old books and
found the charge of burying Mrs. Penn
forty years ago. Penn said he had
been living in another part OF the
country for many years, and recently
discovered the old unpaid bill.-Tuck-

One way to control the fly is
to catch it in such a trap as
is shown above. The trap may
be placed near the garbage can,
or any other place that the flies
are sure to come. A simple
and effective trap may be made
from grocery box by substi-
tuting wire netting for the top
and two sides, cutting a round
hole in the bottom and inserting
in it a wire netting cone with
an eighth-inch opening at the
bottom and half-inch opening
at the top. Some article of
food, preferably a fish head,
should be placed inside for bait.
The trap must be elevated sew
eral inches above the ground, so
as to give the flies a chance
to enter. When the trap is full,
it may be emptied by shaking
it's contents through a small
opening, ordinarily closed by
sliding door. The trap described
and shown in the illustration is
particularly effective one, as
it was planned with view to
the fiy's habits. The odor Of
food leads the fly to enter the
trap at the bottom. Once inside
it is attracted to the top by the
light. When it gets out of the
wire cone it cannot escape. The
trap has the additional virtue of
being inexpensive. 1t may be
made at a cost of about twenty
cents and about a half hours
time.
