Tin Can a Menace


Who would have thought that
the tin can is a menace to the
public health? The expert ma
laria investigators of the u. S.
public health service have found,
however, that discarded tin cans
containing rain water are breed
ing places for the mosquito,
which is the sole agent in spread
ing malaria. A hole in the bot
tom of the empty can might have
resulted in the saving of human
life. Certainly it would have
assisted in preventing a debil-
itating illness. Empty tin cans
have no business about the prem
Uses anyway, but if we must SO
decorate our back Yards, let's see
to it that the can has hole in
the bottom.

Curing the Drug Habit.

The drug habit can be cured. At
least, so say the authorities of the
Philadelphia General hospital, after
four months of experimentation with
the drug victims who sought it's aid,
after the enactment Of the new anti
drug law. Since March 1 the hospital
has dealt with .250 of these unfortu-
mates, and, in every case the craving
for the drug whether opium, cocaine,
morphine, heroin or laudanum-was
checked and broken The victims
came from dives and from homes;
they were of all ages, and eighty of
them were women But they were all
successfully treated
1.-THE habit" said the chief resident
physician, "can be cured. The process
is one of giving the victim a backbone.
But right here is the crux of the whole
matter-if man doesn't want to be
cured, he can't be cured"
1t is a great and important message,
full of hope to drug victims every
where and to those who love them and
grieve to see them in the bonds of a
destructive slavery. Columbus Dis

Buchanan, J. M. McDufie.
Alternates-P. B.s.Smith, R. M.
Roberts, ]. w. Kingsley.
At noon the veterans were in.
vited in a house where long ia
bles were spread and covered
with everything good to eat. The
tables were spread and. presided
over by the noble ladies of Net
Teton.
After dinner and the transac-
ton of all business the veterans,
preceded by the members ofasthe
U. D. C. and the Nettleton band,
marched to the public school
building, where splendid and
delightful program had been ar
ranged by the daughters.
The address of welcome was
delivered by Rev. Cunningham,
of the Christian church, in which
he alluded to the women as the
greater army and one not men
toned in history.

IRON JEWELRY NO NOVELTY
Patriotic Prussian Woman Wore Such
Ornaments With Pride More
Than Century Ago.

Many months ago, almost from the
beginning of the war, we were told
that German women, following the ex-
ample of their great-grandmothers
voluntarily gave up their gold rings,
necklets, earrings, bracelets and orna-
ments OF every description, to be
made or coined into money for the
national need.
= Whatever truth there may be in this
story, there is no doubt that many
German women have been presented
by the government with iron rings to
replace the gold ones they have parted
with.
But that happened century ago.
Then Prussia, crushed by Napoleon,
and bankrupt. was in dire need Of
money, and the Prussian women gave
up all their jewels and ornaments to
help cope with the prevailing poverty.
And out of this sacrifice new indus
try arose.
This was nothing less than the man.
ufacture Of cast-iron jewelry to replace
the gold and silver ornaments which
the great ladies of the kingdom had
given up. At first sight no material
would seem less promising as a SUBJ
stitute for the precious metals than
iron. 1t was entirely owing to the
wonderful craftsmanship of the IRON
workers that the results were so ex-
traordinary.
Strength, of course, would be a dis
tinguishing mark of such jewelry, and
a complete set of these iron orna-
ments, now in the possession of To.
ronto (Canada) jeweler, is as rigid
and firm as on the day it was made.
This particular set, comprising a pair
of earrings, necklet, locket and brace
let's, has not been looked after until
lately.
The ornaments have q wonderfully
fragile appearance, due entirely to
the exquisite workmanship. Their
weight, too, is astonishingly small, the
lightness Of every article being quite
feature of the set.

Farmers Aid Asked in Con-
trolling May Beetles

Many Mississippi farmers are
aiding the scientific development
of agriculture in the state by CO.
operating with the workers of
the Mississippi A. & M. College
in the control of insect and plant
diseases.
In this connection farmers
who are interested in growing
pecans and orchard fruits can
aid in the control of the May
Beetle which attacks the ten
der leaves and buds of the trees
in the spring. The May beetles
are large chocolate colored bugs
which fly by night and stay in
concealment during the day.
They may be found at night,
however, by the use of a Ian
tern.
A systematic study of the
habits and methods of control of
these bugs is being made by R.
w. Harmed, state entomologist
in cooperation with the u. S.
Department of Agriculture. To
determine the distribution of the
pest, Mr.. Harmed is asking those
who notice signs of the work of
these beetles to catch a few Of
them and mail them to the En-
tomology Department, Agricul-
tural College, Mississippi. To
any one who will send his name
government franking tags will
be forwarded for mailing the
bugs.

Talk-The Manner of Il.

The high schools and colleges Of
the day ought to do something more
to teach students how to talk. The
young men would be better off. for
some instruction of the kind, but in
the case Of the young women it is lit
tie less than necessity. Their voices,
to be candid, are by no means as pleas
ing as they might easily be were their
possessors even reminded occasional
ly Of the value of meditation, varia-
ton, softness and correct and fairly
precise pronunciation. AS it is, how
ever, the sweet girl graduate has any
thing but voice and a manner of
speaking consistent with the refresh
ing charms with which she is other
wise SO generously blessed. In one
university In the state typical of 9TH
ers-a visitor recently observed that
nearly every young wcn44r- inaklaf
senior class was woefully addicted to
habits of INSTRUMENTATION And
their voices" he added, were most
distressing. What they said was well
enough, but the manner of their say
ing it was-agonizing." The indict-
ment, it must be admitted, is well
founded. 1t is one, however, that
should never be brought-for which
there should be no support. And
there would be none Of it, either, if
no more than casual attention were
paid to the matter in our schools and
colleges. Singing is taught-to be
only rarely used. Why not teach talk

GERMAN SAVINGS BANKS MAKE
 RECORD

BERLIN, March 20. - The German savings banks scored a remarkable record in 1915, according to a state ment just issued by Herr Reusch, the statistician of these institutions, who estimates that the gain in deposits for the year reached at least $900,000, 900, not taking account of the amounts withdrawn for making subscriptions to the two war loans of the year. AS subscriptions to the latter amounted to about $1,O70, 100000, the net reduc- tion Of deposits was about $17O,0OO,- GOO. Reusch further says that the gain in deposits was not due entirely

ENGLISH WOMEN RESPOND TO
 DUTY GALL

LONDON, March 20. - The call for 100000 women to replace the 350.O men who will be missing from agri- cultural pursuits throughout Great Britain in the spring, has been heard by responsive ears and without criti- cism from any of the women's organi- cations or from the press. Only a small portion of the press, after refer ring to the sacrifices made by women so far in the war, describe the new appeal of the government as bold. The press as a whole is unanimous in de claring that no critic since the war began has challenged the energy and devotion with which the British wo- men have responded to the call made upon their services.

COMING N ] R HI M J q
 PLAY CAME

That Rev. s. Hall Young. formerly Presbyterian minister in Cordova, is a good booster for the north, Is evil dent from a clipping from the Mime apolis Journal, which recently arrived here. It read:
 Rev s. Hall Young, a Presbyterian minister and missionary, who estab- Iished a church in Alaska as early as 1879, told a fascinating story in West minister church last night of the gold stampede of 1897, and later to the Arctic regions. His lecture was illus trated with more than 100 stereopti- con pictures. That Alaska will, with in three years, be competing with Pennsylvania for the bituminous coal business of Minneapolis was one of his observations.
 From the land for which the United States paid $2,7OO,O0O to Rus sia, there has been produced $26O,- 900 900 in gold, the speaker said. This precious metal, he said, is far from being the only Alaskan source of f riches. The coal deposits and the az ricultural resources of the territory were also set forth.
 'Dr. Young praised the character of the natives of Alaska, and their susceptibility to Christian influences. said there were 60,OOO whites living in the territory, and appealed for a larger missionary and church effort to bring and keep the people in the faith.
 Its the finest climate in the world" said the speaker. Disease germs have little show in Alaska, and as an evidence of how children thrive in the land of the midnight sun, he introduced 'Wiggles' and 'Giggles, two youngsters who were hardy look ing specimens.
 Missionary or laymen, the man who goes to Alaska must live the life and play the game of the people there, he said. It's no place for mollycod- dies or blubberers."

ALASKANS HELD
 UP BY FOUR :. BANDITS

In letter written by William A. Gilmour, to friend in Nome, he tells about an escapade in which John Me Ginn and George Max Esterly are the heroes. The portion of the letter dealing with the robbery, is as fol- lows:
 "A few nights before I left, Johnny McGinn, of Fairbanks, and George NJ. Esterly, of Cordova, were out at the CIearmont roadhouse, near the Pre- sidfo, with others and four auto ban dits came in and held the place up. The wore masks, and it was as good as a circus to hear Esterly and McGinn tell how 1t happened. Ester ly thought it a joke, but the handits soon convinced him and he stuck up his hands at least eight feet in the air while the bandit raked $250 out of him. McGinn lost $25 and valu- able fob.
 John told the fellow to hurry up with the job, as the placed closed in five minutes, and it was too late to go anywhere else for a drink. One patron edged out of the room to the telephone and called the police. As the four badits left. the police auto arrived. and in the duel one robber was killed and police corporal nor tally wounded. He since died. The others escaped"

In round figures, the foreign trade of the country has reached s54, 4,3OO,OOO during the past year, according to the report, doubling the sum of five years ago. The value of exports has risen nearly three-fold, with the result that the excess of i'm ports over exports, which once stood at 100 per cent, has dropped to 20 per cent.
