ROME'S FALL
ATTRIBUTED TO
MOSQUITOES
BY Doctor Samuel G. Dixon in
His Little Talk on Health
and Hygiene.

HARRISBURG. Pa, May 25,-Rome
fell. not so much because IL stlbbed
It's toe on barbarian invasion or two.
but because there was a lack OF kero-
sene along the banks of the riber,
according to the intimate weekly lot
ter issued by DR.. Samuel G. Dixon,
commissioner Of health.
The commissioner insinuates that
Rome might have lasted longer II she
had been able to develop Carnegie
and John D. Rockefeller. The Car
negie would have built steel mills, the
mills would have constructed drilling
machinery; the Rockefeller would
have taken the drills and bored for
oil; the Romans would have encour-
aged John d., using the oil to kill mos
quitoes. II the mosquitoes had been
killed. Rome might have been saved.
This is the way Doctor Dixon tells the
story:
Malaria Ia said to have FASTENED the
downfall of Rome. The mosquitoes

city than their barbarian enemies

AT least two diseases are carried by
certain species OF mosquitoes, malaria
and yellow fever. All species are dis

Communities that suffer from these
pests should cooperate to campaign
effectively against them. Even the

ed up or ditched and drained. II
these are too large to he filled, they
should be treated with petroleum.

North Howell, Ore, July 21.--It was
a very happy and enthusiastic crowd
that met at Ellis Stevens, eldest son
of Isaac Stevens, for the purpose of
celebrating the 25th annual reunion of
the Stevens family. At an early hour
the members began to arrive from The
Dalles, Portland, Albany, Salem, Wood

bers, Mrs. Sarah McCubbins and Mrs
Matte Cahill, of Dayton, Wash. were
also present at this meeting. Forty
eight members of the family and
eight visitors signed the register, among
the invited friends was Mrs. Martha
Baughman, an old playmate of the
now surviving and eldest members of
the family over so years ago.
The fore noon was spent in welcOm-
ing the guests and getting acquainted.
At the noon hour a table was spread
with almost every conceivable form of
good "eats," after which story telling,
recitatiOns and speech making occupied
the balance OF the day. One interest
ing event was the exhibition of an old
fashioned broom made by Isaac Stew
ems with a pocket knife and an illus
tration of how they used it by Rebecca
Mount, of SilvertOn.
Of the original descendants of Hanson
and Lavina Stevens who crossed the

being very young children, two boys
and six girls, all are alive and were
present at the meeting, the descendants
at this time numbering close to 300 and
are to be found in all the avocations
of life. Isaac Stevens, the eldest boy,
has owned for nearly so years the orig
inal d. L. c. upon which the family set
tied soon after arriving in Oregon in

ALKAII MAKES SOAP
BAD FOR WASHING HAIR
X 4 X = x x x * x x X X x

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
INJURIOUS, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing TO use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap,
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teasuoonful is all
that is required 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt
and dandruff.
