sWATTERs FOR SLIPPERS.

A Gentleman who killed thrtyseven flies in March, Pullman car, route from Jacksonville, Fla. to Chi cago writes to pr W. A. Evans former health officer of Chicago and writer health subjects for several newspapers asking that he through his column that Pullman sleepers each be equipped with fly swat ters. The wreck Dr. Evans, is needed only al long intervals fly is needed every trip. The fly-swatter rack should be alongside the ax-rack.
 That trains transport flies frequently and fer long dis is known many people It is also that of the greatest difficulties in the Canal Zone has been with the mosquitoes brought in by trains Cattle trains them and dinngcars. Almost every train coming into northern station from climate brings in it's fly passengers well its human of these undoubtedly die of cold before they do much damage But there always few that find hide in waiting opportunity to increase the fly population If every passenger who fly his train would kill him. of this trouble would be avoid ed.
 And, needless to add if everyone who fly any where in April would kill him much of the countrys disease would disappear.

 In these two years, seven have bought their homes Some made down payments as high $500 out of their savings Some of them paying high high s6O per month the principal These been the nucleus from which the movement is spreading rapidly among the employees of the company One man, preaching his gospel to his friends said that while he renting he didn't going home evenings but that he lived his own home he couldn't there quick enough He constant interest in making little improvements about his proper tv but his chief huryng home simply that he likes the feeling of being property :s forty y-foot lot of all he surveys

DO YOU IRREGULAR SHOPPING EARLY.

That shopping late in the day adds materially to the merchants selling cost and consequently to the price of goods and the cost of living is realized by few women
 Few retail stores do enough keep their em ployes busy before eleven o'clock in the morning Al though they keep open eight nine hours, practically the whole days work done in five This means that larger force sales people must be kept on the payrool than if the selling more evenly distributed through the day. The force must be constantly large enough to handle peakload" of the days shopping The girls be duty all day, and it is much more wearing them in the long to have periods of idle ness followed by hours of nerverackng haste and com pexy than it would be have a moderate amount of work coming along evenly through the hours working hours. -t-.
 The average woman who has home duties attend to feels that she cannot get started before her morning work done and perhaps of the evening work also The times when she has left things undone to shop early returned tired confronted by unmade beds and clutter which peculiarly distressing conplate after a day spent in the shops.
 It is perhaps largely matter of system and foret though. Cooperation might help. neighbor might range do couple of hours housework for the woman who wanted to shop early in return for similar service another day There is particular why food ice and such things might be provided for day in advance, just they for Sunday
 The real trouble is of that do not real ze the facts of the shopping situation When they do they will apply their minds making that tiresome work easier and less expensive themselves all cerned.

Germany by ruthless destruction of neutral ship ping seems in danger of losing every friend she had among the neighbors naturally bound to her by ties of race trade and general Holland is just now conspicuous example being driven almost to the edge Of war by the sinking of her merchantmen. Even Sweden, thus far more loyal Germany than any other neu- tra is is showing signs of alieniation.
 Sncethe began Holland has had 2S ships sunk in the North Sea by torpedoes, mines warships Den mark has lost the number. Sweden has lost 50 ships and Norway 97 is said that these vessels with out exception were unarmed, and the destruction Of nearly every of them plainly contrary to inerna tionaI law The losses from mines held against Ger many no due torpedoes. for the sowing of the open sea with mines nitself fragrant breach of law.
 These attacks neutral shipping far harder to understand than the torpedong of enemy merchantmen which nearly all difficulties with Germany have arisen. It is incredible that Germany should, by SC harsh a policy, alenate her neighbors and her best friends almost seems if there may be truth in explanation bizarre sounds that Germany, real izing that she the war, is trying the whole against her. that she give up the gle with better grace.

In connection with the sale
j. F. Weisemiller, who is a rep
