AMERICAN HABIT A BAD ONE
That as a Nation We Are Addicted to
Concentrated Pleasure Is Un-
doubtedIy True.

Pleasure is limited by the time to
enjoy It; in enjoyment, time is more
than money.
It is forgetfulness Of this fact which
makes much OF our American spending
banal and sterile. With much money
to spend and few hours in which to
spend 1t, we become addicted to quick,
concentrated, expensive pleasure. We
cannot initiate the placid, fruitful
economy of the Teuton. who takes his
beer and music inexpensiveiy and at
his leisure. Nor are we like that alb
stemious German professor who, on
his vacation, travelled on the slowest
Bummelzug because that way the joy
Gus trip lasted longer. The meteoric
flights of our tourists through Europe
are in point; the automobile, also, IL
illustrates the nervousness and swift
ness Of our pleasures. Motoring IL
broadening and delightful, but we are
rushing into this amusement with more
than our usual national abandon, and
hardly even find time to speed. Wher
q pleasure becomes the vogue, con
veniences and even necessities are sac
rificed to 1t. We APP like those trav
elers of old who sold their lands Il
see other men's.-Walter e. Weyl, ir

CoUer Manure Box
and Garbage Car,

A proper system of manure disposal
is more important than all other meas
ures combined as q method of con-
trolling the fly nuisance. A proper
method Of gaybage collection and dis
posal is next In importance. The gar
bage should be drained. wrapped In
paper and collected in fly-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--flth.
Some Of US are inclined to grumble
that campaigning against f1ies is
mighty troublesome. Well, the grum-
blers will find It less troublesome to
campaign effectually against flies than
to nurse member Of the family
through spell of typhoid fever-and
much less expensive.

In the days when New Mexico was
. hinterland an Indian showed some
specimens of rock he had found on
Badly Peak to white men, who recog-
nized them as copper ore, and who,
guided by the Indian, found the ledge
and located prospect. The men do
ing development work on this copper
prospect in 1866 found placer gold and
traced it to its parent ledge. The
placers yielded $2.250,0 and the gold
mine about $1.15O,0 900, but the rich ORC
was exhausted in few years. and for
over forty years desultory prospecting
for other ore bodies was carried on
without notable results. In recent
years prospecting based on the
geologic relations of the old ore body
resulted in the discovery OF new
body Of rich ore, which has yielded
nearly $250,000 in ten months and is
still producing.

RECORD OF LONG SPEECHES
Unlimited Debate In Congress Has
Given Opportunity for States
men Gifted With Words.

Under the rule OF unlimited debate
In the senate Of the United States,
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 quo
rum. The longest record of speaking
uninterruptedly In the senate was
made by Senator Reed Smoot of Utah,
who. without interruption, spoke IL
hours and % minutes on the night of
January 27-2S. 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 1870, 1908,
against the Aldrich-V reeland currency

New Badge.

A new badge of mourning has been
adopted at New York. 1t was first
seen on the arm OF colored gentle
man, evidently wealthy janitor or
Pullman porter. Since. then It has
been noticed on the arms of several
women. 1t is not the conventional
badge-a black band around the
sleeve. This is q great big, black
heart. which is sewed to the upper
part of the left sleeve. Those who
have observed 1t declare that the black
heart is intended to serve two pur-
poses. One, that the wearers mourn
her or his loss. and two, that they are
lonely and would welcome q helpmeet.

"A metropolis grows up In two ways.
At first It expands legitimately, adding
furlong to furlong in growth. Then It
leaps forward and seizes large area
overnight by act of legislature or par
lament. sweeping into It's net O score
OF villages and settlements. Then Il
proceeds to consolidate its position. as
General Joffre might say, by filling up
the intervening spaces. In European
cities they have an inner ring, which
Is the old city, and an outer ring,
which may be anything. New York,
Chicago. Boston and Seattle have
their inner rings which are the legiti-
mate city, and the outer ring which
came by the get-big-quick method.
New York succumbed to the promot-
er's fever in 1898. In that year the city
absorbed large areas Of virgin soil and
a chain Of independent villages. some
Of them nearly as old as Manhattan IT,
self. From the sound to the Atlantic
they stretch across the backbone OF
Long island and the lower harbor of
Staten island, where the local tradi-
ton, In spite of municipal ferries and
promised tunnels. has remained at its
strongest.
Such frenzied expansion is the rea-
son why the traveller in the nearer
suburbs Of q great city will often
come across city line which is no
longer the city line. As you near the
old city line from the heart Of popu-
lation the solid blocks Of apartments
and flats thin out. There follow
stretches of waste land, market gar
dens, cemeteries. It is across this zone
between the old and new city lines
that the transit railways throw their
surface lines and elevated "exten'
sions," and close behind them are the
builders, criss-crossing the raw acres
with their long lines Of frame" and
brick.-Harper's Magazine.

HOUsEFLY nests IN
FILTh-.hEIP TO
Kill HIM

The housefiy 10 q foul and dangerous
nstle pest. The female lays her eggs
IA manure. in human excrement or in
the flesh of dead and rotting animals,
nsver anywhere else. The eggs hatch
into maggots and the maggots feed ON
the filth 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
housefiy is our deadly enemy and we
ought to kill him of 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
fiy's greatest enemy, but If one man
cleans up his place-removing all
barnyard 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 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.
NJ no orlfo< the o;d ~ Tho baoHh ~
ficers, 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 II 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 mill
lions of flies.
The state board of health will be
glad to send us all kinds of informa-
ton helpful in carrying on 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 hands Of our people.
Who will make the first move to
start the campaign?

WISE HOSTESS

anything to them about 1t, made o.

was. The mother asked for third
cup and inquired as to the brand Of
coffee ! used. / didn't answer her
question just then, for heard her say
while before that she didn't like Pos
tum unless it was more than half
coffee.
After breakfast told her that the
coffee she liked so we'll at breakfast

liked 1t was because It was properly
made. ~
