The Sepsis of Hidden Things
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

A family is judged by its back yard.
No matter how smooth your front lawn
how graceful your flower beds, and how
well raked your gravel walks. If the back
yard - full of old cans and Uttered paper,
and general disorder and ugliness, you are
not really nice" people.
What shall it credit you if you polish
up the handle of the big front door"
beautify the front porch, and have hard
wood floors and $500 rugs in the parlor,
and don't lookVafter the garbage can?
1t is better to have spotlesS kitchen
and a clean sink than have a grand piano
and lace curtains.
An immaculate bedroom Is more TO be
desired than a lovely boudoir.
It's the provision for waste, refuse,
and offal that tests.
The salvation of the office is the waste
basket
The salvation of the home is the scrub
bing brush, the vacuum cleaner, and the
broom.
The salvation of the body is efficient
elimination.
The salvation of the soul is also to
have a washable memory, and to keep
dirt out of the corners Of the magma
ton.
The world inStinctively conceals its
acts and agencies of eXcretion.
Yet cleaning out is more vital than
dressing up.
Thorough bathing and clean under
clothes mean more than diamond neck
lace or a polished shirt front
Also il is more important TO be good
forgotten, to expel septic thoughts from
the mind, than it is TO amass knowledge.
In the house where death turks there
is the smell of cologne; in the hospital
where life is saved and death fought
there is the odor of carboic acid.
Cleanliness is another name for order.
which is heavens first law
The secret of health is the discard.
Disease is at hand for the clogged. The
key to wholesomeness is unclogGed pores,
unclogged intestines. unclogged lungs.
uncloRged memory, unclogged intelh-
gence unclogRed affections.
Washing was a part of primitive re-
bgions. The instinct of the race pointed
true. Being holy is akin to keeping
clean.
The physician is one who physics. So
the true priest is one who cleanses the
unclean soul of that perilous stuff that
Weighs upon the mind.
Because the cleansing processes of life
are secret. private, and not to be men
toned or witnessed. they are all the more
,acredly essential.
The baclli Of nature and the wrath Of
cod wait for the uncean.
The devils other name is dirt.

President Wilson Has
Performed For the People
His Biggest Service.

The chances are bright at this writing
for settlement of the differences be-
tween the railroad workers who had
called a general strike for Labor Day. and
their employers.
Congress, quite apparently, is going to
pass the laws suggested by President
Wilson with the single exception of the
one making arbitration compulsory. Such
law would not stand the test of consti-
tutionality.
A compulsory eight-hour law will be
passed and that law in itself will be suffi-
cient to satisfy the railroad workers and
keep the wheels of freight cars moving
The workings of this law will be
watched by a commission to be appointed
by the president, which commission will
report to congress later on, so that con-
eress can be judge of whether it is to
work hardship to the railroads.
This plan of settlement seems fair to
both sides, and fair, also to the public,
which Is pretty well agreed that eight
hours should constitute days work
What has complicated the situation
somewhat and made it difficult to under
stand the exact demands of the men and
the position of the employers, is the fact
that trainmen do not work by the hour,
1t all.
They work by the mile, 10 of which
constitute railroad hour, and are not
paid overtime until they have worked
100 miles or 10 hours.
They ask to be put on fiat eight-hour
basis, no matter how many miles are
covered, or how many hours days run
falls short of the eight.
Herein lies the unreasonableness of
the demands made by the workers, &C
cording to the railroad heads.
The beauty of President Wilson's plan
Of settlement is, that if an eight-hour
day for railroad workers should prove
unreasonable, neither the railroads nor
the public will be called upon TO suffer
for II after the commission has so re-
ported, as result of its investigation.
President Wilson's program arranges,
as a matter of fact, for arbitration, be-
cause arbitration is nothing more than
investigation.
The men will get their claims in this
case, however, pending arbitration.
When congress has acted upon Presi- |
dent Wilson's plan and made it law, he
will or should be stronger than ever with
the people of the country.
He viii or should be stronger than ever
with capital, for at every turn his activi-
ties and his interests have been prompted
by an apparent spirit of fairness and a
desire to do the greatest good to the
greatest number

S. W. HIATT BEGINS
WORK IN JACKSON

Of interest in Escambia county,
where Mr.. Hiatt has been farm DEM
onstration agent for three years, is
the following mention of him in the
Mariana Times-Courier:
S. w. Hiatt, Jackson county's new
farm demonstration agent, arrived in
the city the first of the week, and
is getting acquainted with our people.
He will begin upon this work at once
and asks for the hearty cooperation
of our farmers and business men. This
cooperation is absolutely necessary
if the work is the success it should
be- Mr.. Hiatt has had much expert
ence in demonstration work and our
county is very fortunate in securing
his services. His last work was done
in Escambia county, where he spent
nearly three years, and would in all
probability have remained there an
other year but for the fact that the
Escambia commissioners failed te
make an appropriation for the work
in that county for another year.

THE CENSUS ENUMERAToRs.

No one has yet given a logical explana-
ton why people, who have no hesitation in
giving the information to the Federal Off
GERS, are so reticent to state officers seek
ing data in compiling manufacturing and
agricultural statistics.
Because of this attitude, the state census
is usually not as correct as the national.
That is to say, the people themselves are
defeating the object of the enumeration,
and wasting their own money.
If taking. stock is necessary in private
business, it is also of great Importance in
an intelligent development of a states or a
regions resources. With both state and
d national census, the data is brought down
to date, and the value of he census is
doubled.
Census enumerators are required to keep
al information confidential and in their in
vestigations. they are not concerned with
personal or trade secrets, but only with
aggregates. This information, the people
owe it to themselves to supply.

the rich China trade which has been built

by the government which has maintained
economic and business experts there to

The problems of diplomacy are so diff

can reasonably expect is the unexpected.
What we may be sure of, however, is that
Japan will observe the Hay doctrine and
the Root-T akahira agreement to. respect
the sovereignty of China and maintain the
open door, policy so long as it suits her
convenience. When Japan feels strong
enough to tear up any scraps of paper, she
will do So The pretext may be the dis
elimination against Japanese, a problem
easy of revival by a resentful and ambitious
people.

dicted, and continue the preparedness SO
