NATIONAL INSURANCE BUSINESS

That Uncle Sam is a successful business
man, is proved by the second annual re-
port of his war risk insurance agency,
which, like the first, shows substantial
profit. The surplus accumulated to date,
after paying all losses, amounts to one and
a third millions
Created shortly after the outbreak of the
war, when private agencies either refused
to underwrite merchant ships, or charged
exorbitant rates, the bureau, during its two
years of existence, has written ,684 poll
cies covering $163, 595, 687; losses have
amounted to only $3.50, 1924, or less than
three-quarters of one per cent.
At present something like S140O0000
are at risk-losses will probably aggregate
100000.
Doubtless some private company is suf-
fering bitter heart burnings that it did not
stay in the game and win the rich stake,
for the $2,367, 657 of surplus premiums is
practically all profit.
In other ways, too, Uncle Sam is going
into business. The armor plate plant, for
instance; the nitrate plant, for instance
battleship building, for instance
Competition is one of the best clubs the
government could hold over the heads of
predatory interests.

FREE SCHOOL BOOKS.

If free schools, why not free school
books?
The idea is gaining ground elsewhere,
and the Florida Educational Association
has endorsed it and is preparing to memoir
ialize the legislature to that end.
A law similar to the one passed by Geor-
gia is being urged In Georgia, each
county is given the option of four ways of
handling the school book question: IL
The board may sell the books direct to the
children; ~ or contract with merchant.
under regulation as to price; 90 or it may
rent the books to the children; (4) or it
may furnish them free.
In the first two cases, the children get
the books at actual cost, or slightly over;
the rental plan has been found to work,
while the counties able to afford t,have
adopted the free plan.
Opponents of the movement are the
school book publishers; sufficient recon-
mendation in itself
Book buying, as is we'll known, entails
heavy burden on large percentage OF
the people; instances are not wanting, in
deed, where the cost has actually stood ir
the way of chi1drens education. The ques
ton of free books deserves the earnest
thought of Floridians

TOPIC OF SERMON

Rev. j. A. Ansley, pastor of the
First Baptist church, who is person
ally conducting a series of meetings
at that church, announced at the
close of his sermon last night that
the topic of the sermon tonight viii
be "The Devil" and he looks for a
large congregation out at the even
ing hour to hear this subject dis
cussed. He is especially DESTROYS of
having all members of the church CO.
operate in the series of meetings,
which are growing in interest daily.
Last nights subject was weighed
In the Balances and Found Wanting"
which resolved itself principally into
an able discussion of the Ten Com
mandments. The crowd of hearers at
last nights service was small, but
those who were present heard an ex-
cellent sermon. The subject of the
morning sermon, also an able one
was Caesars Saints"

SHOWING THE TRUSTS THEIR
PLACE.

A few days ago the government asked
for bids on a certain kind shell. Mr..
Schwab, of the Bethlehem Steel Works,
had just made speech full of noble senti-
ment, IN which he said that his company
was actuated more by feelings of patriotism
than by thoughts of dividend in undertak-
ing government work No one doubted for
a moment that Bethlehem would receive
the contract, but when the bids were open
ed it was seen that an English firm had
quoted price over 5000 below the Bethle-
hem figure, and guaranteed delivery in half
the time. Since then, Bethlehem has been
diligently explaining to the American peo-
pie how it happened, and barring its cruel
wrongs to public inspection.
Secretary Daniels has in the meantime
proposed to equip government plants that
the United States may be independent of
the arnor. and ordnance trusts Then
saws he, eff the private makers are reason
able and will content themselves with a
reasonable profit will run the government
plants on one-third time. If private makers
put up their prices, | viii run our plants on
two-thirds time If they are hoggish, will
run our plants full time. This will leave a
field for reasonable private enterprise and
at the same time the government will not
be at the mercy as it now is, of private con-
Germs
Nothing could be fairer. If the govern
ment is able to make armor or munitions
at a certain price, the plant that boasts a
greater capacity than the Krupp's should be
able to make them just as cheaply. Ifthey do
not, Uncle Sam will make them himself

of sickness cared for at home make
it necessary for the housekeeper to
safeguard members of her family, as
well as others, by knowledge of
bacteriology ard strenuous care to
prevent infection.
Boiling for 20 minutes will gener-
ally, but not always, kill most forms
of bacteris, including the spores.
Water is pronounced safe when it is
thus boiled. Mere simmering of
water is not sufficient.
Direct sunshine kills most bacteria.
Many persons are afraid to take
fresh air and sunshine in sufficient
quantities to counterfeit the bad in
fluence of dark rooms, moisture, and
poor air; yet of all the bactericades
known there is none that compares
in effectiveness with sunshine. Much
suffering would be saved if persons
could only be brought to realization
of that fact.
About 80 per cent moisture is re-
quired for the growth of bacteria. In
order to preserve seeds we dry them
and they do not begin to sprout until
they are moistened when needed for
planting. 1t must be remembered
that drying only arrests the growth
of bacteria and that when food has
over 80 per cent of moisture there is
danger of its spelling.
Antiseptics are materials that re-
tard or prevent the growth of bac-
terra. A heavy sugar solution pre-
vents the growth of bacteria. Salt is
very commonly used in the household
to prevent bacterial growth. Acids
protect food from bacteria and give
a new flavor. Spices are antiseptics
and are added to foods in order to
prevent putrefaction.

will be by Prof. Mary E. Sweeney,

When bacteria grow in food the

HARBOR FACILITIES.

Because of the terrible drawback of river
approach, New Orleans has revived the
Quinn proposition of 1894, to excavate a
ship canal from the Gulf to the west bank
OF the Mississippi opposite that city Forty
miles OF still water would thus substitute
hundred and ten miles of tortuous channel
and swift current.
Declaring that the practicabilitv of the
canal is not open to question, The Lumber
Trade Journal, of New Orleans, says that,
the mere interest on the value of vessels and
cargoes for the extra time consumed in 90
ing up the river, plus the cost of the ietty
work would provide fund in three or four
years adequate to construct the ship canal.
and once constructed the cost of upkeep
would be nominal
Engineers, fresh from the Panama CON
quest, would think it child's play to drive
canal through the soft ground of lower
Louisiana, only eight feet above sea level.
The proposition indeed offers hardly more
problems than the jetties do now, certainly
not as many as the jetties did when Col.
Eads first drew up his specifications. But
no matter what the difficulties, New Or
leans feels not unnaturally that this short
cut to prosperity has an intimate bearing
on her future. AS the Lumber Trade Jour-
nal says:

STAR PLAYERS SUSPENDED
Hcrzog of Giants and Baker of Yam keeS Feel Wrath of Club Owners for Alleged Insubordination.

New York, Sept 1S.-Back in 1906 Charles Lincoln Herzog and John Franklin Baker were stars on the Ridgely, Md, semi-professional club, but New York knew no more about them than it did about Ridgely, and cared less.
 Yesterday local fans as well as ball fans throughout the country were rather shocked at two announcements coming from the local baseball clubs. President Harry Hampstead of the New York Giants announced the in definite suspension of his team cap tain and star second baseman. Char ley Herzog. for leaving the team with out permission, and a few hours later President Jacob Ruppert of the New York Yankees announced the indef1- nite suspension of Frank Baker, his third baseman, leading hitter and best drawing card.
 Strangely enough both players are suspended for the same reason, namely, leaving their teams to visit their Maryland farms without per mission, though the conditions are rather different.
 Herzog, after leaving the team af- ter the double header with Philadel- phia on September was ordered by President Hampstead to report to the club in the series recently played in Boston, but declined. Later he was asked to make the present Western trip, but was told he need not play, but again refused, and Hampstead said he had no other alternative than to suspend the player. Baker, on tho other hand. was suspended for fail- ure to play in an exhibition game with the Yankees in Bridgeport last Sunday.
