The annual argument between the

the state OF Idaho again hobs up
Ever since the invention OF the me-
chanical hay stacker its transporta-

has been the source OF much con

DISASTROUS results III the matter of

The wire-owning corporations have
relied In the past upon the Idaho
laws which permit them to recover
heavy damages and have based their
objections to the ranchers' arbitrary
action in hauling stackers through
the lines on the grounds that many
innocent users OF telephone service,

Mosquito Can Be Destroyed
Only BY Eliminating Its

Of George A. Dean. Professor of en-
tomology In the Kansas State Agricul
tural college.
BY doing away with breeding
places. such as tin cans. broken crock
cry, and various receptacles that hold
water, by the drainage Of bodies Of
water, likely to contain immature
mosquitoes, by application Of oil to
bodies Of water that cannot be
drained, or the Introduction of fish in
pools that cannot either be drained
or oiled, millions OF mosquitoes may
be destroyed, according to Professor
Dean.
Water is necessary for the life Of
the mosquito. The eggs which are
laid on the surface of the water by
the adult mosquito, hatch in from "a
hours to several days, depending on
the temperature. The larvae issue
from the lower end of the egg and
wriggle about in the water.

malaria fever mosquito lie parallel

tory tubes on the thorax. These pu-
pae float In the water and transform

No practical methods have been de

An Ounce Of
Prevention
BY Dr. Samuel C. DIXON
Commissioner Of Health Of Pennsylvania

Before the causes OF disease were
known or the practical application OF
natures ways OF producing immunity
to disease, we had to suffer an attack
Of sickness and then trust to drugs
and nursing for cure.
This was difficult task and the
death rate was sometimes enormous.
both In times Of peace as well his or
war
Then the day of prevention came.
Gradually the laws OF nature unfolded
until today we know methods OF pre-
venting diseases and antidoting the
poisons generated by germs In the
body.
1t was even as late as the Spanish
American war that we lost more sol
ders from preventable diseases than
we did from bullets. This WAS dis
graceful thing, as sanitarians could
have prevented the high death rate.
From what we can learn through the
newspapers and other sources, France
today IS short of disinfectants In her
trenches We do not see any great
or any concerted action of our good
citizens TO give their mites to pur-
chase and transport disinfectants for
the French trenches SO as to prevent
disease.
Therapeutics or drug treatment
seems to continue 10 have hold on
the lay mind, and possibly, TO some
extent, on the medical mind.
Both the people at home In every
day life and the soldiers in our army
are much 10 blame for the sickness
that exists. The medical professions
advice is not taken when these per-
sons are we'll. but the moment they
get good and sick they call "Oh, doc
tor, do relieve me from this awful
pain" OF oh doctor, save my life"
Perhaps this call comes too late.
few words of prevention from the doc
tor to the patient. and those few words
obeyed, might have prevented the sick
ness and saved suffering and sorrow.
Do not let us lose sight, individually
or collectively. of preventing diseases
both at home and in our military
camps let them be where they may.

When Might Made Right.

Clergyman while passing through
one of the by-streets of Edinburgh
came upon a rough-looking and gigan-
tic coal man, who was "persuading'
his horse to move along more eXpedi-
tiously. The horse had taken a stub
born fit, and the coal man was very
excited. and COUGHING his sentiments
in language which was simply appall-
ing. says London Tit-Bits.
The clergyman was little man, but
rash, for he rebuked the coal man In
manner that left absolutely nothing to
be desired.

winding up his expostulation, what
you mean by using such narrowing ex-
pressions."
This rebuke was lost upon the coal
man.
"My wee man." he replied, at the
same time patting the clergyman on
the shoulder with very dirty hand
"neither could understand it-when
was your size"
Needless to say, there was no re-
