The essential in the art Of Aoiss

own taste-to express yc2r own M.
ture. Your taste may not At all coin
eide with that Of your ne!Shbor, but
that is not important. There r as
many Individual expressions Of the ert
shas Is within one as there are leaves
on a tree, and there is no good reasoa
why the expression OF the individual
should not continue in the home itself.
For peoples characters do show liz
their homes-in the architecture 0s the

pictures and the way they r hung.

The American people have COM to

Stable Flies

The peskv stable flies are a great
source Of annoyance to the cows and
the cause of considerable loss of milk
and vitality. They are seldom killed
by the lash Of the cows switch and
when disturbed they rise In q mass for
two or three feet and then settle down
on another part Of the cows body. AS
they are not attracted by bait 1t Is not
easy to catch or Kill them.

phoid-fly-spread typhoid.
There is no glory in giving your
health or your life as a sacrifice to ig.
norance and carelessness.
The fly is as busy in peace as in
war. He doesn't stop to send an ulti-
matum.
There are 10000 cases of typhoid
in the United States in a year-and
the fly is largely responsible for this
terrible consequence.
Every year 10000 infants under two
years die In the United States from
diarrhea and enteritls-and again the
fly is responsible to a considerable ex.
tent for this fearful result.
The United States public health
service has made exhaustive ~investiga-
ton Into the life habits Of the fly.
The investigation shows that he more
than deserves his bad reputation.

100000 SELECTIVES
REACH CANT0NMENTS
Forty-Five Per Cent of First Call Be-
gin Training to Fight Autocracy-
Supplies Are Short.

Washington.-Ma -Marshalled for the
last time as civilians and under civil
ian authority, more than 100000 men
Of the national army have gone for
ward to the sixteen cantonments to
be trained for the battle against Ger
man autocracy. Their next move will
be as fighting men toward the battle
fields Of France.
The whole nation was astir with the
movement Of the selective forces. The
men represent approximately As per
cent of the total quota under the first
call from each of nearly 5000 local
boards. At the camps when the Sc
lectives arrived was the advance guard
Of five per cent of the total, composed
OF experienced men, including cooks.
They reached the cantonments early
in August. Out of this has been Gre
'ated a skeleton organization into
which the second increment was alb
sorbed with little confusion. With the
arrival of this increment the camps
are housing half of the first call forces
or 343,500 men and the other half will
follow as rapidly as quarters and
equipment are made available
In statement, the War Department
says the enormous task of obtaining
equipment and supplies for the army
is moving satisfactorily. Some of the
men Of the national army may be only
partially equipped for some time, and
no attempt will be made to furnish
them with full war equipment until
the eve of their departure for Europe.
Some civilian clothing, such as over
coats, will have to be used for a time,
as the clothing industry has not yet
caught up with it's work.
With the mobilization Of the $4,000
of the first call under the selective
service law in progress, the question
arises as to whether that number of
men will be sufficient to fill all units of
the national guard and national army
There are indications that deficiency
in men will be disclosed when official
reports from all the thirty-two train
ing camps are available.

KAISER FAVORS POPE'S PLAN
German Ruler Says He Has Followed
Pontiff's Efforts For Long Period
with High Respect"

msterdam.-COpies of the replies
of Germany and Austria to the Popes
appeal for peace have been received
here. Emperor William the German
note says, "cherishes a lively desire
that for the benefit of the entire world
the appeal may meet with success"
The Emperor, the reply admits, has
been following the efforts Of the Pom
tiif toward peace for considerable
time, with high respect" The reply
stated that the efforts of the Pope to
pave the way to an understanding
might most surely be reckoned to have
sympathetic reception from and the
whoIe-hearted support of the German
Emperor since he has regarded it as
his principal and most sacred task to
preserve the blessings of peace for the
German people and the world.

PRESIDENT AROUSED
At STRIKE MENACE
TO NAME MISSION TO GO WEST
EXECUTIVE WOULD KEEP CON.
TRACTS ON JUST BASIS.
Asks Members to Seek Causes Of Dis
content BY Getting in Touch
With Employers and Men.

ngton.-Aroused by the seri-
BUSINESS of the shipyards' strikes on
the Pacific Coast and other labor trou-
bles which have retarded Government
war work, President Wilson named a
commission, the members of which will
act as his personal representatives, to
visit all localities where there have
been strikes or friction, and attempt to
adjust the difficulties. In announcing
his plan, the President asserted that
he is anxious that both employers and
employees should have Square deal"
and should be made to realize that it
is their patriotic duty to keep the
wheels of industry whirling for the pc
riod of war, regardless of other consid-
eratiOns. The official statement, which
is in the form of memorandum for
the Secretary Of Labor, reads as fol-
lows:
Il am very much interested in the
labor situation in the mountain region
and on the Pacific Coast. l have lis
tened with attention and concern to
the numerous charges of misconduct
and injustice that representatives both
of employers and of employees have
made against each other. l am not
much concerned, however, with the
manner in which they have treated
each other in the past as am desirous
of seeing some kind of working ar
rangement arrived at for the future,
particularly during the period Of the
war, on basis that will be fair to all
parties concerned.
ITO assist in the accomplishment Of
that purpose, have decided to appoint
a commission to visit the localities
where disagreements have been most
frequent as my personal representa-
tives. The commission will consist of
William B. Wilson, Secretary of La
Dor; Colonel J. L. Spangler, of Penn
sylvania; Werner z. Reed, of Colorado;
John H. Walker, of Illinois, and E. P.
Marsh, of Washington. Felix Frank
furter, of New York, will act as Sec
retary OF the Commission.
