TAINTED MI v

| An ambi tious young man with splen-
nherited from long line Of physically
fit ancestors, married the daughter of
the richest man in town, This girl
was of low mental type. Indeed,
she was so stupid that, had it not been
for her fathers money, she would
never have been looked at twice by so
brilliant beau.
Her father was square type of man
who realized that his son in-aw's life
would not be an easy one at best, and
so he presented the newly welded couple
with handsome cash wedding present
| This the young man put to work in bus
mess, and, by the means of so good
start as it furnished, he soon be came
an independent and wealth. man in his
own right.
In the meantime, two children,
boy and girl had been born and the
| father became absorbed in them. His
wife was 80 dull witted that she had
never been much of companion and
he was looking forward to the possibil-
ity of making chums of his children.
But, as they grew older, the fact could
not be ignored that they had inherited
their mothers sluggish type of mind.
The father sought the counsel of
physicians and educators and put the
children in the best of schools and
spared no expense TO overcome the
blur inherited from their feebleminded
mother. The results that however
powerful money may be in some direc-
tions, it eau succeed to only very
limited extent in sharpening dull wits.
Future happiness, genuine success in
life and the very welfare of the nation
REQUIRE that there shall be as few
marriages as possible of this charac-
ter. Scientists have studied the per-
sstent tendency of feeblemindedness
to perpetuate itself through heredi-
tary transmission from parents to off
spring. Their findings are most &C.
pressing.
Extreme cases of feeblemindednes
can and should be cared for in in
situations and prevented from per-
petuating their kind. The borderline
types are more difficult to control. One
of the things that will help, however,
is for the public to realize and dis
courage by every possible means, the
marriage of unfit. Boys and girls
should be Influenced to appreciate the
fact that sound ply steal bodies and
minds constitute far more valuable
possession than money and the grim
cracks IL viii purchase.

where flies are In the dining room
spray it lavishly even on the table lin
en-. The odor is very disagreeaple to
dies but refreshing to most people.
Geranium, mignonette, heliotIope
and white clover are offensive to flies.
They especially dislike the oder of
noneysuckle and hop blossoms.
According to a French scientist flies
have intense hatred for the color blue.
Rooms decorated in blue Will h-lp to
keep out flies.
Mix together one tablespoonful of
cream, one of ground black pepper and
one of brown sugar. This mixture is
poisonous to flies. Put in saucer,
darken the room except one window
and in that set the saucer.
To clear the house of flies, burn
pyrethrum powder This stupefies
the flies, but they must be SWEPT UP
and BURNED.
Borax is especially valuable around
farms and out of doors. One poand of
borax to twelve bushels or manure
will be found desirable as poison

PROFIT IN GOOD HOUSING.
Coal Companies of Pennsylvania Build
Modern Dwellings and Rent
Them to Miners.

At first glance there might not seem
to be close connection between good
housing and coal mining, but the fact
remains that able business men who
are handling the anthracite industry
have discovered that there is a con-
nection and that it pays them, as pro-
ducers of anthracite, to see that their
employees are sheltered in modern
dwellings. So strongly convinced are
they of this fact that the hard coal
region now contains some of the best
examples of good housing in the coun-
try in the shape of villages planned
and erected by the coal companies
themselves and rented to mine EN-,
ployees.
Any big hard coal company will do
to illustrate the improvement in
housing Reading or Susque
hanna. The upper coal fields naturally
take pride in the progress made by
their biggest producer, the Lackawan
ma, and that company's achievements
are in the fullest sense typical OF what
has been done.
For example, the Lackawanna has
built what is known as Concrete
City," The houses are virtually all
concrete, save for doors and windows
An empty house can be flushed from
ceiling to cellar with a hose without
damage. There, is plerty of light and
air, and particular attention has been
paid to bathing facilities, which are sc
important in the lives of coal miners
Concrete City has been made dis
tinctive community, with regular com
munity centers like Fairgrounds, and
the miners children have a pleasure
resort with wading pools and other ap
purtenances belonging to well-managed
Fairgrounds.
