HOW TO GET RID OF FLIES.

Don't allow flies in your house.
Don't permit them near food--es-
pecially milk.
Don't buy foodstuffs where flies
are tolerated.
Don't eat where flies have access
to the food.
Flies are the f1lthiest of all vermin.
The are born in filth, live in filth and
carry filth around with them. They
are maggots before they are flies.
They are known to be carriers of
millions of death-dealing disease
germs. They leave some of these
germs wherever they alight.
Screen your windows and doors.
Do it early, before fly-time, and keep
screens until the fly crop is gone.
Screen all food, especially milk.
Screen the baby's bed, and keep
flies away from the baby's bottle.
Keep flies away from the sick, es-
pecially those i'll with typhoid fever,
scarlet fever, diphtheria mad tuber-
culosis. Screen the patients bed
Use liquid poisons, sticky fly paper
and fly traps.
Kill every fly that enters the sick
room.
Place either of these poisons in
shallow dishes throughout the house;
two teaspOonsful of fOrmaldehyde to
a pint of water, or one drachm of BIZ
crOmate of potash dissolved in two
ounces of water and sweetened with
plenty of sugar.
Sprinkle chloride of lime over con-
tents of privy vaults and garbage
boxes. Keep garbage receptacles
tightly covered and they should be
cleaned frequently. The ground
around garbage boxes and cans
should be kept clean. Sprinkle
chloride of lime over manure piles,
old paper, old straw and all refuse
Of similar nature. Manure should
be moved at least once a week

EVEN EXPERTS GUESS.

Even experts do some guessing in
estimating the true value of min
ing prospect. They follow certain
established rules, supposed to be err
rOr-proof, and make their calcula-
tions in accordance with the text
books; and sometimes they formulate
accurate conclusions, while at other
times they make mistkaes which
prove that mining is not as yet an
exact science. Often, an engineer
will compile a report on a property
that later is almost completely ver-
ified by developments; and the same
expert, reporting on another pros
pect where geological formations
and conditions are different, will
issue estimates and statements that,
as time goes by and the ground is ex-
plored, seem like the neurotic vapor-
ings of dipsomaniac And nature,
who knows how to conceal her ore
treasures when she so desires, sits
by and laughs at mans discontinue.
In Nevada, few months ago, GER
tain experts examined a mining
property most thoroughly, using
churn drills and bringing into play
their extensive knowledge of geology,
mineralOgy and various other
''ologies." The examining special
lists represented wealthy syndicate
that had $4,000 bond on the prop
erty. After churn drilling the en-
tire acreage, and finding no indica-
tions Of pay ore, the experts declared
the claims to be unworthy of develop
ment, and the syndicate forfeited
$4,000 that had been paid on the
$4,000 bond, rather than throw
good money after bad" and quit the
camp in disgust.
Not long afterward, three practical
miners whose experience had taught
them that metal Of all kinds is where
it is actually found, and not neces-
sarily where it ought to be, started
mining operations on the condemned
ground, and at last accounts had
shipped eight cars Of copper ore that
averaged $500 each; and plenty
more of the rich product, averaging
to 10 per cent copper, is in sight
In fact the erstwhile discredited pros
pect has been transformed into real
mine, of prolific possibilities.
Three miners are assured OF be-
coming independently wealthy; and
members of the syndicate that for
feited $4,000 and abandoned the
property, now watch proceedings
from afar with thoughts that are
querulous and profane.

Preparedness

These are stirring times in which
it is difficult to look very far into
the future. No one can tell what
emergencies may arise within the
next few months.
Certain it is, however, that the
man with money in the bank is we'll
prepared either to offset adversities
or to take advantage of opportunities
which may offer themselves.
Preparedness and thrift go hand

this dual policy leads to economy of

TREADWELL MINE FLOODED BY
THE SEA.

A most unusual disaster has ap-
parently put an end to the great
Alaska Treadwell mine on Douglas
Island, Alaska. 1t seems unlikely
that any engineering scheme can re-
cover it from the grasp of the sea,
which two or three weeks ago burst
through the narrow barrier Of rock
formerly protecting the mine and
flooded the historic workings. Re-
ports from Juneau indicate that the
loss is irrevocable, as one might in
deed suppose from bare statement
of the facts. The mine has become,
one might say, an arm of the sea,
and with the subsequent dashing of
the waters, the condition will only
become worse.
The Alaska-Treadwell has been
worked to great depth below the sea
level, and it would probably require
years, if such an attempt were with
in the pale of wisdom, to open work.
ing chambers below in such manner
as to avoid further inpouring of the
ocean. Only at an enormous cost,
if at all, could the property be made
to again yield a profit from the
extremely low grade of ore which
has hitherto been made to earn div
idends The Treadwell ores have
run between So and SO ton, and
only through policy of handling
immense tonnages, subject to treat
ment in a great amalgamation and
cyaniding mill, has the mine been
made to pay. Such immense ton
mage can probably never be handled
again by any means which capital
would be willing to risk.
This remarkable mine was opened
thirty-five years ago and has earned
many millions of dollars. The AL
aska Treadwell company, which was
recently consolidated with other
companies, paid to it's stockholders
more than $4,000. The mine lies
about two miles southeast of Juneau,
upon the edge of Gastineau channel,
the waters of which have now taken
possession of the workings. The
values occur in a huge dixie, $50 feet
in thickness, which cuts through the
altered slate country The dixie it.
self is filled with numerous small
seams in which the the gold occurs
with pyrite. Other properties upon
the same dixie are still working, and
will continue work. 1t is hard to
realize that the famous Treadwell is
thing of the past, the end has come
with such startling suddenness. 1t
has been a proverb of low mining
and milling costs for prospectus
writer's of the last twenty-five years.

Japan to Cause
OF Democracy
Claims Entrance to Holy
Circle" at Washington S
Tomb

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Viscount
Ishii, the special ambassador from
Japan, placing a wreath of roses and
crysanthemums on the tomb of George
Washington at Mount Vernon to-day,
claimed the right for Japan TO honor
Washington's memory. and reaifirmed
her devotion to the Allies cause and
the principles for which they wage
battle.
The members of the japanese mis-
sion, with Secretary and Mrs. Daniels
as hosts, sailed down the Potomac on
the Presidents yacht Mayfower. Ac-
companying them were Ambassador
Sato. Secretaries Lansing. Redfeld and
Baker, Postmaster General Burleson,
Speaker Clark, member of the Senate
and House. high officers of the army.
navy and Marine Corps, members Of
the missions of other European coun-
tries and many prominent persons in
diplomatic and official life.
Viscount 1shii said:
"ln the name of my gracious SOW
ereign, the Emperor of Japan, and rep
resenting all the libertyloving people
who own his sway, | stand to-day in
this sacred presence, not TO eulogize
the name of Washington-for that
were presumption-but to offer the
simple tribute of a peoples reverence
and love.

America, great as she is, powerful a."
she is, certain as she is of her spler-

to this immortal name. Washington IS
now a citizen Of the world; to-day he
belongs to all mankind. And so men
come here from the ends of the earth
20 honor his memory and to reiteratc
their faith in the principles TO which
his great life was devoted.
Japan claims entrance to this holy
circle. She yields TO none in reverence
and respect nor is there any gulf be-
tween the ancient East and the new
born West too deep and wide for the
hearts and the understandings of her
people to cross.

liberty and justice better than they
love life-thst men who know what
honor is-should seek this shrine, and

firm in the determination that the
struggle must 90 on until the world is
free from menace and aggression.
Japan is bound to place herself be-
eide her noble allies in this high re-
solve. and here, in the presence Of
these deathless ashes, she reaf'irms her

"Blood and Iron" for
Foes Within Russia,
Kerensky Tells Council
Kornilof to Stay
At Head Of Army

PETROGRAD. Aug. 26.--The an
nouncement that II. Savinkof, acting
Minister of War, had resigned as a
result of differences with Premier
Kerensky was premature. Whether
he will retire has not been decided.
There is no foundation for rumors
of the resignation of General Korni-
loft, the commander in chief. and
Lieutenant Lebedoeff. Minister Of
Marine, the semi-official news agency
states.
General Korniloff left for Moscow
last evening after telephone con-
versation with Premier Kerensky.
According TO the newspapers, General
Korniloff at first hesitated TO attend
the Moscow conference, as he consid-
cred the governments attitude with
regard to the organization Of the
army too indefinite.
NJ Kerensky. however, succeeded
in dispellng his doubts and the COM
mander started for Moscow
