town than all the draining and
dredging of years, according to-
Professor Hornig. Salt-marsh mo-
suuitoes have been eliminated
from the Philadelphia vicinity
during the war, and they are the
only great travellers in the skeeter
family.
Newark mosquitoes are all of the
home bred variety, bred in drain
pine vents, broken bottles, garden
pools, tin cans and other bric-a-
brac ordinarily found except just
after cleanup week in many back
yards or just over the back fence.
In most houses there is some
where a vent leading to a trap in
a drain pipe, water collects in the
bottom of this pipe. When the
house is closed for any length Of
time, particularly in summer this
water becomes stagnant and mo-
lsuuitoes thrive. One drain may
produce NllIllUlIS. L CIV VI tiASoS
town bred mosquitoes are danger
Gus but some bred in open pounds
and larger pools are of the deadly
malarial variety.
The pouring of kerosene on these
pools is of course one way of exter-
minating the mosquitoes, intro
ducting gold fish or minnows is the
other. Draining the pool is better
still if this can be done.
Mosquito fighters are convinced
that the only way ever to make the
town proof against the home-bred
variety is to start and continue a
campaign of education in the
schools, in the hope that when the
youngsters grow up they will re-
member the lessons and put then
to good effect. One lazy neighbol
in section where the mosquitoes
are thick can make the work of al
Others almost useless merely by
doing nothing and letting the pest:
increase.

Why Pigs Eat Chickens

hints for preventing pigs from
eating chickens.
1t is easier to prevent pigs and
hogs from eating chickens than it
is to break the habit after it is
once formed. Chicken eating hogs
usually acquire the habit in one of
the two following ways.

been killed or injured in the hog

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
ny AIRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am en-
gagged to a young soldier. Before he
went to war M asked me to wait>for
him and I promised I would. He did
not buy me a ring. because he could
not afford to do so at that time.
Now he has returned and he acts
as if he had never known me. When
We meet on the street he looks the
other way. He also goes around with
another girl and I have seen them
he was writing to this girl while he
was away, but [ would not believe it.
have written for an explanation,
but he has not answered me. Do you
think it would be a good plan to call
upon his mother and ask her what
has made him turn against me?
LONELY HEART.
Just imagine what kind of a hus-
band that young man would have
made, and then be thankful that you
and he were separated before any
thing more serious developed.
He was most ungentleman.. to
drop you without an explanation. Do
not talk to his mother about the at
fair, however. Forget him and do
nothing further to show that you care.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: / have been
married four years and half and
have two children living and one
dead. My husband is very cruel to
me, often beating me on the head
and kicking me. which my oldest
child is learning to do. This hurts
me worse than for his father to do it.
Now my husband is telling an aw-
full lie about me and I did not know
it until yesterday. He is accusing me
of adultery. / have left him twice,
but he came to me and coaxed me to
go back with him.
Please tell me what ! should do.
Should 1 take my two little boys and
ieave him for good. or should / con-
tinue to live with him the way I am
1 am a good cook and good
housekeeper. I keep myself and boys
neat and clean. My husband has al
ways been like this. My boys are
80 months and one year old. Could
1 get them il were TO get divorce
MRS. DESPERATE.
If you are capable of making a
| living for yourself and children
| think you should leave your husband
| and sue him for divorce and alirnony.
You will get the children since he is
disappearing your character. II
will be much better for the children
| to be away from such an influence.
If you cannot get work as house
| keeper and keep your children,
should think it would be possible for
you to make good money running a
rooming and boarding house.

Universal Training should take. We.
as q nation, are sick of war and we
do not want to do one thing which
will make another war more likely
Let the discussion as to form continue
until the sentiment in the country has
crystallized but let us prepare. Not
prepare for war but prepare against
the time when we may be called upon
to serve our country. We build barns
to shelter our stock before Indictment

rains and the SHOWS before we start
construction. Let US look with equal
care to the protection of our national

To sum it up the vital point in the

THE KANSAS LEGISLATURE.

At no time in the history of Kansas,
perhaps, has the need of safe, sane
legislation in this state been greater
And be it said to the glory of the state
and the credit of the present legisla
ture that the need has been met. AS
body the state legislature has as
serted an independence, freedom of
thought and a determination of pur
pose that has been highly refreshing.
! When the legislature goes home
next week, it will have written a num-
Der of laws. In the main, tho, these
laws will merely cover the situations
defects in the existing statutes. The
legislature will pass the appropriation
bills, possibly a new labor law. per-
haps a few other general acts. But
without a demand from the voters and
taxpayers of the state for bulky ses-
sion laws, the 1919 legislature is max
ing the big majority of the people in
Kansas most happy-by using a club
on everything that looks like a law
which is not needed.
Kansas legislators have faced their
Iull Ol lIIS bOiSIleNlSllC pro-
posals. They have been asked to pass
bills which would put Kansas in a
Socialistic class. But the legislature
hasn't SHE'D or sidestepped. 1t has
killed the dreamy stuff in a manner
that will give the house and senate a
wonderful batting record. It has re-
fused to bow to the administration or
to be intimidated by over-zealous adj
ministration publications. 1t has Of
fered to aid the governor in every
manner. But it refused to call a con-
stitutional convention and will prob
ably refuse to submit the farm ten
antry amendment. And all of this be-
cause not one petition has come to the
| legislature asking for revolution in
state government in the present crisis.
| At times the legislature has be-
come a bit sentimental. 1t has passed
almost everything that was labelled
| happiness. aid and comfort for the
returned soldiers. But it refused to
send a bunch of state officials and
legislators to New York with $4,000
of the states money for a hurrah
party in behalf of the boys.
The strength of the present Kansas
legislature has been in its Willingness
to meet every issue. There has been
no partisan politics. Almost without
exception the members have viewed
their respon- Utilities in the light of a
new and changing situation-an I'M
certainty and unrest which naturally
| follows the war. In the house and
| senate are members who have
| whooped and shouted with the Pro-
gressives. We Populists and the Farm
ers' Alliance in the GOO" old yester-
| da But today these men are care
fully inspecting every bill that
| threatens an overthrow of an estab-
lished system of government in Kan
sas
And therein the Kansas legislature
is strong. 1t isn't afraid of the trains
1t doesn't shy at new styles of prog
ress in state government. It does its
own inspecting. 1t doesn't apologize
for its action. 1t will go home just as
it came ~ Topek~ doing its own
guc ssing.

Just Believe
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

There Is very little difference be-
tween success and failure. But that
difference means everything, for it's
the difference between belief and I'M
belief.
Believe-and worl Is may pass,
The man who writes a better book.
who builds a better building, who
constructs a finer machine. who paints
a better picture, than anybody else, is
the man who first believes that he can
do these very things better than they
have ever been done before
So, you see. while it's very simple,
1t is in reality very important to-
just believe.
Would you wipe out the achieve
ments of a Napoleon or an Edison.
or schwab. or a Whistler. you would
first nave to wipe out from the hope
canopied heart of each of them their
belief in ultimate glory.
For, belief is the thing that drives
a man to his goal. Tell him that he
is not going to win, that the patti be-
fore him is INSTRUCTED. and he will
se-karat diamonds and say to you:
But 1 believe."
You could wipe away the Rocky
mountains easier than you could wipe
from the brain of an indonitable man
his belief-his faith in winning.
For. it Is the belief that a man
carries within him, that spurs him on
that trips up every failure along the
way and that leads him with a high
head and a straight-faced vision &C
