FORCETS LESSONS TAUGHT
 BY FLU RAGE

When the influenza epidemic was finally conquered last winter, the public was thoroughly reused to the necessity of good sanitation and other health measures. But now the epi- oemic has been forgotten in the rush of events, and the average person is about as careless as ever.
 Warnings are issued by health au- thorities that there is a likelihood of another outbreak of this terrible scourge this season. It is not expect ed to be as severe as the first. But considering what a fearful plague it was, it will be the part of wisdom to take no chances
 Had anyone realized in advance the nature of this peril, far stricter meas ures would have been taken early last fall. In case the disease breaks out again, rigid action should be taken to close up centers of infection. The Public Health Service bulletin says that public eating and drinking places were a leading means for transmits sion of the disease. These should be carefully watched, and required either to obey the most rigid sanitary rules. or else to close.
 There should be a general cleanup of homes and streets and tenements. and boards of health should be very active in removing all unsanitary con- ditions.
 People who have influenza symp- toms should not keep on at work the way they did last fall, thus spreading the fatal scourge all over the country. It was shown that a person having the disease mildly. might communicate 1t to others who would have it severely and die there from.
 People who have even a slight case have no right to endanger the lives of others by venturing out in public. They will be far safer themselves by remaining at home. and caution on their part will save the community from a great peril.

St. Charles Mission
 Closes Tomorrow

The mission at St. Charles church which has been in progress the past two weeks, will close tomorrow even ing with the usual impressive cere- monies.
 The first week of the mission was for the women and the morning and evening services were well attended The present week was devoted to the men and they thronged the church daily and listened to the eloquent and able sermons of the mission fathers, who not only dwelt on the subject at hand, but also told amusing stories. The missionaries have been successful in stirring up a revival of interest in religion in St. Charles parish. The singing during the services was greatly admired

ITALIAN WHO SHOT STAMFORD
 MAN CAPTURED

Word has been received in Bridge port, that John Negrucci, who on April 27, 1917, shot and killed Salvatore Scippone, of Stratford, has been cap tured in Italy, and will be tried for the crime in that country. The murder was the result of a feud between the two men which culminated when two horses belonging to NegruCci tres passed upon the property of Scippone. During the argument which followed ScippOne attacked his enemy with a pitchfOrk. Negrucci then secured a shotgun and killed Scippone.

DIR. DAY TO PREACH ON
 THE WORD BECAME FLESH

Count Ckuma, Japanese statesman and Buddhist, declared that the ere ator of modern civilization was the Sage of Judea and that he alone could furnish the spiritual motive by which civilization could endure At the be- ginning of the war, he said Christian ity has failed. but Christianity had not failed. as Bernard Shaw said. be- cause it had not been tried. The laws of social and personal life which the Master evemplified have been but partly obCyed. but in proportion as men htave observed them, society has made moral and social progress. That obedience and therefore the resulting progress has for the most part rested upon the conviction that he spoke with authority because he was the Son of God. When men have been mastered by that conception. they have dared to obey him to the utter mots.
 What did the early Christians mean by calling Jesus ''The Word of God" :? What would it mean in this time of sojcal revolution if modern disciples dared to follow him? Dr. William Horace Day will preach Sunday morn ing at the 1O:3O service at the United church on the text, John 1:14, The Word Became Flesh"
 The music arranged for this service includes the anthem 70 How Amiab1e'' by Rogers, and Hide Me Beneath the Shadows" by Morrison. Following ithe morning service, the church school meets. Sunday vii mark the definite beginning of the winters work, fol- lowing Rally Day or registration day of last Sunday. At this time, the
 Mems club, of which Dr. Day is leader, also meets for the discussion of Col Hers "A New World in the Making g All men are very heartily invited to attend.

MOSQUITOES
Pest Which Causes Suffering and
Annoyance

Mosquitoes are mans inveterate tor
mentors and foes. At the seaside, on
the undrained prairies Of the West and
Northwest, in the far North, by wood
land pool and mountain meadow these
bloodthirsty brigands in countless
myriads waylay the individual on bust
ness or pleasure bent.
Swamps, ponds and marshes, how
ever, are not the only places which
breed mosquitoes. A little rain water
in an old tin can or undrained roof
gutter, if neglected, will supply mos
quitoes for a town or city neighbor-
hood, spreading discomfort, causing
insomnia and tempting to profanity.
If mosquitoes were merely bother.
some plague, there would be ample
justification for unrelenting warfare
against them, but when it is consid-
cred that several species scattered
over the United States disseminate ma
laria, rendering many regions of great
fertility almost uninhabitable, and
that one kind of mosquito found in the
South will convey yellow fever, no ar
gument for fighting them is necessary

Locusts as Food Date
Back to the Days of John
the Baptist, and Others

It was not necessary for learned
entomologist in the Johns Hopkins fac
ulty to prove the edibility Of locusts by
eating few Of them and surviving the
experiment. For unnumbered centu-
ries these insects have been an Occa-
sional, but considerable, part Of the
diet Of millions of people in several
parts Of the world, and if ever those
people hear of the Johns Hopkins mans
exploit they will smile superiority and
wonder at the belatedness Of his au-
dacity. The history Of John the Bap:
fist Is not the only recorded instance
in which empirical persons have anti5
cipated the scientist.
OF course, locusts are edible; so are
hundreds of other insects-thousands
Of them, probably-and it might not
be at all injudicious at this time, when
SO much Of the worlds population Is
going hungry, If more attention were
bestowed on what is, after all, the
largest Of new food sources. Still, the
locusts in this country are not IN much
danger as a result Of the professors
revelation, even though he does say
that they taste like shrimp.

cIadstone's Nicknames.

Talking of nicknames reminds us
that young Mr.. Gladstone is known to
his intimates as "Tuppence," name
which dates from his Elton days, for it
was during the time that he was there
that Mr.. Gladstone the elder took I'd,
off the income tax and the boys cele-
brated <le event by decorating his
son with an appropriate title.
But Lord Randolph Churchill went
one better and called the promising
young Etonian the Pocket Hercules"
on account Of his devotion to games,
and especially to football, for at this
game young Gladstone excelled and
played for his house for four years.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that SO many products that are ex-
tensiyely advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine:
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, q
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. <,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this

Dancing, Saturday Night
Program for Haitians in
Their Little Villages

Dancing to the music of drum. sax
ophone and flute is the chief source OF
amusement for Haitians in their little
villages on Saturday night, according
to an article by William Almon Wolff
in Golfers Weekly. Beginning at sun
down every Saturday night, he writes,
one will come to wine shop, If one
follows the sound Of the drum. The
drummer sits outside. His unceasing
drumming marks the rhythm of the
music; what melody there is, is borne
by a flute, and almost always there
is d saxophone. The music is the same
at every dance. 1t is in common time;
a single cadence is repeated, over and
over again.
Dancing in Haiti resembles the satur-
MALTA among the Australian aborigines,
Mr.. Wolff writes. The dancers are
frank and unashamed. and one gets
little or no feeling Of personal note
between the two one sees dancing;
rather they are staging spectacle.
