bites when 1t is carrying ont its mis-
sion of disease carrying. The bite lets
the poison seep into the blood and
does not poison through the food we
eat. as the fly does. Therefore, when
mosquito is near. we endeavor to
kill II to save ourselves from hurt.
But the fly does not bite and we le,
II go because we do not realize ths
harm 1t does.
Because the 1y's death-dealing pro-
clivities are not visible to the naked
eye does not signify that 1t is any TIE
less dangerous. In fact. because II
works in the dark. as II were, the
danger is even more acute.
Those persons who permit the early
fly to escape death because ii is 'only
one" would not give up so easily il
they knew the figures and statistics
compounded upon the ily's rapid null
tiplication. Statistics bore. but figures
never lie. and 1t is sometninmes neces-
sary TO make known In Geld figures the
truth of a statement. The progeny of
a single fly. II allowed to breed un-
checked. will amount 10 something
like 6,4ss. s.560.000.000 But this figure
goes for only one batch OF female eggs.
Sometimes the original parent dies
after laying one batch, but as likely as
not she will lay three more patches OF
eggs. II she does. then these figures
must be multiplied by three. Mathe-
maticians would be staggered BY tho
resulting figures.
Half OF this total are female flies.
which means that TO kill few flies
in the spring is equal 10 destroying
billions in the fall Every uncounta-
BILE swarm in the autumn is the result
of the existence OF one female ily in
the springtime. Therefore. wage un-
ceas.ng war while ii Is yet early

away with countless hordes OF the
things you may be the means OF saw
Ing many OF your fellows from disease

THE CRISIS.

Three men Of worldwide renown are reported
as saying substantially the same thing. The
statement on which President Wilson, Premier
Lloyd George and ex-President Taft agreed is
best put in the words of the latter, speaking at
Omaha:
To-day is more serious in Europe than the
day upon which the German hordes came nearest
to Paris. It is the crisis of the world. Should
Europe go to pieces, America would be involved
in another world war without the least doubt. .
Europe had long before the war been looked
upon by the discerning as "seething volcano of
social unrest" Today it approaches the eruption
point. Efforts to further stifle the elemental
forces there struggling for expression but hasten
= Tire explosion.
Let the constructors of elaborate systems Of
economics forget their inventions. There is an
order in the affairs of men and nations that is
natural and therefore right because ordained of
God or Nature or what you will. Let this be as
certained and established even as the law of
mathematics is established, lest civilization
perish.
A joint influenza committee has just been
created to study the epidemic and to make COM

Your Other Brain

Down in the abdominal cav.
ity lies q Great "plexus" or
network of nerve centres,
that has been called the "ab-
dominal brain. !" 1t cannot
think. Its functions are to
superintend and keep in
operation various mechan-
ical processes, such as the
proper secretion of mois-
ture by intestinal glands and
adequate action of intestinal
muscles in the walls of the
bowels.
It receives messages from
nerves in various region. of
the body, but being unable to
reason. it often acts blindly,
imperfectly, or improperly.
Ii may stop secretion, lessen
muscular action - and the
result is constipation.

TREATS AND GRATUITIES.


Commenting on the conditions now obtaining
in North Dakota, John A. Cavanagh, vice presi-
dent of the Des Moines National Bank. in Com
merce and Finance, says:
The most far-reaching attempt ever made in
this country to bestow Greats and gratuities"
upon the people is now in progress in the state
Of North Dakota. IF those who are in temper
airy power there fulfill their entire program they
will have driven the banker, the grain elevator
man, the flour manufacturer, the baker,. the
wholesale and retail grocer, the travelling sales
man, the insurance agent, the contractor and
builder, the real estate dealer, the money lender
and few other commercial drones completely
out Of existence and will have placed all the bust
ness of several hundred thousand men in the
hands of three men, hand picked by the political
rulers of the state. It is hardly to be wondered
at that established commerce and and finance
should look across the rolling plains and praries
to the turbid waters of the Missouri and should
wonder just what priceless jewel of democracy
will next be brought up by the political pearl
fishers of North Dakota.
Those old-fashioned economists who have been
taught to believe that commercial and financial
success comes as a result Of individual effort,
that behind every great business establishment
is human entity, must look with amazement
upon the effort to eliminate entirely the indi-
vidual, dispense completely with personal initia-
tive and relegate summarily to the scrap pile of
oblivion the efforts Of men to improve upon the
records of themselves and their fellow men. The
spectacle is presented to their astounded eyes Of
far-reaching program to run many and varied
businesses by q single machine, to make cogs
and cams succeed brains and Drawn. The fact
that the omniscient, omnipotent machine is not
the handiwork of an Edison, a Ford Wright,
but the overnight creation Of man whose IA
miliarity with business was secured in the court
of bankruptcy and whose mechanical expert
ence has been confined to tinkering with an old
political machine, makes the spectacle all the
more remarkable and incomprehensible.
Without going into the minute intricacies of
the political fortunes Of North Dakota it is suf-
ficient to recite that the men in authority there
at the present time have an ambitious program,
the chief plank Of which is to turn over to the
state government all of those functions Of social
commercial and financial life heretofore per-
formed by men who voted political ticket other
than that named by those now in power.

TheStoryL Lady


Baby Paul was a remarkable child
there was no doubt Of that. He cut
a tooth in three month, sat alone at
four and a half, crept everywhere at
seven months, and now was trying to
pull up chairs.
Peter was entertaining him on his
little play quilt out on the grass one
sunny afternoon when papa came in
early and sat down to have a romp
with his youngest son. Peter seized
the chance totrun away and give
Mary Ellen a cinnamon roll he had
been saving all afternoon.
The paper boy came along and
threw the paper in papa's lap and
papa got interested in the strike and
when he looked up Paul had disap-
peared. Peter came back about that
time and he and papa looked every
where but had to give up and call the
rest ofthe folks to help.
They looked under the house and
in the barn though mama didn' think
he could crawl so far. Mama looked
very much worried and the twins
we're in tears.
HE Is 50 little an sweet" Patty
kept wailing.
Pan the dog lay in front of his lit
tie house watching them. Finally he
ran up and took hold Of Patty's little
dress. Patty stopped crying and let
him lead her over and looked In and
gave a little cry Of joy that brought
them all flying. Cuddled upon Pans
rug sound asleep was Baby Paul.
Mama had him in her arms in a
