THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

This week will witness one Of the
epochal political events of our time
the republican convention at Chicago,
which will nominate candidates for
president and yice-president and adopt
platform Of principles and policies
upon which the party will go before
the voters of the country asking APP
proval. In bygone days, conventions
were merely matter of routine,
carrying out things agreed upon by
the leaders. The issues upon which
declarations were made were largely
national, and the principles for which
republicanism stood were time-hon-
ored and well-established, upon which
there could be little discord.
But with the coming Of the pro-
gressiye movement in the. ranks of re-
publicanism in 1912, the solidarity of
the party was threatened for the first
time. LaFollette was the leader of the
progressives for awhile, but the great
west refused to support him and the
progressives turned to Roosevelt as
their leader. 1t was the action of the
"Old Guard" at Chicago, in denying
Roosevelt delegates seats, which pre-
cipitated the break and caused sepa-
rate convention of progressives at
Chicago, with Roosevelt as the NOM
inee, and it was this division of the
party which caused Democratic vic
tory. Curiously enough, it was the
action of the old line credentials COM
mittee in ousting progressive dele
gates from California, under Hiram
Johnson's leadership. which caused
the republican party to lose the pres
idency, for California progressives
threw the state to Wilson and gave
him the presidency. The four years
of Democratic rule, and the slogan,

in its lifc history
it follows, therefore. that the or
adication Of the mosquito is the most
direct and forceful factor in stamping
out malaria. Many localities can be
practically rid Of these pests BY the
drainage Of the swamps or ponds in
which they breed; BY the use Of kerr
osine on the surface Of such waters,
thereby excluding the air; or by the
introduction Of fish, that feed on the
laryal. Among the fish recommend
ed are Sun Fish" and "Stickle-
Backs" Effective screening and seq
regation of malarial patients are
other important factors in prevention,
for the mosquito is powerless to trans
NIT the disease, unless it contracts the
poisonous material from the ma
larial person. It must be remember
ed that the insect will breed success
fully in any transient pool of water or
in any receptacle where water is left
standing long enough for the changes,
before mentioned to take place.

The following is the first prize
essay in the MaIariai Essay Contest,
conducted in the schools Of this city,
the essay being the work Of Miss
Lillian Davis, who won first prize in
the High School. Other first-prize
essays will be published later.
The disease, known as malaria,
common in tropical and temperate
regions, is caused by the presence in
the blood Of parasitic organism, one
Of the lowest forms of animal life
known as plarmodium malarial. It's
rapid development at certain stages
produces the well known fever con-
nected with the disease. Recent ex-
periments made by the medical pro-
fession proved beyond a doubt that
malaria is carried by a certain mos
quito called the Anopheles. Only the
females transmit the poison, and they
may be distinguished from the males
since the latter have feathery centen-
nae. The life history of the mos
quito may be divided into four stages:
first, the egg; second, the larval stage
or the fmiliar little 'wiggletails';
third, the pupa, which is a resting,
inactive stage, and fourth, the adult.
1t seems that the malarial parasite is
injected into the blood with the saliva
Of the insect, and it further appears
that this parasite requires two hosts,
the mosquito and the human for its
complete development. In other
words it must enter the salivary
glands of the mosquito to complete
its life history.
In its simplest form the malaria
parasite is formed in the red corpus.

AIRING DIRTY LINEN.

With the coming of the presidential
conventions the airing of dirty linen
is on the increase. 1t has been done
by both parties, and there is much
bitterness in both camps. If all that
has been printed is true, there is
not n candidate in either party worthy
of the great trust to which the pres
ent campaign is tending.
However, after the conventions, it
will become bitter partisan fight
There will be no division in the re-
spective democratic or republican
camps; or at least it appears now
that both parties will be united as
parties.
The republicans are investigating
mistakes made in the conduct of The
war, and saddling them on the present
administration, although party lines
were obliterated during the war and
both parties supported the war pro-
gram One is responsible as much as
the other, but the party in power will
carry all the blame.
The republicans, since being in
power in the legislative branch of the
government, have generously spent
taxpayers money in fortifying them
selves through congressional investi-
cations with information which will
be turned loose on the public after the
convention is over

DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
 KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers, Drink Lots of
 Water.

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which re- stimulates them to their normal activ- ity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood Tn 24 hours they strain from it 800 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active.
 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any pharma- cist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in glass Of water before breakfast each morning for few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure; makes a delightful effervescent Whitewater drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache.-Adv.

RAILROADS AGAIN
 IN OWNERS HANDS
FEDERAL CONTROL ENDED AT MIDNIGHT AFTER A PERIOD
 OF 26 MONTHS.
HINES TO RETAIN POSITION
Of the Gigantic Organization Formed By McAdoo as a War Time Ex- pedient Only a Small Part
 Will Remain.

Washington. - Americas rail trans portation systems, operated as one great public utility since December 2S. 1917, again will be devided among their 230 respective corporate owners when the government released it's con- trol. Director General Hines, as the agent of the president, will hand over the properties and equipment, valued at approximately $2000O,000 ,000, their old direction, free except for the jurisdiction retained by the govern ment in the new railroad reorganiza- tion bill
 While all arrangements for formal restoration of the carriers to their owners were completed by Mr Hines. instructions went out to operating rep resentatives of the Railroad Admfnls- tration informing them that they would report to the proper officials of the corporations which resume con trOl at 12:01 a. m, March 1.
 Of the gigantic organization creat- ed by former Director McAdoo as a wartime expedient only a small part will remain. Regional officials, feder- al managers and treasurers and many high officials comprising the director l generals staff will cease to function as such at the designated hour. Some of these have gone back ct their for mer places as officials of the corpora tions, while others have entered into new lines of endeavor.
 MT. Hines will continue in his pres ent capacity until about May 1. Al though without any railroads to di- rect he still faces the settlement of literally thousands of claims, contracts and grievances. Only 147 of the 230 compensation contracts with the cor porations actually were signed during the government control, and the re mainder will continue to be the sub ject of negotiations. Damage claims have arisen, of which many are still pending Labor has several thousand cases before the government wage boards and MT Hines has assured the labor spokesmen those will be con, cluded.
