 Norman Dempsey, manager of the Monson all team, was in town We'd nesday afternoon. Apparently he had a purpose in coming here. It can best te expressed by that newly coin ed phrase ito rub it in" He sought out MT. Day and began to chide him for the way the team has been playing, enumerating all the defeats and wind ing up with the threat to cancel the games which Stafford and Monson are to play on Labor Day. Manager Day looking at things in a different light, gave as good as he got, 'tis said. No Gcuit the words waxed warm. The result was that MT. Day and sev eral who overheard the conversation, but especially MT. Day since he is the manager, are more than ever de- termined that MOnson will taste de- feat at the hands of Stafford on Labor Day. So it turns out that, as far as Stafford is concerned, Manager Demp- sey did more good than harm through his little confabulation with Stafford's manager. The results on Labor Day will probably show that the harm was done to his team.

 Much dissatisfaction is being shown here as we'll as in Rockville over the new trolly fare rate which went into effect last Sunday. The total fare to Hartford is the same, 9S cents as it was if cash was paid instead of using zone tickets. But the fare to the lake, witL the abolishing of the zone tickets. for instance, has been greatly changed Now twenty four cents is teing charg- ed for this ride. Up till Sunday it was twelve cents if the zone tickets were used or eighteen cents if cash was paid. For ride to West StaitoIl l, eighteen cents is Eeing charged and to Cooper Lane, twelve cents. ill Rockville protest has cen made to the put lie utilities commission. While there is much complaint over tne increase it must be rememl cred that the trOlly rates will have to be in- creased enough to enatle the com- pany to pay expenses or we will not have the trOlly.

FLEA EMBALMED IN HONEY
Little Insect Pest Found Which Met
Its Fate In Egypt Many Thou
sands Of Years Ago.

It is believed that the earliest food
store laid aside for his wants by man,
and which Is still In existence, is a jar
of honey found In an Egyptian tomb,
and probably placed there for the sus-
tenance Of the dead during the jour-
ney across the Stygian river, says the
American Forestry Magazine. When
found. the honey had changed into a
very dry candy and II had lost Its
sweetness, though Ii could still be
identified as honey.
In the bottom of the jar, well COW
cred with honey, was a dead flea of
precisely the same sort as those which
plague Egypt to this day. Apparently,
the insect had hoped into the jar
while the last rites over the dead were
being observed, and when the jar was
corked, the little fellow was shut up
within, and. like the true patriot, he
probably would have declared that
death vas sweet. Anyway, he sank
to the bottom while the honey was
still soft, and there the Psychologists
found MIN after good many thou
sands of years.

PEAT SUPERIOR FOR BEDDING
Given Thorough Trial at Minnesota
Experiment Station and Found
Quite Satisfactory.

The use of peat for barn litter or
cattle bedding has been given a thor
ough trial through several years at
the Minnesota north central expert
ment station. II has been found SUI
perlor to straw as an absorbent and
the cattle have never been so clean as
when this was used. Not only has
the manure output doubled, but all
the straw is available for feeding.
Peat is not good bedding material
to use for dairy cows because OF the
fine particles which find their way into
the milk pail no matter how thor
oughly you brush them.

riers of disease by conveying harmful
bacteria or parasites. II Is possible
for an egg TO become infected with NIL
cro-organisms either before or, more
especially, after II IL laid, since the
porous shell offers no great resistance

which cause II to spoil or rot. II an
egg is eaten raw or only slightly

full kind.
Sources Of Infection.
II an egg remains In a dirty nest,
for example, defiled with typhoid fe-
yer microorganisms carried there on
the hens feet or feathers. II Is not
strange II some Of these bacteria occa-
sionally penetrate the shell, and the
egg thus becomes possible source
of Infection. Perhaps one Of the most
common troubles due to bacterial in
lection Of eggs Is the more or less Sc
rious illness sometimes caused by eat
ing eggs that are stale. This, often
called ptomaine poisoning. is more
correctly styled food poisoning, and Is
caused by microorganisms that ere
commonly associated with filth, food
specialists Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture say.
Cleanliness Is Essential.
Judged by the comparatively small
number of cases of infection or poi
soning due to eggs reported in medi-
cal literature, the danger OF disease
from this source Is not very great.
However, In view of this possibility,
1t is best TO keep eggs as clean as pos
sible and thus endeavor to prevent in
lection. Clean poultry houses, poul-
try runs and nests are important.
Eggs should always be stored and mar
keted under sanitary conditions. The
subject Of handling food in cleanly
manner is too seldom thought OF, and
what is said of eggs in this connection
applies to many other foods with even
more force. Since II is not wise to
wash eggs that are to be kept, only
clean ones should be selected for this
purpose. Always, when eggs are used,
the shells should be carefully cleaned
Just before they are broken, otherwise
any dirt on the outside may find Its
way into the food.

CARE OF HARNESS IS
OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Wash Thoroughly With Soap and
Water Before 0iIing.
It VIII Last Longer n Kept Clean and
10 Less Liable to Cause Sores on
Horses-coIlars Should 30
Examined Often.

Harness should be kept clean and
we'll oiled. II will then be less liable
to cause sores on the horses and will
last longer. Before the harness is
oiled II should be taken apart and
thoroughly washed with soap and
water. When nearly dry apply meats.
foot oil with sponge or a wooden
rag. Do not hang harness In heat or
In the sun to dry. A tablespoonful Of
lampblack with two ounces Of melted
beeswax may be added TO the oil for
black dressing. Fish oil may be used
on harness, or prepared oils may be
secured at harness shops. All parts
of the harness should be strong.
Every horse should have its own col
lar, which should fit snugly to the neck
from top to bottom. Most sore necks
are caused by large collars or by
draught being too low on the point Of
the shoulder. To fit new or an old
collar to a horse soak the collar over
night In water, wipe 1t off I'm the
morning, and fit ii on the horse. Work
moderately through the day. The col
lars should be examined every morn
ing and the bearing surface kept clean
and smooth. The horses neck should
be kept clean. A good plan In hot
weather is to wash it every night with
a weak solution of salt water. Keep
the collar and names buckled tight.
Before hitching to a wagon be sure
that the neck yoke is safe and that the
traces will not become unfastened.
