common signs of inefficiency, which
ultimately result in retrogression, Il

The purpose OF government is 70
protect its citizens, and government
which fails to shield the people from
infection cannot be truthfully called
either responsible, intelligent OF
moral.
The greatest asset of any city OF
town is the health of the citizens,
and the officials who secure this IN
the highest degree are those who ap'
preciate the responsibility placed upon
them in this very important matter.
Preventive measures in conserving
the health of the community records
success in direct ratio to the number
of lives saved, and it is pleasing to
note that the statistics of the last cen.
tury show an increase of fifteen years
in the average human life. There Is
reason TO hope that, in the future,
this increase may be duplicated in a
considerably shorter time, If earnest
use is made of present day science.
The plain fact is that not only does
ignorance breed disease but the con.
verse is almost as true and that dis
ease breeds ignorance, immortality
and strife In the light of the scien-
tific work at the present time. disease
in its horrible wholesale form is con
trollable if it cannot be entirely elm
mated. This control or elimination Is
possible only when there is an awaa-

from a water borne disease, which
occurs in your city unless you arc

Ice Made In 1857

Early In the development Of science
Ice occupied the attention and engaged
the researches Of famous scientists.
Galileo In 1897 discovered that Ice was
lighter than water. but 1t does not an.
pear that he made any particular prog
ress beyond this fact.
Regulation was observed by Fara-
day In 1850, and the investigation car.
ried on by J. d. Forbes. by Tyndall
and by Thomson, led to, the knowledge
that commercializauon OF ice produc-
tion might be turned into a great In
austry.
Americans came to the fore immedi.
ately after. Boston expectation trade
was begun by Tudor in 1906 and In
1857 Harrison perfected the machine
whereby the use of ether and salt wa
ter made possible the mass production
Of artificial Ice.

NEeULA SHOWS SOME SPEED
oody Flying Through the Heavens q
Rate Of TIVE Thousand kiloms-
ters q Second.

The Lowell observatory In FlagstaiE.
Arix.. has held Q stop watch en- the
fastest moving object ever discovered.
The spiral nebula catalogued a No,
684. Dreyers catalogue, constellation
Of Cetss. 10 flying through the heavens
at the rate Of 1000 kilometers a.sec-
ood. An aIrplane going at this speed
would circumnavigate the earth at the
equator in less than half q minute.
The spiral nebulae are the swiftest
moving objects In the known universe,
but no one has ever before been de-
tected shooting through the heavens
at much more than half the speed Of
6S4Dreyer.Cetus. Most stars move
Aowly and sedately along at about
100 kilOmeters q second. What Is per-
haps rather humiliating to US earth
dwellers II the fact that 5S4-Dreyer-
Cetus Is moving In the direction away
from our own earth and sun.
OF course the speed Of light, which
Is nearly $4,000 kilorheters a second,
makes the speed Of the spiral nebulae
seem insignificant But light does not
have to "carry weight" whereas the
nebulae. though perhaps an extremely
diffuse and tenuous form Of matter,
are none the LEES material objects Of
quite considerable ponderosity. So,
until we get later news from the celes-
dal raceeracks, we can state that the
spiral nebula in Cetus is the speedi-
est thing coming down the celestial
pike."-New York Independent.

President Tells Congress Proxts,np
Of Bill May Have to he
MODIFIED

Washington, July 4.-Presfdsnx
Harding informed congress tott,x
that while he had signed the ar1uy
appropriation bill with its pxoyfsfon
for reduction OF the regular army
to 10000 men by next October 7
1t might be necessary to ask for "a
modification OF the measure later
to avoid embarrassment to the sec
retary OF war.
The executive declared In a sper-
ial message sent to both the senate
and the house that summary Dis
missal from the army OF men VINO
had enlisted for longer period than
october 1 would seem to involve a
reputation OF a moral obligation
by the government which would nav,
its effect upon the morale or the
army and possibly influence enlist
ments in the future.
The nature OF the notifications
which might be asked for later was
not disclosed, nor did the president
explain how it was proposed to meet
the moral obligation to the men and.
at the same time, carry out the d.
rection OF congress to reduce the
force by some 10000 men in the next
three months. He did say, however.
that every effort will be made to
meet the requirement OF congress at
the earliest possible day"
Secretary Weeks in discussing the
bill today. said that IL the war de-
partment succeeded in meeting the
Limitations imposed by congress some
10000 civilian employees of the army
besides the 10000 enlisted men would
be thrown on the labor market 90
conplicate the unemployment sftua-
tion. He added that an opportunity
would be given enlisted men In the
service who desire to leave to tender
their resignations.. In this way, he
said. 1t was hoped to avoid forced
discharges.
