Question Arises as to Whether They Are Two or But One
 Person.

Chicago, March 31.-The death of Rosa and Joscfa Rlazek, the "Samese twins,' has left the Cook county pro- bate court with a legal problem which apparently is unprecedented. In de- termining the disposition of the S100,- 900 estate of the twins, the court must decide if II year old Franz Is the son of one or of both of the twins.
 A scientific controversy which be- gan even before the death ot the GlS- ters early yesterday has resolved it. self into the question:;
 Were Rosa and Josef Blazek one individual personality or did they constitute separate cntities.
 If they were one personality, the son will inherit the entire fortune which was accumulated by the twins during their exhibition tours ot the world. If they were two distinct per sonalities Rosa being the mother and Josefa the aunt, only Rosa's halt of the estate would go to the lad, while Josefa's closest relatives, including her S5 wear old father and four broth- CTS would be entitled to her hai.

/. To show my faith in the worth
mess of my vocation by industrious
application to the end that 1 may
merit reputation for quality OF
service.
2. To seek success and to demand
all fair remuneration or profit as
my just due, but to accept no profit
or success ct the price of my own
self-respect lost because of unfair
advantage taken or because of ques-
tionable acts on my part.
8. To remember that in building
up my business it is not necessary to
tear down another's; to be loyal to
my clients or customers and true to
myself.
a. Whenever a doubt arises as to
the right or ethics of my position or
action towards my fellow men, to re-
solve such doubt against myself.
5. To hold friendship as an end
and not means. To hold that true
friendship exists not on account of
the service performed by one to an
other, but that true friendship de-
mands nothing but accepts service in
the spirit in which it is given.
6. Always to bear in mind my OBJ
legation as citizen to my nation, my
state and my community, and to give
to them my answering loyalty in
word, act and deed To give them
freely of my time, labor and means.
Z. To aid my fellow men by Civ
ing my sympathy to those in distress,

stance to the needy.
s. To be careful with my criti-
cisms and liberal with my praise; to
build up and not destroy.

The Commercial: In the article
we published in last weeks issue of
your paper, the number of town lots
advertised for sale as well as their
value, as shown by the publication,
was referred to and quoted.
On reflection, and denomination
of the paper, we notice that the pub
LEGATION referred to was advertising
the town lots for sale by the State
and county and not the city. 1t is
also pertinent to say that the value
of the lots quoted, about $2,5O0.OO,
should be increased at least sixty per
cent to get at the values which the
property is assessed by the city as
we understand the city assessments
are generally higher and the rate is
l 40 IN place of about 80 on the part
of the State and county.
This would make the value of lots
advertised for sale, if we include the
values of the city as. well as State
and county, about $6,500.00.

Rats and Mice.

1t costs approximately $500 per
year to feed every rat and mouse in
this county and throughout the
United States. 1t is also estimated
that the rat population is five times
as large as the human population, so
| it is easily figured that the loss from
rats and mice runs into billion dol
lars or more each year.
Rats and mice destroy tremen-
dous amount of foodstuff and they
also cause fire by chewing matches;
cause floods by chewing lead pipes
to get the moisture; destroy books,
poultry, eggs, floors and walls, and
we could go on adding to the billion
dollars which we have mentioned
above, representing the destruction
in food alone which would probably
represent billion dollars in itself.
The rat carries many diseases,
among which are cancer, typhus fe-
yer, and other desperate diseases that
we, as human beings, are afflicted
with. 1t is estimated that in India
1000, 900 deaths have been traced to
this cause; 25,000,0OO in Europe. In
addition to these deaths the economic
loss is estimated as follows: France
$40, 000,000 England $4,000, 900;
Denmark $3,OOO,OOO; United States
5000, 100000 These figures are for
the time before the war.
The campaign which started yes
terday, June /, is put on for the pur-
pose of Kidding Obion County of the
rats if possible. In putting on this
campaign it is a cooperative move
ment and must be taken seriously by
all the people of the county in order
that it's effectivenss may be felt.
There have been committees appoint
ed who will be glad to furnish any
information in connection with this
campaign or the destruction of the
rat and mouse families.
You will be referred to a proper
person by calling this office.
