WHY so MANY RAILWAY
CROSSING DEATH

Twenty years ago time was just as
valuable as at the present age.
There was no more of it than at the
present time-and every minute was
needed, precisely as it is now.
Yet very rarely was there chroni-
cled a death or mishap at what are
now styled grade crossing" even
though the horses driven might have
been prancing and straining at the bit.
And this goes to show that it is only
the careless, the thoughtless, the fool
ish. who yield up their lives because of
the great desire to beat the train to
the crossing"-and fail to function.
1t is a safe conclusion that if the
same care We're to be used by the men
driving cars that was in practice a
score of years ago when horses We're
used there would be no more accidents
population considered, than were then
chronicled.
Even the child knows that the trains
have the right of way on their own
rails. There is no one driving a car
even though the route be a strange one
who cannot readily recognize where
the crossings are located; and who
cannot understand that the car is
much easier to stop than is the heavy
train.
The cause for the many fearful acct
dents of which we read every day is
merely the lack of common sense on
the part of those who believe them
selves immune from trouble, and fancy
railway train but n toy that has no
right to interfere with an important"
traveller. Once in a great while some
driver will make an ante mortem
statement that his brakes failed to
work"-and the engineer has the right
of comeback by saying that his brakes
were in the same condition.
In the words of Solomon: Better is
two minutes delay on the safe side of
crossing than to have the lowly-wend
ing throng murmur as each passes the
bier: He doesn't look very natural
do you think? He must have been
stepping on it mighty hard "-Kissim-
NEE Valley Gazette.

quently. Food showing the slightest
evidence of spelling should be re-
moved from the refrigerator at once.
Even more attention should be paid
to the hands of every person who pre-
pares or handles the food. Hands
should always be washed before han
ding food, and always after visiting
the toilet, using the handkerchief, or
otherwise coming in contact with the
nose or mouth. Theoretically, cough
ing and sneezing ought not to occur
in the neighborhood of food, especially
of food to be eaten raw; and persons
with coughs, colds, or other communi-
cable diseases, however slight. ought
not to handle food at all. OF course,
such a state as that is almose impossi-
BILE to maintain, but absolute cleanli-
ness of the hands will do much to pre-
vent the spread of infection by means
of food

SOME SINGING SMILES

Singing is not always all that it's
Cracked up TO be, especially if the
singer happens to have a cracked
voice. MANY little singers want to
run before they can walk" says Major
Jack Allen. With some singers whom
we have heard, the. ability to dodge
would be an advantage. But lots of
singers with true musical instinct
bring happy moments with their vocal
efforts. Opera singers and concert ar
lists have large followings. So do
vaudeville singers of popular songs
register high in public approval, Some
people find no difficulty in getting rid
of an unwelcome guest-they begin to
sing. It's the over ambitions amateur
who incites his hearers into a state of
agitation. He's the bird" we had in
mind when we began this paragraph.
And jokes about this type of singer
always hit high note of laughter on
the screen in Topics of the Day"
Films. Just to keep in tune and %lly
mood join US in our chorus of siLging
smiles.

Cleanliness i'm the Home

A clean, we'll cared for house is de-
sirable from every point of view, but
certain kinds of cleanliness affect
health more than others. The most
scrupulous care should be exercised
wherever food is stored or prepared.
From the standpoint of health no room
in the house is SO important as the
kitchen II should be bright, airy and
easy to clean, and there should be
neither cracks or crevices in wall or
floor, and no dark corners or out-of-
the-way cupboards in which dust, food
particles and moisture can accumulate.
Such conditions not only attract mice
and reaches, but furnish favorab BILE soil
for development of mould the presence
of which is very harmful to food.
Waging a constant warfare against the
development of bacteria constitutes a
large part of good housekeeping.
All cooking utensils should be thor
oughly washed, scalded and dried be-
fore they are put away. and any enam-
eled or agate ware which has begun
TO chip should be discarded. Dishes
should be washed and dried carefully,
and dish clothes and towels should be
washed and boiled after using, and if
possible dried in the sun.
Every place in which food is kept
should have constant care. The re-
frigerator is particularly important. Its
Innings should be water-tight and the
drain freely open at all times, and at
least once week 1t should be entirely
Nnptied and cleaned in the following
Way: The Tacks should be thoroughly
washed in hot soapsuds TO which q
small amount of washing soda has
been added, rinsed in boiling water
dried and placed in the sun. All parts
of the refrigerator should be washed
in the same manner. especially grooves
or projections where food or dirt may
lodge. The drainpipe should be
flushed, the whole interior rinsed again
with plain hot water. thoroughly dried
with a clean cloth and left to air for at
least an hour. The drainage pan
should be washed and sealded fire.

THE MISGoVERNMENT OF AMER.
ICAN CITIES,

The political management of great
cities is the severest test of the repub-
lican form of government. City life
is not conducive TO active interest in
municipal affairs. This fact is notori-
GUS the country over, and accounts for
the autocraeies, despotisfns and oil
garchies which gain control Of cities
by the use Of democratic rights and
privileges.
These forms of oppression used to
be called rings" which are combina-
tions OF officials formed to perpetuate
their MEMBERSHIP office, to control po-
litical appointments and policies and,
most of all, to fatten on the opportuni-
0ties to divert public funds into their
private pockets by elaborate frauds
consummated by apparently legal
methods, through collision and great
variety of subterfuges by which pub
lie works, patronage of all sorts and
valuable privileges are steered into the
control of the favored group.
Usually these perversions of repub-
lican government to abominable uses
are directed by one master mind, for
merly called a boss" who heads the
plundering organization and never
York. and the late George B. Cox, in
Cincinnati have been prominent ex-
amples of this political autocracy. For
quarter of a century Cox absolutely
ruled Cincinnati. No despot ever ex-
ercised greater control over the people
than he. Other men in other cities viii
occur to our readers as having exer-
cised similar extraordinary power.
Frequently these despotisms have been
benevolent in a way but always their
purpose is the accumulation of riches
from public funds rather than the
economical and honest government of
cities.
In many smaller cities, and a few
larger ones, notably Dayton, Ohio, a
different system, authorized by state
laws, has been used to put stop to
the abuses of power mentioned above
1t is called the commission form of
government, under which three men,
elected by the people, usually compose
the commission and select a city man
ager who conducts all the business of
the municipality. This centers re-
sponsibility and in Dayton, at least,
has brought about economics and re-
forms which are notable. The main
spring of the commission government
is the adoption of business principles
in city affairs, the elimination of
waste and graft, and the promotion of
the general welfare and law obser-
vance.
The stake the people in the govern
ment of such cities as New York Chi
cago and Philadelphia. is enormous.
Tho xxyopday, io that fbaf,. nop,1Ia t;n7 nj
ways, or nearly always, lose out in the
elections. The reason why they lose
is the apathy of business men when
the periodical contests come on, and
the strange willingness of city prop
erty owners to have their pockets
picked by political crooks.

A STUDY IN WASTE,

ut was a poor year when I did not
clear $4,000. Now I'm forty-one
years old. That's old age for jockey.
don't seem TO be any good at any
thing else and I'm down and out. Send
me to Jail, judge. or any place where L
can get something TO eat. don't know
how to steal; l can't beg, and I'm
starving"
Those are the words uttered to a
New York magistrate the other day by
Willie Sims, once a star jockey on
American race courses. He rode Ben
Brush, Plaudit, and other great win
ners for years, and might have saved
$4,000 during his prosperous years.
which, invested in gilt-edged securi-
ties, would have yielded him an income
of $4,000 or so a year for life. Now, at
Al, be is an absolute pauper, unable to
earn his daily bread.
The folly of youth! The wretched
waste and foolishness during fat
yearsI Can anyone doubt the neces-
sity of teaching thrift in our public
schools? With poor Willie Sims it
was come easy go easy" and so it
has been with unnumbered thousands
in the past and will be with a multi
tude in the future until we train our
children, year after year, to save and
save and save. Once we educate our
youth in thrift, as we should, young
men, who now waste their earnings
from 20 to 80, will save them and in
stead of discomfort and radical lean
ings in life, we shall have home
owners and prosperity among those
who now disturb employers with their
wild political vagaries.

SURELY A DIPLOMAT.

DIR. Joseph Kornfeld, of Columbus,
Ohio, gives every indication that he
will prove a success in the diplomatic
corps. When his appointment was an
nounced as minister to Persia he re-
ceived a request from a publication in
the east asking for an interview on
what he thought the policy of the
United States toward Persia should be.
He took his pen quickly and wrote:
Not having as yet been confirmed by
the United States senate, il would be
the height of folly for me TO make any
statement" Then & few days later he
was confirmed and again the request
came from the same publication for an

And way up in Your own estimation
And you look proudly down
on the rest of the town,
From your lofty but Insecure station
II your fancied estate,
Makes YOU think yourself great,
But the altitude makes you feel dizzy;
Bore a hole in your top,
Let the gas out--and drop.
Get busy, my boy-get busy!

winnings
And the money you get
Makes you ready TO bet
Your good fortune is only beginning;

And your sparkler's in soak

And you honestly feel

Though yeu think you can steer
