Page He Pied Piper for the
 Rats Of Noble AUe. Are Like Those Of Old H0nleLin TOlUy,

There is an old German legend which mas been the theme for a poem written by Browning. The legend it. Hame1in."
 It appears. according to the legend. that certain town was infested with rats ana that all efforts t0 exter- minate the rodents proved futule. Along came the hero of the story and proposed to eXterminate the pests by enchanting them with his music He was to receive a stipulated amount he was successful and behold he appeared one day arrayed in a gaudy suit playing a hute-like in strument.
 To the amazement of the towns people all the rats came forth and in parade formation followed the "Pi- per-" who lured them into the weser river.
 Now all this is supposed to have been enacted away back in the year many moons save since come and gone and many, many pestilences have visited many peoples of the earth.
 Bridgeport is far removed from that ancient village by time and dis tance. but Bridgeport has been visited by pestilence alike in nature to the one of Hanelin. Very recently a Park City and the Board of Health submitted to the public as the only means of escape from the scourge of the disease-Vaccinatio
 This vaccinating operation was set forth as a possible means of the value of vaccination have been dis cussed elsewhere, but that the Board of Health through it's officials endeav- pred to have the school children sub- init to the process is a. well known fact.
 All this for the welfare of the health of the community.

FIRST YEAR OF HARDING

 The Republican high tariff policy and commercial isolation. which thus far have been their outstanding remedies for all post war ills. fly in the face of every sound economic law of today. These mean ruin to our foreign markets and in turn continued stagnation and panic industrial conditions at home. The first year of this administration will always be notable for its failures rather than for its successes- Cordel HufT, Chairman Demo cratic National Committee.

avenues there exists a public dump which is infested with rats.
 The people who live in the vicinity have very patiently awaited the ac- ing the state of affairs at the dump. While the necessary evils of such place are looked for such as pad odorS, and perhaps a few rats, they strongly resent being visited by such big fellows and so consistently that they deem it necessary to carry arms for their protection
 A story, believe it or not, is being circulated that one day last week an unsuspecting dog was meanderlng around the dump and his right to by some of the rats. A quarrel re- suited and being outnumbered the poor canine took to flight. He ran up Noble avenue and in his wake left several pursuers whom he finally evaded.
 This is but one of the prevalent stories about the rats. That any ac- ton by the Board of Health has been the health of the citizens of Bridge port by endeavoring to extermSnate the pests of the public dumps could not be ascertained.
 bers of the Board of Health send out one of the newly appointed investi gators all dressed up in a testers suit and by means of the weird strains of a jewsharp, entice the rodents to leave their happy home and jump into the Pequonnock river, but it is felt by many that more danger of bad health and possibilities of germ carrying exist by the rats running around promiscuously, that by a per sons refusing to submit to yaccina- ton.
 One of the residents of the district in question has submitted for the ap- proval of the Board of Health the following poem. With apologies to Major Steubenberg, he wrstes:

Prevention Of COlds-"This is the
time of year when colds are prevalent
because of changeable weather, the
wearing of lighter clothing these first
damp days and the shutting of win
dows in the house." says Mrs. Harry
Porry, health nurse and teacher OF
hygiene at State College, Brookings.
Exposure and chilling are often
the causes OF a nose cold, so the skin
should be trained not to react to chill
ing and dampness. This is done by
daily bathing. followed by a rub of
with a wastcioth dipped III cold wa
ter, then a dry rub with a coarse
towel. Heavy wraps should not be
put on too early in the fall. but the
outing clothing should be adapted to
suit the weather, and on rainy days
mothers must see that the children
wear lubbers, as wet feet u many
colds. Indoor workers. housewives
and school children ought not to wear
as heavy underwear as outdoor work

do not be afraid to let your skin
breathe. and have your windows open
at night so the air can circulate free

Perry suggests.
But II you do get a cold, the health
nurse at State college believes the en-
ergency treatment of hot footbath, a
hot drink of fax seed tea or lemon
ade, an intestinal cleanser and a
sweat will usually cure the nasal in
lection.
"If you have a cold, remember that
it is unpleasant and a drain on your
system. Therefore, be considerable
enough not to give 1t to your family
and neighbors," Mrs, Perry warns.

FARMERS SAVE $500 YEAR
IN CULLING FIFTY FLOCKS

Brookings, S. D., Nov. S.-One-third
of the hens in so typical South Da-
kota farm poultry fiocks .culled dur
ing the summer were found to be
slackers and were costing their own
ers 1925 apiece to keep each year,
according to a summary of results
found in culling these fiocks.
The culling was just a part of the
work conducted during the months of
July and August by Clara NJ. Suffer,
extension poultry specialist at State
college. At the same time she taught
those attending the demonstrations
how to do the culling themselves. But
figuring the actual money value of the
culling alone, at the rate of a saving
to the owner of $1.25 a year for each
Stacker hen eliminated from the flock,
the sum of $2,476.25 is obtained.
There were 1927 hens in the so
focks. OF this number 1881 were
culls and 3,S46 were retained. These
were not the poorest flocks, as the
demonstrated is generally taken to the
places where they have the best fiocks.
In many cases these fowls we're GULL
ed out on account of disease, as we'll
as being poor layers.
Investigation on the part of Miss
Suffer- has shown that it costs the
farmer $1.25 a year to keep a non-pro-
ducing hen in his flock, and the board
err hen represents a waste of that
amount on the average farm in South
Dakota, she says.
