CLEANLINESS FOR HEALTH.

Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts,.
when Congress meets will introduce
bill to provide "a West Point OF
The air" United States aviation
academy, to take equal rank with
West Point and Annapolis. An ex-
cellent suggestion, and equal rank"
is none too high, for in case of war
the fiers would have to protect the
obsolete warships and slow, crawling
army.
West Point and Annapolis should
be changed to flying academies, and
the sooner the better.
A group of well-meaning, but not
too intelligent farmers inform the
Government that they don't want any
;aore reclamation work done, no
saore irrigation canals, no more land
drained or deserts irrigated until the
crice of farm products increases.
Those are the farmers that have
voted to keep out the hrst-class
European immigration that this
country needs, the immigration that
would provide mouths to eat all the
farmers can grow and more. They
vote to keep out customers for the
farms, and would vote to prevent
development of the country. But
they will not prevent it.
No extensive development begun
now would have any effect or add
0ne acre to cultivatable land In less
than ten to fifteen years. BY that
zine, in the natural course of events,
Ehe population of the country will
increase by twenty millions.
The farmers, more than any other
class, are interested in canal develop
,ient which would take, rs Mr..
Hoover has shown, from six to
twelve cents bushel from the
freight charge of export wheat, and
Increase the price of American
.heat by that amount per bushel.
Professor Hemps, of Budapest, il
reported to have perfected a new
care for hydrophobia. better than tho

persons bitch by mac Eats and dogs
were all cured, and every one OF
them. except four, within few days.
That's good news, but it would be
better 10 wipe out hydrophobia as the
British have done. Eyery dog -
kept in quarantine for necessary
length of time, and no hydrophobia
case was known in England until re-
Gently, when a Aier brought dog
through the air, escaped the quaran-
tine and started small epidemic.
The secret of health is cleanliness,
inside and out. Clean lungs. clean
blood, clean thinking prolong lite
and fight disease.
Leprosy, that killed thousands and
was looked upon as a necessary visi--
tation from above, was another WORD
for filth.
In Africa a strange, destructive
fever swept across the great dark
continent, 10000 were killed BY It
quarantine stations were established
without success.
Soap. water and disinfectant woSid
