 After all," begins Shorty in q dry, humorous sort of way. as though he didn't care whether he got laugh or not. this world is divided evenly. The married men feel sorry for the bachelors, and the bachelors feel sorry for the married men. When you see married man and q bachelor shaking hands on the street, you can never tell which one is congratulating the other. Or which one is doing the sympatbiz- Ing. Every bachelor believes in mar riage, for the other fella. Most bachelors would take a wife today If they was sure her husband was outa town
 Tn this country We give the bachelors too much credit. Any Jane who has been out with them will tell you that what they need is less credit, and more cash.

A Newer Ending War

Ordinary rules of sanitation in the home
and by municipalities are saving the lives
of thousands of Americans annually and
making virulent epidemics almost I'M
heard of.
How many people a few years ago
knew that malaria germs were spread by
the mosquito and that many disease
germs were carried broadcast by the COM
mon househy? No greater in number
than these were those who realized the
efficacy of screens. covered garbage cans,
clean yards and the elimination of stag
nant water in ~exterminating the mosquito
and the fly.
A fly in the house is a sign of careless
housekeeping in this era of swat he-fy.
1t is only in the poorest tenement districts
and the squalid homes of the mountain
Ger that the h~ousefly is still given free
reign to faint foud and carry disease
germs from person to person. Neither is
the mosquito permitted to inject his ma.
laria germs into the veins of every sleep
ing human.
To successfully combat the fly and the
mosquito the campaign should be
launched early in the year. The munich
pal spring cleanup was designed to rid
the house-yard of the winters accumu-
lation of debris so these fly and mosquito
breeding places would not be present
when the breeding time arrived. The
careful housewife also repairs and ~installs
her window and door screens before the
spring debut of the fly and mosquito.
But the battle against summers pestif-
srous conveyors of disease must not stop
with p~reventatives. Debris must not tt
permitted to accumulate. garbage cant
must be closed tightly at all times and
screens must be kept tightly closed and
carefully repaired. And the fly swatter
must be kept in daily use.

TELLS OF FINDING
RUM CACHED IN 1894
Found 80 Years After Be-
ing Left in Arctics.

New York.-The tale of nine bottles
Of rum, cached in the Arctic In 1894
by the Dutch explorer Barents, which
finally ended their adventurous career
as four ounces, 80 years later, Is told
by Robert II. Davis In the New York
Sun.
The story, says Mr.. Davis, wastold
him by DR.. John G. Vaughan, a prac-
tlcing surgeon In New York city, who
in B03-1905 was physician on the
America, of the ziegler north pole ex-
petition under Anthony Fiala-
Barents, after whom the Barents
sea was named, says Davis, cached
the rum with his stores and records
when hts ship was frozen In at Ice
Haven, off the coast of S%pitzbergen.
Barents and four companions per
ished, while the others of the party
were picked up in Lapland.
Liquor Cache Is Found.
The run, together with the other
stores, remained u~ndisturbed until
1894, when the old Barents camp was
visited by the yacht Iris of the Leigh
Smith expedition.
Smith, being an Englishman." says
the story, was a stickler for the I'M
written laws that protect n explor-
er's cache from the hand of another
except in extremity. "The temptation
to annex the nine bottles was strong
indeed, but he issued an order that
two bottles, for medicinal purposes
only, be taken.
''Phe Iris then sailed to Franz Josef
land, where she was nipped in the
ice at Cape Flora and went down in
a few minutes. The doctor dragged
the medicine chest ashore. The next
spring the party left everything be-
hind them, got away In a whalebost
and reached England
Bottles Encased In Ice.
The Zfegler party came to Cape
Flora In the summer of 1904, after
they had lost their ship at Teplitz bay.
The following spring when the ice
melted they found q few torn pages of
a diary kept by the Iris doctor. These
told Of the finding of Barents' rum.
Pierre lie Rsya, a seaman, and a
friend determined to find the ancient
rum. Finally, when hope was about
abandoned, the chest was found, a
solid cake of Ice. This was melted.
Most of the Walls had burst, but one
small bottle containing four ounces
was found intact, labeled, "Barent's
Rum. Four Ounces"
1.-THE four ounces were equally d.
vided," says the story; "pierre lie Roya
and his friend drank 1t on the spot
And the friend" says Mr.. Davis,
was Doctor Vaughan, who vouches for
the tale and the quality Of the rum.
