Hot Weather Results

Every head of Cabbage is bald;
every ear of Corn is deaf; every Tur-
nip has been turned down; every string
on the String Bean has snapped; the
Caulifiower can't call a thing
less flour; the Spinach has stopped
spinning; the Mangle Worzle can't
wash a thing; the Leek is stopped up;
the rye is awry; the Sage lacks wis
dom; the Elephants will not lay; the
Horse Radish can't be bridled the
Bests are short of policemen; the Lima
Beans need lime; the Rhubarb needs a
barber; the Tomato has lost both big
toes; the Carrot has lost weight as
gem; the Cucumber can not coo-much
less bill; the Water-Melon is dry; but
Thyme is up. All these happenings
are due to the long drought and hot
weather that played havoc with the
Hospitals farm during the month Of
July.

Police Find Some Hot
News in Laws of City

Colorado Springs, Colo.-Studious
members Of the Colorado Springs po-
lice department have found several
laws in the city code that were news
to them.
When one member of the department
discovered the city fathers in the old
days had ruled it was illegal to throw
old shoes at newly married couple
the search for antiquated laws started.
Other discoveries included:
No man or woman shall carry fire
or any kind of an open flame on any
public street. "a person lighting a
cigarette would be subject to arrest).
No flag or banner, bunting. or like
insignia and legend shall be placed in
public parks. (The American flag is
not excepted).
Ladies hatpins shall not protrude
more than an inch from the head.
(The police have found no violator of
this ordinance.)
No person shall cut his or her hair
on the city streets.
And, just to make the problem more
perplexing-there is an ordinance re-
quiring all officers to enforce the law.

The Republican ticket now is com.
plete with the exception of States

ing the Senate, the Republicans pre-
viously filed John N. Simms, but he
withdrew on Tuesday, This arrange
ment was affected in order to keep the
position open, and makes it possible
for the Republicans still to nominate

will do in a short time. Mr. Simms
filed and withdrew as a favor to his
Party organization. protecting the
Party's interests under the new elect

HOURS

There are three periods of the day
when the telephone is used to a
greater extent than at any other time.
The first calling peak comes in the
morning around 10 o'clock, and this is
particularly busy hour in business
sections Then there is another high
calling peak in the afternoon about
4 O'Clock. The third calling peak comes
in the early evening shortly after z
O'Clock, when people are busy making
engagements and completing their
plans for the next few hours, accord
ing to officials OF the telephone COM
pany.
However, there are exceptions to
every rule. and while telephone op-
orators generally have come to feel
that the greatest calling peaks in the
day are around 10 A. NJ, 4 p NJ. and
z P. NJ. telephone engineers realize
that they must be prepared for other
peaks of traffic
Some OF these increases in the use
of the telephone arise out of public
events, and holidays. and may be fore.
cast and provided for in advance
Others come suddenly at any time Of
day or night. Such unexpected peaks

BOIL YOUR DRINKING WATER

ITO avoid typhoid fever and other
intestinal diseases. boil your drinking

water supply is free from contamina.
ton, is the advice DR.. K. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health gives to all who depend upon
private water supplies. He gives the
same advice to campers, mixers, motor
lists and others who are tempted to
queneh their thirst at springs or
strea ms.
Because of the drought. " DR.. Riley
said the possibility of contamination
from surfac e drainage is much great
er than it is during a normal season.
Even long rainy spell would not de.
crease the danger. A heavy rainfall
following such a prolonged drought
is likely to wash accumulated filth in
to water courses and unprotected water
supplies.
Typhoid fever is one of the disease
that leaves trail OF danger to others.
Persons who have good recovery
may continue to discharge the germs
and so be source of infection to
others. We call such persons Gar
riers." II they are careless and not
clean in their personal habits, any
food they prepare for others, may be-
come contaminated. Consequently such
persons cannot be employed with safety
to others as food handlers. in dairies,
packing houses, public eating places,
or in any other occupation where food
is prepared for sale or for the table.
persons who have had typhoid at
some time-even number of years
ago-may be carriers without knowing
it. The only way by which they can
safeguard others is by cultivating per-
sonal habits of the strictes cleanliness:
by washing the hands after visiting
the toilet; and by always washing the
hands thoroughly before preparing
food for the table.
I'VE can be protected against ty-
phoid within the last year or two. 90

lations that are necessary to protect
you against the disease. If you cant
reach yonr doctor, go to the nearest
health officer and have it done.

COAVICTS GOVERN SELVES
IN ISLE OF PINES PRISON
lnfractions Of the Rules Are In.
Vestigated by Prsoners-sehool
Maintained.

Isle of Pines, Cuba.-The "presidio
modelo' or model prison here is well
named. Many wardens and prison
boards in the United States could
well afford to see how Cuba maintains
this prison for $500 men.
The five buildings housing these
men are of unique construction, cir
cular in design. Each cell opens into
a court and the air is always fresh
and pure as a large window allows
the sunlight in each cell sometime
during the day. Modern sanitary ia
cilities, cot and chair are the fur
nishings in each cell, which contains
only one man.
No guards are found inside the
buildings. The prisoners govern them
selves. Whenever a prisoner breaks
a rule, an investigator is selected by
the prisoners from among themselves
to investigate and report to a jury of
five prisoners; who try the case and
report to the warden, Captain Cos
tello.
A wall about three feet high sur
rounds the prison. If any prisoner
attempts to escape he is shot without
warning.
There is no pampering nor prison
ers' aid societies. A school is main
tanned, but attendance is not compul-
sorry. The prisoners make all of their
own clothes and shoes, raise all food
stuffs and build additional prison sec
lions as needed.
1t costs the government 20 cents a
day to feed each prisoner. Breakfast
at 5 a. m. consists of bread and cof-
fee. The midday meal at IL usually
contains one fresh vegetable, thick
porridge, bread and coffee. Supper is
about the same with meat substituted
for the porridge. The whole atmos-
phere Of this prison is more like a
training school than a prison.

the late Mr.. r. H. Edelen, deceased,
could not be obtained to assist in build
ing the church as they had been in
formed, but it was to go toward the
support of the pastor of the church.
And furthermore that if the church is
not built by next June, the larger por-
ton would go to ST. Thomas Church.
The announcement was startling as
we'll as disappointing, as hopes we're
high pitched that our growing city was
soon to be blessed with another church.
The project, however, will not be
given up. The work will begin, if
only one wall is built Another meet
ing will be held tomorrow Saturday
at o'clock to consider plans.

are caused by local conditions. For
example, sudden shower may in
crease telephone traffic by ten to
fifteen per cent, for sudden showers
occasion sudden changes in plans, and
quick communication then becomes
necessary, Temporary failure of train
service may cause a similar jump in
the volume of telephone traffic, al
though peaks due to these causes
usually are of short duration. Ex-i
tremely hot spells will sometimes in
crease the traffic on business calls by
two or three per cent.
To meet such conditions the tele-
phone company must be prepared at
all times with an adequate operating
force, but it is tradition in the Bell
System that in times of special stress,
where the conditions causing the peak
continue for some time, as in the
case of billiards, serious fires or
floods or protracted periods of hot
weather, operators who are of duty
will come voluntarily and offer their
service8. This has occurred time and
time again, and especially in cases of
public calamities in which human life
and property are at stake. .

Seven-Floor Fall
Only Breaks Tooth

Stockholm.-Revising the case OF
Humpty Dumpty, Stockholm roofer,
recently fell seven stories to the street
without causing himself more damage
than a broken tooth. The workman,
Tore Fredelin by name, was mailing
plates on the edge of mansard roof,
when the plank he stood on gave
away and he tumbled to earth.
He said later that he remembered
striking many beams before he
reached the ground, but he remained
conscious throughout. Passers-by who
had watched him fall could hardly be-
lieye their eyes when they saw Ere
delin unconcernedly pick himself up
and brush off his clothes.
