BREATHING APPARATUS OF sR MOSQUITOES DIFFER.

Because the many varieties of mosquitoes in their intermediate stages between the egg and the adult have different habits, man has had to adopt different means for their destruction in his fight against them says the United States Department of Agriculture.
 All mosquto eggs hatch in the water. and that is where control work centers. After the eggs of the "rain, barrel" or common mosquito hatch, the larvae or "wiggers" feed dn the water below the surface. but each larva breathes through an air tube near the rear of it's body. coming frequently to the top for this purpose.

of the blood necessary to confirm
the diagnosis and the presence of
this disease. This laboratory test
makes almost certain the diagnosis
in any suspected case.
The treatment of undulant fever
involves all methods usual in other
conditions of similar character;
complete rest in bed, careful control
of the symptoms by the use of
proper medication, and the occa-
sional use of specific vaccines which
seem in some cases to have results.
However, the disease is character
lied by periods when the patients
get better and it is therefore eX-
tremely difficult to evaluate the use
of any certain measure in its con-
troll.
Contagious abortion is wide
spread among cattle. Hence, one
safe way to avoid undulant fever is
to use milk that has been pasteur-
lied carefully and certainly.
If contagious abortion can be
wiped out and if the spread of the
condition can be prevented by pas
teurization strictly supervised, the
disease may be put back into the
limbo of rare disorders from which
it must have emerged because of
some break in the preventive tech
mic, or some lessening of human re-
SiStance.

ganizng for real
OF course, such an appraisal will be ordered. The

of the commission have no power to refuse They can
only make it expensive, dilatory and worthless.

In the annual reports of these concerns
The profits shown are so exorbitant and excessive
that public body with the interests of the people at
heart would not have waited for an aroused pubic
to force the issue.
The holding company which owns all the common
stock of the local electric company has taken millions
of dollars from indianapolis in the last four years
under the guise of fees and services in management
The management from long distance consists main
~ in charging from SO to 80 cents ton more for coal
than current market prices. The cost of admnstra-
ton locally has more than doubled in four years

would have suggested to a commission which really

amount to nothing.

The natural reaction of the people of America
TO the conviction of Chicagos No. / public enemy
Aphonse Capone, will be one of gratitude to the
government for having stepped in and done what
the nations second largest city could not do If they
examine the situation bit more closely they Will
find there little to cheer them.
Here is the worlds most notorious gangster chlet
who has defed the law for years in the commission
of no end of high and sanguinary crimes.
yet it took the United States of America three
years of expert and arduous work finally to convict
him for conspiracy to evade the income tax law.
And when this hashy crook is behind the bars,
his own and other gangs in every large American
CITY will continue to bootleg" to muscle in" to
hich-iack.o to take their enemies for ride" to
shoot ND one another under the of the police.
Worse they will spread the reign of noisome
corruption and terror further and further through
our society until the ultimate of it all is
stamped out.
what is this cause? 1t is first, the economic
basis that lies beneath all crime 1t is next, the
bvpocritical prohibition law that seeks to punish the
purveyors of liquor while tens of millions OF Amer
leans declare the law an mpudent invasion of their
personal rights and consider its violation moral act
We need no longer preach this obvious lesson.

their consequent toll of homicide murder and vio-

be made in supplying 1t.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

DARENTS have many responsibilities toward their
L children Immediately the first baby is born, the
father and mother begin to feel that strong sense
of obligation which never leaves them again.
New dreams take shape in their minds and the
future OF the tiny morsel of tender flesh becomes
their chief concern.
And this concern for the future may prove a
stumbling block because it can make us forget the
seriousness of the present Yet in all the endeavorS
of men it is only the present that counts Today is
here and to parents it is of utmost Importance.
So for today we should make it our purpose to
shelter our babies in a home in which there is har-
mony. Discord warp the souls of little children
dStort their mental vision that it remains for
ever misshaped.
The most splendid heritage that any can have
is parents who love each other, and the finest gift
you can make your child is the privilege of growing
up where affection and amiabilty abide.
THIS is immeasurably more to be desired than
Il money or social position or fair future, because
it is the one thing that leaves indeible impression
of beauty upon infant minds and therefore shapes
their behavior in later life.
All this sounds much easier and simpler than it
is, every married person knows sometimes it
calls for the deepest sacrifices.
1t means that parents must learn to control tenn
pers and to put serenity at great cost and that
they must often forego the pleasures and the deepest
desires of their hearts
Yet happy childhood in home in which he has
cooperation between father and mother and in
which he has learned the true meaning of unselfsh-
ness and love is the grave duty that parents
a child
Without fulfilling that all other sacrifices are
made largely in vain. If your son has had it, you
need not fear to trust him to life. :,

and there was no longer any right
to have it coined and made legal
tender, the five billions of it, stored
in the vaults Of the United States
treasury, would become worth less
to the ounce, and if silver were re-
monetized in the leading countries
of the world, it would increase in
value, because of the increased de-
mand for it for coinage purposes.
Silver being more plentiful than
gold, and the sources of silver be-
ing greater than the sources of gold,
silver would be more fixed me-
dunn of exchange, because it would
increase in supply in proportion to
its loss through its use in the arts
and sciences, SO as to afford a uni
versal medium of exchange which
would not fluctuate in purchasing
power as gold does.
Our people think prices have
fallen. It is not true. Gold simply
has risen in value. The suggestion
that gold and silver should be made
the basis under bimetalliSm sys-
tenn is impracticable, because there
would be, under any fixed ratio,
shifting of value, as there always
was when we had bimetalism, so
that at one time silver would be
boarded as the more valuable metal,
as at one time gold was boarded.
Without attempting to give all
the reasons for this proposed rem
edy for the worlds financial ills, it
is submitted for the purpose of hav-
ing it discussed. Nobody seems to
have suggested it, but it would seem
to be worthy of extended study and
debate.
