Futreli to fill out the unexpired

business method in the running of
the auditor's office.
ELBERT BEDE SAYS
Love is a nice thing, a beautiful
thing, when not disturbed too pro
miscuously.
The agent who forces something
onto you that you don't want is a
highwayman who evades the laws
through technicalities.
The cry that there are no honest
men is a false one. Think of the
phsician who cures his patient and
shuts off his source of revenue.
No conversation is particularly
helpful that is forced upon a per
son. Chastity maintained through
fear may not be accepted as a pass
port at the pearly gates.
Guide posts to glory are so num
erous that we would bump into
them if sin didn't have such a well
beaten trail around them.
Those who sell out their farms
sooner or later want to join the
get back the land movement.
It is very unsatisfactory to have
to argue a man into believing that
you agree with him.
Speaking of the dollar-a-word
contract of a famous magazine
contributor—there are lots of
words that would be worth many
times that amount to be left unsaid
Child labor will never be one of
the foundations of an enlightened
citizenship and that's no kid.
Legislators probably figure on
getting passenger rates so low that
passes will be no temptation to
anyone.
Some of the big interests are go
ing our old friend Darwin one bet
ter and trying to make monkeys of
us.
The S‘anda-d Oil Co. believes in
hiding its lights under a bushel.
The American eagle is a bird of
prey which may be the reason
why so many worship the gold
piece by that name.
The only bad feature about those
South American revolutions is that
they make so much noise that a
fellow living in close proximity can't
sleep very good in the mornings.
MINED IN PRIMITIVE MANNtF
"lumbago-, First of Ceylon’s Miners
Products, Wrested From the Earth
Mainly by Manual Labor.
Plumbago, Ceylon’s most impor
tant mineral product- is known all
over the world for its luster, lubri
cating, polishing and binding quali
ties. The United States is th<
hief consumer. In appearance it '
a strong, black crystalline, a’
this respect it differs from the r
ish lead which is found in youm
rock in America. There are now
aland one thousand plumbago mines
in Ceylon, including all the shal
low pits, open works and deep mines.
The depth varies from’ a few yards
to as much as TOO feet. Most of the
mines are worked by natives, the
only important our controlled by
Europeans being the Medaj>o!a. At
the majority of the mines the only
machinery used is the “dahare.”
’Phis consists of a long wooden bar
rel with bandies at each end. H-ound
this a rope is given two or three
turns and a bucket fastened to each
end. It is worked by seven or eight
men turning the handle.

SMOKE AS A DISINFECTANT
C'islodgemertt of Morbid Germs Not as
Serious as Might Be im
agined.
Morbid germ? arc deposited every
where. They may 1m* lodged in the
bedding, clothing, hangings and
walls. Disinfection is absolutely nec
essary for their destruction. If this
operation is easy when one has etuves
at hand and pulverizers for sprin
kling the walls of habitations with
antiseptic liquids. The ease is differ
ent when these means are lacking.
And yet even in the open country,
even in the humblest cottage and in
tlu> utmost penury, disinfection is
still possible, the Paris edition of the
N’cw York Herald states.
Numerous experiments have
proved that the smoke caused by the
combustion of wood is a most effica
cious disinfectant, capable of de
stroying the pathogenic germs float
ing in the air and fixed on the walls
and furniture as well as those held
in the meshes of the tissues which
form the clothing. Thus wood smoke
is a very easy and cheap means for
the disinfection of the bedrooms of
patients and of other contaminated
dwellings.
In order that the disinfection
should be as complete as possible,
rather moist wood should be used, in
order to obtain a great quantity of
smoke. During the combustion care
must be taken to seal hermetically
the doors and windows of the room.
Finally this fumigation should be re
newed several times at intervals of
twelve hours. Of course, while the
fumigation is proceeding no one
should occupy the rooms.
I The statement of the antiseptic
value of wood ought not to cause
surprise, in view of the role it. has
plaved for so long a time in the
preservation of meats. The point was
to think of utilizing it for the disin
fection of dwellings.
ENHANCED THE VALUE.
Mrs. Terwilliger—Oh, dear! Th<
movers upset that barrel.
Terwilliger—Never rnind! It’;
