JfcUr, single copy 5c ally, per week 13c Bally, per month toe CARRYING DEADLY WEAPONS A bill which passed the bouse of representatives, at Washington with out a dissenting vote is Indicative of tite growing sentiment of the country w:ia reference to carrying of deail ff weapons. This measure though ap. lying to the Ulatrkt of Columbia, U drastic. It provides that it there shall e found concealed upon any person a evolver, a knife with a blade over three inches long, a dirk, blackjack, agser, sword cane, slung shot, brass knuckles the offender shall be guilty of felony and punishable by a fine of 11000 or imprisonment not to exceed two years, of by both fine and Im prisonment. The bill baa yet to pass the senate, but appears to have ex cellent chances of becoming a law. Congress is determined to surpress crime at the national capital, which Is largely due to the use of concealed weapons. A generation ago no one would have thought of such an enactment; three ar four generations "BO It would have been ridiculed. In the earlier days of the republic It was not uncommon for members of congress to go armed in attending sessions of that body, and Washington wns not a stranger to personal encounters between states men and other dignitaries. Clay, Johnson and many other notables fought their duels while in public life. That day has' passed, uever to return. A better civilization has come, as is sen from abundant evidence. No where has the change been more pro nounced perhaps than In the western section of the country. States which as territories were the scenes of wild and reckless shooting, and where dis ngreement between individuals was often settled Instantly in favor of the man who was "quickest on the draw,"' now have the most stringent laws neainxt the carrying of weapons ex cept for purposes recognized as legiti mate. In the smith, also, there Is a notable diminution of the "gun toting" once almost universal In that quarter, and no one now hears of the bowle knife, formerly the constant compan ion of sporting gentlemen. If the cowardly and criminal prac tice of carrying deadly weapons could be surpressed murder, manslaughter and the maiming of persons In vio lent encounters would be reduced more than half.

GOOD MUSIC WnAT ARE VOr OOISfl TO DO ABOUT THE M1SQUITOI One mlsqulto bite may hold a thousand materia germs. A rain barrel full of water a house full of mlsquitos. One tomato can half full of water may produce a thousand mosquitoes. . Stagnant water In the eaves of the roofs makes mosquitoes: mosquitoes make sickness, sickness makes doctor bills. When you clean up the yard front j and back to make the place look I tidy and be ready to respond to the; awakening of summer, don't overlook the mosquito's breeding place. Mos-1 qultos have been discovered to bej the sole agents by which malaria Is transmitted. If you never are bitten by a mosquito you probably never will j have malaria, which, by the way. Is not a harmless disease, as many think but a dangerous one that U likely to lend to serious or fatal Illness. Mosquitoes erow In stagnant water not necessarily in big swamps and i marshes either, but In almost any still water, even If It's no more than can be held by a curled up dead leaf or an old tomato can. If you would be free of mosquitoes, don't nllow water to stand anywhere about the yard. In pools, cans, barrels, old buckets or the eaves of the roof. If you have a cistern or a "rain barrel" keep It tightly screened. Do not allow pools of water to stand in rain. If you can't drain the water the yard or gutter or street after a off, pour a little kerosene on It. That will kill every mosquito egg In It and prevent others forming. If the water stays on the ground renew the kero sene about every ten days. Mosquitoes can't fly very far, and consequently never get very far from their breeding place. If you and your neighbors see to It that your own yards and the lmmodlate neighborhood are free of stagnant water, your mo squito troubles will be few and far between. As a last preventative for files as well as mosquitoes keep your doors and windows tightly screened.
