The following ; hot weathei
sanitary suggestions 1 are timeh
and well worth heeding:
"The heated t-rm has com
menced and more than usua
care should be taken by lionet -keepers
in the way of sanitary
precautions against sickness dur
ing the next iew months. j
"The kitchen is the most im
portant room in the house and
it is here one must look for
germs of disease They are lurk
ing around m every unsuspected
corner. lhev hide in tne aisn
cloth, they sneak, around any
article where mould can possibly
form, and they are always near
any article that becomes a little
spoiled.
"Dirt it may be dust or it
may be putrid grease on the
stove, pans, siiik or noor, or
wherever there is dirt, there the
small but mighty germ will grow,
increase and . multiply until tne
numbers are great enough to
cause a "dispenation of Provi
dence" in the form of diphtheria,
scarlet iever or typlioid lever. .
"While looking around lor dis
ease breeders the filthy sink pipe
must noc be overlooked, lor tnat
is something which can poison
our system slowly, yet surely,
and while Jyou are about it take
careful notice of the brush with
which vou are in the habit of
v m
cleaning out the sink; it may
need to be burned or it may only
need a thorough cleaning in car
bolic acid water. I have always
found it a good plan to pour boil
ing hot lye or sal soda water
down the sink at least once ev
ery week. All the drains and
water pipes must be thoroughly
looketbafter f the v rnti vv be" hi mg;

A t-
onen our doors and windows to
receive. Or there may be a pool
ol stagnant water lormed under
the wall or sidewalk someplace
that is full of disease-breeding
germs.
"The garbage and slops just

removed iromtne Kitcnen snouid
at once be carried off and dis
posed of, and should not be left
to get sour and putrid.
"Another potent cause of dis
ease is the water closet, where
there is either a cesspool or an
earth box. All such places
x t
should be frequently disinfected
and 1 know oi no other better
disinfectant than common air-
slacked lime; but it should be
used freelv nd often. It should
be sprinkled in all dark, damp
places around the cellar and out
buildings. Here. too. carbolic
acid water may be freely sprink
led with good effect. When cess-
pools or closets are filled they
snouid be covered witn lime and
then with earth and new ones
made, and not left to overflow
and poison the air with noxious
gases. '

Thfi rural delivery division of
the Post Office Department has
a force of clerks busy sending
Ant rlnilv- thousands of notices to
local highway officials through
out the country, allmg attention
to needed repairs to roans trav
bv rural mail earners.
The rural delivery service is
hfifioming the greatest agency
vftt known for the improvement
of the highways of the country
and the helplul co-operation ui
the states which have highway
commissioners or other officers
is proving highly beneficial.
Several months ago, postmas
ters at rural delivery offices were
required to render reports to the
department of the number of
iniles of road covered by rural
delivery from their respective
offices, the material of which the
roads were composed and to in
dicate from official description
those roads urgently needing re
pairs and the character of re-
pairs required.
Last Friday Carl Davis shot
and killed a large bear close to
the house of Newt Guilliams at
Beaver Creek.
'About the time this was hap
pening, says the Newport News
Reporter, Henry Howell was
having great sport down in the
Yachaats. While out loosing
for birds, armed with a shot gun,
he heard a rustling in the brusn
and on investigating found him
self face to face with a bear. He
did "notliav e nTOChtHmridenoein
his artillery but he opened fire
and the third shot brought bruin
down. A short distance irom
where he shot this bear he treed
another bear. . He opened fire
and soon there was another dead
bear. It would seem that big
game was just hunting for Henry
that day for before he got out oi
the woods he spied a herd of
eight grown elk and three elk
calves.
Roosevelt could have the time
of his life if he would come over
and go on a hunt with Henry in
the wilds of .Lincoln county.

GOT, IN ALL THE NEWS.
Cummings Killed a Lot of Ads. and
Raised a Row.
When Amos Cummings was rapn-a"-in?r
editor of the New York Sun,
many years ago, an important news
story came m late one nignt. ana
was sent to the composing room
with' "must" written above it, which
meant that on no account must the
news be left out of the paper. A
few minutes after the copy boy re
turned to the1 editorial rooms and
reported that the foreman had said
the paper was already overset and
that .two columns of other news
would have to be killed if the
"must" story was to get in. Cum
mings took "the copy from the boy
and went himself to the comnosiuj
room. Ho demanded an explana
tion. The foreman told him that
there was a pressure of advertise-
ments that night and that they had
usurped. some of the space usually
o-ivf-n to news.
"What shall I kill?" asked the:,
foreman. '
"Kill two columns of advertise
ments and print all the. news," or
dered Cummings, and it was done. ;
, The next day there was trouble
around -the Sun office. A hurried
meeting of the stockholders was
called, and it was a stormy one.
Some of the stockholders wanted to
have Cummings discharged, but
Charles A. Dana stood up for him,
and as Dana owned the greater part
of the stock his voice was all pow
erful. . After the meeting Mr. Dana
walked out of his office and straight
to Cummings' desk. He put his
hand affectionately on tne manag
ing editor s shoulder and saia.
"Amos, you have my permission
to throw out advertisements to
make room for the news whenever
in your opinion it is necessary. We
are publishing a newspaper, not an
advertising poster."
Shortly afterward an improve
ment was made in the presses so
that' two or more pages could be
added to the paper at the last mo
ment if necessary.
At this week's term of the
Benton' county circuit court a
case of more than passing inter
est is on the docket. It is the !
contest case wherein ex-County
Clerk T. T. Vincent questions
the recent election of Victor P.
Moses to the office. The case
was to have been heard a few
weeks ago but an error was made
in preparing. the necessary pa
pers and it was necessary to
postpone it. Mr. Moses is in
possession of the clerk's office at
r.he court house, having taken
his seat when the other officials
went in, and 'much interest is
taken in the case, which will be
settled this term. -

er talks about courage. j.n iuo
course of his story he tells about a
certain respectful father he once
knew. Here is what he says :
Isn't it time we took off our hats
and thanked this pleasant land for
the good things it has done for us
by going on patiently covering up
our blunders, rectifying our mis
takes and responding cheerfully to'
our every intelligent effort ?
"I knew a man who had tne ngni
idea about it. His father had made
a great fortune in the pork packing
business. The heir was not puffed
up by his millions. Long after he
had grown accustomed to the money
and might reasonably be expected
to look down on butchers, if in
walking in the country witn nia
children they saw a drove of hogs
on the road, he would make the lit
tle boys stand at attention and take
off their hats. T want them to re
spect the sources of wealth he
said." . j
Don't Want Too Much.
A woodman who was passing
through the forest came upon a
bear who was rolling over and over
on the ground and uttering the
most dismal complaints. Bruin had
one eye closed and was covered
from head to heels with lumps and
knobs and knots.
"What cheer?" gavly cried the
woodman as he drew near.
"Bees," moaned the hear.
"Tint nature gave vou a coat of
fur to protect you from the sting of
bees."
"So she did." answered the bear,
"but she also made me fool enough
to want honev iust the same when
I was shedding my coat, and every
sting would lift me a loot mgn.
