(Copyright.) SOCIALISTS ARE AGAINST WAR TAX (Continued from first page). do not think that we need fear an in- vasion.” “Do these unprecedented military preparations foreshadow a war?” “We cannot see any great danger of an’ immediate war. Of course, this ceaseless, senseless rivalry in armament may lead to war.” Bernstein reluctantly admitted that the Panslavic movement in Rus- sla constituted the elements of dan- ger to peace. Asked what the effect of the emergency war tax would have upon Germany, he said: “It will have the effect of restricting the work of social reform and uplifting the masses, reduce the amount of sociol- ogical work and probably also have a restrictive effect upon the sums de- voted to educational purposes. That is another reason why we are against it. While the one time property tax will not affect the masses, other taxes will follow which will affect them. Money used in that way, nat- urally cannot be used for educational, sociological and other purposes more beneficial to the masses.” “The Socialists being the strongest party in the Reichstag, can they pre- vent the passage of the government’s demands?” “I fear not. And if we did, the kaigser would dissolve the Reich- stag.” GILL PETERSON'S SHEEP (Continued from first page). they will have all kinds of trouble - with them. Yours respectfully, y GILBERT PETERSON.

Wanted His Body Above Ground. Not so very long ago there dted, in the north of England, a farmer who left instructions that his body should be put into a coffin, and then placed In the loft of one of the barns on the “STARVE THE FLY™ IS FIGHTERS' SLOGAN. Chairman Edward Hatch, Jr., of the American Civic asséeiation said during a convention in Baltimore, *“The slo- gan ‘swat the fly’ should be changed to ‘starve the fly.’ " Mr. Hatch is right. Adults and chil- dren may alike be banded in a crusade to kill as many flies as have the temer- ity to show ‘themselves. But unless the breeding and feeding places of the- insect that forgets to wipe its feet are broken up the campaign will be in vain—at least it will fall far short of success. The thing is a simple factor in the arithmetic of sclence and health. If there are no places for flies to feed, if there are no places for flies to breed, there will be no fiies to kill. The new remedy has the virtue of getting right down to cases. The “swat” formula is only a palliative. The new warcry is an important one in that it touches the fundamentals of sanitation everywhere. England is al- most a flyless country. And England gained that enviable reputation not so much by swatting the fiy as by taking the fiy’s meal ticket away from him and at the same issuing a close order against the places In which it is wont to breed. There is no good reason why any en- terprising town, county or state, jeal- ous of its health, should not follow 2 similar course. [t sounds spectacular to tell how many flies you have slaugh- tered during the course of a day. It is pleasant to have their scalps dangling, 50 to speak. at your belt. But unless you have nullified its means of sus-. tenance and broken up its homestead rights the few you have killed will be re-enforced by millions of others Just as deadly and just as aggressive. Grievance Easily Attended To. The late Senator Quay of Pennsyl vania distributed both state and fed eral patronage, and was “strong for his friends.” An old soldier living in Beaver, Quay’s home, applied for 1 job. His pension was insufficient tc maintain him. “Oh, go down to Harrisburg an¢ I'll ararnge to have you cut grass around the capitol grounds,” Qua) told him, ° That was in the days of the paddeé payroll. The veteran presented hir credentials. He was not assigned tc any work, his chief duty being to re main at his hotel. For three months he drew his salary without giving the state any service. His consclence troubled him and he went to Wash ington to see Quay. “I've been at the capitol threc months and was paid for doing noth ing,” he said. “So I decided I would quit and come to see you about it In fact, senator, there is no grast there to cut.” “Well, why in blazes wait till the grass Quay. didn’t you grew?” replied No Pleasing Her. Governor Sulzer, apropos of certain feeble defenses of certain Albany grafts, said to a group of reportera: “These defenses are all unsatisfac- tory. In their presence I am -like Mrs. Oldes. ‘That Mrs. Oldes is dread- fully hard to please,’ said a woman. ‘How 80? another woman asked. ‘Why, Itold her the other day that she carried her age well, and sho didn‘t seem to like it af all, and she farm premises. It was done, and will probably remain there for generations. I told her that she didn’t carry it we RAKE BIRDS CAUGHT AT SEA Barber on Atlantic Liner Makes Neat Sum by Luring Them on Board and Capturing Them. The ship’s barber of the Atlantie liner Minnetonka has found a new and profitable pastime in catching wander- Ing birds during the voyage across the Atlantic and selling them on his arrival in port. All sorts of birds come aboard at sea, he declared, and many of the rarer specimens find & ready sale. His chief assastant is a whistling brown linnet, which lures the wander- ers aboard from its cage in an open port. When it whistles the vagrant fifers alight on the ship, and pres- ently flutter inside. Then the port is closed and the strange birds are quick- ly made prisoners. “I have caught hundreds of them, and I supply the London zoo regular ly,” said the bird catcher to a repre- sentative of the London Evening Standard. “On a recent homeward voyage the linnet lured a snowbird. It was the first one the London z00 bad been able to secure in 16 years. “What the birds require when they first alight on a ship is not food but water; and it must be beiled. Gulls follow a ship all the way across the Atlantic and back. American gulls are regular convoys as far as the English ‘channel; where they desert us to“follow a westward® bounder home again. “The_English gulls, which'are dif- ferent, having black feet, yellow bel- lies, and gray-white wings:-and backs, convoy liners over and back in the same way. The gulls like emigrant ships best, because the more passen- gers there are the greater quantity of scraps is thrown overboard. “I do not believe the laws against capturing wild birds apply to the high seas, beyond the three mile limit. At any rate it is humanity to care for them, and give them drink, food and medicine when they come aboard ex- hausted. My birds have brought me good luck, and the passengers are fond of watching them. “I had a curious experience with a homing pigeon once.. It -was mnear Whitsuntide, at which season they. hold races here. A carrier flew aboard as we were entering the ‘channel, struck the mast and was stunned. -1 cared for it until I thought it was strong enough to fly again, and then turned it loose. The bird, however, came back-on board. Again I set it free, and again it Teturned; -this time settling down on a ledge at.the stern, where it rested for a time, and finally left us as we neared Dover. It must have been disabled and couldn’t fiy tar.” Copying English Winners. Fnglish words and clothes is the latest cult of the Berliner, who de scribes himself as a “gent,” which he thinks n English word. He must above all things, says the Koelnische Zeitung, be dressed “tiptop” (a fa- vorite Anglo-German word) from head to foot. He tortures himself into a passion for “whisky sods,” though he would really much prefer a glass of beer. He sits- for hours every ‘evening in a “bar” “enjoying ‘strange and wonder ful drinks.” Of course he uses a1 many English words™ as..possible. Nothing German can express what he means by “dress.” “Cutaway”.is the only coat he can carry, and after the weary pleasures of the winter season, he assures you, “Oh foh bin ganz broken down.” In the evening he is satisfled only' with “pumps,” and any one who dares to retain the old-fashioned nightshirt i Best—because it’s the purest, .

Almost every medical man has. ex- perience of some lotion intended- for outward application being ‘taken by mistake, and such accidents will go on happeniiig until the general pub- lic does something for its own pro- tection. The druggist may label his bottles ever so carefuly, but to a child the label conveys no meaning, and if the bottle be left within his reach mo one. can be purprised if an accident happens. : Every house should contain a small, safe cuboard out of reach of chil- dren where bottles may be kept, for many medicines which are perfectly harmless if taken as prescribed by the person.for whom. they are in- tended would bring about serious re- sults if the bottle were emptied .at one draught, People do- not realize what great precautions are taken by dispensers at large hgspitals who have the re- sponsibility ‘- of dealing continually with many powerful drugs. In most cases all poisons are kept in a special cuboard, so arranged that an electrio bell rings loudly as soon as the door 18 opened, summoning immediately a “checker,” “without whose presence no dangerous drug can be taken out. These precautions, valuable as they undoubtedly are, must be supplement- ed In the patient’s home; it is there for the most part that the accidents | take-place. ! The First Gun. . There is no sample of. the earHe: “hand_ gun,”; first made, it is salq, at Leipzic (1375), which was merely a miniature cannon, fastened to a kind of club ang discharged like a cannon by means of a slow match.
