4% better than an open grave, WHAT WE ARE GUILTY OF. A bHl and jeint resolution has been cedl into congress to stop the -h of obsolete arms on the.part of t, and calling upem the authorities to sot the ball EWiag foc.a wosid centecence looking to an tional agreement to put a stop te sale of antiquated guns, Tifles, alg Other firearms. Explaizing his measure, Congre man Moore said: “We are the great- est offenders against the peace and order of some of the Central and Latin Amesican countries, because we have put it in the power of insurrec- tos and other disturbing persons to make trouble at any time. We are not the aply offenders, because the &reat matlons are constantly selling thejr old arms, as we do, when they find they have contrived something Detter. On several occasions I have sought te learn why we sell old arms, and the only answer has been that e get some money out of them; that if we did not sell them, we'd neglect to do whgt other nations did. What does it profit a nation if it obtains a few thousand doilars from the sale of discarded guns, and then has to send batMeships and armies to keep peace along the border. That seem: 10 Be eur position along the Mexica: border today. We have been selling our old guns to merchants and junk dealers, and they have been selling them to agents for the insurrection- ists, with the result that we are now spending what may approach millions of dollars to keep the peace. We ought te stop the practice of selling old guns, whether other nations do it or mot, and then we should try to get the other nations to do the same thing. ‘We esuld make no sreater contribution to the cause of public peace. But by breaking up these old arms, we Would also srevent a great many mur- @ers, sulcides and other acts of do- mestle violence.” It looks as if Uncie Sam was care- less about the distribution of firearms and meeded to reform. A HEALTH ALMANAC. Since we are booked for a tubercu- losis Sunday on the 30th, it is not sur-| prising to find that the board of health of nia has resorted to a new kind of h bulletin to promote the pub- e interest in sanitary measures for the prevention of discuse. Read the following from the Journal American Medical assoclation of the 15th inst.: “The January-February number of the Virginia Health Bulletin is issued in the form of an almanac, It has the calendar by months, the phases of the moon, the time when the sun and moon rise and set for each day, the dmportaut historical events and all the other time-honored carmarks of alma- macs, but instead of the musty jokes and stereotyped testimenials of pa- tients ‘pronmounced incurable by doc- fors, but cured by two bottles and a Ralf of Indian Bitters, it has sanitary aphorisms suck as ‘An open window ‘A dirty well is more dangerous than a dirty kitchen,” ‘A good iron pump costs less than a case of typhoid, one of the best insurance policies a family can carry, ‘Two dollars for a docor is cheaper than & hundred dol- Jars for a funeral, ‘If your milk man brings warm inilk, make it hot for Rim,’ ‘Wire screens in the window keep crape from the door’ ‘Typhoid germg are small in size, but they are more expensive to keep than bleoded horses. ‘A light overcoat is better than a heavy cold, ‘Many 4 cough ends ju a coffin’ ‘It is better to sleep in the fresh air than in the fresh srave.
