Whitewash, a Disinfectant.
"Whitewash is ono of tho best, dis
infectant? for damp, dark places,"
says Farm and Fireside, the national
farra paper published in Springfield,
Ohio.
"The best way to apply whitewash
is,, first, to have it perfectly free.from,
lumps, andt *hen use a spray, pump..
"Thoroughness is .important In all
kindB of, disinfecting work. It ls of
ho ?be t? disinfect tho walls of a barb
unless you also disinfect the floors
and mangers. ?'..
"One good point about whitewash is
that Its color tells you when you have
thoroughly coverc.d h surface.
*\Somo of the coal-tar disinfect
ants not only destroy, germs but also
kill lice, fl?au, parasites and, In addi
tion, heal cuts and wounds.
1 ? "The host ways to disinfect yarda,
such aa after a hog-cholera epidemic,
are>: First rake upi all ;tha trash and
burn it. Then coyer the yard three
Indies-deep- with straw and burn that.
If you\arb.not able to secure straw
sprlnk/,\ugthe grouhd with limo is a
second choice. To disinfect posts and
fences...whitewash or paint them.
"Disease germs shorten the average
Bpan of life by ahout two years.
About SO per cent of the. common dis

PORT OF
M BRITISH OPTIMISM
Wet Mach Impressed With Feel
ing of Seif-Con?dence in
England. -~
Amsterdam, Dec. 23.-Tho "strobe
sense of power aaa of self confidence
that seems to he the very atmosphere
of England." is commented upon by
Dr. Hann Vorst, a professedly neutral
correspondent, in recounting 'ais
impressions on a recent visit to Eng
end to the Berliner; Tageblatt. He
begins hie artcle by t?llln? of meet
ing 4 Russian government official in
London, who, after-a. rather despon
dent review ot the operations on thc
Russian front said: "At any rate, one
feels quito at easo and heartened again
after a few days in London."
This statement interested Dr.
Vorst. Ho decided to mako a clo?o:
Investigation of tho Russian's re
mark, ?nd found , that ho tilmself soon
succumbed' to the sense of London's
might. In .hi3 words, he came under
the spell of London's "silent demon
stration bf solid wealth,-quiet strength
and established power.'
Speaking.of life in London, Dr.
Vorst tolls the people of Berlin that
be found London has changed little
daring the war beyond the darken
ing of its. streets. Nowhere in tho
warring . capitals has Btreot traffic
suffered so. little. - In Berlin and
Paris, .motorhbunes have disappeared,
But in London, even those that wore
sent over td. Prance in tho beginning
of th?.wor have been replaced. Paris's
(hotels have reduced their, prices to
? war scalo:. Bul no such concca
olon has been made in London. Fur
thermore. the ?tages of London are
as resplendent as ever, evening dtress
ls common in tho boxes and crches
tra chaire, oxcept for officers in uni
form, and the restaurants have lost
none of their elegance.
Conversations with . EnglWhmen,
continued'*ho writer, show that the
English themselves are dominated by
a sense of conscious power.
"This impression grows," he.adds,
"tho moro one talks with English
men.? ; The 'hysterical - behavior ot
certain English newspaper's does not
seem tb ' mo to reflect che nation's
feelings ih any wayj On tho con
trary, I have'always noticed a totally
calm and objective attitude toward
tho whole business, for extravagant
excitement ls not a part of the na
tional character.
So from my omi experiences I am
inclined to consider these last peace
speeches in the house of lords1 aa '?
sign bf this conscious power. The
in- . vi-r-.--, - _uu l^wJ. u..?lf "
i?5lfi7U . Jpm?ytu mut xw.u- ? w?>* .......... n
enough for anything, aha is con se*
quentiy not afraid ' to have such
speeches exploited as signs of weak
ness, especially when they are an ex
pression of -what all natlona without
exception want at inp bottom of their
breasts-peace."
- The Worst Thing for Good Hoads, j
; -.'.'Perhaps the ' worst . thing which:
could happen to the cauBc of good
roads," says Farra and Fireside,
"would be thc building of all those
now needed, with ,no provision for
keeping them up after their comple
tion. No-'permanent'Vroad Is perma
nent In the sense of-no.t needing re
pairs and .upkeep. We have, shewn
in these columns that a conrpte road
way 16 feet wide can be kept in .conr
ditton for. twenty years or more by the
expenditure of from 225 ; to $35 per
mlle a year. There is probably no
road, ppiman?fit or temporary, which
can be -kept in reai?v good condition
for less. ??^^^^m^^?^K'' '.
"Some chargo for maintenance
there surely will foe on every p?rma
nont rood.>s When issues of bonds for
better roads are voted on, thia matter
of maintenance should be provldod
for.
. . "in . many cases tho.;,permanent
road will be far easier to maintain by
the Ordinary tax levy than were the
old unimproved highways. In such
cases the new road, instead ci adding
to the local burden, wilt lighten H."

? For contarles past Poland has had

small and unimportant matters, were
scattered all1 over tho kingdom and

judges were located almost exclusive

Since tho German occupation the

BnUrely sufficient tb handle all cases

been resricted somewhat in order to.i
