THE FLfYLESS CITY.
The flyless city is the dream of
health officials. McPherson, Kansas.
"A " with a population^^* under 10,000
plans to realize the dream next summer
by the enforcement of an ordinance
enacted by the city commission
which offers an example to every
community which makes the wellbeing
and comfort of its citizens one
of its foremost considerations.
The commission, after studying the
problem from all angles, has ruled
' that no resident of McPherson shall
be allowed to keep more than onej
horse, one cow or one hog within the
corporate limits. All barns, stables,
chicken houses and even dog houses,
must be cleaned three times a week
and refuse removed outside the city.
rxT-hor* mpans will be available for its
destruction. Every merchant must J
place wire flytraps at the front and
rear entrances of his plaec of business
and all citizens must take similar
precautions in their homes under penalty
of incurring a fine.?Providence
journal (Ind.)
. If We Did?But We Don't
Sonieone has said:
"If we noticed little pleasures
As we notice little pains;
If we quite forgot our losses
And remembered all our gains;
If we looked for people's virtues.
And their faults refused to see;
What a comfortable, happy,
, Cheerful place this world would

OUR TIES WITH TUNISIA.
"A visit to a fruit store with its
dates, oranges, lemons and almonds;
the singing of 'Home, Sweet Home*;
the theological ackground of the services
at any Christian church?these
are some of the links that bind an
American, though he may be unaware
of it, to desert-fringed Tunisia."
With this introduction the National
Geographic Society issues from its
Washington, D. C., headquarters a
ulletin on the regency of Tunis, one 1
of the three North African countries
which the French contemplate placing
under a single administrative control.
"In Oak Hill Cemetery in Washing- J'
ton lies uried John Howard Payne,
the homeless actor and author of
'Home, Sweet Home,' whose first rest"lono

where he died while he was American
consul at the Tunisian capital. A
:omb like that erected to him in Washington
marks his former grave in
Tunis.
Africa's "Farthest Xorth **
"Agriculture is the chief industry
of the region, about the size of the
State of Mississippi, which lies between
the Mediterranean and the Sahara,
and projects farther north than
any other point in Africa. Citrus
fruits, almonds and pistachio nuts
form a large proportion of its exports.
Cork and henna are other important
products.
'Some 10 miles from Tunis are the
ruins of Carthage, cradle of Christian
theology where St. Augustine, most
influential of the fathers of the early
Latin Church, taught rhetoric and .
produced important dogmatic writings.
The practical lady traveler who
assured her companions that the site
of Carthage was bound to 'come back'
because it afforded excellent sites for
hotels and such splendid opportunity
for a golf course between it and Tunis
was more accurate in geography than
imbued with reference. The harbors
wheh Appian described still are to be
seen; the rest of the city has succumbed
to Cato's edic, 'Delenda Es' j
Carthago.' v" ' .
Once Rivaled Rome
"The present thriving City of Tunis,
however, is reputed to be older '
than Carthage, one-time rival of Rome
both in importance and corruption.
Indeed, to . the Roman world the. littoral
of Tunisia was Africa. The very
word 'Africa' is a Latinized form of '
the erber name for this region, 'Ifriqa.'
The gypsies of Africa, the Ber- !
Vnvra fttiii are to be found in Tunisia,
practically unchanged and unchangeable
as when they defied Roman
power and Augustinian persuasion. '
Even today Tunisia is an unconquered '
cohntry, since France assumed a pro- '
tectorate upon native invitation.
v "Tunis might be called a roofed-over
city. Many of its streets are wholly
or partly arched over, and its
famous bazaar is a vast market place
under cover. The women folk of the
caty are striking to the first time visitor,
whether they be rotund Jewesses,
with pantaloons and funnel-like hats,
or ladies of the Arab harem, completely
obscured by clothes, or the bronzed,
lithe figures of Berber girls. The attire
of the men often is more colorful.
Their love of colors, especially of
lighter and more delicate shades, gives
a chromatic impression of an American
city's Easter parade.
* "A physical curiosity of Tunisia
are the salt lakes, on the edges of
Sahara, which, at a distance, have
the appearance of placid sheets of
water, or ice-covered ponds, if one's
imagination could free itself from
thought of the blazing sun.' Closer
inspection discloses dred' mud, encrusted
with salt. For several
months an the year rainfall converts
these glazed areas into impassable
marshes."
NOTICE TAXPAYERS.
All persons who have not brought
in their road work receipt are urged
to do so at once, and overseers are
asked to bring their records to the
office and check same over with the
county treasurer.
There are approximately r>,000 persons
who have not paid their taxes for
the past year, and these are requested
to do so at once, as the tax books
close June 1. It is impossible for
the treasurer to wait on so large a
number in a few days, so those who
can are urged to come as soon as
possible. The books close June 1.
after which time an additional nenalty j
is added, and on September f execu- j
tions will be issued and placed in i
the hands of the sheriff.

County Treasurer.

Lumbago.
This is a rheumatism of the muscles
of the back. It comes on suddenly
and is quite painful. Every movement
aggravates the disease. Go to
bed, keep quiet and have ChamberIain's
Liniment applied and a quick recovery
may be expected. Mrs. F. J.
Dann, Brockport, N. Y.. writes: "T
can honestly say that Chamberlain's
Liniment cured me of lumbago a year
ago last summer. When I egan using
it, I was flat on my back in bed
and could not turn to the left or right.
I had a bottle of Chamberlain's Lini- '
ment in the house and this was applied
to my back. It promptly drove ;
away the pains and aches."
j CALOMEL SALIVATES I
AND LOOSENS TEETH.
I ? i
j The Wry Next Dose of this Treacher- ;
ous Drug: may Start Trouble.
You know what calomel is. It's mercury;
quicksilver. tfalomel is dangerous.
It crashes into sour bile like '
dynamite, cramping and sickening
you. Calomel attacks the bones and j
should never be put into your system.
Jf you feel bilious, headachy, consti- j
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone for a few cents which .
is a harmless vegetable substitute for i
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful "
and if it doesn't start your liver and |
straighten you up better and quicker J
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick you jus.t go back and get
yott? money.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day's
work. Dodson's iver Tone straight- 1
ens you right up and you feel great.
No salts necessary. Give it to the
children ecause it is perfectly harmless
and can not salivate.

Whooping Cough.
This is a very dangerous disease,
particularly to children under five
years of- age, but where no paregoric,
codeine or other opiate is given, is
. easily cured by giving Chamberlain's
. Cough Remedy. Most people believe
. that it must run its course, not knowing
that the time is very much shortened,
and that there is little danger
! from the disease when this remedy is
j given. It has been used in many ef>i:
