Chas. Becker was put to death in
the electric chair at Sing Sing pris-
on, Ossinging, N. Y., Friday morning
for the killing of Herman Rosenthal,
the New York gombler. The former
New York police lieutenant retained
his composure and protested his in-
nocence to the last. He went to his
death with a photograph of his wife |
pinned on his shirt over his heart.
Three shocks were given before the!
prison physician pronounced Becker
dead. A silver plate was later placed
upon the coffin by his widow on
which was inscribed the charge that
the former police lieutenant, elctro
cuted at Sing Sing prison last Fri-
day was “murdered” by Governor.

attended by representatives of the
district attorney’s office, Inspector
Faurot went to the home and told
Mrs. Becker that the inscription was
a criminal libel on the governor and
prevailed upon her to permit of its
removal.

make up for the lack of these essen-
tials.’
Cooking and eating out of doors is
an attraction if the process is not ac-
companied by swarms of flies and
these are sure to appear if the wastes
are not properly disposed of.
If your camp is near to a stream,
go far enough back to be sure that
heavy rains will not wash refuse in-
to the stream, burn or dig a pit for
it. Cover all the waste which goes
into it with a sprinkling of chlorinat-
ed lime and then with a light cover-
ing of earth, This will insure free-
dom from fly breeding and noisome
odors in the hot weather.
Be careful of your water supply. If
it is from a stream and there are oth-
er camps or dwellings upon it, it is
far wiser to boil all that is used for
drinking and domestic purposes than |:
to risk the possibility of typhoid fev-
er. If a spring is used care should be
taken that this is not open to con-
tamination from washings of refuse
or other pollutions.
If mosquitoes abound for the sake
of comfort and as a protection a-
gainst the possibility of malarial in-
fection, reens or nettings should
be used if conditions will permit, and
if not some anti-mosquito wash
should be used such as oil of citro-
nella. If bitten, a mixture of one part
of aqua-ammonia and three parts of
spirits of camphor will destroy the
poison. By no means are all species
of mosquitoes disease carriers but
they are all comfort destroyers.
These precautions are simple e-
nough and if made a part of the reg-
ular routine of camp life they will af-
ford a reasonable protection to the
health of the occupants of the camp
and may likewise serve to protect
other pleasure seekers along the
, streams as well as the regular con-
i sumers of water for domestic use.
