The Topeka Capital—Gov. Clap-
per’s paper—declares that the Presi-
dent was not re-elected because he
“kept us out of war,” but because
of an “assurance that he would con-
tinue to do so.” If this be true, it
4s now in order for those Kansans who
voted for Wilson on this ground to
sue him for breach of contract.
*
Democratic leaders are now urging
ghat “after the war” will be plenty
of time to take up the problem of
a protective tariff. Long before the
Aesop, there were plenty
of people who contended that it 1s
sufficient to close the barn door
after the horse has escaped.
A PLAIN NEED OF PROTECTION.
We need no tariff commission re-
port on the subject of soy bean coil
when we see that commodity coming
jn year after year from Japan al-
though soy beans can be successful-
ly grown in all the corn and cotton
states. What we want is a reason-
able protective tariff on soy bean oil,
so that not only will American far-
mers raise the beans but manufac-
turers will operate crushing mills and
utilize the oil. Why should we buy
the product of the cheap labor of the
Orient?

Gil Emulsion Sprays.
Well prepared kerosene emulsion,
and certain commercial soluble oils
give good results when used proper-
ly, for suckling insects such as aphids
or plant lice, psylla and scale in-
sects. To make kerosene emulsion,
dissolve 1-2 pound hard soap in 1
gallon boiling soft water, and add 2
gallons of kerosene. Agitate the mix-
ture violently until a creamy white
gelatinous jelly is formed when
cold. Dilute with 8 to 10 quarts of
water before spraying foliage. For
winter or dormant spraying dilute
with 5 to 6 parts of water. Terrapin
scale is controlled with oily sprays,
while ordinary lime-sulphur solution
is not effective. .
CLEAN UP.
Harrisburg, April 3rd.—A state.
wide ‘“‘clean-up” as a measure of
prevention against a possible epi-
demic of infantile paralysis this sum-
mer has been put under way by Dr.
Samuel G., Dixon, State Health Com-
missioner, who is sending out this
week a letter of instruction to all
local Boards of Health and Health
Officers, as well as to the more than
one thousand men who constitute
the field force of his department in
its medical and sanitary divisions.
The instructions call for the eradi-
cation of all insanitary conditions
that might lead to a spread of the
disease and go into details as to the
precautions that should be taken.
“We must anticipate some polio-
myelitis this year and take every pre-
caution in the way of preparedness
against it,”
discussing his action; today, “even
though its presence last year does
not necessarily mean a severe epi.
demis this summer.
“We are coming into the season,
when, through the disintegration of
organic matter, much of the new in-
sect life of the year will come into
its first stages. It is during this
season that infantile paralysis gen-
erally appears in epidemic form.
“In preparation, it behooves us
not to let any precaution escape our
attention. Thus we enter upon a
bisulfide into | vigorous “cleanup,” especially when |
£ Borers and plugging them | we Leep in mind what excellent re-|
sulis were obtained in last year’s epi-
curative | demic when we went into some of the county,
small towns ard showed them how to
obtain almost ideal housekeeping.
“For some years the Pennsylvania
D nartment of Heoth ha 8 been WC rk-
ine for a preventative that could be
stnplied in sufficient ouantity te
fil anv possible demand. In this
important work, Pennsylvania can
renort progress.
“We must at the present time rely,
however, solely on the results of ex
perience obtained in fighting the dis-
ease. And one of the first lessons
said Doctor Dixon, in|
ia lecture on
stables, barns and barnyards.
care must be taken of each water
supply, for each one represents a
stone in the foundation of prepared-
ness.
Every
by the Department of Health is a
| crusade against filth, not only in the
cities and towns and boroughs, but
in the country districts. The circu-
lar of instructions is being sent not
only to our County Medical Inspec-
tors and health officers, but to all the
Department nurses and stream in-
spectors as well.
“The State Department of Health,
with the Governor standing behind
the Commissioner of Health in the
work, calls upon every individual
and all the local health authorities
to push with a strong hand this task
of insuring the health of our little
places—and especially at this time
when they face the heritage of pre-
serving peace and order in not only
our own union of states but perhaps
in the whole civilized world.”
PATRIOTIC LADIES.
Actual enlisting of every member
of the army of suffragists in Penn-
sylvania for patriotic work will be
begun April 18 and 19 at the spring
conference of the Pennsylvania Wo-
man Suffrage Association to be held
in Harrisburg.
The conference,” suffrage leaders
announce, will be asked to ratify
ithe plan of enrolling members in
ione of the four following divisions:
Employment bureau for women.
Department for training wemen for
agrictlinral work ard eliminstion of
waste.
ciety. \
| Department for the Americaniza-
ition of aliens. :
{ .It is expected that the delegates
-will agree to the formation of the
four divisions to be under the direc-
tion of a general central committee
|—the first to enroll women 1
GQ
| classify them according to the serv-
lice they desire to perform. The sc
{ond would train women to do agri
work in gardens and on
!farms. The third would assist
{Red Cross work, and the fourth
would work among foreigners.
Large delegations are expected to
attend the f from. e
| cultural
conference or
and business of the state suf-
frage organization will be facilitated
|as much as possible to give time for
{through discussion of war work.
In addition to the business
i sions, there will be a public meci-
ing the night of April 18, when Ui
ted States Comzr ioners of Immis
tion Frederick C. Howe will delive
‘After the War
What?” an address dealing with proj
lems expected to arise after the dec
|laration of peace.
