There are certain proprieties which should be observed not only out of strlf mpee bet the comfort of citizens, and when those of mature age tramgrt ss then it is only proper that they should be reminded in a convincing way of the duty I hey owe society.

Auto Speed Traps What sre called "speed traps" are becoming numerous in tbs country, and there is good reason for this ac tion on tbe part of communities. Where there is a long atraight piece of road in the country It is less dan gerous for an auto to rnn faster than the prescribed limit, than to' do so in towns or thickly settled sections and where there are abort curves. but a speed beyond twenty miles an honr is dangerous on 'any traveled road. Nor can those in a machine enjoy tbe scenery or note the beau ties of the country when going be yond that speed. It simply tiecomes a wild rush regardless of life snd limb. It speed cannot be regulated in any other way it will be a matter for stats legisiatmes to pass laws imposing a lioensc tax on maohinis rated above twerty miles an hour whioh will be practically prohibitive. It Is difficult, in fact impossible, to restrain the speed mad driver to 20 uiiles at all times and the only way finally will be to make it ao expen sive that his wallet will not stand tbe strain. Generally with such men their pockets are more auscopti bie than their consciences.

'Most cvejy parent knows of a 'Kap tin Kiddo." The style of the work and the rep utation of the joint authors ought to insure tbe immediate success of scries.

NOTES FROM SANDYSTON Hie writer along with others took la the base ball gams at Branohville on Saturday between the Newlou and Branchvllle cluba. There was some very fine playing but Newton went down to defeat by a score of 8 to I. Neither team had any horns players with one exception on each am. ' Miss Badie fiursh, of Nswark, is pending her vacation with ber father at Layton. 1 The Layton Harvest Horns on Wednesday last brought out a goodly attendance and everybody had a irool time. Boarders from various places roateriaily helped ia disposing of the good things provided. There are cases which a doctor should let severely alone, and our Grand Jujy may hear something upon which they may feel compelled to take some action. In rebuilding the road fences many build the new fence a little closer to the road. It is only a qnestion of time when the roads will have to be widened, and the new fence set further back. The road from Layton to Branch ville is now In very good shape with the single exception of a big puddle of water directly in Culvers Gap. Vehicles are compelled to go through it, and theSandyston officials should attend to it. Tbe Civil Service Examination to be held at Hainesvllle on Sept 18th for a Postmaster at Layton may not have an applicant The P. O. De partment demands that the Postmas ter shall attend to the duties of the office, and it is a good ruling.

The House Fly Pest A recent bulletin published by Dr. Dixon gives some facts and statistics regarding the disease breeding power of house flies. The insect conveys the causes of disease by carrying the germs on its feet, balry legs or pro bacis and month parts. It alights on all manner of substances contain ing the germs of disease and then rests on the food of human beings It is an active agent in the transmis sion of typhoid or enterio fever and one small fly may carry over six and a half million haoteria. So too tbey disseminate cholera for the worst months for thst disease are those in which flies ate moat abundant. They also carry tubercnioc's and then in feet food. They breed rapidly and t is estimated that the progeny of a single, female fly, in case tbey all live, at the end of the twelfth gener ation may be over fourteen quadril lions. Screening Is recommended, poison papers, wire trapa and fumi gallon with insect powder. Theri great breeding places are in manure and this should not be al lowed to accumulate. Some thing to be remembered about them are : 1. Fliea can only breed in filth and their presence Is evidence that suoh material Is nearby. 2 They carry the cause of disease on their hairy bodies and legs and by means of their month parts. r 8. Keep them away from the siok partionlarly from those suffering with communicable disease. 4. Do not allow them to settle on the month, eyes, ears or nostrils of sleepicg infanta. S. Tbey sboold not be permitted to oome in contact with food of any kind or to settle on the milk bottles of Infanta. 6. Open privy wells or cess pools are particularly dangerons. Sani tary closets should be osrd. 7. Pliysiciuns should sen that cx- orela of all persons with iutostiiml disease are cared for in accordance with the regulations of the lioaltb Department. 8. Manure shonld be collected twice a week and spread on the fluids or stored in fly-proof receptacles.

Forest Fires The law relating to the fire warden system in this state Ib wholly changed by the act of 1909, which prevides that the commissioner of forestry and his deputy shall be chief and deputy chief with entire control of tbe sys tem. The chief snail appoint in each borough and township a district fire warden, who shall wear a badge aad in case of forest fire shall take steps to extinguish it and may empl y assistants. The district warden s'lull receive 25 cts. an hour and the a m tanls 15 cents. The district ward en - may appoint assistants, who shall re ceive 20 cents an hour. All .reports and accounts must be sent to the oommiesioner ol forestry. The flrsj wardens are not limited in )urisdio li ,u to their own districts but may enter adjoining districts. If fires are extinguished by unauthorized persons . they shall receive the same compen sation. l i April and May and from Sept Id to Nov. 15 fire wnrdeus niay in the diccrction of the chief keep a, daily patrol in regions subject to fires. Wardens have the same power as constables to arrest on view any . person offontling ' forest laws. If a warden fails or neglects to do hid duly he is guilty of a misdemeanor, and any one who refuses, without a satisfactory excuse tu assist, is guilty of a misleiiicjiior.' OBITUARY Mils.
