Most people care nothing for your fortunes and misfortunes They aie interested solely in your pi'oupeiity and success. All of us f ret, and scold too much. A sour face and a cross word never served to make the world any better uor a home any happier. - Don't be a growler. Borne people manage always to pick up everything with the prickly side outermost. Quit cussing the shirker and thank God every day for a pluce in the ranks of men who work and work hard and do even more than their share. Work woesn't kill people. It's the life some men live in the intervals between work that destroys their youth The Advanck is glad to note in to-day's issue the purchase of new equipment by the Norfolk Southern. It is to be hoped that we shall hear soon that the "night express? is to' cease hauling freight and that the Toad bed on the other side of the Bound is be ing improved. Perhaps the income tax may put the burden of taxation where it belongs. Everybody knows that under the present system the . poor man is carrying more than his share of the burden.

It is a pity that the officers can not pick up occasionally some of the grown men euilty of this offense. There is nothing more dusgusting au inexcusable than profanity with ; ent provocation. Unless some action is taken by the city authorities Elizabeth Ci ty may expect to have to report : one of these days some fatal au tomobile accident. Guided by ' ' inexperienced drivers, biff cars shoot through our main thorough fares at the limit of speed if not , ; in excess of it. Points of specialdanger are the street crossings. These are passed at full speed and some times with no warning from the driver's horn. More than once accidents have occurred. The . Advance suggests that automobil en should be compelled to pass important street crossings at a speed not greater than four miles an, hour. When weVe just had a raid 'and the air is clean and pure and sweet But otherwise the wind is blowing the dry refuse from the paved streets about in people's aces and eyes. The Advaxce ' For teaching the geography of the United States in the pub lic schools and colleges a strong effort is being made by the Unit el States Geological Survev to Foster the use of the Government Topographic maps. These maps contain so many details of local interest, showing even the school houses and farm' houses nswelas every wagon road, with which of course the school children are fa miliar, that it is said to be an easy matter for teachers to en I'st the interest of the pupils in this new type of school map. From an understanding pf the particular maps representing' their own Iocs lilies it is but a succes sion of short steps to lejad the rm pils to an appreciation of the dif ferent types of country portrayed on maps or other sections of the United States. " Most of the stan dard htlas sheets of the Geologi cal Survey of recent issue are printed on the scale of 1 mile to 1 Inch, a scale which shows the physical features of the country in very interesting detail., With these maps the pupils can determine the altitude and the steepness of their hills and mountains, estimate the grade of wagon roads, work out simple engineering problems such as the drainage of swamps, select dam sites for the construction of res ervoirs to supply water to imagi nary towns for irrigation, lay out imaginary trolley and railroad lines or canals along the most feasible routes, establish lookout and signal stations on .high points for the control of forest nres, and plan many other similar activi ties. - The Geological Survey has pub ishd 2,200 topographic atlas sheets, covering about 40 per tent of the- United States, and on re- eipt of fti.OQj from any teacher will supply 50 different maps selected with special reference, to the particular requirements of the class it is proposed to instruct in this new kind of geographic study. The selectionwill include hetudes the map (covering the area where the school is situated provided such a taap is publish-1 ed), other maps showing all the hysiographic forms to be found 1 the United States seacoast areas, hilly country, high and pre ipitous mountain country, swampy areas, reigions of innu merable lakes, areas showing dense forests, areas with wood- ands interspersed with many streams, lakes and other natural features. If less than 50 maps are desir ed, a special selection of a less number will be made on request and furnished at the retail rate of 10 cents per copy. Most' of these maps, each of which on the 1-mile scale covers about 225 sq. miles, or 150,000 acres, have been made at a cost for surveying and engraving, of 3,500 to $6,000 each, and the wholesale price of l cents apiece covers only about the cost of paper and printing. If the areas were surveyed and the maps published by a commer cial concern, these maps would need to be sold for not less than 12.00 to 13.00 each. The Survey also sells an excellent wall map about 4X6 feet, unmounted (in three sections), for 60 cents. This may be -included in any whole sale order as part of the 3.00. Applications and remittances should be made to the Director of the United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C, who will promptly fill all orders. It has been found that vcketa bles grown in soil infected with the germ of typhoid fever had the germs of the disease upon the leaves and sterna thrrty-one days after the soil wai infected, and the same germ was found in the ground itself thirty-five days af ter it was infected. Kainfal and sunlight did not kill uor re move the germs. Thousands of babies are depend ent on cows' milk. If the milk the babies get is cjean and pure the babies will live. . If it Is dir ty and laden' with the germs o diwnse thev will die. Are you with the babies? If so, work for clean milk.
