W0RN0UT FLAGS.
Naval Rules Require That They Be De-
stroyed by Fire.
What should bo done with an Ameri-
can flag, old, worn out, stiiled or tat-
tered, that is no longer serviceable as
the national emblem? Should it be de-
stroyed? How should it be destroyed
without desecration?
There appears to be no law to point
the way. But there is practice. And
the best practice seems to point but
one way. Burn the unserviceable flag.
Perhaps make a rite and ceremony of
this destruction by lire.
Total destruction seems the proper
measure, and that is to be accom-
plished conveniently and quickly only
by fire. To bury the Hag lias been sug-
gested, but it is stated, on the other
hand, that remains may be brought to
light, and the method Is not considered
good practice.
To throw the discarded flag into the
waste might be considered a desecra-
tion or at least an unpatriotic disregard
of its sacredness. Fire appears the only
sure way of satisfactory destruction. 1 ♦

REAL LIFE INSURANCE.
its Co«t la Simply the Price of the Pre-
vention of Disease.
''Heal life insurance," says the North
Carolina state board of health, "is not
the kind on which you have to pay an
nual•premiums as long as you live in
order to hold it or for your family oi
some one else to get the benefits only
when you are dead. Real life insur
a nee is that which insures you against
death preventable sickness and a pre
niuture departure from this world and
allows you to enjoy the benefits whih
you yet live. Furthermore, it promise*
you long life and a happy one, u
healthy life au<Va prosperous one. It
may be bad by anybody, and, like other
kinds of Insurance, he who puts most in
it gets most«>ut of it.
"Heal life Insurance has Its price.
The adoption of correct living habits-
moderate eating and drinking, regular
work and play, plenty of rest In th<
fresh air and a disposition not to worry
—is the price of a long, happy life, fret
from diseases of the kidneys, heart and
arteries, the diseases that sneak in
opon a man's life when he is not aware
"Then there's another source of at
tack you need protection against ty
phoid fever. Homes with pure water,
screened doors and windows, clean
premises free from flies and antl-tv
phoid vaccination is the price you pay
for protection against typhoid. The
price against malaria is whatever it
tukes to prevent mOflQuitoes from breed
lug and from biting you after they
have bitten people with malaria.
"Security against tuberculosis, bron
chit Is, grippe, colds and pneumonia is
to be had mainly at the great price of
preventing people from spitting in pub
lie places. It is to be had also by liv
ing on friendly terms with fresh all
day and night, by avoiding overheated
homes or offices, by creating a resist
anee to cold by a daily cold water bath
about the neck and shoulders and by
proper living habits.
"After all, the prevention of disease
is the price of real life insurance,
we invest liberally and wisely in the
means and methods of preventing sick
ness we may cxjiect handsome returns
in a long, useful, huppy life*"

nfter its usefulness as a flag has
ended would be considered desecration,
even if not punishable by law as a pub-
lic offense. It should never become a
dust rag m* a part of imtcliwork or
serve any other use thereafter, In the
general opinion of those who would
pay it proper honor.
None of the flags whipped to ribbons
in the breeze from the staffs over the
treasury building ever has been de-
stroyed. They have been carefully
folded and put into storage under the
regime of Chief Clerk Wllmeth. Re-
luctant to destroy them, the necessity
may some day confront him as custo-
dian of the building, and he will de-
stroy them by tire.
In the navy and the coast guard reg-
ulations require that useless flags be
destroyed by lire. This regulation is
strictly enforced.—Washington Star.
Lubrication Saves.
You may ask why it is If the lubri-
cant is supposed to prevent contact the
surfaces should ever wear out. If run
without a lubricant your motor would
Ik* ruined in live minutes. If properly
lubricated it should run live years. If
no gritty matter became mixed with
the oil it might reasonably be expected
to last more than twice as long. Tlfe
lubricating system should therefore
continuously replace the tilm of oil on
every bearing or sliding surface as fast
as it Is worn out. Professor Richard
A. Leavlll in American I arming.
Music.
There is something marvelous In mu-
sic. 1 might almost say that music
is In Itself a marvel. Its position is
somewhere between the region of
thought und that of phenomena, a glim-
mering medium between mind and
matter, related to both and yet differ-
ing from either, spiritual and yet re«
quiring rhythm, material and yet in-
dependent of space.—ilclntieh Heine.

EDISON IS AN INVENTOR.
And That, He Claims, Is Very Differont
From a Discoverer.
Thomas A. Edison has always dis-
liked the term "discoverer'' as applied
to himself. "Discovery is not invention
he once remarked to an intimate ass<
date. "A discovery is more or less In
the nature of an accident. A nia
walks along the road intending t
catch a train. On the way bis foot
kicks against something and, looking
down to see what he has hit, he s
gold bracelet imbedded In the dust. II
has discovered that, certainly not in
vented It. He did not set out to find
bracelet, yet the value of It is just as
great to him at the moment as If, after
long years of study, he had invented
machine for making n gold bracelet out
of common red metal.
"Goodyear discovered the way to
make hard rubber. lie was at work
experimenting with India rubber, and
quite by chance he hit upon n process
which hardened it—the last result in
the world thut he wished or expect
to attain. In a discovery there must be
an element of the accidental, and an
Important one, too, while an invention
is purely deductive.
"In my own case but few, and those
the least important, of my inventions
owed anything to accident. Most of
them have been hammered out afte
long and patient labor and are the n
suits of countless experiments, all dl
rected toward attaining some well de
fined object.
"All mechanical Improvements may
safely be said to be Inventions and n<
discoveries. The sewing machine was
an invention. Ho were the steam en-
gine and the typewriter."—Chicago

of that race now. Look over the na-
tions and see.—Boston Herald.

5 bushels of Seeded Ribbon Cane of Honey Drip
15 bushels of Whip-poor-will or Cow Peas
20 bushels of Blackeyed Peas
15 bushels of Black Hull Kafir Corn
We have all kinds of garden and field beans. Come
early or phone in and tell us what you will want and
we will reserve it for you, for this is the last that we will
be able to get at any old price.
