These wings or planes should then be mounted on a central frame or backbone by nailing them In position. You will now have an excellent gilder which, when thrown in the air will sail fifty feet or more. A motor which will actually make It fly may be made of a number of rubber bands running from a hock at the front of the model to the propeller at the rear. A jiropeller con be easily made by cutting the blades from a piece of tin and slightly curvlnc the edfces until It propolis the model at the right speed. A piece of wire, a hair pin will do. fastened to the middle of the propeller and with tlie end bent like a fl?li hot k. should be used to hold one end of the ruhlirr band or bands which compose the motor. The motor sholld be raided atiovo the frame or backbone of the aero plane ho that it will net toucli it. If tho model has been tested as a glider first of all. there will be no trouble It making It fly. If It should not sail steadily throueh the air. tie a weight, a amall piece of lead will answer, to the front or enter ing edge. A little practice will Boon ahow what weight Is needed and where It should be placed. To wind up the motor, turn the propeller around to the left about VO times. When all is ready for the flight throw the model against the wind at the aame Instant releasing the propeller. The toy aeroplane will sail onward faster than a boy can run for perhaps 200 feet. After one has built the first model areoplane It will be found a very simple matter to construct other which will fly further and faster. o o o o OOVPI to I Q O O COMPULSORY pi7? a i II Is our intention to illwixine of all furniture nuitaMe for X mas ftlfts botweed now anil ChrtitituiN.

INSURANCE MEETING NEAR END Presidents' Session In Chtraeo Oeceu pled with Technical Discussions They Dlacuss Methoda for Disease Prevention. CHICAGO, Dec. 10. Today's session was expected to terminate the fourth annual meeting of the Association of Life Insur ance Preeldunta In session sinoe yesterday morning at the Hotel la flulle. The pro gram for the day man flllod with the tech nical addresses and included a report of the life extension committee of the associ ation. Prevention of casualties, care of Invest ments and tho aid of the federal census bureau In furnishing scientific basis for risk computatona were other subjects scheduled to be duscusaed. "The decrease in the mortality rate from typhoid fever and tuberculosis can hardly be said to be satisfactory," said State Health Commissioner Eugene H. Porter of New York, In discussing the recent mortal ity statlBtlcs Issued by the federal govern ment. "Although the typhoid rate fell from twenty-five to twenty-two In 1309, during the years 1906 to 1S there was an Increased urban death rate as compared to the years 1900 to 1904. The returns for tuberculosis should be much better during ths next five . years If the work so bravely and enthusias tically begun Is continued. The death rate of pneumonia aeems to be steadily Increas ing; Its ravages approach those of tubercu losis. Heart disease, cancer, d sensos of early Infancy, 'llrlght's disease," and ne phritis all show Increase, nor Is the de crease In the mortality rato of scarlet fever, measles and some other infectious diseases of strikingly marked character. Diseases Nealected. "Let us face the fact that diseases known as preventable are not now prevented, and are not likely to be prevented entirely for many years to tome. Let us consider the ' fant also that we know enough now to begin a successful campaign for the ulti mate practical prevention of those diseases. W'a have begun a vigcroun campaign against tuberculoma and the results are beg lnnin to show. An effective campaign against typhoid would show quicker and more marked results. Of the -.373 deaths from typhoid In WJO, three-fourths at least could have been prevented. While typhoid U a water-borne disease, it does not all coma from water. Yet It is Instructive to see what a good supply of water will do. Lowell, Mass., before filtration, had a death rate from typhoid of Ut per Mc.000; after filtration. 25. Albany, N. Y., before ni tration 104; after, M. Plnghumpton, N. V , be fore filtration. 3; artcr. 11. Watertowii, N. Y.. before filtration, 68; after 19.5. We ait doing better than that now. "If the prevention of disease Is to be tiie crowning glory of oui clvillxatton, a cam paign of education must be undertaken. The knowledge now posstfsed by our trained sanitarians and expert laboratory work ers must be carried to every home and read at every fireside. The relationship of the policyholder to hid life Insurance company Is within definable limits a peculiarly in timate one. By reason of this relationship you are able, whenever you see fit to use your power, to elerclse a treineiuious In fluence over more than one-half of t lilt nutlon. What you say to them on health matters, what you advise regarding the prolongation of life, will be attentively re ceived and seriously weighed. I know of no one aingle aretuy in all the wild field of sanitary effort so potentially powerful for public health as your own organiza tion." trees Preventive Work. Commissioner Porter suggested ths im mediate establishment In each Insurance company of a departmeat of health to ln utruct medical examiners and agents In mnltatlon and preventive duwase work. Is sue health literature to policyholders, ar range public health lectures, co-operate with existing agencies for sanitary re forms, provide frou re-examinatlon of policyholders, etc "Japan Is now fifty years ahead of the I' ni ted States In the registration of vital statistics, although this country has been endeavoring to collect national vital stat.s tlcs since tha seventh census. 1S00, a perlou of over sixty years." i.aid l"r. Cressy L. Wilbur, chief statistician of vital statis tics. United States Census bureau. "Vet at the present moment we mum confess, with what humiliation our understanding of the situation may entail, not only that we have no reliable .statistics of infantile mortality for the Un.ted titates, but that we do not possess even fairly accurate registration of deaths for much more than one-half of the total population (Go. 3 per cent), and that we have practically no complete registration of births for even a single state or a aingle city In the United States. :'io ascortaai.The-nurabei-of births and deaths we must depend upon the re sults of their registration under state or city laws, because the government of the United Stau ;, under the limitations of the constitution, has no authority to conduct such work directly.

Hlrtha Are Neglected. - "Boston, which claims to possess the best registration of births among the cities ot to the the, Lnited Mates, obtained, according to the city registrar's estimate, only about 9t per cent of those that occur, while in some cities there Is the most disgraceful neglect. Probably the most utterly worthless birth registration of any of the large cities ot the entire civilised world may be found In Baltimore, Chicago and New Orleans, and when we consider the supreme Importance, of such registration fur the purpose of the study and prevention of Infant mortality, we may well urge all persons Interested In better conditions for human life and in creased sanitary efficiency, to advocate, llrst of ail remedial measures, better vital statistics, which means simply enforcement of good laws for the registration of births and deaths. "We know enough now to prevent all typhoid fever, and practically all tubercu losis, and very much of the "cholera In fantum" and other varieties of diarrhea and enteritis that slay their thousands and tens ot thousands of infant lives In our coun try every summer time. There are many other diseases thut might be prevented or largely restricted, as well as the large number of deaths and disabilities that re sult from avoidable accidents. The first step Is to knew where, when, and how many. This knowledge, which Is abso lutely necessary for modern scientific pub lic health work can only be obtained from accurate vital statistics." After Indicating the progress thus far made by states in the enactment ot effec tive registration laws, lr. Wilbur said: "Cannot this association aid the American Sheep Men Coming to Omaha Land Show Burdick Announces that Every Dry Fanner Should Have Some Sheep. Among the many western products that are to be shown at the Western Land Products show in January will be a repre sentation sent by the sheepmen of Wyo ming. Prank K. Burdick Is at the head of the movement and announces that If the other men In the sheep business in that part of the country do not care to Join In with him In a showing of that Industry o xne rarmers or the west, he will go ahead with It alone. Mr. Burdick, who up1 to a year wo owned a flock of 20.000 sheen In Wvnmim Is to have every farmer of dry farming methods raise a few sheep along with his other products and make It a paying Industry for the state. "Sheep raising in large flocks Is over In Wyoming, but the day of real profit in that business Is Just coming In," he stated In Omaha last week. "A man can raise S00 sheep a year on a dry farming tract of 220 acres and at the same time not interfere with the grain raising on his farm. The profit on this number of sheep at ths present rates Is from $100 to $300 a month, a sum which no man can afford to pass up."

On all streets on which there are street car tracks, and on all hills which cross or terminate on streets having street car tracks, there is a CONSTANT DANGER to those indulging in the exhilarating sport of coasting. Men and women, as well as boys and girls, have lost their lives, or have been seriously injured by daahing into moving or standing cars on their sleds or travelers. Why jeopradize your lives by coasting where the hazard is so great, when tnere are so many places in this city of hills, where this sport may be indulged in with perfect safety?
