IT'S DANGEROUS.
Insurance Companies Warn Against
Bcnzine Use for Killing Moths.

The time in the year has come for the
annual campaign against bugs by the
careful housewife. Not bugs that make
folks look as though they had the
measles, but common ordinary hungry
Buffalo bugs that take particular de
light in gnawing the vitals from last
winters best set Of furs lii this cam
paign benzine and other so-called eNter-
minators are being used with great
freedom and it's a wonder that there
hasn't been an explosion or two to
mark the battle up to now.
Insurance companies have taken the
matter up and are warning agents to
discourage anything of this sort that
may come under their notice. It's dam
gerous. they say. very dangerous, and
even though benzine is considered the
most harmless of any sort of these
fluids it is foolish to try to handle it.
Explosions are frequent from careless
managing and there have been many
cases where lives have been lost.
Bangor has had a startling example
Of the destructive power of the eXplo-
sives through the explosion in East
Market square last October when three
persons were burned TO death. Benzine
or naptha or gasolene-they are all
practically Of the same elements. was
the cause Of this and the same thing is
likely to occur again in any place
where the liquid is being used without
the precautions taken that are known
only to those who have had long expert
ence.
1t has been suggested by some that
spraying clothing in a trunk with an
atomizer loaded with benzine is a very
simple and sure way Of ridding the
cloth Of Buffalo bugs. It's a good way
to get rid Of Buffalo bugs. yes. and it's
o good way to get rid of all the family
and the house and everything else.
There's very little in this world in the
shape Of trouble that benzine and its
cousins can't kick up And they take
the opportunity when people have their
eyes shut
There's likely to be something in the
nature of hot rise in insurance rates

with benzine spreads. Insurance CON-
panies don't care to carry extra hazards

STATE HOUSE.
Interest Increasing in Old Home
Week Observance.

lied and Other Capital Gossip.

Interest IN the observance Of Old
Home Week is on the increase. Hon.
Samuel w. Matthews, the secretary of
the organization, yesterday, sent over
800 invitations to Bath. The Shipping
City proposes to give an entertainment
in the first week of August that will
make the rest of the State look to their
laurelS.
IT is the general belief among those
who have been Interested in making
the affair a success that .the Old Home
Week of the future will be relieved Of
all the features Of a function. and that
another wear the so-called state day
will be omitted. Portland was almost
forced into doing that honors this year
and there is d well-settled conviction
that she should not be asked to do it
again And if Portland doesn't, there
Il probably no city in the state which
will throw omen its doors and play the
host for the commonwealth.
Those who take this idea Of the fu-
tllre Of old Home Week are very cheer
FIJI about it, however. for they say that
the. best features of the week Will be
preserved. The three years agitation
Of the Homecoming has accustomed the
absent ones to make special efforts to
