The New York city board Of health
has recently inaugurated vigorous
warfare on the common houseny as a
prolific spreader Of disease Among
the more important recommendations
to the public whose cooperation is
asked in the campaign Of extermina-
ton are the following: Keep flies away
from the sick and XIII those appearing
in the sickroom; do not allow decaying
material to accumulate near the prem
ises; cover piles that do accumulate
with lime or kerosene; keep receptacles
containing garbage covered and the
contents sprinkled with lime or kero-
sene; keep all stable manure screened
in pit or vault or sprinkled with lime
and kerosene; pour kerosene into the
drains; burn Or bury al table refuse
and screen all windows and doors,
especially 10 the kitchen and dining
room. The same instructions give the
following as the most effective method
Of killing flies: Place IN plates or

A sANER ATTITUDE.

One of the hopeful aspects of the
campaign which is being waged along
the line Of conservation Of our coun-
try's natural sources Ii the remarkable
change which has taken place IN the
attitude OF the lumbermen Of the north
and west toward the aims and work
OF clifford pinchot chief Of the forest
service bureau But a short two or
three years ago they viewed and styled
him as well meaning but enthusiastic
idealist who had a whole lot Of no
tons that wouldn't dovetail in with
the cold dollar and cents considerations
which were nppermost ID their minds.
But now that be has succeeded in dem
onstrating to them that the only thing
he is after Is such administration OF
the forests as will give them a maxi
mum usefulness and make them per
petual source OF revenue they are un-
stinted Ia their praise OF him as their
chief benefactor. AS result they are
cooperating with him in every way
possible. Including adequate measures
for the hghting Of forest tires, the cut
ting OF timber by selection and the pro
tecting Of the Seeding conifers, as well
as the Introduction OF methods OF pre-
serving wood and timber which will
add greatly to their life and usefulness.
This change OF attitude Is most whole
some and BODIES well for the coming
years.

1t IS d matter OF record that dramati-
cations Of popular novels are one Of the
most profitable forms Of theatrical enter
prises. if the dramatizatioh succeeds in
approximating the narrative Of the plays
but only when IL succeeds in reproducing
the atmosphere of the book is the drama
tiled novel a success, and one Of the
best examples Of complete sympathy be-
tween the printed story and the acted
play Is to be found in Neil Twomey's
realization OF Augusta J. Evans "St.
Elmo" No novel Of Southern life, or,
indeed no novel Of any classification, has
given the reader more virile or inter-
esting character than that Of St. Elmo
Murray, who wars against himself and
the world and against his own nober
and better nature, until the softening
influence Of truly noble girl provides
him with the incentive To conquer his
evil genius. Mr.. Twomey Is dramatic
author of experience, and every expedi
emit Of a master 81 stagecraft has been
to reproduce with absolute
fidelity to the original the charming
southern atmosphere Of this famous nov

the hundreds thousands, and the play Is
