THE RIGHT REMEDY.

The Fairmnot West Virginian In
speaking of the advance in the price
of the stun used for light and heat in
its city, says, "We'll have to chink III
the holes and use less gas" This in
a nutshell is the remedy for financial
and commercial evils generally. The
present era of high prices which is
causing difficulty and hardship in
many directions, could largely he
changed and controlled If the idea Of
the West yirginian were fully carried
out. II everybody were to eat less
meat, for instance, how soon the price
would tumble. Everybody" would be
better of, too.
The State Journal has been talking
along this line for good many years,
and it is pleased to see a local matter
bring the West Virginian into the
same line of thought. The people
have peaceful remedies in their hands
for nearly all their wrongs, II they will
only use them.
Yes, "chink up the holes and use
less gas!"-Parkersburg State Journal

TIE AaoM lNARLE az.

The Baltimore Sun discusses fav-
orite topic with the Parkersburg State
journal in the following very enter
tanning manner:
why do we suffer the pestiferous
house fly tolive? He is filthy and a
nuisance, a carrier OF contamination,
a breeder of disease, an enemy to bald
heads and sound sleep. the prince of
vermtn. And yet we look upon his
vile adventurings with tolerance and
make little systematic effort to stamp
him out. The behemoth and ohter
vast reptiles have fallen before JUS :;
\ we have driven all snakes, cougars
i and bears to the steppes. But the fly
remains -loathsome and countless.
According to DR.. Daniel D. Jackson,
savant Of parts, the annual fly bill of
the American republic is staggering.
Upon the fly DR.. jackson lays the
blame for typhoid fever and all other.
snch lingering and deadly diseases.
II there wer emo flies, he says, typhoid
might be conquered in few years.
The average human life, he estimates,
is shortened fully two years by the
nefarious activity of flies. Again. he
estimates that flies do us billions OF
dollars OF damage every year in a ma
terial way They spoil our food, they
force us to spend enormous sums for
fans screens and wigs. and they make
life miserable
The striking success OF the war
upon the mosquito in Panama, Cuba
and elsewhere shows what might be
done with the fly If there were con-
certed and Intelligent action. Some
day, no doubt, that action will be I'M
lertaken, and after furious. campaign
the fly will become as rare in the
world as the salamander. Meanwhile
in the warm months we toss in unnec.
essary torture. The misquIto. for all
: its faults, is at least of some small
use to us, since it serves to keep no.
licemen awake and has redeeming
talent for music; but the fly is utterly
useless. A drove of flies mile deep,
two miles wide and million miles
long would not be worth twenty cents.

Last evening DR.. James H. Clark
OF Morgantwn, gave the first lecture
of his course of Common Sense Lee
lures on the Bible in the FIRST NJ: P
Church.
The Camden IN. J) Daily Telegram
said this lecture was "the truth about
the Bible In the language Of today"
DIR. Clark made good last night. He
showed how much greater demands
science made ON the credulity OF AN
uned1lcated man than did the Bible;
that while nature might Illustrate the
doctrines Of the resurrection of the
dead and the Immortality of the soul,
yet dt is the Bible, and only the Bible,
that reveals the doctrine.
The speaker stated that the Bible
teaches the value OF the individual, ma
ture cares only for the type OF race,
but the Bible nourishes the Individual
as Gods only margin OF profit in run
ming the universe is gool men and wo-
men.
This evening DR.. Clark will lecture
on The Perfect Book" The Morgan
town New Dominion said: Those
who heard one of the first two lectures
will not miss either the third or
fourth"
